  The Family Gene - A Mission to...

  When Joselin Linder was in her twenties, her legs started to swell. She thought little of it, until her health problems started to compound in ways that baffled her doctors. Diagnosed with extreme liver blockage and dangerous levels of lymph fluid, Joselin turned to the most similar case she could think of—her father’s. 
  Joselin compared the medical chart of her father—who had died of an undiagnosed disease, ten years prior—-with that of an uncle who had died under similarly strange circumstances. Delving further into the past, she discovered her that her great grandmother had symptoms like hers, and she recognized that she was dealing with something more than a fluke. Whatever had killed her father, uncle, and great-grandmother was likely genetic, and the clock was ticking for the family members of her own generation. 
  Setting out to build a more complete picture of the disease that haunted her family, she approached Dr. Christine “Kricket” Seidman, the head of a group of world-class genetic researchers at Harvard Medical School and a colleague of her late father’s, for help. Dr. Seidman has been attempting the map the faulty gene for seventeen years and has confirmed not only that Joselin’s symptoms are genetic, but that Joselin’s family is this disease’s founder population—a group of people experiencing the baffling symptoms of a brand new mutation. Here, Joselin she tells the story of their gene: the lives it claimed and the future of genetics it foretells.  
  Digging into family records and medical history, interviews with family and friends and her own experiences with Harvard doctors, Joselin pieces together the story of a deadly gene to write a gripping and unforgettable exploration of family, history, love, and mortality. A compelling story of survival and perseverance, THE FAMILY GENE is an important story of a young woman reckoning with her father’s death, her own mortality, and her ethical obligations to herself, family, and society.

  Brazil - A Historical and...

  Brazil is the fifth-largest country in the world, both in terms of land area and population. Its geographical diversity is staggering, stretching across the continent of South America and featuring a wide range of ecosystems, from the vast Amazon rainforest to the arid Sertão of the Northeast. The country’s geography is a crucial part of its identity, influencing the development of its people, culture, and economy. From the dense forests and sprawling wetlands to the mountainous regions and extensive coastline, Brazil’s landforms have played a significant role in shaping its history and societal structure. 
  The Amazon rainforest, often referred to as the "lungs of the Earth," is perhaps the most famous of Brazil’s natural wonders. Covering roughly 60% of Brazil’s territory, the Amazon Basin is home to an immense variety of plant and animal species, many of which are found nowhere else on Earth. The region is not only rich in biodiversity but also plays a pivotal role in regulating the global climate. However, the Amazon has also faced threats over the years, including deforestation, land conversion for agriculture, and illegal mining, leading to ongoing debates over conservation and development. 
  Brazil’s coastline, stretching over 7,000 kilometers, is another defining feature of its geography. Major cities like Rio de Janeiro and São Paulo sit along this coast, benefiting from access to international trade routes and abundant natural resources. The coastline also plays a crucial role in the cultural identity of the country, with Brazil’s famous beach culture, music, and cuisine often reflecting the coastal way of life. These cities and others in the coastal region became centers of economic activity during the colonial period and continue to be important hubs of commerce and industry.

  Before the arrival of Christianity, early inhabitants of Finland practised animistic nature-based belief, where everything in nature had its own place and spirit. Some of the historical artefacts show that belief in the totem animals was strong as well. Learn about the history of ancient Finland and some of the intriguing animal myths. How the cat was created in the warmth of the sauna, how northern lights are created by the magical fox and how the moose carries the sun in its antlers. Some of these stories like the bear being landed from the starry skies can be traced as far as the stone age. These stories are dreamy and magical, but they also reflect the nordic nature and how people saw animals as companions and sometimes even as gods and goddesses. Learn about the myths related to some of the most important animals in mythology. How the swan was originally a man but was turned into a bird, and it was forbidden to kill swans because they had the soul of a human. How the giant moose almost destroyed an entire land. 
  Written and narrated by Finnish folklorist Niina Niskanen.
