Hosted by Mike Simmons. - Mark Neyrick, cosmologist and research scientist at Blue Marble Space Institute, explains the cosmic web of galaxies and matter, and how this large-scale structure mirrors branching structures in nature, like trees and rivers. He discusses the artistic and educational method of using origami and tactile models to teach complex cosmological concepts, making science more accessible and memorable.   - Origami models make cosmic webs tangible! By folding paper and fabric, Mark illustrates how dark matter forms cosmic filaments, offering a hands-on approach to understanding the universe's structure.   Mike Simmons is the founder of Astronomy for Equity ( https://bmsis.org/astro4equity/ ).

Childhood cancer survivor Hayley Arceneaux and three other American civilians went to space in 2021. They travelled in a mission called Inspiration4 for the private company SpaceX.童年癌症幸存者海莉·阿尔塞诺和另外三名美国平民于2021年进入太空。他们参加了私人公司SpaceX的名为Inspiration4的任务。The four-member crew made history as the first all-civilian team to orbit Earth. But they also provided the most detailed data ever on the effects of space travel on the human body.这四人组成的团队创造了历史，成为首个全平民绕地球轨道飞行的团队。但他们还提供了迄今为止最详细的太空旅行对人体影响的数据。New research based on this data details changes in the brain, heart, muscles, kidneys, skin, immune system and stress levels. The research also provides information on the activity of cell structures called mitochondria in zero-gravity, increased radiation, and other changes experienced in space travel.基于这些数据的新研究详细描述了大脑、心脏、肌肉、肾脏、皮肤、免疫系统和压力水平的变化。研究还提供了有关在零重力状态下细胞结构线粒体活动、增加的辐射以及太空旅行中经历的其他变化的信息。More than 95 percent of the health changes, or biomarkers, returned to normal levels in the months after the crew returned to Earth. But some abnormalities, including in the mitochondria continued, the researchers said. But the data suggested that spaceflights - at least short-term trips – are not big health risks.研究人员表示，在船员返回地球后的几个月里，超过95%的健康变化或生物标志物恢复到了正常水平。但一些异常情况，包括线粒体的异常仍然存在。但数据显示，太空飞行——至少是短期旅行——并不是很大的健康风险。"We did not see anything that was worrisome, thankfully," said Chris Mason. He is a professor of physiology and biophysics at Weill Cornell Medicine in New York who helped lead the research. The studies were published Tuesday in Nature and other journals.“幸运的是，我们没有发现任何令人担忧的事情，”克里斯·梅森说。他是纽约威尔康奈尔医学院的生理学和生物物理学教授，帮助领导了这项研究。这些研究于周二发表在《自然》和其他期刊上。Mason added that there was evidence of brain stress during the mission, which has also been found in previous studies.梅森补充说，在任务期间有证据表明大脑受到了压力，这在以前的研究中也有发现。Mason said this might be explained by findings in experimental mice flown to space. The mice experienced disruptions in the blood-brain barrier, a layer of cells protecting the brain.梅森说，这可能通过飞往太空的实验鼠中的发现来解释。这些小鼠经历了血脑屏障的破坏，血脑屏障是一层保护大脑的细胞。Brain function was not affected, Mason noted.梅森指出，大脑功能没有受到影响。Arceneaux is a doctor's assistant at St. Jude Children's Research Hospital in Memphis, Tennessee, and the mission's medical officer. Her three crewmates, two men and one woman, were monitored before, during and after the flight. They went through extensive testing and provided blood, saliva and other bodily materials.阿尔塞诺是田纳西州孟菲斯圣犹达儿童研究医院的医生助理，也是这次任务的医疗官。她的三名队友，两男一女，在飞行前、飞行中和飞行后都进行了监测。他们进行了广泛的测试，提供了血液、唾液和其他身体材料。The research also included information from 64 astronauts who had longer stays on the International Space Station (ISS) and other missions. Inspiration4 flew at about 590 kilometers above Earth, higher than the ISS. That means the crew faced higher radiation levels.研究还包括来自64名在国际空间站（ISS）和其他任务中长期逗留的宇航员的信息。Inspiration4在距地球约590公里的高度飞行，比国际空间站更高。这意味着船员面临更高的辐射水平。The beginning of a "second Space Age" led by private space travel companies has increased the demand to understand health risks, says Afshin Beheshti. He is with the Blue Marble Space Institute of Science in Seattle, Washington, and helped lead the research.华盛顿州西雅图蓝色大理石太空科学研究所的Afshin Beheshti说，私人太空旅行公司引领的“第二个太空时代”的开始增加了了解健康风险的需求。他帮助领导了这项研究。Researchers consider the amount of time in space to be an important factor in the health effects.研究人员认为，太空中的时间长度是健康影响的一个重要因素。The longer the time in space, “the greater the increase in health risks observed," Beheshti said.Beheshti说，太空时间越长，“观察到的健康风险增加越大”。Beheshti added the data detailed the major effect of spaceflight on mitochondrial and immune function.Beheshti补充说，数据详细描述了太空飞行对线粒体和免疫功能的主要影响。The “new findings indicate that microgravity and space radiation systematically affect the body, leading to dysfunction at the cellular level that impacts multiple organs, including muscles, kidneys, heart, skin, and (central nervous system) tissues," Beheshti said.Beheshti说，“新发现表明，微重力和太空辐射系统性地影响身体，导致细胞层面的功能障碍，影响多个器官，包括肌肉、肾脏、心脏、皮肤和（中枢神经系统）组织”。He added that spaceflight is known to quicken aging and many diseases. But, he said, the research is identifying major health risks that can be targeted for preventative treatment.他补充说，众所周知，太空飞行会加速衰老和许多疾病。但他说，研究正在识别可以针对性预防的主要健康风险。The scientists are looking forward in their work.科学家们对他们的工作充满期待。"If humans are going to be living and working in space, or living on the moon and Mars,” scientists need a basic understanding of how the body responds to space, Mason said.梅森说：“如果人类要在太空生活和工作，或者在月球和火星上生活，科学家们需要基本了解身体对太空的反应。”

JESSIE FIDDLER-KISS, a Métis mother, beader, entrepreneur, and educator, taught us about Science as relationships between Land and time, how children are the best teachers of truth, love and how to play, the significance of trickster stories, anti-septic properties of moss, and the connection between swaddling and brain development. "Ancestral Podcast ⁠MERCH⁠" helps pay Knowledge Keepers and editors, to keep this podcast going. -The Moss Bag Project -Articles about Moss Bag Project on CBC⁠, Avenue Calgary, Telus Spark Science Centre here⁠ -the importance of community and Aunties supporting mothers. “the moss bag is the anchor” (Jessie Fiddler-Kiss) -“children are our greatest teachers,” they are the closest to spirit, learning from the world around them; a method of learning often forgotten by adults. Children teach us about love, play, and new beginnings. -education systems need to allow for children to learn through play, discovery, failure, and follow their own sparks.  -“Indigenous Methodology: Characteristics, Conversations, and Contexts” Margaret Kovach. -think about the limitations Western academic processes and methods exert on knowledges that are connected with Land and Community? What are we missing if we don't expand our minds and hearts to knowings and processes/methodologies that are community/land-based? -Dr. Carmon Gillies, University of Saskatchewan - A Critical Race Theory Analysis of Metis Teachers' Counter-Stories. here - Historical Racial Theories and Ongoing Racialization in Saskatchewan. here -Trickster stories: Jessie is using “trickster stories” as a storytelling method for her Masters degree. -the trickster is a common theme in many Native stories and teachings, with the purpose of teacher, making mistakes to teach humans. -“Coyote the Trickster,”  Syilx Okanagan & Secwepemc stories. "Trickster Tales," “Trickster: Native American Tales” Dembicki, Thompson, Perry (graphic novel, “Trickster,” Eden Robinson (books) (CBC show) -who/what is a Trickster in your community/culture? How do you learn from these stories/knowledges? -“Whiteness as Property,” Cheryl Harris -“Critical Race Theory, an introduction,” Delgado & Stefancic -Moss Bag Science: moss bag as a tool for survival so caregivers could continue to work with babies. -Sphagnum moss, used as ‘diaper,' is anti septic and anti fungal. Its absorbant properties meant there were little (if no) diaper rash. It is antibacterial and has been used on wounds to heal and protect them. It is reusable, when the moss is used up, it went back to the earth.-“Antibacterial activities of some mosses...” Kang et al., here - Swaddling mimics how babies are held in the womb and how they are delivered from the spirit world. It supports brain development in babies by continuing to hold them post birth. At this time, baby and mothers/fathers are flooded with hormones to allow for neuroplasticity- a perfect time for family healing, learning, and growth! Skin to skin regulates the baby, sleeping better when near loved ones. -being in a moss bag, alongside those working, gathering, telling stories, allows for babies to be observant, always learning from their environment. -Beading & Moss Bags. Each community/family has unique symbols, colours, & patterns of beading. Métis beading: colourful, usually on a black background, florals, plant medicines, and patterns of rotation & scale. Blackfoot beading: often geometrical with triangles, lines, and reflection. Help re-matriate a Moss Bag Ancestor.

DR. NICOLE REDVERS (Deninu Kųę́ First Nation) chatted to us about berries changing genetics, Indigenous Medicine Science as a reawakening, Land as healing and amplifying these connections through consciousness, differences between spirit & soul, what is a gut feeling?, and decolonizing & recolonizing our microbiome.

We asked TORRES WEBB "what is science to you?" which lead to a conversation about fish traps & cosmic cycles, the harm terra nullius has done to Indigenous Science, the science of earth ovens, conciliation over reconciliation, Indigenous methodologies and climate change, a strength-based education, and DNA connections to the Earth!

SHOWNOTES: Tobacco Teachings: - Often, when tobacco is offered or smoked, it is ceremonial tobacco. Which means, it is organic (without all those nasty chemicals you find in cigarettes) and therefore is nice to the land when you make an offering with it, or smoke it. - Ceremonial tobacco also means it is grown and harvested “in a good way”, which means there is ceremony and reciprocity involved in the tobacco planting and harvesting. - Tobacco is used in many communities as a sacred medicine, and as we learned here, even as far away as Torres Strait! With the similarities, there will be differences, so please be humble, and ask about the local processes for offering and harvesting.

We chatted AGAIN with Siksika Astrophysicist ROB CARDINAL about "Everything is a Reflection," who invented math?, determinism/free-will and the universe, flow states, A.I. responsibility and protocol, meaningless coincidences, and always remembering to forgive. Remember, any support from the "Ancestral Podcast MERCH" www.relationalsciencecircle.com/shop helps pay Elders, Knowledge Keepers, and our editors, to follow protocols and keep this podcast going. SHOWNOTES: -Science is..."the relationality between the four ways of knowing/being (spiritual, physical, emotional, mental)" -ask yourself the question that stumped me... "Who invented math?" - what is "Spintronics"? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spintronics - Ceremony and time: when a ceremony is done at the same time (alignment of sun, stars, plant etc..) regularly, then it becomes a cyclical and rhythmic cycle. The moment a ceremony happened throughout this unique and relational cycle, a vector of frequency is created. This information/knowledge gifted or received within this ceremony, both reverberates outwards and also inwards! -Noether Theorem: https://math.ucr.edu/home/baez/noether.html - Think about water and ice as symmetrical and asymmetrical.... - Pi as the Crux! A circle is never a static circle. - Science and Determinism- Boem's deterministic physical theory. Do you think the universe is deterministic? Do you think we have a choice in how the universe and our everyday changes? What is Free Will? -Grandfather Rock has lost its Free Will. (remember, rocks are animate, they are made of particles that are in constant motion, creating frequencies that interact with other particles connected to other rocks, trees, animals, humans, stars ... ). Grandfather rocks are significant for Indigenous Peoples because they hold knowledge from the Ancestors, that through ceremony and relationality, can be gifted to us humans. - Flow State as defined by Rob, is a time when we are gaining a symmetry that is more balanced. Remember the four ways of being/knowing, spiritual/emotional/physical/mental? Often science focuses on only the physical and the mental, and therefore is imbalanced and discounts 50% of the knowledge that is out there! Everything is constantly in flux (as described by Dr. Leroy Little Bear), and therefore is always imbalanced but always trying to balance itself. Remember this the next time you are in a flow state!

Navigating using trigonometry of spirit, stars, and stones." “Ancestral Science: Journeying by Spirit, Stars, & Stones” with Dr. JUAN-CARLOS CHAVEZ began with the question “what is science to you?” which led to conversations about the elements as relationships, navigating by stars, sticks, the corner bush, and whistle frequencies, significance of the teachings of spirit, harms of re-naming, modern maps, “exploration”, and the “white picket fence,” melting icebergs and viruses, and thinking about what is our place in the universe? Elements as Relationships: the four elements connect to a variety of stories across Turtle Island, with the significance of the number four (4 winds, 4 directions, 4 colours, 4 peoples, 4 ways of living etc.) and how they balance one another. Within the Circle of Life (sometimes referred to as the Medicine Wheel), the four elements - water, fire, earth, air, represent the balance of creation, the relationships between each element, and humans in relation to the Earth. Casey Eagle Speaker (Kainai Nation) says “We are the Land. Our skeletons the mountains/rocks, our breath the wind, our tears the water, our emotions and spirit like the fire.” Sacred Defenders of the Universe @ TELUS Spark Science Centre Boarders: boarders often disconnect (through politics or conflict), but Dr. Chavez challenges us to think about how boarders can connect by recognizing every tribes unique location (with unique medicines, winds, animals, stories) and each human's unique gift. How can we better gather together as inter-tribal peoples to learn from one another? Great article by Marcy Angeles of Nednhi Chiricahua Apache. Senses & Navigation: because of easy access to google maps, humans have become so disconnected from the Land and navigation. Next time you are outside, pay attention to your senses, how can you use them to navigate? Listen to the patterns of the birds, the flow of the rivers, the waves of the ocean, the smells of the flowers, observe the pathways of the sun in relation to the horizon/mountains/stars. Significance of Names: names are identity and can represent gifts, significant moments/achievements, are often gifted in ceremony, and can hold responsibilities. When names are changed, be it a human or a place, these connections to culture and identity are lost. Next time you are driving or walking, pay attention to the street, river, valley, mountain names, whose stories do they reflect? Indigenous Naming Practices, Renaming, Renaming in Canada, Indigenous Peoples Atlas of Canada. Polyanesian Wayfinding: People have been journeying across Mother Earth (over Land and Waters, and in the Sky) for thousands of years, to connect with other communities, trade medicines and food, follow animal migrations, and share knowledge. Navigation using relationships between sky, land, and water, is extremely complex, mathematical, and relational, and stories of the Hokulea are a great way to begin your journey in better understanding this type of Indigenous and Relational science. Hawaiian Navigation, Sticks to Navigate. Tipis & Telescopes: an incredible Indigenous Science Knowledge gathering hosted by the one and only Wilfred Buck. Humans have all looked up at the same skies, but every community, across continents and lands created stories (connected to their own culture, animals, medicines, knowledges, weather) in connection to the stars. Unfortunately, there is often a singular story and name, often from Greek/Roman origin, that we connect with the stars. Tipis and Telescopes embraces and shares stories from various Indigenous communities about the stars and the sky.  Lands of the Duwamish⁠ Remember to support the podcast by purchasing some merch!

Topic discuss: Misogyny and Prophecies in the Holy Quran Fulfilled Presenter: Imam Safeer Zartasht Khan Imam Raheel Ahmad Misogyny: How is misogyny affecting relationships between men and women and the understanding of the rights each of us have? What role does social media have in fuelling such false ideals? Join us as we go on to discuss how media has allowed misogyny to go underground and fuel an Intel culture. Prophecies in the Holy Quran Fulfilled: The definition of ‘prophecy' is defined as a message that has been communicated as a prediction of what may occur in the future. How incredible that the Holy Quran, a book sent down to us 1400 years ago, held prophecies of what we now see true in our current day to day.

The Pentagon's report on UAPs (Unidentified Aerial Phenomena) said nothing about the possibility that some might be alien spacecraft. Nonetheless, the report has generated heightened interest in figuring out what these UAPs are, and that interest extends to some scientists. We talk to two researchers who want an open and strictly scientific investigation of these phenomena. What should they do and what do they expect to find? And finally, will the possibility of alien visitors ever be resolved?  Guests:  Jacob Haqq-Misra – Senior Research Investigator at the Blue Marble Space Institute of Science Ravi Kopparapu – Planetary scientist, NASA Goddard Space Flight Center Big Picture Science is part of the Airwave Media podcast network. Please contact sales@advertisecast.com to inquire about advertising on Big Picture Science.

Many astronomers believe we are closing in on the hunt for proof of life on other worlds... but where will it be found, and how will we find it? Among the methods being used are searches for technosignatures, biosignatures, and even interstellar probes that might have been "delivered" to various parts of the galaxy by an alien intelligence.  In the search for alien life, how does UAP fit into the equation, and what are the perspectives of scientists on how it should be studied? Joining us this week is Jacob Haqq Misra, Ph.D., a senior research investigator at Blue Marble Space Institute of Science. His areas of focus include planetary habitability, extraterrestrial life, environmental ethics, and space settlement, and he joins us to discuss all of his research interests, and how science can be applied to the study of UFOs this week on The Micah Hanks Program.

The Pentagon declassified a series of videos that show UAP -- unexplained aerial phenomena. That does not mean the videos show evidence of alien aircraft; in fact, such videos tend to be debunked with a little bit of analysis. But the federal government has compiled a report on the videos and public speculation is blossoming. So why don't the experts agree that we are finally seeing our technologically civilized friends? They explain, and they talk about what the search for civilized life entails.
