Summary

Science commentator Laurie Winkless discusses three recent scientific studies: (1) research on how starfish arms can guide and focus light, (2) a Cambridge study on how cells quickly respond to pathogens by forming a membrane around them and sending them to the cell's "recycling bin," and (3) astrophysicists' first observation of wind created by a black hole, based on five years of data compilation and analysis.
