We start with a 1927 patent awarded to George Washington Carver, an agricultural chemist, for a locally-sourced Prussian blue. We learn a bit about Carver's life, education, and hobby of painting which may have led to the patent. We examine the patent in some detail, and then hear how it's been revived by a modern artist. Then we discuss other blue pigments throughout history, ending with the newest blue, an accidental discovery in a laboratory in 2009.Support the show Support my podcast at https://www.patreon.com/thehistoryofchemistry Tell me how your life relates to chemistry!

What happens when you lock the door, put away the textbooks, and simply ask God to reveal His secrets? For George Washington Carver—whose discoveries revolutionized American agriculture—this seemingly simple approach produced hundreds of innovations that scientists with sophisticated laboratories couldn't match.This episode explores Carver's extraordinary spiritual journey and scientific legacy alongside Jesus's teachings in Matthew 6 about seeking God in secret. Though offered enormous salaries by Thomas Edison and others, Carver refused, choosing instead to continue his divinely-inspired work at Tuskegee Institute. When asked by a Senate committee how he made his discoveries, he famously replied that while the Bible didn't mention peanuts, "it tells about the God who made the peanut. And I asked Him to show me what to do with the peanut, and He did."But this powerful testimony challenges our modern priorities. How many of us make time for Netflix, social media, and entertainment while struggling to carve out moments for prayer or Scripture? Like a nation that wants God's blessings while keeping Him at arm's length, we've become spiritual fair-weather friends—seeking divine intervention when needed but embarrassed to acknowledge Him publicly.Through Carver's remarkable example and Christ's timeless teachings, we're confronted with a profound question: What might happen in our lives, families, and nation if we truly followed Proverbs 3:5-6—"In all thy ways acknowledge Him, and He shall direct thy paths"? The answer might just transform everything.Want to experience more spiritual insights that bridge faith and American identity?

After years of relentless study, George Washington Carver arrived in Alabama in 1896 with a bold vision: to transform Southern agriculture and help Black farmers break free from poverty. But what he found was a region devastated by over-farmed soil, sharecropping, and economic struggle.Joining the Tuskegee Institute under Booker T. Washington's leadership, Carver faced immediate resistance—from both the land and his colleagues. With a near-impossible workload and tensions mounting among faculty, his revolutionary ideas weren't always welcomed. Yet, despite these obstacles, Carver developed innovative farming techniques, pioneered soil restoration methods, and helped create the Jesup Wagon—a mobile agricultural school that brought education directly to struggling farmers.But Carver's impact extended far beyond Tuskegee. His unwavering passion for agriculture and his commitment to improving the lives of Black farmers earned him national recognition. His innovative research on peanuts and sweet potatoes left a profound mark on American agriculture.Join John and Patrick for the conclusion of this two-part series, as they explore how Carver's contributions not only transformed agricultural practices in the South but also paved the way for his rise to national fame, leaving a legacy that continues to inspire today.----------In Sponsorship with Cornell University: Dyson Cornell SC Johnson College of Business-----------Join the History of Fresh Produce Club for ad-free listening, bonus episodes, book discounts and access to an exclusive chatroom community.Support us!Share this episode with your friendsGive a 5-star ratingWrite a review -----------Subscribe to our biweekly newsletter here for extra stories related to recent episodes, book recommendations, a sneak peek of upcoming episodes and more.-----------Instagram, TikTok, Threads:@historyoffreshproduceEmail: historyoffreshproduce@gmail.com

On July 4, 1881, educator and activist Booker T. Washington established the Tuskegee Normal and Industrial Institute in Tuskegee, Alabama, now known as Tuskegee University. Washington took on the role of the institution's first principal, overseeing the inaugural class held in a modest one-room church. It wasn't until a year later that the school's first official building was constructed. Determined to build a lasting legacy, Washington sought out the most qualified Black educators to join the faculty, among them the renowned scientist George Washington Carver, who joined the school in 1896. While only 30 men and women made up the school's inaugural class, Tuskegee University's influence and legacy has since flourished. Today, the university is the largest producer of African Americans with degrees in math, science, and engineering in Alabama, according to the school's website. Learn more about your ad choices.

It's a debilitating condition characterized by extreme fatigue that can't be improved by rest, and can also include brain fog, pain, and dizziness. It's similar to what many Long COVID patients experience. Chris' condition is considered severe, and caused her to lose the use of her hands, and thus her preferred art mediums.However, Chris could still use her left hand with a rollerball mouse and realized that she could use programs like Chaotica to create fractals that she adds to collages in Photoshop, resulting in colorful collages. “They're just beautiful and I'm doing art again and I'm so happy about it,” she said.Transcripts for each segment will be available after the show airs on sciencefriday.com.

In “Unshelled: George Washington Carver's Real Legacy," producers Ishan Thakore and Katie Jane Fernelius explore a lesser-known aspect of Dr. George Washington Carver's legacy: his role as a conservationist and a practitioner of sustainable agriculture. Carver's life defies easy explanation. He was born enslaved and rose to the heights of American academia. Long a painter before he became a botanist, Carver's art was even accepted into the 1893 World's Fair in Chicago. After his death, evangelicals, the LGBTQ community, and the NAACP all heralded him as a pioneer. The military even named a ship after him during World War II. But today, most listeners might only vaguely recall him as “the peanut guy,” who makes a recurring, albeit one-dimensional appearance during Black History Month. Mark Hersey, an environmental historian and author of My Work is that of Conservation: An Environmental Biography of George Washington Carver, argues that most people have considered Carver in the wrong light for years. Carver advocated for seeing connections between animals and the land, and articulated tenets of organic and sustainable agriculture well before they entered the mainstream. Carver's deep Christian convictions informed his conservationist thinking. He saw the world as something to be revered, studied, and protected from degradation. And ultimately, he thought his life's work was to uplift the lot of Black farmers in the South. But, it was his peanut work which ultimately catapulted him to fame. For years, Carver worked at Tuskegee Institute (now University), under the direction of Booker T. Washington. At Tuskegee, Carver headed up an experimental agriculture station, where he wrote research bulletins and brought demonstrations to the countryside to help impoverished Black sharecroppers and tenant farmers in Macon County, Alabama. In an effort to find a low-cost, high-calorie plant which could be grown for food by sharecroppers, Carver began to promote peanuts. He collated recipes and uses, and enthusiastically espoused the hardy legume. And in Carver, the peanut lobby found a perfect spokesperson to testify in front of the House Ways and Means Committee in 1921, to push for a protective tariff. Carver's role as an expert witness brought fame and stardom, but distorted his impact for generations. Hersey argues that Carver's other work, as a conservationist, should be at the forefront of his legacy. In examining Carver's legacy today in practice, farmers like Nick Speed are reacquainting people with Carver's relationship with the land. Speed runs the nonprofit Ujima and its related entity, the George Washington Carver Farms in St. Louis, Missouri. GWC Farms aims to honor Carver's legacy as a farmer who thought holistically about the land he tended. In understanding Carver as a pioneering Black conservationist, listeners might finally be able to move beyond Carver and the peanut. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

3 things Scripture encourages us to boast about

Sign-up for my free 20-day devotional, The Word Before Work Foundations, at http://TWBWFoundations.com--Series: The Most Excellent WayDevotional: 3 of 5I will show you the most excellent way…love…does not boast. (1 Corinthians 12:31, 13:4)George Washington Carver had captivated the United States Congress. It was January 1921, and Carver was testifying about the dozens of different foods he had learned how to make out of peanuts: ice cream, cereal, pickles—the list went on and on. Amused, one congressman asked where Carver learned how to do this. “From a book,” Carver replied. What book? the congressman wanted to know. “The Bible,” Carver said. “I didn't make these discoveries,” Carver explained. “God has only worked through me to reveal to his children some of his wonderful providence.”What a terrific example of the “the most excellent way” Paul calls us to at work: without boasting. The NASB translates this passage as saying, “love does not brag.” The NKJV says “love does not parade itself.” Because that is the example we have in Christ, the perfect personification of love.John 8:53 records a religious leader asking Jesus, “Are you greater than our father Abraham?” Christ, of course, had every reason to boast and answer that question in the affirmative. But instead, he replied, “If I glorify myself, my glory means nothing. My Father, whom you claim as your God, is the one who glorifies me” (John 8:54).That's the rationale behind Paul's command to “not boast.” I don't know about you, but it is hard for me to boast about nothing. Maybe I'm just an excitable, exuberant guy, but I think all of us feel the need to boast in or praise something.Scripture seems to agree, which is why I think God's Word doesn't just tell us what not to boast about. It also encourages us to boast about three things.#1: Boast about the Lord (see 1 Corinthians 1:31). This is what we saw in George Washington Carver. When offered an opportunity to boast in his professional accomplishments, he pivoted to boast in God.#2: Boast about your weaknesses (see 2 Corinthians 11:30). Why? Because when we're transparent about our weaknesses and we succeed, it allows us to point to the Lord as the source of our strength. #3: Boast about others. Paul had no problem boasting about his co-workers (see 2 Corinthians 7:4). Neither should we. I was reminded of this recently when speaking with a reader who really impressed me. I was about to invite this guy onto my podcast, but before I could, he said, “Man, you should have my boss Tim on your show!” Here's my challenge for you this morning: Identify one thing you're tempted to boast about today—closing a deal, getting a promotion, whatever. Next, jot down how you can reframe your boast to brag not in yourself, but in the Lord, your weaknesses, or others.

After Bob Hope's program signed off at 10:30PM eastern war time, The Red Skelton Show signed on. It debuted on Tuesday October 7th, 1941. By February of 1944 it was pulling a rating of 29.9. Ozzie and Harriet Nelson were heavily featured. Skelton was so supercharged that he couldn't do a pre-show warm up. It left his audience exhausted and practically catatonic during the main show. So Skelton reversed the formula and gave his fans an after-show. Among his peers it was considered the hottest comedy act in town. Lurene Tuttle, who later appeared with Ozzie and Harriet on their own show, also starred on The Red Skelton Show. For three seasons Skelton's popularity soared, but then he got divorced and lost his marriage deferment. The army drafted Skelton in 1944. MGM and radio sponsor Raleigh Cigarettes tried to help with no avail. The Draft Board also turned down his request to join the Special Services branch for entertainers. Skelton's last radio program was on D-Day, June 6th, 1944. The next day he was formally inducted as a private. Without its star, the program was discontinued until he could come back from the war. Words at War was an anthology of war stories, “told by the men and women who have seen them happen.” It was produced in cooperation with the Council on Books in Wartime, promising “stories of the battlefronts, of behind-the scenes diplomacy, of underground warfare, of the home front, of action on the seas.” Each show was to be “a living record of this war and the things for which we fight.” First taking to the air on June 24th, 1943 from New York, it was praised by Variety as “one of the most outstanding programs in radio”; by the New York Times as the “boldest, hardest-hitting program of 1944”; and by Newsweek as “one of the best contributions to serious commercial radio in many a year.” Despite airing at 11:30PM on Tuesdays, Words at War stimulated conversation and controversy throughout its two-year run. On Tuesday, February 8th 1944 a story on George Washington Carver was broadcast. When Words At War signed off at midnight, NBC broadcast a ninety minute program for the fourth war bond drive. It was part of an extended effort to raise funds. The night prior at midnight, Ben Grauer hosted this show over NBC.

Are we inadvertently summoning forces beyond our control in our relentless pursuit of innovation and progress? Can we harness the power of our creations without unleashing terrible consequences upon ourselves and our world?  Prometheus and his brother, Epimetheus, were tasked by Zeus with fashioning all living creatures. They granted animals remarkable abilities - feathers for flight, claws, fangs for hunting, tails for balance, and gills to breath underwater. When it came to humans, they had no gifts left. Still, Prometheus loved his human creations and daringly stole fire from Olympus to provide them with warmth and protection. This act of defiance has inspired and cautioned humans for millennia as they reflect on Prometheus' punishment.  Prometheus embodies the eternal struggle between conscious and unconscious forces within psyche. His act of rebellion, like the ego's desire for independence, results in detachment from its unconscious origins. Wild archetypal forces become impossible to contain and chain him to a rock where an eagle eats his liver each day. Prometheus's liberation by Heracles represents the relativization of the estranged inflated ego with the unconscious, fostering growth and humility.  The relentless pursuit of Promethean treasures propelled figures like Oppenheimer and Madame Curie, Louis Pasteur, George Washington Carver, Henry Ford, and Elon Musk. As they extended their grasp into the boundless skies of human potential, these brilliant minds bestowed upon humanity invaluable gifts and some brought risks they could never have imagined.  FIND THE DREAM WE ANALYZE HERE: https://thisjungianlife.com/prometheus/ Try new stuff Learn to interpret dreams: https://thisjungianlife.com/join-dream-school/    Support us on Patreon (keep us free of corporate influence): https://www.patreon.com/ThisJungianLife Share your dream with us: https://thisjungianlife.com/share-your-dream/ Suggest a podcast topic: https://thisjungianlife.com/podcast-form-topics/     Get some TJL merch: https://www.zazzle.com/store/thisjungianlife/products   Talk to Us: YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8Q8IG87DsnQ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/thisjungianlifepodcast Twitter: https://twitter.com/ThisJungianLife Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/ThisJungianLife/ LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/thisjungianlife/

 Henry Wallace was an Iowan, an accomplished geneticist who hybridized corn; an entrepreneur who co-founded Pioneer Hi-Bred to produce seed, still an agricultural behemoth; the third-generation of editors of an influential American newspaper; a mystic who had a mysterious guru; and a “liberal philosopher”, according to no less an authority than Franklin Delano Roosevelt.  He was also at various times Secretary of Agriculture, Secretary of Commerce, Vice President of the United States, and a third-party candidate for President of the United States in the 1948 election. Like America, Henry Wallace contained multitudes.  With me today is Benn Steil, author of The World That Wasn't: Henry Wallace and the Fate of the American Century.

Carver was a friend and advisor to U.S. presidents, including Theodore Roosevelt, and sought out as counsel by some of the best minds in agriculture across the world.     Carver was also one of America's pioneers of the science of ecology and a cutting-edge conservationist who advocated for the restoration of whitetail deer, quail and fisheries, long before such ideas became mainstream. His conservation vision was forged in the fire of his own history and in his life's work in Alabama's post-slavery Black Belt and along the Fall Line, known then as “the most destroyed land in all of the South” -- a place where poverty, injustice and hunger were closely tied to the abuse and collapse of the systems of the earth.

I had the blessing of having Pastor Levesque on our podcast way back in December of 2018.  Episode #405… amen! It is a blessing and an honor to welcome back a great man of God, Pastor James Levesque!  Pastor, thank you for coming back on the program today! Episode #405, Pastor!  That was almost 1000 episodes ago!  Praise God! I just want to take a minute and catch up. I believe our audience will enjoy this… I'm not expecting you to remember this, but I went back and did some research.  We first connected on Facebook back in October or November of 2018. I had made a post asking if anyone had any questions or needed help in launching a podcast. You responded because you were just in the process of launching “Engaging Heaven Today” podcast. This is a daily podcast, so how many episodes are you up to now with your podcast? Praise God!  And folks, you need to listen and to subscribe to his podcast. It is upbeat, energetic and if you listen every morning – it will FIRE YOU UP for the day! Amen! Pastor, last time we talked, you were living in the New London, CT area. Now you're in Florida.  Do you still have that infamous building in New London as your church?  Can you tell us about the history of that building and why it is so significant? Naturally, it's been upgraded over the last hundred years or so… but the structural foundation is still intact?  And you've found some interesting things over the years… like George Washington Carver's initials carved into a wall and things like that? Praise God for your growth over the last five years or so. Last time we talked, I believe you were only in two locations. But you are now in four locations around the country? Let's jump into some current events and discuss your latest book. Amen? There is no doubt that we live in a very pivotal moment in history. It
