**Monthly Podcast: Legendary Napa Valley Winemaker Richard G. Peterson**This month's podcast features an extraordinary guest—Richard G. Peterson, one of Napa Valley's most legendary winemakers. If there's anyone who can tell the story of Napa Valley's evolution over the decades, it's Peterson, whose career has spanned more than half a century. He's witnessed and contributed to the valley's transformation from a quiet, rural region to one of the world's most renowned wine-producing areas. Peterson's journey began in 1948, when he started as a home winemaker in Iowa. This early passion for winemaking sparked a long and illustrious career that would take him from the Midwest to the heart of California's wine country. After earning a B.S. in Chemical Technology from Iowa State University in 1952, Peterson moved to California, where he earned an M.S. in Food Technology from UC Berkeley in 1956 and a PhD in Agricultural Chemistry. In 1958, Peterson joined the iconic E. & J. Gallo Winery, initially focusing on new product development and research. His tenure at Gallo lasted for a decade, during which he rose to become the Research Director and Assistant Production Manager, responsible for overseeing winemaking operations. This experience provided Peterson with invaluable insights into the wine industry and laid the foundation for his future leadership roles.In 1968, Peterson moved to Napa Valley, where he took on the role of Winemaster at Beaulieu Vineyard, a prestigious estate located in Rutherford. He served at Beaulieu until 1973, honing his skills and deepening his connection with Napa Valley's terroir. His next major venture was at Monterey Vineyard, where he served as Winemaster and President from 1973 to 1986. At Monterey, Peterson gained recognition for producing innovative wines, including California's first Botrytis Sauvignon Blanc and Botrytis Pinot Noir, as well as unique harvest wines like the January Harvest Gamay Beaujolais and December Harvest Zinfandel.From 1986 to 1990, Peterson served as Winemaster and President of Atlas Peak Vineyards, and was also Chairman from 1989. His leadership in these roles further cemented his reputation as one of Napa Valley's most respected winemakers.This podcast episode offers listeners a rare opportunity to hear from a true pioneer of Napa Valley wine. Peterson's deep knowledge, combined with his rich history in the industry, provides a unique perspective on the valley's development and the art of winemaking.

Subscribe to our channel: https://www.youtube.com/@optispan Senescent cells, cells that cease to divide and proliferate while remaining metabolically active, are a complex and intriguing aspect of biological aging. They serve as both a protective mechanism against cancer, preventing damaged cells from uncontrollable replication, as well as a contributor to tissue dysfunction and age-related pathologies such as cardiovascular disease, neurodegenerative disorders, and diabetes. The precise mechanisms that underlie senescence and its contributions to the aging process remain areas of ongoing investigation and debate. In this episode, Matt chats with Sapere Bio co-founder and CEO Natalia Mitin about measuring cellular senescence, using those measurements in the clinic, and the complex and heterogeneous role of cellular senescence in aging and disease. They also discuss Natalia's personal experiences using rapamycin off-label to improve energy levels and immune function, the importance of monitoring biomarkers when using off-label medications, and Natalia's thoughts on "rapamycin for all". Prior to co-founding Sapere Bio, Natalia served as an assistant professor at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill's Department of Pharmacology. She spent over two decades developing assays for use in cancer research. She holds a B.S. in chemical engineering from the Mendeleev Institute for Chemical Technology and a PhD in biochemistry and molecular biology from Bowling Green State University.

Green Party MP Darleen Tana has been suspended amid allegations she is linked to migrant exploitation at her husband's company. A statement from the Greens' co-leaders said Tana was suspended on Thursday afternoon because it was a conflict of interest with her small business portfolio.   The claims first came to light on February 1 when Tana informed the party a complaint had been made to the Employment Relations Authority (ERA) by a worker at her husband's business, E-Bikes NZ.   “On February 9, the party was notified of a second complaint to the ERA,” the statement reads.  These complaints included allegations against Ms. Tana. Ms. Tana has not been a director or shareholder of E Cycles NZ since 2019.”   She was suspended after it became apparent, she may have previously been aware of the allegations. As Green party co-leader, Chloe Swarbrick told Mike Hosking this morning, an independent lawyer is conducting the investigation.   Now these are only allegations - as we know there is to be an independent investigation. If Darleen is lost to politics that would be a shame. She appears to be no dumb bunny - Darleen holds degrees in Chemical Technology and International Business Management with senior leadership experience in European telco (1997-2014), and SME manufacturing/retail in e-mobility here in Aotearoa (2014-2020).  But the Greens don't have all their sorrows to seek in the one day what with Golriz Gharaman pleading guilty to shoplifting yesterday and James Shaw quitting the party. Before everyone gets too uppity about the Greens and their moral failings though, all parties' MPs are living in glass houses, and it would not behoove them to throw stones.  We're only going back a few years - we simply don't have the time to go any further back - and there are some egregious sins that have been committed by MPs across the spectrum from 2017 onwards.    Most of us can commit errors of judgment, even criminal activity of drink driving and continue in our jobs?    Is it the party selection process or is it the fact that we are all flawed and imperfect?  And we have to accept that it's across the political spectrum now.   No one party is blameless or faultless. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

The climate clock is ticking faster and faster. How can we use capitalism to undo the bad stuff that capitalism did and maybe even make things better? That's today's big (loaded) question, and my returning guest is Akshat Rathi.

Looks like Japan is starting up university quotas for females. I was thinking of moving there because it was one of the last bastions of anti-feminism. I'm reconsidering my decision to move there. Thanks. Well Avery thanks for the donation and topic. The article says this and I quote: "Tokyo Tech to introduce new admission methods, female student quotas. Amidst its sustained efforts to promote diversity and inclusion, Tokyo Tech has decided to introduce special quotas for Japanese-speaking prospective female students applying to the Institute's bachelor's degree programs from April 2024 onwards. Four of Tokyo Tech's Schools — the School of Materials and Chemical Technology, the School of Computing, the School of Life Science and Technology, and the School of Environment and Society — will adopt the new framework in April 2024, while the School of Science and the School of Engineering will do so in April 2025. Once the new admission procedures come into effect at all Schools, the new quotas will make 143 positions available exclusively for female students. This constitutes approximately 14 percent of the 1,028 students admitted to Tokyo Tech's bachelor's degree programs each year. The percentage of women in bachelor's degree programs in these fields stood at approximately 13 percent as of May 1, 2022. The introduction of female-only quotas aims to boost this figure and promote one of the Institute's key policies — diversity and inclusion — on Tokyo Tech's campuses. As a result, Tokyo Tech expects the ratio of female students to reach 20 percent at each of its Schools, and to surpass this figure across the entire Institute. New proactive measures aim to increase this ratio further in the more distant future. While certain leading institutions around the world have achieved a female ratio of 30 percent or higher in the STEM fields at Japanese universities, however, the disparity is particularly noticeable. Tokyo Tech hopes that its efforts will develop into a movement among science and engineering-focused and other universities in the country, which together can take a big step towards closing the gap between the number of women and men studying for STEM-related degrees. Future applications through the recommendation-based and comprehensive entrance exam selection methods will fall into two categories — the general quota for all applicants regardless of gender, and the female-only quota. From academic year 2025 onwards, when all Tokyo Tech Schools have adopted the new framework, the number of applicants admitted through General Admissions for the Bachelor's Program will decrease to 801 applicants from the current 930 applicants. The total number of applicants admitted through the comprehensive and recommendation-based entrance exam selection methods will increase to 227 applicants from the current 98 applicants. This will include 84 applicants in the general quota and 143 applicants in the female-only quota. unquote.Support this podcast at — https://redcircle.com/mgtow/donationsAdvertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy

The IMG Podcast will be hosting a new series exclusive to our Podcast. Match a Resident ambassadors will be discussing mental health concerns that can arise during medical school and match seasons. Match a Resident wants to be at the frontlines at removing the stigma surrounding mental health. We're all in this together.On this episode we speak to Victor Adedara! Hear his mental health journey here."I am Victor O. Adedara from Brooklyn, New York, where I learned about myself. I attended the City University of New York/City Tech, where I obtained a BSc in Biomedical Informatics, an Associate degree in Chemical Technology, and a master's degree in Translational medicine from City College of New York. My medical inspiration journey started at the age of 16 when I firsthand experienced a lack of cultural competency. My experience propelled me to explore more in the medical field. I was determined to attend medical school. In doing so, I enrolled in a science major, which I realized was not a requirement. I conducted four years of benchwork research during my undergrad and represented my college in a research exchange program in Colombia. My experience in Colombia was a memorable one. I felt welcomed by the people. I was taught Spanish as the day went by. I was interested in being culturally aware and culturally humbled. All these attributes made me realize I would be a great physician. So, I went on to shadow a physician in 2016 and attended a minority in medicine program at Sidney Kimmel Medical College, where I learned a lot about ways to tackle social determinants of health. Currently, I am an MS2 at St Georges University School of Medicine. I chose to attend SGU because of its resources and how it shapes future physicians."

We hope everyone had a good Christmas! In this episode, Yiming Ha will give an introduction to the forty-four year war between the Mongol-Yuan and the Southern Song. This was one of the longest wars the Mongols had to fight against an adversary and the Southern Song was among the states that put up the longest resistance against the Mongols. This topic is covered very extensively in Chinese language scholarship, but has not received too much detailed attention in English language scholarship. Yiming will talk about the general course of the war, some of the major engagements, the kind of weapons that were used, and some of the implications that this war had on other Mongol conquests and campaigns in Eurasia. Note: There is a mistake at 12:09 - when Yiming said November, it should actually be December. Contributors Yiming Ha Yiming Ha is a Ph.D. candidate in the Department of History at the University of California, Los Angeles. His current research is on military mobilization and state-building in China between the thirteenth and seventeenth centuries, focusing on how military institutions changed over time, how the state responded to these changes, the disconnect between the center and localities, and the broader implications that the military had on the state. His project highlights in particular the role of the Mongol Yuan in introducing an alternative form of military mobilization that radically transformed the Chinese state. He is also interested in military history, nomadic history, comparative Eurasian state-building, and the history of maritime interactions in early modern East Asia. He received his BA from UCLA and his MPhil from the Hong Kong University of Science and Technology. Greg Sattler Gregory Sattler is a Ph.D. student in the Department of History at the University of California, Los Angeles. His research focuses on sea merchants in East Asia from the ninth to thirteenth centuries, with a particular consideration of their place in society, their trade networks, and their relationships with government officials. Gregory has recently published an article titled “The Ideological Underpinnings of Private Trade in East Asia, ca. 800–1127” (Journal of Asian Humanities at Kyushu University 6) and he is currently working on two additional manuscripts. He has received degrees in Taiwan and Japan, and is a proficient speaker of both Chinese and Japanese.

COP26 ended in Glasgow, Scotland last week with a final deal. It established a framework for reporting emissions and trading carbon credits, called on countries to step up their targets next year, and included a mention of fossil fuels for the first time. That mention of a “phase out” of fossil fuels almost killed the deal altogether. In the final moments of the conference, India lobbied to weaken the phrase. Behind the scenes, China and the US supported the change. That created a showdown over the final language that could have prevented passage of the final agreement. This week: what the conflict says about how power is wielded in global climate talks. Guest: Akshat Rathi, a London-based reporter for Bloomberg News. He has a PhD in organic chemistry from the University of Oxford, and a BTech in chemical engineering from the Institute of Chemical Technology in Mumbai.

It may sound like science fiction, but it’s coming to your plate in the near future! Cultivating our meat using just a small sample of animal cells is now a reality. Companies like Memphis Meats and scientists like Dr. Mark Post have pioneered this technology to develop products spanning the gamut of chicken, fish, pork, and other meats. Closer to home, companies like Shiok Meats are also cultivating seafood from cells. The future looks bright, but challenges remain. While in India we can leverage our expertise in the bio-pharma and manufacturing sectors to crossover to this new exciting field, there are barriers to entry and distribution in the form of high costs, regulation, and scientific know-how. In this episode of Feeding 10 Billion, Varun and Ramya talk to Dr. Sandhya Sriram of Shiok Meats to find out how she is working on breaking through these barriers to bring cell-based shrimp, lobster, and crab to our plates! NOTES- ORGANIZATIONS, INSTITUTES AND CELL-BASED MEAT COMPANIES MENTIONED: MEMPHIS MEATS : Memphis Meats is the world’s first cell-based meat company. Co-founded by Dr. Uma Valeti, a Mayo Clinic trained cardiologist originally from Vijayawada, Memphis Meats' mission is to bring delicious and healthy meats to consumers by harvesting it from cells, instead of animals. Memphis Meats makes its food by sourcing high-quality cells from animals and cultivating them into meat - think of a farm at a tiny scale. They cut some steps from the current process (like raising and processing animals) and bring tasty nutritious meat to consumers - keeping the benefits of conventional meat but that's also better for animals and at scale uses significantly less land, water, energy and food inputs. Their process also produces less waste and dramatically fewer greenhouse gas emissions. MOSA MEAT : Dr Mark Post ate the $330,000 cell-based hamburger (created in a research project funded by Google co-founder, Sergey Brin) during a press conference in London in 2013, and two years later, he co-founded Mosa Meat to bring cultivated meat products to market. Mosa Meat intends to commercialise cultured meat (also known as clean meat) and bring it to plates everywhere. Thanks to significant scientific breakthroughs, Mosa Meat has scaled up their production process and brought the price of their meat down and intends to have their first products in the market in the next four years. SHIOK MEATS : Shiok in Singapore and Malay slang means fantastic and delicious. Shiok Meats is the first cell-based clean meat company in Singapore and South-East Asia. Their mission is to bring delicious, clean and healthy seafood like crustacean meats (including shrimp, crab and lobster) by harvesting meat from cells instead of animals. Their meats are animal-, health- and environment-friendly with the same taste, texture, more nutrients and no cruelty. INSTITUTE OF CHEMICAL TECHNOLOGY (ICT): The Institute of Chemical Technology or ICT (formerly UDCT) is chemical technology research institute located in Mumbai, India. ICT partnered with the Good Food Institute, India, to set up the world’s first government research centre for the development of clean meat. Read more about the partnership here  CENTRE FOR CELLULAR AND MOLECULAR BIOLOGY (CCMB): The Centre for Cellular and Molecular Biology or CCMB is an Indian biotechnology research establishment located in Hyderabad that operates under the aegis of the Council of Scientific and Industrial Research. In April 2019, The Government of India’s Department of Biotechnology granted $640,000 (Rs 4.5 crores) to CCMB and National Research Centre on Meat (NRCMeat) — the largest ever government investment for cell-based meat research. Read more here  What is cell-based meat? Cell-based meat (often referred to as clean meat or cultivated meat or even cultured meat) is genuine animal meat that can replicate the sensory and nutritional profile of conventionally produced meat because it’s comprised of the same cell types and arranged in the same three-dimensional structure as animal tissue. It isn’t imitation or synthetic meat; it’s actual meat that is grown from cells outside of an animal. Dr Mark Post’s Ted Talk at TedX Haarlem in 2013: Meet the new meat  What is Cellular Aquaculture? Cellular agriculture is defined as the production of agricultural products from cell cultures rather than from whole plants or animals. With growing interest in cellular agriculture as a means to address public health, environmental, and animal welfare challenges of animal agriculture, the concept of producing seafood from fish cell- and tissue-cultures is emerging as an approach to address similar challenges with industrial aquaculture systems and marine capture. Cell-based seafood—as opposed to animal-based seafood—can combine developments in biomedical engineering with modern aquaculture techniques. Biomedical engineering developments such as closed-system bioreactor production of land animal cells create a basis for the large scale production of marine animal cells. Aquaculture techniques such as genetic modification and closed system aquaculture have achieved significant gains in production that can pave the way for innovations in cell-based seafood production.

In Episode 15, Quinn and Brian dig deeper and ask: Can carbon capture be a building block in climate action, part II? On the mic: Akshat Rathi, a reporter for Quartz in London. He wrote a series last year called The Race to Zero Emissions about carbon capture, and we dig into that, and the next 10 years of CCS, today. Akshat’s resume: he’s previously worked at The Economist and The Conversation. His writing has appeared in Nature, The Guardian and The Hindu. He has a PhD in chemistry from Oxford University and a BTech in chemical engineering from the Institute of Chemical Technology, Mumbai, and if that isn’t enough to convince you, well I’m sorry.

This recording is from the  NorthWest Herb Symposium. Jay and Bridget Johnson of Tree Farm Communications host this excellent event each August in Coupeville, WA. Their next event is August 23rd - 26th, 2018.  LEARN MORE CLASS DESCRIPTION Epigenomics is the study of epigenetic changes in gene expression that occur without commensurate changes in DNA base pair sequences; these changes may be transmissible to subsequent generations. Recent research in the emerging field of Epigenomics strongly supports the probabilities of therapeutic transgenerational herbalism. Epigenomics is developing in response to research showing very convincingly that many cancers are initiated and controlled by transmissible extrachromosomal mechanisms.

Industry Leaders from the world of Beauty & Fashion providing thought provoking insights from Inspiring minds. Guests are interviewed on their experiences in both Fashion and Beauty and offer the Beauty Fashion and War audience guidance, wisdom and candor. Anya Olwen Bio Anya Olwen is no ordinary trainer. An accomplished athlete at a very young age, her curiosity about how things work brought her to the science fields; she wanted to know everything she could about the inner workings behind physical training and strengthening. Her background includes extensive education and training in fitness and wellness; sports, and chemistry and biotechnology. Even as a young girl, Anya drew inspiration from her athletic involvement. She found that her character was strengthening through not only the intense dedication that was required, but through the power of being part of a team; what she was able to contribute to others, and what others were contributing to her; the very selflessness of teamwork left an indelible mark on Anya's character. Functional Training and Anya's Philosophy Anya's specialty is Functional Training; a classification of exercise which involves training the body for activities performed in day-to-day life—it is derived from the work of Physical Therapists.  Anya is committed to increasing quality of life through exercise, and Functional Training is designed to work your body as one unit, restoring balance where there might be (and often is) imbalance.  While she is no fan of sedentary living; she is just as impassioned when it comes to the damage caused by singling out and overworking specific body parts. "Abs of Ridiculous Ripples," "Hollywood Hills Muscle Monsters" do not give you health or functionality! We use the entirety of our body to live our lives, so to over-build one area leaves the rest functionally weaker.  More importantly, working muscle groups at that level of isolation leads to joint problems and ultimately bone realignment, which can compromise your internal organs. A balanced, purposeful program gets you looking good—that's right, even naked—but more importantly, it brings ease to the simple tasks of living, such as getting up the stairs quickly; playing on the ground or running around outside with your kids; moving that desk. Bending, rotation movements—focus on this type of strengthening directly impacts your quality of life. While training the body, we are also training our mind—literally reestablishing the work of the motor unit. This is the neurological brain-muscle connection. Anya is very specific when she trains to ensure her clients are control of each movement. This again draws from the PT world. Anya will renew with you, or in some cases build from scratch, that essential connection between the desire to do something and the actual physicality of doing it. Anya Olwen is an ACSM Certified Fitness Professional and Wellness Coach. She received her Bachelor from Mendeleev University of Chemical Technology of Russia. Anya completed her master's in Physical Education and Sports; Figure Skating Division from Russian State University of Physical Education, Sport, Youth and Tourism. Since moving to New York City, her dream from the age of seven, she has attended the American Academy of Personal Training Must Read's! The Master and Margarita by M. Bulgakov  Look Inside on Amazon - Click Here Description: "The Master and Margarita is a novel by Mikhail Bulgakov, written between 1928 and 1940 but unpublished in book form until 1967. It is woven around a visit by the Devil to the fervently atheistic Soviet Union. Many critics consider it to be one of the best novels of the 20th century, and the foremost of Soviet satires. In part, it is angled against a suffocatingly bureaucratic social order." Perfume: The story of a murderer' by P. Süskind Look Inside on Amazon - Click Here Description: "An acclaimed bestseller and international sensation, Patrick Suskind's classic novel provokes a terrifying examination of what happens when one man's indulgence in his greatest passion—his sense of smell—leads to murder.In the slums of eighteenth-century France, the infant Jean-Baptiste Grenouille is born with one sublime gift-an absolute sense of smell. As a boy, he lives to decipher the odors of Paris, and apprentices himself to a prominent perfumer who teaches him the ancient art of mixing precious oils and herbs. But Grenouille's genius is such that he is not satisfied to stop there, and he becomes obsessed with capturing the smells of objects such as brass doorknobs and frest-cut wood. Then one day he catches a hint of a scent that will drive him on an ever-more-terrifying quest to create the "ultimate perfume"—the scent of a beautiful young virgin. Told with dazzling narrative brillance, Perfume is a hauntingly powerful tale of murder and sensual depravity." American Tragedy by T. Dreiser  Look Inside on Amazon - Click Here Description: "Clyde Griffiths finds his social-climbing aspirations and love for a rich and beautiful debutante threatened when his lower-class pregnant girlfriend gives him an ultimatum. The novel is a tragedy in the strict sense, Clyde's destruction being the consequence of his innate weaknesses: moral and physical cowardice, lack of scruple and self-discipline, muddled intellect and unfocused ambition; additionally, the effect of his ingratiating social manner places temptation in his way which he cannot resist."  100 Years of Solitude by G.G Marquez Look Inside on Amazon - Click Here Description: "One Hundred Years of Solitude is a 1967 novel by Colombian author Gabriel García Márquez that tells the multi-generational story of the Buendía family, whose patriarch, José Arcadio Buendía, founds the town of Macondo, the metaphoric Colombia. The widely acclaimed book, considered by many to be the author's masterpiece, was first published in Spanish in 1967, and subsequently has been translated into thirty-seven languages and has sold more than 30 million copies. The magical realist style and thematic substance of One Hundred Years of Solitude established it as an important, representative novel of the literary Latin American Boom of the 1960s and 1970s, which was stylistically influenced by Modernism (European and North American) and the Cuban Vanguardia literary movement."
