The Batmobile Lab That Chases Storms

Meteorologist and storm chaser Dr. Reed Timmer doesn’t just study extreme weather, he drives straight into it with a custom build, storm proof vehicle. Host Dr. Samanthat Yammine talks with him about the science of surviving the planet’s increasingly volatile storms, the data he’s able to collect up close, and what it takes to study a storm system from the inside. Watch him put science to the test on Discovery’s In the Eye of the Storm on HBOMax.

Then, meet Ice XXI: a form of ice that researchers were able to create at room temperature that might just tell us more about how ice is formed in space. After that, Sam explores a groundbreaking new study that shows how mRNA COVID-19 vaccines have the potential to extend the lives of certain cancer patients.
