As the United States approaches its 250th birthday, the tethers that bind it to the principles of democracy, enshrined in the Constitution by its founders, are being tested in unprecedented fashion. President Donald Trump, wielding power in a manner “like no one has ever seen” as the president likes to say, is riding roughshod over the tenets that have come to define the nation.

Dr. Dustin Hines, professor of neuroscience at University of Nevada, Las Vegas (UNLV), US, and study co-author Rochelle Hines, professor of psychology, discuss a breakthrough in seizure therapy using compounds derived from caraway seeds. By altering the shape of the seed’s main chemical component, researchers created a new class of THC-free “CBD-like” therapies that showed seizure-reducing effects and promoted healthier brain cell development in preclinical trials, potentially offering safer alternatives to current drug-resistant therapies.

Kissing, for all popularity, is a bit of a mystery. Scientists have long debated when humans’ ancestors first put their lips together, and whether the act is simply a cultural trait. A new study suggests giving someone a peck has a long history, dating up to around 21 million years ago, long before modern humans existed. The work was published in the journal Evolution and Human Behavior on November 19.

UNLV political science professor, Dr. Rebecca Gill talks with us on ARC Las Vegas about the developments to get the Epstein files released and the process to get something like this passed.

The House and Senate have voted to release the Jeffrey Epstein files, though not all documents will be made public. Dr. Michael Green, chair of the history department at UNLV, explained that an ongoing investigation into Epstein and his crimes is the reason for the limited release.

When John F. Miller was building a hotel in Las Vegas, a local paper reported he was sparing no expense. The rooms were large, well-lit and ventilated, and electric lights and a telephone system were being installed. All told, the hotel would be a “credit to Las Vegas and as comfortable a hostelry as can be found anywhere,” the Las Vegas Age declared in 1906.

Who is Santa Claus and what's his origin story? Why do we decorate a pine tree with lights? What is Yule and why does it have a log? When did gift-giving become a thing for Christmas?
