👁The language of lying — Noah Zandan

🗣Subtitle: Farsi | English | Turkish
👣We hear anywhere from 10 to 200 lies a day. And although we’ve spent much of our history coming up with ways to detect these lies by tracking physiological changes in their tellers, these methods have proved unreliable. Is there a more direct approach? Noah Zandan uses some famous examples of lying to illustrate how we might use communications science to analyze the lies themselves.

👁The hidden role informal caregivers play in health care
🗣Subtitle: Farsi | English | Turkish

👣Once a cared-for patient and now a caregiver himself, Scott Williams highlights the invaluable role of informal caregivers -- those friends and relatives who, out of love, go the extra mile for patients in need. From personal care to advocacy to emotional support, unpaid caregivers form the invisible backbone of health and social systems all over the world, Williams says -- and without them, these systems would crumble. \"How can we make sure that their value to patients and society is recognized?\" he asks.

Ran Tivony describes how and why molecular movement occurs and investigates if it might ever stop.
