How much do we know about the health of North Korean leader Kim Jong-un, and the line of succession if his condition takes a turn for the worse? Sung-Yoon Lee, professor of Korean Studies at Tufts University, weighs in.
Then, John Mighton, founder of JUMP Math, has some tips for teaching kids math at home — both for parents and kids themselves.
Then, researchers are exploring antibody testing for COVID-19, in the hopes it could reveal who has developed immunity, and might allow an easing of restrictions. We talk to Dr. Aenor Sawyer, who’s helping to test the entire town of Bolinas, Calif.
Plus, if you thought doing your office job from home was tricky, imagine piloting a robot about 93 million miles away — from your living room. We hear about NASA engineers doing just that with the Mars Curiosity rover.
And finally, it's hard to sum up just how big a deal the Calgary Stampede is, and how much its cancellation this summer will hurt. George Brookman explains what it will mean for a city and province already facing tough economic times.
