President Donald Trump said it loud and clear during his executive order on Dec. 18 to reschedule cannabis: He’s never been inundated by “so many people” on a particular issue. The move directing U.S. Attorney General Pamela Bondi to reclassify cannabis from Schedule I to Schedule III is not a small detail lost on just about anyone connected to the industry. Loosening restrictions on the plant through lowering its potential for abuse and finally recognizing its medicinal value breaks ties with 55 years of precedence under the Controlled Substances Act.

A study on Ozempic’s impacts on Alzheimer’s disease didn’t have the results scientists hoped for. We talk to UNLV’s Dr. Jeffrey Cummings on the research and what’s next. Also from UNLV: a look at how a “new” species of an ancient human ancestor can help shape our view on evolution. We end with a fun story on “Silver Belle”... the first tree from Nevada to serve as the U.S. Capitol Christmas Tree!

It's as much of a tradition as stockings, trees and gifts. Movies are a staple of the holiday season too! On ARC Las Vegas we talked with Adam Paul, assistant professor of film at UNLV, about what makes these iconic moments in cinema so special for families that keep people coming back to watch them time and time again.
Christmas trees might seem timeless today, but American decorating habits have shifted dramatically over the decades. Long before tinsel, flocking or LED lights, winter greenery carried deep symbolic meaning.
Dr. Rebecca Gill, a political science professor at UNLV, talks with us on ARC Las Vegas about the takeaways from President Trump's December 17th primetime speech and how it compares with other historical addresses.
The holiday season is upon us, and shoppers are in the homestretch of their search for gifts. But what role will the economy, dynamic pricing, and shrinkflation play in consumers’ ability — or even interest — to cross items off their wish lists?
