Welcome to IFLScience's first-ever Halloween podcast special, bringing you a feature-length episode of The Big Questions as we take on the UK's most haunted castle. We journeyed to Northumberland up by the Anglo-Scottish border to spend the night in Chillingham Castle, a place that allegedly boasts an above-average number of ghosts. We wanted to explore what attracts people to sites such as this one, even inspiring folks to gear up with a host of ghost-hunting tools and try and communicate with spirits, despite the fact we've yet to find any evidence for their existence. At IFLScience, we don't do things by halves, so we threw it all at the wall: Ouija boards, dungeon immersion, dowsing rods, spirit boxes, and just a bit of old-fashioned wandering around in the dark. We also spoke to Emeritus Professor Chris French, an expert in anomalistic psychology, and the founders of the Recreational Fear Lab to top up on the science of fear and better understand why it is the paranormal has us all in such a choke hold. So, join IFLScience's Chris Carpineti, Dr Beccy Corkill, Rachael Funnell, and Dr Russ Moul as they journey into the unknown in this very special episode of The Big Questions.

Where do baby dinosaurs come from? It's a question that's been burning in the collective brain of the IFLScience team for some time. In this episode, host Rachael Funnell speaks with science writer and palaeontologist Riley Black to find out what science has discovered so far about the sex lives of dinosaurs.

Eclipse: Cloud Study Has Worrying Implications For Attempts At Climate Engineering", this is the title of a new science report from IFLscience.com. The IFL report further states, "Attempts to engineer the planet's climate could have the opposite effect to the one intended." What does this long overdue report officially confirm? That blocking the sun curtails the planet's own cloud producing functions, AKA, the planet's own attempts to cool itself. Translation, the entire foundational premise for geoengineering "solar radiation management" operations is completely flawed. What are the true objectives and agendas behind "stratospheric aerosol injection" operations? The latest installment of Global Alert News is below.

Here is a little teaser for our brand new podcast: Break It Down! Coming soon to a podcast app near you...

This week Carrie tells you about a CIA report that was done in 1983 and declassified in 2003 about the potential ability for humans to enter an altered state of consciousness and be able to transcend space and time. It's also got a connection to “Lucky Girl Syndrome,” and that amazing Reticular Activating System (RAS) we all have. Carrie teaches us how thoughts really can become things, and you don't want to miss it!

Brands get lucky once, maybe twice every generation, when the rules of status change and social equity is suddenly up for grabs. Our Concept Bureau Senior Strategist Zach Lamb believes we are in the midst of one of those rare shifts right now, where we are moving from the self-indulgence of conspicuous consumption to the self-denial of what he calls “conspicuous commitment”.Public figures are devoting themselves to difficult new modalities, diets, spiritual quests, life practices and ideologies. Your friends are going on arduous, painful, yet revelatory, psychedelic retreats. All around us, wellness brands, food brands, medical brands, lifestyle brands tell us that self-denial is the new flex.No longer are we obsessed with flaunting material possessions and extravagant experiences; instead, we're witnessing the rise of people showcasing their unwavering dedication to self-work, vulnerability and personal growth.In a time when nihilism is literally everywhere, when pessimism gets clicks on headlines, when post-capitalist hopelessness is a trending aesthetic on TikTok and every meme deals in absurdity, conspicuous commitment stands out.In this episode, we also speak with W. David Marx, author of “Status and Culture: How Our Desire for Social Rank Creates Taste, Identity, Art, Fashion, and Constant Change” who has an alternative view of how status is tied to money more than ever, and what that means for an increasingly flattening culture.If you deal in any premium or luxury category, this is a must-listen. The ways we seek to distinguish ourselves have dramatically evolved as we prioritize discipline and personal growth over material success.That means everyone has to play by new rules.Links to interesting things mentioned in this episode and further reading:Conspicuous Commitment Is the Next Era Of Status (Concept Bureau): https://conceptbureau.com/conspicuous-commitment-is-the-next-era-of-status/Status and Culture: How Our Desire for Social Rank Creates Taste, Identity, Art, Fashion, and Constant Change by W.

In the 30 years since the Spielberg movie came out, people from all walks of life have wondered if bringing back dinosaurs is possible, and we couldn't let the anniversary pass without asking scientists working on dinosaurs and cloning if such a feat is feasible. IFLScience's Digital Content Producer Rachael Funnell spoke with Dr. Susie Maidment from the Natural History Museum London and Ben Lamm from Colossal Biosciences to ask a question 66 million 30 years in the making: Is Jurassic Park possible?

What and how we eat plays a huge role in keeping us healthy. The role of diet in helping us when we are fighting off diseases is also enormous, but not discussed often enough. Dr Alfredo Carpineti sat down with Dr William Li to talk about cutting-edge research on how diet helps us stay healthy, and the role it plays in supporting medical treatments. Dr Li is a physician, scientist, president, and medical director of the Angiogenesis Foundation, and author of Eat To Beat Disease: The New Science of How Your Body Can Heal Itself.

Egy új tanulmányban a szerzők egy igen izgalmasnak tűnő exobolygót mutatnak be – írja egy tudományos folyóirat (az IFLScience). A TOI-1452 b jelű égitest egy bináris rendszerben, egy kis csillag körül kering a Földtől nagyjából 100 fényévre, gyakorlatilag a Naprendszer szomszédságában. A bolygó nagyobb és nehezebb lehet a Földnél, felszínét pedig víz boríthatja. A kutatók szerint az égitest 30 százalékban víz, ami a földi 1 százalékhoz képest óriási arány. Az objektum 11 nap alatt kerüli meg csillagát, és a lakható zónán belül fekszik, ahol elvileg folyékony, fagyott és gáz állapotában is létezhet víz. Amennyiben a szakértők következtetései helyesek, az égitesten egy hatalmas óceán van. Boldog Ádám, exobolygásszal beszélgettünk

As the human population increases so too does our demand for food, but in the face of the climate crisis scientists are seeking alternative and sustainable solutions to traditional agricultural practices. In this episode of IFLScience, The Big Questions, we teamed up with BBC Earth to speak with Luca Gamberini of Nemo's Garden to ask: Is the future of farming underwater? Nemo's Garden is working to create an alternative system of agriculture that uses the oceans and other bodies of water to establish a more sustainable way of farming. In this episode, host Rachael Funnell speaks to Gamberini about the complexities of farming underwater and how their innovative agricultural practices could help to protect and conserve the planet. This episode is presented in partnership with BBC Earth as part of #OurGreenPlanet – an impact initiative that aims to protect our green spaces by sharing the extraordinary stories of people around the globe dedicating their lives to positive change. In association with Moondance Foundation.

In Berlin treffen sich seit Montag die Unterzeichnerstaaten des Antarktis-Vertrags. Es geht um die gemeinsame und friedliche Forschung, Nutzung und den Schutz des Kontinents. ZEIT-Autorin Carolin Wahnbaeck analysiert im Update, ob die Antarktis zum geopolitischen Spielball wird. Der chinesische Staat unterdrückt und foltert in Umerziehungslagern die Minderheit der Uiguren. Die Xinjiang Police Files, eine neue internationale Recherche mehrerer Medien, dokumentieren den Alltag in den Lagern mit Fotos und Dokumenten so anschaulich wie nie zuvor. Außerdem im Update: - Die Ständige Impfkommission empfiehlt jetzt allen Kindern im Alter von fünf bis elf Jahren eine Covid-19-Impfung. Die meisten Kinder sollen aber nur eine Impfdosis erhalten. - Wer sich in Deutschland mit den Affenpocken infiziert, muss künftig für 21 Tage in Isolation. Eine neue Pandemie sei aber nicht zu befürchten, sagt Bundesgesundheitsminister Karl Lauterbach (SPD). Was noch?

From DailyPodcastPractice.com I've got this interesting tidbit of news from IFLScience.com - New US Bill Could Lead To Reverse Engineering Of UFO Technology.

From extraterrestrial intelligence to simple life forms, the Universe might be teeming with life. Can we find and communicate with these life forms? IFLScience spoke to Dr Seth Shostak, Senior Astronomer at the SETI Institute to tackle the fundamental question: are we alone in the Universe?

Poet and philosopher Rumi once wrote, “Love is the bridge between you and everything.” As much as a loving bond between people may be the starting point for close relationships, the future of it however, is shaped by stress, communication, coping, mental health, and interpersonal support; which are the defining factors that allow those relationships to last or crumble. Bicker, squabble, argue, wrangle, fight, disagree, dispute, and spar are some of things that we do when we're in a relationship with someone that we care about. Without the full knowledge of the psychological science behind it, it's hard to know if the behaviors and approaches to conflict resolution are effective or even healthy. On this episode, relationship expert, award-winning teacher, professor at Monmouth University and author of Stronger Than You Think: The 10 blind spots that undermine your relationship and how to see past them, Dr. Gary W. Lewandowski Jr., discusses how seeking personal growth and undergoing self-expansion can help us grow. Relationships are the vehicles to broaden the lens we use to look at ourselves and inspecting our blind spots can carry tremendous benefit.About Dr. Gary LewandowskiDr. Gary W.

In today’s Solidarity Fridays episode, Kyle and Joe are joined from Mexico by freelance journalist (who has been featured here several times) and writer of Your Psilocybin Mushroom Companion, Michelle Janikian. They first get into an email from a listener in Costa Rica highlighting a problem Michelle has seen in Mexico (and that mirrors last week's discussion about ayahuasca gatherings): expats' disregard for Covid safety protocols showing an egotistical disrespect for the communities that have welcomed them. The episode then shifts to a bit of a callback to the early days of solidarity, with fewer philosophical ponderings and a whole lot of articles (just scroll down to view the wall of links). From ketamine reducing suicidality (and is ketamine a cure-all silver bullet or just an overhyped respite?) to a Rick Strassman-backed study of DMT for stroke patients, to a college in Jamaica opening a Field-Trip backed psilocybin lab, to Vermont and New Jersey's progress on decriminalization bills, to a discussion on if drug laws violate human rights, to extremely mainstream Vogue and Rolling Stone both reporting on psychedelics, this episode has it all. And yes, it does also include anti-government and drug war rants from Joe, so it's truly a complete episode.  And if you forgot, the next round of Navigating Psychedelics for Clinicians and Therapists goes live on 3/11, the new, cheaper, student-focused version of Navigating Psychedelics starts on March 2nd, and our giveaway to win 2 Sasha Shulgin books ends today, so smash that link to win!  Notable Quotes “If we are at home working with psychedelics because we can’t do group work, I think it’s still really important to be talking about it with other like-minded folks, because when we don’t have any community and we just are using psychedelics, it can get a little delusional. ...We can still take psychedelics, but we have to live in reality.” -Michelle  “Everybody’s saying psychedelic integration is important [and it] makes me roll my eyes. Like, yea, true, but how many times do we have to say it? I guess ‘until everyone’s doing it’ is the answer.” -Joe “A lot of my anxiety and depression stems from an existential, spiritual root, and a lot of my experiences with breathwork or psychedelics in the past would get me there and provide that deep level of insight of: ‘I have a choice here.’ And it allowed me to change my relationship (or at least provide insight on how I could change my relationship to that), but then coming back to do the work was the challenge. Like, ‘Oh shit, I need to actually change this. And how do I do that?’” -Kyle “Ok, Federal government: what can you do to win my trust back? And I don’t know what the answer is, honestly. I don’t think I will, at large, ever really trust the US Federal government. I don’t really hold out hope that I’ll trust them again in my lifetime because they’ve shown to be a corrupt, gross, crony, capitalist system that does not care about human well-being.” -Joe (big shock) Links Michellejanikian.com Michelle's last appearance on Psychedelics Today This Week in Virology podcast Esperanzamazateca.com: Donate to help the people of Huautla de Jimenez Newatlas.com: Regular oral doses of ketamine significantly reduce suicidal thoughts Notion.so: Contemplating the complexities of being in relationship with substances Proactiveinvestors.com: Algernon targeting psychedelic drug DMT for stroke program Iflscience.com: Psychedelic Drug DMT To Be Trialed On Stroke Victims Playboy.com: Can Microdosing Make You a Better Athlete?
