The program that brought Nazis to America - Brian Crim

Dig into Operation Paperclip, a secret intelligence program which brought scientists from Nazi Germany to the US after WWII. -- In May of 1945 the Third Reich was in chaos. Adolf Hitler was dead and German surrender was imminent. But while World War II was almost over, a new war was brewing. And the US was eager to recruit the smartest minds in Germany before the Soviets got the chance— regardless of their affiliation with the Nazis. This became known as Operation Paperclip. Brian Crim digs into the clandestine campaign. Lesson by Brian Crim, directed by Jeff Le Bars, JetPropulsion.space.

Watch Ferns Get Freaky | Deep Look

Look at the underside of a fern leaf. Those rows of orange clusters aren’t tiny insects; they’re spores waiting to be catapulted away. Once a spore lands, it grows into a tiny plant, from which fern sperm swim away, searching for an egg to fertilize. Think of *that* next time you’re hiking in the forest. Is There a Quick Fix for Ocean Acidification? : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PqFwRMgvMVY&list=PLnNZYWyBGJ1F8ofFm4H9UTrHxqU8zngK4&index=5 PBS EARTH MONTH PLAYLIST: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLnNZYWyBGJ1F8ofFm4H9UTrHxqU8zngK4 DEEP LOOK is an ultra-HD (4K) short video series created by KQED in San Francisco and presented by PBS Digital Studios. See the unseen at the very edge of our visible world. Explore big scientific mysteries by going incredibly small. --- Each of the clusters on the fern leaf is called a sorus. Within each sorus are wormlike structures called sporangia, which are filled with spores. If you look at a sporangium under a microscope, you see it has an outer ring filled with water. When the spores mature and it’s warm outside, that water starts to evaporate. The ring shrinks and bends back, making the sporangium crack open. Then the ring jerks forward, hurling out the spores. A single fern launches millions of spores. Each one grows into a tiny plant about as big as a pea, known as a gametophyte. But gametophytes aren’t baby ferns. Instead, their job is to make eggs and sperm in specialized organs. When it rains or the environment is moist, that’s when ferns mate: Fern sperm swim away on a film of water to find eggs to fertilize. The fertilized eggs then grow into ferns. ---So, do ferns have seeds? No, ferns don’t make seeds or flowers. ---+ Find a transcript on KQED Science: https://www.kqed.org/science/1992380/watch-ferns-get-freaky ---+ More great Deep Look episodes: The Secret Lives of Plants playlist: https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLdKlciEDdCQDqukAqdb99nhvMiJulSYxL&si=r6adLEy03FdHH7JK Busy Bees and Other Pollinators playlist: https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLdKlciEDdCQCfoI8E24mbuk259unmiwG9&si=RD3TIO2qtNXvUoog ---+ Shoutout! 🏆Congratulations🏆 to these ___ fans on our Deep Look Community Tab for correctly answering our GIF challenge! https://www.youtube.com/post/Ugkxk4ee1xCg-VW4zIarOoprTVaAaVYx-akS @hunterbrock3349 @lionparcelpalagan7515 @Ischemiaa @leprifacioncustard4921 @markembeck7099 ---+ Thank you to our top Patreon supporters ($10+ per month)!
