👁Who decides what's in the dictionary?
🧠Ilan Stavans
🗣Subtitle: 🇹🇷Turkish | 🇬🇧English

👣While the concept of a dictionary dates back to ancient civilizations, the first English dictionary wasn't published until 1604. In the centuries that followed, many more dictionaries were written by individual authors who chose what to include or exclude, with most quickly becoming outdated. One 19th century lexicon had a different fate. Ilan Stavans digs into the history of Webster's Dictionary. [Directed by Lisa LaBracio, narrated by Addison Anderson, music by Salil Bhayani].

🧠Grantly Galland ve Raiana McKinney

🧠Rebecca J. Barthelmie ve Sara C. Pryor

One of the fields where this problem is most pressing is zero-carbon technologies. Why is it vulnerable to this trap, and can we change it? Explore how to break the cycle of the funding gap.

🧠Elizabeth Cox
🗣Subtitle: 🇹🇷Turkish | 🇬🇧English

👣It's 1997. The United States Senate has called a hearing about global warming. Some expert witnesses point out that past periods in Earth's history were warmer than the 20th century. Because such variations existed long before humans, they claim the current trend is also the result of natural variation. Can you spot the problem with this argument? Elizabeth Cox explores the false analogy fallacy. [Directed by TOGETHER, narrated by Jack Cutmore-Scott, music by Massassauga].
