We find out how a painter scooped a scientist in a major discovery about perception, and figure out why a stop sign has eight sides. And Kurt Andersen talks with radio producer David Isay about the art of preservation, with stories about rescuing sacred music and restoring modern sculpture made out of some unusual materials.
Every day, reporters and producers at The World are hard at work bringing you human-centered news from across the globe. But we can’t do it without you. We need your support to ensure we can continue this work for another year.
