A lot can happen in a week. Some of it good. Some of it bad. Some of it downright ugly. When faced with intriguing developments in the week’s news, we turn to a rotating panel of “non-experts” to parse The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly of it all.

This week, our panel weighs in on these stories:

• Chevron planning layoffs of 15-20 percent of its workforce by the end of 2026
• A man defying his own genetic predisposition and not developing Alzheimer’s
• A wildlife sanctuary helping spurned lovers get closure by feeding their exes' names to wolves

Our panel of non-experts this week includes:

• Jessica Brown, co-director of Station Theater
• Natalie Arceneaux, president of Arceneaux International Consulting
• Raúl Ramos, associate professor of history at the University of Houston
