The 365 Days of Astronomy, the daily podcast of the International Year of Astronomy 2009
Dr. Al Grauer hosts. Dr. Albert D. Grauer ( @Nmcanopus ) is an observational asteroid hunting astronomer. Dr. Grauer retired from the University of Arkansas at Little Rock in 2006. travelersinthenight.org From March 2026. Today's 2 topics: - 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. - Astronomers using the 8.1 m Gemini South Telescope in Chile were excited by the fact that 467P (LINEAR-Grauer)'s Centaur like orbit had been changed as the nucleus emitted rocket like bursts of gases as it was warmed by the Sun. Inert inactive asteroids orbit the Sun following the law of gravity whereas active asteroids can emit little rocket like bursts of gas which can change their path about the Sun in interesting ways. It is important to study objects like 467P (LINEAR-Grauer) to make sure their path about the Sun doesn't change to make them a threat to our home planet.

Originally published as Episode 230 — this conversation has only become more relevant since. Michael Barnard is a climate futurist who builds decade-by-decade projections of the energy transition through 2100. He doesn't claim to be right. He claims to be less wrong than most. In this episode: why hydrogen demand will fall, not rise — and why the narrative that sustained it for a decade is now collapsing. We also cover Pakistan's 22 gigawatt rooftop solar surprise, battery swapping for two and three-wheelers, containerized batteries sailing fully charged from China to Rotterdam, and why V2G is a rounding error for 90% of the world. The 2035 hydrogen study from Sweden's RISE Institute says it all: hydrogen won't pencil out for road transport — anywhere. Denial is also a river in Egypt.

Are ultra-processed foods really as unhealthy as we've been told? New research suggests the answer may be more complicated than the headlines make it seem. Dr. Neal Barnard joins Chuck Carroll on The Exam Room Podcast to break down findings showing that much of the health risk linked to ultra-processed foods may be driven by two specific categories: processed meat and sugar-sweetened beverages. That means foods like bacon, sausage, ham, bologna, pepperoni, hot dogs, and soda may be doing much of the heavy lifting when it comes to increased disease risk. But what about breakfast cereal? Plant-based burgers? Vegan snacks? Olive oil? Cheese? Steak? And what about studies linking ultra-processed foods to cognitive decline and dementia risk? Dr. Barnard helps separate nutrition fact from fiction and explains what really matters when you're reading a food label.

"When you look at where families invest across the spectrum of sustainable and impact investing, climate is really at the forefront. They think about that because, look at our environment, look at the food supply… because of environmental issues. Not withstanding the tariffs too….These are issues that have to be segmented and families are doing the work and they're putting their capital in…(F)amilies really are more and more values aligning their investments, and there's a blurring (of the) line between philanthropy and catalytic investing so that they can invest in climate and do things in all their active portfolios. So I feel like this is just going to increase over time in a pretty significant way." Jolyne Caruso on Electric Ladies Podcast The great wealth transfer of $124 trillion will flow into the hands of women, Millennials and Gen Zrs over the next 30 years, and these are hands that value climate, clean energy, sustainability and social causes more than their forebears. What impact might that have? Listen to Jolyne Caruso, Financial Executive, Investor and Wealth Advisor in this enlightening conversation with Electric Ladies Podcast host Joan Michelson. You'll hear about: ● How women tend to donate and invest differently than men do and why. ● Impact and climate-related investing the way women, Gen Z & Millennials do it. ● New spins on "risk" and "reward" & why financial literacy is crucial. ● What the great wealth transfer is and how it could dramatically affect the economy. ● Plus, career advice, such as: "One of the things that I recommend women do, Joan, is to join boards as soon as they can. And I'll tell you why. When I was at Barnard, I was very involved as a student in my class. I was reunion chair and raising money for my class. But it wasn't until I got on the alumni board at Barnard, which led to getting on the big board at Barnard when I was 40 years old, that my life fundamentally changed….This isn't about giving a hundred thousand dollars to your alma mater that you don't have. It's finding boards that will all take women of all ages…My daughter's on the board of a dog rescue company, organization. Get on a board and sit around the table and become a change agent in that regard….Because you network, you get hands-on experience without being at work."

Historical SignificanceIn Georgia, a Webster County posse pursued Susan and Enoch one hundred twenty-five miles to Coffee County, Alabama. The grand jury indicted both on May 27, 1872 — twenty-three days after the murder. Enoch's trial lasted a single day; the jury deliberated for three minutes. Both were sentenced to death on May 30. Twenty-six days from murder to death sentence. The Georgia Supreme Court denied Susan's appeal in *Eberhart v. State* 47 Ga. 598 (1873), with Justice H.K. McCay dismissing calls for mercy. Governor James M. Smith refused clemency four days before Susan was to die.Sheriff L.R. Barnard traced the Potts family over five hundred miles to Rock Springs, Wyoming, arresting the couple on February 16, 1889. Josiah Potts claimed Fawcett had killed himself after sexually abusing their daughter Edith, then approximately five years old. The abuse allegation was never investigated. The jury deliberated four hours — unanimous guilty verdict. Two hundred sixty-seven residents of Carlin petitioned the state board of pardons to commute both sentences to life imprisonment. The board refused. Sheriff Barnard himself opposed the execution.The Investigations and TrialsCase B — Georgia (1872): On May 4, 1872, after ten o'clock at night, Enoch Spann strangled his wife Sarah with a plow line, breaking her neck. According to his confession, Susan Eberhart held a handkerchief over Sarah's mouth at his command. Susan maintained she had been asleep and was compelled to participate under direct threat from a man who had already attempted murder twice — including a staged buggy accident where Susan had pulled Sarah from a swollen creek to save her life.Case A — Nevada (1888): Miles Fawcett entered the Potts household on New Year's Day to collect a debt and leverage knowledge of Elizabeth's bigamous marriage in Fresno, California. He was never seen alive again. His remains — charred, dismembered, buried in pieces throughout the cellar floor — were discovered on January 16, 1889, by the new tenant George Brewer. The only identifying object: a fragment of burned trouser pocket containing Fawcett's pocketknife.The CrimesSarah Spann was approximately fifty years old. She had lost a leg and lived as an invalid in a one-room log cabin inWebster County, Georgia, dependent on her husband Enoch for everything. A Confederate veteran whose own fellow soldiers had described him as "very ignorant and very imbecile, Enoch Spann was the man she was married to and the man who killed her.Miles Fawcett was born around 1830 near Manchester, England. He came west following the railroad, settling in Carlin — a Central Pacific division point established in 1868 with a population of roughly eight hundred. Fawcett worked a small ranch outside town. He kept to himself, known well enough that his pocketknife was recognized on sight but private enough that neighbors called him "Old Man Fawcett" and left it at that. He was fifty-seven when he disappeared.The VictimsNew Year's Day, 1888. A fifty-seven-year-old English carpenter named Miles Fawcett walks into a house on Silver Street in Carlin, Nevada, to collect a debt. He never comes back out. For a full year, the town absorbs his absence. When a new tenant probes the cellar floor and pulls up what he takes for a rotten turnip, it turns out to be a charred, decapitated human head. The woman who lived above that cellar — Elizabeth Potts — would become the only female ever legally executed in the state of Nevada. Meanwhile, in post-Civil War Georgia, an eighteen-year-old named Susan Eberhart is sent to cook and wash for a one-legged woman in a one-room cabin. Within days of her arrival, the man of the house begins telling her how he intends to kill his wife. Susan once waded into a swollen creek to save that woman's life. She would be convicted of helping to end it.Season 40: America's 250th Anniversary. Fifty states, fifty crimes, two hundred and fifty years of history. This double-feature covers Nevada and Georgia — two women sentenced to hang, separated by seventeen years and two thousand miles, connected by a question neither court could answer.This EpisodeThis episode contains discussions of murder, execution by hanging, domestic violence, sexual coercion, and dismemberment.

Watch the Q&A session: https://youtu.be/gj4d75_ClggIn this lecture, we look at proposals to limit AI powers and impacts, so bad outcomes are outweighed by social benefits from the technology. I'll explain design processes (such as Human-Centred AI and Responsible AI) and technological approaches for AI system qualities like trustworthiness, explainability and “human in the loop”. We will explore how we, as individuals, can use AI based systems in discerning ways; and look at what governments can do to help their citizens thrive in an AI-future.This lecture was recorded by Professor Matt Jones on the 21st of April 2026 at Barnard's Inna Hall, LondonMatt 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. He is a member of the Foreign and Commonwealth Development Office's Research Advisory Group and Welsh Government's AI reviews.The transcript and downloadable versions of the lecture are available from the Gresham College website: https://www.gresham.ac.uk/watch-now/ai-tamingGresham College has offered free public lectures for over 400 years, thanks to the generosity of our supporters.

World-renowned New York Times bestselling author, professor, researcher, activist, and musician, Neal Barnard, MD, of Physicians Committee for Responsible Medicine, has spent decades studying how nutrition and lifestyle choices can support the body's natural hormonal balance. It's important to understand how food, stress, and daily habits interact with the endocrine system. When we do, we can begin to see that many hormone-related struggles may be more responsive to change in those areas than we once believed. Dr. Barnard will share how the body naturally regulates hormones and empowers us to make choices that support balance, vitality, and long-term health.

Eric J. Dolan concludes as Barnard and his men were finally rescued after a grueling year and a half by two Britishwhaling ships. Barnard returned to New York bankrupt, but a legal battle over the Nanina eventually resulted in American compensation while D'Aranda was left with nothing. Encouraged by friends, Barnard published his harrowing account in 1829. Dolan emphasizes the significance of focusing on "average people" whose experiences are often lost to history, recreating the endurance of these mariners through journals and logs. (4)1892 FALKLAMDS
Eric J. Dolan explores the lucrative sealing industry of the early 19th century, where millions of pelts were harvested for the Chinese market at five dollars each. Against the backdrop of the looming War of 1812, risk-taker Charles Barnardand his 63-year-old father Valentine departed New York on the brig Nanina, timing their exit just as an embargo was being implemented. The presence of four different captains created a volatile leadership dynamic, setting the stage for a dramatic collision between young America and Great Britain at the "edge of the world."

I attended a Sustainability Summit for the music industry hosted by Martin Guitar back in the fall of 2025. It was a great day of panels, Q&A and networking that includes musicians, manufacturers and support organizations all seeking to make the industry a bit more green, sustainable and less negative impact to the earth.While there, I was able to listen to Ben Kogan speak on one of the panels, and share how "easy" it was to make certain decisions for hosting live music festivals that would be much better for the environment. And so I approached him during one of the breaks and asked him if he'd come on the show to talk about it, and perhaps help improve the No Planet B Jamboree's overall impact.His organization Reusable Solutions and moreso Musicians for Sustainability help work with event organizers in key areas and if they establish certain benchmarks can become a certified festival at varying levels - which we've been able to achieve!Tune in as we learn about Ben's music journey, the inspirations behind the nonprofits he's formed, and we talk through the process of getting a festival certified.

Left for Dead: Shipwreck and Treachery in 1812 5 sources·11 April, 2026These sources detail a harrowing historical account from Eric J. Dolan's book, Left for Dead, which recounts a true story of shipwreck and betrayal in the Falkland Islands during the War of 1812. The narrative centers on Charles Barnard, an American sealing captain who attempted to rescue the survivors of the wrecked British ship Isabella, only to be betrayed by the Britishdue to the maritime prize system. Despite Barnard's humanitarian efforts, a British officer named Lieutenant D'Aranda seized Barnard's ship as a prize of war, subsequently marooning a small hunting party on the desolate islands for over 500 days. The texts highlight the extreme survival tactics employed by the abandoned men and emphasize the critical role played by Barnard's dog, Scent, in their hunt for food. Following their eventual rescue, the story concludes with a lengthy legal battle over the captured vessel and the publication of Barnard's personal memoirs. Overall, the sources examine the collision of international conflict and personal greed against the backdrop of an unforgiving wilderness.1. Guest Author: Eric J. Dolin. Dolin discusses his book *Left for Dead*, detailing the lucrative 19th-century sealing industry and the *Nanina's* high-risk 1812 voyage. Captain Charles Barnard and his veteran father, Valentine, led a crew from New York to the Falkland Islands, gambling on high demand for skins despite the looming war. (1)1839 Falklands
3. Guest Author: Eric J. Dolin. Charles Barnard rescues the *Isabella* castaways, but British Lieutenant D'Aranda betrays him, seizing the *Nanina* as a prize of war. D'Aranda abandons Barnard's hunting party, who survive 534 days in wretched conditions. Their survival is largely credited to Barnard's heroic dog, Scent, who hunted wild hogs. (3)1890 FALKLANDS
4. Guest Author: Eric J. Dolin. After their eventual rescue, Barnard regretfully leaves his dog, Scent, with a Britishcaptain for a better life. Returning to New York bankrupt, Barnard and the ship's owners successfully appeal the seizure of the *Nanina*. Barnard later published his memoirs in 1829, documenting his incredible ordeal.

How to Activate the "Ozempic" Effect without a GLP-1 Rx with guest expert Dr. Neal BarnardWeight loss after 40 isn't a willpower issue—it's a food signaling issue. In this episode, I sit down with Dr. Neal Barnard to unpack why midlife weight gain happens and how you can finally eat right for your biology. Once you understand how certain foods talk directly to your metabolism, appetite hormones, and fat-burning machinery, the entire game changes.This episode is about moving beyond the deprivation mindset of "eating less" to explore how to lose weight without ever counting a single calorie.We're talking real science and food that actually tastes good. From why berries beat calorie counting to how fiber literally "traps" calories and carries them out of your body, we are diving deep into the Power Foods strategy. Dr. Barnard explains how plant-based meals naturally stimulate GLP-1—the same satiety hormone targeted by drugs like Ozempic and Wegovy—allowing you to turn off your appetite without needles or side effects. This is a must-listen for women who want to feel strong, lean, and fully alive now and at 80.What You'll Learn in This Episode:The Biological Pivot: Why traditional calorie restriction backfires in midlife and what works instead.Calorie Trapping: How fiber acts as a literal "sponge" to remove approximately 100 calories per day as waste.The Three Fat-Loss Mechanisms: How to activate appetite control, calorie trapping, and a metabolism boost simultaneously.Natural GLP-1: Why plant-based fiber and healthy complex carbs are the exact signals your satiety cells are looking for.The Twin Study: The mind-blowing research linking berries to 9% less abdominal fat, even in genetically identical twins.Thermogenesis Hacks: How cinnamon, chili peppers, and specific spices increase your calorie-burning speed.The Power 6 Foods: The top foods proven to support sustainable weight loss, including berries, melons, and cruciferous veggies.Habit Retraining: Why weight-loss drugs fail to retrain eating habits and how food can bridge that gap.The 21-Day Transition: How to move gently into a Power Foods lifestyle without overwhelm or perfection.Longevity Benefits: Why this approach reduces cancer risk, supports joint health, and reverses diabetes markers.About Our Guest Expert:Dr. Neal Barnard, MD, FACC is an adjunct professor of medicine at the George Washington University School of Medicine and President of the Physicians Committee for Responsible Medicine. His research focuses on the role of nutrition in weight loss, diabetes reversal, hormonal health, chronic pain, and cancer prevention. He is the author of multiple bestselling books, including The Power Foods Diet, and has led NIH-funded clinical trials that are reshaping how we understand metabolic health.Instagram/Twitter: @DrNealBarnardFacebook: @NealBarnardMD****************************************Why clean clothes with toxic cleaners?

In this lecture, we glimpse our best selves and compare that to a world where we lose everything of ourselves to AI. We are glorious creations that revel in agency, freedom and creativity. What do innovations such as cars that don't need us to drive and creative AIs that remove the effort of, say, writing or music making mean in this context? Further, with a future being forged by limited perspectives, how can human diversity inform better AI for all? This lecture was recorded by Professor Matt Jones on the 17th of March 2026 at Barnard's Inna Hall, LondonMatt 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.
