In 1892 the world's largest telescope, the Lick Observatory's 36 inch refracting telescope made the news when E.E. Barnard discovered, Amalthea, the 5th moon of Jupiter. In 2025 this historic telescope made the news again when on Christmas morning winds of 114 mph blew off a 3 ton piece of the shutter on its dome.The adaptive optics research pioneered at Lick Observatory helped in the creation of the twin giant 10 meter telescopes that sit atop Mauna Kea in Hawaii.

Economic history has been written by men, for men and about men, giving the impression that – until recently – the economy was “just for men”. This lecture rescues from obscurity the many female producers, bankers, and economic revolutionaries who, over the course of human history, have transformed our economic fortunes. It reveals how as women's economic opportunities have ebbed and flowed, so too have the fortunes of nations, providing a fresh perspective on the “rise and fall” of civilisations and illuminating our own prospects for the future.This lecture was recorded by Dr Victoria Bateman on the 6th of November 2025 at Barnard's Inn Hall, LondonDr Victoria Bateman is an economic historian and author of books including Economica: A Global History of Women, Wealth and Power (Headline Press, August 2025), Naked Feminism: Breaking the Cult of Female Modesty (Polity, 2023) and The Sex Factor: How Women made the West Rich (Polity, 2019). She has twenty years' experience teaching economics and economic history at the Universities of Oxford and Cambridge, and is a Fellow of the Royal Historical Society and the Royal Society of Arts.  Victoria was resident economic historian for BBC Radio 4's “Understand: the economy” and has written for Bloomberg, Times Higher Education, The Guardian, CapX and The Telegraph, offering longer-form perspectives on history and the economy. In addition to her writing, Victoria works behind the scenes as a historical consultant for period dramas. The transcript of the lecture is available from the Gresham College website: https://www.gresham.ac.uk/watch-now/women-economyGresham College has offered free public lectures for over 400 years, thanks to the generosity of our supporters.

Watch the Q&A session here: https://youtu.be/Hwl0YRRaHgEWhy did coastal homeowners lose insurance while UK energy bills spiked after Russia's invasion? Because risks started moving together. In this lecture, I show how climate extremes and geopolitics create synchronized shocks that overwhelm insurers and energy suppliers, pushing up premiums and bills. I discuss the basics of risk pooling, why it breaks under correlation, and what realistic fixes look like—from parametric policies and better building standards to smarter hedging and targeted support.

Dr. Marisa Solomon is an Assistant Professor of Women's, Gender and Sexuality Studies at Barnard College, Columbia University, where she teaches courses in feminist intersectional science studies, environmental humanities, Black geographies, feminist theory and queer of color critique. She is currently the director of Barnard's Interdisciplinary Race and Ethnic Studies Minor (ICORE/MORE), an editorial board member of Women's Studies Quarterly (WSQ) and Scholar and Feminist Online. She has written a number of articles on the relationship between waste and Black life in the U.S., including, “The Ghetto is a Gold Mine” for the Journal of Labor and Working-Class History and “Ecologies Elsewhere” for GLQ: A Journal of Gay and Lesbian Studies. Her work also appears in a number of edited volumes such as, Waste as Critique (Oxford University Press), Black Environmentalisms (forthcoming with Duke University Press) and The Politics of Disposability (Duke University Press). One of her essays, “The Edge of the Usual,” also appears in a compilation of essays for the 2023 Venice Biennial on Everlasting Plastics.  In today's conversation, we discuss her new book, The Elsewhere is Black: Ecological Violence and Improvised Life (Duke University Press 2025), which received Duke University Press's Scholar of Color First Book Award, considers ecological politics from the position of Black dispossession. In so doing, The Elsewhere Is Black points us to the durability of racism and its many material forms: toxicity's movement through soil and bodies, the placement of landfills, waste infrastructure, and the technocratic planning and management of Black life and death.

Heart disease is the leading cause of death — but it's also one of the most preventable conditions.  In this episode of The Exam Room, Dr. Neal Barnard joins Chuck Carroll to reveal the best foods for reversing heart disease, lowering cholesterol, and protecting your arteries naturally.

Can plaque really shrink? How fast can cholesterol levels drop? What should you eat if you've already had a heart attack? If you're serious about improving your cardiovascular health, this evidence-based conversation offers practical steps you can start today.

Watch the Q&A session here: https://youtu.be/fuk6LYeOCDQI have two pet dogs; they are happy, wagging their tails and reacting well when I come home from work. They are well fed; have good healthcare; get daily exercise; and have times of play; they do no work or chores. But their long-gone ancestors were wolves, howling at the moon, hunting, creating their packs, taking risks. In this lecture, we will consider a similar domestication of humans by AI, pondering benefits as well as being clear about the costs.This lecture was recorded by Professor Matt Jones on the 3rd Feb 2026 at Barnard's Inn Hall, London.Matt Jones is a computer scientist at Swansea University - and a Fellow of the British Computer Society - who works alongside colleagues from many other disciplines and directly with everyday folk across the world to explore the future of digital technologies. Over the last 30-plus years, this human-centred approach has led to novel approaches for, amongst other things,  mobile phone-based information searching and browsing, pedestrian navigation, voice assistants and deformable displays.  Much of his work has been driven by intense and sustained engagements with “low resource” communities from informal settlements in India, South Africa, and Kenya. Through their generous and gracious participation, these extra-ordinary users with the fresh and diverse perspectives have stimulated insights into the future of digital technologies for everyone, globally. In all this work, Matt works as part of a long-standing collaborative team with Jen Pearson, Simon Robinson and Thomas Reitmaier (from Swansea) and colleagues in India (including Dani Raju) and South Africa (including Minah Radebe). His work has been supported by the UK's science funders (EPSRC and UKRI). Currently, this funding includes a Fellowship to explore the future of interactive AI and leadership roles in responsible AI and inclusive digital technologies. This funding has led to a series of impactful publications, talks and influences on people, policies, and practices. Matt has collaborated with private, public and third sector organisations, including Microsoft, the NHS, Google, IIT-B, the BBC and IBM.

Send us a textYour purpose isn't hiding - it's woven through your skills, your hardest lessons, and the people your higher self placed on your path. In this conversation with Brooke Barnard, an intuitive energetic healer who transitioned from finance to spiritual work, we unpack how to recognize your soul path without forcing timelines or chasing trends that drain your energy.We start by redefining “destiny” as a living design built from mastery skill sets, soul love, and the experiences that trained you to serve. Brooke shares how to identify attributes where your potential truly sits in the top tier - and why those skills matter only when paired with the kind of love that makes you practice through discomfort. We dig into obstacles as curriculum: breakups, career plateaus, or confidence dips that gave you the exact tools your audience will one day need. You'll hear why “being built for it” doesn't mean it's easy, how universal laws create cleaner momentum, and why next-step planning beats a rigid 12-month blueprint when subconscious programming still needs clearing.We also address the trap of contagions - borrowed ideas from culture that push you to monetize too soon or mistake difficulty for misalignment. Brooke explains how simple yes-no intuition can keep you out of trend spirals and inside your true timing. A powerful case study brings it home: a client immersed in the music industry discovers a gift for reading sound frequency and using it to heal, proof that your environment often trains your calling long before you can name it. Expect practical guidance on visibility and leadership, building sustainable energy so wins don't collapse, and a mindset that treats every detour as precise preparation rather than proof you're behind.If you're craving clarity without burnout, this is your map to alignment you can actually hold. To book a session with Brooke to dive into your soul path, do so here. Support the showJoin Unveiled - The Membership here.

Watch the Q&A session here: https://youtu.be/_HJt1zjecCoThe major environmental challenge of our time is framed in terms of what happens in our atmosphere, and specifically what are called “greenhouse gases”. But what is an atmosphere, and how does it behave? Does the atmosphere vary across the world, and what enters and leaves it normally? This lecture will explore how humanity has taken some things from the air and put other things into it, what the effects have been, and what this means for our future.This lecture was recorded by Professor Helen Czerski on the 22nd January 2026 at Barnard's Inn Hall, London.Dr Helen Czerski is a physicist and oceanographer with a passion for science, sport, books, creativity, hot chocolate and investigating the interesting things in life. She is an Associate Professor at the Department of Mechanical Engineering at University College London and her research focus is the physics of breaking waves and bubbles at the ocean surface. These bubbles change underwater sound and light, help transfer gases from ocean to atmosphere (helping the ocean breathe) and also eject ocean material into the air. She has spent months working on research ships in the Antarctic, the Pacific, the North Atlantic and the Arctic, and is an experienced field scientist. Helen has been a regular science presenter on the BBC for 15 years, covering the physics of the natural world in BBC2 landmark documentaries (including ‘Orbit', ‘Operation iceberg' and ‘Supersenses'), and the physics of everyday life in a range of BBC4 documentaries (including ‘From ice to fire: The incredible science of temperature', ‘Sound waves: The symphony of physics', and ‘Colour: The spectrum of science', along  with many others). She currently co-hosts BBC Radio 4's flagship climate and environment programme Rare Earth. Helen's first book Storm in a Teacup won the Italian Asimov Prize and the Louis J. Battan Author prize from the American Meteorological Society. Blue Machine won the Wainwright Prize for Conservation Writing. She was awarded the Institute of Physics Gold Medal in 2018 for her work on physics communication, and an Honorary Fellowship of the British Science Association in 2020. She has been a Trustee of Royal Museums Greenwich since 2018, and was one of the 2020 Royal Institution Christmas Lecturers, giving her Lecture on the topic of the ocean.

Michael Wolf sits down with Matt Barnard and Matt Amicucci, PhD, the cofounders behind one.bio and its newly launched consumer brand GoodVice, to discuss why they believe the modern food system is broken and why it starts with fiber. The conversation examines the science of dietary fiber as a biological signal and how decades of food processing have stripped those signals. They talk about why most fiber on the market today either doesn't work or creates trade-offs consumers won't tolerate. Barnard and Amicucci explain their new consumer line, GoodVice, which they view as a reference product, why GLP-1 drugs have accelerated awareness of fiber deficiency, and how restoring whole-food signals to everyday products could change the future of metabolic and gut health without requiring discipline, restriction, or sacrifice.

On episode #216 of Boroughs & Burbs, we head uptown to explore one of Manhattan's most intellectually rich and architecturally distinctive neighborhoods: Morningside Heights. Joining us is Pierre Malterre-West and Ella Chavers of Douglas Elliman, who brings deep market insight into a community shaped by world-class institutions, historic prewar buildings, and a growing mix of longtime residents, faculty, students, and buyers seeking value north of Central Park. We discuss how Columbia University, Barnard, Riverside Church, and nearby parks influence housing demand, what types of properties are most sought after, and how pricing compares to neighboring areas. From co-ops to condos and townhouses, Pierre and Ella break down why Morningside Heights remains one of Manhattan's most compelling and misunderstood submarkets.

Grieving is a uniquely human emotion – or is it? Is the apparent attachment of elephants or orcas to the bodies of dead relatives a sign of grief, or simply an instinctive behaviour without emotional implications?

Constable's painting The Cornfield celebrates its bicentenary in 2026. How has it aged? This is a landscape that has acquired iconic status – a marker of national identity -- as a representation of typically English countryside. How has that Englishness been constituted in the painting? And how does The Cornfield (a view of a partly working landscape) speak to current ideas about relationships and tensions between the natural world and the human presence, especially in our age of environmental anxieties?This lecture was recorded by Malcolm Andrews on 20th January 2026 at Barnard's Inn Hall, London.Malcolm Andrews is Professor (Emeritus) of Victorian and Visual Studies, University of Kent.

Send us a textFunders are closing doors, deadlines are tighter, and “spray and pray” proposals aren't landing. We sit down with grant strategist Betty Barnard, President and CEO of Resurgens Impact Consulting, to map a smarter way forward for small and mid-sized nonprofits serving health, human services, and movement-building work. The conversation starts with values—care for communities, clarity of mission, and equity—and moves into the tangible steps leaders can take to secure grants without burning out.We break down what grant readiness truly means in today's climate: two to three years of operations, clean financials, a strong board, and a written budget you can defend. For newer groups, we explore fiscal sponsorship as a credible pathway to capacity. Betty shares why visibility now equals viability and how to align your website, social channels, and GuideStar or Charity Navigator profiles so funders see a consistent story, strong governance, and measurable outcomes.Then we get tactical with specific grant application tips: follow directions to the letter, translate outcomes into the funder's language, use boilerplates wisely and edit hard. Most importantly, build relationships before you submit—because many foundations are prioritizing current or past grantees and moving to invitation-only cycles. A warm outreach can clarify fit, surface timing, and prevent wasted work. We wrap up with a chat about the best way to us AI to support your grant applications.Betty Barnard's BioBett Barnard specializes in creating and supporting the growth of sustainable, smart, innovative organizations and programs through grant seeking, writing, and research.

Geophysicist Stefan Burns and legendary astrologer, psychic, and researcher Barbara Hand Clow join Emilio Ortiz for a historic, first-ever three-way conversation exploring the interstellar object known as 3I/ATLAS — and why the next 72 hours may mark a before-and-after moment for Earth and human consciousness. As 3I/ATLAS approaches Earth during a rare cosmic window, this conversation bridges geophysics, space science, astrology, psychic perception, and consciousness research to unpack what this object may represent beyond conventional comet explanations.In this latest update, Stefan Burns shares geophysical and astronomical insights into 3I/ATLAS, interstellar objects, Jupiter's role in the solar system, and why this flyby is drawing unprecedented attention. Barbara Hand Clow brings a multidimensional perspective, connecting astrology, galactic cycles, consciousness shifts, and humanity's evolutionary timeline. Together, they explore whether 3I/ATLAS could be a catalyst for planetary change, timeline shifts, or a deeper awakening — and why the days ahead matter more than most people realize. This is a conversation about science, psychic insight, cosmic timing, and what may be coming next for Earth.___________________PODCAST CHAPTERS00:00 - Stefans Burns & Barbara Hand Clow Intro4:06 – Experiencing 3I Atlas Viscerally & Energetically4:37 – Prophecy of the Aquarian Age8:37 – Brain Geometry, Dimensions & the Blue Brain Project10:53 – 3I Atlas Trajectory, Solar Wind & Planetary Signatures13:13 – Earthquake Precognition & Humanity's Lost Intuition15:32 – The Great Separation17:46 – Pleiadian Origins & the True History of Humanity22:17 – Campi Flegrei, Super Volcanoes & Media Silence26:01 – Ancient Cataclysms & Comet Impacts29:38 – Is the Catalyst From Earth or From the Cosmos?38:15 – Galactic Center Alignment 42:55 – Planetary Alignments & the Coming Resonance Event43:24 – Precognitive Dreams: Sun–Earth Shock Events45:17 – Sacred Sites, Giza, Nazca & Earth Stabilization49:10 – Precession Cycles & the 2023–2027 Shift51:13 – Science and Consciousness Reunite53:23 – Alien Colonization vs Conscious Seeding55:39 – Jupiter, Galactic Moons & Control of the Solar System57:59 – Asteroid Bennu & the Building Blocks of Life1:00:47 – Mars & Planetary Reprogramming1:06:39 – Mercury–Uranus Relationship1:07:59 – The Canopy of Light Explained1:09:20 – Platonic Solids & Solar System Upgrades1:13:10 – Nuclear Detonations & Planetary Trauma1:15:33 – Preparing to Receive 3I Atlas Codes1:22:20 – Personal Awakenings Triggered by 3I Atlas1:25:57 – Questions for 3I Atlas Itself1:27:48 – Barnard's Star & Future Stellar Flybys___________________Guest(s): Stefan Burns, Geophysicist & Researcher✦ Website | https://www.stefanburns.com/✦ Wild Free Organic | https://wildfreeorganic.com/✦ YouTube | ‪@StefanBurns‬ ✦ Instagram |   / stefanburnsofficial  Guest(s): Barbara Hand Clow✦ Website | https://handclow2012.com/✦ All Books by Barbara | https://handclow2012.com/books/Host: Emilio Ortiz✦ IG |   / iamemilioortiz  ✦ Subscribe to Channel |    / emilioortiz  ✦ Join The Deep Dive Membership | https://iamemilioortiz.com/the-deep-d...Special Offerings to Support the Show:✦ Make a One-Time or Recurring Donation on PayPal

This lecture looks at the 'surreal' art of the Early Netherlandish painter Jheronimus Bosch within its historical and cultural context. Although Bosch's terrifying visions of sin, death, and the hereafter may appear surreal today, especially his highly imaginative depictions of devils, they were tied to the religious attitudes and moralising texts of the period, such as the Ars moriendi, the Dance of Death, and Everyman. It is in this context that one should examine Bosch's Haywain Triptych, Garden of Earthly Delights, and other works.This lecture was recorded by Dr Sophie Oosterwijk FSA on the 10th of December 2025 at Barnard's Inn Hall, London.Sophie is Vice President of The Church Monuments Society and was for many years editor of its journal Church Monuments. Born in Gouda (Netherlands), she is a recognised specialist in Early Netherlandish and Dutch art. After studying English at Leiden and Medieval Studies at York, she obtained two doctorates in Art History (Leicester) and English Literature (Leiden). She previously taught art history at the Universities of Leicester, Manchester and St Andrews.  Since her return to the Netherlands, Sophie has been working as a freelance researcher and guest lecturer for the University of Cambridge, The Arts Society (formerly NADFAS), and other organisations. She has published widely, especially on death, the danse macabre and commemorative art. Her latest book, a co-edited volume entitled Writing, Dancing and Performing Death across Late Medieval Europe, is due to be published by Brill in 2025. The transcript and downloadable versions of the lecture are available from the Gresham College website: https://www.gresham.ac.uk/watch-now/hieronymusGresham College has offered free public lectures for over 400 years, thanks to the generosity of our supporters.

In today's episode of Backpacker Radio presented by The Trek, we're joined by Lucy Barnard. Lucy, along with her pup Wombat, has walked from the southern tip of Argentina all the way through the Great Divide Trail in Canada, and she'll be picking up the final leg of this monster journey — through northern Canada and into Alaska — later this winter. We get into what compelled Lucy to take on such an audacious mission, especially given that she had virtually zero long-distance hiking experience beforehand. She shares some truly wild stories from the trail, including being held at gunpoint by cartel members, what it's been like navigating this trek with a dog in tow, the extra hoops that come with that, the overwhelming kindness she's encountered from strangers along the way, and plenty more. We wrap the show by highlighting a 140-mile in Portugal that belongs on your bucket list, how a thru-hiker staple might be giving us all mercury poisoning, movies we definitely don't recommend, the triple crown of embarrassing foods, and the lazy person's guide to making your own dehydrated meals.  Gossamer Gear: Check out the Type II collection at gossamergear.com.  Ka'Chava: Get 10% off at kachava.com/backpacker.

The High-Risk Sealing Expedition of the Nanina Eric J. Dolan Left for Dead: Shipwreck, Treachery, and Survival at the Edge of the World Sealing was a lucrative industry, particularly for the China market, valued for its high-quality fur seal pelts and elephant seal blubber. Charles Barnard, a veteran sealer, proposed a high-risk expedition on the brig Nanina to the Falkland Islands, which Murray and Son backed despite the impending War of 1812. Many merchant vessels remained in port, but Barnard and Murray viewed this as an opportunity to meet pent-up demand. Barnard's crew included four captains, notably diarist Barzillai Pease, and his 63-year-old, infirm father, Valentine Barnard, who was meant to captain the Nanina on its return voyage to New York laden with cargo. They departed from New York just as an embargo took effect. 1833 FALKLANDS

The Collapse of the Humanitarian Deal and Barnard's Abandonment Eric J. Dolan Left for Dead: Shipwreck, Treachery, and Survival at the Edge of the World Charles Barnard offered the British castaways a humanitarian deal: he would transport them to South America in exchange for salvage rights to the Isabella wreck. Although the British learned the War of 1812 had commenced, they accepted the terms. However, one of the British captains, Brooks, secured a rescue mission from Buenos Aires commanded by Lieutenant William Peter Danda aboard the HMS Nancy. Danda was driven by the prospect of personal financial gain offered by the prize system and disregarded the Americans' humanitarian assistance to British citizens. Danda seized the Nanina as a prize of war, imprisoned most of the American crew, and deliberately marooned Barnard and a hunting party who were ashore gathering food for the castaways.

The Fight for the Nanina and Charles Barnard's Return to the Sea Eric J. Dolan Left for Dead: Shipwreck, Treachery, and Survival at the Edge of the World Barnard and his party survived 534 days in wretched conditions, primarily thanks to their sizable dog, Scent, who hunted wild hogs. When rescued by British whale ships and taken to Lima, Peru, Barnard regretfully gave Scent to a British whaling captain, believing the dog deserved a better life than an arduous two-year voyage home. Barnard returned home bankrupt, but Murray and Son successfully appealed the prize court's initial decision. The court ultimately sided with the Americans, awarding them the value of the brig—a ruling Danda resented for the rest of his life. Though initially vowing to quit the sea, Barnard resumed sealing and later became a port warden and light ship captain, publishing his account in 1829.

Prize Greed and the Abandonment of Barnard Guest: Eric Jay Dolin Charles Barnard offered the British castaways a humanitarian deal: rescue them in exchange for salvaging the Isabella. This accord was shattered when HMS Nancy, commanded by Lieutenant William Peter D'Aranda, arrived. D'Aranda, seeking personal fame, immediately disregarded the agreement, prioritizing personal financial gain through the prize system, which was widely viewed as "semi-piracy." D'Aranda seized the Nanina as a prize and declared the Americans prisoners of war. Crucially, D'Aranda callously abandoned Barnard and four others (including three British) who were ashore hunting food for the entire group. Marooned for 534 days, Barnard's survival hinged on the help of his dog, Cent, who was vital for hunting powerful, four-tusked wild boars.

Commerce, Conflict, and the High-Risk Sealing Voyage Guest: Eric Jay Dolin Left for Dead is set during the War of 1812, documenting a collision between young America and Britain in the contested Falkland Islands. The narrative begins with the highly lucrative sealing commerce, which involved gathering millions of seal skins and sea otter pelts for sale primarily in China. American sealer Charles Barnard proposed a high-risk voyage aboard the brig Nanina to Murray and Son, aiming to exploit the projected pent-up demand due to reduced competition. Despite the imminent war, they left New York Harbor just as an embargo was placed. The crew included Barnard's elderly, infirm father, Valentine, who was intended to sail the initial cargo back to New York. The presence of four experienced sealing captains among the crew, including diarist Barzillai Pease, created a potential "recipe for disaster."

Charles's Return and the Fate of the Prize Guest: Eric Jay Dolin Barnard and his marooned men were eventually rescued by two British whaling ships and taken to Lima, Peru. Before starting his arduous, uncertain two-year return journey to New York, Barnard regretfully gave his beloved dog, Cent, who was critical to their survival, to a British whaling captain, believing Cent would have a better life. Barnard returned home virtually bankrupt, having signed a $5,000 bond. The "lawfare" over the Nanina eventually concluded when Murray and Son successfully appealed the prize court's initial decision favoring D'Aranda. Murray and Son received payment for the brig's value, leaving D'Aranda with nothing. Though initially vowing to quit the sea, Charles returned to sealing, later becoming a port warden, and published a book about his experiences in 1829.
