Dr. Yoel Fink, a materials scientist at MIT, brings us into his lab to explain how he makes high-tech, small-sized acoustic fibers. Also, we will hear about preliminary work to create a cool new tuberculosis vaccine.

On the 50th anniversary of Dr. Jane Goodall's first observations of chimpanzees in the wild, learn about new data that have led scientists to think about why chimpanzees fight and even kill. Then, hear about Massachusetts researchers who have been able to grow and transplant functioning lungs into rats.
