👁The bizarre world of parasitic wasps
🧠Miles Zhang
🗣Subtitle: 🇬🇧English | 🇹🇷Turkish

👣A cockroach and jewel wasp are locked in battle. The wasp latches onto the cockroach and inserts her stinger into the cockroach's brain, where her venom blocks its fight-or-flight response. Now, the cockroach is essentially a zombie, and its carcass will be used to grow the wasp's offspring. Miles Zhang explores the gruesome evolutionary strategy known as parasitoidism. [Directed by Denys Spolitak, narrated by Jack Cutmore-Scott, music by Salil Bhayani, cAMP Studio].

👁How do airplanes actually fly?
🧠Raymond Adkins
🗣Subtitle: 🇬🇧English | 🇹🇷Turkish

👣By 1917, Albert Einstein had explained the relationship between space and time. But, that year, he designed a flawed airplane wing. His attempt was based on an incomplete theory of how flight works. Indeed, insufficient and inaccurate explanations still circulate today. So, where did Einstein go wrong? And how exactly do planes fly? Raymond Adkins explains the concept of aerodynamic lift. [Directed by Michael Kalopaidis, Zedem Media, narrated by Addison Anderson].

👁What makes a language... a language?
🧠Martin Hilpert
🗣Subtitle: 🇬🇧English | 🇹🇷Turkish

👣Outside of China, Mandarin and Cantonese are often referred to as Chinese dialects, despite being even more dissimilar than Spanish and Italian.

🧠David Biello
