Alterity Therapeutics (ASX:ATH) CEO Dr. David Stamler talked with Proactive's Tylah Tully about the company's advancements in therapies for neurodegenerative diseases, with a focus on multiple system atrophy (MSA). Dr. Stamler outlined the unique mechanism of action of their lead drug, which targets excess iron in the brain to address neurodegeneration. He emphasised the importance of early intervention, highlighting results from the company's open-label study, where 30% of late-stage MSA patients showed neurological improvement. “What we showed is that in those patients that responded, they actually had stabilisation of biomarkers,” said Dr. Stamler. Alterity anticipates data from its pivotal Phase 2 trial early next year, with plans to explore accelerated approval pathways or move into Phase 3 trials. The potential market for the drug is significant, with over 15,000 MSA patients in the US alone, and projected peak sales exceeding $1 billion USD. Dr. Stamler also shared insights into expanding the drug's application to other conditions, including Parkinson's disease and Friedrich's ataxia. #ProactiveInvestors #AlterityTherapeutics #ASX #MSATreatment #NeurodegenerativeDiseases #BiotechInnovation #HealthcareResearch #RareDiseases #ParkinsonianDisorders #FriedrichsAtaxia #ClinicalTrials
This week's episode of the Devil's Trap podcast dives into Supernatural Season 9, Episode 13, titled "The Purge." The hosts, Bitch and Jerk, explore the chilling concept of the "pish taco," a mythical creature that feeds on fat, leading to bizarre and grotesque events in the episode. As they discuss the characters and their motivations, they delve into the ethical quandaries surrounding weight loss and body image, drawing parallels between the show's narrative and real-world issues. Listeners will hear about the complexities of the Winchester brothers' relationship, especially as they grapple with trust and sacrifice in their ongoing battle against supernatural threats. With humor and insight, the hosts also highlight the cultural implications of the episode's lore, making for a thought-provoking and entertaining discussion.Takeaways: The episode explores the themes of body image and societal standards through the lens of horror, highlighting the absurdity of fat-shaming. Diana and Liz provide a humorous yet critical commentary on the show's darker aspects, especially regarding personal struggles with body image. The lore surrounding the 'pish taco' serves as a cultural commentary on exploitation and the consequences of colonialism in Peru. The dynamic between Sam and Dean is a reoccurring theme of conflict that emphasizes their individual struggles and differing philosophies on morality. Maritza's character is portrayed with depth, reflecting the complexities faced by women in oppressive societal structures and their fight for agency. The podcast delves into the representation of indigenous cultures in horror, challenging stereotypes and promoting understanding of cultural narratives.

The international, interdisciplinary research project Circus and its Others presents its fourth edition. The fourth international conference on Circus and its Others will take place in Bogotá, Colombia, from 28 February to 3 March. It will be co-organised by Charles R. Batson (Union College), Karen Fricker (Brock University) and Olga Lucia Sorzano (Artemotion, Colombia, University College Dublin, Ireland). And the Achura Karpa festival is produced by the core conference team. Circus and its Others aims to explore the ways in which contemporary circus artists and companies engage with concepts of difference, otherness and alterity in their practice. What are the contemporary challenges facing the field, and what characterises the community of people who have dedicated themselves to circus research? And how has this research evolved over the past ten years? A few days before the start of the conference in Bogotá, I spoke to Charles R. Batson, Karen Fricker and Olga Lucia Sorzano about their current perceptions of the project. Today you are listening to the Cirqueon Circus Podcast with Veronika Jošková Štefanová.

The Perennial Philosophy, or Perennialism for short, claims that the depth traditions found within the major world religions all converge upon the same metaphysical vision - namely, the identification of our deepest selves with a divine, transcendental ground. Popularized by Aldous Huxley in his 1945 The Perennial Philosophy it has a natural appeal to many thinking, spiritually inclined individuals - including those who have never explicitly heard of it. - Jon In this debate Jonathan will critique the perennial philosophy; Zevi will defend it. Jonathan Weidenbaum is a professor of philosophy and world religions at Berkeley College. Zevi Slavin is a seeker, a teacher, and creator of Seekers of Unity.

Thus, it is not an uneducated essentialist desire, but religious integrity or philosophical urgency that leads those who no longer find an exclusive claim by any single tradition convincing to seek an underlying unity and to investigate the equivalence of symbols under their diversity.” - Charles Davis in his review of Mysticism and Philosophical Analysis, by Steven Katz, ed.

A ilha da Alteridade é um território relativamente vasto e complexo. Em se tratando de um dos mais importantes fundamentos da Antropologia, vale a pena explorarmos algumas trilhas específicas. Vamos propor, então, trabalhar este conceito em três momentos diferentes. Num primeiro momento, percorrendo uma trilha numa floresta densa, vamos iniciar a reflexão sobre este conceito a partir da etimologia da palavra e de algumas abordagens na filosofia. Depois, admirando uma grande queda d´água, vamos conversar sobre alguns dos desdobramentos do conceito de alteridade na Antropologia. Finalmente, já na trilha que nos conduzirá de volta ao nosso barco, vamos explorar o universo crítico da antropologia decolonialista e do movimento de virada ontológica da Antropologia para trazermos uma leitura crítica deste conceito. Neste episódio, vamos explorar as raízes etimológicas do conceito de Alteridade, explorando alguns de seus fundamentos no campo da filosofia. Com destaque as elaborações de René Descartes, no período da consolidação da Modernidade; a dialética da alteridade e a dialética da identidade. Referências: Joana Overing. "Alterity".

Pablo (@PabloPCastello & on LinkedIn) is a Research Assistant at the Cambridge Centre for Animal Rights Law & a Junior Fellow of the Animals & Biodiversity programme of the Global Research Network (GRN) think tank. He is a PhD candidate at Royal Holloway (UoL). His research in Philosophy focuses on understanding the importance of human language in human dominion over animals. He also investigates the role animal language can play in relation to the participation of animals in political decision-making processes & the construction of zoodemocratic systems. His interests include ecofeminism, postcolonialism, critical race theory, critical disability studies, animal law, conservation, continental philosophy & critical animal studies. In Sentientist Conversations we talk about the two most important questions: “what's real?” & “what matters?” Sentientism is "evidence, reason & compassion for all sentient beings." The video of our conversation is here on YouTube. We discuss: 0:00 Welcome 1:30 Pablo's Intro - interdisciplinary, intersectional research re: human & non-human animals, their languages & potential zoodemocracy. 3:51 What's Real? - Born into an atheist family - Wittgenstein's "Tractatus Logico-Philosophicus" & the mystical sense of Tolstoy, Dostoyevsky - "Becoming sensitive to a dimension of reality that I thought had been hidden to me" via a purely scientific perspective - Are poetry, music, arts & feeling beyond science even while they are aspects of reality (not the mystical)? - Being grounded in our embodied existence - "Ethical value flows from reality"... "Sentience matters because it is real... there are beings that actually suffer" - Interests, preferences & relationships are all grounded in who those beings are - Derrida's "The Animal That Therefore I Am." What is it like for a cat to see me naked?! - Alterity. Appreciating the "other" in their own terms. Levinas - Science & naturalism & personal experience - Feminist thought & context - Language, categories, relations, community & power - "Western" binaries. Those with/without reason. Barbarians & the civilised. - Can relations & communities & cultures exist in their own rights, independent of entities or are they patterns of info processing in the minds of sentients? - Is the bond between cow & calf intrinsically valuable, separate from the impact on the cow & calf? - Science & scientism - Claire Jean Kim's "Dangerous Crossings". Understanding all perspectives including the context of our own. Mutual avowal - Lori Gruen & entanglement - The ancient, global, various roots of sentiocentrism & naturalism - Consilience vs. silos of knowledge ...and much more. Full show notes at Sentientism.info and on YouTube. Sentientism is “Evidence, reason & compassion for all sentient beings.” More at Sentientism.info.

Being Different, Together. This is a great way to think about how to be human and humanist.
Season five of our podcast features presentations from our 2020 annual conference: ‘Engaged Phenomenology’ Online. In this episode we release one of our keynote talks, that of Professor Dan Zahavi. Zahavi is Professor of Philosophy, University of Copenhagen, Professor of Philosophy, University of Oxford, and Director of the Center for Subjectivity Research (CFS). ABSTRACT: At its core, phenomenology is a philosophical endeavour. Given its distinctly philosophical nature, one might reasonably wonder whether it can offer anything of value to positive science. Can it at all inform empirical work? There can, however, be no doubt about the answer to these questions. For more than a century, phenomenology has provided crucial inputs to a variety of disciplines in the social sciences and the humanities, including psychology, sociology, and anthropology. Within the last few decades, phenomenology has also been an important source of inspiration, not only for theoretical debates within qualitative research but also for ongoing research within the cognitive sciences. But what is the best way to practice, use and apply phenomenology in a non‐philosophical context? How deeply rooted in phenomenological philosophy must the empirical research be in order to qualify as phenomenological? How many of the core commitments of phenomenology must it accept? In my talk, I will discuss and assess some different answers to these questions. BIO: Dan Zahavi is Professor of Philosophy at University of Copenhagen and University of Oxford, and director of the Center for Subjectivity Research in Copenhagen. In addition to a number of scholarly works on the phenomenology of Husserl, Zahavi has mainly written on the nature of selfhood, self-consciousness, intersubjectivity, and social cognition. His most important publications include Self-awareness and Alterity (1999), Husserl’s Phenomenology (2003), Subjectivity and Selfhood (2005), The Phenomenological Mind (together with Shaun Gallagher) (2008/2012), Self and Other (2014), Husserl’s Legacy (2017), and Phenomenology: The Basics (2019). Zahavi also serves as the co-editor in chief of the journal Phenomenology and the Cognitive Sciences. This recording is taken from the BSP Annual Conference 2020 Online: 'Engaged Phenomenology'. Organised with the University of Exeter and sponsored by Egenis and the Wellcome Centre for Cultures and Environments of Health. BSP2020AC was held online this year due to global concerns about the Coronavirus pandemic. For the conference our speakers recorded videos, our keynotes presented live over Zoom, and we also recorded some interviews online as well. Podcast episodes from BSP2020AC are soundtracks of those videos where we and the presenters feel the audio works as a standalone: https://www.britishphenomenology.org.uk/bsp-annual-conference-2020/ You can check out our forthcoming events here: https://www.britishphenomenology.org.uk/events/ The British Society for Phenomenology is a not-for-profit organisation set up with the intention of promoting research and awareness in the field of Phenomenology and other cognate arms of philosophical thought. Currently, the society accomplishes these aims through its journal, events, and podcast.

David A. Sinclair, Ph.D., is one of the world's most famous and influential scientists. He is a tenured Professor at Harvard Medical School and TIME magazine named him "one of the 100 most influential people in the world" (2014) and among the "Top 50 People in Healthcare" (2018). New York Times Bestselling author of Lifespan: Why We Age―and Why We Don't Have To.David is on the board of directors of the American Federation for Aging Research and has received more than thirty-five awards for his research and is an inventor on 40 patents. Dr. Sinclair has been featured on The Joe Rogan Experience, 60 Minutes, a Barbara Walters special, The Today Show, Good Morning America, The Wall Street Journal, The New York Times, Fortune, and Newsweek, The Rich Roll podcast, among others.After thirty years of searching for truths about human biology, David is in a unique position. If you were to visit him in Boston, you'd most likely find him hanging out in his lab at Harvard Medical School, where he's a professor in the Department of Genetics and CoDirector of the Paul F. Glenn Center for Biological Mechanisms of Aging Research. He also runs a sister lab at his alma mater, the University of New South Wales in Sydney. In his labs, teams of brilliant students and PhDs have both accelerated and reversed aging in model organisms and have been responsible for some of the most cited research in the field, published in some of the world's top scientific journals. He is also a cofounder of the journal Aging, which provides space to other scientists to publish their research on one of the most challenging and exciting questions of our time. He's also a cofounder of the Academy for Health and Lifespan Research, a group of the top twenty researchers in aging worldwide.In trying to make practical use of his discoveries, he has helped start a number of biotechnology companies and sits as chair of the scientific boards of advisers of several others. These companies work with hundreds of leading academics in scientific areas ranging from the origin of life to genomics to pharmaceuticals. He is, of course, aware of his own lab's discoveries years before they are made public, but through these associations, he is also aware of many other transformational discoveries ahead of time, sometimes a decade ahead.Having received the equivalent of a knighthood in Australia and taken on the role of an ambassador (hence the AO at the end of his name), he's been spending quite a bit of his time briefing political and business leaders around the world about the ways our understanding of aging is changing--and what that means for humanity going forward.He's applied many of his scientific findings to his own life, as have many of his family members, friends, and colleagues. The results-- which, it should be noted, are completely anecdotal--are encouraging. He's now 50, and he feels like a kid. His wife and kids will tell you he acts like one, too. The all live in Boston and enjoy hiking, kayaking, and traveling to unique places in the world together.David and his wife Sandra are committed to turning key discoveries into medicines and technologies that help the world. He is involved in a variety of activities beyond being an academic including being a founder, equity owner, adviser, member of the board of directors, consultant, investor, collaborator with, and inventor on patents licensed to companies working to improve the human condition or national security. These include Vium; Jupiter Orphan Therapeutics; CohBar; Galileo Bioscience; Wellomics; EdenRoc Sciences and its affiliates Arc Bio, Dovetail Genomics, Claret Medical, Revere Biosciences, UpRNA, MetroBiotech, and Liberty Biosecurity; and Life Biosciences and its affiliates Selphagy Therapeutics, Senolytic Therapeutics, Spotlight Therapeutics, Immetas Therapeutics, Lua, Animal Biosciences, Iduna, Continuum Innovation, Prana (now Alterity); and Jumpstart Fertility. He is an inventor on over forty patents, most of which are licensed to industry or have been filed by companies, including a patent application filed by Mayo Clinic and Harvard Medical School and licensed to Elysium Health, of which any proceeds to him are donated to research. He gives lectures at conferences, museums, not-for-profit events, and occasionally at companies, and he sits on the boards of not-for-profit organizations, including the American Federation for Aging Research. He also serves as an adviser to the Lorraine Cross Award.- https://lifespanbook.com/Catch my book - Screw Being Shy, March 14th on my website markmetry.comPlease do NOT hesitate to reach out to me for any reason on LinkedIn, Instagram, via email mark@vudream.com, text me 508-925-0261!LinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/in/mark-metry/Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/markmetry/Twitter - https://twitter.com/markymetryMedium - https://medium.com/@markymetryFacebook - https://www.facebook.com/Humans.2.0.PodcastMark Metry - https://www.markmetry.com/Humans 2.0 Twitter - https://twitter.com/Humans2Podcast

Today's word of the day is alterity. It's spelled A-L-T-E-R-I-T-Y. Alterity is a noun that means otherness. The Latin word alter (AHL ter) means the other and it has given us such words and phrases as alternative and alter ego. Alterity refers to the state of being something else, usually something alien or unusual. Rob's red dreadlocks increased the sense of alterity when he worked on Wall Street. His strange haircut made him even more of an outsider. The spelling of alterity is A-L-T-E-R-I-T-Y.

In Literature, Exile, Alterity: The New York Group of Ukrainian Poets (Academic Studies Press, 2014), Maria G. Rewakowicz explores a unique collaboration of the poets residing in the United States and writing poetry in the Ukrainian language. This research offers a systematized and chronologically organized vision of the group, which, in spite of the geographical limitations implied by its name, appeared to invite artists from a variety of geographical loci and aesthetic backgrounds. Literature, Exile, Alterity focuses on seven founding members of the New York Group: Bohdan Boychuk, Yuriy Tarnawsky, Bohdan Rubchak, Zhenia Vasylkivska, Patricia Kylyna, Emma Andijevska, and Vira Vovk. Acquiring its shape during the 1950s and 1960s and actively participating in the cultural, social, and political dialogues during the subsequent decades, the New York Group expanded and eventually went rather far beyond its original core. Over the decades, the group also dispersed geographically; however, as Rewakowicz argues, it retained its aesthetic and philosophical essentials revolving around the notions of home/homeland, exile, the collaboration of the center and the periphery, political and social impetus of poetry, poetic forms and meanings they generate, etc. Rewakowicz contextualizes the New York Group from the viewpoint of the poets relationship with their native language(s): writing in Ukrainian was a conscious choice for the majority of the groups members. Language thus is presented not only in terms of creative enterprise but also in terms of political, social, and cultural negotiations. As the research attests, the members of the group situate themselves in opposition to Soviet Ukraine, to the mainstream culture (both in Ukraine and the US), and to the literary conventions supported by the literary establishments. From this perspective, the groups focus on linguistic choices and preferences marks a gesture toward re-inventing selves and poetry, re-negotiating selves and others, and disrupting the mainstream. In addition to the theoretical framework for the discussion of the New York Group phenomenon, Literature, Exile, Alterity also offers an exquisite analysis of the poetry. Rewakowicz illuminates the multilayeredness the poets embrace and presents the groups diverse poetic experimentations as the engagement with altered selves. Existential undertones that the poetic works lavishly comprise are discussed in the context of Western European modernism. In spite of the strong modernist influences that the works of the New York Group demonstrate, the researcher also initiates a discussion of the group in terms of the overlapping of modernism and postmodernism. Literature, Exile, Alterity contributes to the discussion of modern Ukrainian literature from the perspective of intercultural and interliterary connections and influences. Rewakowicz also engages in the conversation regarding diverse intricacies of literary developments. Maria G. Rewakowicz, poet, translator, literary scholar, teaches Ukrainian literature at Rutgers. She received a PhD in Slavic Studies from the University of Toronto. Rewakowiczs research interests include: Ukrainian language, culture, and literature; language politics, literature and identity construction; feminism and nationalism in post-Soviet space; women and gender issues in literature; Ukrainian migr poetry; exile and literature; postcolonial studies.
