Join the Doctor Podcast Network today!—---------Dr. John Schnieder and Professor Dan Ariely continue their analysis of healthcare and decision-making in the second part of their conversation, expanding on the points discussed earlier. They delve deeper into how doctors experience "moral injuries" when forced to make choices that conflict with what they know is best for their patients, often due to systemic rules and pressures. This can result in stress, frustration, and burnout.Professor Ariely explains how uncertainty and lack of control in healthcare—like unclear rules or too many forms—can harm trust and make it harder for everyone to do their best. They also talk about how giving people too many choices, like making parents decide on tough medical treatments, can cause unnecessary stress and regret.They also discussed the need to improve healthcare by prioritizing long-term patient care, reducing unnecessary burdens on doctors, and building systems that foster trust, mental health, and teamwork.BioDan Ariely is an Israeli-American professor and behavioral economist known for exploring irrational decision-making. A traumatic accident in his youth, which left him with severe burns, shaped his interest in human behavior. He earned degrees in philosophy, psychology, and business administration, including a Ph.D. from Duke University, where he is now the James B. Duke Professor of Psychology and Behavioral Economics. Ariely founded the Center for Advanced Hindsight, focusing on topics like money psychology, healthcare decisions, and ethics.He is a best-selling author of books such as Predictably Irrational and The Honest Truth About Dishonesty, which challenge traditional economic theories. Ariely has co-founded companies, including BEworks and Lemonade, applying behavioral insights to practical challenges. His work has garnered numerous accolades, including the Ig Nobel Prize in Medicine. Despite controversies, Ariely remains a leading voice in behavioral science, inspiring research, business innovations, and media projects like NBC's The Irrational. Website:Behavioral science | Behavioral economics | Center for advanced hindsightLinkedIn:https://www.linkedin.com/in/danariely?trk=contact-infoInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/danariely?igsh=YzljYTk1ODg3Zg==  Dr. John Schnieder bio:https://www.physiciansguidetodoctoring.com/drschneider Did you know…You can also be a guest on our show ?

Join the Doctor Podcast Network today!—-----In this episode, Professor Dan Ariely is interviewed by Dr John Schneider about the complexities of medicine, bureaucracy, and healthcare experiences. Professor Ariely discusses how rigid bureaucratic systems often disconnect from the core mission of patient care, leading to stress, reduced autonomy, and burnout among physicians. He also spoke about the "scarcity mindset," where limited resources like time and energy force rigid approaches, overwhelming both doctors and patients.He highlighted the importance of trust in healthcare. When physicians feel undervalued, it fosters frustration and burnout. Similarly, patients losing trust in providers may turn to alternative treatments that are less effective or harmful.To improve, Professor Ariely suggests collaboration between administrators and physicians to balance efficiency with compassion. By valuing expertise and fostering trust, healthcare systems can restore patients' confidence and make physicians' work more rewarding. BioDan Ariely is an Israeli-American professor and behavioral economist known for exploring irrational decision-making.

Send us a textIn this episode of the Formula for Creating Value podcast, I'm joined by two leading figures in cognitive science, Dr. Daniel Simons and Dr. Christopher Chabris, co-authors of the book Nobody's Fool. Together, we explore the fascinating ways our minds can betray us and make us susceptible to deception. Known for their groundbreaking work on inattentional blindness—especially their famous "invisible gorilla" experiment—Dan and Chris have spent their careers studying the limits of human perception and awareness, uncovering how easily we overlook the obvious.We start by discussing their 2004 Ig Nobel Prize-winning research, which humorously exposes the surprising gaps in our attention. Their insights reveal that we often overestimate our ability to notice what's right in front of us, a concept that has profound implications, from understanding why we miss key details to recognizing the hidden risks we face in daily life. This sets the stage for a broader conversation about our cognitive blind spots and how scammers and other deceivers use simple psychological triggers to exploit these vulnerabilities.We also dive into the cultural and psychological aspects of deception, exploring why we're drawn to stories of clever trickery in movies like "The Sting", "Catch Me If You Can" and "Ocean's 11". Dan and Chris reflect on how recognizing common scam tactics can actually improve our ability to spot them in real life. They emphasize that cautious—and not just critical—thinking is a powerful tool for protecting ourselves from the pitfalls of our own mental shortcuts.As we wrap up, we touch on a formula for creating value by learning how to protect it. Dan and Chris share practical advice on recognizing deceptive patterns and making more informed decisions to avoid costly mistakes. They leave us with valuable insights from Nobody's Fool, showing how we can outsmart the tricks our own minds might play on us.(02:18) The Ig Nobel Prize and the Invisible Gorilla Experiment (06:02) Cultural Perspectives on Deception: East vs. West (15:15) Strategies to Protect Ourselves from Scams and Deception (19:26) The Effectiveness of Political Ads: Do Banners and Flags Work?

The Ig Nobel Prizes recognize research efforts that make you laugh...and then think. They celebrate the unusual and honor the imaginative. They are, in my mind, a delightful and very deliberate celebration of curiosity. Ig Nobel Prize founder and editor of the magazine Annals of Improbable Research Marc Abrahams joins me to talk about the origins and contributions of this quirky prize. The awards gala is a mix of circus, opera and real Nobel Laureates, orchestrated to cheer on people who have devoted their time and talent to studying things the rest of us...have not...

Stockholm has the Nobel Prize, given out to scientists and global leaders who make major contributions to humankind. Boston has the Ig Nobel Prize, as in ignoble, honoring research that makes people laugh, and then makes them think. Among the winners this year is Aussie Dr Saul Newman. His research found that the secret to longevity in the so called Blue Zones of Okinawa Japan and Sardinia Italy isn't in their diets or lifestyle, it's in dodgy record keeping. We'll talk about the truth about Blue Zones and the party atmosphere at the annual Ig Nobel Prize awards.

This episode delves into the complexities of nutrition headlines and media coverage. We begin by dissecting a sensational diet study headline, revealing the principles behind its seemingly remarkable claims, and comparing them with EC's Lazy Macros®. The discussion transitions into a critique of the validity of Blue Zone data for human longevity, spurred by insights from an Ig Nobel Prize winner. Finally, we examine the marketing and nutritional profile of the heavily hyped David protein bar, scrutinizing its claims of perfection in the protein realm.

- The Thang learns that we can breathe through our butt...?

We'd love to hear from you! Send us a text message.In this episode of "Discover Daily," we begin with the 2024 Ig Nobel Prizes, celebrating unconventional scientific achievements that make people laugh, then think. From researchers discovering mammals can breathe through their anuses to a team flipping coins over 350,000 times to study probability, these quirky studies often reveal deeper scientific truths. Next, we investigate a new paper detailing a massive landslide in Greenland's remote Dickson Fjord that triggered an extraordinary mega-tsunami in September 2023. The colossal event, caused by the collapse of a 1.2km-high mountain peak weakened by a thinning glacier, generated seismic waves detected around the globe for nine consecutive days. An international team of scientists unraveled the mystery behind this unprecedented phenomenon, highlighting the increasing geological hazards posed by climate change in polar regions.Finally, we delve into the AI technique called chain-of-thought prompting, which helps the way language models solve complex problems by mimicking human reasoning. Developed by researchers at Google, this method enables AI to break down tasks into intermediate steps, leading to more accurate and interpretable results. As major tech companies like OpenAI and IBM explore applications of chain-of-thought prompting, we discuss its potential to significantly enhance the performance of AI-powered tools and services across various industries.From Perplexity's Discover Feed:https://www.perplexity.ai/page/the-ig-nobel-prize-2024-XYbMjt0CSlSwXlbpk14B.Qhttps://www.perplexity.ai/page/greenland-s-9-day-tsunami-LVTP1nWZRDOn3fpy_yBRAwhttps://www.perplexity.ai/page/ai-s-chain-of-thought-explaine-uvCWFvjKTrK8Y1b94WjaWgPerplexity is the fastest and most powerful way to search the web.

Join me this morning as I welcome author, columnist and Ig Nobel Prize founder Marc Abrahams! Marc Abrahams writes about research that makes people LAUGH, then THINK. In 1991 he founded the Ig Nobel Prize Ceremony, (a parody of the Nobel prize) and serves as Master of Ceremonies. The prizes are handed out by Nobel laureates in a gala event held every year at Harvard University. Marc co-founded and edits the magazine Annals of Improbable Research (AIR), and has written several books, including This is Improbable. He also edits and writes much of the website and blog at www.improbable.com. Marc has a degree in applied mathematics from Harvard College, spent several years developing optical character recognition computer systems (including a reading machine for the blind) at Kurzweil Computer Products, and later founded Wisdom Simulators, which used computers to give people experience in making excruciating decisions. Marc is the subject of a Harvard Business School case study called "Marc Abrahams: Annals of an Improbable Entrepreneur." Marc is married to psychologist Robin Abrahams, who writes the "Miss Conduct" advice column for the Boston Globe Magazine.

We've all heard of The Nobel Peace prize and the Nobel Literature prize, Science, and Medicine prizes. Well, this episode has absolutely nothing to do with any of that! But! If you come up with an idea that is an unusual or trivial or a bizarre achievement in scientific research, well then…we have an award for you. It's called the Ig Nobel Prize, and anyone can win it, if their idea makes you laugh…and then… makes you think! Really, no really! The Prize was created by today's guest, Marc Abrahams who has awarded it annually since 1991. And the awards are handed out annually by genuine Nobel laureates, as they honor and celebrate the unusual, the creative and the imaginative… while also spurring people's interest in science, medicine, and technology. So be prepared to learn about woodpeckers and concussions, an unusual childbirth device and the importance of fish farts. That's right… fish farts! IN THIS EPISODE: The unbelievable way Marc first became editor of a scientific magazine. Amusing inventors & scientists doing obscure, yet noble things should be honored. Right? The scientists who defied a Prime Minister and proved the impending submarine invasion was not happening. Meet the guy who studied whether gonorrhea could be transmitted by sex dolls. Colonoscopy researchers won the Ig Nobel twice and performed a live on-stage demonstration you won't believe. The Blonsky centrifugal birthing device will defy your understanding of natural childbirth. Why don't woodpeckers get concussions and how that applies to football. Your foot size to genitalia size ratio is… real? Jason has some “genius ideas” he thinks should win an Ig Nobel. The small but notable list of inventors who were killed by their inventions.

Researchers have identified seven lifestyle factors that are most correlated with depression. We review them on this show! And did you know that the official state 'mineral' in Kentucky (coal) is actually a 'rock', and the official state 'rock' (agate) is actually a 'mineral'? Hear about the move in the KY Legislature to fix this geological error. Finally, hear about the 2023 Ig Nobel Prize ceremony which humorously celebrates out-of-the-ordinary research. ‘Bench Talk: The Week in Science' is a weekly program that airs on WFMP Louisville FORward Radio 106.5 FM (forwardradio.org) every Monday at 7:30 pm, Tuesday at 11:30 am, and Wednesday at 7:30 am.

Saluting Science's Silly Side, VirtuallyIn science, there are some traditions: Every October, the Nobel Prize committee announces the winners of that year's awards, which are presented in Sweden in December. And every September for the past 33 years, a different committee has awarded the Ig Nobel Prizes in Cambridge, Massachusetts. And every year, on the day after Thanksgiving, Science Friday plays highlights from the awards ceremony. The Ig Nobel awards are a salute to achievements that, in the words of the organizers, “make people laugh, then think.” They are presented by the editors of the science humor magazine Annals of Improbable Research to 10 lucky(?) winners for unusual achievements in science, medicine, and other fields. This year's ceremony was held virtually, with a webcast taking the place of the traditional raucous ceremony in Harvard's Sanders Theater. However, it still contained many elements of the in-person Igs, from flying paper airplanes to the participation of real Nobel Laureates in the ceremony. This year's awards included prizes for explaining why many scientists like to lick rocks,  for re-animating dead spiders to use as mechanical gripping tools, and for using cadavers to explore whether there is an equal number of hairs in each of a person's two nostrils. SciFri producer Charles Bergquist joins Ira to discuss highlights from this year's ceremony.Stop Flushing Your Health Data Down The ToiletYou could be flushing important information about your health right down the toilet—quite literally. Pee and poop can tell you a lot about your health, so what if your waste…didn't go to waste? What if, instead, it could tell you more about your health? Like number one, it can catch a condition like diabetes early. Or number two, check out what's going on in your gut microbiome.That's the goal of the smart toilet—a device that gets all up in your business to tell you more about your health. Ira talks with the inventor of the PH Smart Toilet, Dr. Seung-min Park, instructor of urology at Stanford's School of Medicine in California, about how the toilet works, how it can be used to catch diseases early on, and the ethical implications of such a device.To stay updated on all things science, sign up for Science Friday's newsletters. Transcripts for each segment will be available after the show airs on sciencefriday.com.

In our third episode about the silly Ig Nobel prizes, we learn about music playing in a place you wouldn't expect, a clawed machine for changing diapers, and whether or not you'll feel more pain if you're looking at ugly art.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

As another physician shortage looms, M2s Jeff and Olivia and M1 Fallon look at the reasons–the market forces, political issues, and the missing incentives. There is some good news–a shortage of physicians means that residents get a ton of solicitations for post-training jobs. Elon Musk's Neuralink might be bad for monkeys, but the FDA has cleared the way for human trials to begin. What place do techbros–who have a rep for “moving fast and breaking things”– have in medicine where lives are at stake? And Dave gives a pop quiz on this year's Ig Nobel Prize winners--listen to learn more about the latest technology in excretion analysis!
