KimHOST
She said, "It felt authentic to me as a lifelong Swiftie to honor Taylor in this way, as well as bring attention to the diversity of insects that has yet to be discovered." Still to come, the little known yet remarkable acts of courage and kindness that shone through the darkness of September 2001.

Amy ArthurNARRATOR
According to the psychologist Kate Sweeney and her colleagues at the University of California, Riverside, impatience is not a fixed facet of who we are.
Amy ArthurNARRATOR
Instead, it's an emotion, and patience is the process by which we manage it.
Amy ArthurNARRATOR
While this isn't a novel theory, Sweeney's team tested it recently with promising results.

Amy KingPANELIST
So they're using methodology that identifies where stress has been building along major faults so scientists can determine where a rupture will occur.
Amy KingPANELIST
take place they look at subduction zones which is where one tectonic plate slides beneath another the most powerful earthquakes tend to take place in these zones those are the ones that measure 8.5 or greater and typically cause tsunamis so they may be able to determine where the ruptures might happen but they still can't predict when
