Episode Title: Sleep, Stress, and Exercise for Mental Health with Cognitive Neuroscientist, Justin Verlinden Description: In this episode of the Elevate Yourself podcast, Rob is joined by cognitive neuroscientist, Justin Verlinden, to explore the intersection of sleep, stress, and exercise on mental health. Justin provides valuable insights into how exercise-induced stress impacts the body and how sleep plays a crucial role in helping our bodies recover and recalibrate. Since Justin's last appearance on the show, he's been busy uncovering new findings in his field, and he's excited to share what he's learned. He dives into the science of exercise's effects on stress and how sleep can help us process and recover from it. He also touches on an important question: Does the timing of exercise impact sleep quality, and how does core temperature come into play? As we wrap up the episode, Justin answers rapid-fire questions, giving us a personal peek into his daily routines, insights, and how his thinking has evolved since his last visit. Justin's Bio: Justin Verlinden is a Cognitive Neuroscience PhD Candidate co-mentored by Dr. Lauren Whitehurst and Dr. Jessica Weafer (formerly at University of Kentucky, presently at Ohio State University). Whose research to-date has been centered on the following topics: Sleep as a treatment target for at-risk drinking Sex differences in the relationship between sleep and alcohol use Next-day consequences of drinking on cognition With the help of his mentors and collaborators, he has received training in and utilized a variety of research modalities and skills throughout his career, including: Intravenous alcohol administration Alcohol skin biosensors Polysomnography Actigraphy At-home diaries R programming Feel free to reach out to him via email (justinverlinden@uky.edu) or on IG (@_veezy13) if you would like to learn more about him or his work.

Why do so many people get into conservation because of a love of animals, only to discover that it's all about people?And why if you're interested in working as a social scientist particularly, should you focus on improving on your softer skills, especially if you want to get ahead in your career?We discuss these questions and many more with today's guest Dr Laura Thomas-Walters.Laura is the Deputy Director of Experimental Research for the Yale Program on Climate Change Communication. She describes herself as an environmental social scientist with a focus on behaviour change who works closely with governments and NGOs to enact change through research.In this episode, we delve deep into the fascinating world of conservation science and climate change communication.Laura shares her journey into conservation, driven by a passion for big, cuddly animals, and how it evolved into a focus on behaviour change and climate activism.We explore the multifaceted nature of Laura's research, from demand reduction in the wildlife trade to linking extreme weather events with climate change.We also discuss the importance of cultural awareness, interdisciplinary collaboration, and the challenges of transitioning between academia and government work.Finally, Laura also provides valuable insights into the soft skills needed for conservation social science and offers advice for aspiring conservationists on how to navigate the complexities of this field.It's a social-scienceing, climate-communicating, behaviour-changing podchat. Enjoy.

In this episode of Experiments that Changed Fire Science we cover T. Jin's experiments on the visibility in smoke – two experiments carried out in 1970 and 1971 in Japan that truly changed the way how we model fires and how we design fire safety in our buildings.This episodes presents my recollection of Jin's experiments, based on the published work – the seminal paper at the IAFSS in 1997 (https://publications.iafss.org/publications/fss/5/3/view/fss_5-3.pdf) and the original material published in Japanese in 1970 and 1971:Jin, T. (1970). Visibility through Fire Smoke (I). Bulletin of the Fire Prevention Society of Japan, 19(2).Jin, T. (1971). Visibility through Fire Smoke (II). Bulletin of the Fire Prevention Society of Japan, 21(1).In the episode, I highlight the technical details of the experiments and their potential impact on the findings. I also present the overall model proposed by Jin, indicating the variables that influence it, and my recollection of how this model was implemented in modern fire safety engineering.Further readings to this would be some of my papers:Węgrzyński, W., & Vigne, G.

Dialogues In Longevity - A discussion with Dr. Aubrey de Grey & Dr. Michael Rose about the past, present and future of longevity biotechnology Host - Ira S. Pastor Special thanks to longevity advocate Eric Schulke (https://ruliaderic.wordpress.com/) for helping to organize and coordinate the episode - Dr. Aubrey de Grey, Ph.D., is President & Chief Science Officer of the Longevity Escape Velocity (LEV) Foundation ( https://www.levf.org/ ), an organization focused on proactively identifying and addressing the most challenging obstacles on the path to the widespread availability of genuinely effective treatments to prevent and reverse human age-related disease. Dr. de Grey is internationally recognized as a visionary biomedical gerontologist who devised the Strategies for Engineered Negligible Senescence: a comprehensive set of methods to rejuvenate the human body, thereby preventing age-related ill health and mortality. He has co-founded multiple non-profit organizations – including Methuselah Foundation, SENS Research Foundation, and now LEV Foundation – to specifically enable and accelerate its development and clinical translation. Dr. de Grey received his BA in Computer Science and Ph.D. in Biology from the University of Cambridge in 1985 and 2000, respectively. He is the author of 'The Mitochondrial Free Radical Theory of Aging', 'Ending Aging', and a large number of academic papers. Dr. de Grey is a Fellow of both the Gerontological Society of America and the American Aging Association, and sits on the advisory boards of numerous scientific journals and research organizations. He is a prolific speaker who regularly presents at conferences and events world-wide. Dr. Michael Rose, Ph.D. ( https://www.faculty.uci.edu/profile/?facultyId=5261 ) is the Director of the Network for Experimental Research on Evolution (NERE), and Professor in the Department of Ecology and Evolutionary Biology at the University of California, Irvine, where his main area of work over the years has been the evolution of aging. He received his PhD from the University of Sussex in 1978. In 1991, Dr. Rose published seminal work per his text 'Evolutionary Biology of Aging' exploring a view of the subject based on antagonistic pleiotropy, the hypothesis that aging is caused by genes that have two effects, one acting early in life and the other much later. The genes are favored by natural selection as a result of their early-life benefits, and the costs that accrue much later appear as incidental side-effects that we identify as aging. Dr. Rose's laboratory has conducted the longest-running artificial selection experiment designed to test the theory of antagonistic pleiotropy using Fruit flies (Drosophila melanogaster) bred for longevity by collecting eggs from the longest-lived flies in each generation. The experiment has run since 1981, and has produced flies with quadruple the original life span. In 1997, Dr. Rose was awarded the Busse Research Prize by the World Congress of Gerontology. He has authored 10 books, including 'The Long Tomorrow: How Advances in Evolutionary Biology Can Help Us Postpone Aging'. Support the show

Timestamps & Summary Vicky Brisson (02:20)In the last decade, modeling is a research method that's growing in popularity. However, mathematical modeling and livestock nutrition has been around for much longer than that. Can you explain models and what limitations they have?Dr. Jennifer EllisA model can be anything from a single equation to a set of dozens or even thousands of equations, which represent, in our case, the behavior of a biological system. So, scientists will use models to help represent bits of the real world and to either aid our understanding of complex systems or as a tool to help make predictions. […]Vicky Brisson (06:03)How do models help us turn data into knowledge that actually helps our industry innovate in areas?Dr. Jennifer EllisIf you ever get the chance, you should really take a look at the Ackoff or DIKW Pyramid which essentially describes the steps required to transform data into information and then information into knowledge and then knowledge into wisdom. It's really fascinating when you start looking at that. But essentially, as you point out, data on its own is really just a series of signals. And with just data, we know nothing, right? Data only starts to become useful, or it becomes information when we provide context to that data. […]So essentially, moving us up this pyramid is the task of research, and it's the task of models to translate data into actionable wisdom. […]Vicky Brisson (09:04)Your lab is unique in the sense that you use models to expand nutritional research for many different species, and that includes dairy cattle, veal, turkey, and horses. Can you share with us how that came to be and how your modeling approach is shaped by what we like to call cross-pollination of many different fields of study?Dr. Jennifer EllisI started as a ruminant nutrition and metabolism modeler in my master's and Ph.D. And from there, I think, rather organically, I began to get pulled into projects for other species. And in fact, when I went into industry, I was filling the role as a poultry modeler. So, I think throughout my career, modeling has been a skill set. And it's a skill that can be applied to a myriad of problems, topics, and species. And I think across species, animals have more in common than you might think initially. And I think we too often stay in our species silos. […]Vicky Brisson (11:50)How can models support on-farm decision-making?Dr. Jennifer EllisAt the moment, many models are used and applied by what I call expert users within various companies. And those companies will support producers in making on-farm decisions. So, you think of your nutritionist, for example. And those models are used to forecast different scenarios and how suggested changes may impact outcomes such as performance, sustainability, andeconomics. They can really be used to examine, “what if” scenarios, what if we did this change? What if we made this adjustment? What kind of outcome are we expecting to see now? […]Vicky Brisson (13:38)Based on your experience, why do you believe that modeling is a skill that students should invest time into exploring and why has that become such a big part of what you do at the University of Guelph?Dr. Jennifer EllisI think as the agriculture sector becomes more and more digitized, with more and more data being collected, it will need more and more graduates entering the workforce with the ability to analyze and interpret and service these digital tools or models. So, for me, my biggest piece of advice for students now is to actually learn a coding language. Become computationally competent. The challenge the industry has at the moment is that people with that combined skill set, a knowledge of animal production systems plus digital competency, is low. […]I think that that's a skill that will become more and more in demand. […]Vicky Brisson (15:21)How would you define the future of modeling? What will be the main challenges in this area of research and innovation?Dr. Jennifer EllisI think the future of modeling is really interesting. And I think what we'll see is the merging of traditional biological understanding based modeling, which we commonly refer to as mechanistic modeling, blending that with emerging data streams and the accompanying machine learning algorithms that are best suited to analyze them. […]For all of these new modeling methodologies, I think the biggest challenge will be getting robust and variable enough data to develop them so that they become good models to make forecasts from. […]Vicky Brisson (18:54)Can you share three take-home messages for nutritionists, veterinarians, and producers when they consider applications of nutritional models on farms?Dr. Jennifer EllisNumber one: Get more from your data by leaning into modeling and data analytics. […]The second one: Develop those computational skill sets in yourself and promote it in your employees, if not already. […]And the third one is to communicate and get engaged with developers. […]

Can behavioral economics change the world? Yes, thinks Bertil Tungodden, Research Director at the Centre for Experimental Research on Fairness, Inequality, and Rationality in Bergen and Einstein Visiting Fellow at the Humboldt University. His comparative studies aim at explaining why people have a different idea of when existing inequalities are actually unfair. In this episode, he gives insight into the experiments he designs to find out about the norms & values underlying decision making – and explains why, by the effects of his research, he can make a little difference.

Korleis kan vi legge til rette for livslang læring for vaksne med låg kompetanse og svak tilknytning til arbeidsmarknaden? Kan vi betre vaksne sine moglegheiter til å skaffe seg meir kompetanse, og få fleire moglegheiter i arbeidslivet? Kva hindrar vaksne i å få formell kompetanse, og kva kan vi gjere med det? Foredraget er ved Astrid Oline Ervik, som er arbeidsmarknadsøkonom og tilsett som forskar ved FAIR Insight Team, Samfunns- og næringslivsforskning (SNF) og er tilknytta FAIR - Centre for Experimental Research on Fairness, Inequality and Rationality ved NHH. Frå 2017 til 2023 vert det gjennomført eit nasjonalt forsøk i vaksenopplæringa, der opplæringa er inndelt i ulike modular tilpassa vaksne sitt kunnskapsbehov og behovet for fleksibilitet. Forsøket legg òg til rette for samarbeid mellom opplæringssektoren og velferdssektoren. Saman med eit team av forskarar følgjer Astrid Oline Ervik dette forsøket tett. Ho vil fortelje om det pågåande forsøket, utfordringar ved det, og kva effektar det ber med seg så langt. Ho vil også setje forsøket i samanheng med tiltak med liknande føremål, som å gje fleire meir kompetanse og auka velferd. Akademisk lunsj er eit samarbeid mellom Bergen Offentlege Bibliotek, Universitetsbiblioteket, HVL og NHH.

Media and readings in audio format for Unit 7: Survey and Experimental Research, ETR 520: Fall 2020

What are the psychological conditions that allow investors to make rational decisions, and how do these processes of decision-making occur? These are the questions that our guest, Victor Ricciardi, is dedicated to answering and what he is here on the show today to talk about! Victor is the Visiting Assistant Professor of Finance at Washington and Lee University as well as the Coordinator of Behavioral and Experimental Research at the Social Science Research Network. He has an MBA in finance and an advanced professional certificate in economics from St. John's University and holds graduate certificates in personal financial planning and financial therapy from Kansas State University. Victor is the co-author of Investor Behavior: The Psychology of Financial Planning and Investing, in which he and H. Kent Baker explore and unpack the exact topics we look at in this episode. In our conversation, we talk about the steps that investors can take in order to make better decisions, and for Victor, this means maintaining a balanced portfolio and recording the circumstances and conditions in which decisions are made. Victor's starting point for better investing is self-knowledge and understanding one's own psychology and risk tolerance. He also underlines becoming familiar with the environments that allow you to make the best decisions and refining this wisdom over time. We also dig into the topics of the subconscious, checking biases, and financial therapy, so make sure to join us to hear it all.   Key Points From This Episode: The history of academic studies on investor behaviour. [0:02:11.2] Victor's thoughts on the rational decisions investors should aim for. [0:04:50.5] The idea of 'bounded rationality'; sufficing and the factors that influence decisions. [0:06:38.9] Benefits and dangers of group investments — more or less rationality. [0:09:43.2] Weighing the usefulness of heuristics in the investment process. [0:11:54.1] The role of the subconscious in human decision-making. [0:13:33.8] Victor's thoughts on sustained commitment to active investing, despite the evidence. [0:15:45.6] The framing of information and the impact this has on investor behaviour. [0:19:09.5] A five-factor model for personality; extroversion, agreeableness, conscientiousness, neuroticism, and openness to intellect. [0:22:33.4] Unpacking the emerging profession of financial therapy and Victor's thoughts on its benefits. [0:28:36.3] The relationship between money and happiness; the importance of options. [0:31:42.7] Methods for checking our biases; education, simplicity, rebalancing, and more! [0:33:44.3] Prioritizing trust and ways to ensure that received advice is dependable. [0:35:38.2] The effect of access to free information and weighing the helpfulness of the internet. [0:37:47.2] The application of behavioural bias models to the real estate market. [0:39:38.6] Victor's personal definition of success: Impacting students. [0:41:49.4]

Dr. Bidad discusses the elements of experimental research and its applications in education and social research.

Join Alyssa as she sits down with Sarika Sanyal, Program Director of Future Tenant, to follow up on Future Tenant’s experimental programming, how they shifted in-person programming to digital platforms, and their adjustment to remote work as an organization supporting local artists and partners in the arts.

The coronavirus pandemic forced ETH Zurich to suspend almost all its experimental research in mid-March. This was a major challenge, especially for Detlef Günther, ETH’s Vice President for Research. "But now I see a little more light at the end of the tunnel," he says in the podcast. After all, experimental research is now being stepped up again, albeit with restrictions, as the strict rules on physical distancing and hygiene still apply. Full occupancy is therefore not possible in many laboratories. Despite the adverse circumstances, Günther also sees some positive consequences of the pandemic: it has brought together many disciplines that were previously not connected with each other. His hope is "If we preserve just 20 percent of this mentality, we will definitely bring ETH much further forward in solving future challenges". The podcast episode with Detlef Günther concludes ETH’s ten-part #COVID-19 special series. Of course, the coronavirus will keep the world busy for some time yet and the topic will certainly play a role in upcoming podcast episodes. However, it's also time for the ETH Podcast to find its way back to a normality where different topics have their place and are explored again in more detail.

In this mini-episode, Alyssa sits down with Sarika Sanyal, the Program Director of Future Tenant, to talk a little bit about some of the experimental research they have done this semester to inform future programming. They discuss Future Tenant’s partnerships with CMU School of Art, the Pittsburgh Airport, and MuseumLab at the Children’s Museum of Pittsburgh.

Don’t trust your textbooks. This week — artists and writers whose work is illuminating the histories that have been pushed to the margins. We might not always get it right, but it’s important we try.

With the rise of interracial relationships and marriage, discussions centered around biracial children and identities have received increased attention within the media and among researchers and policymakers. Today, we seek to gain a better understanding of biracial identity research by interviewing Dr. Sarah Gaither, an Assistant Professor of Psychology and Neuroscience at Duke University and expert on biracial and social identities, interracial interactions, racial categorizations, and social development. We begin the interview by defining race as a social construct (25:54) and the importance of understanding race from the perspective of biracial and multiracial individuals (28:30). We then have a conversation about the history of biracial identity and the one drop rule (32:20), minority-bias in the racial categorization of Black-White biracials (34:56), biracial identity, the Census, and push for acknowledgement (36:57) and identity flexibility of biracial people and its implications for interracial interaction (38:42). We close by raising the question of whether the growing biracial population can improve racial relations in the United States (46:55), discussing Rachel Dolezal, “transracial” identity, and “passing” (50:09), and gaining insight into how parents of biracial children can foster positive identity development (55:33).   Other Topics Include: 00:30 - Catch Up with Ty and Daphne 04:17 - BhD Tees for Degrees Campaign 06:07 - Oh Lawd News 22:50 - Introduction of the Topic 24:00 - Learn more about Dr. Sarah Gaither 40:12 - A Discussion of Experimental Research and Priming in Psychology 41:26 - Learn About Dr. Gaither’s New Research 43:18 - Biracial Identity Flexibility and President Obama 1:02:20 - Ty and Daphne Reflect on the Interview   Resources: Dr. Gaither’s Duke Identity and Diversity Lab: https://sites.duke.edu/dukeidlab/ Dr. Gaither’s Twitter - @sarahegaither National Geographic Determined What America Will Look Like in 2050, and It’s Beautiful - https://mic.com/articles/87359/national-geographic-determined-what-americans-will-look-like-in-2050-and-it-s-beautiful#.axtWSg9j7 What Biracial People Know - https://www.nytimes.com/2017/03/04/opinion/sunday/what-biracial-people-know.html?_r=0 Why Mixed-Race Americans Will Not Save The Country - https://www.npr.org/sections/codeswitch/2017/03/08/519010491/why-mixed-race-americans-will-not-save-the-country "I'm Biracial, Not Black Damm It" Documentary - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hXkPdC_a-ME 

The Trump administration's pick to run the Department of Energy's experimental research branch said he supports the president's budget plan for his agency. But the administration's last two spending plans have called for shutting down the agency. The Advanced Research Project Agency-Energy, or ARPA-E, invests in technology deemed too risky for the private sector. Federal News Radio's Jory Heckman joined Federal Drive with Tom Temin for more on the state of this agency and an odd confirmation hearing.

Ivor Cummins is a Biochemical Engineer who in 2012 was disturbed by a set of his own abnormal blood test results. Consultation with multiple doctors yielded little insight into the cause of his elevated cholesterol, ferritin and GGT so he turned to his analytical roots to study the problem. In the process, he evaluated hundreds of scientific papers, ultimately concluding that that flawed hypotheses and a breach of the scientific method have resulted in the current “diabesity” epidemic. Ivor is here today with Dr. Tommy Wood talking on topics related to his well-referenced new book, Eat Rich, Live Long: Mastering the Low-Carb & Keto Spectrum for Weight Loss and Great Health. They also discuss the trouble with polyunsaturated oils, advice on fat loss for the insulin sensitive, and the best test for cardiovascular disease risk (hint: it’s not LDL).

About our guest: Donald P. Green is J. W. Burgess Professor of Political Science at Columbia University. Professor Green is the author of four books and more than one hundred scholarly articles spanning a wide array of topics: voting behavior, partisanship, campaign finance, hate crime, and research methods. Much of his current work uses field experimentation to study the ways in which political campaigns mobilize and persuade voters. With Alan Gerber, he conducted the first large-scale randomized field experiment on the effects of voter mobilization tactics on voter turnout and the development of long-term voting habits. With Alan Gerber, he co-authored a textbook on this research method titled Field Experiments: Design, Analysis, and Interpretation (W.W. Norton, 2012). Prior to joining the faculty at Columbia University, Professor Green taught at Yale University (1989-2011), where he was A. Whitney Griswold Professor of Political Science and served five terms as Director of Yale's Institution for Social and Policy Studies. He was elected to the American Academy of Arts and Sciences in 2003 and has received numerous awards, among them the Heinz I. Eulau Award for best article published in the American Political Science Review. He co-founded the Experimental Research section of the American Political Science Association and served as its first president.
