NASA has released photos from the James Webb Space Telescope from its first six months of observation and the incredible images show a range of deep space features including a nebula around a dying star, water vapor around an exoplanet, an area where new stars are born and a huge image of five galaxies where one of them is tearing a path through the cluster.  Purbita Saha, deputy editor at Popular Science, joins us for our first look at what the JWST can do.

 

Next, a new report from the CDC is showing that the pandemic fueled a surge in superbug infections and deaths.  Overall, there was a 15% increase mostly due to sicker patients, lack of staff and safety equipment and doctors overprescribing antibiotics.  Early on when doctors didn’t know how to treat Covid, they gave almost 80% of those hospitalized antibiotics even though they didn’t need them.  Lena Sun, health reporter at the Washington Post, joins us for more.

 

Finally, as many people continue to look for new jobs that provide the work/life balance they want, remember to look at the fine print.  Those remote jobs you may have your eye on, may not be as remote as you think.  Some jobs listed as remote still require new hires to come into the office part-time or even live nearby to attend occasional in-person meetings.  Lindsay Ellis, reporter at the WSJ, joins us for what to watch out for so you don’t waste your time.
