Ichthyosaur Research Unlocks the Secrets of the Earth's Environmental Phenomena - Up Close Interview with Paleobiologist Ryosuke Motani

Research in paleontology has been making remarkable developments in the recent years. The research on ichthyosaurs, the creature that dominated the sea during the dinosaur era, is especially making rapid progress. Ichthyosaurs are reptiles that moved their habitats into the sea 248 million years ago and evolved into fish-like creatures. At the forefront of its research is Dr. Ryosuke Motani from the University of California, Davis. He has joined up with the Peking University to form an ichthyosaur excavation team, bringing results from the newly found fossils in China. This episode is based on an up close interview with the paleobiologist Dr. Ryosuke Motani to learn about his methods of solving the mysteries behind the evolution of ichthyosaurs.

Mama June: From Not to Hot

Mama June: From Not to Hot is all about Mama June's dramatic transformation. "I'm a mama, a grandmama, and a BIG reality star — and now I'm ready for a BIG change," Mama June narrates as we see her strike various poses. But she's not just talking about physical changes, she's revamping her entire life! "It's time to say goodbye to bad men and junk food," Mama June says before adding that fans (and haters) can all "[say] hello to a whole new me, because when they see what I look like now, they're not going to believe their eyes!" At this point we see a string of text that I assume are all things that went into Mama June's dramatic makeover. Included in the list are weight loss surgery, physical therapy, liquid diet, tummy tuck, gastric sleeve, strength training, breast implants, high intensity training, and laser teeth whitening.
