The NewsWorthy - Special Edition: Science of Giving Thanks + Gratitude Meditation

Gratitude may actually make you healthier. Studies cited by the American Heart Association have shown that people who regularly express gratitude tend to have lower blood pressure, sleep and eat better, and are better able to manage stress. 

Our first guest is University of Michigan psychology instructor and doctoral candidate, Christina Costa. She has focused her research on how feeling grateful is connected to overall well-being and resiliency. She uses practices from her own brain research to live with gratitude, despite having brain cancer.

Meditation is one way to marinate in feelings of gratitude. To help you unwind from what are often fun but chaotic holiday gatherings, we’re doing something a little different. My friend Katie Krimitsos is the founder of the Women’s Meditation Network and has created a 5-minute, beautiful guided meditation just for us.

More or Less: Behind the Stats - When do food shortages become a famine?

Somalia is experiencing its worst drought for 40 years and there are warnings that millions of people need food assistance urgently. The UN body tasked with classifying levels of food security has projected a famine, although no official declaration has yet been made. We ask what data is used to formally categorise famine and explore some of the difficulties in collecting it, with the help of UN IPC Global Programme Manager Jose Lopez and Professor Laura Hammond, Pro Director of Research & Knowledge Exchange at SOAS.

Consider This from NPR - Life Is Hard For Migrants On Both Sides Of The Border Between Africa And Europe

There are two tiny patches of Spain on the African continent. One is a city called Melilla that's surrounded by Morocco and the Mediterranean Sea.

The European Union has spent billions to keep migrants from sub-Saharan Africa from crossing the border between Morocco and the Spanish city.

This episode, we look at what that means for the people who make it through and for the city they arrive in.

This story is part of an NPR series on climate migration and the far-right.

In participating regions, you'll also hear a local news segment to help you make sense of what's going on in your community.

CrowdScience - How do we behave in crowds?

As someone who dislikes crowds, listener Graham is curious about them. Crowds gather in all sorts of places, from train stations and football matches, to religious events and protest marches. But is there a science behind how they move and behave? To find out, Anand Jagatia speaks to some actual crowd scientists.

He learns about the psychology of social identity, which influences everything from how close we stand to others to how we react in emergencies. He visits the Athens marathon, and hears about the algorithm that predicts how 50,000 runners will move through a city on race day. And he explores research into the science of riots, which explains why some peaceful crowds turn violent.
