Send us a textDrug-resistant germs are hidden killers in more than one way. Not only are the microbes invisible to the human eye, in many places, they're invisible because people simply are not looking for them systematically.Doctors often do not know what infections their patients have and treat them based on best guesses, which allows for ineffective treatments and exacerbates drug resistance. Policymakers don't know which infections are most common among populations and cannot make informed decisions about needed treatments or vaccines.This is a major problem across Africa and a new report shows just how complex the problem is.The Mapping AMR and Antimicrobial use Partnership (MAAP), which included the One Health Trust as well as the African Society for Laboratory Medicine; Africa CDC; the East, Central, and Southern Africa Health Community; Innovative Support to Emergencies, Diseases, and Disasters, a nonprofit focused on technology and communication;  the clinical research group IQVIA; and the West African Health Organization, collected data from laboratories from 14 countries in Africa (Burkina Faso, Cameroon, Gabon, Ghana, Kenya, Eswatini, Malawi, Nigeria, Senegal, Sierra Leone, Tanzania, Uganda, Zambia, and Zimbabwe). “The study revealed significant gaps in bacteriology testing capacities,” the group, whose work was paid for by the UK government's Fleming Fund, wrote in PLoS Medicine.It's the biggest survey yet of testing for antimicrobial resistance – AMR or drug resistance – in Africa.Among the gaps: too little testing overall, a lack of laboratory capacities, and poor coordination and analysis of records. Many records were kept only on paper, which made them almost impossible to access.None of this surprises Dr. Sabiha Essack, South African Research Chair in Antibiotic Resistance and One Health and Professor in Pharmaceutical Sciences at the University of KwaZulu-Natal. In an ideal world, she says, a doctor, nurse or other professional should see a patient, test them to see what specific microbe is causing an infection, check to see which drugs will successfully fight that germ, and then treat the patient accordingly.Cheap point-of-care tests should be available everywhere and the results of those tests should be entered into systems that officials can use to make policy decisions, she says. Listen as she tells One World, One Health host Maggie Fox other ways to improve our knowledge about the drug-resistant infections that lurk out there. Want to know more? You can find One World, One Health episodes on drug-resistant infections in cancer patients; superbugs and microplastics; the personal toll of antibiotic resistance; one woman's antibiotic resistance nightmare; how to prevent drug resistance, and more.

Command the Good, Change the World In this insightful lecture, Dr. Mufti Abdur-Rahman ibn Yusuf Mangera unpacks the foundational Islamic principle of Amr bil Ma‘ruf wa Nahy ‘an al-Munkar—enjoining what is right and forbidding what is wrong. While this concept is often spoken about, its true meaning, scope, and method of practice can be complex and sometimes misunderstood. Dr. Mangera simplifies these intricacies, making the subject accessible and relevant to everyday life. The lecture explores the deeper purpose behind this divine directive, clarifies common misconceptions, and outlines practical ways Muslims can embody it with wisdom, balance, and compassion. With clarity and thoughtful examples, Dr. Mangera demonstrates how living by this principle not only refines personal character but also uplifts communities and drives positive societal change. Command the Good, Change the World reminds us that nurturing virtue and addressing wrongs responsibly is not only a spiritual duty but also a powerful catalyst for transformation in the world around us.

In this episode Dominic Bowen and Dr. Ramanan Laxminarayan explore antimicrobial resistance (AMR) as a geopolitical flashpoint. Find out more about how drug resistance has already crossed the red line with untreatable infections, why AMR is not a future threat but a present crisis claiming 1.3 million lives annually, and how the erosion of antibiotic effectiveness undermines cancer care, surgery, and modern medicine. The conversation examines the political and economic reasons governments have been slow to act, the fragile economics of antibiotic development, and the risks of over-reliance on a handful of pharmaceutical firms. It also addresses the spread of multi-drug resistant infections in conflict zones such as Ukraine and Gaza, the importance of prevention through vaccines and sanitation, and the broader international risks as nationalism rises and global cooperation weakens.Dr. Ramanan Laxminarayan is the Founder and President of the One Health Trust and a Senior Research Scholar at Princeton University. He is also an Affiliate Professor at the University of Washington, a Visiting Professor at the University of Strathclyde, and a Senior Associate at the Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health. Dr. Laxminarayan chairs the board of GARD-P, a global product development partnership created by the World Health Organization to develop and deliver new treatments for drug-resistant infections. He is also the founder and board chair of HealthCubed, which works to improve access to healthcare and diagnostics worldwide. Since 1995, he has been a leading global voice on antimicrobial resistance, bringing the issue to the United Nations General Assembly in 2016 and shaping health policy across Asia and Africa through the Global Antibiotic Resistance Partnership.The International Risk Podcast brings you conversations with global experts, frontline practitioners, and senior decision-makers who are shaping how we understand and respond to international risk.

Haya; beğenilmemesi (veya nefret edilmesi) beklenen, yahut terk edilmesi işlenmesinden evlâ olan bir şeyi yaptığında (ya da yapacağı zaman) insan yüzünde beliren ince bir belirtidir. Peygamber (s.a.v.) bu kavrama sahip olmak yönünden de herkesten üstündü. Yani son derece haya sahibi idi. Avret ve ayıp olan şeylere karşı âdeta gözleri yumuktu. Ebu Said el-Hudri (r.a.)'ın: “Resûlullâh (s.a.v.), örtüsü içindeki bakire kızdan daha hayâlıydı. Bir şeyden hoşlanmadığı zaman,hemen (mübarek) yüzünden anlardık. Peygamber (s.a.v.) öylesine haya ve edeb sahibi idi ki, hiç kimseye, hoşlanmadığı şeyle (haya ve iyiliğinden ötürü) hitap etmezdi.” dediği rivayet edilmiştir.Âişe (r.anha), Peygamber (s.a.v.) hakkında şöyle buyuruyor: “Kendilerine, bir kimsenin,hoşlanmadığı bir şeyi yaptığı haber verilince:“Neden falan kimse böyle diyor, böyle yapıyor?” demezdi. Umumî mânâda şöyle buyururlardı: “Niçin böyle yapıyorlar veya diyorlar?” Bu şekilde o adamı yaptığı veya söylediği kötü işten alıkordu ve adını vermezdi.” Yine Âişe (r.anha) buyurdu ki: “Peygamber (s.a.v.) terbiyeye zıt düşen, bozan bir söz söylemezdi.Böyle bir söz söylemeye katiyen teşebbüs bile etmezdi. Çarşı ve pazarda yüksek sesle (âlemi rahatsız edecek şekilde) katiyen konuşmazdı.Kötülüğe, kötülükle mukâbele etmezdi. Bilâkis af ederdi ve müsamahakâr davranırdı.”Tevrat'ta da böyle vasf edildiğine dair, İbn Selâm ve Amr İbni'I-As (r.a.e)'den rivayet vardır. Yine ondan rivayet edildiğine göre; fazla hayasından dolayı mübarek gözü kimsenin yüzüne sabit bir halde bakamazdı. Hoşlanılmayacak bir sözü söylemeye zorunluk duyduğunda kinaye yollu anlatırdı.(Kadı İyaz, Şifâ-i Şerîf, s.115-117)

Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) continues to grow as a global health threat, making infections harder to treat and leaving fewer options for patients. The need for new antibiotics is an urgent matter — but traditional discovery methods are slow and limited. In this episode of Let's Talk Micro, Luis is joined by Dr. James Collins, professor at MIT and researcher at the Broad Institute, who is leading efforts to apply AI to antibiotic discovery. We discuss how his team used deep learning to uncover promising new compounds, including NG1 and DN1, which showed activity against drug-resistant Neisseria gonorrhoeae and Staphylococcus aureus. We also talk about the challenges of bringing discoveries from computer models to the clinic, and what this approach could mean for the future of the fight against superbugs.   Link to study: https://www.cell.com/cell/abstract/S0092-8674%2825%2900855-4   Check out the website: https://www.letstalkmicro.com/ Questions?

Coal remains central to both power demand (AI data centers, baseload needs) and steelmaking (met coal). Matt Warder, Publisher of The Coal Trader, outlines where the market sits in its cycle and how equities are positioning for the next leg higher. Key Points: Thermal vs met coal: distinct demand drivers (power vs steel). AI data centers + global power needs may keep coal in the mix. China still dominant near-term; India a key long-term growth driver. Coal cycles run ~5 years - next peak expected by 2026–27. Company catalysts: cost curves, production growth, buybacks, and dividends.

Amr sits down with internationally recognized executive coach, speaker, and author, Mohammed Farris. The discussion delves into the integration of spirituality and productivity, centered around Mohamed's latest book, The Barakah Effect: More with Less. The episode uses a hypothetical character, Ali, to explore how worldly success without a deep spiritual intention can feel empty and scattered. Mohamed emphasizes the importance of aligning daily actions with a high intention (niyyah) and relatively high aspirational purpose, grounded in service to God. Additionally, they explore practical aspects of nurturing a business and personal life with Barakah (divine blessing), including structuring schedules around sacred times and making God-centered decisions. This episode is a deep dive into balancing life's demands while prioritizing spirituality and service.

Andrea James, Chief Financial Officer at iMDx, is focused on expanding access to innovative molecular diagnostic testing staring with a test for monitoring transplanted organ health.  The test measures the donor-derived cell-free DNA which can indicate the need for drugs to target organ rejection before invasive procedures are required. The company is developing a kit-based version of the test that can be run by hospitals rather than relying on centralized labs, to increase access to this diagnostic and improve transplant outcomes. Andrea explains, "We changed our name on June 17th from OncoCyte, as you had just referenced, to Insight Molecular Diagnostics Inc. We're now going by iMDx, and our mission is to democratize access to novel molecular diagnostic testing to improve patient outcomes." "We actually have three pieces of IP, intellectual property, and we are initially commercializing in transplant. So we measure a biomarker called donor-derived cell-free DNA, don't get too hung up on it. That's a lot of words. It basically looks for fragments of DNA in the blood, which can indicate transplanted organ damage and therefore rejection. And so that is where we are commercializing first." "What's really interesting is that the innovations in this space are, okay, so let's say you've been on dialysis, that's a really tough life. You finally get your transplanted kidney, and now let's say your body is starting to reject it. You're one of those one in five who were a match, your kidney was a match for you, but then your immune system is attacking it anyway. That used to be almost a death sentence."  "Your options there were you're going to lose your kidney, you go back on dialysis, or you lose your life. But now there are therapies that are coming out to treat antibody-mediated rejection, or AMR, and our test is being used to monitor the efficacy of those therapies." #iMDx #MolecularDiagnostics #Molecular #Diagnostics #Healthcare #PrecisionMedicine #Genomics #Decentralized #LiquidBiopsy #DigitalPCR #Transplant #Localization #Labs #PointOfCareTesting #RapidCare #Democratization imdxinc.com Listen to the podcast here

Für eine Spiegel-Reportage hat Thilo Grönland besucht und aus diesem Grund gibt es diese Woche eine passende Folge zur Spiegel-Reportage, die am Freitag erscheinen wird. In der Folge spricht Thilo mit dem Historiker Ebbe Volquardsen über Grönland – denn er lebt seit fast zehn Jahren in der Hauptstadt Nuuk und unterrichtet dort Kulturgeschichte. Als deutscher Wissenschaftler in einem ehemals kolonisierten Land beschäftigt er sich mit Erinnerungspolitik, Dekolonisierung und der Frage, was es bedeutet, zwischen Dänemark und den USA zu stehen. Gemeinsam mit Thilo blickt Ebbe auf die verdrängte Kolonialgeschichte Grönlands: von Zwangsverhütungen über staatlich gesteuerte Bildungsverschickungen bis hin zur kulturellen Entwurzelung durch dänische „Modernisierung“. Es geht um die Widersprüche zwischen dänischem Selbstbild und grönländischer Realität – und darum, wie junge Inuit heute beginnen, ihre Geschichte selbst zu erzählen. Die beiden sprechen außerdem über die geopolitische Bedeutung Grönlands im Zeitalter des Klimawandels: Welche Rohstoffe verbergen sich unter dem Eis? Warum ist Grönland strategisch so wichtig – und welche Rolle spielen die USA, China und Europa in diesem Spiel? Und was bedeutet es, wenn Donald Trump ankündigt, dieses Land kaufen zu wollen?

In this edition of The Naked Scientists, why we need to pay closer attention to antimicrobial resistance in some of the world's poorest nations... Like this podcast? Please help us by supporting the Naked Scientists

Full transcript (AI generated)Alhamdulillah, we praise Allah for allowing us to gather on this beautiful—if a little chilly—morning. Alhamdulillah for this amazing weather.It was lovely to see the president of the Islamic society in red and white today. To our Indonesian brothers and sisters: Selamat Hari Kemerdekaan—Happy Independence Day. Eighty years since independence—may Allah keep your nation in peace and strength.If anyone needs proof that Islam was not spread by the sword, just look at our region. You don't find armies forcing Islam upon the people there. Rather, traders—many from Hadramawt in Yemen—came to the Indonesian archipelago. The Indonesians were impressed by their honesty and akhlaq. The sultans and rulers accepted Islam, and as was common then, when a king accepted a faith, much of his people followed.Some argue, “But what about the Indian subcontinent—Pakistan and India—didn't Islam spread there by northern armies?” Even there, the heart of Islam's spread was da‘wah and reason, not compulsion.Look at Syria and Egypt. Egypt was opened by ‘Amr ibn al-‘Ās in the time of ‘Umar ibn al-Khaṭṭāb. Syria and Damascus were opened by Khālid ibn al-Walīd. Muslims ruled those lands, yet it took 500 years before Syria became majority Muslim, and around 300 years for Egypt. If Islam were spread by force, everyone would have “converted” within decades. History shows otherwise.Consider also the monastery of St Catherine in Sinai. It predates Islam, and they proudly claim to hold a letter from the Prophet ﷺ guaranteeing the safety of Christians in Egypt. Whether or not you accept the document, the point stands: Islam lived alongside other faiths. In greater Bilād al-Shām—what we call the Levant—multiple religions have long flourished.A stable nation is a great blessing from Allah. One of the early scholars said: I make du‘ā' for our rulers, that Allah rectifies their affairs. When asked, “Why not just make du‘ā' for yourself?” he replied, “If I pray for myself, only I benefit. If I pray for the ruler, everyone benefits.” Even if a ruler is flawed, there is no harm in asking Allah to guide them and make them just—because a just leader benefits all.When we talk about nation-states, let's be honest: many borders are colonial lines. What separates Malaysia and Indonesia? We are one people in so many ways. We speak closely related languages. Historically, the region has been called by many names: the Malay world, the archipelago, even Jāwī—so scholars from our lands were known in the Arab world as “al-Jāwī,” whether they were Javanese, Malay, Bugis, Makassarese, or others. The difference between Malaysia and Indonesia today largely traces to the Dutch and the British.So how do we relate to nation-states? Two extremes exist. One says, “There is no nation—only the Ummah—restore the Khilāfah now.” The other says, “I will die for this colonial line.” The truth, as our scholars remind us, is the balanced middle path. We are one Ummah of Muhammad ﷺ, and we also live in nation-states. Attempts to tear down states overnight have, in recent history, brought much harm. We live within reality while never forgetting the greater reality: every Muslim we meet is our brother or sister in faith, and that bond is sacred.The Prophet ﷺ himself showed us how to balance love of homeland. He loved Makkah—his birthplace, the land of his ancestors, home of the Ka‘bah built by Ibrāhīm and Ismā‘īl. He left only because it became unsafe—he was forced out. On his way out he turned back and said, “O Makkah, had my people not expelled me, I would never have left you.” But when he migrated to Madīnah, he loved it too, and made du‘ā': “O Allah, make us love Madīnah as we love Makkah, or even more,” and, “O Allah, bless Madīnah twice what You blessed Makkah.”He became part of Madīnah's community—integrating Muhājirīn and Anṣār, building a strong society—while his heart still loved Makkah. That's balance.Many of us here were born elsewhere—Malaysia, Indonesia, Lebanon, and beyond—and migrated to Australia. Love your country of origin; that's natural and from the sunnah of fitrah. But also accept the reality: we live here now by choice. So contribute here. Build here. Strengthen community here. Loving Australia doesn't mean hating your country of origin, and loving your homeland doesn't mean ignoring the reality and responsibilities of this country that has given us so much. Ask: How can I make this country, this society, this community better?I often say: loving the country you live in—serving it—is following the sunnah, because that's what the Prophet ﷺ did in Madīnah. Wherever a Muslim goes, they make the place better. In Malay we say: a good seed grows wherever it lands—even on a mountain. That's the believer: wherever we go, we leave goodness.Today I want to focus on Sūrat al-Ḥujurāt—a chapter I call the community's Standard Operating Procedure. It was revealed in late Madīnan years—around year 9 AH—barely over a year before the Prophet's passing. Year 9 is known as ‘Ām al-Wufūd—the Year of Delegations—with tribes pouring into Madīnah to pledge allegiance: sometimes politically, sometimes religiously.Look at the numbers to feel the context. In Makkah, after 13 years of da‘wah, roughly 80-plus men migrated with the Prophet ﷺ. Within two years in Madīnah, that number grew to around 300. At Uḥud, around 700 fought; by al-Khandaq, 3,000. At the Fath (Conquest) of Makkah in year 8, 10,000. By the Prophet's Ḥajj in year 10, more than 120,000. Exponential growth. What fueled it? One key event was the Treaty of al-Ḥudaybiyyah in year 6: a period of peace. In times of war, growth was modest; in times of peace, da‘wah flourished. Islam spreads best with safety, honesty, and service—not with the sword.Now to al-Ḥujurāt itself—“the Chambers”—named after the simple living quarters of the Prophet ﷺ. Despite becoming the most influential man in Arabia, his home was about 5m x 5m. Think of an IKEA showcase room—that's roughly the size. Before Khaybar, the Sahābah often tied stones to their stomachs from hunger. After Khaybar, prosperity came to the community, but the Prophet's personal lifestyle didn't change. When his household's income increased, he didn't buy a bigger house or a fancier camel. He increased in infaq—in giving. Some of his wives understandably asked for more comfort. Allah revealed that the Prophet's family are held to a higher standard, choosing Allah and the Ākhirah over worldly luxury. (Brothers, don't take this as ammunition against your wives—we are not prophets, and our families are not the Mothers of the Believers. Balance is key. The Prophet also taught that the best charity is what you spend on your family.)The sūrah begins: “O you who believe, do not put yourselves before Allah and His Messenger.” Our feelings and preferences take a back seat when the command of Allah and His Messenger is clear. But clarity matters—this is why the Ummah has tafāsīr and scholarship. In the time of ‘Alī and Mu‘āwiyah, the Khawārij claimed, “Back to Qur'ān and Sunnah!” ‘Alī brought the muṣḥaf and said, “Let the Qur'ān speak.” They said, “It can't.” Exactly—we need scholars; the Qur'ān is interpreted and applied through qualified understanding.Next, adab with the Prophet ﷺ: “Do not raise your voices above the voice of the Prophet…” The context: in the Year of Delegations, Abū Bakr and ‘Umar were assigning officials to receive tribes. Their discussion became loud—near the Prophet ﷺ. Allah revealed the warning that raising voices in his presence could nullify deeds. From then, they barely spoke above a whisper before him. One Companion with a naturally loud voice stopped attending the masjid out of fear. The Prophet ﷺ noticed his absence (as was his habit after ṣalāh) and reassured him.How is this relevant now? When you visit al-Rawḍah in Madīnah, remember your adab—don't push, don't argue. And more broadly: respect the Sunnah and ḥadīth. Don't weaponise ḥadīth to defeat one another. Imām Mālik would bathe, dress well, and apply perfume before narrating ḥadīth—because these are the words of the Prophet ﷺ. His mother told him when he was a child: “Learn your teacher's manners before his knowledge.” Many giants of our tradition were raised by remarkable mothers—may Allah increase the piety of our families.Now, the central ayah for our time—49:6:If a fāsiq brings you news, verify (fatabayyanū), lest you harm people out of ignorance and become regretful.Another qirā'ah reads fatathabbātū—establish the truth carefully. Both meanings are needed: verify the facts(tathabbūt) and clarify the context (tabayyun). Something can be factually true but contextually misunderstood. This ayah was revealed when a zakat-collector panicked at the stern-looking welcome of a Bedouin tribe, returned to Madīnah, and reported refusal to pay. War was nearly launched—until the matter was checked and clarified. It was simply a misreading of their manner.Brothers and sisters, we live in an age of instant forwarding. “Shared as received” does not absolve us. Better not to share than to spread harm. The Prophet ﷺ said it's enough falsehood for a person to relay everything they hear. We will be accountable for what we circulate.Next, Allah addresses conflict: “If two groups of believers fight, make peace between them.” Note: believers—disagreement and even fights can sadly occur in this world. Our job is to be peacemakers—afshū al-salām—not arsonists who inflame tensions.Then Allah forbids mockery, belittling nicknames, and demeaning jokes. A one-off joke may pass; repeated “teasing” cuts the heart. Joke with people, not at them. Give good nicknames—like the Prophet ﷺ did with Abū Hurayrah, “father of kittens,” because he loved cats.Finally, the universal ayah—49:13:“O mankind, We created you from male and female, and made you into peoples and tribes so that you may know one another…”Islam doesn't merely tolerate difference—it celebrates it. Li-ta‘ārafū—so you can truly know one another. Our diversity is a strength, not a weakness.A small story from campus days: we used to hold ifṭār at the Hacker Café. When policy changes demanded payment for bookings, the Malays among us—known for adab and non-confrontation—were ready to accept and move on. Our Arab brothers said, “No, this is our right; let's advocate.” Alhamdulillah, by different strengths working together, we kept the space. Sometimes a firm voice is needed; sometimes a calming voice. We need each other.Even our food is multicultural. Malaysians and Indonesians love sambal, but chilli isn't native to us—it came via Iberian traders after their colonisation of the Americas. They found it too spicy and passed it along; we said, “Bismillah—this is amazing!” Now, a meal without sambal hardly feels complete. That's multiculturalism on a plate.The Anṣār and Muhājirīn had different temperaments. The Prophet ﷺ praised the Anṣārī women for their confidence in asking questions—something Makkan women initially found difficult. Different strengths, one Ummah. Be like the beethat seeks flowers, not the fly that looks for wounds.Even our differences in madhāhib and approaches are strengths. Teaching ‘aqīdah to children benefits from the clarity and simplicity associated with “Salafī” pedagogy; engaging philosophers and other faiths may require the tools preserved in Ash‘arī and Māturīdī kalām. In fiqh, our differences are a mercy. I came from a Shāfi‘ī background where Jumu‘ah requires forty settled men. Early on here, I looked out and counted twenty-eight—then remembered I hadn't checked visa statuses! Alhamdulillah for Ḥanafī fiqh, where a much smaller number suffices. Our differences, handled with adab, make life easier, not harder. The line is only crossed when difference turns to violence or takfīr over minor issues.Thank you for spending your precious, cold winter morning with me. We ask Allah to accept this from us.We make du‘ā' that Allah blesses Indonesia with peace, prosperity, and barakah for her people; that He blesses the entire Ummah; that He blesses Australia and guides its leaders to make wise decisions for the public good—not just for narrow economic interests of some quarter.We ask Allah to protect our brothers and sisters in Palestine, especially Gaza. O Allah, they are hungry—feed them. They are surrounded from every direction—but all directions belong to You. Protect them. Grant the martyrs the highest Jannah. Reunite parents and children separated by rubble, and reunite us with them in Jannah. Do not let our hearts turn away from them when the world turns its back. Use us as means for their aid and liberation. Guide us, employ us in Your service, and accept from us, O Most Merciful.Āmīn. This is a public episode.

In this Vital Health Podcast, host Duane Schulthess - joined by Joe Hammang, Vital Transformation's US Business Director - speaks with Henry Skinner (CEO, AMR Action Fund), about the escalating threat of antimicrobial resistance (AMR) and what it will take to rebuild a viable antibiotics pipeline. The conversation follows the full story - from bedside to boardroom - covering why short-course, stewardship-constrained antibiotics are undervalued, how cancer patients shoulder disproportionate risk, and which practical incentives can bring capital and talent back into the field. Henry Skinner also details how the AMR Action Fund is investing roughly $1B in clinical-stage biotech while emphasizing that policy, diagnostics, and prevention must move in lockstep. Key Topics The Antibiotics Market Problem: Short treatment durations, "break-glass" stewardship, and decade-long, high-cost development create a public-goods gap that markets alone will not solve. Oncology & Sepsis Under AMR: Cancer patients face higher rates of infection and drug-resistant infection, undermining gains from modern cancer care. Diagnostics Economics: Cultures and advanced molecular tests are underused due to cost and turnaround time, even though delays drive longer ICU stays and higher system costs. Rebuilding R&D: Big-pharma retreat, brain drain, and investor opportunity costs demand durable pull incentives to attract capital and expertise back to antibiotics. Prevention: Vaccination and prudent antibiotic use can reduce morbidity, resistance, and cost when the system properly values these tools. Recorded July 1, 2025.

Was passiert, wenn Technologie nicht nur Märkte, sondern ganze Gesellschaften verändert? In dieser Folge spricht Thilo Mischke mit Journalist Fritz Espenlaub über den Einfluss von Peter Thiel – Tech-Milliardär, PayPal-Gründer und Strippenzieher im Hintergrund der US-Politik. Sie diskutieren, wie Thiels libertäre Ideen und sein Netzwerk die politische Landschaft in den USA und möglicherweise auch in Europa verschieben könnten. Warum fasziniert Thiel seit Jahrzehnten mit seiner Vision einer radikal veränderten Welt? Ist er ein gefährlicher Visionär oder nur ein weiterer Spieler auf dem „Schachbrett der Zukunft“? Und wie können wir in Europa auf diesen globalen Macht-Shift reagieren? Fritz Espenlaub hat sich intensiv mit Peter Thiel beschäftigt und dazu den ARD-Podcast **„Die Peter Thiel Story“** produziert – unbedingt hörenswert: [Hier anhören](https://www.ardaudiothek.de/sendung/die-peter-thiel-story/urn:ard:show:8862c28ddc06b3b7/).

Guest Bonnie Tsui, author of the fascinating new book On Muscle, talks with hosts Sarah Bowen Shea and fitness professional Britany Williams about: -lifting weights being important to your cognitive health;  -not being afraid of age-related changes to your body;  -how running and swimming are “essential” movements;  -how movements hold memories; and, -the muscle-related tours she led at a modern art museum!    Before the guest joins around 5:12, Sarah excitedly tells her co-host (+ former personal trainer!) about her new weight-training tools.
