In this episode of Behind the Language, we break down three major theories of language learning and explore the ideas of some of the most influential thinkers in the field: Noam Chomsky, William Labov, Stephen Krashen, and David Crystal. So sit back, relax, and join us as we unpack these perspectives and reflect on what they reveal about how we learn languages.Pronunciation Mastershttps://go.hotmart.com/E74795312J English in Brazil - Complete Coursehttps://go.hotmart.com/U104175910X?ap=0688SOS Viagemhttps://go.hotmart.com/I86476193C?ap=69e6
Nolan Higdon, author and Disinfo Detox host, dismantles the "aberration" myth surrounding Jeffrey Epstein, exposing his deep ties to US/Israeli/Russian intelligence, insider trading, and elite blackmail networks spanning politics (Trump, Dershowitz), tech (Thiel, Palantir), academia (Chomsky, Summers), and media. Higdon reveals how partial Epstein file releases coincide suspiciously with Trump's Iran strikes—launched amid 30% approval and domestic scandals involving ICE—serving as potential distraction from scrutiny over unreleased files and foreign influence (Adelson/AIPAC). He contrasts US corporate media's sanitised narratives of regime changes (Venezuela's Maduro/Flores kidnapping echoing Panama 1989) with international reporting showing Iran's technological resilience and Israeli military setbacks. He critiques NATO's militarised "media literacy" weaponising education against disinformation while shielding Israel-led wars, Gaza genocide denial, and DARVO "self-defence" claims. Higdon warns of AI surveillance eroding youth cognition/social bonds, big tech's eugenics ideology (Yarvin/Thiel), economic fallout from oil spikes, Greenland piracy, and empire's dehumanising normalisation of child trafficking. Urging diverse sourcing beyond legacy media's Politburo-style control, he reveals 2026's fractures—war profiteering and unaccountable power elites.

Dans cet épisode, on replonge dans le documentaire Manufacturing Consent avec Philippe De Grosbois afin de voir si la pensée de Noam Chomsky est encore pertinente aujourd'hui, en plein conflit entre les États-Unis, Israël et l'Iran. On revient également sur la révélation des liens que Chomsky entretenait avec Jeffrey Epstein. Le prof Jonathan Martel revient documenter le processus qui est en train de faire de lui un chercheur universitaire et en fin d'épisode, Fred réfléchit sur la présence de Pierre Pahlavi sur les ondes du diffuseur public comme analyste crédible du conflit en Iran
Noam Chomsky’s superpower is his intellect and ability to communicate complicated subjects with clarity. He made politics accessible for multiple generations. Chomsky is the gateway drug to leftist ideology. He’s also close friends with the most prolific child abuser and sex trafficker of the modern era. It’s okay to acknowledge Chomsky’s contributions and even more okay to let them go and bury his legacy.

Dimes and Judas discuss the international incident caused by a man with Tourette's screaming slurs at the BAFTA awards, increasingly ominous conflict surrounding Iran and claims of nuclear armament, and a wave of anarchistic cartel violence in Mexico caused by the killing of the leader of the CJNG cartel. They then review the book “Michael Collins and the Anglo-Irish War” by J.B.E. Hittle. Building off the last book covering the activities of the IRA, this investigates the earlier years of their formation and especially their relationship with their political arm Sinn Féin, centering on the enigmatic figure of Michael Collins. They take a closer look at the roots of animosity towards England and the deeper history of what created the cultural landscape which permitted a revolution of that scale.

In der neuen Ausgabe der Speakeasy-Bar sprechen wir über die EU-Sanktionen gegen Personen, die in den Augen der Regierenden in Brüssel eine Gefahr für die Union darstellen. Das Thema Meinungsfreiheit begleitet uns auch, wenn es um eine Gesetzesreform in den USA geht, für die sich der Schauspieler Joseph Gordon-Levitt einsetzt. Section 230 soll fallen, angeblich, um Kinder und Jugendliche zu schützen, in Wahrheit könnte dies aber das Ende des freien Internets bedeuten.Darüber hinaus sprechen Ole Nymoen und Wolfgang M. Schmitt über Noam Chomskys Beziehungen zu Jeffrey Epstein, das Für und Wider eines AfD-Verbots, die Werttheorie angesichts hoher Börsenbewertungen und über viele weitere Fragen aus dem Publikum.

Why does it feel like so much left discourse is explaining why we aren't ready to act: "Insufficient union density, insufficient political consciousness, insufficient organization"? If it only takes 3% of the population to spark revolutionary change, what can we do with the tens of millions who mobilized for George Floyd or Palestine? How do we sustain civil disobedience as the state increasingly criminalizes free speech and ratchets up penalties as they did for Jessica Reznicek?

Epstein's ties—everyone from Modi to Chomsky to Trump, don't forget Trump. Ben riffs. State Senator Robert Peters talks about his campaign for Congress in the second congressional district. And much more. Including why AIPAC and AI PACs are against him. And how being Black and Jewish and a graduate of Mount Carmel HS have shaped his world view.

Neste episódio da série A ORDEM, realizamos um confronto teológico e escatológico com o pensamento de Noam Chomsky, o "profeta laico" da modernidade. Reconhecido por sua revolução na linguística e por sua crítica feroz ao imperialismo e à manipulação midiática, Chomsky oferece diagnósticos precisos sobre o abuso de poder, mas suas soluções — baseadas no anarquismo e na rejeição de hierarquias — representam um risco sutil à identidade da Igreja Adventista. Exploramos como a visão chomskiana da linguagem como ferramenta biológica contrasta com a visão bíblica da Palavra como Revelação (Logos). Analisamos o perigo de importar o antiinstitucionalismo para dentro da igreja, confundindo autoridade espiritual com tirania. O desafio para a liderança adventista é aceitar a denúncia contra a manipulação ("a manufatura do consenso"), mas rejeitar a anarquia, reafirmando o sistema representativo como uma ordem divina redimida para a missão final. Resumo O episódio disseca a obra de Chomsky em cinco eixos, desde a ontologia da linguagem até a crítica ao Estado, aplicando-os à realidade eclesiástica. Argumenta-se que, embora a crítica ao poder seja necessária para evitar a "Babilônia", a resposta não é a dissolução da ordem (anarquismo), mas a purificação da autoridade sob o senhorio de Cristo. Principais Conclusões A linguagem não é apenas uma estrutura mental ou social, mas um dom sagrado que deve comunicar a Verdade, e não manipular consensos. O anarquismo epistemológico de Chomsky, se aplicado à igreja, leva ao gnosticismo institucional e à fragmentação da missão. A liderança adventista deve ser "representativa e profética", rejeitando tanto o autoritarismo burocrático quanto a desordem libertária. Pontos-Chave - A diferença entre a linguagem como "ferramenta de resistência" (Chomsky) e "veículo de Revelação" (Bíblia). - O risco da "política da desconfiança": quando o cinismo corrói a unidade do corpo de Cristo. - A missão profética exige ordem: a estrutura da igreja não é um fim, mas um canal vital para a proclamação. - A resposta à manipulação midiática e ideológica não é o silêncio, mas a pregação fiel da Palavra.

Com experiência na liderança institucional e na plantação de igrejas, ele trabalha a intersecção entre teologia profunda, gestão eclesiástica e missão encarnacional. Seu objetivo é capacitar uma nova geração de líderes que compreendam o tempo em que vivem e respondam com fidelidade bíblica e coragem profética.
Join Jim and Greg for the Friday edition of the 3 Martini Lunch as they wrap up the weekdiscussing the latest elites caught up in the Epstein scandal, the media's curious silence over a record-setting sewage spill into the Potomac River, and Congress leaves town for more than a week without funding the Department of Homeland Security.First, they react to newly reported details about Jeffrey Epstein's connections to former Obama White House Counsel Kathryn Ruemmler, far-leftauthor and commentator Noam Chomsky, and the owner of Lifetouch, one of the nation's largest school photography companies. Jim underscores the breathtaking indifference many elites appeared to show toward Epstein's admitted crimes.Next, they examine what is now being described as the worst wastewater disaster in U.S. history: a massive sewage spill into the Potomac River. Despite the scale and environmental impact, both local and national media outlets have shown strikingly little interest. Jim points out how much the media covers a disaster like this depends almost entirely upon whom they can blame for it.Finally, they fume as a partial government shutdown will begin at midnight because Democrats refuse to fund the Department of Homeland Security because of their temper tantrum over ICE. Meanwhile, lawmakers won't even be in town next week.Please visit our great sponsors:Upgrade your sleep with Brooklyn Bedding and get 30% off sitewide at https://BrooklynBedding.com when you use promo code 3ML at checkout.Find your way forward with BetterHelp when you sign up at https://www.BetterHelp.com/3ML to get 10% off your first month.Upgrade your wardrobe with Mizzen & Main — get 20% off your first purchase at https://MizzenandMain.com with promo code 3ML20.New episodes every weekday.

"I will say that QAnon was right and I was wrong." — Pepper CulpepperFrom Bannon and Trump to Summers, Gates, Blavatnik and Chomsky, the Epstein scandal has revealed elites of all ideological stripes behaving shamefully together. The Oxford political scientist Pepper Culpepper argues this is exactly the kind of corporate scandal that can save democracy—not despite its ugliness, but because of it. His new co-authored book, Billionaire Backlash, shows how scandals activate "latent opinion," bringing long-simmering public concerns to the surface and triggering society-wide demand for regulation. We discuss why Cambridge Analytica led to California privacy law, how Samsung's bribery scandal sparked Korea's Candlelight Protests, and why China's authoritarian approach to corporate malfeasance actually undermines trust.Culpepper, himself the Blavatnik Professor of Government at Oxford's Blavatnik School, acknowledges an uncomfortable truth. "I would say that QAnon was right," he admits, "and I was wrong." The specifics might have been fantasy, but the underlying suspicion about elite corruption was justified. And policy entrepreneurs—obsessive individuals who channel public outrage into actual legislation—matter more than we think. For Culpepper, billionaire backlash isn't a threat to democracy—it might actually be what saves it.About the GuestPepper Culpepper is Vice Dean of the Blavatnik School of Government at the University of Oxford. He is the co-author, with Taeku Lee of Harvard, of Billionaire Backlash: The Age of Corporate Scandal and How It Could Save Democracy (2026).ReferencesScandals discussed:● The Epstein scandal revealed that elites across politics, finance, and academia were connected to Jeffrey Epstein's network of abuse—vindicating populist suspicions that "the system is broken."● Cambridge Analytica (2018) exposed how Facebook leaked data on 90 million users, leading to the Digital Markets Act and Digital Services Act in the EU, and California's privacy regulations.● The Samsung bribery scandal in South Korea led to the Candlelight Protests and President Park Geun-hye's resignation, demonstrating how corporate scandals can strengthen civil society.● The 2008 Chinese milk scandal killed six infants due to melamine contamination; the government's cover-up during the Beijing Olympics destroyed public trust in domestic food safety.● Volkswagen's Dieselgate scandal showed how companies cheat on regulations, bringing latent concerns about corporate behavior to the surface.Policy entrepreneurs mentioned:● Carl Levin was a US Senator from Michigan who shepherded the Goldman Sachs hearings and contributed to the Dodd-Frank Act.● Margrethe Vestager served as EU Competition Commissioner and pushed for the Digital Markets Act and Digital Services Act.● Max Schrems is an Austrian privacy activist who, as a student, discovered Facebook retained his deleted messages and eventually brought down the US-EU data transfer agreement.● Alastair Mactaggart is a California property developer who pushed through the state's privacy regulations when federal action proved impossible.● Zhao Lianhai was a Chinese activist who tried to organize parents after the 2008 milk scandal; the government arrested and imprisoned him.Concepts discussed:● Latent opinion refers to concerns people hold in the back of their minds that aren't front-of-mind until a scandal brings them to the surface.● The Thermidor reference is to the French Revolutionary period when the radical Jacobins were overthrown—Culpepper suggests a controlled version might benefit democracy.● The muckrakers were Progressive Era journalists whose exposés led to reforms like the Food and Drug Administration.Also mentioned:● Michael Sandel is a Harvard political philosopher known for arguing that "there shouldn't be a price on everything."● Patrick Radden Keefe wrote Empire of Pain, the definitive account of the Sackler family and the opioid epidemic.● Lee Jae-yong is the heir apparent to Samsung, implicated in the bribery scandal.● Parasite, Squid Game, and No Other Choice are Korean cultural works that critique the country's relationship with its conglomerates.About Keen On AmericaNobody asks more awkward questions than the Anglo-American writer and filmmaker Andrew Keen.

Ženy XYZ #31: Americké ministerstvo spravedlnosti v uplynulých týdnech zveřejnilo obrovské kvantum takzvaných Epstein files, které dokumentují zločiny dnes již zemřelého Jeffreyho Epsteina a jeho spolupracovníků. Zločinecká mašinérie určená ke zneužívání mladých žen a dívek nejvlivnějšími lidmi světa je tak znovu v centru pozornosti. Redaktorky Markéta Plíhalová a Clara Zanga v další epizodě popsaly, jak celá mocenská síť fungovala, proč se ji tak dlouho dařilo krýt, proč padlo v kauze tak málo rozsudků i jak zásadní roli v ní sehrála odvaha obětí.
Jimmy and Americans' Comedian Kurt Metzger unload on Noam Chomsky, portraying him as a gatekeeper on the left who discouraged scrutiny of elite power and dismissed investigations into events like JFK's assassination, 9/11, and COVID-era policies as distractions or conspiracies. They argue that newly surfaced Epstein-related emails undermine Chomsky's credibility, highlighting his reported social interactions with Epstein and advice he offers Epstein on handling media scrutiny after the disgraced financier's conviction. Jimmy and Kurt further point to Chomsky's positions on vaccine mandates, Medicare for All, and "Force the Vote" as evidence that he aligned with establishment narratives while marginalizing grassroots activism. The discussion concludes by framing Chomsky as a "proxy dissident" whose influence, according to the hosts, ultimately steered dissent back into mainstream political channels rather than challenging them. Plus segments on Lindsey Graham's increasing episodes of slurred speech during TV appearances and another TPUSA whistleblower tearing into Erika Kirk for breeding a hostile work environment. Also featuring Stef Zamorano and Baron Coleman!
Entre que Dua Lipa cantaba con Fher de Maná, los gringos sacaban a Maduro de Venezuela y tu tía se asustó de que hasta Chomsky fuera amigo de Epstein, David y Joserra fueron nuevamente a los tacos. Querían hablar de segundas partes y de regresos, pero terminaron platicando de muchas otras cosas, entre ellas el inesperado regreso de Rick Moranis a la pantalla grande, pero sobre todo de libros, literatura y todo lo demás.

Is the truth about the unsealed Epstein files being suppressed by a protected elite? On this episode of Eyes Wide Open, we're joined by Kit Cabello of Hard Lens Media to dismantle the dark networks of power, systemic corruption, and the global manipulation used to control the narrative. In this investigative deep dive, we explore the intersection of blackmail, child trafficking, and political influence found within the 2026 DOJ document releases. We analyze the specific roles of individuals like Ghislaine Maxwell and the documented connections involving high-profile figures such as Bill Clinton, Donald Trump, and Elon Musk. Kit Cabello provides expert insight into how mainstream media narratives act as a shield for these networks and what grassroots actions are necessary for societal change. Key Takeaways & Revelations Unsealed Documents: A breakdown of the 2026 Epstein file releases and their global implications. Elite Blackmail Networks: How trafficking is used as a tool for political and celebrity control. Media Deception: The specific tactics used by Hollywood and mainstream news to distract from systemic abuse. Symbolism in Culture: Understanding the real-world parallels in Stanley Kubrick's Eyes Wide Shut. Systemic Solutions: Why the legal system may not deliver justice and why grassroots activism is the answer. Our Mission Eyes Wide Open is a space for honest communication. Our goal is to remove the stigmas around mental health, holistic lifestyles, culture, and free speech so you can show up as your authentic self with your eyes wide open. By having real conversations about difficult truths, we move toward collective healing.

In this powerful lecture marking the shloshim (30-day memorial) of his mother, Rivkah bas Avraham obm, Rabbi Shais Taub weaves personal memory with Torah insight in a way that is both intimate and intellectually arresting. Drawing on his mother's life as a speech pathologist, he explores what it truly means that the human being is defined by speech—how words emerge from the deepest levels of the soul, and how language can shape identity and destiny. Along the way, he shares formative childhood stories, including how she taught him to write, the first (and last) time he ever lied to her, and the quiet moments of parenting that profoundly shaped his inner life. The lecture moves beyond biography into unexpected territory, tracing a line from Tanya and Onkelos' description of the human soul as a “speaking spirit” to modern linguistic theory. Rabbi Taub recounts how his mother found support for Noam Chomsky's ideas about language in the writings of the Alter Rebbe, including a clip from Rabbi Taub's own conversation with Chomsky. He also reflects on her lifelong love of Chabad niggunim—first learned as a teenager from Zalman Schechter—and her remarkable positivity through twelve years of serious illness. Timed to Tu B'Shvat, the lecture becomes a meditation on the power of gratitude and positivity.

Smoke and sky spiders fill the air as missiles smash into Gaza and powerful men drive needles into the flesh of young girls. Turns out Chomsky partied with Epstein, so now I have to take up vaping and go fill a shoebox with polaroid photos of dead birds in car parks. I'll pretend I'm doing it ironically so no one mocks my prayer cards for a dying world. Sometimes the Buddha looks like the Buddha. Sometimes he looks like bleached coral reefs, or rapefinger plutocrats with pointy teeth. Sometimes he looks like a woman in her early fifties sobbing snot-nosed and red-faced at the cruelty of it all in pajama bottoms and a Pink Floyd t-shirt. The war drums are getting louder, and the bank boys are getting horny again, and the flesh of the innocent is so soft and so easy to digest, and the darkness hides so much, and the light makes so little difference. But we shine it anyway. We shine it anyway. Reading by Caitlin Johnstone.
Agradece a este podcast tantas horas de entretenimiento y disfruta de episodios exclusivos como éste. ¡Apóyale en iVoox! En esta alucinante tercera hora exploramos los misterios más fascinantes que desafían nuestra comprensión del mundo. ¿Pueden las abejas enseñarnos a hablar con extraterrestres? Descubrimos cómo estos diminutos insectos dominan conceptos matemáticos que podrían ser el lenguaje universal del cosmos. Viajamos después a los templos del sur de India para investigar las enigmáticas Hojas de Palma del Destino, manuscritos milenarios que supuestamente contienen la biografía completa de millones de personas. Nos preguntamos por qué ya no existen grandes casos de casas encantadas como Borley, Enfield o el expediente Vallecas. Y cerramos desentrañando el misterio del origen del lenguaje humano: ¿fue realmente un rayo cósmico el que nos dio el don del habla, como sugiere Chomsky, o hay una explicación más terrenal?

José Antonio Marina recuerda que nuestra memoria a corto plazo solo puede retener entre cinco y nueve datos. En aquella misma conferencia, Chomsky presentó su gramática generativa y Newell y Simon mostraron el primer programa de inteligencia artificial. Desde entonces, entender qué ocurre en la mente volvió a ser central en la Psicología y en las terapias, hoy mayoritariamente cognitivas, basadas en que nuestras creencias moldean cómo sentimos y actuamos. Un ejemplo inquietante: en los años 80, Timothy Beneke citaba una encuesta en la que el 40% de universitarios estadounidenses afirmaba que violaría a alguien si supiera que no sería castigado.La pregunta de esta semana es: ¿Qué filósofo afirmó que “no nos hacen sufrir las cosas, sino las ideas que tenemos sobre las cosas”?Escuchar audio

Episode 370 of RevolutionZ mainly continues our sequence of excerpts from the forthcoming The Wind Cries Freedom's Oral History of the Next American Revolution. However, before doing so, it takes up various reactions I encountered to an article I wrote titled "Chomsky Reassessed." The followup discussion here raises some more general concerns and further ideas bearing on issues of "cancellation." Internal movement differences, arguments, and even accusations can force a movement to constructively self examine and grow, or can fracture it. What damage is done when outrage outruns evidence, when cancel culture and circular firing squads turn activism into spectacle and drive away the very allies we need? What dynamics play out? When do they arise? How do they gain life and spread? How do they involve us and what might we do to address them? After that rather substantial introductory section, this episode continues into a new oral history excerpt about how to build movement power and cohesion in which Bertrand Jagger and Lydia Lawrence further chart their respective journeys from atomized into systemic thinking. They describe their attraction to self-management as proportionate say, to equity as pay for effort and sacrifice, and to an economy redesigned to eliminate not only rule by owners but rule by the often-ignored coordinator class.Bert takes us inside the illusion of choice that we often feel, where markets script our consumption and work options and productivity gains vanish into someone else's ledger. He traces the subtle hierarchies that reappear in movement meetings, media, and campaigns when movement roles unintentionally subvert movement aspirations. He explains why balanced jobs, transparent information, and participatory planning weren't rhetorical add-ons to RPS but at the core of its approaches. Lydia widens the frame to kinship and culture. She shows how hierarchies in patriarchal families, schooling, and media bleed into the workplace—and vice versa--how class hierarchies in turn contour kinship and culture. She shows why to change one domain of activity without changing the others reroutes power rather than dissolves it.Along the way, we revisit a cautionary note from Bob Dylan—what happens when movements punish nuance and reward heat—and we ask how to create spaces where disagreement refines strategy instead of ending careers and silencing conversation. So this episode is mostly about how two people were attracted to and navigated movement design, class analysis that extends beyond owners and workers, and turning diverse values into effective daily practice all in the new movement they became part of, the movement for a revolutionary participatory society. Can their remembrances provide use insights in our time and our place about attaining a clear, rigorous path forward? Listen, and perhaps share with a friend who's organizing something big or small. Then I hope you will leave a comment saying what strikes you as useful and revealing, and what doesn't.Support the show

Joy of the People founder and longtime coach Ted Kroeten joins Chat By The Pitch to break down what truly develops creative, intelligent players — and why most of the U.S. youth soccer system gets it upside down. Ted's “soccer as a language” philosophy reframes how kids learn, why free play must come before instruction, and how mixed-age, low-pressure environments cultivate game intelligence no coach can teach.From the failures of super clubs and the youth sports industrial complex to Joy of the People's bold commitment to no tryouts, no cuts, and no overcoaching, Ted delivers one of the clearest visions of what American development could be if we trusted kids to play again.If you care about player development, coaching, or burnout in youth sports — this episode will challenge everything you think you know.Key Talking Points• Ted's journey from late-start player to coaching leader and founder of Joy of the People• Why he walked away from the elite club model and the youth sports industrial complex• “Soccer as a language” — acquisition vs learning, Chomsky, Krashen, and immersion• What kids learn in free play that coaches cannot teach• Why Joy of the People operates with no tryouts, no cuts, no pressure• How mixed-age play, different surfaces, and alternate balls accelerate creativity• Overload vs underload: reading effort, joy, and false intensity in players• Why early free-play kids lag at first—but surpass others by U16–U19• The danger of over-rewarding performance and creating kids who only love winning• Building a true community model where every kid matters and development lastsQuotes from Ted Kroeten• "When I saw kids in play learning things I could not teach them, I knew there was something in play."• "Unstructured play, street play, free play has developed the top players in the world."• "We've been teaching soccer only with rules and techniques, not allowing acquisition to occur."• "The best way to learn a complex language is not a teacher — it's immersion."• "Kids who fall in love with explicit training programs are in danger of burning out."• "We don't have tryouts.

We're joined by Leif Weatherby, associate professor at NYU, founding director of the Digital Theory Lab, and author of the new Language Machines: Cultural AI and the End of Remainder Humanism, to think with us about AI, structure, and what happens when computation meets language on their own shared turf. Language Machines is easily the best book about AI written this year and is just a killer antidote to so much dreary doomer consensus, it really feels like one of the first truly constructive pieces of writing we've seen out of academia on this subject. This episode follows really well after two others — our talk with Catherine Malabou earlier this summer and the episode with M. Beatrice Fazi about a year ago (both faves). It feels like theory is opening back up again into simultaneously speculative and structural returns, powered in no small part by the challenges posed to conventional theories of language (from Derrida to Chomsky) by Large Language Models. This episode absolutely rips, literally required listening. Structuralism is so back (and we're here for it). Some important references among many from the episode:Roman Jakobson, “Linguistics and Poetics.”N. Katherine Hayles, Unthought: The Power of the Cognitive Nonconscious .Beatrice Fazi, Contingent Computation: Abstraction, Experience, and Indeterminacy in Computational Aesthetics.Steven Pinker, The Language Instinct (1994).e.g. Noam Chomsky, Ian Roberts & Jeffrey Watumull, “The False Promise of ChatGPT,” NYT (link) Anthropic, “Scaling Monosemanticity: Extracting Interpretable Features from Claude 3 Sonnet” (featuring the Golden Gate Bridge example - link)LAION-5B dataset paper and post-hoc analyses noting strong Shopify/e-commerce presence in training scrapes.Weatherby in the NYT
In this episode of the Epigenetics Podcast, we talked with Arnau Sebé-Pedrós from the Center for Genomic Regulation in Barcelona about his work on chromatin evolution. The Interview starts by examining specific research findings, including his seminal 2018 paper demonstrating whole-organism single-cell transcriptomics to map larval and adult cell types in the model organism Nematostella vectensis. Dr. Sebe-Pedros recounted the challenges and triumphs faced when delving into single-cell studies of non-model organisms, revealing the innovative strategies employed in the lab to overcome these hurdles. Shifting gears, we touched upon his work comparing cell types and molecular pathways in reef-building corals through single-cell RNA sequencing, contributing to our understanding of evolutionary conservation and divergence within the cnidarian lineage. We discussed how this comparative approach not only adds to knowledge about coral biology but also enhances methodological frameworks in ecological studies. In addition, Dr. Sebe-Pedros shared insights into ongoing efforts to reconstruct eukaryotic chromatin evolution using comparative proteomics and genomics analysis, as well as the mechanisms of genomic regulation in various species. His reflections on the sharing of experimental insights across research groups illustrated the collaborative spirit prevalent in the scientific community, particularly regarding endeavors like the Biodiversity Cell Atlas consortium aimed at expanding single-cell efforts across the tree of life. The episode culminated with Dr. Sebe-Pedros's thoughts on the revolutionary impact of functional genomic technologies and the vast potential they hold for answering longstanding questions in evolutionary biology. With an emphasis on epigenetics, he defined this field as encompassing any information not encoded directly in the DNA, especially in its role in establishing cell identity and differentiation.

ORIGINALLY RELEASED Aug 19, 2022 In this landmark episode, we sit down with the legendary Noam Chomsky and renowned historian Vijay Prashad to discuss their insightful new book, The Withdrawal: Iraq, Libya, Afghanistan, and the Fragility of U.S. Power. Exploring the aftermath of America's military engagements, Chomsky and Prashad illuminate the complexities of U.S. imperial ambitions, the consequences - moral and material - of foreign interventions, and the growing cracks in America's global dominance.
