Around this time of year, every night, a quiet exodus is occurring. Hundreds of millions of birds are migrating thousands of miles south for the winter. One of the biggest dangers for these tiny travelers? Glass. Researchers estimate that every year in the U. S., collisions with glass windows take out at least a billion birds. Even if the birds initially fly away, these collisions can cause concussions, broken bones, and other injuries; most victims don’t survive. After much reporting, NPR science

In this podcast, coauthors Liz Simon, Flavia Souza-Smith, Megan Donovan, Eden Gallegos, Kaitlin Couvillon, and Patricia Molina summarize their recently published review article, "Physiological Mechanisms Vulnerable to Alcohol-Induced Alterations: Role in Chronic Comorbidities." The article describes alcohol's multi-systemic physiological effects on the gastrointestinal, cardiovascular, and immune systems, as well as on energy metabolism that contribute to multiorgan injury and disease

Tuberculosis – the world’s deadliest infectious disease – could be dormant in your system for years before you realize you have it. In the U.S., it’s relatively rare; provisional data shows that there were just over 10,000 cases in 2024. But in other parts of the world, especially lower-income countries, the disease is spreading much more actively. Worldwide, more than 10 million people are diagnosed with an active tuberculosis infection every year. And even though modern medicine has all the tools

Some scientists looking to preserve vulnerable species have turned to a controversial technique: synthetic biology. This catchall term often means genetic engineering – introducing new genes to an organism. And a recent narrow vote by the International Union for Conservation of Nature on using the technology shows how divided scientists are on the issue of releasing genetically altered species. Science correspondent Nate Rott wades into the debate with us and reveals whether or not the Union voted

The femoral triangle is an anatomical region in the upper anterior thigh bordered by the inguinal ligament, sartorius muscle and adductor longus muscle. In here we find the femoral nerve, femoral artery and femoral vein with some lymph nodes. These large blood vessels can be used to access vascular structures in the lower limb and torso, including the heart.

Laughter is ancient — even rats and chimps do it. It began as a survival signal: “We’re safe now.” Most laughter isn’t from jokes, but from social bonding. Real laughter releases endorphins, boosts immunity, and eases stress. Humor = surprise + safety (the “benign violation” sweet spot). Fake or real, laughter still helps your brain relax and reset. It connects people — syncing heartbeats, breath, and emotion. Sometimes laughter finds us in the hardest moments — and that’s its magic.

This episode focuses on surviving one of nature’s most unpredictable and devastating forces — earthquakes. Unlike storms or floods, earthquakes strike suddenly, leaving no time for escape. The episode emphasizes that true survival begins with preparation and awareness, not reaction.Listeners are guided through what to do during the quake: if indoors, the safest action is to drop, cover, and hold on under sturdy furniture, away from windows and falling objects. Running outside during shaking often
