👁The rise and fall of the Maya Empire’s most powerful city
🧠Geoffrey E. Braswell
🗣Subtitle: 🇬🇧English | 🇹🇷Turkish

👣During the 8th century CE, warfare and failing agriculture forced Maya people to move north, to hotter, drier Yucatán. Because of its freshwater access, Chichen Itza became the most powerful Maya city, with nearly 50,000 citizens at its height. But the region presented its own challenges and the city's golden age wouldn’t last forever. Geoffrey E. Braswell traces the city's rise and fall. [Directed by Hernando Bahamon, Globizco Studios, narrated by Adrian Dannatt, music by Manuel Borda].

🧠 TED-Ed
🗣Subtitle: 🇬🇧English

👣Many people would say the connection between happiness and gratefulness is very simple: when you are happy, you are grateful. But think again. Is it really the happy people that are grateful? Quite a number of people have everything that it would take to be happy, and they are not happy. So, how does gratefulness work? David-Steindl Rast shares the keys to living gratefully. [Directed by Avi Ofer, narrated by Adrian Dannatt and David Steindl-Rast, music by Stephen LaRosa].

👁The US has a teacher shortage — here's how to fix it
🧠Randy Seriguchi Jr.
🗣Subtitle: 🇬🇧English

👣How much should we invest in teachers, and what should new investment actually involve? Education innovator Randy Seriguchi Jr. suggests the US should create a "G.I. Bill" for teachers, with a particular emphasis on uplifting Black male professionals. He shares a model of this idea in action through community partnerships in San Francisco, which provide aspiring teachers with graduate school tuition, subsidized housing, personalized fit assessments and more. "If we truly want to elevate this profession to inspire new, diverse talent to join us, we have to improve both the personal and professional experiences associated with teaching," says Seriguchi.

👁 If you're an adult mayfly you'll probably die before the end of this video
🧠Luke M. Jacobus
🗣Subtitle: 🇬🇧English | 🇹🇷Turkish

👣For most of the world’s 4,000 mayfly species, adulthood lasts roughly one day. And for some species, it’s only a matter of minutes. This isn’t because they’re all eaten up by predators. Rather, this abridged adulthood is a natural part of their life cycle. So, what role do these bugs play in their ecosystems? Luke M. Jacobus explores the stunningly short life span of the winged insects. [Directed by Denys Spolitak, narrated by Addison Anderson, music by Jarrett Farkas].

👁How aerosols brighten clouds — and cool the planet
🧠Sarah J. Doherty
🗣Subtitle: 🇬🇧English

👣Here's a conundrum: the same aerosol pollutants that harm human health also help cool the climate, says atmospheric scientist Sarah J. Doherty. Is there a way to clean up the air without warming the planet? Exploring the unintended consequences of reducing air pollution, she makes the case for a better understanding of marine cloud brightening — or intentionally adding sea salt aerosols to clouds over the ocean, which could reflect sunlight back into space and potentially reduce global warming.

🧠Andrew Yang
🗣Subtitle: 🇬🇧English

👣The electoral system in the United States needs a redesign, says political reformer Andrew Yang. Exposing the flaws of a system built on poor incentives, he proposes a cost-effective overhaul inspired by primary elections already working in places like Alaska and advocates for ranked-choice voting, where voters can choose candidates in order of preference regardless of party, stemming the influence of extreme ideologies.

👁Scientists are obsessed with this lake
🧠Nicola Storelli and Daniele Zanzi
🗣Subtitle: 🇬🇧English | 🇹🇷Turkish

👣In the millions of years since oxygen began saturating Earth’s oceans and atmosphere, most organisms have evolved to rely on this gas. However, there are some places where oxygen-averse microorganisms like those from Earth’s earliest days have re-emerged. And one such place is hidden high in the Swiss Alp’s Piora Valley. Nicola Storelli and Daniele Zanzi dive into the depths of Lake Cadagno. [Directed by Ivana Volda, Thomas Johnson Volda, narrated by Addison Anderson, music by Stephen LaRosa].

👁 What happened when these 6 dictators took over
🧠Stephanie Honchell Smith
🗣Subtitle: 🇬🇧English

👣Under certain conditions, the idea of a dictator can sound appealing, like when a democracy isn’t functioning as it should due to corruption or political polarization. People may believe the solution is a "benevolent dictator"— a leader who only uses their absolute power for the common good. But can such a leader actually exist in today’s world? Stephanie Honchell Smith examines this common myth. [Directed by Avi Ofer, narrated by Addison Anderson, music by André Aires].

👣A couple has been considering getting engaged, but they’re worried about divorce statistics. An AI-based model was just released that can predict your likelihood of divorce with 95% accuracy.

👁The good news you might have missed
🧠Angus Hervey
🗣Subtitle: 🇬🇧English

👣Whether or not you believe the world is doomed might depend on where you get your news, says journalist Angus Hervey. He delivers stories of progress that mainstream media organizations missed last year — from advances in clean energy to declining rates of extreme poverty, crime and disease — and suggests we should pay more attention to such occurrences. "If we want more people to devote themselves to the task of making progress, then maybe we should be telling more people that it's possible to make progress," says Hervey.
