👁How does alcohol cause hangovers?
🧠Judy Grisel
🗣Subtitle: 🇬🇧English | 🇹🇷Turkish

👣The molecule responsible for hangovers is ethanol, which we colloquially refer to as alcohol. Ethanol is present in all alcoholic beverages, and generally speaking, the more ethanol, the greater the potential for a hangover. So, how exactly does alcohol cause a hangover— and is there any way to prevent one? Judy Grisel explores the surprising ways that alcohol affects the body. [Directed by Anton Bogaty, narrated by Alexandra Panzer, music by Jarrett Farkas].

👁How high altitude affects your body
🧠Andrew Lovering
🗣Subtitle: 🇬🇧English | 🇹🇷Turkish

👣If you teleported from sea level to the top of Mount Everest, things would go bad fast. At an altitude of 8,848 meters, you would likely suffocate in minutes.

Andrew Lovering investigates. [Directed by Vitalii Nebelskyi, and action creative agency, narrated by Addison Anderson, music by Salil Bhayani, cAMP Studio].

👁How puberty changes your brain
🧠Shannon Odell
🗣Subtitle: 🇬🇧English | 🇹🇷Turkish

👣While we often talk about puberty's effect on the body, what gets overlooked are the fascinating changes that happen in the brain.

Shannon Odell details what we know— and still don't know— about puberty. [Directed by Biljana Labović, narrated by Alexandra Panzer and Adrian Dannatt, music by Weston Fonger].

In a quick, incisive talk, she shows how Black girls can disrupt the stereotypes and stigmas buried within this music and chart their own revolution in sound.
