5 Documentaries To Watch If You Love Science

Earth

For all my science nerds out there, here's a list of five of my favorite science documentaries and where to find them! As a science major, I can forget that it can get very confusing for the public if they haven't been introduced to the information before, so here are some of my favorites that I think anyone can enjoy and become informed. Science is amazing and should be more embraced by our government. The more informed we all get, the better our policy making becomes and the more informed the public is, the less politicians can sneak around! I hope you enjoy these as much as I do!

1. Before the Flood , 2016.

Leonardo DiCaprio travels around the world to see how climate change is affecting other parts of the world. He speaks with world leaders and learns about efforts being taken in China and India, speaks to Elon Musk, and President Obama. Great for anyone in or out of the science field, looking for some awesome information! You can visit this link to take action! You can watch this on Hulu or National Geographic's website.

2. Particle Fever , 2013.

This documentary goes into the physics of the big bang, without breaking your brain! The documentary follows six scientists who try to further understand the big bang and how they found the ever so famous Higgs boson particle. You can watch this documentary on Netflix.

3. Planet Earth, 2007.

This is one of my favorite documentaries. Narrated by David Attenborough (that one British guy you've all heard in high school science class). This BBC documentary explores how different organisms survive and adapt in nature. This documentary shows some of the most extraordinary camera work when capturing our Home. This 11 episode series can be found on Netflix.

4. The Stand at Standing Rock, 2016.

This short 8-minute documentary was released early this November to shed light on the DAPL pipeline fight that has been going on the past 9 months. The film also describes difficulties the Native Americans face in this country and is extremely eye opening. You can watch this film right here, courtesy of the Standing Rock Sioux Tribe's Facebook page.

5. Terra, 2015.

This documentary explores how the human race has become isolated from nature and how we are eradicating species and becoming more and more selfish with our resources, taking from the other species on earth. This documentary is aesthetically pleasing and quite interesting. You can find this documentary on Netflix.

Humans and robots face off in a rock band battle with guitars and drums, under dynamic lighting.

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.

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.

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.
