  Weather Science - How...

  Everyone has an interest in the weather, whether it's to check the prospects for a day out or to know when best to harvest a crop. The Earth's weather systems also provide some of the most dramatic forces of nature, from the vast release of energy in a lightning flash to the devastating impact of tornadoes and hurricanes. 
   
  For centuries, our only real guide to future weather was folklore, but with the introduction of the first weather forecasts and maps in Victorian times, attempts were made to give some warning of the weather to come. Until relatively recently, these forecasts could be wildly inaccurate - think of Michael Fish's denial that there was a storm on the way the night before the UK's great storm of 1987. This was due to the mathematically chaotic nature of weather systems, first discovered in the 1960s, the understanding of which would transform forecasting from the 1990s and mean that meteorologists became some of the foremost users of supercomputers. 
   
  From the crystalline perfection of the snowflake to the transfer of energy from the Sun, science lies at the heart of the weather and our understanding of it. In recent years, weather science has moved to the leading edge with advanced modelling, versatile use of satellite data and a better understanding of mathematical chaos. This is a true example of hot science at work.

  Catching cancer early remains the single best way to combat a disease that is the second-leading killer in both the US and worldwide. But the vast majority of resources in the fight against cancer are devoted to relatively ineffective late-stage treatments. Early Detection examines this important anomaly in an accessible and expertly researched survey.In a co-authorship that brings together the passion and urgency of someone touched deeply by the experience of cancer with the knowledge of a skilled science writer, Ratner and Bonislawski narrate compelling case studies across a range of screening programs and different forms of cancer. They look at the science underpinning early detection and discuss the organizational and social challenges of widespread screening, a dimension that has been shown to be especially important in the COVID-19 pandemic. And they call for the government and the medical establishment to provide resources for expanding screening, especially in economically disadvantaged communities that have traditionally been underserved.

  Dermatology - The Science of...

  Dermatology is a specialized field of medicine that focuses on the diagnosis, treatment, and prevention of skin diseases, conditions, and cosmetic issues. The skin, being the largest organ in the human body, plays a crucial role in protecting internal organs from external threats such as pathogens, chemicals, and UV radiation. It also regulates temperature, facilitates sensation, and contributes to overall health. Given its numerous functions, the importance of dermatology in healthcare cannot be overstated. 
  As a visible organ, the skin often reflects a person’s internal health. Changes in skin appearance or texture can indicate underlying medical conditions, such as infections, hormonal imbalances, or autoimmune diseases. Therefore, dermatology is not only concerned with treating skin-specific ailments but also with identifying and addressing broader health issues. For instance, many systemic diseases, such as lupus or diabetes, manifest with skin symptoms, which dermatologists are trained to recognize and interpret. 
  In addition to its diagnostic capabilities, dermatology is vital for managing a wide range of common skin conditions, some of which can significantly impact a person's quality of life. Disorders such as acne, eczema, and psoriasis are prevalent, with millions of people worldwide affected by these conditions. These disorders often have both physical and psychological effects, as they can cause discomfort, scarring, and social stigma. Dermatologists are skilled in offering both medical treatments and cosmetic procedures to help individuals manage these conditions effectively.

  This collection of nine performance pieces reflects the inspirational words of Margaret Mead, who said, "Never doubt that a small group of thoughtful individuals can change the world. Indeed, it is the only thing that ever has." Together, these performances memorialize the diversity, beauty, and fragility of our planet.
  Poet Terry Tempest Williams talks about the peregrine falcon; Larry Cox talks about the rainforests; poet Diane Ackerman reads from her work The Whale in Moonlight; scientist Dr. David Suzuki lectures on a sense of place; muralist Wyland talks about whales and art; urban environmentalist Gerald Lordhal talks about community gardens in New York City; author Peter Matthiessen reads from his book Sand Rivers; biologist Sharon Matola talks about the Belize Zoo, and nine-year-old Annie Olson talks about her two little friends.
