NASA Scientist Dominic Benford takes a behind the scenes look at NASA’s Nancy Grace Roman Space Telescope before it launches in September. Learn how this first-of-its-kind observatory will map the universe one panoramic frame at a time.Then, digital illusionist and author Keelan Leyser reveals how the hidden blind spots in our perception shape everything from everyday decisions and online behavior to courtroom verdicts and deepfakes in his new book “Unseen: Blind Spots and Why We Miss What Matters Most.”

Beth Simone Noveck, author of "Reboot: AI and the Race to Save Democracy," discusses how artificial intelligence could strengthen democracy, improve government services and help rebuild public trust in institutions.Then, from advising the White House on science and technology policy to leading AI strategy at the University of Utah, Dr. Manish Parashar discusses how artificial intelligence is reshaping research, industry and everyday life.

NASA Sagan Fellow Margaret Thompson discusses her groundbreaking research on rocky exoplanets. Using laboratory experiments and theoretical models, she explores how these distant “magma worlds” form, evolve and develop atmospheres that may one day reveal signs of life. (1:06)Then, science journalist Rebecca Boyle discusses her Scientific American article on mysterious “Little Red Dots” discovered by the James Webb Space Telescope that could reshape how scientists understand the early universe.

Elizabeth Hellmuth Margulis explores how music can transport us into vivid inner worlds and what those musical daydreams reveal about the mind. (1:09)Then, astrophysicist Emma Chapman explores how radio waves reveal the hidden universe and what they can teach us about everything from distant planets to the origins of the cosmos. (27:05)

Kevin Williams, founder and CEO of Ascend AI Labs, explores how AI has evolved from a future possibility into a powerful opportunity and how organizations are learning to harness it to work smarter, move faster, and stay competitive in a rapidly changing world.Then, University of Utah chemist Matthew Sigman explains how machine learning is transforming drug discovery. By predicting how molecules form, especially their critical “handedness,” new tools can dramatically cut the time, cost, and trial-and-error required to develop life-saving medicines.

Simon Rogers of Google discusses his book, “What We Ask Google,” and what two decades of search data reveal about human curiosity, behavior and connection. (1:42)Then, Dr. Vanessa Chang explores how human bodies and technologies have always shaped one another, and why intelligence must be understood as embodied, relational, and deeply human. (26:46)

Mathematician Richard Elwes discusses his book, “Huge Numbers,” and how the pursuit of ever-larger numbers has shaped math, science and human thought. Then, astrophysicist and journalist Maria Luísa Buzzo discusses her Scientific American article on unusual galaxies that appear to lack dark matter, challenging how scientists understand galaxy formation.

University of Utah geologist William Johnson discusses the discovery of a hidden, pressurized freshwater aquifer beneath the Great Salt Lake and what it could mean for dust control and the lake’s future. (1:12)Then, author and technology executive Fred Voccola explains why AI First organizations are already seeing dramatic productivity gains and why companies that fail to adapt may not survive the next decade. (26:45)

Science journalist Lee Billings of Scientific American discusses Artemis II and what it means for the future of human space exploration.
