Two shocking cases. Both facing the ultimate punishment. In this death penalty-themed episode, we dig deep into the high-profile prosecutions of Luigi Mangione, accused of assassinating a health insurance CEO in cold blood on a Manhattan street, and Bryan Kohberger, the former criminology PhD student charged with the brutal stabbing deaths of four University of Idaho students. The feds are pushing hard for Mangione to be executed. Meanwhile, Kohberger's defense team is fighting tooth and nail to strike the death penalty from his case, citing chaotic discovery, missed deadlines, and even his autism diagnosis. This is a legal, moral, and psychological look at America's most intense punishment—and the accused killers now facing it. #BestGuests: Michael McAuliffe has practiced law for over thirty years.

Yesterday, March 25, 2025, the Cincinnati Reds played an exhibition game against their top prospects at Day Air Ballpark in Dayton, Ohio, kicking off their pre-season preparations for the 2025 MLB season. The game showcased the Reds' mix of emerging talent and established players as they gear up for Opening Day on March 27 against the San Francisco Giants. Matt McLain stole the spotlight early, launching a three-run homer in the second inning to give the Reds a commanding 4-0 lead, thrilling the crowd and signaling his readiness after missing all of 2024 due to injury. Elly De La Cruz also impressed, ripping an opposite-field single, further boosting optimism for the season ahead under new manager Terry Francona. However, the prospects fought back, with Will Benson tying the game at 4-4 with a two-run homer off Chase Petty. While full box scores remain unofficial for this exhibition, posts on X highlighted the Reds' offensive firepower and the prospects' resilience. The game served as a promising tune-up, with fans and analysts eager to see if Cincinnati's young core can translate this energy into a playoff push after a disappointing 77-85 finish in 2024.

In 2013, he took over at Minnesota, leading the Golden Gophers to an NIT Championship in 2014 and earning Big Ten Coach of the Year honors in 2017 after a 16-win improvement. Despite an eight-year tenure, he was fired in 2021 following a 14-15 season. Days later, he joined New Mexico, revitalizing the Lobos with a 26-10 record in 2023-24, winning the Mountain West Tournament, and reaching the NCAA Tournament—his fourth as a head coach. Now at Xavier, hired in 2025, Pitino's career record stands at 247-186 (.570). Known for high-pressure defense and roster turnarounds, he continues to build on his father's legacy while establishing his own.

Bird control is more than just a task—it's an art form that requires precision, expertise, and a deep understanding of wildlife behavior. In this episode of the Pestgeek Podcast, we dive into seven proven strategies for mastering bird control, as shared by industry expert Rollie Calzadilla. From tackling complex projects at Florida International University to revolutionizing bird-proofing methods, Rollie offers invaluable insights that will empower you to take your pest management skills to the next level. Whether you're a seasoned pro or just starting out, this episode is packed with actionable tips to ensure your success. Inside a Complex Bird Control Project at Florida International University: An In-Depth Discussion with Rollie Calzadilla In the ever-evolving field of pest management, bird control remains one of the most challenging and intricate aspects to master. In a recent episode of the Pestgeek Podcast, Franklin "The Pestgeek" Hernandez, a holistic pest control management specialist, sat down with Rollie Calzadilla, a seasoned expert with over a decade of experience, to delve into a particularly complex bird control project at Florida International University (FIU) in Miami. This conversation not only sheds light on the technicalities of bird control but also provides invaluable insights into the growth of a wildlife control business and the future of pest management training. A Challenging Project: Bird Control at FIU The conversation begins with Rollie Calzadilla recounting the specifics of a particularly demanding bird control project at FIU. Tasked with managing 96 pigeon holes on a university building, each measuring 4 feet wide by 2.5 feet tall, Rollie and his team were up against a significant challenge. Pigeons, often considered one of the most stubborn urban pests, had made these holes their home, leading to an unsightly mess and potential health hazards for the university community. Rollie explains the meticulous process his team employed to address the problem. Unlike typical pest control issues that can be managed with straightforward solutions, bird control requires a deep understanding of the species' behavior, environmental impact, and potential risks to human health. Rollie and his team approached the project with precision, opting to install individual nets over each pigeon hole. These nets were carefully selected and placed to ensure that the pigeons could no longer access the spaces, effectively preventing them from nesting. In addition to these individual nets, Rollie's team installed a large net on the interior of the building for extra protection. This dual-layer approach was critical in ensuring long-term success in deterring the pigeons from returning, something that traditional bird deterrent methods like spikes and sound devices had failed to achieve. The Evolution of Bird Control Techniques One of the key points Rollie emphasizes is the evolution of bird control techniques over the years. He candidly discusses the shortcomings of previous methods such as spikes, sound devices, and visual deterrents. While these methods were once considered state-of-the-art, they often proved ineffective in the long run. Pigeons, being highly adaptive creatures, quickly learn to avoid these deterrents, rendering them useless over time. Rollie's experience has taught him that effective bird control requires more than just a one-size-fits-all solution. It involves a comprehensive understanding of the specific environment, the behavior of the birds in question, and the unique challenges presented by the location. This knowledge has allowed him to develop a more nuanced approach to bird control, one that combines physical barriers, like nets, with a keen awareness of the birds' habits and tendencies. A Journey in Pest Control: From Startup to Success Rollie's journey into the world of pest control began in 2007, when he recognized a gap in the market for specialized bird contr...

Permit Expediting for Small Firm ArchitectsJesse graduated from Florida International University (FIU) in 2012 with a degree in International Business. At the same time, he joined the United States Marine Corps (USMC) and successfully completed Officer Candidates School (OCS) during their service.After graduation, Jesse moved to the DC Metropolitan area from Miami and began working at GEICO, aiming for a management role through their Supervisor Leadership Program (SLP). However, he faced a challenge of maximizing his income without further education. He decided to explore bartending as a side job due to its high earning potential and flexible hours.Getting into bartending was tough, with Jesse initially facing rejections from local bars. He started working as nightclub security, finally got a job as a barback, then as a bartender at a busy nightclub, where he saw the power of sales as he earned more in one night than a week at GEICO.Jesse eventually left GEICO and found an opportunity in permit expediting for a gas pipeline project in Baltimore County, MD. This new industry allowed him to combine his sales skills and scalability. A year later, Jesse founded City Permit, expanding its services from serving only DC clients to helping commercial and residential clients across the country.

How active learning improves calculus teaching, and using machine learning to map odors in the smell space   First up on this week's show, Laird Kramer, a professor of physics and faculty in the STEM Transformation Institute at Florida International University (FIU), talks with host Sarah Crespi about students leaving STEM fields because of calculus and his research into improving instruction.   We also hear from some Science staffers about their own calculus trauma, from fear of spinning shapes to thinking twice about majoring in physics (featuring Kevin McLean, Paul Voosen, Lizzie Wade, Meagan Cantwell, and FIU student and learning assistant Carolyn Marquez).   Next on the show, can a computer predict what something will smell like to a person by looking at its chemical structure? Emily Mayhew, a professor in the department of food science and human nutrition at Michigan State University, talks about how this was accomplished using a panel of trained smellers, and what the next steps are for digitizing the sense of smell.    This week's episode was produced with help from Podigy.   About the Science Podcast   Authors: Sarah Crespi, Kevin McLean; Meagan Cantwell; Paul Voosen; Lizzie Wade     Episode page: https://www.science.org/doi/10.1126/science.adk6142See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Scientists just broke the record for the highest efficiency solar cell | Interesting Engineering (01:46) A team of researchers at the US Department of Energy's National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL) has created a solar cell with a record efficiency of 39.5 percent.This is the highest efficiency solar cell of any type, measured using standard 1-sun conditions. Under lighting conditions equivalent to that of the sun The solar cell was also tested for its potential in space, especially for powering communications satellites, which are powered by solar cells and require high cell efficiency. Under such conditions, it has a 34.2 percent efficiency. Principal investigator Myles Steiner, talks on the new solar cell:“The new cell is more efficient and has a simpler design that may be useful for a variety of new applications, such as highly area-constrained applications or low-radiation space applications." The novel solar cell is built on an architecture known as inverted metamorphic multijunction (IMM) cells. gallium indium phosphide on top,  gallium arsenide in the center,  gallium indium arsenide on the bottom. Has three components that generate electric current in response to light. Each component is built with a different material:  These materials specialize in various light wavelengths, this allows the cell to capture more energy from the whole light spectrum. The researchers created these “quantum wells” with the middle layer. Represents the minimum energy that is required to excite an electron up to a state in the conduction band where it can participate in conduction By sandwiching a conductive layer between two other materials with a wider band gap, they were able to get the electrons confined to two dimensions, which allowed the material to capture more light in return. A band gap is the distance between the valence band of electrons and the conduction band.  This solar cell's middle layer comprised up to 300 quantum wells, which greatly increased the total efficiency Before the novel cell can become widespread, the researchers will need to reduce the expenses and find potential new uses.   First Patient Injected With Experimental Cancer-Killing Virus in New Clinical Trial | Science Alert (07:18) An experimental cancer-killing virus has been administered to a human patient for the first time, with hopes the testing will ultimately reveal evidence of a new means of successfully fighting cancer tumors in people's bodies.The drug candidate, called CF33-hNIS (aka Vaxinia) The drug is an oncolytic virus, which is a genetically modified virus designed to selectively infect and kill cancer cells while sparing healthy ones.A modified smallpox virus Works by entering cells and duplicating itself. Eventually, the infected cell bursts, releasing thousands of new virus particles that act as antigens, stimulating the immune system to attack nearby cancer cells. Previous research in animal models has shown the drug can harness the immune system in this way to hunt and destroy cancer cells, but up until now no testing has been done in humans.The first phase of the trial focuses on the safety and tolerability of the drug. The intervention is expected to enroll 100 participants in total, each being an adult patient with metastatic or advanced solid tumors who has previously tried at least two prior lines of standard treatment.These individuals will receive low doses of the experimental treatment via direct injection or intravenously. If early results are successful and CF33-hNIS is deemed safe and well tolerated, additional tests will investigate how the drug pairs with pembrolizumab, an existing antibody treatment already used in cancer immunotherapy. If the drug does turn out to be safe and well-tolerated, we could be looking at a powerful new tool for fighting tumors, and a game-changer. According to surgical oncologist Susanne Warner, said back in 2020 “Our oncolytic virus trains the immune system to target a specific cancer cell … Meaning if a similar cancer cell ever tries to regrow, the immune system will be ready and waiting to shut it down."   Scientists can now grow wood in a lab without cutting a single tree | Interesting Engineering (11:46) The market for wood-derived products stood at $631 billion in 2021, and despite all the efforts that environmentalists have been putting in to prevent deforestation activities, it is expected to cross the mark of $900 billion by 2026, according to the Wood Products Global Market 2022 Report. That's a lot of trees being cut down, but what would happen if we could grow wood without cutting trees? Interesting question, that we may have to answer soon.  A team of researchers at MIT claims that lab-grown timber can replace deforestation driving products made from real wood. They have developed a technique using which timber can be produced in any shape and size, so you can create it in a lab without cutting a single tree.    The researchers at MIT performed an experiment that gave stem cell-like properties to normal plant cellsExtracted cells from the leaves of a flowering plant called Common zinnia (Zinnia elegans) Then they stored the cells in a liquid medium for a couple of days. The researchers treated the plant cells with a gel-based medium enriched with nutrients and hormones.  After some time, the cells gave rise to new plant cells. The researchers during this process noticed that by changing the hormonal concentration in the gel medium, they could control the physical and mechanical properties of the newly grown cells.    Lead researcher Ashley Beckwith explains the role of hormones in plant cell growth:“In the human body, you have hormones that determine how your cells develop and how certain traits emerge. In the same way, by changing the hormone concentrations in the nutrient broth, the plant cells respond differently. Just by manipulating these tiny chemical quantities, we can elicit pretty dramatic changes in terms of the physical outcomes.” Beckwith and her team were also able to 3D print custom-designed structures out of the cells cultured in the gel using a 3D bioprinting method.Does not generate any waste, unlike the current furniture-making process, which leads to the loss of about 30% of the total wood as waste For three months, the lab-printed plant material was incubated in the dark. Not only did the lab wood manage to survive, but also grow at a rate twice that of a regular tree. Senior author and scientist Luis Fernando Velásquez-García talks on the techniques future:“Though still in its early days, this research demonstrates that lab-grown plant materials can be tuned to have specific characteristics, which could someday enable researchers to grow wood products with the exact features needed for a particular application.”    Dissolving pacemaker links up with wearables to better control the heart | New Atlas (17:42) Last year, scientists at Northwestern University announced a transient pacemaker that dissolves when no longer needed. Now,  they improved the device, and incorporated it into a linked suite of wearable sensors.  The original implant:The original implant was designed for people recovering from an injury or heart surgery, or who otherwise only require a pacemaker for a short amount of time.  Once they've recovered from their condition – within five to seven weeks – the pacemaker will have biodegraded and been harmlessly absorbed by their body. Doesn't have to be wired to a separate battery, and is just 250 microns thick, and weighs less than half a gram. Only one surgery is required Among the improvements in the new version:Its ability to stretch as well as flex – thus allowing it to better conform to the surface of a beating heart. Now releases an anti-inflammatory drug as it dissolves, in order to prevent foreign-body immune reactions. Wirelessly communicates with four other soft-electronic devices, temporarily adhered to the skin on various parts of the patient's upper body. All of the collected data is wirelessly transmitted to a nearby internet-connected smartphone or tablet, allowing the patient's doctor to remotely monitor their condition.Monitors blood oxygen levels, Tissue oxygenation and blood vessel tone;  A respiratory module at the base of the throat, that monitors coughing and other respiratory activity;  A haptic feedback module worn anywhere on the body, which vibrates to alert the patient of malfunctions or other problems;  A cardiac module, located on the chest. Prof. John Rogers, who is leading the research, talks on the device:“For temporary cardiac pacing, the system untethers patients from monitoring and stimulation apparatuses that keep them confined to a hospital setting … Instead, patients could recover in the comfort of their own homes while maintaining the peace of mind that comes with being remotely monitored by their physicians. This also would reduce the cost of health care and free up hospital beds for other patients."   New Research Shows ADHD Medication Doesn't Help Kids Learn | SciTechDaily (22:03) For decades, most doctors, parents, and teachers have believed that stimulant medications help children with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) learn.Approximately 10 percent of children in the U.S. are diagnosed with ADHD.  Of those, more than 90 percent are prescribed stimulant medication as the main form of treatment in school settings. However, in the first study of its kind, scientists at the Center for Children and Families at Florida International University (FIU) found medication has no detectable impact on how much children with ADHD learn in the school classroom. William E. Pelham, Jr., senior author of the study, stated:“Physicians and educators have held the belief that medication helps children with ADHD learn because they complete more seatwork and spend more time on-task when medicated … Unfortunately, we found that medication had no impact on learning of actual curriculum content.” Researchers evaluated 173 children between the ages of 7 and 12 with ADHD participating in the center's Summer Treatment Program, a comprehensive eight-week summer camp program. Children completed two consecutive phases of daily, 25-minute instruction in vocabulary and subject-area content in science and social studies. Each child was randomized to be medicated with a sustained-release stimulant medication during either the first or second of the instructional phases, receiving a placebo during the other. Contrary to expectations, researchers found that children learned the same amount of science, social studies, and vocabulary content whether they were taking the medication or the placebo. While medication did not improve learning, the study showed that medication helped children complete more seatwork and improve their classroom behavior, as expected.  In more detail, while taking medication, children completed 37 percent more arithmetic problems per minute and committed 53 percent fewer classroom rule violations per hour. Additionally, consistent with previous studies, researchers found that medication slightly helped to improve test scores when medication is taken on the day of a test, but not enough to boost most children's grades.Helped children increase on average 1.7 percentage points out of 100 on science and social studies tests. Pelham talks on this jump in society to medicate:“Our research has found time and time again that behavioral intervention is best for children with ADHD because they, their teachers, and their parents learn skills and strategies that will help them succeed at school, at home and in relationships long-term … Medicating our children doesn't solve the problem—it only takes away the symptoms temporarily. Instead, families should focus on behavioral interventions first and add medication only if needed.” Researchers note that the study was conducted in a controlled summer school-like environment and results may be different in a regular classroom setting. They would like to replicate this study in a natural classroom environment using academic curricula over the duration of a school year to further evaluate the impact of medication on learning.

Many listeners probably know of young people who come from humble economic backgrounds, and other who may have had privileged social environments since birth. There's always one common factor in this social construct, young people wish to succeed. It's true that not all things are possible, but so much can be probable. A while back, I was fortunate to meet Michael White. Michael works at a well known coffee-bakery shop for the last two+ years starting in high school. Michael's story is positive and would cause any listener to know that he believes a positive future is possible because he has already started along that positive path now. He has been accepted to Florida International University (FIU) and will start as a freshman undergraduate in the fall of 2021. I enjoyed chatting with Michael for this short but meaningful episode, and I hope you will find pleasure listening in. Thank you for listening to my podcast.
