5 Science Documentaries To Geek Out On During Winter Break

Since it is winter break and there is free time up the wazoo, its time to snuggle up on the couch and get your nerd on. I love a good documentary about pretty much anything, but the science ones are definitely my favorite. Here are 5 that are available on Netflix that you can watch today!

1. My Beautiful Broken Brain

This is perfect for anyone interested in health related sciences. It takes a look at a woman who suffered a stroke at a relatively young age and all of trials and tribulations she faced on her road to recovery.

2. More Than Honey

This documentary takes a look at why honey bees are disappearing worldwide and the damaging effects it will have on our planet.

3. The Beginning & End of Our Universe

Ever wonder how our universe came to be? Watch this 2 episode series to learn about how it all got started and perhaps how it might end....

4. The Beginning Of Life

Anyone who plans to work with children, have children, or just thinks babies are cute should check this one out. Learn how not only children learn in the first years of life, but also how it will effect the world for generations to come.

5. Life

This series is pretty interesting, it has a total of 10 episodes that focus on different creatures here on Earth. So even if you aren't super interested in the "Insects" episode you can still check out the "Reptiles and Amphibians" one!

In an age where artificial intelligence can mimic the voice of Freddie Mercury or reimagine pop hits as synthwave ballads, a new frontier has emerged — one that blurs the line between innovation and erosion. While AI offers undeniable benefits in technical domains, its intrusion into creative arts, especially music, raises urgent questions. Not just about copyright, but about culture, education, and the very soul of artistic expression.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

We are all more than just one sign.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

The Importance Of Being A Good Person

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
