Mention kung-fu movies and the first response will almost always include Bruce Lee or Jackie Chan. And for good reason — those talented actors and martial artists popularized the genre in the US and abroad. But director Lau Kar-leung is widely considered to be the Grandmaster of kung-fu, revolutionizing what a kung-fu film could be and influencing generations of actors and directors. Museum of Modern Art curator La Frances Hui goes deep into the history of kung-fu films and shows what makes Lau Kar-leung so special to the artform.

Now, Ma is gracing the NPR Tiny desk to perform a series of suites for unaccompanied cello by Johann Sebastian Bach.

Jennifer Macalady is a microbiologist exploring Italy's water-filled Frasassi Caves. The conditions in these caves might be similar to the conditions that the first life on Earth began — lightless and dark. Macalady hopes that the microbes she's discovering might hold the secrets to the origin of life, without the ability to harvest energy from the sun.
