Harvard's renowned “Mother of Mindfulness,” Dr. Ellen Langer offers an insightful assessment: the root cause of global challenges lies in mindlessness. With an illustrious forty-five-year career and the distinction of being the first woman to attain psychology tenure at Harvard. Her extensive work spans diverse topics, including the illusion of control, mindful aging, stress, decision-making, and health, challenging the conventional mind-body dualism in Western medicine.In her latest book, The Mindful Body: Thinking Our Way to Chronic Health, Dr. Langer delves into the transformative potential of mindfulness for improving health. This conversation dismantles the separation between mind and body, exploring the concept of mind-body unity. She dissects the power of belief, dispels the illusion of control, and offers a novel perspective on decision-making and manipulation. The discourse extends to the psychological construct of fatigue, demonstrating how mindfulness positively influences physical endurance.Advocating for a paradigm shift, Dr. Langer encourages liberating ourselves from past experiences and conventional wisdom. This transformative mindset, she asserts, unlocks untapped potential, fostering increased agency and empowerment. The discussion reveals intricate connections between the mind and body, providing practical tips and cutting-edge research to empower individuals to take control of their health and achieve enhanced well-being.

31. Why the Reactionary Campaign Against Claudine Gay Is a Matter of Great Concern

Claudine Gay, Harvard's first Black president, resigned on January 2 – the endpoint of a brutally dishonest rightwing campaign that could not have succeeded without the mainstream media eagerly joining the crusade to get her fired. We discuss why this disastrous affair matters: It was the latest iteration of the eternal reactionary grievance against higher education, which conservatives have always seen as a place of subversive liberal indoctrination and dangerous social engineering; part of an attempt to recapture the institutions of American life that “the Left” has supposedly hijacked; and a crucial battle in a much broader struggle to extinguish whatever progress towards diversity and integration has been made. Harvard matters because this sets the precedent for other places, other universities, other institutions. The campaign was orchestrated by far-right activists like Christopher Rufo, promoted and financed by a rightwing billionaire donor class, and pushed by MAGA Republicans like Elise Stefanik. But wait, even if bad actors were behind it, did Claudine Gay not still plagiarize? We discuss that too and assess the substance of the plagiarism allegations against her. Friends, there is no there there. Then why did the mainstream media propagate, launder, and legitimize such a dangerous campaign and ardently accept the role Rufo needed it – publicly told it! – to play? They didn't just “fall for it,” they deliberately joined this crusade – a decision indicative of the media favoring “neutrality”-theater journalism over accuracy, of an increasingly reactionary, anti-“woke” stance on the center, and of America's elites rapidly accommodating extremism. We are in for a rough ride.   Show notes: Alvin Tillery, “Putting the Racist Crusade against Harvard's Dr. Claudine Gay in Context” https://medium.com/@atillery2/putting-the-racist-crusade-against-harvards-dr-claudine-gay-in-context-26535c307f96   Don Moynihan, “The campaign that removed the President of Harvard was about DEI, not plagiarism,” https://donmoynihan.substack.com/p/the-campaign-to-remove-the-president   Moira Donegan, “Claudine Gay's resignation had nothing to do with plagiarism” https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2024/jan/04/claudine-gay-harvard-resignation   Claudine Gay, “What Just Happened at Harvard Is Bigger Than Me” https://www.nytimes.com/2024/01/03/opinion/claudine-gay-harvard-president.html

On this episode of The Golden Age of Orthodontics, we are joined by Dr. Sercan Akyalcin, the head of Orthodontics at Harvard School of Dental Medicine. What is the future of Orthodontics, and how does digital dentistry play a role? What are the educational requirements for admittance to Harvard's Orthodontic program? Dr. Sercan will discuss these topics and share his perspective on Do-It-Yourself Dentistry. There's never been a better time to be an orthodontist. IN THIS EPISODE: Dr. Akyalcin discusses the variety of modalities studied to complete the training of an orthodontist and how the field of technology has drastically changed the tools available.  The Covid pandemic affected clinical hours of training; however, online teaching platforms adapted to change.  Dr. Akyalcin relates how the curriculum needs to include more classes focusing on the business side of orthodontics and states that there is a shortage of educators.  Discussion of the Do It Yourself Approach and why specialists will always be needed.  What does success look like for the next generation of orthodontists, and what is the importance of communication Dr. Akyalcin advises the steps required to be accepted into the Orthodontic Program and the vision he sees for the Harvard Orthodontic program.  KEY TAKEAWAYS:  Learning the business side of an orthodontic practice is just as important as knowing the skill of dentistry.  Harvard is looking for well-rounded individuals to enter their Orthodontics Program. Therefore, although grades are important, they are not the determining factor. Educators need to teach their students the business side of their practice. RESOURCE LINKS People + Practice - Website Dr. Sercan Akyalcin - Harvard Website Harvard Orthodontics Dentistry - Website BIO: Dr. Sercan Akyalcin joined the School as a member of the faculty in the department of Developmental Biology and program director for Advanced Graduate Education (AGE) in Orthodontics on March 1, 2022. Akyalcin, a native of Turkey, received his DDS and PhD degrees from Ege University School of Dentistry. Soon after completing his PhD degree, he began his teaching career in Canada. He then went on to receive his clinical training in the Orthodontic Program at The University of Texas Health Science Center at Houston. In addition, he served as Bonham Magness Endowed Professor and Graduate Program Director at the same institution until 2016. He was a faculty member at Tufts University School of Dental Medicine in Boston, where he also served as the interim chair and graduate program director of Orthodontics before joining HSDM. In his career as a dental educator and orthodontist, Akyalcin has published numerous peer-reviewed papers, contributed to published books and textbooks, and serves on the editorial boards of orthodontic and dental journals. He has been recognized with several awards in the field, including recognition from the American Association of Orthodontists, and the 2019 Edward H. Angle Research Prize.

At HSDM, Akyalcin oversees all aspects of the AGE Orthodontics program including the recruitment and admission of highly qualified applicants; academic and clinical aspects of resident's research projects; the recruitment of part-time faculty; and program-specific curriculum and accreditation standards. QUOTES:  “I think there is a huge need for educators to acclimate to evolving technologies. As practice modalities change, we should adapt our curriculums accordingly.” - Dr. Sercan Akyalcin “Specialty care in orthodontics is here to stay. You can program the most intelligent artificial intelligence and develop the smartest appliance, but our patients are not made out of zeros and ones.” - Dr. Sercan Akyalcin

Brain Fact Friday ”Using Neuroscience to Improve Our Work Lives”

“Did you know that the brains of people who are chronically burnt-out show similar damage as people who have experienced trauma”[i] and that “burnout reduces the connectivity between different parts of the brain which can lead to decreased creativity, working memory, and problem solving skills?” (Vanessa Van Edwards). It's incorrect to assume that burnout is just an emotional response to long hours or a challenging job. Instead, scientific evidence shows that burnout takes a profound physical toll that ripples well beyond our professional lives. For this week's Brain Fact Friday, I want to cover the importance of understanding how serious workplace burnout is at the brain level. After releasing our 3rd interview this season on work burnout, I realized just how important this topic is to you, the listener, with all the comments that came in to me this week on this topic. There is a serious need for us to ALL recognize when we have too much on our plate, so that we take immediate action without feeling like we are giving up on our company, ourselves, our goals or dreams. I also don't want to discourage anyone from putting in the extra work, or effort that is required to reach the top of your industry, or whatever it is that you are working on that might require a push at this time, so, my hope with this episode is that we can find the right balance to get to wherever it is we are going, in one piece, so that we can enjoy life when we get there, and have enough energy left so that we can continue moving forward and attain new goals, reaching new heights and achievement along the way. For returning guests, welcome back, and for those who are new here, I'm Andrea Samadi, author, and educator, with a passion for learning, understanding difficult concepts, and breaking them down so that we can all use and apply the most current research to improve our productivity and results in our schools, sports environments, and modern workplaces. On today's EPISODE #213, “The Neuroscience Behind Work Burnout” we are going to look at what's happening in the brain when we are under considerable workplace stress, so that we can recognize this often swept under the rug concept, and put some solutions into place immediately, to prevent the effects of this epidemic called burnout, with an understanding of what's happening at the brain level.  “Using cutting-edge techniques, integrative research teams are demonstrating that burnout is not just a state of mind, but a condition that leaves its mark on the brain as well as the body. Just as the impact of burnout that stifles healthy professional growth, emerging research shows that the chronic psychosocial stress that characterizes burnout not only impairs people's personal and social functioning, it also can overwhelm their cognitive skills and neuroendocrine systems — eventually leading to distinctive changes in the anatomy and functioning of the brain.”[ii] Dr. Bessel van der Kolk[iii] (psychiatrist, author of the book The Body Keeps the Score[iv]) draws on more than thirty years at the forefront of research and clinical practice, to show the characteristics of the brain of someone who has experienced trauma and research now shows these characteristics are showing up in the brains of  employees who are chronically burnt out. What to look for: Fear-Driven Brain: People who have experienced trauma (or are under chronic stress) will have a brain with enhanced threat perception (or see danger where others see things can be manageable). (Van der Kolk) THINK ABOUT THIS… If you are under chronic stress, do you see threat or danger often? For example—do you think others are out to get you? This could be that your threat perception has been enhanced from chronic stress and a signal for you to slow down. Unusual Outbursts or Increased Moodiness: Burnout Enlarges Our Amygdala (our emotional center in the brain) and can increase moodiness. (Vanessa Van Edwards). THINK ABOUT THIS… If you notice someone around you is unusually moody, it might be their brain's reaction to their increased stress. Instead of snapping back at them, see if you can help them to find ways to decrease their stress levels. When we work with our brain in mind, we can find solutions to problems, instead of jumping to conclusions or assumptions (which is easy to do). Inability to Think: Burnout reduces the neural connections in the brain, causing decreased creativity, working memory and problem solving skills. (Vanessa Van Edwards). THINK ABOUT THIS… While under stress, do you find it difficult to think? I relate to this one the most because I cannot write these podcast episodes unless the house is quiet. In order for thinking, creativity, problem solving and memory consolidation to occur, our brain must be working optimally. I know we have said it often on this podcast—“when our brain works right, we work right” (Dr. Daniel Amen) and if you can't think, this is a red flag that something needs to change. All of this seems common sense, but just because we know something, it doesn't mean it's common practice. How many of you have noticed these stress related situations, and pushed through, ignoring all of the stressors that face us daily. Most of us… But did you know that The World Health Organization added burnout to the International Classification of Diseases Index in 2019. It defines burnout as “resulting from chronic workplace stress that has not been successfully managed”[v] and in our last interview with Dr. Sharon Grossman[vi] this week, being able to recognize when we are feeling stressed, is the first step towards being able to better manage ourselves, before it becomes chronic, impacting our brain and cognition. Christina Maslach, a professor emerita of psychology at University of California Berkeley  developed a way to measure burnout with an inventory[vii] that can predict burnout before it occurs and two of her inventory items we spoke about on our last episode. Control: Do workers have enough autonomy (like the example we used with the employee with no control over their schedule). How does control work in your organization? Do employees ever get double booked on calls, (adding stress and pressure to their day) or do they have the ability to set boundaries for what they can and cannot do in the day (making their schedule manageable)? Reward: Does the company recognize when employees go above and beyond with recognition, and rewards that motivate employees to work harder, and put in that extra effort? Do they reward hard working employees outside of their working hours? If not, employees will eventually tire of this hard work, without any reward, and engagement will decrease. Both of these situations can lead to an employee disengaging from their work. The first example, the worker becomes over-engaged and without the needed breaks, their cognition will be affected, and eventually their health, (which I watched happen to someone I know this week, while writing this episode and thinking “that person is showing the classic signs of burn out” and sure enough, they did, before the week ended and they were forced to slow down) or the second example, will lead to under-engagement, without a challenging, stimulating environment, leading the employee to check out mentally from their work which means their health will also be at risk, in addition to their productivity. What Should We All Know About Work Burnout? “It is estimated that 40% of office workers in the United States and Canada are burnt-out and this statistic is even higher in industries like medicine and athletics which have 50% and 60% burnout rates respectively.”[viii] This is exactly what we heard from Dr. Sharon Grossman who works mostly with doctors and high level CEOs, not to mention even the highly successful journalist, Arianna Huffington who learned the hard way that ignoring these red flags connected to our wellness will not allow any of to escape unscathed as she “collapsed from exhaustion, hit her head on her desk, and broke her cheekbone”[ix] when she ignored these signs. For this week's Brain Fact Friday, I didn't want to paint the picture that there is something wrong with hard work. I watch hard workers excel all the time, and they amaze me with their ability to perform at high levels, consistently, without complaining, just quietly working and hitting goal after goal, moving them forward one step at a time, with the tenacity that comes from a mix of their vision, and being dedicated to their craft. I just want to highlight that in this quest for whatever it is we are working on, if we notice something in off where we are either overly engaged, or under engaged with our work, that ignoring these signs won't get us anywhere. Putting our brain health and well-being first, which is the theme of our podcast this season, REMEMBER FOR THIS WEEK'S BRAIN FACT FRIDAY: “That the brains of people who are chronically burnt-out show similar damage as people who have experienced trauma”[x] and that “burnout reduces the connectivity between different parts of the brain which can lead to decreased creativity, working memory, and problem solving skills” (Vanessa Van Edwards) and if we want to be at our best, increase our creativity, solve problems and have a stellar memory, then it all begins with optimizing our brain by managing our levels of stress. And with that, I hope everyone has a relaxing weekend, and we will see you next week with Dr. Marie Gervais[xi], who specializes in the future of work, workplace communication and productivity, as well as the well known Chey and Pav[xii], my good friends from Toronto from the @staffpodcast. Our interview with Harvard's Dr. Baland Jalal[xiii] on the bizarre lessons we can learn from our dream world will be coming at the end of the following week, as he is traveling, but this interview is one that you won't want to miss. It's going to be an exciting month. Rest up, and See you next week.

The Guidelines may be relatively consistent but drinking patterns (especially during Covid-19 pandemic), and types of beverages have changed significantly.Harvard's Dr. Eric Rimm, thought leader, alcohol researcher, and True Health Initiative Council member, joins Kathleen Zelman on the podcast for a spirited conversation into the prevailing wisdom and body of evidence on alcohol consumption.There is no recommendation to start drinking for health. So, if you don't drink, don't start. The rest applies to those who do drink alcohol. They discuss how, in the context of a healthy lifestyle that includes regular physical activity, not smoking, wholesome diet and healthy body weight, alcohol in moderation confers health benefits. Learn more about the risks; who should avoid alcohol; binge drinking and the importance of moderation.Key messages:The weight of the evidence continues to support moderate drinking defined as two drinks per day for men and one drink per day for women.Many variables play into these recommendations including genetics, so it is wise to discuss alcohol consumption with your physician.It doesn't matter if you choose spirits, wine or beer.A drink (standard drink equivalent) is 1.5 ounces of 80-proof distilled spirits, OR 5 ounces of 12% alcohol wine, OR 12 ounces regular (not high gravity or craft) 5% alcohol beer.Beware of the calories! Drinking too much leads to weight gain. Most alcohol is 100-150 calories per serving but that does not include mixers.It's best to enjoy alcohol with food and it's not a bad idea to take off one day a week of alcohol consumption.

But brewers started to notice tainted ice from pollution and sewage. To answer this problem modern refrigeration was implemented. This was at the same time germ theory was developing. -towards the end of the 19th century it started to be more accessible and everyone was on the refrigeration invention kick. even Albert Einstein co-filed a patent in 1930 for a refrigerator. -Study on cause of lessened mortality linked https://childrenshealthdefense.org/news/the-impact-of-vaccines-on-mortality-decline-since-1900-according-to-published-science/ to refrigeration and sanitation -on October 19, 1970, Harvard's Dr. Edward H. Kass gave a speech “Infectious Disease and Social Change” attributing 74% reduction in mortality since 1900? he did say. A follow up study by McKinlay and McKinlay in 1977 attributed the lessened mortality to “water treatment, food safety, organized solid waste disposal, and public education about hygienic practices.” Also, “improvements in crowding in US cities” played a major role. Clean water. Safe food. Nutrition. Plumbing. Hygiene.” a big part of this is food safety which is keeping food cool enough and heating it up enough Follow me on instagram and facebook: @abilityair Youtube John Abilityman Dungan --- This episode is sponsored by · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. https://anchor.fm/app

“Agile” is one of the buzziest workplace practices today - all about moving fast and breaking things, and iterating to perfection. The practice has picked up fans and detractors, as more and more companies have left waterfall methodologies in their wake. But is agile the way to go for all teams, and can it actually scale? Host Christine Dela Rosa moderates a fiery debate between Kelvin Yap and Dominique Ward over the limitations and opportunities of agile at scale.In this episode, you'll also hear from Lutron Electronics' Ben Bard about how scaling agile united his company's hardware and software teams, and from Excella's Nicole Spence-Goon about the empowerment that scaled agile gives teams. Harvard's Dr. Heidi K. Gardner joins to share her research about the failure rate of scaling agile; and agile coach Matthias Orgler illustrates the risks of being fake agile, or "fragile." For the transcript and downloadable takeaways, visit https://www.atlassian.com/blog/podcast/work-check.

Dr. Patterson and I revisit some of the major themes we discussed in our last conversation on challenges facing the Republican Party, then broaden the discussion to include challenges faced by the Democrats when it comes to governance, and the broader implications of a non-functioning Congress to the American political system.

Dr. Ellen Langer, a social psychology professor at Harvard University, is widely considered the “mother of mindfulness”, researching the topic since the 70's.  She has been the recipient of a Guggenheim Fellowship, the American Psychological Association's Award for Distinguished Contributions to Psychology in the Public Interest, the Liberty Science Center Genius Award, the Distinguished Contributions of Basic Science to Applied Psychology award from the American Association of Applied and Preventive Psychology, the James McKeen Cattel Award, and the Gordon Allport Intergroup Relations Prize. She's the author of the book that arguably introduced the concept of mindfulness to the public consciousness, Mindfulness, now in its 25th-anniversary edition. In this episode Dr. Langer shares what mindfulness really is, how we can get there, and how it can help us get through this and every moment with more joy.Key TakeawaysWhat mindfulness really is (hint: it's not a practice or an activity, it's a state)How mindfulness and its attendant benefits to well-being all connect to the ability to exist in the presentHow stress, mood, and life satisfaction are entirely the result of our personal interpretation of experienceHow to enter a state of mindfulness, and condition ourselves to live that way (and why it's one of the healthiest things we can do)Favorite Quotes“All we have is moments. All of our stress is based on the future.”“Hoping for something has built into it the expectation that it is unlikely.”“If we just make the moment better, everything will fall into place for us.”“Information changes depending on context”“Events don't cause stress. What causes stress are the views we take of events.”“When you're mindful, you're averting the danger not yet arisen… you're there so you can take advantage of opportunities to which you'd otherwise be blind.”“Mindfulness is not a practice. Mindfulness is actively noticing new things.”“Most of the things we worry about are not worth the time.”SupportThis podcast is made possible by you — our listeners all over the world — from Brazil to Australia, the USA to Singapore.

Listen NowThe 2019 Lancet Countdown on Health and Climate Change (subtitled, Ensuring That the Health of a Child Born Today is not Defined by a Changing Climate), released in mid-November, identifies 41 indicators in five domains: climate change impacts, exposures and vulnerability; adaption, planning and resilience for health; mitigation actions and health co-benefits; economics and finance; and, public and political engagement.  Since this interview focuses on the first three domains, concerning the latter two, a few take-aways: in 2018 investment in fossil fuels increased slightly while investment in low-carbon energy slightly decreased; fossil fuel subsidies increased to $427 billion in 2018 or were 50% higher than in 2016; carbon pricing instruments in 2018 covered just 13% of global greenhouse gas emissions; in the US carbon prices averaged just $1/ton of CO2; regarding fossil fuel divestment, since 2008 investment funds committed to divestment equaled nearly $8 trillion with health institutions accounting for only $42 billion.  Concerning public engagement, in 2018 only 12% of health care companies referenced health in context of the climate crisis – however this was consistent with media and government communication that also does not typically connect the climate crisis with health.  Listeners may know I interviewed Dr. Jeremy Hess a year ago this week regarding 2018 Lancet Countdown report.   During this 28-minute conversation Dr. Salas discusses moreover the Countdown's 2019 findings moreover regarding health impacts, exposures and vulnerabilities including heat-related illnesses, those related to greenhouse gas emissions/ambient air pollution, vector borne diseases and the disproportionate effects they have on children and the elderly.  Dr. Salas also discusses adverse effects the climate crisis is having on food security and nutrition, what, or what more, health care providers can do to respond to the crisis (including relevant changes in clinical training) and efforts during the just-concluded UN COP 25 (Conference of the Parties related to the UN's Framework Convention on Climate Change) meetings just held in Madrid - that Dr. Salas attended.Dr. Renee N. Salas is an Assistant Professor of Emergency Medicine at Harvard Medical School and an Emergency Medicine Physician at the Massachusetts General Hospital (MGH). She received her Doctor of Medicine from the innovative five-year medical school program to train physician-investigators at the Cleveland Clinic Lerner College of Medicine. She concurrently obtained a Master of Science in Clinical Research from the Case Western Reserve University School of Medicine.  Subsequently, she received a Master of Public Health from the Harvard T.H.

From the Journal of Pain, March 2007 (link)   Lowered risk of Type 2 Diabetes Those who consumed 6 or more cups per day had a 22% lower risk of diabetes. From the Archives of Internal Medicine (link). A recent review of research conducted by Harvard's Dr. Frank Hu showed that the risk of type II diabetes decreases by 9% for each daily cup of coffee consumed. Decaf coffee decreased risk by 6% per cup.   Lowered risk of Alzheimer's disease There is considerable evidence that caffeine may protect against Alzheimer's disease. From the European Journal of Neurology (link). A recent study also isolated the compounds in roasted coffee that may be responsible for preventing the build-up of the brain plaque believed to cause the disease.    Reduces suicide risk and Depression A 10-year study of 86,000 female nurses shows a reduced risk of suicide in the coffee drinkers. From the Archives of Internal Medicine (link). Another study conducted by the Harvard School of Public Health found that women who drink 4 or more cups of coffee were 20% less likely to suffer from depression. Study link.   Coffee drinkers have stronger DNA. A study published in the European Journal of Nutrition showed that coffee drinkers have DNA with stronger integrity since the white blood cells of coffee drinkers had far less instance of spontaneous DNA strand breakage. Study abstract.   Lower Risk of Multiple Sclerosis. Recent research showed that at least 4 cups of coffee a day may help protect against the development and reoccurrence of MS. It is believed that the coffee prevents the neural inflammation that possibly leads to the disease developing. The study was published in the Journal of Neurology, Neurosurgery & Psychiatry.    Coffee reduces colorectal cancer risk. Even moderate consumption of coffee can reduce the odds of developing colorectal cancer by 26%. This protective benefit increases with more consumption. The study is described in detail here.   Reduced Liver Cancer Risk: Researchers at USC Norris Comprehensive Cancer Center found that those that consume 1-3 cups of coffee a day have a 29% reduced risk of developing liver cancer (hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC), which is the most common type. Src.   Prevents Retinal Damage. A Cornell University Study showed that coffee may prevent retinal damage due to oxidative stress. Caffeine isn't the culprit here, but chlorogenic acid (CLA), which is one of the strong antioxidants found in the coffee bean. link                 Black coffee prevents cavities. Researchers out of Brazil found that strong black coffee kills the bacteria on teeth that leads to tooth decay. Adding milk or sugar to coffee negates this benefit. –link                 Coffee may protect against periodontal disease. As part of the US Department of Veterans Affairs Dental, Longitudinal Study coffee consumption and dental health among 1,152 men was tracked from 1968-1998. The researchers found that coffee didn't promote gum disease and actually showed a protective benefit. Link                 Coffee may protect against melanoma. A study published in the Journal of the National Cancer Institute found that melanoma risk decreases with coffee consumption and that this risk decreases with each cup consumed. Study link.
