Scientists at Memorial Sloan Kettering in New York City just released the results of a clinical trial on a pancreatic cancer vaccine. A live-action remake of The Little Mermaid hits theaters this week with the Black Princess Ariel, which good? It is very much giving the skin of diversity, but not the root of it.

This episode was produced by Avishay Artsy, edited by Matt Collette, fact-checked by Laura Bullard, engineered by Michael Raphael, and hosted by Sean Rameswaram.
