Knowing why your beer tastes like it does is imperative, in all parts of the chain. In this podcast, part of our Digital Takeover on quality control and analysis, our contributing editor Melissa Cole chairs a panel discussion with figures from the brewing industry whose roles revolve around ensuring quality and extolling the virtues of this to the wider world. As SHE Compliance Manager at Beavertown Brewery, Jessica Maye looks after all things health & safety, food safety and environment & sustainability across their London sites.  Previously a quality & compliance manager at Fourpure, and a PhD candidate at Queen's University Belfast, Jessica's role at Beavertown Brewery as SHE Compliance Manager has allowed her to continue to develop and grow her expertise in Food Safety, in addition to responsibilities such as taking on artwork and label sign off. During this discussion she is joined by Tanya Kondratyuk, formerly quality manager at Leeds-based Northern Monk and also Amber Thorne. Having started her career in beer in the sales team at Siren Craft Brew, Amber has since moved to the iconic Bristol beer scene working with Good Chemistry and is now the Customer Account Manager at Arbor Ales. During this episode they discuss how best to ensure the flow of essential information travels from brewhouse, to quality assurance right through to taprooms and sales - and how that flow really needs to go both ways! As Melissa says, this way everyone feels empowered, every step of the way to offer valuable feedback and information.

The New Jersey Devils remain undefeated in preseason as they squeaked past the New York Islanders 6-5. It wasn't their best showing during the preseason, but they still got the job done. The top line of Jack Hughes, Jesper Bratt, and Tyler Toffoli dominated as they combined for eight total points. Hughes said pregame that they all have good "chem" with one another. So far, he seems to be right. Follow & Subscribe on all Podcast platforms…

How much do you know about your beer and your customers? That's the question asked by Amber Thorne. And when it comes to your brewery, what is your niche - your USP? And on the other side of the conversation, why do you want to sell to a particular venue?Amber Thorne started her career in beer in the sales team at Siren Craft Brew.She has since moved to the iconic Bristol beer scene working with Good Chemistry and is now the Customer Account Manager at Arbor Ales. In her time in beer she has also worked with the non-alcoholic lager brand, Lucky Saint.In this latest podcast, recorded in Bristol in June, she explains and outlines the questions we should be better at asking, why we should know more about who our customers admire and also, why it's worth being honest when asking ourselves if we can actually service an account that we're planning to work with. 

Nathan Zegura talks about the organization's addition of an alternate white helmet, the team's upcoming trip to The Greenbrier for the start of training camp, the expectations facing this team entering the season, the biggest question mark(s) on this roster and the floor and ceiling for this team.

The Kings Head in Bristol dates back to the mid-1800s and resides in a building going back to the 17th century.  Over the years, it has seen many landlords and pub companies come and go.  In the 1970's, the pub was saved from demolition as the council sought to regenerate the area, only being saved by a group of dedicated locals who fought to retain the historic pub.After many years of being operated by a major pub chain, The Kings Head was restored to being a freehouse as Kelly & Bob from Good Chemistry Brewery took on the venue, alongside their pre-existing taproom, The Good Measure.In this episode, we join Kelly & Bob at SIBA Beer X to discuss the pressures involved in running a historic pub, as well as the future of cask beer and how their brewery is fairing during economic conditions that are tough on brewers and operators alike.Follow Hop Forward on Social MediaFacebook | Twitter | Instagram | LinkedIn

Could our brains make us less lonely? Sean Illing talks with psychiatrist and author Julie Holland, whose new book Good Chemistry takes on the crisis of disconnectedness we face today. They discuss the brain chemistry of attachment and human connection, how psychedelics can be used both in therapeutic contexts and to help us feel more connected to others, and the toll that this crisis of isolation can take on us — emotionally, physically, and spiritually.

In the final hour, Matt Spiegel discussed how the Cubs are establishing strong team chemistry and also shared his favorite audio cuts from second baseman Nico Hoerner and outfielder Ian Happ when they were on 670 The Score earlier in the week.

Did you ever ask yourself who in their right mind would invent a convenience to keep food fresh that would one day litter the landscape, wash up on every beach around the world and release toxic substances into the web of life and your body long after its short disposable life? Master green chemists and educators John Warner and Amy Cannon say all that is changing -- by necessity and by design. The radical growth of green chemistry is showing we can have good chemistry with the Earth by emulating nature's green chemistry and do good business at the same time.

Nontoxic hair color from the recipes of beetles, and a potential Alzheimer's cure derived from applying nature's operating instructions. The world-renowned “co-father of green chemistry,” John Warner, says: “We're learning to do everything we want to do without poisoning people or planet.” He's showing how we can follow nature's lead to create good chemistry with nature and our own health. The results are jaw-dropping.

Chemistry can be a tricky thing to figure out and keep, but there is one thing that can help cultivate and accelerate the chemistry in a community faster than anything else. This one thing is essential if harmonic chemistry is what's desired in our church community.

The psychiatrist and Good Chemistry author has written the definitive account of "the science of connection from soul to psychedelics."

The whole crew is together for one longer episode this week. It may be the height of summer, but free-time is in short supply. Aadil, ever the timely host, interrupts the game talk for some steam deck news. Ben updates us on his PS5 queueing. We talk about spiderman, skyrim, and mods, before Aadil talks a lot about the Affogato demo. It's a reverse-tower defense game, think you are the wave going through the maze of static enemies, with a very anime aesthetic. Lucy has Attic's Intuition Session Pale. Ben and Aadil picked up the 7th birthday Good Chemistry special beers. Ben had the Six States NEIPA. and Aadil had the Seven Goats Dobblebock.

Julie Holland is an American psychopharmacologist, psychiatrist, and author. She is an really important voice in the new psychedelic world, we are just creating. She is the author of five books, including Moody Bitches, Good Chemistry, Weekends at Bellevue: Nine Years on the Night Shift at the Psych ER, a memoir documenting her experience as the weekend head of the psychiatric emergency room at Bellevue Hospital in New York City. She is an advocate for the appropriate use of consciousness expanding substances as part of mental health treatment, she is a medical monitor for MAPS studies, which involve, in part, developing psychedelics into prescription medication.Holland sits on a few advisory board, for example Palo Santo and to me, she is one of the most inspiring people in the space. What I like about Julie? She is non judgemental, she always sees the bigger picture in the psychedelic renaissance, and she is a lot fun to talk to. Please enjoy! http://drholland.com/

When Dr. Priyanka Sharma's father's chemical engineering company in Illinois kept getting phone calls asking if it performed industrial hemp extraction, she flew to Colorado to learn more about the ascendant CBD industry. They were floored by how many consumers said they used CBD and other cannabinoids for wellness and saw a huge opportunity. In this episode of Seed to CEO, Priyanka talks with MJBiz CEO Chris Walsh about how Kazmira – the company she and her husband founded and now serve as co-CEOs for - became one of the CBD industry's leading extraction firms. She shares: How to leverage scientific expertise to create advantage-winning innovations. How their involvement in every aspect of the company's creation helped them understand and operate it better. Tips to steer a cannabis company through confusion wrought by a lack of clarity on federal regulations. Who is Priyanka Sharma? Priyanka and her husband co-founded Watkins, Colorado-based Kazmira, a large-scale manufacturer of cannabinoids from industrial hemp, in 2017. Before launching Kazmira, Priyanka earned a doctorate in chemical engineering from the University of Illinois Chicago and has published extensively about molecular modeling and its application in industrial biotechnology. That scientific prowess has led to several extraction innovations that have helped make Kazmira a leader in the cannabis space.

Dr. Latham talks about how he came to believe that it was likely that SARS-CoV-2, the virus that causes COVID19, escaped from the Wuhan Institute of Virology (WIV). We also hear that a network of independent researchers called D.R.A.S.T.I.C. came together to work towards to discover the true source of the virus, and in doing so, confirmed that the closest relative of SARS-CoV-2 is actually a virus that Dr. Shi Zhengli of the WIV partially sequenced back in 2016, and further, that the virus is connected to a mystery pneumonia suffered by six men from Yunnan, China, back in 2012.

Nick talks to chemist Dr. Lee Cronin about life: how it originated on Earth, how we might detect signs of alien life in the universe, whether it can be created in the lab, and related topics. Lee talked about his work on "assembly theory," which provides a framework for thinking about these questions and providing an unbiased way to detect signatures of life in the universe. They also discussed how some of these ideas might relate to evolution, selection, consciousness, and time.

This is the story of Matthew Stellmaker and Keith Hearon and of the good chemistry manifested in their friendship and in the creation of new polymers friendly to people and nature. The idea came to Matthew when he was working at a large company that produces 50,000 tons of citrus waste per year. His friend Keith thought that he could do something interesting with the citrus rinds so Matthew got the company to fund the research into creating a use for this natural material. These two young founders display remarkable self-knowledge and reveal discoveries in the art of founding companies that could help other founders, technical or not.

Nick talks to neuroscientist & psychologist, Dr. Chris Timmermann, a scientist at the Centre for Psychedelic Research at Imperial College London. Chris led the first neuroimaging studies on the effects of the potent tryptamine psychedelic DMT on the brain. They discussed DMT and related psychedelics, including how DMT is normally consumed in both recreational and laboratory contexts, how people describe its effects, how it compares to psychedelics like psilocybin and LSD, and whether it is an endogenous compound present in our own bodies. Chris also described his research on how DMT affects patterns of brain activity, and what he hopes to learn from ongoing research, which includes extending the duration of DMT experiences from a few minutes up to 30 minutes per session.

This episode of the Plant Medicine Podcast is the first installment of a three-part conversation with Dr. Julie Holland. Dr. Holland is a psychiatrist specializing in psychopharmacology, and she is also the author of many books, including her most recent work Good Chemistry: The Science of Connection, from Soul to Psychedelics which discusses the neurochemistry behind human connection. She is also a medical monitor for several MAPS PTSD studies using MDMA-assisted psychotherapy and has worked for decades on US drug policy reform based on harm reduction principles. In addition to this work, Dr. Holland has nine years experience running a psychiatric emergency room as an attending physician on the faculty of NYU school of medicine and she continues her psychiatric work in her private practice in New York City.    In this first installment with Dr. Holland, the conversation focuses on the idea of connection she explored in Good Chemistry. Dr. Holland begins by discussing the importance of feeling a connection with oneself and details how many things in modern life can get in the way of this connection. Self-connection is important, she stresses, because if we are not grounded in ourselves, it can be difficult to establish healthy connections with others. Dr. Holland explains how various neurotransmitters such as oxytocin and dopamine are involved in connecting with self and others and how pharmaceuticals such as opiates act on some of these same systems to simulate comfort.   In addition to discussing human connection from a pharmacological perspective, Dr. Holland also explores the topic through a psychological lens, looking at the role trauma can play in muddying opportunities for connection. This is an area where psychedelics can be particularly impactful, as these substances can disrupt the constant ruminations and patterns of behavior which keep people from pursuing or deepening connections.    Dr. Holland then brings some insights from the science of connection to bear on the practice of psychedelic therapy, discussing how group facilitation of psilocybin therapy could be more impactful by allowing the experiences and integration work to happen in community. The conversation closes with a discussion of how psychedelics can impact the connections one feels, especially to the natural world, and some speculations regarding how the feelings of interconnection elicited by psychedelic experiences could impact political convictions.    In this episode:   How distractions and addictions get in the way of our ability to connect with ourselves How the epidemic of loneliness and the epidemic of overdoses intersect  The pharmacological pathways of oxytocin and the function of the dopaminergic system How psychedelic experiences “shake up” one’s sense of self and the therapeutic effect of this process The double-edged sword of the feelings of group cohesion produced by oxytocin The impact of psychedelics on one’s worldview    Quotes:   “If you’re not in your body, and embodied, and feeling your feelings, you’re not gonna be much use to anybody else in a relationship.” [5:59]   “One of the reasons why opiates are so soothing is they really quell that unease, that anxiety, and they really mimic the chemistry and physiology of what we feel when we are taken care of, held, attended to.” [10:40]   “We are not healthy when we are disconnected. It is a proinflammatory state when we are disconnected, and it is anti-inflammatory when we feel cared for.” [13:35]   “There’s always trauma and everybody carries it around in their bodies to some extent and it really needs to be unearthed and investigated for us to be healthier and happier. So everyone can avail themselves of MDMA-assisted psychotherapy or psilocybin-assisted psychotherapy.” [24:30]   “Oxytocin facilitates neuroplasticity, it facilitates learning. And we learn better in group than we do individually. When we are isolated we do not learn as well.” [29:13]   “There is actual research to show that people who take psilocybin mushrooms and have psychedelic mystical experiences do feel more connected to the planet and do feel more of a sense of obligation to take care of the planet.” [37:23]   Links:   Dr. Holland’s website Good Chemistry: The Science of Connection, from Soul to Psychedelics Psychedelic Medicine Association Porangui

Stephen Silas: Oladipo & Wood Already Have A Good Chemistry

What do forests, psychedelics, and breathing through one side of your nose all have in common? They're good medicine, according to Dr. Julie Holland, for repairing our connection to ourselves, each other and to the wider world around us. Dr. Holland is a psychiatrist and psychopharmacologist who has spent a lot of time understanding what pulls our brains away from a shared reality, and what helps bring them back to reconnect. We talked with Julie in the woods behind her house about her latest book,  “Good Chemistry: The Science of Connection from Soul to Psychedelics”, and why things like singing or forest bathing might hold the keys to unlocking the “rest and repair” pathways of our brains.  More info here: https://www.wildtalkpodcast.com/episode-01-dr-julie-holland  

Julie Holland, MD is a leading spokesperson on behalf of psychedelics and healing altogether. Here she talks about: how we are collectively suffering from a spiritual crisis, at least in part from disconnection and isolation; how psychedelics can help remake the connection; the therapeutic benefits of MDMA; how psychedelics can prepare us for death and how they can heal national and ethnic divisions; and much more.
