BOOMS, BUSTS AND BUBBLES – With the stock market holding steady and even soaring despite worries of war and an AI bubble, correspondent Lesley Stahl speaks with Andrew Ross Sorkin – one of the most trusted financial reporters of our time – about his book 1929, which examines the market crash a century ago, to explore whether history is about to repeat itself. Shachar Bar-On is the producer.

SCULPTING EVOLUTION – Researchers on Nantucket are attempting something unprecedented: using genetic engineering to curb Lyme disease, a tick-borne illness spreading across the U.S. Instead of targeting deer or ticks, they hope to release genetically altered wild mice that are immune to Lyme disease and thereby reduce its transmission. CBS News chief medical correspondent Dr. Jon LaPook visits the island to meet the scientists and hear how their first-of-its-kind approach could reshape the future of disease prevention. Katie Brennan and Denise Schrier Cetta are the producers.

THE PAYAM METHOD – A 32-year-old son of Iranian immigrants is transforming traditional scales and sheet music into a teaching method that has students loving their piano lessons – and sweeping national competitions. Correspondent Bill Whitaker meets Payam Khastkhodaei – who has won over a legendary tech innovator and Oscar-winning composer – to get a first-hand look at what sets this new style of teaching above the rest. Rome Hartman is the producer.
