PRI's The World: 02/22/2016

Today we visit a lab full of mosquitoes. Researchers in Brazil are studying the mosquitoes that transmit the Zika virus, and yes, that means plastic containers full of captured insects. Also, two young women in Tehran have started their own woodworking shop. They talk about their work, their friendship, and their failed attempt to move to the US. Plus, we hear a different sort of story from Iran: One woman's personal experience trying to avoid the "morality police," the units responsible for cracking down on behavior that's deemed immoral or inappropriate by Iran's Islamic authorities.
