Chris Tack made seven trips to Goodwill to get rid of his stuff, before moving into the 140-square-foot home he and his wife Malissa Tack designed and built. Constructed on a trailer bed and parked in Snohomish, Washington, the house is more than enough space for them, the couple says. And one advantage of a home on wheels, the 29-year-olds say, is that you can always move.
Bacteria and viruses hitch a ride inside droplets of all kinds—sneezes, raindrops, toilet splatter. By reviewing footage of different types of drops, applied mathematician Lydia Bourouiba records and measures where they disperse in order to better understand how diseases spread. Watch how Bourouiba designs tests—some inescapably humorous and awkward—to study infectious disease transmission.

Agave plants, probably best known as the source of tequila, were important as a food crop long before the invention of margaritas. Wendy Hodgson, botanist at the Desert Botanical Garden in Phoenix, says the plants were cultivated as far back as 800 AD in some parts of the Southwest. Trek through the Arizona desert to see where agaves were cultivated centuries ago and what remains of the ancient gardens.

By 1982, fewer than two dozen California condors lived in the wild. By 1985, only one wild breeding pair was known to exist. That's when the U.S. Fish and Wildlife service decided to capture any remaining condors and bring them to live--and breed--in captivity. The Peregrine Fund, in Boise, Id., houses the largest California condor breeding center in the U.S.--with nearly sixty California condors living on site. Bill Heinrich and Taiana Carvalho take us "behind the enclosure" for a tour of the condor compound.
Given their outlandish names and traits, imaginary companions might be dismissed as nostalgic relics of our ephemeral youth. Yet, research by psychologists has revealed that imaginary companions can provide glimpses into the development of critical creative, social, and cognitive skills of children. In the third episode of The Real Guide to Imaginary Companions, we'll see how developmental psychologist Tracy Gleason uses imaginary companions to study how children form relationships. We'll also learn how developmental psychologist Stephanie Carlson tests the role of pretend play, such as creating an imaginary companion, in a child's ability to exercise self-control.

In perhaps the cutest study published in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, psychologist Marcel Zentner and Tuomas Eerola found that babies will spontaneously boogie when they hear music and other rhythmic sounds. The findings suggest babies are not great dancers, but they smile more when they do hit the beat.

Scientists engineered a butterfly with glow in the dark eyes. The purpose is to figure out how butterfly eyespots develop.
The Greater sage-grouse makes its living in sagebrush habitats across the western U.S. and Canada. Every year from late February to May, male sage-grouse perform a striking dance routine each morning at dawn. Jason Robinson, upland game coordinator for the Utah Division of Wildlife Resources, breaks down the dance and describes challenges the birds face in Utah.

Lyrics by Anna Bezrukova
HOME
Verse 1:
Take the time to think one day
About the safest place to stay
Forever (2x)
Where the loving words were said
And where the closest friends were made
Since ever (2x)
Chorus:
You are back again
To the place called home
To your own world
Full of dreams and hope
You are back again
To the place called home
To your own world...
Verse 2:
There your memories are stored
Remember things you first explored?
No limits (2x)
With your loved ones warm embrace
There is no way you can replace
Those feelings (2x)
Chorus:
You are back again
To the place called home
To your own world
Full of dreams and hope
You are back again
To the place called home
To your own world...
Original sung by the co-writer.
This is the story of two songs and several fine musicians. Lori Lieberman's version of the tale is she saw Don McClean perform his song "Empty Chairs" at The Troubadour in Los Angeles in the early 70s. She was so moved by the song she wrote a poem based on it from which the song "Killing Me Softly" was born. After she related the experience to Norman Gimbel he took her feelings and put them into words. Then, Gimbel passed the words on to Charles Fox, who set them to music. Fox himself, however, has specifically repudiated Lieberman's having input into the song's creation, saying: "We ,Gimbel and Fox, wrote the song and Lieberman heard it and said it reminded her of how she felt at a Don McLean concert. Don McLean didn't inspire Norman Gimbel or I to write the song but even Don McLean thinks he's the inspiration for the song according to his official website!" This much is certain. Lori Lieberman is the first to record "Killing Me Softly". Roberta Flack first heard Lieberman's recording. Flack went on to record it and it became a number one hit. The romantic in me wants to believe Lori.
Recovered video of Lori Lieberman on the Mike Douglas show, speaking to him about the genesis of "Killing Me Softly" while Tony Curtis holds her guitar....
