Welcome to Episode Number 53! Today on the podcast, I talk about an app that helps you track your food intake and lose weight! But first, here is a little tech news for you. The news is from: https://www.forbes.com/sites/leebelltech/2018/03/26/the-best-health-tech-2017/#2747737e38df Healthtech is changing daily and providing so many cool tools to help us get and stay healthier. This article describes 15 of the best health tech to improve your general well-being. In the article, they are organized by the area of your health they will improve. The Omron Evolv is a clinically-validated wireless blood pressure monitor that is light enough to take anywhere with you, while also being super easy to use. The device lets you easily measure, record and share your blood pressure data with your family or doctor using an app. The Wacaco Minipresso espresso maker is small, light and portable enough to ensure you never miss out on your morning coffee again. And it’s a good job. Regularly slurping a cup of the black stuff is associated with endless benefits, such as a lower incidence of Parkinson’s and certain types of cancers, and even reduced rates of DNA damage. The Center for Cohort Studies at Sungkyunkwan University, Seoul, recently noted that drinking coffee could also reduce the risk of clogged arteries, which can lead to heart attacks. A cup of coffee a day keeps the illness away. Smart scales are by no means anything new, but the Fitbit Aria 2 scales take weighing yourself to a whole new level. As well as weighing you, the connected scales will check your heart rate, water percentage, body fat, bone mass and muscle mass and keep a record of all this so you can compare your vitals over time. Accurately measures body weight, body composition (including body fat percentage, muscle, water and bone mass) and body mass index (BMI) The featured app today is Lose It. Lose It! is available for iPhone, iPad, Android, Nook, Kindle, and the Web. Lose It! uses the proven principles of calorie tracking to help you succeed. It’s very easy to enter your profile details and goal weight to get started. The app calculates the daily calorie budget for you. Next, track your food, weight, and activity. This is the easiest app-based weight loss program that I have found. I love the database and barcode scanner feature. You can also log food by taking a photo of the food and the app will figure out what it is! Lose It! basic is free. After trying it out, I upgraded to the Premium version to unlock more awesome additional features. They claim that Premium members report 3x the weight loss of free members.

This week we discuss the geologic time scale, meteorites, and fitness trackers! Pittsburgh Fireball Feb. 17, 2015 Video of meteor Article with details of entry Animation from meteor’s perspective NASA Fireball Network Geologic Time-it’s really big (and deep) The geologic time scale Despite all kinds of fun things to demo how vast it is…still hard to understand Cosmic Calendar Pneumonic devices for timescale-and why do we need to know it? (several examples) We make all kinds of assumptions about rocks that span millions of years, but an outcrop can change over the course of just a few years/ten years Example of things changing in days to hours Time’s Arrow, Time’s Cycle How do we begin to define Geologic time? International Commission on Stratigraphy: “ International Geologic Time Scale; thus setting global standards for the fundamental scale for expressing the history of the Earth” We have to have a baseline so that we can all talk about the “same” rocks across the world Age-dating rocks Many techniques, and the actual dates between our epochs change all the time as our age-dating techniques evolve Many periods/eras/epochs are marked by “catastrophic” occurrences, hence making them natural boundaries, but the dates change. 5 major extinction events Time as an arrow v. time as a cycle Catastrophism vs. uniformitarianism and gradualism Constantly evolving and vastly interesting Thinking about the definitions of time and how we as humans try to grasp the enormity of geologic time in particular is humbling. Fun Paper Friday In an attempt to prolong our time on Earth, we’ll talk about accuracy of fitness apps.
