A science writer talks with us about the ways humans and animals have migrated throughout history, due to changing climates and social scenarios. She argues for a fundamental change in the way we view migration. We also find out what’s behind several weeks of hot and humid weather. And we talk to a reporter about a new ICE rule that could bar international students from returning to –or, remaining in–the U.S. if their college moves courses online for the fall semester.
