👋 Welcome to 5 Things PM! The Emmy nominations are out, and “The Bear” and “Shōgun” led the pack with more than 20 each. Here’s a rundown on the nominees in all of the categories.

The discovery could prove to be very helpful for future exploration of the harsh environment. 4️⃣ ‘Spray-on’ shoes: A Swiss sportswear company believes its robot-made sneakers can help runners competing at the Summer Olympics.
