Okay, so I'll just say right at the top that my guest today is NOT a parenting expert. He is, however, a neurodivergent researcher, educator, author, and thinker who has some fascinating things to share about helping our kids energize their brains, spark ideas, and ignite action. Dr. Jeff Karp was that young kid who struggled greatly in school because of his learning disabilities, but when a tutor during the summer after second grade asked him this question – how did you think about that? – everything for him changed. He began to be more self-reflective. By thinking about thinking and how he approached learning, he was able to explore and create tools and systems to help him reach his goals both in school and in daily life. Jeff is still thinking about thinking today, and shares his ideas in his fascinating book, LIT: Life Ignition Tools: Use Nature's Playbook to Energize Your Brain, Spark Ideas, and Ignite Action. ​​After I read his book, I wanted to bring him on the show because he embodies so much of what we talk about here at Tilt – encouraging our kids to understand how their brain works, get curious about their own strengths and gifts, and figure out ways to “hack themselves” so they can design lives that allow them to play to those strengths. As a child, Jeff developed ways to navigate school and life that were based on his curiosity, passion, creativity, and connection to nature. Over the years, he's evolved his approaches into LIT (Life Ignition Tools) and wrote this book to share them with the rest of the world.   About Dr. Jeff Karp Dr. Jeff Karp holds the Distinguished Chair at Brigham and Women's Hospital and is a Professor at Harvard Medical School and MIT. He is an elected fellow of the National Academy of Inventors, Royal Society of Chemistry, American Institute for Medical and Biological Engineering, Biomedical Engineering Society, and the Canadian Academy of Engineering. Specializing in bioinspired medical innovation, Dr. Karp leads a research lab focused on harnessing lessons from nature. He has published over 165 peer-reviewed papers with more than 34,000 citations and has delivered nearly 400 invited lectures. He holds over 100 patents, and his lab's technologies have led to the formation of thirteen companies. His notable innovations include a tissue glue for sealing holes in a beating heart, targeted therapies for osteoarthritis and Crohn's disease, smart needles, a nasal spray that neutralizes pathogens, and immunotherapy approaches for cancer. Dr. Karp is also dedicated to mentoring the next generation of bioengineers. He has received multiple mentoring awards, and 30 of his trainees have secured faculty positions.   Things you'll learn How self-reflection and “thinking about thinking” can lead to transformative experiences and strategies for learning and focus What LIT (life ignition tools) is and how they can be used to support positive shifts and movement How being intentional in your actions and reawakening your senses can deepen your experiences What the LEB (low energy brain) dimmer switch is and how it helps regulate energy levels Why being aware of “bothered awareness” can become a motivator How practicing cycling through your senses helps one connect more deeply with the world and tap into your powerful biology   Resources mentioned Dr. Jeff Karp's author website Dr. Jeff Karp's KarpLab website LIT: Life Ignition Tools: Use Nature's Playbook to Energize Your Brain, Spark Ideas, and Ignite Action by Dr. Jeff Karp Jeff's TEDx Talk Insight Outside: Harnessing Nature's Secrets Jeff's TEDx Talk: Turning Failure into Success: 3 principles of Radical Simplicity Switch: How to Change Things When Change is Hard by Chip and Dan Heath Brian Stevenson / Equal Justice Initiative Transcendental Meditation Learn more about your ad choices.

Joining me today is Jay Couey PhD, here to discuss the ongoing COVID-19 illusion, the many and varied dangers of the COVID injections, and the very serious risk of blindly following the consensus (scientific or otherwise) instead of considering all possibilities and coming to your own conclusions. We also review the overlap of nanotechnology with this conversation, focusing on the lipid nanoparticles within the injections, and discuss the possibility of there being more to these lipids than we have been told.  !function(r,u,m,b,l,e){r._Rumble=b,r[b]||(r[b]=function(){(r[b]._=r[b]._||[]).push(arguments);if(r[b]._.length==1){l=u.createElement(m),e=u.getElementsByTagName(m)[0],l.async=1,l.src="https://rumble.com/embedJS/u2q643"+(arguments[1].video?'.'+arguments[1].video:'')+"/?url="+encodeURIComponent(location.href)+"&args="+encodeURIComponent(JSON.stringify([].slice.apply(arguments))),e.parentNode.insertBefore(l,e)}})}(window, document, "script", "Rumble");   Rumble("play", {"video":"v4c2pcc","div":"rumble_v4c2pcc"}); Source Links: GigaohmBiological's Videos - Twitch (50) Gigaohm Biological Archive Gigaohm Biological (27)

In this episode of Align Podcast with Gerald Pollack, we talk all about the different types of water and whether water can have memory. Gerald tells us about the ‘fourth phase' of water and how this relates to the research between water and DNA. We also discuss how important easy water is for us and how this can increase the energy in our bodies. We question everything we know to be true about water and whether what we have been taught by textbooks is truly accurate.  Gerald Pollack received his PhD in biomedical engineering from the University of Pennsylvania in 1968.

During her training, she was supported by the NSF GRFP, a Fulbright Fellowship, and a Whitaker Scholarship. Her laboratory studies the role of fluid flow in tissue homeostasis and disease with a specific focus on cancer and neurological disorders. She uses tissue engineered cell culture models, in vivo imaging methodology, and computational modeling to explore the nature and impact of interstitial fluid flow on cells and tissues. In 2016, Dr. Munson was awarded the Rita Schaffer Young Investigator Award from the Biomedical Engineering Society, and in 2017, she was awarded the Cellular and Molecular Bioengineering Young Innovator Award. In this episode, we learn from Dr. Munson about the importance of exploring new and exciting opportunities in your early academic career, as well as balancing life and work as an early career faculty starting up a new research group.

Dr. Gerald Pollack joined us on the podcast today to talk about his book called The Fourth Phase of Water: Beyond Solid, Liquid, and Vapor. During this show with Dr. Gerald Pollack we talked about primarily water and how water effects our health. It's interesting because water much like light, magnetism and digestion is largely not understood. It's my contention that we know less than 1% of water, light, magnetism and digestion. I don't think we have a clue as to what's really going on inside the body. I don't think we understand how water, light, magnetism and digestion actually impact the body. It might be hundreds of years before we even have a grasp on these subjects. With that said, we know A LOT. But we do know that there are 3 generally accepted states of water which are solid, liquid and gas. But what if there's a 4th phase of water? What if plasma was a state? What can we do to create this kind of water in our bodies? Should we drink acid water, alkaline water, structured water, distilled water, ionized water, spring water, well water or just tap water? There are so many kinds of water it's confusing? Should we filter the water or can we drink regular tap water and can we make phase 4 water out of that? Lots of interesting ideas here with Dr. Gerald Pollack that we talked about. Thanks for listening and sharing with your friends on social media if you enjoyed it! :) One Last Thing!

Andy and Dave start with COVID-related AI news, and efforts from the Roche Data Science Coalition for UNCOVER (the United Network for COVID-19 Data Exploration and Research), which includes a dataset of a curated collection of over 200 publicly available COVID-19 related datasets; efforts from Akai Kaeru are included. The Biomedical Engineering Society publishes an overview of emerging technologies to combat COVID-19. Zetane Systems uses machine learning to search the DrugVirus database and information from the National Center for Biotechnology to identify existing drugs that might be effective against COVID. And researchers at the Walter Reed Army Institute of Research are using machine learning to narrow down a space of 41 million compounds to identify candidates for further testing. And the IEEE hosted a conference on 9 July, “Does your COVID-19 tracing app follow you forever?” In non-COVID-related AI news, MIT takes offline the TinyImages dataset, due to its inclusion of derogatory terms and images. The second (actually first) wrongful arrest from facial recognition technology (again by the Detroit Police Department) comes to light. Appen Limited releases its annual “State of AI and ML” report, with a look at how businesses are (or aren’t) considering AI technologies. Anaconda releases its 2020 State of Data Science survey results. And the International Baccalaureate Educational Foundation turn to machine learning algorithms to predict student grades, due to COVID-related cancelations of actual testing, and much to the frustration of numerous students and parents. Research from the Vector Institute and the University of Toronto tackles analogy and the Raven Progressive Matrices with an ensemble of three neural networks for objects, attributes, and relationships. Researchers at the University of Sydney and the Imperial College London have established CompEngine, a collection of time-series data (over 24,000 initially) from a variety of fields, and have placed them into a common feature space; CompEngine then self-organizes the information based on empirical properties. Garfinkel, Shevtsov, and Guo make Modeling Life available for free. Meanwhile, Russell and Norvig release the not-so-free 4th Edition of AI: A Modern Approach. Lex Fridman interviews Norvig in a video podcast. And the Elias Henriksen creates the Computer Prophet, which generates metaphors from a database of collected sayings.
