Strange things have been happening to science in the US. An executive order is freezing research, a website with once scientific information now looks kinda like it's advertising a reality show … even milkshakes have been caught in the fray. Milkshakes! On top of this, research projects studying everything from vaccine hesitancy to Covid-19 to climate change have been cut. The Trump administration says that a big reason for the cuts is to stop government waste and boost the economy. Today on the show: What is going on with science in the US right now, and will these cuts ultimately help the economy? To find out, we talk to Nature reporter Max Koslov, virologist Dr. Seema Lakdawala and economist Professor Andrew Fieldhouse.  Find our transcript here: https://bit.ly/ScienceVsWarKeepsRaging In this episode, we cover: (00:00) A Science Milkshake Up (08:04) Research on the Chopping Block (12:15) How the NIH Justifies Cuts (15:11) 25 million lives on the line (16:48) When Nerds Fight Back (24:46) ‘Dangerous' Gain-of-Function Research Frozen (27:27 ) Does Science Boost the Economy? (36:05) Losing a Science Superpower? This episode was produced by Wendy Zukerman, with help from Meryl Horn, Rose Rimler, Michelle Dang and Ekedi Fausther-Keeys. We're edited by Blythe Terrell.

In episode 690, Megan chats to Danielle Madden about how generative AI uses significant environmental resources and how content creators can use the technology more ethically. Danielle Madden founded Project Meal Plan in 2016 after spending too many lunch breaks searching for mediocre food while working her office job. Her educational background includes a Bachelor's Degree in Environmental Science, and hands-on training as a Seattle Urban Nature Guide. Danielle loves being prepared (especially with food), and is usually the first one to arrive at a gathering with a homemade dish to share. At Project Meal Plan, Danielle focuses on make-ahead food and sharing tools to help others plan their own meals. In this episode, you'll learn how generative AI works, how to understand its environmental impact, and how to implement sustainable practices in business. Key points discussed include: - Generative AI Uses Significant Resources: Data centers consume substantial water and electricity through complex cooling processes. - Water Consumption is Substantial: ChatGPT uses approximately 500 milliliters of fresh water per 20-50 questions. - Environmental Impact Varies: Different AI platforms have varying resource consumption levels, though specifics are not transparent. - Ethical Usage Matters: Content creators should critically evaluate when and how they use AI tools. - Prompt Writing is Key: More specific, detailed prompts can reduce unnecessary AI usage and resource consumption. - Fact-Checking is Essential: Always review and verify AI-generated content for accuracy. - Small Actions Add Up: Implementing sustainable practices in business can create meaningful environmental impact. - Transparency Helps: Consider creating a sustainability policy that acknowledges your commitment to responsible technology use.

What drives nutrition experts up the wall? In this candid, unfiltered conversation with EvidenceNutrition (Edin), Liam, and Rob dive deep into the most frustrating myths and misconceptions plaguing the nutrition space today.The gloves come off as they tackle head-on the absurdity of claims like "pomegranates make your breasts perkier" while breaking down why study methodology matters and why some claims are too ridiculous to even warrant scientific investigation. Through equal parts exasperation and humor, they expose the tactics used by content creators who prioritize engagement over accuracy.From the demonization of carbohydrates—"the primary energy source of the body"—to unfounded fears about seed oils and diet sodas, the conversation reveals how nuanced nutritional science gets flattened into misleading black-and-white narratives on social media. For Edin, who lives with Type 1 diabetes, these mischaracterizations aren't just annoying—they can be potentially dangerous.The episode takes a fascinating turn when the three break down the exact formula for creating viral fear-mongering content: take a beloved product, claim it contains something "banned in Europe," create a shocking visual, and watch the views roll in regardless of accuracy. This insider perspective helps listeners develop a critical eye for the content they consume.Perhaps most revealing is their discussion about creator integrity and brand deals, where they share stories about declining lucrative offers from companies whose products they couldn't honestly endorse. It's a rare glimpse into the ethical challenges nutrition content creators face in an industry where financial incentives can sometimes encourage compromise.Want to cut through the noise and understand which nutrition claims deserve your attention?

We're experimenting and would love to hear from you!In this episode of 'Discover Daily', we explore a groundbreaking medical achievement: an Australian man who survived 100 days with a BiVACOR titanium heart before successfully receiving a donor heart transplant. This world-first procedure marks a significant milestone in artificial heart technology, potentially revolutionizing treatment options for millions of heart failure patients globally. The BiVACOR device, featuring magnetic levitation technology and a single moving part, represents a major advancement in addressing the critical shortage of donor hearts.We also examine Meta's upcoming launch of Community Notes across Facebook, Instagram, and Threads—a crowd-sourced content moderation system designed to replace third-party fact-checking with a less biased approach to information quality. The feature will enter public beta on March 18, 2025, with Meta building upon X's open-source algorithm while implementing careful monitoring systems during the initial rollout phase.Additionally, we discuss Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei's thought-provoking proposal to give AI models an "I quit this job" button, raising profound questions about AI autonomy, ethics, and potential machine consciousness. This controversial idea suggests implementing a preference framework that would allow advanced AI systems to opt out of tasks they find unpleasant, challenging traditional views of AI as mere tools without agency and potentially necessitating a reevaluation of how we treat these increasingly sophisticated systems.From Perplexity's Discover Feed:https://www.perplexity.ai/page/meta-launching-community-notes-zW.K9fx0S9eAcLwAin8LXw https://www.perplexity.ai/page/anthropic-ceo-floats-ai-quit-b-BotCYKfST6GePBfE_Psp6whttps://www.perplexity.ai/page/man-survives-with-titanium-hea-y6lkRQKXSNyztF.8dQL1uQ**Introducing Perplexity Deep Research:**https://www.perplexity.ai/hub/blog/introducing-perplexity-deep-research Perplexity is the fastest and most powerful way to search the web.

  In this episode of Doug Casey's Take, Doug and I discuss Trump's latest speech and the broader geopolitical shifts unfolding before our eyes. As always, Doug doesn't hold back. “Trump is mightily entertaining, but let's be honest—his rhetoric is often nonsense. That doesn't mean he's wrong about everything.” “The U.S. government is a dangerous predator sitting on top of America. People conflate the government with the people—they're not the same.” “If you want to solve the drug problem, legalize drugs. That's the only answer. Everything else is theater.” We cover Trump's plan to “unshackle” the economy, the deep state's resistance, the looming financial collapse, and why he believes America's overreach—from the Panama Canal to Greenland—is a mistake. Doug also gives his take on the latest Ukraine minerals deal and what's going on with Europe ramping up military spending. 00:00 Introduction and Initial Impressions of Trump's Speech 00:15 Entertainment Value and Comparisons to Zelensky's Visit 01:28 Analyzing Trump's Speech and Economic Claims 03:07 Fact-Checking and Media Reactions 05:49 Trump's Economic Policies and Their Implications 19:06 Discussion on Social Security and Tax Policies 21:56 Trump's Proposals for the Auto Industry and Tariffs 27:23 Declaring War on Drug Cartels 29:58 The Cycle of Violence and Drug Addiction 32:08 The Death Penalty Debate 34:49 Transgender Issues and Child Transition Surgery 37:00 National Security and the Golden Dome 39:28 Reshoring Shipbuilding and the Panama Canal 44:51 Trump's Radical Policies and Greenland 54:48 European Relations and Defense Spending 58:59 The Mineral Deal in Ukraine 01:01:48 Concluding Thoughts and Future Speculations

Why numbers are only as compelling as the narratives we attach to them.Facts and figures can be your friend, but before you load your presentation full of data, Miro Kazakoff has a word of caution: “Data's objective, but people are not.”You might think that your data speaks for itself, but Kazakoff says numbers need a narrative. A senior lecturer at MIT Sloan School of Management and author of Persuading with Data: A Guide to Designing, Delivering, and Defending Your Data, he says the key to making data persuasive isn't about showing more information — it's about understanding your audience well enough to know how to relay it in a way that will connect with them. "The people who get good at this are not so much the people who can talk and draw graphs well, but the people who can listen the best. It starts with is empathy.”In this episode of Think Fast, Talk Smart, Kazakoff joins Matt Abrahams to explore how to transform complex data into clear, compelling communication.
