hello hello and welcome to the show I'm
Coy wire this is CNN 10 your 10 minutes
of news for this Thursday March 6th
happy Friday Eve we are going to start
today with an inspiring story about a
tech Trailblazer and inventor one of the
many figures we're highlighting this
month women's History Month it's a
national celebr ation that has been
honoring historic figures in some form
of fashion since a congressional act in
1981 today we are featuring someone you
may not have heard of but there is a
strong chance you are very familiar with
some of the technology she's helped to
create Lisa gapter helped create the GIF
GIF stands for graphics interchange
format it's a type of image file format
that often contains a short looping
animated video most often used on social
media you've probably seen or used some
of these popular ones Homer Simpson uhoh
I'm just going to stay out of this one
or Shaq oh yeah very excited or how
about Kermit the Frog oh my goodness
gifs have become a part of the fabric of
everyday communication they sometimes
say it all expressing a thought or
reaction without a single word needing
to be said as an engineer for the
earliest interactive multimedia platform
Shockwave gapter played a key role in
developing the anime used to create gifs
and her impact doesn't stop there she's
held leadership roles at bet and Hulu
and even served as Chief digital service
officer for the US Department of
Education gapter is a strong advocate
for women's rights using her platform as
the CEO and co-founder of tech quitable
to raise awareness about the importance
of gender equality and fairness in the
tech industry to some news now about us
Politics on Tuesday night president
Donald Trump delivered his first address
to Congress since returning to the White
House the president used the speech to
highlight some of the rapid changes his
administration has made 43 days after
being sworn into office and he used the
moment to further make his case for his
administration's policies to the
American public issue number one in the
president's speech and on the minds of
many Americans the economy president
Trump doubled down on his tariff agenda
which went into effect this week the
increased taxes on America's closest
trading partners like Canada and China
have sent stocks sinking and sent
businesses scrambling to adjust to
higher pricing for materials and
Manufacturing as many of the opponents
of this agenda had predicted in the
coming days we will likely begin to see
how these new tariffs might affect
consumer confidence and possibly
consumer's wallets as is custom after a
presidential address to Congress a
member of the opposite party delivered a
rebuttal speech this year the youngest
Democratic woman elected to the Senate
freshman Senator Alysa slotkin of
Michigan delivered the party's response
questioning the president's assertions
and asking the public to continue to
hold their representatives
accountable Pop Quiz hot shot in what
geologic epic did the woolly mammoth
begin to roam the Earth mayia Scene Epic
Pine Pline or holine
your answer here is place to Scene Epic
often referred to as the Ice Age it was
a period that began 2.6 million years
ago mammoths and saber-tooth tigers were
found on multiple continents don't call
it a comeback I've been here for years a
line for all the old school LL Cool J
fans out there and maybe what woolly
mammoth would say if they could talk
these beasts that stood about 10 to 12
feet high according to scientists became
extinct around 4,000 years ago but a
biotech company is on a mission to
resurrect the extinct Behemoth they want
to reintroduce the woolly mammoth in the
next three years but they decided to
start small so small that the team
genetically modified mice to give them
several wooly mammoth likee traits like
long shaggy hair if their mission
eventually succeeds scientists do
caution that the result won't be a true
Mammoth but a new hybrid animal arcadey
hunt explains the science behind the
Dallas based team's experiments with
Mammoth DNA variants and after you watch
this piece take some time think about
how you feel about this talk about it
resurrecting so to speak extinct species
is it right is it wrong what good or bad
could come from this if it becomes a
thing I mean I thought the mice look
super cute and I knew that I would be
seeing pictures of them all around the
world my name is Katie hun I'm a science
writer um at CNN I wrote about a company
um that has created some mice that look
a tiny bit like a woolly mammoth so the
big picture this company colossal
biosciences um they want to bring back
the woolly mammoth from Extinction
although it should safe to say that
they're still many years from achieving
anything approximating a mammoth the
mice have longer fur they have lighter
fur it's a blonde color rather than a
brown color they also have curly
whiskers scientists say that technically
it is quite an achievement to be able to
make multiple Gene edits at once in this
way and alter several different traits
involving several different
genes um and it's certainly true that
while mice are used in labs around the
world they probably haven't been used in
this way before to model the traits of
an extinct animal
but many people say that bringing back
the woly mammoth which is what this
company wants to do is not really
possible many people are skeptical about
this project
one scientist I spoke to said it was
frustrating that they managed to
engineer these traits but they hadn't
really tested whether these mice do cope
better in colder temperatures and it's
also an Endeavor that is possibly you
know
ethically um challenging and
dubious now to a story that proves it is
never too late to make your dreams come
true in France Texas native and former
teacher Janice dewester decided to make
a life-changing decision at the age of
70 to move from the US to France years
later the retiree is not looking back
she's using her own YouTube channel to
encourage everyone to make their dreams
come true young or old check out what
Miss dear Wester thinks of her move and
her new home southeast of
Paris the reason for my YouTube channel
it wasn't necessarily to promote France
it wasn't necessarily that they had to
come to France it was to do something
that they wouldn't regret whatever you
want to do make a move and make it
happen you know I was I had just come
home from working and I just kind of
laid there and I really remember when
this this song came out I thought well
that's the most depressing thing I've
ever heard in my life and I think it's
by Peggy Lee and it's like is this all
there
is is that all that
is and all of a sudden I thought is this
all there is I retired now I need to do
something else and that's when I decided
to move to France B I wanted to talk to
you just for a little bit and I happen
to be in fonton blue in the Diana
Gardens I am so happy I look out my
window sometimes and I've been here 3
years and I still just think wow I'm in
France I did not know that I could be
this happy I have never had anyone
anyone that has been rude to me now
there are certain times you know there
are things that have happened since I've
been here of course like it does every
day it is not Utopia and a lot of times
I told my audience I don't want to give
you rainbows lollipops and unicorns it's
difficult here I still don't have a visa
after two years but I wouldn't give it
up for anything in the world
