While evolution is often thought to be conducive to perfect adaptation, there are plenty of reasons why we never get there. Laurence D. Hurst is a professor of evolutionary genetics in the Milner Centre for Evolution at the University of Bath. His book, The Evolution of Imperfection: The Science of Why We Aren't and Can't Be Perfect is an expansive look into the imperfections of the human genome and why humans seem to be predisposed to so much bad genetic luck. Laurence and Greg explore the evolutionary constraints that lead to imperfections, how population size affects mutation rates, the advancements in gene therapy, and why imperfection could be key to a deeper understanding of evolution. *unSILOed Podcast is produced by University FM.*Episode Quotes:Why humans have such bad genetic luck07:13: We have good reason to think that humans are far from being as fit as they might be. We have a very high mutation rate. We've got one of the highest mutation rates going, for example, and most mutations are deleterious. Most of the time, five to 10% of us will have a rare genetic disorder, for example. And we could be better. We could be a lot, lot, lot better.Medicine is anti-evolution47:17: Medicine is anti-evolution. Evolution is why we keep on having these genetic diseases, and medicine goes, well, you might have them, but we are going to stop them having their effects.Childbirth is more dangerous than the most dangerous job in America12:13: Childbirth is, for humans, a spectacularly dangerous pursuit. There was a lovely survey done by Forbes Magazine of America's most dangerous jobs, and it turns out nothing comes close to childbirth. Childbirth is an order of magnitude more dangerous than America's most dangerous job.Show Links:Recommended Resources:10 Most Dangerous U.S. Careers Heading Into 2025, Study Reveals | ForbesNearly neutral theory of molecular evolutionHe JiankuiGuest Profile:Faculty Profile at University of BathProfessional WebsiteMilner Centre Profile on XGuest Work:The Evolution of Imperfection: The Science of Why We Aren't and Can't Be Perfect Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

In this episode of The Healthspan Podcast, Dr. Robert Todd Hurst, MD, FACC, FASE, sits down with Natasha Mortenson, a HealthspanMD member, for a real-world transformation story that challenges what most people believe about aging, muscle, and hidden risk. Natasha shares how a DEXA scan revealed opportunities she could not see on the surface, and how small, deliberate changes over time led to dramatic body composition improvements, including losing 12 pounds of fat while gaining two and a half pounds of muscle in eight months. They also dig into what Natasha calls the iceberg syndrome, the hidden risk beneath “looking healthy,” the role of testing and re-testing, and why “one size fits all” advice breaks down in real biology. About the Guest: Natasha Mortenson is a HealthspanMD member sharing her personal longevity and body composition journey, including how objective testing, personalized planning, and consistent strength-focused work helped her pursue exceptional results and reduce future health risks.

What happens when an Egyptologist with a PhD decides to stop relying on YouTube and test ads for the first time? In this episode, Melinda Nelson Hurst shares how she spent $1,565 on Facebook ads during a chaotic Q4 launch (while moving houses) and brought in 1,812 new leads at 86 cents each. She made four sales of her $2,500 program—covering her ad spend and then some—while adding nearly 900 confirmed subscribers to her list. And she did it all with recycled image ads and zero videos. This Week on the Get Paid Podcast: How Melinda went from 3,100 subscribers to 4,000 in one launch using basic image ads Why she skipped the video ads entirely (and still got 86-cent leads) Exactly how she duplicated her previous campaign to save time during a move What happened when she turned off double opt-in and let Facebook do its thing How a "C-minus launch" still generated profitable results and fresh subscribers who actually want to learn hieroglyphs About Melinda Nelson Hurst: Melinda Nelson Hurst is an Egyptologist with a PhD who fell in love with ancient Egypt as a child. After nearly becoming an accountant (yes, really), she made her way back to her first passion and now teaches people how to read hieroglyphs for themselves—without having to go back to college to do it. She runs two programs: Scribal School (a year-long course for $587) and Master Scribes (a six-month mastermind for $2,500). After years of relying on YouTube for organic growth, Melinda decided to test Facebook ads—and discovered she could scale her audience without creating more content.

The imposition of Communist ideology was a misfortune for millions in Eastern Europe, but never for Dennis Deletant. Instead, it drew him to Romania. The renowned historian's association with the country and its people dates back to 1965, when he first visited. Since then, Romania has made Dennis appreciate the value of shrewd dissimulation, in the face of the state's gross intrusion in the life of the individual. This vivid memoir charts his first-hand experience of the Communist era, coloured by the early 1970s surveillance of his future wife Andrea; his contacts with dissidents; and his articles and BBC World Service broadcasts, which led to his being declared persona non grata in 1988.  In Search of Romania (Hurst, 2022) also considers how life went on under dictatorship, even if it was largely mapped out by the regime. How did individual citizens negotiate the challenges placed in their path? How important was the political police, the Securitate, in maintaining compliance? How did dissent towards the regime manifest? How did all this affect the moral compass of the individual? Why did utopia descend into dystopia under Ceaușescu? And how has his legacy influenced the difficult transition to democracy since the collapse of Communism? Roland Clark is a Senior Lecturer in Modern European History at the University of Liverpool, a Senior Fellow with the Centre for Analysis of the Radical Right, and the Principal Investigator of an AHRC-funded project on European Fascist Movements.

The book of Acts tells the radical story of how the earliest followers of Jesus lived with a revolutionary dependance on the Holy Spirit. Rather than seeking to be everything and do everything in their own strength, they created a Spirit-filled community - one where the power and presence of the Holy Spirit was central to everything they did. 2000 years later, the invitation for today's followers of Jesus is to do the same. This week, Adrian continues the series by looking at how the early church community devoted themselves to four things - teaching, fellowship, breaking bread, and prayer - and how this caused them to live with awe, joy, generosity and worship.

She had to navigate medical decisions, the DNR, plan the funeral, and step into responsibility for her younger brother while she was still in shock.

Rigby's Encyclopaedia of the Herring: Adventures with the King of Fishes (Hurst, 2025) by Graeme Rigby contains almost everything you didn't know you needed to know about Atlantic herrings. (Pacific and Baltic varieties are in there too.) Herrings make the world bigger: with spawnings seen from space, a trillion individuals make this one of the tastiest and most abundant vertebrates on Earth. From ‘A Beginning' to ‘Zuiderzee', count the wars fought over herrings; don't forget Scotland vs the Holy Roman Empire. The herring's high-pitched farts were logged as Soviet submarines, and one herring joke featured in a Jonson play, four Shakespeare plays and the glorious, suppressed fantasia Nashes Lenten Stuffe. Herrings mock taxonomists; physically change with sea temperature and salinity; stuff predators full to bursting, then swim away. The Great Sardine Litigation? The true history of kippers? Bloaters? Reds? Chopped herring? Shuba? All this and more. Between sustainable fishery genetics, sixteenth-century Bavaria's ‘Herrings, herrings, stinking herrings', and Van Gogh's ear, every entry is a story, a comic journey, an adventure. Some even come with recipes. This interview was conducted by Dr. Miranda Melcher whose book focuses on post-conflict military integration, understanding treaty negotiation and implementation in civil war contexts, with qualitative analysis of the Angolan and Mozambican civil wars.

Today on the GMM Podcast, we have Matt Hurst, head coach of Mercersburg Academy, one of the most storied high school programs in swimming. Mercersburg isn't just another prep powerhouse. This Pennsylvania boarding school has produced 32 Olympians, who've earned 11 Olympic medals, including five golds, representing the United States and 12 other nations. Beyond the Games, Mercersburg swimmers have collected hundreds of High School All-American honors, captured nine National High School team titles, and won more than 20 Eastern Interscholastic Swimming and Diving Championships. But this conversation isn't just about the past. It's about the choices coaches make, the culture they build, and how swimming itself is evolving. Before taking over at Mercersburg, Hurst was the Associate Head Coach at Penn State. With that type of position, you might assume Matt's next step would be a Division I head coaching job. Instead, he took a sharp turn choosing Mercersburg, and choosing to build a legacy in prep swimming rather than chase the collegiate grind. We talk about that decision, what motivated it, and how Mercersburg's unique campus environment shapes athletes differently. Hurst digs into the academic-athletic balance of a prep school model, where swimmers don't just train to win races but to understand the “why” behind excellence.

In this episode of the Inside JABA Series podcast, we dive into a fascinating discussion on health-related routines for adults with intellectual and developmental disabilities (IDD). Dr. Katie McHugh, Dr. Claudia Dozier, and Editor-in-Chief Dr. John Borrero share insights from their recent study, Synchronous Reinforcement Schedules Promote Tolerance of Health-Related Routines for Adults with Disabilities. The conversation explores how synchronous reinforcement schedules—where reinforcement occurs in real time alongside behavior—can improve tolerance for essential routines like toothbrushing, bathing, wearing medical devices, and more. The research team highlights case studies, methodological considerations, and the broader implications for clinical practice. Key Topics Covered ✅ Synchronous reinforcement schedules and why they may be more effective (and preferred) than delayed reinforcement. ✅ Applications for health routines such as toothbrushing, bathing, mask-wearing, GPS bracelets, helmets, and pulse oximeters. ✅ Collaborative service delivery with nursing and medical professionals. ✅ Challenges in participant consent and maintaining experimental control. ✅ Importance of measuring both behavioral outcomes and affective states. ✅ Future research directions, including reinforcer assessments, continuous vs. discontinuous schedules, and maintaining treatment effects. Next Steps and Future Directions Editorial updates for broader keyword usage to increase accessibility outside of behavior analysis. Comparing graduated exposure with contingent vs. synchronous reinforcement interventions. Implementing more systematic preference and reinforcer assessments in future studies. Exploring hybrid approaches (e.g., combining graduated exposure with synchronous reinforcement). Collecting more comprehensive data on participant affect and treatment integrity.
