by Robert Riggs This isn't the kind of story I usually tell. The police didn't converge on the scene with sirens blaring and guns drawn. But what happened inside a Dallas apartment complex was just as devastating and just as unforgivable as a cold-blooded murder. In 2015, a silent killer slipped into the home of two young children. Not through malice, but through neglect, greed, and a rusted furnace exhaust pipe no one wanted to fix.  The carbon monoxide gas that leaked out of it took their minds, leaving them permanently brain-damaged, trapped in silence. For nine years, their mother fought a legal battle against apartment owners and their insurance company, which denied everything.  What followed was a story of delay, deception, and courtroom drama that will outrage even the most hardened true crime listener. This episode is a departure from my usual reporting, but it's one I had to tell.  Because sometimes, the deadliest crimes aren't committed with a weapon.  They're committed with indifference. Legal Resources Mentioned In This Story: Ted B. Lyon Personal Injury Lawyer Science Resources for Carbon Monoxide Poisoning Dr. Lindell Weaver Science.org

"What is life?" - asks Chris Kempes, a professor at the Santa Fe Institute.Chris explains that scientists are moving beyond a purely Earth-based, biological view and are searching for a universal theory of life that could apply to anything, anywhere in the universe. He proposes that things we don't normally consider "alive"—like human culture, language, or even artificial intelligence; could be seen as life forms existing on different "substrates".To understand this, Chris presents a fascinating three-level framework:- Materials: The physical stuff life is made of. He argues this could be incredibly diverse across the universe, and we shouldn't expect alien life to share our biochemistry.- Constraints: The universal laws of physics (like gravity or diffusion) that all life must obey, regardless of what it's made of. This is where different life forms start to look more similar.- Principles: At the highest level are abstract principles like evolution and learning. Chris suggests these computational or "optimization" rules are what truly define a living system.A key idea is "convergence" – using the example of the eye. It's such a complex organ that you'd think it evolved only once. However, eyes evolved many separate times across different species. This is because the physics of light provides a clear "target", and evolution found similar solutions to the problem of seeing, even with different starting materials.**SPONSOR MESSAGES**—Prolific - Quality data.

This week, Melanie sits down with psychiatrist Dr. Adriana Stacey to discuss new research showing how social media use in adolescence may be changing the way our kids think.Most parents know that excessive screen time can impact mood and sleep, but Dr. Stacey explains how it goes much deeper — affecting attention, memory, and even language development. Together, they explore what's happening inside the adolescent brain, why even “moderate” social media use can interfere with learning, and what parents can do to protect cognitive growth during these crucial years.You'll also hear the story of one teen whose focus and motivation began to unravel with increased online use — and how simple changes helped restore his ability to think clearly and engage again in real life.Key Takeaways:How social media overstimulates the brain's reward systemWhy cognitive performance may decline even with moderate useThe “opportunity cost” of screen time — what our kids lose when they scrollPractical steps for helping teens build stronger focus and healthier habitsIf you've ever wondered whether your child's smartphone is interfering with their ability to think, focus, and learn, this episode is for you.Access FREE "Undoing Choices" DownloadSupport the showDon't forget to subscribe, rate, and leave a review if you enjoy the episode.

Can art transform our brains for the better? Local arts and health champion, Path with Art, in partnership with Seattle University and Town Hall Seattle, leads a conversation with Susan Magsamen, New York Times bestselling co-author of Your Brain on Art, and director of Johns Hopkins International Arts + Mind Lab, as well as the co-director of the Aspen Institute's Neuroarts Blueprint. Susan shares the latest research demonstrating how individual and public health can be transformed through the arts. When introduced in healing settings, arts engagement is associated with a reduction in the need for pain medication, reduced cortisol levels, decreased length of hospital stays, decreased incidence of depression, increased memory and cognitive function, and improved communication and behavioral skills. This event explores how the emerging science of neuroarts is expanding the horizons of mental wellness and public health, with some of the most exciting developments taking place here in Seattle and across the world. Presented by Town Hall Seattle, Path with Art, and Seattle University.

It is widely recognized that climate change is the biggest global health threat that we face today. But one piece of information that gets relatively little attention is the question of: how does climate change affect our brains? Dr. Burcin Ikiz is a neuroscientist and global health advisor who studies exactly that. On this episode, she joins Terra Verde host Fiona McLeod to discuss how climate change and environmental factors like air pollution, extreme heat, and malnutrition affect neurological and mental health. Burcin Ikiz, PhD is the founder of EcoNeuro and the International Neuro Climate Working Group. She leads a network of over 250 researchers, physicians, and policymakers with the goal of expanding research on how climate change impacts neurological and mental health, and on translating these insights into tangible global health solutions. She is an Adjunct Lecturer in the Department of Psychiatry and an Affiliate of the Center for Human and Planetary Health at Stanford University, where she contributes to transdisciplinary efforts linking neuroscience, mental well-being, and climate resilience to advance brain and planetary health. In 2025, Dr. Ikiz was named a Grist 50 Fixer alongside other climate and justice leaders building sustainable and hopeful futures. The post How Does Climate Change Affect Our Brains? appeared first on KPFA.

What happens when imagination meets perception, and ordinary objects come alive? We explore the science of pareidolia.Summary: Our minds are wired to find meaning, even in randomness— which is why sometimes we can see faces and patterns in everyday objects. In this episode of The Science of Happiness, we explore how this phenomenon, called pareidolia, can shift how we experience our surroundings and open ourselves to more creativity, connection, and calm.How To Do This Practice: Pause and settle: Take a few slow breaths and allow yourself to slow down. Let your mind soften its focus. Choose your space: Look around your home, your walk, or wherever you are. Everyday objects work best— walls, trees, clouds, shadows. Let curiosity lead: Notice shapes, textures, or patterns that catch your eye. Don't try to find something, just observe. See what appears: Allow your imagination to play. Do you see a face, an animal, a tiny scene hidden in plain sight? Stay with it: Notice how it feels to find meaning in randomness. What emotions or memories come up? Reflect and return: Take a final look around. Does your space or the way you see the things around you feel any different now?

Human-specific duplicates of SRGAP2 prolong cortical development by manipulating SYNGAP, an autism-linked protein that slows synaptic growth.

Change doesn't fail because people are stubborn; it fails because the rollout forgets how humans actually change. In this HRchat episode, Bill Banham sits down with Georgie Cooke, Learning and Change Strategist co-founder of Lima Delta, to unpack why so many transformations lose steam and how to design plans that stick. From status quo bias and risk aversion to the quiet power of team norms, Georgie explains the psychology that shapes every initiative and shows how to turn insight into action.Tune in to hear a clear breakdown of the Inspire, Train, Sustain framework and why sequence matters. Inspire builds urgency with a story that balances opportunity with the cost of staying the same. Train turns ideas into decisions through scenario-based practice and feedback that builds real capability. Sustain locks in new habits with aligned processes, incentives, communities of practice, and ongoing communication that respects the forgetting curve. We walk through a global engineering case study where leadership behavior shifted from vision on slides to norms in daily work—town halls and toolbox talks, a custom self-assessment, scenario learning, leadership labs, mentoring, and performance systems all pulling in the same direction.Managers are the hinge that determines whether culture moves or snaps back. Georgie, a speaker at the November 12th Disrupt London summit, shares how to equip them as a distinct audience: early access, practical tools for local contexts, and clear expectations for the first 90 days. Bill and Georgie also explore how to align company values with local realities, making the “why” personal to each team. If you're leading HR, transformation, or people development, you'll leave with concrete steps to diagnose resistance, tailor messages, and build environments where the right behavior is the easy behavior.If this episode sparks ideas for your own rollout, follow along and share your biggest challenge.

The undead are real. They just have antlers. This episode uncovers the terrifying rise of Zombie Deer Disease—a real-life, prion-fueled plague turning deer into vacant-eyed, drooling husks. It's spreading fast. It's nearly indestructible. And experts say it might jump to humans. Then: a nudist cult leader who worshipped coconuts, lived naked on a tropical island, and tried to save humanity with fruit. Spoiler: it didn't work.

More aptly titled “Weekend at the English Professor's," this deadpan comedy is also a quirky drama satirizing the literary sphere within academia. It's held together by the star power of Michael Douglas, Frances McDormand, Tobey Maguire, and Robert Downey, Junior, but . . . what is it? Plot line defiance and genre pigeonhole-dodging give the Brains food for thought. Join the feast.

We've had a month to reflect on what has happened in the past 30 days ish.. And I was able to compete at 3 different contests in that time, the Blacksmith World Championships at Spruce Meadows, Farriers of Washington State Fall Conference, and the Virginia State Fair World Championship Blacksmiths competition. We talked about what happened at those contests, the highs and the lows, and what was learned through those events. Riley had guest, Andrew Neilson, out to his place for an elk hunt and was able to go hunt rams in Texas as well. All in all it was a busy month and we broke down what happened as to why we haven't had a podcast out for you in a hot minute. Also, let us know who you think would be a great line-up for our 100th episode! And we've also got a cool deal that we'll post about in the near future about a "forging kit giveaway" by purchasing a Forging Brains T-shirt.

You're days into a work project, staring at a screen, feeling anxious about your tight deadline. Mid-afternoon your phone lights up with a call from a friend. You want to connect, but you feel like you don't have a minute to spare. You let the call go into voicemail. On the surface, this decision may seem inconsequential. But what if you knew that a decision like this, centered on an opportunity for social connection, could make a difference in the health of your brain? Would you make time for the call? Ben Rein is author of the book, Why Brains Needs Friends: The Neuroscience of Social Connection. He studies the impact of social interactions on brain health and helps us understand, at a cellular level, the biological importance of human relationships.

Fidelity matters, yet rigidity can stall growth. In this follow-up episode, we revisit the balance between fidelity and flexibility in math improvement and explore how two district partners faced this exact challenge.You will hear how they committed to implementing with fidelity, ensuring consistency, clarity, and shared language, while avoiding the trap of rigid adherence that stifles innovation and teacher agency. Drawing from Janice Fraser's Farther, Faster, and Far Less Drama and her leadership motions, we highlight how leaders can apply these ideas in real math contexts.Listeners will learn how to:See why fidelity builds consistency, shared language, and measurable impact.Recognize where rigidity creeps in—like over-policing or “book says so” practices.Apply Fraser's leadership motions (Orient Honestly, Leverage the Brains, Value Outcomes, Make Durable Decisions) to math initiatives.Anchor to outcomes like fluency, reasoning, and discourse rather than rigid scripts.Tune in to see how fidelity fuels traction while flexibility keeps systems responsive to student and teacher needs.Not sure what matters most when designing math improvement plans?

We are more isolated from one another than ever before — by our technology, by our political divides, and most of all, by our choices. This week on the show, we talk with neuroscientist Ben Rein about why this social isolation is terrible for our health — implicated in not only rising rates of mental illness, but also heart disease, dementia and more.We discuss Ben's new book, "Why Brains Need Friends: The Neuroscience of Social Connection", published earlier this week, and try to work out a plan for an improved social diet to restore our brains — and our society — to good health.Learn More:Ben Rein's websitePublisher's websiteReferences from the bookSocial Journaling template---We are honored to have won a silver Signal Award for best science and education podcast of 2025, as well as an audience choice award — thanks so much to everyone who voted for the show!---We want to hear from your neurons!

If you've ever thought, “What's wrong with me?” while juggling a million thoughts, forgetting simple tasks, or burning out from doing all the things — you are not alone.In today's episode, with ADHD expert, podcast host, and author Tracy Otsuka, we explore how ADHD shows up so differently in women, how hormones like estrogen affect focus and dopamine — and why understanding your neurodivergent brain could be the breakthrough you didn't know you needed.

Many people will be familiar with Parkinson's disease: the progressive brain disorder that causes symptoms including tremors and slower movement, leading on to serious cognitive problems. You might not know that it's the fastest-growing neurological condition in the world. Today it affects around 11.8 million people and that's forecast to double by 2030. Dr Sonia Gandhi is one of the scientists working to change that trend. As Professor of Neurology at University College London and Assistant Research Director at the Francis Crick Institute, her work involves using stem cells to build models of the human brain, helping to drive the development of drugs and other therapies for Parkinson's patients.Talking to Professor Jim Al-Khalili, Sonia explains why this destructive condition is on the rise - and the promising routes they're studying to find new ways to tackle it.Presented by Jim Al-Khalili Produced by Lucy Taylor for BBC StudiosFor details of organisations that offer advice and support to anyone affected by Parkinson's Disease, please go online to bbc.co.uk/actionline.

Why do human brains need social interaction? Why might AI chatbots be insufficient to scratch the itch? What do we love so much about real human touch and in-person interaction? Why do so many of us live with dogs? From empathy to introversion to social media to isolation (and what to do about it), we’ve got it all this week with guest Ben Rein, author of the new book Why Brains Need Friends.

Exam season is here — and with it, a tidal wave of pressure, late nights, and panic. But what if we’ve got it all wrong? In this short, punchy episode, Justin and Kylie Coulson share six powerful reminders to help your teen (and you!) survive exam stress with perspective, calm, and even joy. From why your ATAR doesn’t define your worth to why sleep, exercise, and connection matter more than cramming — this is the reality check every parent needs right now. KEY POINTS: You are not your ATAR: Exams don’t measure intelligence, potential, or worth. Brains need breaks: Good sleep, nutrition, and exercise fuel real learning. Remembering requires forgetting: Relearning builds stronger memory. Connection over cramming: Fun, laughter, and time with loved ones reduce anxiety. Take a gap year: Exploration and “range” lead to deeper purpose and long-term success. Perspective is everything: In two years, none of this will matter as much as it feels now. QUOTE OF THE EPISODE:“You are not your ATAR. In two years, no one’s going to care — and you’ll be just fine.” — Dr Justin Coulson RESOURCES MENTIONED: Range by David Epstein Join the waitlist to hear all the news on Justin's new book "Boys" The Art of Manliness A HF conversation with Amy Dyer on gap years & the real path to success after school ACTION STEPS FOR PARENTS: Keep routines steady — protect your teen’s sleep, meals, and downtime. Encourage short study bursts, spaced repetition, and daily movement. Talk about why effort matters more than marks. Model calm and perspective — your energy sets the tone. Start conversations about gap years, growth, and finding direction beyond exams. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

This week, Scott sits down with Dr. Ben Rein, a Stanford neuroscientist and one of today’s most engaging science communicators. Dr. Rein has spent over a decade studying the neuroscience of social interaction, and his new book, Why Brains Need Friends: The Neuroscience of Social Connection, explores how our relationships shape our minds and well-being. Together, they dive into the science of why humans are wired for connection, the growing epidemic of loneliness, and how social interactions influence the brain. They also unpack the neurobiology of empathy—what it is, how it works, and whether we can actually train ourselves to become more empathetic. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
