    What if burnout isn't a breaking point, but an invitation to slow down, tune in, and hear the intuition you have been trying to say all along?Summary: When we're deep in burnout, even the simplest decisions can feel overwhelming. This episode of The Science of Happiness explores the difference between urgency and intuition, and what it takes to rebuild trust in your inner knowing. It's a conversation about slowing down, listening inward, and finding clarity on the other side of exhaustion.How To Do This Practice:  Pause the noise: Set aside 5–10 minutes without screens, music, or conversation. Let yourself settle into stillness, even if it feels uncomfortable at first. Feel your body: Bring your attention inward. Notice physical sensations—tightness in your chest, a flutter in your gut, warmth in your hands—without trying to change them. Breathe and soften: Take a few slow, gentle breaths. With each exhale, invite your body to soften and release any tension. Ask a simple question: Bring to mind something you're unsure about. Ask yourself softly, “What do I really know about this?” or “What feels true right now?” Notice what arises: Pay attention to the first felt sense—not the loudest thought, but the quiet feeling underneath. It might show up as a word, image, emotion, or subtle pull in the body. Close with trust: You don't need a final answer. Just acknowledge what you noticed, thank yourself for listening, and carry that quiet knowing with you as you move forward.

In the Amazon River Basin, which holds one-fifth of the world's fresh water, annual rains can raise water levels 30 to 40 feet in just days. Forests turn into vast lakes, dotted with trees, while a massive push of sediment erects new islands almost overnight.

    Cardiologist and author Eric Topol discusses his article, "What super agers can teach us about longevity and health span," which is an excerpt from his new book, Super Agers: An Evidence-Based Approach to Longevity. He introduces the critical difference between lifespan (total years lived) and health span (years lived in optimal health). Eric shares the surprising results of his "Wellderly" study, which sequenced the genomes of over a thousand healthy adults over age eighty. The study found that their exceptional health was not primarily due to protective genes, but was instead strongly correlated with lifestyle factors like being thinner, exercising more, and having robust social connections. Contrasting this group with the 60 percent of U.S. adults who have at least one chronic disease, he argues that the goal shouldn't just be a long life, but a long and healthy one. The conversation clarifies two paths to this goal—slowing aging itself or delaying disease—and makes the case that focusing on preventing and delaying chronic illness is the most evidence-based approach we can all take to maximize our health span.

    There is a U-boat in the middle of Chicago. It's attached to the Museum of Science and Industry in Hyde Park. Generations of Chicagolanders, and their cousins from far away, have walked through U-505, but they don't always ask how in the world it got to Chicago.A crucial moment in the journey of U-505 to its permanent berth was on June 4, 1944. On that day for the first time in the history of the US Navy  since, perhaps, October 7, 1864, the command “Away all boarders!” was given on the USS Pillsbury, part of the task force that had been searching for U-505 off the northwestern coast of Africa. Their challenge was to capture an underwater boat from the surface, and then keep it from sinking.How they got to that point, and what happened afterwards, is the subject of Alexander Rose's new book Phantom Fleet: The Hunt for U-505 and World War II's Most Daring Heist. In the course of describing one of the most audacious naval actions of the Second World War, Rose also reveals the secret war against German U-Boats.Alexander Rose is the bestselling author of Washington's Spies, as well as American Rifle, Men of War, The Lion and the Fox, and Empires of the Sky. Born in the United States, he grew up in Australia, was semi-educated in England, worked in Canada, and now lives in New York.

    Israel launching airstrikes in Syria, specifically in the southern Druze city of Suwayda but also in the capital of Damascus, as brutal fighting between Syrian government forces and local armed groups increases. It is a significant escalation of military operations in Syria as Israel has said they are committed to protecting the Druze minority and maintaining a demilitarized zone at it's border with Syria. Following the airstrikes, word of a possible peace deal between Israel and Syria have emerged but will it end the fighting?

    The Republicans are investigating President Joe Biden's use of the autopen while in office. Although many presidents have used the autopen in the past, President Trump and others have expressed concerns about Biden's cognitive abilities and his awareness of the actions his administration was taking during his term. The former president defends his own use of the autopen, telling the New York Times that he always authorized its use. Marc Thiessen, a senior fellow at the American Enterprise Institute and a former speechwriter for President George W. Bush, provides insight into the ongoing investigation. The U.S. Department of Agriculture has proposed a federal ban on Chinese nationals and other foreign adversaries from purchasing American farmland. Agriculture Secretary Rollins called this a major national issue and said concerns still remain over the food processing plants and farms already acquired by the Chinese, which are situated near U.S. military bases. Nebraska Governor Jim Pillen joins the Rundown to discuss security threats posed by China's economic influence and why he believes Americans should reject Chinese-made products and support domestic goods instead.

From the idea that we're slaves to our hormones to the fear that menopause means inevitable decline, Sarah brings data, nuance, and hope to conversations that have been shaped by outdated stereotypes for far too long.We explore:Why male and female brains are more similar than different, and how cultural context shapes the differences we do seeThe surprising truth about PMS: how rates vary from 12% in France to 90% in IranWhy the stereotype that women are "more emotional" isn't backed by scienceHow your brain actually changes during menopauseThe real relationship between hormones, sleep, and brain fogWhy early puberty affects girls and boys so differentlyWhat brain networks do when estrogen declinesThe truth about HRT and brain health: what the data actually showsHow expectations and cultural narratives create the experiences we haveSarah doesn't dismiss women's struggles or minimize real symptoms. Instead, she offers something more powerful: the understanding that our brains are not broken, fragile, or at the mercy of our biology. They're sophisticated, adaptive, and capable of remarkable reorganization throughout our lives.This isn't about toxic positivity or dismissing genuine challenges. It's about recognizing that the stories we've been told about women's brains, that we're irrational, unstable, or declining, aren't just wrong. They're actively shaping our reality.Love,Sarah Ann

    Rico talks with professor Michaéla Schippers, professor of Behavior and Performance Management about the "Letters to the Future" initiative that recently got published in a scientific paper. In the article, it is mentioned that many of the United Nations' Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) are not being met, such as zero hunger and how "Letters to the Future" may help. Dit gesprek is overgenomen van Follow the Science / On Follow the Science: http://followthescience.nl/interviews/letters-to-the-future-challenge-a-scalable-online-tool-to-engage-management-students-with-the-sdgsEn heeft automatisch gegenereerde ondertitels in het NederlandsSchippers explains how the initiative that started years ago, has evolved into a scientifically grounded educational tool aimed at engaging management students worldwide. The  now peer-reviewed scientific paper is titled “Letters to the Future Challenge: A Scalable Online Tool to Engage Management Students with the SDGs.”  Schippers explains the review process, noting that the paper went through both initial and secondary rounds of peer evaluation before receiving final acceptance. Throughout the conversation, the core concept of the project is emphasized—encouraging students to write letters to their future selves in order to clarify life goals and develop a sense of purpose. This reflective exercise is framed as a way to motivate students to align their personal aspirations with broader societal and environmental goals. The initiative has gained traction globally, with implementation in various educational settings, ranging from universities to independent online courses. Schippers advocates for the integration of purpose-driven education in academic curricula, arguing that this enhances not only personal development but also civic responsibility. The "Letters to the Future" framework is portrayed as an accessible and scalable model for achieving this, particularly relevant to younger generations facing existential uncertainty and global crises. Schippers shares anecdotal evidence of the challenge's impact, referencing student testimonials and institutional feedback. According to her, students who participate in the challenge report a greater sense of clarity, engagement, and optimism about their role in shaping the future. Brouwer responds with curiosity and support, probing into the practical steps taken to make the tool widely available and discussing the role of technology in scaling such educational interventions. In closing, the conversation shifts toward the future trajectory of the initiative. Schippers expresses hope that the academic recognition of the paper will lend further credibility to the challenge and promote its adoption in curricula around the world. Op Potkaars: preprint: https://pure.eur.nl/en/publications/letters-to-the-future-challenge-a-scalable-online-tool-to-engage--2https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc/4.0/Potkaars uitzendingen zijn gemaakt onder Creative Commons licentie. Je mag ze hergebruiken met bronvermelding, je mag ze niet hergebruiken voor commerciele doelen.Support the showSupport the show

    Many Trump voters were under the naive impression that his administration would release information about Jeffrey Epstein's co-conspirators in his child trafficking operation. So it came as a shock when the DOJ released a memo claiming that they couldn't find any “client list,” there is no evidence of Epstein blackmail activities, and they did not find “evidence that could predicate an investigation against uncharged third parties.” Not even MAGA loyalists are buying this. Jake, Julian, and Travis try to make sense of the DOJ's blundering attempt to put an end to Epstein chatter, discuss how the memo contradicts previous statements by FBI Director Kash Patel, Attorney General Pam Bondi, and Deputy Director Dan Bongino, and explore whether this is scandalous enough to fracture Trump's base for good.

    Have you ever wondered what a near-death experience is like? Julia Evans can tell you. She's heard the whispered questions and seen the quizzical looks, and now she's sharing the full story of the day that transformed Julia Evans into The Lily Nurse.See the experience through her eyes as it loops, turns, and links back together, illuminating a journey like no other. Immerse yourself in her story as she shares the details of the day that changed her forever, what came before, and how it set her forth on a new path.Read how she steps out of the shadows she was placed into, and learn how truly empowering it is for one's self to finally be heard. For finding your voice has its own power in healing. When you are heard, you are able to heal at all levels—mind, body and spirit.BioJulia Evan's background is in western medicine; she has a Bachelor of Science in Nursing and was a Registered Nurse for more than a decade. Only after years of suffering with Multiple Sclerosis and being faced with a traumatic near-death experience did she finally and truly open her heart and mind towards the notion of holistic healing and energy medicine. As Julia immersed herself into learning about what she believed to be a new age form of healing, she began searching for an understanding of what it is and what she is actually capable of. She found a modality that really spoke to her and through that became a Certified BodyTalk Practitioner.This modality fuelled her passion and interest towards a journey of self healing and the ability to help others find their missing voice within themselves— to help find the root cause and underlying components that hold people back from truly healing. It has given her a new perspective on what “healing” is. As she continues to broaden her knowledge and develop an even better understanding of the essence of BodyTalk, she now is able to view a person as a whole and focus on the priorities of what each individual needs to heal instead of defining them by their illness or disease. Julia Evans is the loving mother of two, and is happily married to the love of her life and soulmate. Julia lives in the Land of the Living Skies and always has her eyes on the horizon, to endless possibilities.Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/thelilynurseFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/thelilynursehttps://www.amazon.com/dp/B085FWFL3C https://www.pastliveshypnosis.co.uk/https://www.patreon.com/ourparanormalafterlifeMy book 'Verified Near Death Experiences' https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0DXKRGDFP

Brian #1: Switching to direnv, Starship, and uv Last week I mentioned that I'm ready to try direnv again, but secretly, I still had some worries about the process. Thankfully, Trey has a tutorial to walk me past the troublesome parts. direnv - an extension for your shell. It augments existing shells with a new feature that can load and unload environment variables depending on the current directory. Switching from virtualenvwrapper to direnv, Starship, and uv - Trey Hunner** Trey has solved a bunch of the problems I had when I tried direnv before Show the virtual environment name in the prompt Place new virtual environments in local .venv instead of in .direnv/python3.12 Silence all of the “loading”, “unloading” statements every time you enter a directory Have a script called venv to create an environment, activate it, create a .envrc file I'm more used to a create script, so I'll stick with that name and Trey's contents A workon script to be able to switch around to different projects. This is a carry over from “virtualenvwrapper', but seems cool. I'll take it. Adding uv to the mix for creating virtual environments. Interestingly including --seed which, for one, installs pip in the new environment. (Some tools need it, even if you don't) Starship Trey also has some setup for Starship. But I'll get through the above first, then MAYBE try Starship again. Some motivation Trey's setup is pretty simple. Maybe I was trying to get too fancy before Starship config in toml files that can be loaded with direnv and be different for different projects. Neato Also, Trey mentions his dotfiles repo. This is a cool idea that I've been meaning to do for a long time. See also: It's Terminal - Bootstrapping With Starship, Just, Direnv, and UV - Mario Munoz Michael #2: rqlite - Distributed SQLite DB via themlu, thanks! rqlite is a lightweight, user-friendly, distributed relational database built on SQLite. Built on SQLite, the world's most popular database Supports full-text search, Vector Search, and JSON documents Access controls and encryption for secure deployments Michael #3: A Python dict that can report which keys you did not use by Peter Bengtsson Very cool for testing that a dictionary has been used as expected (e.g. all data has been sent out via an API or report). Note: It does NOT track d.get(), but it's easy to just add it to the class in the post. Maybe someone should polish it up and put it on pypi (that person is not me :) ). Brian #4: Some Markdown Stuff Textual 4.0.0 adds Markdown.append which can be used to efficiently stream markdown content The reason for the major bump is due to an interface change to Widget.anchor Refreshing to see a symantic change cause a major version bump. html-to-markdown Converts html to markdown A complete rewrite fork of markdownify Lots of fun features like “streaming support” Curious if it can stream to Textual's Markdown.append method. hmmm.

    Dr. Mark Jacobson is a professor of Civil and Environmental Engineering and Director of the Atmosphere Energy Program at Stanford University, where he's been one of the most vocal advocates for powering the world entirely with wind, water, and solar energy. No nuclear, no carbon capture, no fossil fuels of any kind. His research team has created 100% renewable energy roadmaps for all 50 U.S. states and 149 countries, helping shape policies like New York's clean energy mandate. In this episode, Dr. Jacobson shares his perspective on where we are in the renewables adoption curve and explains why he believes that technologies like nuclear power, carbon capture, and biofuels aren't just unnecessary, they're harmful distractions from the clean energy transition he sees as both achievable and urgent.This conversation may be polarizing. While many will agree with Mark's take on renewables and the grid, his firm rejection of other low-carbon tech challenges mainstream climate thinking. We believe these fault lines are worth exploring, even, or especially, when they make people uncomfortable.Episode recorded on June 30, 2025 (Published on July 15, 2025)In this episode, we cover: ⁠[02:32]⁠ Why proposed tax changes threaten renewables⁠[05:45]⁠ Fossil fuel subsidies vs. renewables support⁠[06:29]⁠ China's rapid clean energy deployment⁠[10:44]⁠ Rooftop solar offsets California's rising demand⁠[12:20]⁠ Home and utility batteries reshaping grid usage⁠[14:40]⁠ Texas grid inefficiencies and renewables progress⁠[18:21]⁠ Combining wind, solar and batteries[19:26]⁠ Land use myths about wind and solar[22:49] Dr. Mark Jacobson's background and research⁠[27:23]⁠ How to phase out existing fossil infrastructure⁠[31:36]⁠ Dr. Jacobson's rejection of carbon capture[36:52] His thoughts on nuclear[42:11] Dr. Jacobson's thoughts on geothermal[46:19] How he sees the next decade unfolding Enjoyed this episode?

    Guardian feature writer Rhiannon Lucy Cosslett recently wrote about the growing cohort of parents whose children are on the waiting list for an autism or ADHD diagnosis, and are turning to the internet to buy melatonin to help them sleep. She tells Madeleine Finlay about their experiences and what is driving them to the hidden market. Paul Gringras, a consultant in paediatric sleep medicine and neurodisability, and lead of sleep medicine at King's College London, also explains why melatonin can be helpful for neurodivergent children and why he is concerned about the increasing number of parents looking for it online.

    Ants are a hugely successful family of eusocial insects with over 14,000 modern species described. They are known from every continent except Antarctica and show a wide range of ecologies. Whilst many of us are familiar with their highly organised social structures and castes, there still remain a lot of public misconceptions about how their societies function. The evolutionary history of ants is equally as impressive, with roughly as many fossil ant species known as there are of dinosaurs! Since their appearance in the Cretaceous, several early lineages of ants (stem ants) have gone extinct. In this episode, we're joined by Dr Christine Sosiak of the Okinawa Institute of Science and Technology as we explore what some of these stem ants were like and ask how the different groups of ants fared over geological time.
