  • What Bad Bunny means to Puerto Ricans

    This summer, the island of Puerto Rico was under the thrall of Bad Bunny. His 31-concert residency at a stadium in San Juan was a homecoming for the global superstar.



    It's also a homecoming for many thousands of people who left home – but are flocking back for the shows.

    NPR’s Adrian Florido reports on how the concerts resonated with Puerto Ricans on and off the island.

  • U.S. foreign aid changed in 2025 – and it was felt around the world

    On the night of his inauguration, President Trump signed an executive order that froze almost all international assistance.


    What followed was the termination of billions of dollars in aid programs — and the dismantling of the U-S Agency for International Development. Now, the future of U.S. foreign assistance looks very different.

    NPR global health correspondents Fatma Tanis and Gabrielle Emanuel have been following this all year and break down the impact of this move both on the ground and for the U.S.

  • Science funding was hit in 2025. What does that mean for the future?
    2025 was a hard year for science. The Trump administration upended federal funding for all kinds of scientific pursuits, slashing budgets across agencies like NASA, NIH and NOAA. 


    NPR's Rob Stein and Katia Riddle spoke to scientists and officials who worry that those cuts could cause the United States to lose its competitive edge as a global hub for research and innovation, and steer future generations away from careers in science.
