Sound Transit has big plans for the next several decades.

But big plans have big price tags that the agency hopes to split with the federal government.

The problem is, the federal government has stopped approving Capital Investment Grants since Trump took office.

We’ll get into what that means with former Sound Transit CEO and former Federal Transit Administration administrator Peter Rogoff.

Today we're bringing you a special episode of KUOW's newest podcast Pocket Science.

Pocket Science explores the weird and groundbreaking work scientists are doing right in our Pacific Northwest backyard.

This episode is about gene editting.

It’s a mystery scientists have cracked to stop genetic mutations and cure diseases.

But there remains a massive accessibility issue for most people.

For example, over a hundred people have been cured of sickle cell anemia, but over 8 million people still have it.

Pocket Science host Gabriel Spitzer takes us to a lab in Seattle trying to make gene editing less expensive and time consuming for the people who need it.

As a new mom, juggling new identities, Jenna Hanchard began to wonder, “how do I come home to myself?”

That question became a creative spark that eventually led to her new film, "To Dress a Wound." Hanchard spoke with KUOW's Jeannie Yandel about how her process began after the birth of her second child...with writing poetry.

You can see Jenna Hanchard’s film, "To Dress a Wound," at Northwest Film Forum on Capitol Hill September 23 and 26. It premieres with the Local Sightings Film Festival, which features films and filmmakers from the Pacific Northwest.

Jenna will be at the September 23 screening for a Q&A.
