Strong Sense of Place
Museums: A Gathering of Muses, A Clutch of Curators [re-post]

Strong Sense of Place

Museums are where we put our best stuff. An item might belong in a museum if it's rare, expensive, irreplaceable, or so ordinary and beloved it becomes extraordinary. A self-portrait by Vincent Van Gogh, a can of SPAM, a Romanian mud hut, a narwhal horn, a discarded red stiletto: They can all be found in a museum somewhere in the world. But exhibitions in museums are more than mere collections of striking items. Museums are vital institutions that take on the tasks of collecting, interpreting, and caring for artifacts so they can be experienced by the general public. The Ancient Greek word mouseion means ‘seat of Muses.' In classical antiquity, a museum was a place for contemplation and philosophical debate. When art moved from the open air, larger-than-life statuary of the Greco-Roman era to more intimate, human-scale paintings and objects, the definition of museum changed, too. It became a place to visit to see art — and anything placed in a museum became art. In this episode, we romp through the delightful hoarding behavior behind Renaissance Wunderkammers, learn about the first museum curator (spoiler: It was a woman!), and celebrate the majesty of the Louvre. Then we recommend books that transported us to museums around the world. Here are the books we recommend on the show: A Little History of Art by Charlotte Mullins A Parisian Cabinet of Curiosities: Deyrolle by Prince Louis Albert de Broglie Cabinets of Curiosities by Patrick Mauriès How to Enjoy Art by Ben Street Metropolitan Stories by Christine Coulson The Last Painting of Sara de Vos by Dominic Smith For more on the books we recommend, plus the other cool stuff we talk about, visit show notes at http://strongsenseofplace.com/podcasts/2022-07-18-museums Do you enjoy our show?

Ask Doctor Dawn
Scientific Curiosities: Snake Immunity, Animal Intelligence, and Exercise as Cancer Prevention

Ask Doctor Dawn

Broadcast from KSQD, Santa Cruz on 8-14-2025: Dr. Dawn shares the story of Tim Fried, a construction worker who deliberately exposed himself to 850 snake venom doses over 18 years to build immunity. An immunologist developed antivenom from Fried's antibodies that neutralizes venom from 19 deadly snake species, potentially saving thousands of lives annually from snakebite deaths. She describes cuttlefish sign language research revealing four specific arm movements. The cuttlefish respond to videos and water vibrations from these signs, suggesting complex communication abilities rather than simple mimicry, potentially comparable to octopus intelligence. New research challenges the assumption that Neanderthals were hyper-carnivores. While bone nitrogen levels suggested a meat-only diet, dental evidence showed plant consumption. Researchers now theorize Neanderthals ate maggots from rotting meat, which contain 43% more nitrogen than flesh and would explain the contradictory evidence between bone chemistry and tooth wear patterns. CPR guidelines may soon from the traditional ABC approach (airway, breathing, circulation) to focusing immediately on chest compressions. Research on 45 collapsed athletes showed that 27 who received inappropriate airway clearing died or remained comatose, while three who received immediate rapid chest compressions survived with potential for rehabilitation. The recommendationcould become 100-120 compressions per minute without preliminary airway management. Dr. Dawn presents reassuring statistics about spinal abnormalities in pain-free adults over 60. MRI studies show 90% have disc degeneration, 80% have disc bulges, and 40% have protrusions - yet these individuals have no back pain. This raises questions about attributing back pain to imaging findings when so many similar abnormalities exist in asymptomatic people. Australian cockatoos have learned to operate drinking fountains for entertainment rather than necessity. Researchers observed 70 birds attempting and 40 successfully using fountains, waiting in organized lines and taking turns, despite easier water sources being available nearby. An emailer asks about Essiac tea for cancer prevention. Dr. Dawn explains this herbal blend of burdock root, Indian rhubarb, sheep sorrel, and slippery elm shows promise in laboratory studies but lacks quality human research. While not harmful, no studies demonstrate reduced cancer recurrence rates, though the antioxidant properties may provide general health benefits. Another emailer inquires about lithium supplements for Alzheimer's prevention. Dr. Dawn discusses research showing lower brain lithium levels in Alzheimer's patients and how amyloid plaques trap lithium. Studies suggest lithium orotate (unlike lithium carbonate) isn't absorbed by plaques and may help memory in mice. Low-dose lithium orotate appears safe and mildly calming for humans. Groundbreaking research shows exercise dramatically improves colon cancer survival. A study of 900 patients found the exercise group had 80% five-year disease-free survival versus 74% in controls, with 40% reduced death risk. The intensive program required 10 METs weekly exercise with behavioral support sessions over three years. Dr. Dawn explores coffee's health benefits, noting humanity consumes 2 billion cups daily. Multiple studies show moderate consumption (3-4 cups) reduces breast cancer risk in postmenopausal women and slows Parkinson's progression. Compounds like cafestol and chlorogenic acids provide anti-inflammatory and antioxidant effects, though benefits disappear when adding significant cream or sugar. She warns about Chikungunya outbreaks in China affecting over 8,000 people. This mosquito-borne illness causes severe bone pain and can spread through blood transfusion. With increased global travel and climate change expanding mosquito ranges, Dr. Dawn emphasizes the importance of volunteering travel history to healthcare providers when presenting with fever and body aches.

He beautifully explains how the spiritual and natural worlds are deeply connected.Mystical Experiences: From a glowing fox apparition in his youth to the presence of saints in daily life, Brother Richard shares captivating stories of mystical encounters that highlight the importance of discernment and humility in spiritual practice.Christian Meditation and Mindfulness: Brother Richard emphasizes that contemplative practices have been integral to Christian tradition. He teaches that true meditation goes beyond mindfulness, leading to deeper compassion and spiritual growth.The Role of Saints: Saints, according to Brother Richard, are active and accessible guides who embody divine love and wisdom. He shares how saints like Saint Bridget continue to influence and assist us in our spiritual journeys.Respecting the Land: Drawing from Irish folklore and his own experiences, Brother Richard discusses the importance of living in harmony with the land and its spiritual beings. He shares practical wisdom on how to honor these ancient traditions in modern life.Curiosities and Intriguing Moments:The Golden Fox: Brother Richard recounts a mystical experience with a glowing fox, a moment that set the tone for his spiritual journey and connection with nature.Saint Bridget's Presence: A powerful encounter with Saint Bridget, confirmed by a coincidental photograph, illustrates the ongoing influence of saints in our lives.Folklore and Sacred Sites: The significance of ancient stone structures and the power of intention in spiritual practice are explored, offering a fascinating glimpse into the sacredness of the land.Modern Mindfulness: Brother Richard warns against treating mindfulness as an end rather than a beginning, stressing the need for deeper spiritual insight and transformation.

Welcome back to the studio.  This is My Day of Play, where you're taken into the real events and actions of how it happens long before the process of editing or cleaning up.  The original purpose of these episodes was to give my broadcasting students something to edit, to practice with and to call their own.  Then I realized that you are just as important.  Share the reality of how it really went.  We begin things with George Mehok whose newest book Going Dark will not open your eyes but get you mentally prepared for the terror caused by cyber terrorism. Then we'll step into the realms of Peter Ames Carlin who is all about the band REM.  He sees them as the greatest and last American Rock band of the millennium.  And we'll wrap things up with someone I've shared many many conversations with, the always amazing Aaron Mahnke.  His latest project is Cabinet of Curiosities a historical tour of the unbelievable, unsettling and the bizarre.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/arroe-collins-unplugged-totally-uncut--994165/support.

From the nature of neutron stars to the mysteries of gravitational waves, this episode is brimming with insights that will expand your understanding of the universe.Episode Highlights:- Neutron Stars vs. Pulsars: The episode opens with a thought-provoking question from Dean in Washington, D.C., asking whether all neutron stars are pulsars. Fred clarifies the distinction between these celestial objects, explaining that not all neutron stars emit pulsations, with many having “retired” from their energetic displays.- Gravitational Waves and Mass Conversion: New listener Ben dives into the complexities of merging neutron stars and the resulting gravitational waves. Fred explores the intricate relationship between mass and energy, shedding light on how these cosmic events contribute to our understanding of the universe's fabric.- Galactic Mysteries and the Big Bang: Craig from Marimbula raises intriguing questions about the implications of massive galaxies observed by the James Webb Space Telescope. Fred discusses how these findings fit into current cosmological models and the significance of the Big Bang theory in understanding the universe's age.- Meteors on Mars: Listener Martin from Bloomington, Indiana, wonders about the appearance of meteors on Mars compared to Earth.
