Come along on this week's quest in the Science and research of power.

Searching for answers to questions such as: what is power, what are the origins of it, who gains it, ones gained, what does power does to us?

Some of those answers are grim,  which will bring us to the next set of questions, why is there so much misuse of power, why are power structures so sticky?

However, our quest through the dark forest of power will end on the field of hope, as we seek answers to questions such as how and what do you do to stay on the right side of power?

Enjoy!
