Show Notes: Rebecca Hollander-Blumoff shares her journey from college to law school. After deferring her law school for a year, she spent a year in Spain to gain language and cultural experience. She then went to law school in Cambridge and clerked for a federal judge in New York before going into practice. Rebecca was initially interested in becoming a federal prosecutor but realized she first had to go into practice.  She worked for a small boutique litigation firm that did about 60% white collar criminal defense and about 40% civil litigation. While she loved being a counselor to her clients, and a person who a client could call, day in, day out, she found the law firm's hierarchy unappealing. The Psychology of Negotiation, a PhD., and Teaching Rebecca decided to pursue a PhD in Social Psychology to study the psychology of negotiation. She talks about negotiation in law, and she began taking classes in NYU's master's program and eventually obtained a PhD in Social Psychology with a dissertation on procedural justice in negotiation. She taught in the lawyering program at NYU and was an adjunct at Seton Hall in New Jersey teaching negotiation. After obtaining her PhD, she went on the job market for academia; she got a position at Washington University in Saint Louis. Rebecca has been teaching at Washington University in Saint Louis since 2006. She teaches various core classes, including civil procedure, federal courts, law and psychology, negotiation, negotiation for executive education, and has also developed a course in women's leadership and negotiation. She has worked for groups like the Brookings Institution and the Rodel Institute. Women's Negotiation and Navigating Stereotypes Rebecca's approach to teaching women's negotiation is not about focusing on gender differences but rather on understanding the research that informs her approach. She believes that women need to be armed with knowledge about the effects of gender, culture, and race on negotiation. This knowledge can help them navigate through stereotypes and roadblocks that may arise in negotiations. In her classes, she also discusses the research that is relevant to everyone, not just women, and mentions the issue of different perceptions of men and women in and on negotiations, and how behavior of men and women is perceived differently. The discussion also touches on the misconception that some people are born good negotiators and others are bad at it. This is a misconception that can hinder effective negotiation. The best way to think about negotiation is as an experience that can be prepared for and analyzed from both structural and interpersonal perspectives. This involves considering possibilities, actions to take if negotiations don't work out, and the interpersonal elements present. Negotiation and Problem-solving Rebecca mentions that negotiation is often seen as adversarial, but it is actually more about strategically problem-solving to increase the size of the pie and generate low-cost but high-value outcomes for both parties. Examples of negotiations that are not adversarial include family law, business contracts, and reputational effects. Negotiations can have broader implications, as people may still be in each other's lives after the negotiation. The key piece that students often overlook is the relational aspect of negotiations. In negotiations, parties are not in front of a judge, and the outcome must be decent for both parties. For example, in a negotiation for a new salary or project, one person has all the power, but the decision by fiat can lead to less positive results over time, less employee retention, and less positive feelings about the project. In real-world situations, negotiations can have other elements and dimensions available. Lawyers should question their assumptions and think about the best end goal for their clients. They should also consider the potential negative consequences of their actions and the impact on their reputation and business relationships. Negotiations in Practice The conversation turns to the dynamic between attorneys and clients in family law negotiations. Research has shown that when lawyers experience fairness in negotiation, they are more likely to recommend the agreed-upon outcome to their clients, believing it forms the basis for a better long-term agreement. However, the client is not in the room, and the lawyer may manipulate the client's desire for fair process and present things differently to the client based on what they think might happen. This can lead to a gap between what the lawyer is experiencing and what the client is experiencing. Research by a professor at UC Davis has found that one of the most desirable forms of dispute resolution for regular people is negotiation by their lawyer while the client is present in the room. This could reduce the dissonance between the lawyer and the client, potentially leading to better negotiation outcomes. A Year in Madrid Rebecca recounts her experience in Madrid after college, where she lived with a family for most of the year, a difficult but interesting experience. She studied at the Complutense University, where she participated in a Hispanic studies program, which taught history, language, grammar, and art in Spanish. The program was an international one, and the students from around the world were taught in Spanish. Despite the initial loneliness and lack of familiarity, Rebecca found it fascinating and eventually moved into an apartment with friends. She found that Madrid was a large city, but not warm and fuzzy, and it was a great place to live. A Passionate and Adventurous Baker Rebecca is a passionate baker She enjoys sharing her creative side with her students, who are always happy when she bakes for them. In her home life, she has three boys and two nephews who live nearby, making the house full of baked good eaters. Baking provides a time to disconnect from the stress of professional life and connect with the world through the act of baking. One of her favorite projects was when she baked 12 cakes of Christmas based on the 12 days of Christmas.  She also used cooking as a project to open her children's horizons to different cultures and ideas, especially when her kids were younger. They would research a country and make a whole meal of that country's cuisine, usually with a baked dessert. One of her favorite baked goods is a Kringle, made from an Estonian recipe. Her oldest child also fell in love with the Mongolian beef patty, a dish made from a dough of flour and water wrapped around ground beef. Influential Harvard Professors and Courses Rebecca took Justice as a freshman and ironically found it to be one of her least favorite classes. However, she enjoyed her classes in the history and literature concentration.  She also took a phenomenal French literature class and enjoyed a class on modern poetry, which she likens to the study of law, as every word and construction has a reason or purpose.

An asteroid that moved closer to Earth's orbit in recent months is now moving away from our planet as gravity pulls it back toward the sun. 近几个月来，一颗小行星靠近地球轨道，现在由于重力将其拉回太阳而远离我们的星球。 The asteroid is small – about 10 meters long – and never presented any threat to Earth. But the object, known as 2024 PT5, was recently pulled closer to our planet by Earth's gravitational forces. 这颗小行星很小——大约10米长——并且从未对地球构成任何威胁。但这个被称为 2024 PT5 的物体最近被地球引力拉近了。 Scientists sometimes call such objects “mini-moons.” This is because they behave similarly to the permanent moon orbiting Earth when they are captured by gravity. But they are much smaller and stay only temporarily in Earth's orbit. 科学家有时将此类物体称为“迷你卫星”。这是因为当它们被重力捕获时，它们的行为类似于绕地球运行的永久月球。但它们要小得多，并且只能暂时停留在地球轨道上。 The American space agency NASA said it does not consider 2024 PT5 a mini-moon because it was never expected to be fully captured by Earth's gravity. But NASA has described the small asteroid as “an interesting object” that is worthy of study. Such asteroids are considered near-Earth objects. 美国航天局 NASA 表示，它不认为 2024 PT5 是一个迷你月球，因为从未预计它会被地球引力完全捕获。但美国宇航局将这颗小行星描述为“一个有趣的物体”，值得研究。此类小行星被认为是近地天体。 The space agency noted that similarities between the asteroid's motion and that of Earth suggest the object could be a large piece of rock that broke off from the moon's surface after an asteroid strike in the distant past. 该航天局指出，小行星的运动与地球的运动之间的相似之处表明，该物体可能是很久以前小行星撞击后从月球表面脱落的一大块岩石。 The object was first observed on August 7 by two astronomer brothers from Spain's Complutense University of Madrid – Carlos de la Fuente Marcos and Raúl de la Fuente Marcos. They identified the asteroid through observations made by a telescope in South Africa. 8月7日，来自西班牙马德里康普顿斯大学的两位天文学家兄弟卡洛斯·德拉富恩特·马科斯（Carlos de la Fuente Marcos）和劳尔·德拉富恩特·马科斯（Raúl de la Fuente Marcos）首次观测到了该天体。他们通过南非的望远镜观测发现了这颗小行星。 The Spanish astronomers said it appeared 2024 PT5 is part of a group of near-Earth objects within the Arjuna asteroid belt. They wrote that asteroids in this belt are believed to be “surrounding the path followed by the Earth-moon system.”西班牙天文学家表示，2024 PT5 似乎是阿朱那小行星带内一组近地天体的一部分。他们写道，这条带中的小行星被认为“围绕着地月系统所遵循的路径”。 The Associated Press reported the astronomers had used telescopes in the Spanish Canary Islands, off the coast of northwestern Africa, to make hundreds of observations. The object is currently more than 3.5 million kilometers from Earth. Only powerful telescopes can see the asteroid because of its small size and low brightness. 美联社报道称，天文学家在非洲西北部海岸的西班牙加那利群岛使用望远镜进行了数百次观测。该物体目前距离地球超过350万公里。由于小行星体积小、亮度低，只有强大的望远镜才能看到它。

About the Lecture: In this lecture, we will explore the ways in which popular culture constitutes a privileged site for LGBTIQ+ teenagers' identity formation, analysing how the queer protagonists of Netflix's hit TV show “Sex Education” turn to cinema, graphic novels, music and fashion to find inspiration for the development of their non-normative gender identities, “forbidden” desires and sexual orientations. We will uncover the undeniable parallels between these characters -Eric, Adam, Lily and Ola- and iconic films like "Hedwig and the Angry Inch," "Paris is Burning," or "Alien," along with the influence of queer legends such as David Bowie, Tina Turner, and Marlene Dietrich. In a way, this constitutes a metatextual exploration that reveals how transnational queer teen TV shows -like “Sex Education” itself- serve as beacons, offering role models for LGBTIQ+ youth worldwide. In a society steeped in cisheteronormativity, queer teens often seek affirmation and self-discovery through the kaleidoscope of popular culture. With the popularisation of platforms such as Netflix and HBO, which have recently become champions of diversity and inclusion, queer youth are finally able to see positive representations of queerness and find information about themselves that is not always available in their home and educational environments. Although queer popular culture and its influence on youth will be at the forefront of our discussion, we will also analyse the role of media for the dissemination of (queer) sex education; the promotion of feminist pedagogies throughout the show; and the potential of educational institutions to become sites of queer utopia, something exemplified in the fictional college portrayed in the last season of the show. About the speaker: Lucia Vazquez Rodriguez is a media scholar specialized in feminist and queer approaches to popular culture; in April this year, who joined UCL as a Lecturer in the MA Digital Media: Production, and became a member of the research group ReMAP. Lucia has an MA in Film and Philosophy from King's College London and a PhD in Audiovisual Communication from the Complutense University of Madrid, where they worked in several projects and publications with a research group called GECA (Gender, Aesthetics and Audiovisual Culture), and wrote a thesis on queer Latin American cinema directed by women. Lucia's main areas of interest are Queer and Feminist Screen Studies, Digital Fandom Communities, and Media Literacy, particularly in relation to teenagers, streaming platforms, sexual scripts and gender roles. Lucia is currently working on a book on the uses of haptic (highly sensorial) images within queer contemporary films directed by women, although they have also published extensively (and will continue to do so) about LGBTIQ+ teen TV shows such as “Sex Education”.

Our guest this week is Linda Moore (Attribution, She Writes Press, October 2022). You'll smile at Linda's analogy of how introducing your book to your audience is a lot like offering them chocolate chip cookies and about how men are still getting it wrong in terms of the harassment present in academia.  And if you're interested in marketing to book clubs, you'll enjoy our lengthy discussion about how Linda approached this often-neglected marketing opportunity, eventually guesting at over seventy clubs in the last 16 months, both locally and via Zoom appearances. A recovering gallery owner, traveler and writer, Linda Moore uses her experiences in her writing. After studying and earning degrees at the University of California, Stanford and University of Washington (whew!), she spent time as a hospital administrator until she turned her love of art into a business and opened an art gallery. Drawing upon a year studying at Complutense University of Madrid in Spain, she focused the gallery's art on contemporary Hispanic art, especially from the southern cone of South America (Argentina, Uruguay, Chile). She continued traveling after she closed the gallery and has been to all seven continents multiple times and has visited over 100 countries. She lives with her husband in San Diego and takes refuge when she can in beautiful Kauai where they have a cottage. To learn more about Linda, click here.

Spain's Me Too movement started back in 2016, after a horrifying rape case that shocked the nation and mobilized its men and women. But the history of Spanish women's struggle for equal rights dates back to the mid-19th century. And as you will note in this conversation, it's a history that is closely tied to the struggle for freedom, to different political movements and their priorities, to different regimes and republics, and also to world events and global movements, such as the suffrage movement in Britain and America, and Fascism and Nazism in Italy and Germany, respectively. In this episode, I ask my guest, Dr. Marta del Moral, the following questions: How did women's conditions and rights in Spain from the 19th century to 1933 compare to other European countries? Were women deemed intellectually equal to men? And if so, were they given the same rights? When did Spanish women gain the right to vote and how did they effectively lose it? How did Franco's regime impact women's rights and conditions? What is (was) permiso marital? How were rapists treated in Spain? What was the punishment for a man who killed his adulterous wife? How did women's conditions and rights change after democracy returned to Spain starting in 1975? The Unwanted FIFA Kiss - how did this fit within Spanish women's long struggle for equal rights and Spain's "Macho Culture"? Dr. del Moral is a professor of gender equality at the Complutense University of Madrid. She directs the Research Group: Gender Relations in the Contemporary World: an interdisciplinary perspective from History, Geography and Law, where she has investigated women's participation in local governments. By the way, during our conversation, Dr. del Moral recommended this book: New Perspectives on European Women's Legal History. In this episode, Dr. del Moral tells us that the Unwanted FIFA kiss was an act of masculine power over a woman. And that's not the first time we've had this in our program. Back in 2021, when New York Governor Andrew Cuomo was accused of sexual harassment and shortly thereafter resigned, Dr. Carry Baker of Smith College explained to us that at its core, sexual harassment is about power!

Drawing on IFAD's 45 years of hands-on experience in agriculture and rural development, IFAD President Alvaro Lario outlines how reshaping food systems around small-scale producers can limit global warming, regenerate ecosystems, and end poverty and hunger. While food production generates one-third of all greenhouse gases, drives biodiversity losses, and uses about 70 per cent of the world's freshwater and President Lario contends that sustainable food systems hold the potential to generate US$4.5 trillion in new business opportunities every year and to create more than 120 million rural jobs. He argues that decades of under-investment in food systems and glaring inequalities have left many farmers and other rural people cut off from economic opportunities. He reflects on the current global food crisis, which is worsening as more than 700 million people go to bed hungry every night.

Touts: Recruiting Indentured Labor in the Gulf of Guinea (de Gruyter, 2022) is a historical account of the troubled formation of a colonial labor market in the Gulf of Guinea and a major contribution to the historiography of indentured labor, which has relatively few reference points in Africa. The setting is West Africa's largest island, Fernando Po or Bioko in today's Equatorial Guinea, 100 kilometers off the coast of Nigeria. The Spanish ruled this often-ignored island from the mid-nineteenth century until 1968. A booming plantation economy led to the arrival of several hundred thousand West African, principally Nigerian, contract workers on steamships and canoes. In Touts, Enrique Martino traces the confusing transition from slavery to other labor regimes, paying particular attention to the labor brokers and their financial, logistical, and clandestine techniques for bringing workers to the island. Martino combines multi-sited archival research with the concept of touts as "lumpen-brokers" to offer a detailed study of how commercial labor relations could develop, shift and collapse through the recruiters' own techniques, such as large wage advances and elaborate deceptions. The result is a pathbreaking reconnection of labor mobility, contract law, informal credit structures and exchange practices in African history. Dr. Enrique Martino is currently a faculty member at the Complutense University of Madrid, and was previously a fellow at the Freiburg Institute for Advanced Studies. Dr. Sara Katz is a Postdoctoral Associate in the History Department at Duke University. Learn more about your ad choices.

“If only mine were the last drop of Spanish blood to be spilled in civil strife. God willing, may the Spanish people at peace, so replete with extraordinary virtue, at last find homeland, bread and justice”. Who among today's Spaniards could possibly disown this quote? The man who uttered in November 1936 shortly before being shot by firing squad, in whose tombstone the epitaph is inscribed, is José Antonio Primo de Rivera. The current left-wing government of Spain has different plans for his bodily remains. As part of its so-called law of democratic memory, approved last summer, Primo de Rivera will be disinterred this week from his tomb at what used to be called the Valley of the Fallen—renamed Valle de Cuelgamuros by the same bill—incinerated, and his ashes will be relocated to the San Isidro monastery in Madrid. So what does the government of Pedro Sánchez fault Primo de Rivera for? Although he ended his life on the aforecited conciliatory note—and even though he lived through only six months of the civil war from prison before being executed by the Second Republic, which viewed him as a threat—Primo de Rivera remains a standard-bearer of 20th century Spanish fascism, someone historians see as having laid the idealogical groundwork for Franco, who went on to rule for 40 years upon winning the Civil War. He is the latest target of a sweeping effort, unfolding since the previous socialist government in the late 2000s, to settle the scores of these tumultuous decades of Spain's history. These bills do various things. They rename streets and monuments. By setting up DNA banks, they enable families to trace, find and give a proper burial to Republican victims of Francoist repression buried in mass graves. And lastly, they reframe the way History is taught, depicting the Second Republic (1931-1939) as the unimpeachable defender of freedom and democracy against Franco's fascist villains. This week, we will navigate this treacherous topic by inquiring about Franco's exact place in Spain's public consciousness, exploring the demographics of this issue, and questioning whether Spain's history can be so neatly framed as a black-or-white story of good versus evil. We are joined by two distinguished hispanists. On one side of the line, Michael Reid, a longtime regular at The Economist and the author most recently of Spain: The Trials and Tribulations of a Modern European Country (2023), with Yale University Press. On the other side of the line we have with us Nigel Townson, a professor of History at Complutense University in Madrid.

On this episode, Garrison takes a deep dive into the view from Venezuela with the deeply knowledgable Ivan Briscoe, Program Director for Latin America and the Caribbean from the International Crisis Group. The two discuss the current state of Venezuelan affairs, tracing the counters of the rivalry between Nicolas Maduro and Juan Guaido with their respective claims to the Presidency. Is Juan Guaido losing his sense of legitimacy in the eyes of the opposition forces and the general public? They discuss the failed effort by the Trump administration to topple the Maduro regime, the after-effects of that attempt, and the present outlook for the Venezuelan economy, particular its oil economy and its interactions with China and Iran. They discuss the declining influence of American sanctions, and the condition of the multi-million Venezuelan refugee community inside neighboring Columbia. Briscoe considers the possibility of a Russian build up in the Latin American region with Venezuela as a possible area of focus. And they close by talking through what policies the United States should change in relation to the regional situation in both Columbia and Venezuela. Ivan Briscoe joined Crisis Group in June 2016 as Program Director for Latin America and the Caribbean. He has worked on Latin American politics, conflict and crime since 1996. Before joining Crisis Group, Ivan worked as a senior research fellow in the Clingendael Institute of the Netherlands and in the Foundation for International Relations and Foreign Dialogue (FRIDE) in Spain, where he specialized in the study of illicit networks in Latin America, new forms of armed violence and the effects of inequality. Prior to that, he worked for over a decade as a journalist and editor in Argentina, France and Spain, where he edited the English edition of El Paнs. He has carried out fieldwork-based research in various Latin American countries, including Argentina, Bolivia, Colombia, Ecuador, Guatemala, Mexico, Panama, Peru and Venezuela, and has written for numerous media in the region and in Europe.

Dr Cristina Sánchez, Vice Dean of Research at the School of Biology at the Complutense University in Madrid, is a world renowned molecular biologist specialising in the study of compounds in the cannabis plant as anticancer agents in breast cancer. Cristina has been involved in researching the antitumoral properties of cannabinoids for over twenty years, and played a key role in discovering how THC kills cancer cells while working alongside colleague Professor Manuel Guzmán.These days, while many research groups around the world focussing on isolated or synthetic cannabinoids as potential anticancer drugs, Cristina's group stands out as trying to understand and replicate the experiences of actual patients who are reporting extraordinary results using whole plant cannabis for their cancer.In her paper, 'Appraising the ''entourage effect'': Antitumor action of pure cannabinoid versus a botanical drug preparation in preclinical models of breast cancer,' Sánchez found that in mice at least and across all types of breast cancer, a whole plant cannabis extract was more efficacious and potent than THC alone. As Cristina says: "This is not a hippie fashion or energy from the plant. No, this is science. This is molecules activating and deactivating. So the same thing as for opioids or for any of the drugs that they use."Resources:Appraising the "entourage effect": Antitumor action of a pure cannabinoid versus a botanical drug preparation in preclinical models of breast cancerCannabinoids reduce ErbB2-driven breast cancer progression through Akt inhibitionTherapeutic targeting of HER2-CB 2 R heteromers in HER2-positive breast cancer Activation of the orphan receptor GPR55 by lysophosphatidylinositol promotes metastasis in triple-negative breast cancerTargeting CB2-GPR55 receptor heteromers modulates cancer cell signalingSupport the show (https://www.paypal.com/paypalme/marybiles71)

Welcome to a new episode of our podcastSimulation exercises are an excellent tool to test contingency plans and improve countries' preparedness against exotic animal diseases. EuFMD supports the organization of simulation exercises, particularly in South Eastern European countries, but the recent pandemic represented a challenge for their planning and implementation. As a solution, a new way of delivering simulation exercises was outlined: Simulation exercises remotely assisted, using a crisis simulation tool. The pilot simulation exercise organized in this way took place on June 2020 in Montenegro.Maria de la Puente Arévalo works in the EuFMD in coordinating training, simulation exercises and other activities aimed at improving preparedness of European countries against FAST diseases. She graduated at the Complutense University in Madrid and has an MSc in One Health with the University of Edinburgh. She worked for more than 10 years as an official veterinarian in veterinary public health and animal health in Spain as was involved in the European Commission initiative Better Training for Safer Food.Goran Filipovic works in the EuFMD in planning and implementation of simulation exercises, networking and other activities aimed at improving preparedness of South East Europe region. He graduated at the University of Belgrade Before working in the EuFMD, he worked on various national and regional projects for development and implementation of animal health strategies for prevention, control and eradication of animal diseases.

Professor Manuel Guzman is Professor of Molecular Biology at the Complutense University in Madrid where he has been a leading light in discovering the anticancer properties of cannabinoids such as THC and CBD. He led the team behind the first ever clinical trial for THC as an antitumoral agent in the rare type of brain cancer, glioblastoma. I recorded this interview for an article for Project CBD examining just how close we are to the approval of a cannabis-based anticancer drug, but managed to draw Manuel into a whole host of fascinating topics, on which he talked openly and frankly. Highlights include: A summary of how near or far we are away from a cannabis-based cancer drug.How the bar is set higher for cannabinoids compared to other areas of research.What other types of cancer are likely to move onto the clinical studies stage in cannabinoid research.Manuel's view on GW Pharma's 'mining' of the cannabis field with patents for different types of cannabinoid combinations and diseases. Why a cannabis-based cancer drug will always be trialled alongside standard treatments such as chemo or radiotherapy.Practical advice from Manuel for patients with cancer about how to safely use cannabis oil. The biphasic effect of THC and how this may influence its antitumoral activity.An explanation of the difference between tolerability and tolerance.A call to action to patients to play their part in the normalisation of cannabis by telling their doctors about their cannabis use.

This episode presents a chronological sweep of field recordings and interviews taken in Madrid during COP25, December 2019, by our guest host Sumugan Sivanesan. It begins with the December 6 Manifestacíon in which around 500,000 people marched in the streets of Madrid, before tracing discussions at the Social Summit for the Climate (Cumbre Social por el Clima) at Complutense University and at other actions around the city. In front of the US embassy, this episode focuses on a demonstration led by Indigenous women who sang the Women’s Warrior Song, a song written by Martina Pierre from the Lil'wat First Nation that honors missing and murdered Indigenous women and girls. Indigenous women face the highest rates of murder and sexual assault in North America, and in Madrid the song connected these crimes to extractivist fossil fuel industries operating on unceded Indigenous lands. The montage culminates five days later with a casserolado noise demonstration outside the COP, in support of Indigenous delegates, Fridays For Future, and other civil society groups staging a demonstration inside the COP against the removal of references to Human Rights in the negotiations and widespread reports of bullying and inaction. This episode includes interviews and speeches by: ASAD REHMAN, Executive Director of War on Want VANESSA NAKATE, Founder of the Rise Up Movement NICOLE FIGUEIREDO DE OLIVEIRA, Director of 350.org in Brazil and Latin America MARTA BORDONS MARTÍNEZ, Climate activist, Fridays for Future Sevilla MOÑEKA DE ORO, member of the Micronesia Climate Alliance NIGEL HENRI ROBINSON, Denesuline organizer, radio host, and humorist from Cold Lake First Nations, Indigenous Climate Action CHIEF DANA TIZYA-TRAMM, Vuntut Gwitchen First Nation Photograph by Sumugan Sivanesan.

I first met Alex at one of my Shamanic Breathwork sessions, after she came over and offered me a free treatment with her at her clinic. I loved her energy and went a few days later, and was blown away by the way she worked with my body. She not only has too many university diplomas and degrees with 17 years experience in the field of scientific bodywork - she is a certified physiotherapist, a licensed osteopath, an expert in myofascial induction (and more); she is also profoundly spiritual and gifted with healing hands. In this podcast we talk about what its like to grown up with two nationalities, and bridging the gap between family life in two different cultures. I find it I find it ubiquitous that she now has grown to embody a bridge between two other worlds: science - and spirituality. We talk about pain, as a teacher, and the importance of finding the origin and not just take pills to kill the symptom. We also talk about energy work, what its like giving so much of your energy to others and working with people who are suffering. Since Alex came into my life, I have sent her many of my friends, team mates and yogis and everyone has been amazed at her skills. She has also become a true friend, and I am so excited she agreed to shine her light on this podcast. Please see below for an abbreviated list of her many studies: 2002 – 2005: Physiotherapy – San Pablo CEU University, Madrid. 2006 – 2007: Expert in Lymphatic Drainage, European University of Madrid, CEES. All pathologies but  Specially in Oncology patients. 2009 – 2010: Sports Physiotherapy, Complutense University of Madrid: Sport injuries, Nutrition in sports, Sport physiology, Cardio, X-Rays, Treatment, Proprioception, Myofascial Liberation (Andrej Pilat), Maitland, Hydrotherapy, Bandages, Trigger Points-Dry needling, Lymphatic Drainage, Cyriax- Hook/Clasp, Pilates, Kinesiotaping, Muscular Chains, Electro-stimulation and Neurodinamia. 2012 – 2014: Degree in Structural Osteopathy. ONCE University of Madrid. 2018 - 2019: Myofascial Induction level III. Tupimek. Madrid. I sincerely hope you will enjoy this episode.

Today Hannah Courtauld (Psychologist) and spoke to Guillermo Velasco Diez, (PhD). Guillermo is a biochemist heavily involved in the research of the therapeutic potential of cannabinoids in the treatment of Cancer. In this episode, Hannah and Guillermo Discuss: -Guillermo’s academic background and route into the world of cannabinoid research -The mechanisms of action of cannabinoids in terms of attenuating the physiological impact of carcinoma -Crowdsourced funding strategies including the medical cannabis bike tour -The current state of play with regards to clinical studies in this field -Glioblastoma and how cannabinoids are being used to treat this condition -His work with the Spanish Observatory of Medical Cannabis -Charitable and educational organisations like the canna foundation Guillermo Velasco Díez, PhD - BIO Guillermo Velasco was born in Madrid, studied Biology and obtained his PhD degree (1997) at the School of Biology of the Complutense University, Madrid, Spain. After defending his PhD, he got an EMBO long-term fellowship to work in Philip Cohen’s laboratory at the MRC Protein Phosphorylation Unit (Dundee, Scotland) on a project aimed at studying the regulation and of the Rho-activated protein kinase (ROCK). In 1999 he was awarded a position as an Assistant Teacher at the School of Chemistry of the Complutense University and in 2003 was awarded an associate professorship. In 2001 Guillermo started a line of research aimed at investigating the mechanisms underlying cannabinoid anti-tumour action as well as at optimising the potential clinical utilisation of these agents in cancer therapies. Many different avenues are currently been explored by in his group - they are currently investigating the role of endoplasmic reticulum stress, autophagy, apoptosis, intracellular trafficking of ceramide and regulation of mTORC1 and mTORC2 in cannabinoid anti-tumour action, as well as the participation of growth factor receptor-activated pathways in the resistance to the anti-neoplasic actions of cannabinoids.

When we talk about bushfires in Australia, we talk about the devastation. But Professor Cristina Montiel Molina from the Complutense University of Madrid says we need to re-think that. “We don't consider fire a natural element in our lives, but it's a part of landscape,” says Professor Molina. “We don't really know how to live with fire.” In fact, Professor Molina says that mega fires we've experienced in Europe, Australia, Chile and California in recent years are our own fault - as result of poor decisions around spatial planning, land management and fire policies. And, in order to manage the risk posed by fire, we have to change our attitude. Episode recorded: December 19, 2018. Interviewer: Steve Grimwade. Producer and editor: Chris Hatzis.

Learned optimism is the idea in positive psychology that a talent for joy, like any other, can be cultivated. It is contrasted with learned helplessness. Learning optimism is done by consciously challenging any negative self talk.The father of the new science of positive psychology and author of Authentic Happiness draws on more than twenty years of clinical research to demonstrate how optimism enhances the quality of life, and how anyone can learn to practice it. Offering many simple techniques, Dr. Seligman explains how to break an “I—give-up” habit, develop a more constructive explanatory style for interpreting your behavior, and experience the benefits of a more positive interior dialogue. These skills can help break up depression, boost your immune system, better develop your potential, and make you happier..With generous additional advice on how to encourage optimistic behavior at school, at work and in children, Learned Optimism is both profound and practical–and valuable for every phase of life.Commonly known as the founder of Positive Psychology, Martin Seligman is a leading authority in the fields of Positive Psychology, resilience, learned helplessness, depression, optimism and pessimism. He is also a recognized authority on interventions that prevent depression, and build strengths and well-being. He has written more than 250 scholarly publications and 20 books. Dr. Seligman's books have been translated into more than twenty languages and have been best sellers both in America and abroad. Among his better-known works are Flourish, Authentic Happiness, Learned Optimism, The Optimistic Child, Helplessness, and Abnormal Psychology. His book Character Strengths and Virtues: A handbook and classification, was co-authored with Christopher Peterson.In 1998, Dr. Seligman was elected President of the American Psychological Association. His primary aim as APA President was to join practice and science together so both might flourish - a goal that has dominated his own life as a psychologist. Since 2000, his main mission has been the promotion of the field of Positive Psychology. Dr. Seligman is expanding Positive Psychology to education, health, and neuroscience, and has applied his research to groups like teachers and students, the U.S. Army, athletes, and every-day people. His goal is to make the world happier.Dr. Seligman was born in Albany, NY and received his B.A. from Princeton University, Summa Cum Laude (Philosophy), 1964; Ph.D. from the University of Pennsylvania (Psychology), 1967; Ph.D., Honoris causa, Uppsala University, Sweden, 1989; Doctor of Humane Letters, Honoris causa, Massachusetts College of Professional Psychology, 1997; Ph.D., Honoris causa, Complutense University, Spain, 2003; and Ph.D., Honoris causa, University of East London, 2006.Dr. Seligman lives with his wife, Mandy, and their children. He is an avid bridge player and has won over 50 regional championships. He was inspired by Aaron Beck, a renowned psychiatrist at the University of Pennsylvania and the father of cognitive therapy.Buy 'Learned Optimism' on Amazon: https://www.amazon.com/Learned-Optimism-Change-Your-Mind/dp/1400078393Sources: https://www.authentichappiness.sas.upenn.edu/faculty-profile/profile-dr-martin-seligmanhttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Learned_optimismShoutout to the sponsors of the podcast:DDP Yoga www.DDPYoga.comThe Clay Cup @TheClayCupTrade Secrets @SecretsInTradeJoos @TheJoosBarSports Evolution @LeadingAthletesAll music on this episode is from the amazing JAKE OVER.

Call me (814) 799-0064More about DDP Yoga:Diamond Dallas Page originally developed DDP YOGA for athletes like himself who had suffered years of injuries due to high-impact sports. For the first 42 years of his life, Dallas was a guy who "wouldn't be caught dead" doing yoga, or anything like it.When he ruptured his L4 and L5 spinal discs during the height of his professional wrestling career, he was so desperate to keep his childhood dream alive, he was willing to try anything. So he tried yoga for the first time in his life.Because Dallas (DDP) had so much experience in many other areas of fitness, he quickly started mixing elements of yoga with his rehab and traditional calisthenics. For almost a decade, DDP has refined his program and has become a master at teaching it to others, as well as motivating individuals to believe that anything is possible with dedication and hard work.Along the way, Dallas learned that very deconditioned men and women could do DDP YOGA as well -- he was amazed to see stories of people doing DDP YOGA losing literally hundreds of pounds! As Dallas puts it, "weight loss just happens to be a really AWESOME side effect of DDP YOGA!"DDP Yoga combines the very best of yoga, old-school calisthenics, sports rehabilitation therapy and dynamic resistance to create one of the most effective fitness plans in existence today. It allows anyone to:Get a kick-ass cardio workoutIncrease flexibilityStrengthen core musclesExperience almost no joint impactWhat Makes DDPY Different Than Traditional Yoga and Other Fitness Programs?What separates DDP Yoga from all other kinds of yoga is not just that it is fronted by a celebrity, or that the program combines yoga positions and calisthenics with physical therapy principles, or even that it has an interactive app that lets its users do the workouts from anywhere, but that DDPY is something that anybody at any age or skill level can do. Unlike traditional yoga, DDP Yoga isn't just stretching, it's stretching and strengthening your muscles, ligaments, and tendons.DDP Yoga may have a strong celebrity following (e.g. Darius Rucker, Chris Jericho, A.J. Styles, Gabriel Iglesias), but the program is rooted in adaptability and “making it your own.” Finding the motivation to start doing DDPY is often the major hurdle for people, as it may entail trying things that were not originally part of their lifestyle. In addition to steadily completing the workouts, followers of DDPY are encouraged to reconsider their diets and overall attitude. When following all of these concepts, results are nearly guaranteed. Just ask military veteran Arthur Boorman , who previously walked with crutches and leg braces, or Jared Mollenkopf, who lost around 300 pounds in a little over a year.

Last March, Danny Danko and I had an opportunity to sit down with Doctor and Researcher Guillermo Velasco of Complutense University of Madrid, during Spannabis 2014. During that interview I brought up a topic that means a lot to me as a cannabis activist and cannabis industry professional. The myth of CBD only medicine.

The 61st episode of the Scottish Independence Podcast comes from a speech made at the Radical Independence Conference by Professor Ailsa McKay, who recently passed away.Ailsa was recommended to me on three separate occasions as someone who I should try to get onto the show. I tried to get in touch but was obviously unaware of her illness.Nevertheless, the aforementioned speech she made was available and I decided to put it out as an MP3 so that it might reach some people who didn't see it there.It's certainly worth it.Some of the work she did in her life is described on her Wikipedia page."McKay was Reader in Gender and Economics until her 2011 appointment as Professor of Economics at Glasgow Caledonian University. She also served as Vice Dean of the Glasgow School for Business and Society until 2013. She specialized in gender inequalities and the economics of the welfare state, and served as a consultant to the Scottish Parliament, the Irish Government, Her Majesty's Treasury, and the United Nations Development Programme. Since 2006, she held the visiting chair in gender studies at the Complutense University of Madrid, and was invited as an expert witness to give evidence during the budget process to the Scottish Parliament and the Parliament of Canada. She was a leading authority on gender budget analysis in the United Kingdom. She was also a business commentator for The Herald newspaper. In 2012 she was appointed by the Scottish Government as a member of the Expert Working Group on Welfare and Constitutional Reform."Hope you enjoy.
