I ett avlägset regnskogsområde i Brasilien har en grupp yanomami-indianer begravt tusentals blodprover som togs av amerikanska forskare på 1960-talet. Forskarna hade lovat stammen att de tog blodproverna för att lära sig mer om sjukdomar bland ursprungsbefolkning.

For those in the northern hemisphere, summer is rapidly approaching, especially for those with kids. Camps, educational programs, and other activities are enrolling now, in advance of the long summer vacation. (Particularly long for Americans!) Aside from conventional sleepaway options for kids, there are science and technology courses, space camps, survival adventures, and more.

How much does it cost?)
