Vaping devices have been linked to more than two thousand 500 hospitalizations and dozens of deaths in the united states alone. Vaping's worst health effects seem to be linked to a compound called vitamene acetate, which can be added to vaping liquid. But how the adative damages the lungs is unclear. A team of researchers has devised a way to try to understand its effects by inhaling it from a table top device. Some sea slugs might be more fertile when the sun shines thanks to actively photo symphasizing organels taken from seaweed saco glossins. And later on, flora graham will be joining us to discuss the winners of this year's science nobell
AI weather forecasters, mapping the human brain and the 2021 science Nobel prizes.

00:52 Improving the accuracy of weather forecasts with AI
Short-term rain predictions are a significant challenge for meteorologists. Now, a team of researchers have come up with an artificial-intelligence based system that weather forecasters preferred to other prediction methods.
A group of researchers are undertaking an enormous task: to make a cellular atlas of the entire brain. This week, they publish a suite of papers that has accomplished this feat for one part of the brain — the motor cortex.
