Podcast appearances and mentions of alfredo carpineti

SpaceFest, run by Greywood Arts in partnership with the National Space Centre (NSC) and supported by Taighde Éireann - Research Ireland, celebrates Science Week by combining science and the arts to explore the cosmos. This year's festival offers a week-long programme for adults, teens, and families, running from Sunday, 10 November through Sunday, 17 November. Attendees can look forward to experiments, exhibitions, tours, classes, workshops, and more, all accessible at https://spacefest.ie. Now in its fourth year, SpaceFest is expanding beyond its previous home base at the NSC. 2024 events will be held across Cork City at venues including Marina Market, UCC, Blackrock Castle Observatory, and Cork County Cricket Club. In East Cork, activities will take place at Greywood Arts (Killeagh) and the National Space Centre (Midleton). Some of the dozen SpaceFest events around Cork City and County include: Space Cocktails Speakeasy (€20): What does a nebula taste like in liquid form? What cocktail could we make with ingredients found on Mars? Dr Alfredo Carpineti, also known as the Astroholic, will lead an Astro-inspired mixology workshop with hands-on demonstrations. Ballymaloe-trained chef, and Food Truck alumni Niamh Hergarty will pair tastings inspired by the first fermentation on the ISS. It's About Time: Distant Galaxies Poetry Workshop (Free): Participants will have the opportunity to tour UCC's historic 1880 Crawford Observatory in a private visit led by UCC Head of Astrophysics Dr Paul Callanan. A 90-minute workshop led by poet Kerri Sonnenberg will follow, pondering how images of distant galaxies from billions of years in the past, their light just now reaching us, causes us to reconsider what we think we know about time. Stellar Perspectives at Solaris: (Free): An astrophotography exhibit featuring images of the heavens and night skies over Ireland. The nine photographers whose work is displayed represent members of photography, astrophotography and astronomy clubs from across the country as well as independent photographers. The week culminates with Cosmic Debris (Free), an immersive multimedia exhibition that challenges the audience to rethink our place in the cosmos and the impact we leave behind. Held at the National Space Centre beneath the site's iconic 32-metre Big Dish, tickets include a tour of the facility, which only opens to the public for this annual event. Greywood Artists-in-residence Nicholas Carn (UK), Kerry Guinan (IE) and artist/engineer Luisa Charles (UK) present collaboratively devised kinetic, levitating sculptures and moving images in response to the issue of space debris. Selected from over 100 applicants, these three internationally exhibited artists engaged with both Blackrock Castle Observatory and UCC's Crawford Observatory during their residency at Greywood Arts in Killeagh in order to bring hard science into the creative interpretation on exhibit. Big Listening and Radio Silence, featuring sound, sculptures and listening devices created by nearly 150 young participants from Greywood's space-themed STEAM programme, will also be on display for visitors to see and interact with. As one of a number of accessibility initiatives rolled into the Festival, a special session for Deaf and Hard of Hearing visitors facilitated by ISL interpreter Keira O'Connell is available for booking online with the rest of the week-long programme at https://spacefest.ie.

Une tempête solaire, c'est en quelques mots, l'explosion de particules énergétiques et de champs magnétiques venant du soleil. La dernière a eu lieu en 2003. Les réseaux électriques et de communication pourraient être perturbés. Mais la conséquence la plus visible, pour le moment, c'est la naissance d'aurores boréales dans différentes régions du monde, et pas seulement, près du pôle Nord, comme on en a l'habitude.Des aurores boréales, en France, en Angleterre, en Suisse, mais aussi aux États-Unis. Ce qui donne d'extraordinaires paysages, rose, rouge, violet, que l'on peut voir à la Une du Monde, du New-York Times, ou encore de la Nación, en Argentine, où « la tempête solaire a, nous dit-on, provoqué des aurores australes et généré un spectacle de lumières et de couleurs dans le ciel d'Ushuaïa et de l'Antarctique ». Le New York Times a interrogé Alfredo Carpineti, « un astrophysicien qui vit au nord de Londres », il ne cache pas son enthousiasme. « C'est incroyable, s'exclame-t-il, de voir des aurores boréales depuis son jardin ». Selon le quotidien américain, « le spectacle pourrait durer jusqu'au début de la semaine prochaine ».La planète nous offre donc quelques belles surprises, mais nous confronte aussi, et plus souvent, aux catastrophes naturelles. Et en ce moment, c'est le Brésil qui en fait les frais. Des pluies intenses frappent le sud du pays. On compte déjà près de 130 morts. Le journal O Globo a suivi une équipe de secours, venue récupérer au 3ᵉ étage d'un hôpital inondé jusqu'au 2ᵉ,  « des médicaments, des respirateurs artificiels et du matériel de dialyse ».  Au total, les militaires et des civils armés ont « escorté trois bateaux remplis de matériel ». Sur une photo, on voit des hommes armés, debout, dans un canot pneumatique à moteur. La région de Porto Alegre est donc sous les eaux, et elle est, de plus, la proie des pillards, « qui circulent la nuit dans les rues inondées ». O Globo a rencontré un lieutenant de l'armée qui affirme : « les pillards ne nous intimident pas. Avec nous, ils ont tout à perdre ».Finale de l'Eurovision ce soir à Malmö, en Suède.Une finale sous tension, avec le Proche-Orient en toile de fond. Comme l'explique le journal Le Soir en Belgique, « la participation d'Israël au concours musical suscite la controverse depuis des mois, en raison de la guerre menée par le pays contre le groupe islamiste palestinien Hamas à Gaza ». La candidate israélienne, Eden Golan, a été « fortement huée, hier soir, lors de sa prestation à la 2ᵉ répétition de la finale du concours », précise le Soir.  Et ce n'est pas tout, raconte le quotidien espagnol El Mundo, « tout au long de la semaine, les manifestations contre la participation d'Israël ont rempli Malmö de drapeaux palestiniens, amené les participants à parler de censure, et transformé l'Eurovision en un festival de tension constante. Tout le monde attend de voir quelle sera la prochaine manifestation contre Israël ». En Israël où, précise le journal français Libération, « le Premier ministre a déclaré que la candidate de son pays avait « déjà gagné ». « Non seulement vous participez fièrement et de manière admirable à l'Eurovision, mais vous affrontez avec succès une horrible vague d'antisémitisme »  a déclaré Benyamin Netanyahu, dans un message adressé à la chanteuse. Killian Mbappé quitte le PSGIl est en Une de l'Équipe, avec ce titre « Adios y Gracias », clin d'œil à la destination de l'attaquant français pressenti au Real Madrid. « Il faut être Killian Mbappé, sans doute, pour transformer une information que tout le monde connaît, en évènement que tout le monde commente », nous dit le quotidien sportif, qui rappelle que Killian Mbappé a remporté 14 titres avec le club parisien, mais jamais, la Ligue des champions. « Ce qui laissera », estime l'Équipe, « la trace d'une quête inaboutie. Et d'une frustration ».  

In this episode, we talk to Dr. Alfredo Carpineti, science reporter, founder and chair of PRIDE in STEM.  We explored what PRIDE in STEM is - whether it's still important - and whether things are worse for LGTBQ+ people in STEM than in the rest of academia.That all led us to a conversation about the challenges of the politicisation of LGTBQ+ issues in many countries, internationalisation - and finally, how we can all help make academia more LGBTQ+ inclusive.Alfredo is good company - and we think everybody can learn a lot from our conversation with him about LGBTQ+ rights in a challenging time.  You can learn more about Pride in STEM at: https://prideinstem.org/You can follow them on X/Twitter at:  https://twitter.com/PrideinSTEMYou can follow Alfredo on X/Twitter at:  https://twitter.com/DrCarpinetiThis episode is produced and edited by: Peter Xiong00:00 - Intro01:28 - Alfredo's background02:45 - Why did Alfredo found Pride in Stem?08:58 - Why focus on STEM?15:55 - Diversity vs discrimination19:26 - Navigating protecting employees and national politics33:34 - What challenges/opportunities do you see for LGBTQ in academia?44:30 - Change starting from universities49:24 - How do you support an LGBTQ person in academia?54:03 - End of interview55:12 - Interview RecapThanks for listening.

Atmospheric scientist Katharine Hayhoe realised she was the only climate researcher in West Texas when she joined Texas Tech University in Lubbock, 15 years ago.Within a few months she was being asked to address community groups about climate change, but also a growing number of posts from social media trolls who disagreed with her, many of them misogynistic in tone.The situation has worsened since October 2022, she says. This follows amendments to Twitter's free speech policies after the platform changed ownership.“It used to be that I would receive that hate via letters or emails, or phone calls, or official complaints to my university. And those certainly still arrive. But now the deluge of hundreds of hateful comments in a single day that the internet facilitates, whether it is on Twitter, or LinkedIn, or Facebook, or even Instagram, the volume is just 100 times more than it would be without the Internet.”Hayhoe and Chris Jackson, a geoscientist who was extensively trolled after becoming the first Black researcher to deliver a Royal Institution Christmas lecture, describe how employers can protect scientists facing both online and in-person harassment, alongside they personal strategies they have adopted to protect themselves.In the fifth episode of this seven-part podcast series about freedom and safety in science, they are joined by Alfredo Carpineti, a science journalist who chairs Pride in STEM, a UK charity that supports LGBTQIA+ scientists and engineers, and Lauren Kurtz, executive director of the Climate Science Legal Defense Fund, a nonprofit to help environmental scientists in the United States who find themselves under fire.The first six episodes in this series conclude with a follow-up sponsored slot from the International Science Council about how it is exploring freedom, responsibility and safety in science.

What and how we eat plays a huge role in keeping us healthy. The role of diet in helping us when we are fighting off diseases is also enormous, but not discussed often enough. Dr Alfredo Carpineti sat down with Dr William Li to talk about cutting-edge research on how diet helps us stay healthy, and the role it plays in supporting medical treatments. Dr Li is a physician, scientist, president, and medical director of the Angiogenesis Foundation, and author of Eat To Beat Disease: The New Science of How Your Body Can Heal Itself. You can read his book, with plenty of science and recipes, here: https://drwilliamli.com/book-li.

In school, math is one of those polarizing subjects that people either love or hate. For each person complaining they will never use Pythagoras theorem outside of class, there is somebody else pointing out that math is actually about learning skills like problem-solving. In this episode, host Dr Alfredo Carpineti asks a controversial Big Question: "Is math the greatest subject in the world?" To make the case is British mathematician Professor Nira Chamberlain, listed by the Science Council as “one of the UK's top 100 scientists”. His reasoning should get even the biggest math skeptics on board.    

In this episode we discuss with Alfredo Carpineti about how light has enabled us to communicate and display images to each other across continents, locate yourself to within a few metres anywhere on earth and to look back in time and see images across the depths of space including black holes which were imaged for the first time in 2019. Alfredo (he/him) is an astrophysicist and science communicator. He works as a journalist for IFLScience and he runs a podcast called The Astroholic Explains, where he answers questions about the Universe. You can read more about Alfredo`s exciting work here at https://linktr.ee/theastroholic.

Every second of every day, whether we're actively aware of it or not, we're using our imagination: from what we might have for dinner to life on other worlds. But how can our brains conjure up stuff that we are not looking at or even images of things that don't exist? Our host Dr Alfredo Carpineti is joined by cognitive scientist Professor Tyler Marghetis from the University of California, Merced to discuss how imagination works, how we can have "Eureka!" moments, and if imagination works the same for everyone.

Everything we see, from galaxies to capybaras, is made of matter. But matter has a mirrored version of itself known as antimatter. If the two come into contact they annihilate one another, turning into pure energy. Why does the universe prefer one over the other? This is a fundamental mystery of the universe, and at the forefront of the search for an answer is the Alpha Experiment at CERN. In this episode, host Dr Alfredo Carpineti is joined by experimental physicist and Alpha spokesperson Professor Jeffrey Hangst to understand the nature of mysterious antimatter.

We live in a society that idolizes youth for sure, but also with age comes wisdom. However, aging is not all it's cracked up to be. Could we keep getting older without the drawbacks of being old? Other animals do it, so maybe one day it could apply to humans too. In this episode, host Dr Alfredo Carpineti is joined by Dr Andrew Steele, author of Ageless: The New Science of Getting Older Without Getting Old, to talk about the medical fight against old age at a cellular level and whether humans could ever live forever. 

Studying the Universe told us the cosmos began with the Big Bang. But how will everything end? In a cold and desolate nothingness? Or will everything collapse back into itself in a Big Crunch? In this episode, host Dr Alfredo Carpineti is joined by theoretical astrophysicist Dr Katie Mack, the Hawking Chair in Cosmology and Science Communication at the Perimeter Institute, who has written extensively about the subject. Together they discuss what the curtain call of the Universe might look like. 

Everything we see and interact with, regular matter, is only a small fraction of what the universe contains. In fact, the vast majority of the universe is invisible to us. We've named these mysterious components dark matter and dark energy, but our understanding of them – and if they even exist – remains lacking. To unravel more of this mystery, Dr Alfredo Carpineti sat down with Dr Mandeep Gill from the Dark Energy Survey collaboration to ask: Will the new generation of upcoming observatories help us understand what the universe is really made of?

Of all the mysteries of the universe, none is closer to us as human beings than this one: what is consciousness? How does our brain turn electrical signals into thoughts and feelings? In this episode, host Dr Alfredo Carpineti and Professor Liad Mudrik from the School of Psychological Sciences And Sagol School of Neuroscience at Tel Aviv University discuss these questions and more as they try and get to the bottom of what is consciousness?

The climate crisis is unfolding around us with extreme weather events becoming more common and living organisms having to survive or perish in a changing world. In this episode, host Dr Alfredo Carpineti sat down with Dr Alexandre Kōberle, a research fellow at the Grantham Institute for Climate Change, to discuss how we got here, how we can avoid the worse case scenarios, what political will is needed, and if there are ways to actually fix the mess we are in?
