👁A new way to study the brain's invisible secrets
🗣Subtitle: Farsi | English | Turkish

👣Neuroengineer Ed Boyden wants to know how the tiny biomolecules in our brains generate emotions, thoughts and feelings -- and he wants to find the molecular changes that lead to disorders like epilepsy and Alzheimer's. Rather than magnify these invisible structures with a microscope, he wondered: What if we physically enlarge them and make them easier to see? Learn how the same polymers used to make baby diapers swell could be a key to better understanding our brains.

👁How to use family dinner to teach politics
🗣Subtitle: Farsi | English

👣Everyone should participate in decision-making and politics -- and it starts at home, says activist Hajer Sharief. She introduces a simple yet transformative idea: that parents can teach their children about political agency by giving them a say in how their households are run, in the form of candid family meetings where everyone can express their opinions, negotiate and compromise. \"We need to teach people that political, national and global affairs are as relevant to them as personal and family affairs,\" she says. \"Can you really afford not to be interested or not participate in politics?\"

👁An urgent call to protect the world's \"Third Pole\"
🗣Subtitle: Farsi | English

👣The Hindu Kush Himalaya region is the world's third-largest repository of ice, after the North and South Poles -- and if current melting rates continue, two-thirds of its glaciers could be gone by the end of this century.

Environmentalist and former Prime Minister of Bhutan Tshering Tobgay shares the latest from the \"water towers of Asia,\" making an urgent call to create an intergovernmental agency to protect the glaciers -- and save the nearly two billion people downstream from catastrophic flooding that would destroy land and livelihoods.
