Our brains are wired for the familiar, but changing this wiring can transform your life. Neuroscientist Nicole Vignola explains how deeply rooted beliefs, often shaped by upbringing and natural biases like negativity and confirmation, can limit our potential and keep us trapped in old thought patterns.

Join host Jeff Corwin in Alaska's Cook Inlet as he assists conservationists Nicole Whittington-Evans and Suzanne Steinert in monitoring endangered beluga whales. These Arctic-adapted whales, known for their echolocation and lack of a dorsal fin, feed on salmon in the inlet. Once numbering over a thousand, their population has plummeted by nearly 80% since the early 1990s.

Habitat degradation from nearby human development and climate change are significant threats preventing recovery. Experts emphasize the need to reduce environmental impacts and balance human needs with beluga survival to ensure future generations can witness these incredible creatures.
