Invisibilia, the show about the invisible forces that shape human behavior, is back with Season 5. The new episode follows Alabama meteorologist James Spann as he grapples with the aftermath of one of the worst tornado outbreaks in the state’s history and tries to understand how people process weather warnings. And it looks at what we can all learn from him about how to handle uncertainty.
