In this episode, Mark talks with Aaron Mueller about his experiences with modeling instruction. They talk about getting students to think like scientists, questioning one another, and using both inductive and deductive reasoning. They talk about the connection between NGSS and modeling instruction and about some of Aaron's tips for new teachers and book recommendations. Guest Aaron Mueller Aaron Mueller is a 7th grade Science Teacher in Naperville, Illinois. He has been teaching for 26 years and began Modeling in 2012-13. Through his career, he has taught middle and high school science. Aaron has experience with modeling workshops in Biology, Mechanics, and Middle School. Highlights [5:19] Aaron: "So students that are, ELL to having a 504 IEP, gifted even, their sets of languages are so different. However, modeling can bring them together really easily through observation, inferencing, gathering evidence, explaining the evidence, drawing." [17:10] Aaron: "I feel like a way to describe NGSS is like that framework or backbone and modeling to me is that key to turn it on and let it go."

We have all had those nights where we lie in bed, exhausted, yet we cannot stop scrolling through a relentless stream of negative news on our phones. We often feel guilty about this, thinking we just lack willpower, but the truth is that doomscrolling is not a moral failing—it is a biological trap. In this episode, we are going to explore the evolutionary psychology behind why our brains crave bad news, and more importantly, how to break the trance so you can reclaim your attention and protect your inner peace.

Huxley is an example of having a good attitude about publicly acknowledging errors and learning from them. He earned the nickname “Darwin’s bulldog” for his very vocal support of Darwin’s work, and he wanted to promote science and education, particularly to people that didn’t normally have access to those things.

Ooooh look out... this one is going to make your brain itch! This week I'm joined by the incredible evolutionary psychologist Professor Steve Stewart-Williams as we dive balls deep into one of the most fascinating, misunderstood and polarising conversations out there... sex differences. What evolution itself might have to say about why men and women are different? Where does biology end and culture begin? And why do these conversations make people so uncomfortable? Are we really just arguing with millions of years of evolution without even realising it? Lots of interested questions to ponder here... and if we can just manage to put our bias's aside for a second, it makes for a much more compelling chat! I also hit Steve up for his take on dating, attraction, masculinity, femininity, parenting, ADHD, gender identity, workplace differences, consent, mental health, and why understanding human nature isn't actually about 'limiting people'... it's about understanding ourselves a lil' better. You don't have to agree with everything... which is kind of the point. But if you're curious enough to question your own assumptions, I reckon you're going to LOVE this one.

About 130 days a year, a research vessel leaves Miami and sets out to catch, measure, sample, tag, and release sharks in Florida's coastal waters. Over the course of a year, they'll encounter about 600 animals in a process called “fisheries independent monitoring,” an effort to gather data on sea creatures that isn't skewed by changes in fishing procedures, equipment, or regulations.  Marine conservation biologist Catherine Macdonald leads the lab behind that effort. She joins Host Flora Lichtman to talk about shark conservation, share stories from her research, and spread shark joy.  Guest: Dr. Catherine Macdonald is a marine conservation biologist and director of the Shark Research and Conservation Program, part of the Rosenstiel School of Marine, Atmospheric, and Earth Science at the University of Miami.

In this episode of Maximize Your Hunt, host Jon Teater discusses the complexities of land management and hunting strategies. He shares insights from a recent master class, emphasizing the importance of understanding property design and management. The conversation transitions into soil management, nutrient balancing, and the benefits of seed treatments for better germination and plant health. The episode concludes with a discussion on breaking down residual materials to enhance soil health and nutrient availability. In this conversation, the Brad Harper and Jon Teater delve into the importance of enhancing soil biology for improved crop growth, effective management of switchgrass stands, and the significance of live biology in soil health. They also discuss the benefits of foliar applications for plant health, emphasizing the need for a holistic approach to agriculture that prioritizes both plant and soil health. Takeaways The involvement required to optimize a property is complex. Master classes can provide eye-opening insights into property management. A strong connection with your land enhances the management experience. Soil samples are valuable for determining nutrient needs. Seed treatments can significantly improve germination and plant health. Liquid biology seed treatments can enhance nutrient availability. Balancing soil nutrients can reduce costs and improve yields. Breaking down thatch layers is crucial for soil health. Biological products can speed up the decomposition of organic matter. Understanding soil biology is essential for effective land management. Adding decomposers can significantly speed up nutrient availability. Proper management of switchgrass is crucial for healthy stands. Live biology in soil can enhance crop growth and health. Foliar applications can provide nutrients directly to plants. Soil health is a slow process that requires consistent effort. Feeding existing soil biology can improve overall soil health. Using live bacteria can temporarily boost soil populations. Foliar feeding is effective regardless of soil conditions. Reducing reliance on traditional fertilizers can be beneficial. Understanding the source of soil products is essential for success.

Send us Fan MailGHK-Copper and peptides in skin care, aging, and general health.TOPICS DISCUSSED:Endogenous Decline: GHK-copper levels peak in young adulthood then fall with age, reducing natural support for skin repair and collagen maintenance.Skin Penetration: Effective topical delivery depends on molecular size under and fat solubility, often improved by procedures such as microneedling that briefly disrupt the barrier.Mechanisms of Action: The peptide upregulates fibroblasts and vascular endothelial growth factor, stimulates glycosaminoglycan production, and alters expression of genes involved in tissue regeneration and oxidative stress reduction.Lasting Remodeling: Gene expression changes produce sustained collagen rebuilding that develops over weeks to months rather than delivering only transient effects.Administration Routes: Topical use is accessible and pairs well with hyaluronic acid for hydration; injectables may reach higher local concentrations but lack extensive human trial data and FDA approval for this purpose.Safety & Protocols: The compound is generally well tolerated with mild transient injection-site reactions; typical approaches use daily microgram doses for one to two months followed by off periods.Hair & Other Uses: Clinical observations indicate potential for hair shaft strengthening comparable to minoxidil with a favorable side-effect profile, alongside exploratory work in wound healing and neurological contexts.Research Needs: Expanded human studies are required to standardize dosing, confirm long-term safety, and evaluate value in neurodegeneration, lung repair, and related areas.ABOUT THE GUEST: Rahi Sarbaziha, MD is a physician in Beverly Hills, California whose practice focuses on regenerative aesthetics, hormone therapies, peptides, and interventions that support vitality, tissue repair, and overall wellness.Support the showSupport my work:Good Chemistry: Personalized, science-based health consulting.

Before you proceed, I  want to warn you, that this episode does contain graphic content that some may find disturbing. Vivace is a very bright woman who received her undergraduate and graduate degree in Biology from Cornell University. She worked in the medical field for twelve years before becoming  a speaker and life coach. My guest explains that "my mother was my BFF and she lives for her children." This was all terribly hard because Vivace always wanted her mother "to feel  valued and honored yet she was at the bottom of everyone's totem pole." Unfortunately, the abuse toward she and her mother started when Vivace was very young and continued until both women left the family, leaving behind the two sons as they chose to remain with their father. Yet, Vivace recalls asking her mother on a regular basis  "can we leave today, can we leave today" but it was years before they left.  From a young age, Vivace would confront her father verbally about the abuse, but her bravery came with a price.  With $100 in their pocket, both women left the horrific beatings behind and found shelter with family members who unfortunately knew of the abuse, but never came to Jaleh's rescue. Through many years of depression, pain, anger, resentment and a planned suicide,  Vivace began her healing process through therapy, research and seeking the truth.  She uses her past experience as a tool to help her clients improve their self worth and confidence through compassion and understanding. Ultimately, the client has to realize that the possibilities are limitless.     Website:https://fierceselfconfidence.com Instagram: @vivacemaxvictor YouTube:https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCNiDk4sN1vUlYOrQ_gg8mDA About Vivace:  MEDIA Vivace was most recently featured on NETFLIX' “Buying Beverly Hills” – which was one of NETFLIX Top 10 shows when it aired Vivace has also been featured on: Bravo's Million Dollar Listing NY Fox Business Fox Nation CourtTV Newsmax Media commentator on celebrity relationships and scandals such as Tom & Gisele, Brad and Angelina, Alec Baldwin, Joe Rogan, Simone Biles, Johnny Depp and others.

What if our obsession with “dangerous” sun is killing us?If you (recklessly) leave your urban office for lunch, you are told to yank your hat down low. If you (again, recklessly) let your kids dash into the backyard, you are told to slather them in sunscreen—or learn to live with the guilt.And yes, sun avoidance undoubtedly prevents some skin cancers, including the deadliest type, melanomaBut a recent study suggests sunlight contributes to hundreds of thousands of deaths every year in the United States alone—orders of magnitude more than the estimated 8400 annual US melanoma deaths.In this episode, we discuss evidence linking sun avoidance toalmost a million annual deaths in the US and Europe alone, exceeding the number caused by global military conflictsbreast, pancreatic, colon, and lung cancers, as well as heart disease, high blood pressure, and stroketo INCREASED risk of death in those diagnosed with sun-induced melanoma.Yes, you read that right; some melanoma deaths may be related to too little sunlight.  (But do understand that this is complex--sunlight DOES cause melanoma. Well, some melanomas....)We also discuss why supplementing with vitamin D pills fails to remedy these terrible conditions, and what a thoughtful person can do instead, while staying safe.We hope you enjoy this episode, and that it helps you enjoy the sun again--thoughtfully, of course. References and further reading:  Sunlight: Time for a Rethink?Benefits of oral Polypodium leucotomas extract in MM high risk patients (This is an ingredient in Life Extension's Shade Factor, mentioned in this episode by Dr. Gordon). Uses of Polypodium leucotomos Extract in Oncodermatology  Calzari et alInsufficient Sun Exposure Has Become a Real Public Health Problem.

Lisa Ressler has spent more than 35 years working in science-based businesses, including DuPont and Evonik, and now serves as Chief Commercial Officer at Amyris. In this conversation, she joins Karl and Erum to discuss where Amyris stands today, what the company learned from Chapter 11, and why returning its focus to B2B science was the right move. Lisa explains the company's 1.5 million-liter fermentation facility in Barra Bonita, Brazil, its partnership with Wacker to develop bio-based personal care ingredients, and the simple framework she uses to decide which markets are worth pursuing. She also shares what it takes for a bio-based ingredient to move beyond higher “green” pricing and reach large-scale commercial use, making the case that strong performance is ultimately what convinces customers.Grow Everything brings the bioeconomy to life. Hosts Karl Schmieder and Erum Azeez Khan share stories and interview the leaders and influencers changing the world by growing everything. Biology is the oldest technology. And it can be engineered. What are we growing?Learn more at ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠www.messaginglab.com/groweverything⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Chapters:(00:00:00) - Introduction and catching up after the Fourth of July(00:05:00) - Soil health, regenerative agriculture, and current biotech trends(00:10:00) - Biomanufacturing in China and the global race for scale and speed(00:15:00) - Meet Lisa Ressler, Chief Commercial Officer at Amyris(00:19:00) - What Amyris produces and how it works with partners across the supply chain(00:24:00) - Amyris's return to B2B and what enterprise customers want after Chapter 11(00:31:00) - How Amyris and Wacker collaborate from research through development(00:37:00) - Proprietary molecules and how Amyris chooses which markets to pursue(00:41:00) - Exploring Amyris's molecule portfolio, from squalane to vaccines(00:48:00) - The future of precision fermentation and quick-fire questionsLinks and Resources:AmyrisLisa RoesslerAmyris' sustainable squaleneAmyris, Inc. Launches New Production Line at Brazil Precision Fermentation PlantWACKER and biomanufacturing pioneer Amyris join forces in the personal-care sector179. D.C. Climate Week LIVE: The Road to Remake Everything183. The American Biotech Blueprint: Senator Todd Young on Biodiversity as National Security73. At the Bleeding Edge: Cresilon's Joe Landolina on Rapid Wound Care141. Gut Check! Viome's Momo & Guru Decode Your Inner Microbiome158. Mycelium On, Sound Off: How GOB's Lauryn Menard Makes Biomaterials Feel Like CultureSilvaBio and Foray Bioscience Announce Acceleration to Restore the American ChestnutCommon Ground - agriculture documentarySiphonophore - longest animalBioInnovations Events - For 25% off use code: Grow EverythingTopics Covered:precision fermentation, Amyris, squalane, sustainable beauty ingredients, bio-based chemistry, PFAS alternatives, industrial biotechnology, synthetic biology, vaccine adjuvant squalene, green chemistryHave a question or comment? Message us here:Text or Call (804) 505-5553⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Instagram⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ / ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Twitter⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ / ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠LinkedIn⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ / ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Youtube⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ / ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Grow Everything⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Music by: Nihilore Production by: Amplafy Media

We've been warned that the sun is dangerous... but what if that advice is leaving out half the story? In this episode of the Align Podcast, Jonathan Jarecki challenges the fear-based narrative around sunlight and explains how light exposure may influence hormones, vitamin D, skin health, and our biology. Jonathan and Aaron question common claims about sunscreen, sunglasses, sunburn, red light therapy, and sun gazing, while examining how modern indoor living may be weakening our relationship with natural light.

The first person has been treated with a highly anticipated new gene therapy that aims to turn back the clock on ageing cells. The trial is aimed at retinal cells, with the hope that encouraging them to behave as if they were young again could improve sight in the affected patients. If it proves to be safe, it could open the door to a whole raft of therapies based on the emerging field of cellular rejuvenation. To understand more about this cutting edge research, Madeleine Finlay hears from science editor Ian Sample and from Paul Knoepfler, professor of cell biology and human anatomy at the university of California, Davis..

"Geometry is the cilantro of math. People are not neutral about it," says Jordan Ellenberg. The mathematician is aware not everyone loves math like he does. But his book is not about the kind of geometry some people feel intimidated by. It's about geometry as a way of thinking. As a method of reasoning and argument. And as a system for making sense of the world. *This episode originally aired on May 11, 2022.Guest in this episode:Jordan Ellenberg is a mathematician is a child prodigy. He scored a perfect 800 on the math portion of his college entrance exams — the SAT's — at the age of 12. He's a Guggenheim Fellow, a Harvard graduate, and a professor of mathematics at the University of Wisconsin-Madison. He's also the author of Shape: The Hidden Geometry of Information, Biology, Strategy, Democracy, and Everything Else.

Send us Fan MailBlood-brain barrier as a dynamic interface allowing selective passage of nutrients, peptides, and gut hormones.TOPICS DISCUSSED:Blood-Brain Barrier Structure: Capillary endothelial cells with tight junctions, absent fenestrae, and minimal vesicles create a selective interface; supported by astrocytes and pericytes.Crossing Mechanisms: Lipid-soluble small molecules diffuse passively; glucose, amino acids, and regulatory peptides use saturable transporters whose rates vary by need.Peptide Transport: Many peptides cross via lipid solubility or specific transporters; rate, not all-or-none presence, determines biological relevance; efflux systems remove some (e.g. certain enkephalins).Dynamic Regulation: Transporters for leptin and insulin are modulated by epinephrine, triglycerides, and brain demand; changes occur in aging and Alzheimer's (reduced glucose uptake, impaired Aβ efflux).Circumventricular Organs: Leaky capillary regions allow rapid sampling of blood signals while tanycytes limit spread to surrounding brain tissue.Drug Delivery Challenges: Small lipid-soluble drugs, barrier disruption (e.g. focused ultrasound), and “Trojan-horse” strategies each have limitations; intranasal delivery shows rapid brain distribution.Peptides & Brain Effects: Gut peptides like GLP-1 analogs, insulin, and ghrelin influence cognition and memory; brain entry predicts central effects.GUEST: William Banks, MD is a physician-scientist and leading researcher on the blood-brain barrier. He has focused on humoral brain-body communication, peptide transport, and the barrier's role in health and disease.RELATED CONTENT:M&M 298 | GLP-1s & Novel Peptides in Obesity, Diabetes & Metabolic Health | Katrin SvenssonSupport the showSupport my work:Good Chemistry: Personalized, science-based health consulting.

Isle Royale is one of the least visited of America's National Parks. Located in the northwest corner of Lake Superior, it's a tough place to get to.  Access is only by seaplane, ferry or private boat. But once visitors do come, they are likely to return. Karen Bacula has been coming to this remote island since 1997. As a teacher, she also brought students to explore this unique archipelago of islands. Now, retired, she volunteers as director of Michigan Tech's Isle Royale Institute and coordinates Moosewatch volunteers, helping people take part in fieldwork that supports the world's longest-running predator-prey study. In this episode of the Lake Superior Podcast, Walt Lindala and Frida Waara talk with Karen about citizen science, wilderness learning and the lasting pull of Isle Royale.Quotes:“What connected me and made me want to just keep coming back was the beauty, the quiet, the simplicity, but yet incredibly complex whole area of what was there being surrounded by the lake. And many of the people I met were just absolutely wonderful.”“The power of the island, the power of the lake, the serenity, but also realizing that at the drop of a hat, the weather can change. So there's predictability and uncertainty in every step that you take. And I like that feeling.”“There's something special and new about it each time and getting to see the changes.”“We're looking for dead moose and looking for the condition of the skeleton to see what the moose age-wise, health-wise was like, potentially how it died.”“It becomes very cross-curricular at all different grade levels. But they all come out with the big excitement being to learn how the study's done and to learn the field techniques for collecting data for this study.”“Two things I tell them to pack that are not necessarily on the gear list is their patience and sense of humor.”“Work to bring some of what you just felt right now with the people you met and living as close to the earth as you can live, bring some of that back with you and hold on to that.”Helpful links:Learn more about the Wolf-Moose Project:isleroyalewolf.orgLearn more about joining a Moosewatch expedition:isleroyalewolf.org/volunteer-moosewatchLearn more about Moosewatch for Educators:isleroyalewolf.org/moosewatch-for-educatorsLearn more about Isle Royale wolf-moose population dynamics:isleroyalewolf.org/population-dynamicsLearn more about supporting the research through the Wolf-Moose Foundation:wolfmoosefoundation.orgLearn more about the Northern Moose Alliance: moosealliance.org Plan a visit to Isle Royale National Park:nps.gov/isro/planyourvisit/index.htmConnect with us:Lake Superior Podcast Page: https://nplsf.org/podcastFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/NationalParksOfLakeSuperiorFoundationSponsors:Cafe Imports – Minneapolis-based importers of specialty green coffees since 1993, focused on sustainability.

"Everyone gets cancer five times a day — your body already knows how to take care of it." Sam Bertram is the co-founder and CEO of OnePointOne, the vertical-farming company behind the Willo brand. With his brother John (CTO), Sam is building fully automated indoor farms — powered by AutoStore robotics, AI, and precision LED light — that grow nutrient-dense produce in about 15 days, with no soil and no sunlight. But the vision goes far beyond salad: using plants as living factories to manufacture pharmaceutical-grade molecules (like monoclonal antibodies) at a fraction of today's cost, and eventually "closing the loop" on human nutrition — food grown to your own blood work. *Reduce your risk of Alzheimer's with my science-backed protocol for women 30+: * https://go.neuroathletics.com.au/yout...

Scientists often talk about the importance of flora and fauna to the health of our planet, but Dr Toby Kiers, an evolutionary biologist and founder of the Society for the Protection of Underground Networks, wants us to consider another force: fungi. Her work charting the planet's vital underground systems has earned her numerous awards, including a MacArthur fellowship and a Tyler Prize for Environmental Achievement (sometimes called the ‘green' Nobel). She tells Ian Sample about her work mapping fungal networks on the remote Palmyra Atoll in the Pacific Ocean, and what the research reveals about fungi's often invisible role.
