How Does Myasthenia Gravis Work?

That's an autoimmune condition called myasthenia gravis, and it leads to muscle weakness that starts around the eyes and can progress to the face, neck, and limbs. Learn about its symptoms, what causes them, and how different treatments can help relieve them in today's episode of BrainStuff. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Weather Geeks
Unlocking Radar Data Amidst Record Severe Weather
Guest: Dr. Stephen Nesbitt Five years ago, Dr. Steve Nesbitt joined us to unpack the fundamentals of radar meteorology. Since then, atmospheric science has undergone a massive evolution moving from how we capture severe weather to how we decode it using artificial intelligence and cloud computing. As a UIUC Professor, incoming Associate Dean, and newly named AMS Fellow, Steve has spent his career studying Earth’s most explosive storms. Today, he’s leading a new frontier in meteorology, building open-source tools like Radar DataTree to turn decades of legacy radar files into AI-ready intelligence. We’re sitting down with Steve to catch up on what’s changed since his last visit, how AI is reshaping weather science, and the physics behind the Midwest’s wild tornado season.

Today's Creation Moment
Could Creation and Evolution Be Telling the Same Story?
The creation sequence described in Genesis differs from the sequence proposed by evolutionary explanations. Major differences include the order of the Earth, Sun, plants, sea creatures, birds, land animals, and the role of death. For more creation...
