0:00.0	Hi, you're about to get smarter in just a few minutes with Curiosity Daily from Discovery.
0:09.6	Time flies when you're learning super cool stuff. I'm Nate.

0:14.0	If you're dropping in for the first time, welcome to curiosity
0:17.0	where we aim to blow your mind by helping you to grow your mind.
0:20.0	If you're a loyal listener, welcome back.
0:23.0	Today you'll learn about how artificial intelligence can help prevent heart attacks, how scientists
