Everything Everywhere Daily - Fingerprints (Encore)

Located on the tips of our fingers are features known as friction ridges. We evolved them to get a better grip on objects. 

It just so happens that those friction ridges are unique to every person. 

That allows us to use friction ridges as unique identifiers and for authorities to use them to catch criminals, and in some ways, we have been doing so for centuries. 

Learn more about fingerprints and fingerprinting on this episode of Everything Everywhere Daily.

NPR's Book of the Day - Nancy Pelosi opens up about how she wields ‘The Art of Power’

Former Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi says her new book, The Art of Power, is not a memoir. Instead, she says, it's an inside look at specific moments in American history – like the 2008 financial crisis and January 6 – and how she navigated them. In today's episode, the Speaker Emerita sits down with NPR's Mary Louise Kelly to discuss why she didn't want to run for office in the first place, how she looks back on some of the biggest decisions she's made while in power, and what role she played in President Biden's decision to step down from the 2024 race.
