Are wellness retreats just luxury getaways, or can they transform your health? In this episode of the Habits and Hustle podcast, I speak with Dr. Vishal Patel, who explains how most wellness gadgets might be causing more stress than health benefits. We explore the science behind Sensei's approach, including how thermal imaging can detect muscular imbalances before they cause pain, and why most saunas aren't hot enough to deliver benefits. Dr. Patel debunks popular wellness myths, shares why foot strength is the foundation of longevity, and explains why tracking obsession can be counterproductive. Dr. Vishal Patel is the Chief Scientific Officer at Sensei, a wellness retreat company co-founded by Larry Ellison and Dr. David Agus. With a background as a physician with a PhD in genetics, Dr. Patel combines Western medicine with Eastern practices like Ayurveda to create evidence-based wellness approaches that focus on personalization rather than rigid rules.

In this essential episode of the Sex with Emily podcast, Dr. Emily sits down with Dr. Ina Park, associate professor at UCSF School of Medicine and author of "Strange Bedfellows: Adventures in the Science, History, and Surprising Secrets of STDs." From her early days as a peer educator dressed as a giant condom at UC Berkeley to becoming a leading expert in sexual health, Dr. Park brings both humor and expertise to one of the most stigmatized topics in sexual wellness. We dive deep into the myths and realities surrounding STIs, exploring why HPV is truly "the common cold of the genitals" that nearly everyone will encounter, how herpes stigma far outweighs its actual health impact, and why people who know their status are actually safer partners than those who don't. Dr. Park shares fascinating insights about everything from The Bachelor's problematic STI testing to the connection between pubic hair grooming and infection risk. This conversation tackles the shame and fear that keep us from having honest discussions about sexual health, while providing practical advice on testing, disclosure, and maintaining healthy relationships regardless of STI status. We also explore the vaginal microbiome, why some people are more susceptible to infections, and promising new treatments on the horizon. Key Topics Covered: HPV: Why it's unavoidable and how to think about it differently Herpes disclosure and reducing transmission risk The truth about oral sex and STI transmission Pubic hair, Brazilian waxes, and infection risk Vaginal health and the microbiome Why knowing your status makes you a safer partner Breaking down STI stigma and shame Dr. Park's refreshing approach reminds us that STIs are simply part of being sexually active humans, and that knowledge, communication, and compassion are our best tools for sexual wellness. Show Notes: 00:00:00 - Dr. Park's journey from condom costume to STI expert 07:00:00 - HPV: The common cold of the genitals 14:00:00 - Herpes myths, realities, and disclosure strategies 22:00:00 - Oral sex and STI transmission risks 26:00:00 - Pubic hair grooming and infection risk 31:00:00 - Vaginal microbiome and bacterial balance 36:00:00 - Listener Q&A: Real STI concerns answered 42:00:00 - Breaking stigma and having better conversations This episode emphasizes that sexual health is part of overall wellness, and that honest, shame-free conversations about STIs can transform how we approach intimate relationships.

Bird song caught the ear of Italian composer Antonio Vivaldi. And he even named a 1729 flute concerto for a bird — the goldfinch. The source of inspiration for Vivaldi's Goldfinch concerto, or Il Gardellino, was the European Goldfinch, a tiny bird found throughout much of Europe, where it frequents gardens and roadsides. No wonder Vivaldi found the goldfinch irresistible. More info and transcript at BirdNote.org.Want more BirdNote? Subscribe to our weekly newsletter.

For years, Dr. Russell Kennedy tried everything to treat his crippling anxiety – therapy, medication – nothing worked. It wasn't until he stopped searching in his head and started looking to his body that everything changed. Today, Russell helps others heal by targeting what he calls “background alarm,” a residue of unresolved childhood trauma stored in the body. On this week's episode of Everyday Better, Leah sits down with Russell to explore why traditional treatments for anxiety often fall short, and what it really takes to heal from the inside out. Russell shares the somatic tools and mindset shifts that have helped him and his patients regulate their nervous systems, reconnect with their inner child and break free from the anxiety loop. He also explains why healing starts not with fixing your thoughts but by feeling what's been buried in your body all along.

Welcome to the week people. Republican leaders are still trying to jam major cuts to Medicare, food stamps and other vital programs down our throats in the form of the Big Beautiful Bill, some GOP members have had to face tough questions from their constituents about how those cuts will effect them. But after being called out last week for making cuts that will ultimately kill many of her constituents, Republican Senator Joni Earnst says that we'll all die one day. Now she's released a cynical non-apology in response to the controversy. After that, Science journalist and astrophysicist Adam Becker is here to discuss his new book More Everything Forever. Check it out here: https://mitpressbookstore.mit.edu/book/9781541619593 As well as Adam's piece in the Guardian on the same subject: https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2025/may/03/tech-oligarchs-musk In the Fun Half, Elon Musk sits down for an interview with CBS News but only wants to talk about rocket ships and seems upset that he's being asked about the Trump administration. Hakeem Jeffries gives the most limp nothing of an answer when asked what he's planning to do in response to federal agents entering the offices of Congressman Jerry Nadler and cuffing one of his aids, which came weeks after federal agents arrested Democratic Congresswoman LaMonica McIver. And people in San Diego spontaneously protest ICE agents as they raid local establishments.

PLANTED A LONG-BEAKED WILLOW TREE TODAY, JOYFUL : 4/4: The Man Who Planted Trees: A Story of Lost Groves, the Science of Trees, and a Plan to Save the Planet, by Jim Robbins. https://www.amazon.com/Man-Who-Planted-Trees-Science/dp/0812981294/ref=tmm_pap_swatch_0?_encoding=UTF8&qid=&sr= Twenty years ago, David Milarch, a northern Michigan nurseryman with a penchant for hard living, had a vision: angels came to tell him that the Earth was in trouble. Its trees were dying and, without them, human life was in jeopardy. The solution, they told him, was to clone the champion trees of the world—the largest, the hardiest, the ones that had survived millennia and were most resilient to climate change—and create a kind of Noah's ark of tree genetics. Without knowing if the message had any basis in science, or why he'd been chosen for this task, Milarch began his mission of cloning the world's great trees. Many scientists and tree experts told him it couldn't be done, but, twenty years later, his team has successfully cloned some of the world's oldest trees—among them giant redwoods and sequoias. They have also grown seedlings from the oldest tree in the world, the bristlecone pine Methuselah. When the New York Times journalist Jim Robbins came upon Milarch's story, he was fascinated but had his doubts. Yet, over several years, listening to Milarch and talking to scientists, he came to realize that there is so much we do not yet know about trees: how they die, how they communicate, the myriad crucial ways they filter water and air and otherwise support life on Earth. It became clear that as the planet changes, trees and forest are essential to assuring its survival. 1922 CARACAS

Originally from Hawaii, Patrick Naughton is a United States Army officer and a Military Historian. He is currently teaching at the Command and General Staff College at Fort Leavenworth, Kansas. In 2012, he received the Army’s General Douglas MacArthur Leadership Award. He has had unique opportunities to serve as an Interagency Fellow with the Department of Labor, a Legislative Liaison to the U.S. Senate, and a Congressional Partnership Program Fellow with the Partnership for a Secure America—all in Washington, D.C. He also served as a Senior Leadership Fellow with the Center for Junior Officers at West Point. Patrick holds a Master of Military Arts and Science degree in History from the U.S. Army Command and General Staff College, where he was recognized as an Art of War Scholar. He also holds a Master of Science in Crisis and Emergency Management and a Bachelor of Arts degree in History, both from the University of Nevada, Las Vegas, where he was named an Army ROTC Distinguished Military Graduate. Patrick Naughton’s first book, “Born from War: A Soldier’s Quest to Understand Vietnam, Iraq, and the Generational Impact of Conflict,” is now available in hardcover or eBook format through Amazon, directly from Casemate Publishers, and from a variety of other booksellers. The book compares his father’s time in Vietnam with the 82nd Airborne and advising the South Vietnamese Army, to Patrick’s own experience during the Global War on Terror and in Iraq. Though decades of history and politics separate their service, the similarities between their experiences are undeniably striking. The result is an engaging and eye-opening narrative that weaves together the combat experiences of two generations of soldiers. From the failure of grand strategies to personal combat stories, the memories of those lost, and the evolving social challenges facing today’s military—America’s wars against communism and terror are laid bare through the lens of one family’s service.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Add your name and email to our friends of the show list, we'll never share it. Brian #1: Making PyPI's test suite 81% faster Alexis Challande The PyPI backend is a project called Warehouse It's tested with pytest, and it's a large project, thousands of tests. Steps for speedup Parallelizing test execution with pytest-xdist 67% time reduction --numprocesses=auto allows for using all cores DB isolation - cool example of how to config postgress to give each test worker it's on db They used pytest-sugar to help with visualization, as xdist defaults to quite terse output Use Python 3.12's sys.monitoring to speed up coverage instrumentation 53% time reduction Nice example of using COVERAGE_CORE=sysmon Optimize test discovery Always use testpaths Sped up collection time. 66% reduction (collection was 10% of time) Not a huge savings, but it's 1 line of config Eliminate unnecessary imports Use python -X importtime Examine dependencies not used in testing. Their example: ddtrace A tool they use in production, but it also has a couple pytest plugins included Those plugins caused ddtrace to get imported Using -p:no ddtrace turns off the plugin bits Notes from Brian: I often get questions about if pytest is useful for large projects. Short answer: Yes! Longer answer: But you'll probably want to speed it up I need to extend this article with a general purpose “speeding up pytest” post or series. -p:no can also be used to turn off any plugin, even builtin ones. Examples include nice to have developer focused pytest plugins that may not be necessary in CI CI reporting plugins that aren't needed by devs running tests locally Michael #2: People aren't talking enough about how most of OpenAI's tech stack runs on Python Original article: Building, launching, and scaling ChatGPT Images Tech stack: The technology choices behind the product are surprisingly simple; dare I say, pragmatic! Python: most of the product's code is written in this language. FastAPI: the Python framework used for building APIs quickly, using standard Python type hints. As the name suggests, FastAPI's strength is that it takes less effort to create functional, production-ready APIs to be consumed by other services. C: for parts of the code that need to be highly optimized, the team uses the lower-level C programming language Temporal: used for asynchronous workflows and operations inside OpenAI. Temporal is a neat workflow solution that makes multi-step workflows reliable even when individual steps crash, without much effort by developers. It's particularly useful for longer-running workflows like image generation at scale Michael #3: PyCon Talks on YouTube Some talks that jumped out to me: Keynote by Cory Doctorow 503 days working full-time on FOSS: lessons learned Going From Notebooks to Scalable Systems And my Talk Python conversation around it.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hY3NY7gFYtw Podcast audio: In this episode of The Ayn Rand Institute Podcast, Ben Bayer and Tristan de Liège examine Douglas Murray's recent critique of Joe Rogan and other influencers who share their platforms with unreliable pseudo-experts. They explain why Murray fails to clarify the standards for distinguishing expert from non-expert testimony. Among the topics covered: Why Douglas Murray's challenge to Joe Rogan's platforming of non-experts is only partly right; The proper role of expertise; How to properly think about expert consensus as a non-expert; How Murray is unclear about the standards we need for assessing expertise; Why philosophical expertise, not simply on-the-ground experience, is crucial in evaluating the ethics of an ongoing war; Why many people distrust experts. Recommended in this episode are Gregory Salmieri's lecture “How to Be an Objective Consumer of Science,” Ben Bayer's talk “Being Objective About the News.” The podcast was recorded on May 27, 2025 and posted May 30, 2025.

Why does science work at all? This fundamental question reveals something profound about reality itself. Modern science didn’t emerge by accident, it flourished uniquely under a Christian worldview while remaining stillborn in other cultures throughout history. The very foundations that make scientific investigation possible—objective truth, an orderly universe, rational thought, and honest reporting—find their roots in biblical principles. Without these presuppositions, there would be no basis for expecting consistent natural laws or trusting human reason to understand them. This exploration challenges the popular narrative about faith and science, revealing how Christianity provided the essential framework that made modern scientific discovery not just possible, but inevitable.
It has been determined that the 45-year-old Egyptian man accused of allegedly throwing explosives into a crowd Sunday in Boulder, Colorado as a pro-Israel group gathered to advocate for the release of Hamas hostages has been in the United States illegally for years. Mohamed Sabry Soliman overstayed his visa and has been charged with a hate crime in what the FBI described as a "targeted terror attack" that left eight people, ages 52 to 88, with burn injuries, including one in critical condition. None of the victims have died. FOX's Eben Brown speaks with Liora Rez, the Founder and Executive Director of StopAntisemitism, who says the terror attack targeted Jews but the same extremist ideology wants the United state destroyed.

The House of Representatives' budget reconciliation plan, backed by President Trump, is headed to the Senate. The bill touched on nearly every aspect of President Trump's agenda, which Senate Leader John Thune hopes to have passed by July 4, 2025. The budget bill passed through the House with a slim majority, which concerns some Americans that it may face restraint in the Senate. U.S. Senator Katie Britt (R-AL) joins the Rundown to discuss the Senate's work on President Trump's reconciliation bill and Republicans' efforts to cut taxes, reduce spending, and create more U.S. jobs. She also describes her own bipartisan bill, which aims to improve childcare affordability and help parents re-enter the workforce.

Closing arguments began last Friday in the government's historic antitrust case against Google. U.S. District Judge Amit Mehta has already determined that Google holds an illegal monopoly in internet search and with its ad network. As he considers punishments, which could include forcing the tech giant to sell its Chrome browser, he is also scrutinizing how Google competes in the artificial intelligence market. He is considering limiting how Google can promote its AI model, Gemini, to prevent it from holding back competitors like ChatGPT. Gary Kaltbaum, President of Kaltbaum Capital Management and Fox Business contributor, joins Gerri Willis to discuss the implications of the government's case against Google and why he says the company is being unfairly targeted.

In 1907, a German pharmacist named Julius Neubronner invented the pigeon camera. It was a small camera strapped to a pigeon's breast — like a photographic baby-bjorn. A timer let the camera take multiple snapshots throughout the bird's flight. This allowed for some of the earliest aerial photography, and even seemed promising for military reconnaissance.More info and transcript at BirdNote.org.Want more BirdNote?

The Trump Administration is cracking down on foreign student visas this week, pausing interviews, announcing plans to increase scrutiny of international students, and even revoking the visas of students from China. Earlier this week, George Washington University Law Professor and FOX News Contributor Jonathan Turley joined Jessica Rosenthal to weigh in on some of these actions and the legal battles they will spark. He also discussed President Trump's ongoing clash with Harvard University and other elite institutions, as well as his threats to withdraw federal funding. We often must cut interviews short during the week, but we thought you might like to hear the full interview. Today on Fox News Rundown Extra, we will share our entire interview with legal scholar Jonathan Turley and allow you to hear even more of his take on the President's visa crackdown.

Despite facing obstacles, House Republicans were able to meet their Memorial Day deadline to pass President Trump's "one big, beautiful bill." Now it's off to the Senate, where Republicans concerned about its impact on the deficit could make modifications that would send it back to the House. Additionally, the White House is preparing to send a rescissions package to Congress — an initiative designed to codify certain spending cuts identified by DOGE. FOX News Digital Politics Reporter Elizabeth Elkind breaks down what all of this means and what's to come. Then, Senator Ron Johnson (R-WI) discusses his criticisms of the 'one big, beautiful bill' and his plans to investigate the last administration's attempt to cover up the declining mental fitness of former President Biden.

How did horseshoe crabs get their names? Are they even crabs? And did they really exist before the dinosaurs? Early spring presents a unique opportunity to see these living fossils up close as they scuttle up to the shoreline along the Atlantic coast of the United States to mate and spawn. But Why traveled to Cape Cod to see horseshoe crabs up close. There we met up with horseshoe crab expert Sara Grady, who works for Mass Audubon. We learn all about these arthropods and answer questions like: Can humans eat horseshoe crabs? What's with the pointy tails? Do they pinch? How long do they live? And what's so special about their blood? Download our learning guides: PDF | Google Slide | Transcript

Preet's out this week, so we're excited to share an episode of The Gray Area with Sean Illing, which we think listeners of Stay Tuned will enjoy. We'll be back next week! What do you do when you're faced with evidence that challenges your ideology? Do you engage with that new information? Are you willing to change your mind about your most deeply held beliefs? Are you pre-disposed to be more rigid or more flexible in your thinking? That's what political psychologist and neuroscientist Leor Zmigrod wants to know. In her new book, The Ideological Brain, she examines the connection between our biology, our psychology, and our political beliefs. In this episode, Leor speaks with Sean about rigid vs. flexible thinking, how our biology and ideology influence each other, and the conditions under which our ideology is more likely to become extreme.
