There have been some wild proposals about how to make Mars more suitable for humans—but how close are we to actually terraforming the Red Planet?

How Close Are We to Terraforming Mars?

Many believe that our universe might be part of a multiverse, but how close are we really to finding a parallel universe?

Interview at UC Santa Cruz

Last year, nearly 400 girls and women in India were injured or killed in acid attacks. But one group of survivors is not asking for charity. Instead, they have defied mainstream media accounts portraying them as helpless victims, opening a café just minutes from the Taj Mahal that they use to raise awareness about acid attacks. The women who run the café, called Sheroes’ Hangout, consider themselves feminists and fighters, and apart from serving tea and coffee to tourists, they seek out new survivors to teach them how to heal and reclaim their lives. Sheroes documents the arrival of a new survivor to the café as she struggles to overcome her shame and embrace her inner and outer beauty.

Dr. Kevin Debiparshad, limb lengthening surgeon with LimbplastX in Las Vegas, can make you taller. While limb lengthening has existed for nearly a hundred years and can help patients grow taller by up to 6 inches in height, only a few surgeons offer it cosmetically. Although the “minimally invasive” procedure does involve the breaking of bones and insertion of an implant, it’s “otherwise painless” before and after, says the surgeon. It starts at $75,000.

One of the best things a person can do when they can't find something they're looking for is to go out and make it themselves. This is precisely the story behind Smithey Ironware Company, the business founded by Isaac Morton over a decade ago. Around the time he fell in love with the practicality and beauty of cast iron skillets, he also realized that ones he felt were up to par were few and far between. As someone who believed in the ability of cast iron to be loved and passed down over the years, he wanted to make something that could live up to the quality of days past. Today, Smithey Ironware produces their cast iron skillets in North Charleston, South Carolina, creating pieces that will be used for many years to come.

As we get set for the Tokyo Olympics later this summer, NBCLX storytellers Ngozi Ekeledo and Chase Cain made a pit stop in their home state of Georgia to commemorate the twenty-fifth anniversary of the 1996 Atlanta Olympics, which they both attended as children. Known as the “Centennial Games,” the 1996 Summer Olympics marked the 100th anniversary of the modern Olympics and were the fourth Summer Olympics held in the United States at the time. Their trip inspired us to take a trip down memory lane to share some of our favorite early Olympic memories.

I started my day at 6 a.m and drove two hours to get to the couple. It was a 10 hour day of filming! I began the day by setting up lights, two cameras for the interview and my computer so the producer and journalist could interview this couple via Zoom. I had so much fun spending time with the couple and learning about their unconventional way of making a living living in a RV van. I was blown away by how much their son knew about investing at a young age of 8! My favorite part about my job is being able to connect and learn from those I interview and film.
