Sleep isn't just rest - it's your body's most extraordinary healing mechanism. Every night, regardless of what you've eaten or how you've treated your physical vessel during the day, your cells engage in a remarkable process of renewal and forgiveness. Unlike cars, phones, and other machines that deteriorate over time, we humans have this built-in reset button that allows us to wake up renewed and restored.This podcast delves deep into the contrast between pharmaceutical approaches to hormone-related conditions and nature's more balanced alternatives. Aromatase inhibitors like letrozole, commonly prescribed to postmenopausal women with hormone-sensitive cancers, come with a staggering array of side effects affecting joints, bones, cognition, and mood. Meanwhile, research from the Journal of Biological Chemistry shows that phytoestrogens from plants like soy selectively trigger beneficial estrogen receptor pathways while avoiding harmful ones - a level of sophisticated targeting that pharmaceutical options can't match.The discussion challenges numerous health misconceptions propagated by mainstream medicine. Did you know that Japanese people consuming traditional diets take in over 100 times more iodine than the FDA recommends, yet have lower cancer rates and longer lifespans? Or that wearing bras 24/7 restricts lymphatic flow and correlates with increased breast cancer risk? These inconvenient truths highlight how conventional medical wisdom often ignores or contradicts available research.Perhaps most powerful is the paradigm shift offered regarding chronic disease. Rather than viewing conditions like cancer as invaders to be bombed with aggressive treatments, we're encouraged to understand them as adaptive responses by cells to unfavorable conditions.

The launch of Girls in SciTech in Luxembourg last week is a movement aimed at empowering girls to pursue careers in Science, Technology, Engineering & Maths. The Girls in SciTech campagin, coordinated by Professor Serge Haan, brought together high school students, university alumni, industry professionals, and political leaders, all united to tackle the gender imbalance in STEM fields. How can we encourage more young female minds to take up the ‘hard' sciences rather than just the ‘soft' sciences (life sciences, medicine, biological sciences etc.)? Indeed one can even question the words attributed to the sciences here. The State of Women in STEM: A Statistical Snapshot Despite incremental progress, women remain underrepresented in STEM, particularly in senior roles. According to Eurostat, 41% of all scientists and engineers in the European Union were women in 2022. The figures are consistently lower for maths, physics, computer science and engineering, varying from country to country. Philippe Hiligsmann, Vice-Rector for Academic and Student Affairs at the University of Luxembourg, underscored the importance of the campaign: “This is more than an event; it is a movement to change things by motivating and inspiring girls to pursue a career in science.” A Powerful Group of Role Models The event featured a panel of inspiring women from diverse STEM backgrounds, who shared their own personal journeys and ideas: - Hania Tayara, Programme Leader at Native Scientists - Marie-Alix Dalle, Environmental Engineer at ArcelorMittal - Prof. Serge Haan, Full Professor in Biological Chemistry, University of Luxembourg - Laurence Lampecco, Analyst Developer at POST Luxembourg - Prof. Skerdilajda Zanaj, Full Professor in Economics, University of Luxembourg - Marie-Louise Uwizeye, Chargée d'études at Administration de la gestion de l'eau - Monika Zlopasa, Investment Fund Risk Manager at UBS Luxembourg Stéphanie Obertin, Minister for Research and Higher Education in Luxembourg, captured the essence of the event's message when she said, “It's about transforming our society by empowering women in STEM fields. The unique perspectives and ideas they bring to the field enhance problem-solving and spark innovation.” The Challenges: What's Holding Girls Back? The panelists identified several key barriers that contribute to the gender gap: Stereotypes and Gender Roles: From an early age, girls are exposed to stereotypes that suggest STEM is not for them. Many girls are told, either overtly or subtly, that they are not as good at math or science as boys. These messages, often reinforced by parents, peers, and teachers, can impact their self-confidence and limit their aspirations. As Prof. Skerdilajda Zanaj pointed out, “It's not that girls don't like science, it's that they are taught to believe it's not for them.” Lack of Role Models: The absence of female role models in STEM fields further discourages girls from pursuing these paths. Research shows that girls are more likely to enter STEM fields if they see women succeeding in them. “For every 10 Google queries asking, ‘Is my daughter gifted?' there are 25 asking, ‘Is my son gifted?'” said Marie-Alix Dalle, an alumna of the University of Luxembourg and an Environmental Engineer at ArcelorMittal. The lack of female role models in leadership positions can make it harder for girls to imagine themselves succeeding in science. Parental Biases: Parents often unconsciously reinforce gendered expectations. Research has shown that girls are less likely to be encouraged to pursue STEM subjects, particularly in math and technology. This parental influence can have long-term effects on girls' academic choices and self-perception. Workplace and Family Balance: Women in STEM often face the additional challenge of balancing their careers with family life. Marie-Louise Uwizeye, an engineer and mother of three, shared her experience of working in engineering while raising children: “If you really want to do it, you can. I am a mother of three children, I have a PhD, and I am working full-time. Don't excuse yourself—this is your right.” Despite the challenges, she emphasized that women can thrive in STEM, even as mothers. Breaking the Barriers: Solutions and Strategies To address these barriers, the panelists discussed various strategies that can help increase the number of girls in STEM, especially in leadership positions: Increased Representation of Women in Senior Roles: One of the critical points raised during the discussion was the importance of seeing women in senior positions within STEM fields. Not only do these role models inspire the next generation, but they also demonstrate that leadership in STEM is achievable for women. “We need to increase the representation of women in science at senior levels to show young girls that it's possible to rise to the top,” said Hania Tayara. Studies show that having female mentors or professors increases the likelihood that girls will continue to pursue STEM studies and careers. Changing Course Content: Many panelists emphasized the importance of making STEM content more relevant to girls. As Marie-Alix Dalle put it, “Enough talk about cars!” In order to engage more girls, science education must reflect a broader range of interests and real-world applications. “Science should resonate with girls as well,” she added, advocating for curricula that connect STEM to real-world issues like climate change, healthcare, and technology. Mentorship and Support Networks: Several initiatives are already in place in Luxembourg to support girls in STEM. For example, mentorship programs, such as those offered by Native Scientists and the University of Luxembourg, help guide girls through the uncertainties they may face when applying to university or entering STEM fields. Laurence Lampecco, an analyst developer at POST Luxembourg, shared her personal experience of mentorship and the crucial role it played in her journey: “Having someone who believes in you makes all the difference.” Challenging Societal Norms: Finally, the discussion underscored the importance of challenging the societal norms that dictate what careers are “appropriate” for men and women. By showcasing the success stories of women in STEM, through media and other platforms, we can shift perceptions and inspire young girls to see these fields as viable career paths. As Monika Zlopasa, a Risk Manager at UBS Luxembourg, pointed out, “We miss out on complementary skills and points of view when we don't have women in STEM. It's not just about representation—it's about making work better, more innovative, and more inclusive.” Moving Forward: A Collective Effort The Girls in SciTech event marked an important milestone in the effort to close the gender gap in STEM. But as the panelists emphasized, real change requires a collective effort from all sectors of society. From parents and teachers to industry leaders and policymakers, everyone has a role to play in creating a more inclusive environment for girls in STEM. Yuriko Backes, Luxembourg's Minister for Gender Equality and Diversity, stated, “When young girls see women excelling in STEM fields, it serves as an inspiration. It shows them that they too can achieve success in these areas.” By continuing to promote mentorship, support networks, and initiatives like Girls in SciTech, we can ensure that the next generation of STEM leaders includes a balanced representation of both women and men. In the end, the journey towards gender equality in STEM is just beginning. With sustained commitment, collaboration, and advocacy, we can create a world where girls in science are not the exception—but the norm.

“Cell division is fundamental to the growth of every living thing and when it goes wrong and is out of control this is the basis for all cancers and understanding this process is important,” explained Sir Paul Nurse. When it comes to understanding the fundamentals of cell division and the cancer connection, Sir Paul is a world-renowned expert and pioneer. He was awarded the Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine in 2001. In this podcast, he explained the ideas that sparked his ground-breaking research and how his findings gave scientists around the world the insight and tools they needed to develop advanced cancer therapeutics such as immunotherapy. Sir Paul is adept at explaining his work and the complexities of science in easy-to-understand language, combined with his keen intellect, modesty and a warm sense of humor. He's someone you will enjoy spending time with. As a young scientist, Sir Paul said he knew there would be a lot of ups and downs, and he was determined “to study something important and what is more fundamental than the process that is the basis of all growth … I didn't do this to cure cancer, but to understand the principles behind dividing cells and I thought by understanding this it would have implications for cancer and other diseases.” Sir Paul, director and chief executive of the Francis Crick Institute in London, was recently in Columbus as the recipient of the 26th Annual Herbert and Maxime Block Memorial Lectureship Award for Distinguished Achievement in Cancer. In addition to delivering a lecture, the Block Lectureship includes a mentor/mentee collaboration between Sir Paul and Li-Chun Tu, PhD, an Ohio State and OSUCCC-James assistant professor in the Department of Biological Chemistry and Pharmacology. Dr. Tu joined the second half of this podcast, and described her work in genetics. Sir Paul and Dr. Tu look forward to working together. “I truly believe he will give me such good advice,” Dr. Tu said.

Episode 9 of the DNA Papers discusses a set of papers by the first scientist who made a sustained effort into uncovering the secret behind specificity of nucleic acids. The principle author, Erwin Chargaff, a European-American biochemist from Columbia University in New York, determined that the relative rations of the four nucleotide bases—A, T, G and C—were not present in all DNA in equal amounts as widely assumed, but rather, that they varied in proportion from one to another, with the amount of the A and G bases being equal to the T and C bases respectively. Furthermore, he also demonstrated that the ratio of these amounts was specific and consistent for a given species. He first laid out his vision for determining the role of nucleic acids in 1947, and over the next decade or so, proceeded to probe the finer details of DNA chemistry with the then state-of-the art innovations in techniques such as chromatography and UV spectroscopy. Papers discussed include: Chargaff, Erwin. “On the Nucleoproteins and Nucleic Acids of Microorganisms.” Cold Spring Harbor Symposia on Quantitative Biology 12 (January 1, 1947): 28–34. https://doi.org/10.1101/SQB.1947.012.01.006.

Michigan State University Interim President Teresa K. Woodruff elaborates on some of the topics she covers in her May 2023 Spartan Community Letter, which you can read by clicking on the communications tab at president.msu.edu. Could you start by reflecting a bit on commencement? And it was cool to see you with the tiny mic going around Breslin Center talking to some of our grads.“Oh, it was so exciting, and I'd never known that tiny mic was a thing. I got to talk to a lot of students, and the really neat thing was to just see their spirit and their enthusiasm. They were excited for that beautiful graduation day. One of the things I did, Russ, is to ask them about their favorite places on campus, and they ranged from the front of Cowles House to the frog pond south of the tracks. I had a couple of people who told me about the frog pond, which I quite love as well, to places for meditation and places that they had been for their classes. It was a wonderful representation of the students love for this campus and this place.”Placemaking is the theme in this month's community letter. How do you define placemaking?“I'm reading William Beal's book on the founding of MSU, and it really is about place and about that place where people could come and learn. This is a place that remains a natural wonder, and we really want to protect the learning, living environment that is the campus. People gain wholeness and in fact in this last semester, of course, healing out of this campus and our campus places. So, the key for us is to really think about those spaces and places and how the new buildings are situated within that larger ethos of a place that is restorative but continues to evolve, and that's what our campus is doing right now. It has the ability to accommodate the new evolution of the way in which we're thinking and learning and doing while really holding fast and true to that beauty and that living, learning environment where we gather when we walk between those places and spaces.”Talk about the freestanding multicultural center that we touched on last month, and what are some of the other facilities on the horizon?“The groundbreaking for that multicultural center was so exciting with standing room only and a lot of folks pitching in to throw that first scoop full of sand to get that process going. And boy, they're going fast over there. In addition, we have the dairy and greenhouses. Those are really teaching and learning facilities that we must have to enable the very best teaching within agriculture, which is our founding and necessary for the state of Michigan. We also are working on our digital innovation center, or EDIC, and this is a place where we'll rebuild what it means to do engineering and digital innovation, scholarship and learning, and bring six colleges together. It's inverting the model of having individual colleges. We're bringing colleges together in this new model.“Our new greenhouses are housing National Academy of Science members working on the scientific discoveries that could really sustain us and sustain this population into the future. We have the Student Recreation and Wellness Center that's going to replace the IM West facility, and folks are really excited about that on this campus.”MSU's annual research and development expenditures grew to almost $760 million in fiscal year 2022. How are some of those funds going towards placemaking?“These new buildings and facilities are going to house new faculty and students, and it's in those facilities that we'll be able to continue our upward trend and upward reach to the heights of research expenditure across not only the Big Ten, but literally in the nation.”Our placemaking extends beyond the East Lansing campus to places like Flint, where you recently visited.“I had the greatest time in Flint, and I really enjoyed that Norm Beauchamp and Aron Sousa were with me when I visited our Charles Stewart Mott Foundation work that's happening there with Mona Hanna-Attisha. We are building a new community partners and research facility there that's really exciting. I met some of the kids who are in that Flint downtown area and they are really excited about Michigan State University. I think I admitted a couple of six-year-olds or maybe even one that's about four years old. So, just full disclosure, Russ, we've got some Flint kids that are coming to MSU in 2042, and I'm already excited to welcome them.”We have the very first philanthropically named department in MSU's history with the Charles Stewart Mott Foundation Department of Public Health.“Public health is so critical as we saw through the COVID context and will continue to have an important way of enlivening the research we do. And particularly in Flint, we're really thoughtful about public health not just being about what MSU researchers think we ought to do and then go do. This is a completely different model where during my visit we had all our community partners who are active participants in the work, folks who then say, ‘Well, this is what we need to know.' In many ways, what we're doing in Flint in health is what we've done in Extension in agriculture. We've really asked for and then developed the partnership that enables the best kind of thinking and therefore the best kind of work, and it's that positive productive cycle that is so exciting in Flint and across all of Michigan.”You also recently had some opportunities to recognize and celebrate the achievements of our amazing staff and faculty.“The key for me is that Michigan State has been celebrating its employees for nearly half a century. This is not a new one off. This is a place that really values every single individual who is part of this whole ecosystem, and I don't think there's anyone who thinks they themselves are above and beyond each other. Whatever part we play within this orchestra that is Michigan State University, we play our parts as well as we can. And in the end, it's a beautiful symphony.”Ensuring the safety of university community members is another vital element of MSU's placemaking for wellbeing. You were recently pleased to welcome a new vice president for civil rights and Title IX education and compliance, Laura Rugless. Tell us about Laura and her important role.“Laura comes from Cornell. She's a veteran and brings an incredible sense of the ways in which we need to focus on prevention and the ways we respond to actual discrimination and sexual violence and misconduct. The folks that I talked with think of her as an ethical people-driven leader. I shared with her this morning that on my computer is a little yellow sticky that says, ‘Today is my favorite day.' I offered to her that every day at MSU is my favorite day, no matter what comes. And I offered that hopefulness and that positivity to her. She embraces MSU, and I'm excited for what her leadership will bring to campus.”You have a bit of a travel advisory for Spartans and others visiting camping this summer.“We've got some traffic detours. As you traverse the campus, you'll have to make some detours, but it's really wonderful. I really like the terrestrial cranes. There are a lot of cranes that are building some of our new buildings, but you'll also see cranes going overhead as we did over graduation; they were headed north. Cranes in the air and cranes on the land really represent the natural and physical beauty of this campus. I invite people to come in this summer. Come to Summer Circle Theatre. Come to just walk in the Beal Garden. Come to see the frogs in the frog pond on the south side of the tracks. There are just so many great places to be and to be present within this great and storied institution.”Results of research you and your husband Tom O'Halloran worked on were recently reported in the Journal of Biological Chemistry. The research looked at the role of zinc in follicle development and how scientists use X-ray beams to determine the role of zinc in development of ovarian follicles. “It represents some profound biology. Before Tom and I collaborated - he was an inorganic chemist, and I'm a reproductive scientist - we collaborated on an area no one had ever thought to look at. We found that the egg, just before fertilization, takes up 20 billion zinc atoms. If it doesn't take up that amount of zinc atoms over a 12-hour period of time, it can't progress to fertilization and then onto an embryo. At the time of fertilization, the zinc is exported from the egg in this big explosion we call the zinc spark. “That zinc spark means that the subordinate sperm cannot actually then come in and have what's called polyspermy. Nobody knew any of this before that work. Tom and I with my last graduate student, Alison Tange, did some work to look at the very earliest stages of follicle development. We used one of the most sophisticated microscopes in the world at Argonne National Labs that Tom actually helped build in order to really look at the zinc and all the other metals in these early follicles. It really was the perfect bridging of new technology and this biology. Again, nobody would've looked for these signatures of life except for that interaction, and it really is just some of the most exciting discoveries that basically happens to all of us at the first moment of conception. I'm just really excited that it has been published.”What are your final thoughts as we really dive into the summer.“I'm excited for everyone to come back to this great campus. The Red Cedar is beautiful, and the trees are in full bloom. During graduation, I think every tree on campus was in peak. MSU is a wonderful place to live and work. I think back on our history of 168 years and know that we are preserving our storied historical campus, but continuing to evolve with what we need to ensure the next generation of students has that great experience that so many have had in the past.”Listen to “MSU Today with Russ White” on the radio and through Spotify, Apple Podcasts, and wherever you get your shows.

PARKINSON'S! The term alone is enough to scare a lot of old people out there. It is something that affects lots of people and a lot of men every year. Today we're joined by Jack Jacobs, PhD, President and Chief Science Officer Zhittya Genesis Medicine, Inc. Las Vegas. And we talk about the work they've been doing to treat Parkinson's with their FGF 1 drug. Jacob educates us about Parkinson's on what it is, how it affects our body and what they've been doing to treat it. He also tells us about the tests they've been doing and fortunately, they've been seeing positive results there. All this and a lot more in today's interview. Let's jump right in. Go to www.thestandard.academy/getmagazine to become one of the first to get my digital magazine for free that'll help you create a kick-ass life. Dr. Jack Jacobs President and Chief Science Officer Zhittya Genesis Medicine, Inc. Las Vegas, NV Dr. Jacobs received his Ph.D. in Molecular Biology from the Washington University School of Medicine, St. Louis where he worked in the lab of Ralph Bradshaw, PhD which was the first lab to isolate and characterize the growth factor, FGF-1. After graduating, he worked at Merck & Co. where he started the Department of Biological Chemistry and was part of the scientific leadership team at Merck. Later, he joined Daniel Montano at CardioVascular BioTherapeutics as their Chief Scientific Officer where he oversaw FDA-authorized clinical trials in which human FGF-1 was tested in a number of medical indications, including coronary artery disease and diabetic foot ulcers. He also supervised all manufacturing activities of FGF-1 for use in the clinical studies. With Zhittya Genesis Medicine, Dr. Jacobs is continuing his efforts on the clinical development of human FGF-1 for a number of medical indications, including neurodegenerative diseases such as Parkinson's disease and ALS (motor neuron disease) What is Parkinson's Disease Parkinson's is a progressive, neurodegenerative disorder. In other words, Parkinson's is a lifelong condition that affects the brain and symptoms will get worse over time. Parkinson's happens when cells in the brain that produce dopamine stop working or die. Dopamine is a neurotransmitter, which is a chemical that sends messages between nerve cells or between nerve cells and muscle cells to help the body function. Dopamine plays many roles in the body and affects both physical and mental function. The cardinal symptoms of Parkinson's are resting tremor, rigidity, slowness of movement (also called bradykinesia) and feeling unsteady and having difficulties with balance (also called postural instability). Because these symptoms are related to movement they are called "motor symptoms" and Parkinson's is classified as a "movement disorder." However, we now know that Parkinson's also causes "non-motor symptoms." These symptoms include constipation and other gastrointestinal issues, urinary problems, mood changes, sleep disturbances, memory and thinking (cognitive) deficits, sexual problems, excessive sweating, vision problems, and loss of smell or taste. Non-motor symptoms may appear many years before the motor symptoms that eventually lead to a diagnosis. A bit about me (Dr. Orest Komarnyckyj): Dr. Orest Komarnyckyj enjoyed a prestigious career as a periodontal regenerative surgeon moving to a new passion in June 2018. He retired after a 33-year career to pursue new passions. At 69 Dr. Orest has taken on a new role as an Interviewer, Podcaster and government-certified Old Guy. He streams from his new home in Las Vegas, NV. He lives with his wife of 29 years, Oksana. His status as an empty-nesters with two out of college-employed children has left him with time and energy to share decades of successes, failures, and wisdom.

The Green Repeal - A Guide to Cannabis Marketing & Advertising
With so many new markets coming online in the next few years, there are more people than ever before looking for help with permitting, licensing, and everything else that comes with launching a business in a highly regulated industry. When they need that help, they turn to people like today's guest, Dr. Sherry Boodram. She's the CEO and co-founder of CannDelta–a regulatory and scientific consulting company that helps clients navigate both the cannabis and psychedelic industries. Dr. Boodram and her team provide regulatory compliance advice to operate in the legal Canadian markets, and they also provide support to international jurisdictions, including the U.S. Before launching CannDelta, she was actually a part of the Canadian federal government, serving as Health Canada's Medical Cannabis and Controlled Substances Programs' Senior Regulatory Compliance and Enforcement Officer. She holds a Ph.D in Chemistry, an honorary B.S. in Biological Chemistry, and certificates in Cannabis Law and Regulation as well as Pharmaceutical Regulatory Affairs and Quality Operations. In this conversation, Sherry walks us through the hoops and hurdles facing people looking to break into the cannabis and psychedelics industries, the mistakes so many people make while trying to ensure that they're operating legally, and the key differences between the established Canadian and emerging American markets. KEY TAKEAWAYS The most common mistakes that people make when trying to get cannabis licenses. Why Shelly transitioned out of government to launch CannDelta–and what she's focused on now. The unique benefits of working with someone who knows Canada's industry so well for anyone planning a launch in a state like New York or New Jersey. Why medical approvals for psilocybin in a number of states are more likely to happen now than ever before. Why social equity has to be such a big part of the American cannabis story–and how Canada failed to integrate First Nations peoples into its legalization.
