C. A. Christensen: A Mormon Visionary (University of Illinois Press; Amazon) Related work I've published: “‘In Their Promised Canaan Stand:' Outlawry, Landscape, and Memory in C. C. A. Christensen's Mormon Panorama,” BYU Studies Quarterly 60, no. 2 (2021). Highlights about C. C. A. Christensen: 1. C. C. A. Christensen was born to a poor family in Copenhagen, Denmark, in 1831. As a youth, he lived and studied at a poor house boarding school, before taking classes at the Royal Danish Academy of Fine Arts. 2. While he was an art student, the first Latter-day Saint missionaries arrived in Copenhagen. C. C. A. joined the Church in 1850. He threw himself into the work of learning the Gospel, reading the Book of Mormon, helping with Danish translations of hymns, helping his mother and brothers immigrate to Utah, and then serving a mission in Scandinavia before immigrating himself. His art training and career took a back seat to his religious commitments. 3. C. C. A. served three missions in Scandinavia. The first, in Norway, was from 1853 to 1857. He faced religious persecution and was jailed. Christensen returned from Utah to serve a second mission in Scandinavia from 1865 to 1868. He returned again to serve in Denmark from 1887 to 1889. 4. C. C. A. married Elise Haarby on the ship as they set off for Utah in 1857. They traveled across the plains as handcart pioneers. He later took a second wife, Maren Pettersen, in 1868. He had a total of 14 children, 12 of which lived to adulthood. 5. C. C. A. was the most prolific 19 th -century artist of Latter-day Saint history and scripture. He combined his European art training with Latter-day Saint beliefs and subjects. He also wrote extensively. He published poetry, essays, and letters to the editor. He helped write a history of the Scandinavian Mission. And yet, his work is not well known today. 6. The Mormon Panorama was a massive painted scroll detailing 23 scenes of early Mormon history. In the last quarter of the 19 th century, CCA and some of his family traveled around Utah cities in the winters giving presentations of the Mormon Panorama. It helped solidify the Saints' understanding of their history. 7. In 1886, Church leaders hired CCA to paint the creation room mural in the Manti Temple. It was recently restored and is still there today. 8. In 1890, C. C. A. won a contest to illustrate a Church flipchart on the life of Nephi. These 10 images were distributed by the Deseret Sunday School Union. 9. Christensen was fully dedicated to living his beliefs, often at great personal cost. The post C. C. A. Christensen with Jenny Champoux appeared first on The Cultural Hall Podcast.

Chris Chavez and Preet Majithia break down a chaotic weekend in American track and field headlined by a lead vehicle disaster at the USATF Half Marathon Championships and a slate of big results at the USATF Indoor Championships.Discussed:– The 2026 USATF Half Marathon Championships in Atlanta were thrown into chaos when a lead vehicle guided the top women off course in the final mile with Jess McClain holding a big lead at the time. Molly Born, who stayed on course, won in 69:43. McClain, Emma Grace Hurley and Ednah Kurgat all filed appeals immediately after.– USATF's jury of appeals acknowledged the course was inadequately marked but said it had “no recourse within the rulebook” to alter the results, which was a ruling that drew widespread backlash. Atlanta Track Club CEO Rich Kenah took full responsibility.–  Because the race served as the selection event for the 2026 World Athletics Road Running Championships in Copenhagen, the wrong turn didn't just cost the leaders prize money but also potentially cost them spots on Team USA. The selection situation is a tangled mess with no clean fix under current rules.– Cole Hocker won the men's 3,000m in a blanket finish in 7:39.25. Young missed the World Indoor team by .01 to Yared Nuguse after drifting off the rail in the home straight.– Emily Mackay won the women's 3,000m in a five-second personal best of 8:30.01, outkicking Elle St. Pierre in the final stretch for her first US title.– Hocker and Yared Nuguse then faded to 5th and 4th in Sunday's 1500m, won by former UW teammates Nathan Green and Luke Houser.– 17-year-old Cooper Lutkenhaus went 5-for-5 as a professional, winning the men's 800m in 1:46.68 with a tactically sharp performance.– Nikki Hiltz extended their US title streak to eight, winning the women's 1500m in 4:11.34.– Jordan Anthony won the men's 60m in 6.45, beating Trayvon Bromell and Noah Lyles.Plus: Tokyo Marathon recap, the Louis Hinchcliffe NCAA return and the Iowa State/Seth Clevenger doping investigation.____________Hosts: Chris Chavez | ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠@chris_j_chavez⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ + Preet Majithia | ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠@preet_athletics⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Produced by: Jasmine Fehr |⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠@jasminefehr⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠____________SUPPORT OUR SPONSORSOLIPOP: A blast from the past, Olipop's Shirley Temple combines smooth vanilla flavor with bright lemon and lime, finished with cherry juice for that nostalgic grenadine-like flavor.

Nutrition Nugget! Bite-sized bonus episodes offer tips, tricks and approachable science. This week, Jenn is talking about zero-calorie drinks and whether they are really the guilt-free option we have been led to believe. A well-known Copenhagen study compared four groups of people who drank a liter a day of regular soda, diet soda, milk, or water for six months, and the results were surprising enough to stop anyone mid-sip. Could a beverage with absolutely no calories still be working against your blood sugar, waistline and your metabolism? What do your gut, your pancreas, and even your taste buds have to do with it? Jenn digs into the science, questions the study's details, and shares what she has seen play out in real life with herself and her clients for years. But before you toss your diet soda or defend it to the end, you should hear what Jenn has to say about who this affects, why, and whether the calorie count on the label is telling you anywhere near the whole story.

Nick Turner, CEO of Dreamdata, joins Sam in this special episode of Topline Spotlight. They unpack a challenge many B2B leaders are facing right now: how do you raise capital in a market obsessed with AI when you're not an "AI-native" company? Nick shares his journey from CRO to CEO and what it was like stepping into the top job—only to immediately lead a $55M Series B raise in one of the toughest venture environments in recent history. After speaking with 73 investors in six weeks, he reflects on the realities of fundraising today, investor skepticism around revenue durability, and why profitable, efficient growth still wins. Nick brings nearly 20 years of commercial leadership experience scaling martech companies from Seed and Series A to $75M in revenue. Now leading Dreamdata—a Copenhagen-based B2B marketing attribution and activation platform—he's helping marketers prove what's working and take action on it.

Catastrophic cloudbursts are already reshaping Copenhagen. Instead of hiding the problem underground in massive pipes, what if rainwater could be used to improve everyday life in the city?  In this episode, host Michael Booth meets Mette Skjold, CEO and senior partner at landscape architecture studio SLA, to explore the transformation of Bispeparken, a former stretch of anonymous lawn turned into a nature-based climate adaptation project. Designed to manage extreme rainfall, the park uses bioswales, terrain and planting to slow and store water, while creating new spaces for play, rest and community life.  The conversation shows how landscape architecture can turn billion-euro flooding risks into a quality-of-life bonus, and why starting with nature may be the key to building more resilient, liveable cities.  Guest: Mette Skjold, CEO & Senior Partner, SLA  Host: Michael Booth  Let's Talk Architecture is a podcast by Danish Architecture Center.

A year after sharing a £10 supper with 200 strangers in Copenhagen's Absalon - an old church turned community hub - Sheila asks whether that experience could be recreated in the UK. After all, communal meals here are often one-offs, sometimes pricey, or feel like generous soup kitchens. In this edition, Sheila meets people determined to change that; Ingrid Wakeling and Phil Holtam from Sussex Surplus are running trial communal dining events in Brighton, using surplus food to bring strangers together. Anna Chworow from Nourish Scotland is helping shape two pilot public diners - subsidised, everyday restaurants designed for everyone, while Jon Harper from Future Foundations explains how CanTeam is turning school canteens into community dining rooms. Sheila also visits The Long Table in Stroud - a pay-what-you-can community restaurant - to meet co-founder Tom Herbert, and is joined there by zero‑waste chef Max La Manna and Carly Trisk‑Grove from The Public Plate, who want every community to have their own low‑cost restaurant. Together, they discuss what it would take to make their dreams reality - and why they believe it matters.Presented by Sheila Dillon Produced for BBC Audio in Bristol by Natalie Donovan.More info: Communal Dining -Part 1: https://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/m0028l2c The Long Table: https://thelongtableonline.com/ The Public Plate (Carly Trisk-Grove's project): https://www.thepublicplate.com/about Nourish Scotland project: https://www.nourishscotland.org/projects/public-diners/ Right to Food Commission (Ian Byrne MP's project): https://www.ianbyrne.org/rtfcommission Sussex Surplus (Brighton): https://www.sussexsurplus.org/ CanTeam: http://www.canteam.org/ NB: Be aware these links take you to external non-BBC websites.

BUFFALO, NY — February 19, 2026 — A new #research paper was #published in Volume 18 of Aging-US on February 8, 2026, titled “Single-cell transcriptomics reveal intrinsic and systemic T cell aging in COVID-19 and HIV.” In this study, co-first authors Alan Tomusiak from the Buck Institute for Research on Aging and the University of Southern California, and Sierra Lore from the Buck Institute for Research on Aging and the University of Copenhagen, together with corresponding author Eric Verdin from the Buck Institute for Research on Aging, developed a new single-cell transcriptomic clock called T immune cell transcriptomic clock (Tictock) to measure aging in specific immune cells. Immune aging increases susceptibility to infection, cancer, and chronic inflammatory disease. Most aging clocks, used to measure it, rely on bulk measurements from mixed cell populations. As a result, they cannot determine whether age-related signals reflect shifts in cell proportions or true molecular aging within defined immune cells. To address this limitation, the research team used single-cell RNA sequencing, a method that measures gene expression in individual cells. They analyzed nearly two million immune cells from the blood of healthy adults to develop Tictock. This tool integrates automated classification of six canonical T cell subsets with cell-type specific age prediction models. This design enables the separation of systemic aging, reflected by changes in cell proportions, from intrinsic aging, which occurs within individual cells. When the team applied Tictock to patients with acute COVID-19, they found two clear effects. First, COVID-19 altered T cell composition, including significant reductions in naïve CD8 and naïve CD4 T cells. Second, the infection increased the biological age of naïve CD8 T cells. In people living with HIV who were receiving long-term antiretroviral therapy, T cell proportions remained largely stable. However, naïve CD8 T cells still showed signs of accelerated aging. The study also uncovered shared biological pathways linked to immune aging. Many of the genes that predicted age were involved in ribosomes, the structures that help cells produce proteins. The researchers also observed that older immune cells often had shorter average transcript lengths, a feature previously linked to aging. These findings suggest that changes in protein production and gene regulation play an important role in immune decline. “Gene Ontology enrichment of 209 genes shared across six clock models identified common pathways including the cytosolic small ribosomal subunit, TNF receptor binding, and cytosolic ribosome components.” Overall, Tictock was designed to measure relative aging within defined T cell populations rather than overall biological aging. By distinguishing systemic from cell-intrinsic immune aging, it provides a clearer understanding of how viral infections such as COVID-19 and HIV reshape immune function. This approach enables the study of immune aging at single-cell resolution and may support improved immune risk assessment in clinical and research settings.

Welcome to Unpacked, Five Questions, a podcast that takes you behind the scenes of one great travel story. In this episode, host and Afar executive editor Katherine LaGrave sits down with contributing writer Lisa Abend, a Copenhagen‑based journalist known for her deep reporting on food, culture, and the ways travel shapes communities. For her latest Afar feature, Lisa embarked on an ambitious road trip across northern Spain to visit five tiny towns where some of the country's most exciting chefs are opening destination restaurants — and, in the process, helping revive regions long affected by depopulation. Lisa shares how she first discovered this movement, why these chefs are choosing villages of just a few hundred residents over major cities, and how their restaurants are sparking unexpected ripple effects — from new guesthouses to revived local food traditions. She also talks about the surprising absence of seafood in northern Spain's inland kitchens, the emotional family histories behind many of these restaurants, and why chatting with gas‑station attendants might be the best road‑trip advice you'll hear all year. On this episode you'll learn: Why some of Spain's most ambitious chefs are opening restaurants in remote villages How food tourism can help counter rural depopulation What makes northern Spain's regional cultures so distinct — from language to landscape to cuisine Why hyperlocal cooking in these towns often excludes seafood, even when the coast is close How family history shapes the stories these chefs tell on the plate Don't miss these moments: [03:00] The Madrid chef conference that sparked Lisa's reporting [05:00] How a single restaurant can create a ripple effect across a small town [07:00] The surprising reason none of these restaurants serve seafood [14:00] Lisa's best advice for road‑tripping across northern Spain [16:00] The gas‑station cherry exchange that became an unforgettable travel moment [21:00] The “pregnant bun” dish Lisa would eat again in a heartbeat [22:00] How family stories — and even abandoned villages — shaped the chefs' menus Resources Read Lisa's full Afar feature on Spain's small‑town culinary revolution Follow Lisa Abend for more food and travel reporting Explore Afar's Spain travel guides Visit the restaurants Lisa mentions in the episode and her story: Versátil, Monte, Arrea!, Ansils, Fuentelgato  Be sure to subscribe to the show and sign up for our podcast newsletter, Behind the Mic, where we share upcoming episodes and behind‑the‑scenes details.

In Episode 50 of Chain Reactions, Blake sits down with Nadia Sergujuk, Co-Founder of Lagoon, the permissionless vault management infrastructure that wants to become the State Street of digital assets. With a background spanning Danish law schools, PWC Legal in London, hedge funds managing $10B+ in AUM, and VC investing in deep tech, Nadia brings a rare cross-disciplinary lens to one of the fastest-growing categories in DeFi.We cover:– How Nadia went from law school in Copenhagen to hedge funds in London to co-founding an on-chain vault protocol– What vault management infrastructure actually is and why every stablecoin dollar eventually needs one– Why Lagoon's team put their own capital in first and how word of mouth drove early traction– The stablecoin explosion, neo banks in emerging markets, and why the digital dollar is eating the world– Privacy on-chain, the rise of institutional chains, and what keeps Nadia up at night (hint: quantum computing and the triple bubble)We also get into regulation as a tailwind, why Japan is the most slept-on institutional market in crypto, the innovator's dilemma facing Western Union and Visa, and why founder-led marketing beats KOLs every time.Timestamps00:00 – Going live and Nadia joins from the Swiss Alps04:00 – From law school in Denmark to hedge funds in London06:30 – First exposure to Bitcoin in 2016 (and not buying it)08:20 – COVID, DeFi summer, and going all in on crypto09:30 – Meeting co-founder Remy at a conference in Bogota11:27 – What is Lagoon?

Hans blik var fæstnet på brevet foran sig.En: Inside his office, Niels, a history professor with a secret fascination for unsolved mysteries, sat with his gaze fixed on the letter before him.Da: Brevet kom uden afsender.En: The letter came with no sender.Da: Der var kun en enkelt sætning: "Under isen ligger sandheden."En: There was only a single sentence: "Under the ice lies the truth."Da: Niels kiggede ud af det store vindue og mærkede en gysen ved tanken om, hvad der kunne ligge under den frosne overflade af Nyhavn.En: Niels looked out of the large window, feeling a shiver at the thought of what might lie beneath the frozen surface of Nyhavn.Da: Niels elskede gåder, men dette brev bragte uro.En: Niels loved mysteries, but this letter brought unease.Da: Han vidste, at han måtte finde ud af, hvad det betød.En: He knew he had to find out what it meant.Da: Men var det klogt?En: But was it wise?Da: Kunne han stole på Kaj og Ingrid, hans nærmeste venner?En: Could he trust Kaj and Ingrid, his closest friends?Da: De havde altid støttet ham, men han frygtede for deres sikkerhed.En: They had always supported him, but he feared for their safety.Da: Alligevel besluttede Niels sig for at følge instruktionerne.En: Nevertheless, Niels decided to follow the instructions.Da: Han var ikke en mand, der vendte tilbage, når først han havde sat sig et mål.En: He was not a man who turned back once he set himself a goal.Da: Han gik ned til havnen, hans sko knirkede i sneen.En: He went down to the harbor, his shoes creaking in the snow.Da: Kaj og Ingrid mødte ham ved kajen.En: Kaj and Ingrid met him at the quay.Da: Niels havde talt med dem i telefonen og kunne ikke skjule sin nervøsitet.En: Niels had spoken with them on the phone and could not hide his nervousness.Da: Han fortalte dem om brevet.En: He told them about the letter.Da: Ingrid kiggede skeptisk, men blev også nysgerrig.En: Ingrid looked skeptical but also curious.Da: Kaj rystede på hovedet, "Det lyder farligt, men jeg er med."En: Kaj shook his head, "It sounds dangerous, but I'm in."Da: De bevægede sig hen mod den del af havnen, som Niels mente kunne huse en hemmelighed.En: They moved toward the part of the harbor that Niels thought could hold a secret.Da: Der var en lille båd, som kunne komme tættere på isen.En: There was a small boat that could get closer to the ice.Da: De satte sig forsigtigt ind.En: They carefully got in.Da: Niels brugte en hakke til at bryde isen.En: Niels used a pick to break the ice.Da: De andre hjalp.En: The others helped.Da: Pludselig brød en stor bane af is, og en trækasse kom til syne.En: Suddenly, a large sheet of ice broke away, and a wooden crate emerged.Da: Hans hjerte bankede hurtigere.En: His heart beat faster.Da: Men de var ikke alene.En: But they were not alone.Da: En skikkelse kom frem fra skyggerne.En: A figure emerged from the shadows.Da: En mand, der også havde fulgt brevet.En: A man who had also followed the letter.Da: "Det er min," råbte han.En: "It's mine," he shouted.Da: Niels stod fast.En: Niels stood firm.Da: "Vi deler det."En: "We share it."Da: Kaj og Ingrid stod ved hans side.En: Kaj and Ingrid stood by his side.Da: De åbnede kassen og fandt gamle dokumenter og kort.En: They opened the crate and found old documents and maps.Da: Det var en skat, ja, men ikke materielt.En: It was a treasure, yes, but not a material one.Da: Skatten var en del af Københavns historie, bevaret gennem tidens tand.En: The treasure was a part of Copenhagen's history, preserved through the ages.Da: Manden trak sig væk med et tilfreds smil.En: The man withdrew with a satisfied smile.Da: "Jeg ville bare sikre mig, det blev fundet af de rette."En: "I just wanted to make sure it was found by the right people."Da: Da Niels kom hjem, reflekterede han over dagen.En: When Niels came home, he reflected on the day.Da: Det var aldrig skatten, han søgte.En: It was never the treasure he sought.Da: Det var eventyret, forståelsen for gåderne og at dele sin rejse.En: It was the adventure, the understanding of mysteries, and sharing his journey.Da: Han følte sig mere forbundet til Kaj og Ingrid end nogensinde før.En: He felt more connected to Kaj and Ingrid than ever before.Da: Næste dag, da sneen fortsat faldt over Nyhavn, samlede de sig igen.En: The next day, as the snow continued to fall over Nyhavn, they gathered again.Da: Niels havde en lille gave til hver af dem - kopier af deres fund.En: Niels had a small gift for each of them—copies of their find.Da: De skålede med varm kakao på caféen ved vandet.En: They toasted with hot cocoa at the café by the water.Da: Det var begyndelsen på mange eventyr sammen.En: It was the beginning of many adventures together.Da: Niels havde åbnet sig for verden, og det føltes godt.En: Niels had opened himself to the world, and it felt good.

Some might say that the most Danish piece of furniture is the chair. The Swan Chair, the Egg Chair, the Wishbone chair. They're all international design classics. You can buy a poster with 100 of the top Danish chairs, and if you go to Designmuseum Danmark there is a hall of chairs you can walk through, the display cases stacked three high. Chairs, chairs, everywhere. But I think the most Danish piece of furniture is the table. It is where traditional Danish cuisine is enjoyed, and sitting around the table, and sitting and sitting and sitting there for hours after a long meal, is where hygge reigns and people are included – or excluded, as the case may be. A dinner invitation in Denmark A dinner invitation to someone's home is an honor in Denmark, and people often dress better for it than they might dress for work. Ladies put on a pretty ruffled blouse, men might wear a suit jacket or at least a shirt with buttons. And everyone arrives precisely on time. There's no such thing as fashionably late in Denmark; that's not the Danish dinner party customs. For a dinner party like this, the host or hostess will set an elaborate table. There will be cloth napkins in napkin rings, probably some candles, maybe a few carefully chosen flowers as a centerpiece, not so many that you can't see the person on the other side of the table. And there will be different glasses for different drinks. Water glasses, wine glasses, and often tiny little glasses for toasting with aquavit. Setting a beautiful table is a Danish art form. Bring out the Royal Copenhagen dishes Dinner parties are usually a very good time to bring out the Royal Copenhagen dishes. You can't talk about Danish tables without talking about Royal Copenhagen, that blue and white porcelain first produced in 1775.  At the time, porcelain was a real marvel. It's hard to believe now, we're all so used to looking at antique shops full of unwanted dishes and kitchy porcelain figurines, but at the time, porcelain was the stuff of kings.  If you think Royal Copenhagen porcelain is just for tourists and ladies of a certain age, think again. It is hugely popular among young people. I work part time in a shop and I sell a lot of Royal Copenhagen porcelain to women in their 20s. Two great business decisions from Royal Copenhagen That's because of two great business decisions. First of all, Royal Copenhagen, which is now owned by a Finnish company, keeps updating its patterns. The hand-painted dishes you buy now are not the hand-painted dishes grandma used to have with their little bitty lacy patterns, although you can still buy those if you want them.  But the most popular patterns now are bigger and bolder, still in the same cobalt blue. And you can put them in the dishwasher. Breakage guarantee means you actually use your dishes Secondly, in a strategy that should be studied by marketing students, they have a breakage guarantee. If a piece of your fancy porcelain breaks within two years of purchase, you get a new one for free. This is to encourage people to actually eat off their plates, and use their coffee cups for coffee, instead of stashing them in a glass cupboard where people will look at them and dust them but never use them. If you're Danish and are welcoming a new colleague to the country, or maybe the international spouse of a Danish friend, a piece of Royal Copenhagen to start their collection is a nice gift. A team of co-workers did this for my housewarming when I first got here. I still have it.

Bobby Anwar is a street photographer based in Copenhagen, Denmark. We spoke in December fittingly while he was on the street making pictures and taking in a time of year which is much quieter for him. We discussed his work with Oberworth, his start in photography and where he wants to go next. I loved chatting to him and hope you enjoy our conversation.More about this show:A camera is just a tool but spend enough time with photographers and you'll see them go misty eyed when they talk about their first camera or a small fast prime that they had in their youth. Prime Lenses is a series of interviews with photographers talking about their photography by way of three lenses that mean a lot to them. These can be interchangeable, attached to a camera, integrated into a gadget, I'm interested in the sometimes complex relationship we have with the tools we choose, why they can mean so much and how they make us feel.

In this first installment of our conversation with Greg Taylor, Ian Priston explores what it means to remember a cultural moment from the inside, not as nostalgia, but as lived perception. Greg reconstructs his introduction to Pink Floyd through a series of encounters: a poster on King's Road, the underground press, the first shock of a single, and the genuinely unfamiliar experience of the Floyd's early vision performed amid kinetic sculpture and liquid light. Rather than treating Syd Barrett era Floyd as a set of canonical artefacts, Greg's incredible recollections move between the tangible (equipment, ticketing, sight-lines and the physical layout of venues) as well as the interpretative (Barrett's “painterly” logic in sound, the band's rejection of conventional stage charisma and the early tension between pop, mainstream visibility and avant-garde intent). Part 1 ends with the story still in motion, moving towards Greg's attendance of a five-man Floyd Concert in January 1968 and the next phase of the group's evolution. Part 2 arrives next month, so stay tuned!Subscribe for more, and share your own recollections or questions in the comments.

In this episode, we speak with Assistant Professor of Environmental Humanities at the University of Copenhagen, Katy Overstreet. Katy is coordinator for the Landscapes, Senses, and Ecological Research Cluster as well as a core-member of the Centre for Sustainable Futures – both located at the University of Copenhagen. Katy's core fields of research include multispecies ethnography, environmental anthropology, feminist STS, and agrarian political economy, and she has written on themes such as farm animal welfare, foodways, bioindustrialisation, technoscience, trans-species sensory worlds, and care. Her main ethnographic fieldsites include the midwestern dairy worlds of the United States, and various sites in Denmark including pig farms, an insect farm, and a former brown coal mine. Across these sites, Katy has worked with a lot of different co-species social formations and technoscientifically modulated ways of living and dying in agriculture, and in today's episode, she will speak to some of these, focusing on the relations between microbes, cows, and humans in raw milk consumption, production, and politics. The basis for our conversation is a talk that Katy gave on the day before we recorded the podcast as part of the BSAS seminar series. Her talk was titled ‘Digestive belonging: a microbial ethnography of raw milk in America's Dairyland'. In the podcast, Katy unravels the notion of ‘digestive belonging' in this ethnographic context, connecting it to farmlife, microbes, social landscapes, pasteurization politics, and rural nostalgia among other things. We further discuss different modes of care in animal farming practices, the cultivation of trans-species sensing, and the idea of ‘positive animal welfare'. The podcast was recorded in October 2025 when Katy was in Bergen to give a presentation as part of the Bergen Social Anthropology Seminar series.

You don't retire from being an artist. It's not a job title , it's the way you move through the world.What if your creativity could take you across the world, and then back home to yourself? In this beautiful and grounding conversation, I sit down with art therapist Emily Sharp to talk about what it really looks like to build a creative life that supports your nervous system instead of burning it out.Emily shares her journey from running two fast-paced art therapy offices in New York, filled with back-to-back sessions, home visits, and constant hustle, to creating an online practice that aligns with her move to Copenhagen and her new season of family life. We talk about making art anywhere in the world, how creativity is something you never age out of, and why being an artist isn't something you clock in and out of , it's a way of living.If you've ever wondered whether your creativity could carry you somewhere new… this episode is your permission slip.Two Takeaway Tips:1. Design Your Creative Life Around Your Energy — Not the Hustle.Burnout isn't a badge of honour. If your creativity is draining you instead of fuelling you, it might be time to reshape how you work. Online offerings, retreats, community spaces — there are more ways than ever to build a life that supports your art and your wellbeing.2. Make Art Wherever You Are.You don't need the perfect studio or the perfect season of life. Creativity travels with you. Whether you're in New York, Copenhagen, your kitchen table, or Greece — you are still an artist. It's not something you retire from. It's who you are.

Stijn Schmitz welcomes Henrik Zeberg to the show. Henrik Zeberg is Head Macro Economist at Swissblock. In this in-depth discussion, Zeberg provides a comprehensive analysis of the current economic landscape, focusing on potential market dynamics and an impending economic recession. Zeberg argues that the current market, particularly in technology and AI, resembles the dot-com bubble, with valuations reaching unsustainable levels. He suggests that while AI will indeed be transformative, the current market exuberance is reminiscent of previous technological bubbles where expectations far outpace immediate economic realities. The market capitalization to GDP ratio currently stands at approximately 230%, compared to 137% during the dot-com bubble, indicating extreme market overvaluation. Regarding the economic outlook, Zeberg predicts a recession starting no later than the second quarter of 2026, potentially in March or April. He points to significant weaknesses in the job market, with job creation at its lowest levels in 50 years and a growing disconnect between the financial world and real economic conditions. The labor market indicators suggest a substantial economic slowdown, with 50% of consumer spending coming from just 10% of the population. Henrik anticipates a complex economic cycle involving an initial deflationary period followed by potential inflationary pressures. He expects the Federal Reserve will attempt to intervene, potentially creating a market rally before an eventual significant market correction. He suggests that investors should be prepared for volatility and consider hard assets like real estate, commodities, and precious metals as potential long-term investments. In terms of investment strategy, Zeberg recommends controlling emotional responses, avoiding getting caught in market euphoria, and being patient. He believes the current environment requires careful navigation, with potential opportunities emerging after a meaningful market pullback. The key is understanding that the era of double-digit growth in speculative assets is likely coming to an end.

This content is educational only and not a substitute for medical care from your physician.Chapter 1 — Resetting the Gut (DMR)The first approach is called Duodenal Mucosal Resurfacing (DMR).The theory is that while you're on GLP-1 medication, the part of the stomach that normally produces appetite-regulating hormones becomes dormant. After long enough, it may struggle to restart when medication stops.DMR removes the top layer of the stomach lining using a heated endoscope. This forces regeneration of fresh cells that produce appetite-controlling hormones.In a short three-month study, patients who underwent the procedure did not regain weight after stopping medication — some continued to lose.This sounds dramatic, but the technique is already FDA-approved for other stomach conditions. It is not yet approved for weight management, but it shows where research is heading.Chapter 2 — Retraining the Brain (rTMS)The second approach targets the brain instead of the gut.It's called Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (rTMS) — already used for depression treatment.Magnetic coils stimulate appetite control centers in the brain. After just five weeks of treatment, participants lost as much weight over a year as those taking semaglutide for a full year.This is early research, but it suggests appetite control may eventually be trained neurologically rather than chemically.Chapter 3 — Exercise as Hormone RehabilitationThe third approach is the most practical and immediately available: structured exercise.Researchers at the University of Copenhagen studied people stopping GLP-1 medication after a year of use.Those who followed a structured program of resistance and cardio training regained almost no weight — averaging about five pounds over a year.Those returning to sedentary habits regained most of their weight.Exercise appeared to restore the body's natural GLP-1-like hormone production.This is not about willpower.It's biological rehabilitation.Closing — A Changing LandscapeThese three approaches show that weight regain after GLP-1 is not inevitable.The science is evolving quickly.I'll continue tracking new developments and sharing updates here.Thanks for listeninGary Pepper, M.D., an associate professor at a prominent medical school and endocrinologist with 40 years of experience, brings clarity to numerous topics within the field of metabolic health.

After concerns that honey from overseas is being watered down with cheap rice and corn syrups, Sheila Dillon investigates the scale of global honey fraud. It's a story of complex international supply chains with the world's food security at its heart. In 2023, the European Commission found that 46 per cent of the honey it sampled was suspected to be fraudulent. Just last year at the World Beekeeping Awards the prize for Best Honey had to be cancelled after fears that adulterated honey might be entered. The fake version can be very difficult to detect and beekeepers warn that it is forcing down the price of honey, potentially driving them out of business.So how serious an issue has international honey fraud become and how concerned should consumers in the UK be? Sheila visits Bermondsey Street bees in Essex in search of answers and speaks to the UK's two biggest honey producers - Rowse and Hilltop Honey. Food fraud expert Professor Chris Elliott from Queen's University Belfast analyses the situation and Robin Markwell reports from Copenhagen where the world's largest convention of beekeepers was recently held. Produced for BBC Audio in Bristol by Robin Markwell

Bad Bunny, Billie Eilish, Shaboozey and a Grammy Tsunami Slams ICE and Trump. Danish Veterans March Against Trump. Groundhog Day is VERY 2026. Super Bowl Week Begins.Girl Scout Cookies! This Groundhog Day 2026,Paul emerges from the cold of the weekend like the Puxatawny Phil of news in an episode 431 to barrel into the start of February and off a freezing trip to Philly that reflects a growing, nationwide fury at ICE's abuses. He lays out why he believes ICE's culture is rotten to the core, details ProPublica's naming of the federal agents involved in the killing of Alex Pretti, and explains how expanding warrantless raids from Minnesota to Utah are shredding the Constitution in real time. Paul connects this crackdown to Trump's escalating war on protest and the press, where peaceful protesters are smeared as “domestic terrorists” and “communist insurrectionists” to justify possible use of the Insurrection Act and even active-duty troops against American citizens.​ The episode also hits Trump's broader assault on the free press, from reports of gagged MAGA-friendly media to relentless attacks on ProPublica, NPR, Jimmy Kimmel, and others, while Paul shares a chilling example of violent threats he receives on Elon Musk's X for speaking out.  Abroad, he highlights thousands of Danish veterans marching against Trump in Copenhagen over his disrespect for NATO, Iran's brutal execution of former soccer star Mojtaba Tarshid after protests, the fragile ceasefire and reopened Rafah crossing, and Ukrainians fighting to keep a 51-year-old gorilla named Tony warm amid freezing Russian attacks. Back home, Paul spotlights a political shocker in Texas, where Democrat and Air Force veteran Taylor Remit flipped a deep-red congressional district that Trump carried by 17 points, powered by independents and disaffected Republicans. He uses the upset to explain how independents are surging and are now the decisive needle in American politics, previews a virtual town hall with Open Primaries and independent veteran Senate candidates Ty Pickens and Todd Achilles, and weaves in culture and sports—from the Grammys' anti-ICE tipping point and Bad Bunny's Super Bowl halftime show to Seahawks–Patriots, Knicks magic, and OKC's rise—and closing as always with “Something Good good”.
