Earthquakes, Eclipses, and Camera Glasses
Sam and Leah follow the evidence: an earthquake in Colombia, a total solar eclipse, health workers tracing an Ebola outbreak, Robert Gilman’s return from Russia, and a privacy complaint about camera glasses in Germany. Along the way, they ask why early reports change, how predictions work, and what makes recording clear and fair.
