Science often makes headlines with its flashy stories, such as breakthroughs in cancer research, new technological innovations, and discoveries of new species or distant stars. However, there is also a significant amount of science that quietly impacts the way we live our everyday lives.
On a special live show celebrating its 10-year anniversary, The Pulse shines a spotlight on this often overlooked science. The show features interviews with a pediatrician and engineer whose work has revolutionized the way children travel, ultimately saving numerous lives. Host Maiken Scott also volunteers as a test subject for neurologists studying brain stimulation, exploring the potential for enhancing brain function. Additionally, a biologist shares her journey of discovery that has altered her perspectives on her research.
These stories highlight the profound ways in which science quietly but consistently changes our everyday experiences. From advancements in healthcare to innovative technologies, these developments may not always make front-page news, but they play a crucial role in shaping our lives and society. As we reflect on the past decade of scientific progress, we are reminded of the importance of recognizing and celebrating the science that impacts us every day.
