Can you imagine living through more than 500 aftershocks after a strong earthquake? 

That was what rocked Taiwan over the past week or so, following a 7.4 magnitude quake that hit Hualien earlier this month - the strongest to hit the region in a quarter-century.

But some are worried that this earthquake is not the biggest event in this sequence. Is that a possibility that can be ruled out at this point?

On episode of Breakfast Special, Yin Yifan, Seismologist & Postdoctoral Fellow, MIT Department of Earth, Atmospheric and Planetary Sciences weighs in.

Breakfast Special: Is Taiwan's earthquake the largest in its sequence?

US security officials are bracing for an onslaught of fast-paced influence operations from a wide range of adversaries, aimed at impacting the country’s coming presidential election.

As the rapid uptake and development of generative AI tools take speed, will it be the next political game changer for the US - the world’s largest economy, as Americans head to the polls later in November?

On this episode of Morning Shot, Bryan DeAngelis, Partner & Head of Washington Office, Penta Group shares his expert analysis. Bryan previously served as communications director and chief spokesperson for Senator Chris Dodd. He also served as a communications staffer for both Hillary Clinton’s and Senator Dodd’s 2008 presidential campaigns.

Morning Shot: Will AI be the next political game changer for the US?

It's International Jazz Day, but there's never a time where we can't celebrate this wonderful, soothing music genre.

Legends like Ella Fitzgerald, Miles Davis, John Coltrane and countless others introduced the world to the wonders of jazz, and its only right that we give back through our appreciation of these talented artists. 

Emaad and Audrey discuss the origins of the word "Jazz," how jazz musicians “turn off” a part of their brains during improvisation, their use of non-verbal cues to communicate on stage, and some renowned clubs in Singapore where you can get your jazz fix!
