• 5:01
  This groundbreaking research, led by Torajum Biopharma, targets individuals suffering from
• 5:07
  congenital anedontia, a condition where some or all teeth are missing from birth.
• 5:14
  Initially focusing on ensuring the treatment's safety in adults missing teeth, the trial
• 5:19
  aims to expand to younger patients.
• 5:22
  This innovative approach has shown promise in animal studies and could revolutionize
• 5:27
  dental care by providing a viable alternative to implants and dentures.
• 5:33
  In business news, several key players saw significant movements in the stock market
• 5:39
  yesterday.
• 5:41
  Berkshire Hathaway enjoyed a 1% increase after reporting a 39% rise in first quarter operating
• 5:48
  profit, reaching a record of over $11 billion.
• 5:53
  This surge was propelled by its robust property and casualty insurance business and heightened
• 5:58
  investment income.
• 6:00
  However, Berkshire also reduced its stake in Apple by about 13%, leading to a slight
• 6:06
  dip in Apple's stock by 1%, despite a strong earnings report last week.
• 6:12
  Microtechnology saw a notable 5% increase after an upgrade from Baird, while Tesla's
• 6:18
  stock rose by 2% following the announcement of a new long-range model A.
• 6:24
  On the downside, Tyson Foods and Spirit Airlines experienced declines due to disappointing
• 6:30
  sales and financial results.
• 6:33
  Robinhood Markets faced a drop after receiving a Wells Notice from the SEC regarding its
• 6:39

  tell them Sunny Morning sent you by.
• 7:52
  And now back to the show.
• 7:55
  Let's talk science.
• 7:57
  A recent study has highlighted another potential threat to bumblebees, rising global temperatures.
• 8:04
  Researchers found that bumblebees, which thrive at nest temperatures between 82 and 90 degrees,
• 8:10
  struggle to survive when temperatures near 97 degrees.
• 8:15
  This study, which spans literature from the 1840s to present, indicates that such high
• 8:20
  temperatures compromise the bee's survival by affecting their reproductive capacities
• 8:26
  and the health of worker bees.
• 8:29
  Given that last year was the hottest on record, and with the increasing frequency of such
• 8:33
  record-breaking temperatures, the ability of bumblebees to adapt to these changes remains
• 8:39
  a critical concern.
• 8:41
  This research underscores the importance of addressing global warming alongside other
• 8:46
  threats like habitat loss and pesticide use to protect these crucial pollinators.
• 8:52
  And in entertainment news, James Gunn has unveiled the new look for Superman, featuring
• 9:01
  David Corencwet in the iconic suit, which appears notably weathered, hinting at intense
• 9:07
  action sequences in the upcoming movie.
• 9:10
  This marks Corencwet's first major lead role in a Hollywood blockbuster.
• 9:16
  Superman, set for a July 2025 release, also stars Rachel Brosnahan as Lois Lane and Nicholas
• 9:25
  Holt as Lex Luthor.
• 9:27
  The ensemble cast includes talents like Spiler DeSando and Anthony Carrigan, adding depth
• 9:33
  to the anticipated superhero film.
• 9:37
  Gunn's decision to simplify the film's title from Superman, legacy to just Superman,
• 9:43
  reflects a possibly streamlined approach to the storied franchise.
• 9:47
  Well, alrighty folks, it's time for the quote of the day.
• 9:53
  And today, our quote comes from Becky Pringle of the National Education Organization.
• 9:59
  Educators, you are leading the way.
