We're experimenting and would love to hear from you!

In this  episode of Discover Daily, we delve into a groundbreaking legal challenge as the Democratic Republic of Congo files criminal complaints against Apple subsidiaries over conflict minerals. The case marks a historic moment in corporate accountability, addressing allegations of war crimes and human rights violations in the tech supply chain, with Apple maintaining its commitment to responsible sourcing practices.

Oregon's revolutionary psilocybin therapy program takes center stage as we explore its remarkable progress, with 31 licensed service centers and 356 facilitators serving approximately 8,000 clients. The program's impressive 99.9% safety record and growing accessibility showcase its potential in treating various mental health conditions, particularly among veterans, while addressing challenges of cost and regulation.

The episode culminates with an extraordinary paleontological discovery in Mallorca, Spain - a 270-280 million-year-old gorgonopsian fossil that's rewriting the history of mammalian evolution. This remarkable find, predating previous specimens by 5-10 million years, provides crucial insights into early mammal ancestors and their distribution across ancient Pangaea, challenging existing theories about mammalian evolution.
