500 years of the soccer cleat, a world-first burn treatment, and green hydrogen in California

Every player at this year's World Cup is wearing the end result of 500 years of iteration on a single piece of equipment. It started with factory workers hammering hardware store nails into their boots for traction on wet British turf. Ten solutions this week with Arielle and Karissa: the world's first exome therapy for burn patients, a California canal that generates electricity while cutting water evaporation by 70 percent, a copper compound that goes after Alzheimer's in a completely novel way, and what will truly help you when you feel… "off." Special shout-out to Karissa's friend Amy! (Listen to this episode to find out why.)
