  • Noami Osaka & Rapper Lil loaded #52
    Naomi Osaka said she was withdrawing from the French Open on Monday, one day after tennis officials threatened to suspend her and fined her $15,000 over her decision not to do media interviews during the tournament to prioritize her mental health.
    In a statement on Monday, Osaka also said that she "suffered long bouts of depression" since being catapulted into the national spotlight after a controversial victory over Serena Williams in the U.S. Open of 2018.
    "The best thing for the tournament, the other players and my well-being is that I withdraw so that everyone can get back to focusing on the tennis going on in Paris," she said in a statement. "I never wanted to be a distraction and accept that my timing was not ideal and my message could have been clearer."

  • Anti-protest bills backlash #50
    Republican legislators in several states have introduced at least 80 anti-protest bills restricting everything from “unreasonable noise” to wearing a mask during demonstrations in what some are calling a backlash to last year’s summer of protests.
    The killing of George Floyd last May 25 sparked demonstrations across the country and amplified national attention to racism in police practices. Media outlets deemed it the “year of protests.” Now, there have been twice as many proposals to quell demonstrations in 2021's legislative sessions than in any other year, Elly Page, senior legal adviser at the International Center for Not-for-Profit Law, which tracks anti-protest legislation, told The New York Times.
    “The reason so many protests exist in the first place, whether it’s the civil rights era or Black Lives Matter, is that they are trying to change things about our society and our political system that are fundamentally broken,” said Matthew Delmont, a history professor at Dartmouth College. “It’s important to understand that the anti-protest bills we’re seeing right now are an attempt to maintain the status quo and prevent more significant change that would lead to more equitable systems.”

  • Mother of Ronald Greene #49
    The mother of Ronald Greene, a barber who died after a violent confrontation with Louisiana State Police, said Saturday that the release of body camera video of her son's arrest has left her "hurting so bad."
    The Associated Press on Wednesday published edited body camera footage from Greene's arrest on May 10, 2019, following a pursuit that may have started with Greene driving erratically, including allegedly running a red light, according to audio from the video.
    Louisiana State Police Supt. Lamar A. Davis on Friday officially released nine body camera and dash camera videos of Greene's arrest outside Monroe, Louisiana.
    Mona Hardin, the mother of Greene, 49, said in an interview Saturday with NBC News that seeing the video was painful. Before this week's public release of video, she had viewed some body camera footage "in a very controlled environment," said her attorney, Lee Merritt.

  • Missing Teenagers: Alicia Navarro & Aaliyah Ramirez #47
    For Jessica Nuñez, the last six months have been a nightmare. Her teenage daughter, Alicia Navarro, disappeared from their home in Glendale, Arizona on September 15, 2019. Now, as the coronavirus spreads at a rapid pace across the world, Jessica said she is even more terrified for her daughter’s safety.
    “We just need to find her. And I need to know that she is safe,” Jessica said tearfully. “My girl is out there alone, without me, and now this virus… it’s horrible. I just need her back home.”
    Jessica said she is especially worried because her daughter is on the autism spectrum and is known to be shy or anxious in some social situations. She takes medicine and has a compromised immune system. Jessica is worried Alicia’s anxiety will also overwhelm her with the current situation.
    If you have any information on Alicia’s whereabouts, call Glendale Police at 623-930-3000 - If you have any information on Aaliyah’s whereabouts, contact the Syracuse Police Department at 574-267-5667.

  • forgotten history of the first Trans Clinic #46
    The first gender affirmation surgeries took place in 1920s, at a facility which employed transgender technicians and nurses, and which was headed by a gay Jewish man. The forgotten history of the institute, and its fall to Nazis bent on the euthanasia of homosexuals and transgender people, offers us both hope—and a cautionary tale—in the face of oppressive anti-trans legislation in the United States.
    This story begins late one night in Berlin, on the cusp of the 20th century. Magnus Hirschfeld, a young doctor recently finished with his military service, found a German soldier on his doorstep. Distraught and agitated, the young man had come to confess himself an urning, a word used in Germany to refer to homosexual men. It explained the cover of darkness; to speak of such things was dangerous business. The infamous “Paragraph 175” in the German criminal code made homosexuality illegal; a man so accused could be stripped of his ranks and titles and imprisoned.

  • Margaretta Hare Morris: The Woman who solved a cicada Mystery #45
    This spring, the 17-year cicadas of Brood X will emerge from underground, climb tree trunks and molt, leaving their crunchy shells behind. Soon after, the males will join together in a droning chorus to the delight (or consternation) of their human neighbors. 
    Those with a keen ear might detect that there are several buzzy songs occurring at once. This is not because the cicadas have a large repertoire. Rather, there are few different cicada species, including the Magicicada septendecim and the Magicicada cassini, each with a different tune.
    In the early 19th century this was still a mystery, but the entomologist Margaretta Hare Morris had suspicions. Ever since she had been a teenager, she had carefully observed the emergence of cicadas. She had heard the different cicada songs in 1817 and again 1834. It was in 1846, though, when she was 49, that Morris felt confident enough to announce that she had discovered a new species. Follow us on Instagram @s3podcast_ & @s3s3productions

  • First Genetically modified mosquitos #44
    This week, mosquito eggs placed in the Florida Keys are expected to hatch tens of thousands of genetically modified mosquitoes, a result of the first U.S. release of such insects in the wild. A biotechnology firm called Oxitec delivered the eggs in late April as part of a federally approved experiment to study the use of genetic engineering—rather than insecticides—to control disease-carrying mosquito populations. The move targets an invasive species, called Aedes aegypti, that carries Zika, dengue, chikungunya, yellow fever and other potentially deadly diseases, some of which are on the rise in Florida.
    The experiment relies on a genetic alteration that will be lethal to a large number of future offspring. In this case, male mosquitoes have been modified to carry a gene that makes their female progeny dependent on the antibiotic tetracycline—and thus fated to die in the wild. As the mating cycle repeats over generations, female numbers are depleted, and the population is suppressed. The modified insects eventually die off, making this approach self-limiting
    Oxitec overcame significant regulatory hurdles before getting the go-ahead from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration in 2016 and then the Environmental Protection Agency in 2020. If the current pilot effort is successful, the firm is set to release as many as 20 million more males in the prime of Florida’s mosquito season later this year. The results of the experiment could ultimately help address concerns about releasing genetically modified organisms into the wild.

  • Ellen DeGeneres, Viral Vaccine Infertility Misinformation & two boys , aged 11 and 17 #43
    Though she's just set an end date for her long-running daytime talk show, comedian Ellen DeGeneres considers it the most important thing she's ever done — but she nearly said goodbye to it years earlier.
    She first considered doing so after season 16, which began in 2018. "There was a different president, and it was a different time, and there was a lot of just, hatred and anger and stuff, that I was just like, 'This is it,'" DeGeneres said in an exclusive interview with "TODAY" show co-anchor Savannah Guthrie that aired Thursday
