Heute spreche ich mit Prof. Elke Holinski-Feder, einer der führenden Expertinnen für Humangenetik in Deutschland. Sie leitet das Medizinisch-Genetische Zentrum in München, ist Professorin an der LMU und Präsidentin des Berufsverbandes Humangenetik. Gemeinsam tauchen wir in ein spannendes Thema ein: Wie stark beeinflussen unsere Gene tatsächlich unsere gesunde Langlebigkeit – und was können wir selbst durch Ernährung, Bewegung, Schlaf und Stressmanagement steuern? Wir sprechen über monogenetische und polygenetische Analysen, über Chancen und Grenzen der Früherkennung und warum Wissen über genetische Risiken unser Leben entscheidend verändern kann. In dieser Folge sprechen wir u.a. über folgende Themen: - Wie viel Prozent unserer gesunden Langlebigkeit werden durch Gene bestimmt – und wie viel durch Lebensstilfaktoren?- Welche genetischen Risiken lassen sich durch monogenetische Analysen zuverlässig erkennen? - Warum ist die Kenntnis der eigenen genetischen Risiken entscheidend für Prävention und Früherkennung? - Welche Rolle spielt die Gauss-Verteilung bei der Bewertung genetischer Risiken? - Inwiefern können polygenetische Analysen das Risiko für Volkskrankheiten wie Brustkrebs, Diabetes oder Herz-Kreislauf-Erkrankungen vorhersagen? - Welche Bedeutung haben pharmakogenetische Analysen für die Wirksamkeit und Verträglichkeit von Medikamenten? - Können genetische Analysen tatsächlich die Früherkennung von Tumorerkrankungen wie Darm- oder Brustkrebs verbessern? - Wie aussagekräftig sind heute bereits Polygen-Risikoscores für Erkrankungen wie Osteoporose oder Demenz? - Warum reicht bei bestimmten genetischen Hochrisiken ein gesunder Lebensstil allein nicht mehr aus? - Welche Chancen bietet das Carrier Screening für Paare, die Kinder planen? - Welche Grenzen setzt das deutsche Gendiagnostikgesetz bei genetischen Analysen und wie schützt es Patient:innen?

Kelly Reeves is in her second season as an assistant coach with UCLA Beach Volleyball, returning to Westwood where she made history as a Bruin. As a player, she helped UCLA win the 2011 NCAA Indoor Championship and became the program's first beach All-American in 2013.Her coaching journey has taken her through the club, collegiate, and national ranks—including guiding LMU to its best-ever NCAA finish and being recognized on the AVCA “Thirty Under 30” list. Now back at her alma mater, Kelly brings championship experience, a passion for player development, and a unique perspective as both a decorated player and rising coach in the beach volleyball world.

Matt and Steven look at the exciting new trailer for PMR, the VERY cute trailer for iRacing Arcade and what's likely to come from LMU in September.

Philipp Baaske hat aus seinem Promotionsthema eine weltweit erfolgreiche Firma gemacht: NanoTemper bietet innovative Maschinen für die Pharmaindustrie an, eines von vielen Beispielen eines erfolgreichen Transfers aus der Hochschullandschaft in die Privatwirtschaft. Das deutsche Bildungssystem hat Philipp diese Chance eröffnet - und es ist für ihn selbstverständlich, der Gesellschaft nun auch wieder etwas von diesem Erfolg zurückzugeben. Ab Oktober wird er die Entrepreneurship-Initiative der Ludwig-Maximilian-Universität (LMU) in München leiten und kehrt zurück an die Wurzeln seines Erfolgs. Die Skalierung von Forschungsergebnissen in der freien Wirtschaft funktioniert in Europa und Deutschland deutlich anders als in den USA - soviel ist sicher. Doch muss es immer der gleiche Ansatz sein, mit Milliardenbewertungen und viel Venture Capital im Rücken? Philipp meint nein - auch der gesellschaftliche Nutzen und ethische Fragen sind für ihn wichtig. In seiner Rolle will er erst einmal eines machen: zuhören und hinschauen - und die Studentinnen und Studenten zum Unternehmertum ermutigen.

African American males are confronted with formidable barriers in their pursuit of quality education, resulting in stark disparities in academic performance, economic opportunities, and social outcomes. Despite numerous educational initiatives striving for parity, African American males persistently bear the brunt of the highest rates of suspensions, expulsions, and dropout rates, surpassing all other demographic groups. Educational environments often fail to acknowledge and integrate the cultural and social needs of Black males, viewing them as "problems" rather than recognizing their immense potential for academic and leadership success. The prevalence of negative stereotypes in media, particularly in video games, exacerbates societal biases, portraying African American males as inherently violent and criminal. These representations contribute to implicit biases that affect perceptions and treatment in real-life scenarios. The systemic issues within the education system, coupled with socioeconomic factors, result in African American males being underrepresented in advanced placement and gifted education programs. This underrepresentation limits their opportunities for higher education and professional advancement.  Confronting these challenges necessitates a comprehensive approach that encompasses the creation of inclusive educational environments, the eradication of systemic racism, and the promotion of positive representations of African American males in media. By acknowledging and fostering the potential of Black males, society can strive to reduce disparities and cultivate a more equitable and just education system that recognizes and celebrates their academic and professional achievements. African American Males and Video Gamesexplores the perspectives of four African American male college students aged 18 to 21 on the impact of video games on their academic growth and development. The participants, all maintaining a GPA of 3.0 or higher, shared their experiences with teachers, video games, and coping mechanisms. This qualitative approach allowed for a rich understanding of the participant's experiences and the role of video games in their academic and mental well-being. Video games emerged as a significant coping tool for the participants, providing a mental escape from academic and social pressures. The games allowed them to engage in competitive and creative activities, fostering a sense of accomplishment and reducing stress. For example, games like NBA 2K21 and Forza Horizon 4 enabled them to explore alter egos and interests in a virtual space, offering entertainment and a sense of community. African American Males and Video Gamesis a critical text for exploring alternatives in providing a quality education experience for young African American males. Rudolf Thomas Inderst (*1978) enjoys video games since 1985. He received a master's degree in political science, American cultural studies as well as contemporary and recent history from Ludwig-Maximilians-University, Munich and holds two PhDs in game studies (LMU & University of Passau). Currently, he's teaching as a professor for game design and game studies at the HNU University of Applied Sciences Neu-Ulm, Germany, has submitted his third dissertation at the University of Vechta, holds the position as lead editor at the online journal Titel kulturmagazin for the game section, hosts the German local radio show Replay Value and is editor of the weekly game research newsletter DiGRA D-A-CH Game Studies Watchlist.

Grant Us Eyes is a book-length close reading of Bloodborne by literary critic Nathan Wainstein (LA Review of Books, Cartridge Lit, American Book Review). Grant Us Eyes situates the game's oft-discussed difficulty in relation to a much longer tradition of difficult art – surrealist painting, the modernist novel, etc. Wainstein probes the difficulty of Bloodborne's fragmented narrative, the difficulty of its graphical and aural glitches, the difficulty of the philosophical problems it poses, and the difficulty of performing close analysis itself within a medium that still doesn't have established, agreed-upon methods of interpretation in the way literature and film do.

Marc spricht mit Cornelia Finster, Senior Associate bei Redeker Sellner Dahs in München, über ihren Weg von der ländlichen Heimat ins Jurastudium an der LMU, ihr Orientierungsjahr als wissenschaftliche Mitarbeiterin und die Faszination für das private Bau- und Architektenrecht, das sie seitdem nicht mehr loslässt. Die beiden beleuchten, wie Cornelia nach Stationen in Bonn und München ein ganzes Baurechtsteam an einem neuen Standort mitaufgebaut hat, warum Zeit auf der Baustelle wirklich Geld bedeutet, welche Kettenreaktionen entstehen, wenn der Rohbau stockt, und weshalb gut durchdachte Vertragsklauseln oder Schiedsvereinbarungen oft wichtiger sind als ein langwieriger Prozess. Außerdem erklärt Cornelia, wie sie sich mit YouTube-Videos zu Tunnelbohrern oder Spundwänden technisches Grundwissen aneignet und wie Teamgeist bei komplexen Infrastrukturprojekten den Unterschied macht. Wie vermittelt man zwischen Bauherr, Architekt und Fachplaner, wenn Stillstand droht? Weshalb kann ein kurzer Abstecher in eine andere Kanzlei der Karriere die entscheidende Richtung geben?

The World is Born From Zero is an investigation into the relationship between video games and science fiction through the philosophy of speculation. Cameron Kunzelman (Mercer University, Macon, Georgia, USA) argues that the video game medium is centered on the evaluation and production of possible futures by following video game studies, media philosophy, and science fiction studies to their furthest reaches. Claiming that the best way to understand games is through rigorous formal analysis of their aesthetic strategies and the cultural context those strategies emerge from, Kunzelman investigates a diverse array of games like The Last of Us, VA-11 Hall-A, and Civilization VI in order to explore what science fiction video games can tell us about their genres, their ways of speculating, and how the medium of the video game does (or does not) direct us down experiential pathways that are both oppressive and liberatory. Taking a multidisciplinary look at these games, The World is Born From Zero offers a unique theorization of science fiction games that provides both science fiction studies and video game studies with new tools for thinking how this medium and mode inform each other. Rudolf Thomas Inderst (*1978) enjoys video games since 1985. He received a master's degree in political science, American cultural studies as well as contemporary and recent history from Ludwig-Maximilians-University, Munich and holds two PhDs in game studies (LMU & University of Passau). Currently, he's teaching as a professor for game design and game studies at the HNU University of Applied Sciences Neu-Ulm, Germany, has submitted his third dissertation at the University of Vechta, holds the position as lead editor at the online journal Titel kulturmagazin for the game section, hosts the German local radio show Replay Value and is editor of the weekly game research newsletter DiGRA D-A-CH Game Studies Watchlist.

It's a beautiful day in the village, and you are a horrible goose, ready to wreak charming havoc on the weary locals. You'll ruin their gardens, invade their pub, and terrorize their children. What kind of scoundrels would make such a devious game? Before the critical acclaim, the tweets from celebrities, the major awards, the memes, the fan art, and the legion of players, Untitled Goose Game was just the goofy dream of House House, four friends in Melbourne, Australia. What began with a photo of a goose and the joking caption "Let's make a game about this" transformed into one of the wittiest and most stylish games of its generation. Through interviews with the creators and their co-conspirators, journalist and developer James O'Connor tells the story of how this indie megahit came to be, revealing how the team succeeded by evolving their friendship into an art practice, contributing to the wider Australian game development scene, trusting their own good taste, and never, ever naming their game. James O'Connor has been writing about games for most of his adult life. His work has been featured on IGN, GameSpot, Edge, and beloved Australian magazine institutions Hyper and PC PowerPlay. He has also worked as an academic, teacher, game developer, and in a handful of other roles around games. Rudolf Thomas Inderst (*1978) enjoys video games since 1985. He received a master's degree in political science, American cultural studies as well as contemporary and recent history from Ludwig-Maximilians-University, Munich and holds two PhDs in game studies (LMU & University of Passau).

Ultima and World-Building in the Computer Role-Playing Game (Amherst College Press, 2024) is the first scholarly book to focus exclusively on the long-running Ultima series of computer role-playing games (RPG) and to assess its lasting impact on the RPG genre and video game industry. Through archival and popular media sources, examinations of fan communities, and the game itself, this book historicizes the games and their authors. By attending to the salient moments and sites of game creation throughout the series' storied past, authors Carly A. Kocurek and Matthew Thomas Payne detail the creative choices and structural forces that brought Ultima's celebrated brand of role-playing to fruition. This book first considers the contributions of series founder and lead designer, Richard Garriott, examining how his fame and notoriety as a pioneering computer game auteur shaped Ultima's reception and paved the way for the evolution of the series. Next, the authors retrace the steps that Garriott took in fusing analog, tabletop role-playing with his self-taught lessons in computer programming. Close textual analyses of Ultima I outline how its gameplay elements offered a foundational framework for subsequent innovations in design and storytelling. Moving beyond the game itself, the authors assess how marketing materials and physical collectibles amplified its immersive hold and how the series' legions of fans have preserved the series. Game designers, long-time gamers, and fans will enjoy digging into the games' production history and mechanics while media studies and game scholars will find Ultima and World-Building in the Computer Role-Playing Game a useful extension of inquiry into authorship, media history, and the role of fantasy in computer game design. Carly A. Kocurek is professor of digital humanities and media studies at the Illinois Institute of Technology. She is the author of Coin-Operated Americans: Rebooting Boyhood at the Video Game Arcade (Minnesota, 2015) and Brenda Laurel: Pioneering Games for Girls (Bloomsbury, 2017).Matthew Thomas Payne is associate professor of ?lm, television, and theatre at the University of Notre Dame. He is the author of Playing War: Military Video Games after 9/11 (NYU Press, 2016), and is a co-editor of How to Play Video Games (NYU Press, 2019) and Joystick Soldiers: The Politics of Play in Military Video Games (Routledge, 2009).

How players evoke personal and subjective meanings through a new theory of player response.  In The Well-Read Game: On Playing Thoughtfully (MIT Press, 2025), Tracy Fullerton and Matthew Farber explore the experiences we have when we play games: not the outcomes of play or the aesthetics of formal game structures but the ephemeral and emotional experiences of being in play. These are the private stories we tell ourselves as we play, the questions we ask, and our reactions to the game's intent. These experiences are called “readings” because they involve so many of the aspects of engaging with literary, cinematic, and other expressive texts. A game that is experienced in such a way can be called “well-read,” rather than, or as well as, “well-played,” because of the personal, interpretive nature of that experience and the way in which it relates to our reading of texts of all kinds. The concept of the “well-read game” exists at the convergence of literary, media, and play theories—specifically, the works of Louise Rosenblatt's reader-response theory, Brian Upton's situational game theory, Tracy Fullerton's playcentric design theory, and Bernie DeKoven's well-played game philosophy. Each of these theories, from their own perspective, challenges notions of a separate, objective, or authorial meaning in a text and underscores the richness that arises from the varied responses of readers, who coauthor the meaning of each text through their active engagement with it. When taken together, these theories point to a richer understanding of what a game is and how we might better value our experiences with games to become more thoughtful readers of their essential meanings.

How players evoke personal and subjective meanings through a new theory of player response.  In The Well-Read Game: On Playing Thoughtfully (MIT Press, 2025), Tracy Fullerton and Matthew Farber explore the experiences we have when we play games: not the outcomes of play or the aesthetics of formal game structures but the ephemeral and emotional experiences of being in play. These are the private stories we tell ourselves as we play, the questions we ask, and our reactions to the game's intent. These experiences are called “readings” because they involve so many of the aspects of engaging with literary, cinematic, and other expressive texts. A game that is experienced in such a way can be called “well-read,” rather than, or as well as, “well-played,” because of the personal, interpretive nature of that experience and the way in which it relates to our reading of texts of all kinds.

Game streamers and live commentators are producing increasingly comprehensive analyses of gameplay, yet scholarship still tends to flatten the experiential media of video games into text for close reading. By shifting focus toward the immersiveness of video games, Playthrough Poetics: Gameplay as Research Method (Amherst, 2024) makes the case for gameplay as a necessary, alternate method. Contributors to this volume engage widely with the activity of play through autoethnographies, meta-analyses of self-broadcasting, new procedural methods like gamespace soundwalking, as well as the affective aspects of games research.  In doing so, they model new possibilities for academic players and gamers alike. Rigorous scholarship meets cultural practice in this innovative, multi-modal edited collection that includes video essays and offers transcripts of the playthroughs themselves. Readers (and viewers) will come away with a toolkit of models, case studies, and conceptual frameworks for analyzing video games through gameplay. This volume is a fresh return to the joy of play: the poetics of games as contemporary forms of storytelling and interactivity. With contributions from Ashlee Bird, Brandon Blackburn, Milena Droumeva, Kishonna Gray, Robyn Hope, Ben Scholl, Maria Sommers, Ashlyn Sparrow, Christine Tran, and Aaron Trammell.

The Collegiate Beach Volleyball season just surpassed the midway point and we're seeing shifts from 2-5 without a lot of big changes in the rest of the AVCA top 20. A lot of the top teams were idle in week 5, but the ones that weren't saw solid action at the Big West Challenge in San Luis Obispo, CA and East Meets West in Austin,TX.   Although teams may have split their duals this last weekend, without a doubt the teams are developing in a beneficial way as we move closer to conference tournaments. The athlete panel chats about then No. 10 Texas' upset of then-No. 2 LMU, and the quality of each their flights. In addition, we discuss the dynamism of Cal Poly and how interchangeable their entire lineup is.   From there we discuss the top teams we've seen this last weekend and even drop the names of top performers!

In this episode of SANDCAST U, host Madison Fitzpatrick chats all things NCAA Beach Volleyball, focusing mainly on UCLA's annual East Meets West tournament, which took place last weekend at the Manhattan Beach Pier. UCLA reigned supreme, finishing 4-0, as did LMU, while both Texas and Florida State logged huge wins over Cal. Fitzpatrick chats all that, and much more! SHOOTS! *** WE'VE GOT NEW MERCH!

The Dedeaux Download podcast, part of the Peristyle Podcast family of shows, returns after a lengthy hiatus as the college baseball season approaches. Shotgun Spratling and Jack Smith are back to break down the latest news and developments around the USC baseball program, including the continued rebuild of Dedeaux Field and the move to the Big Ten Conference, which means the Trojan road warriors will be playing even farther from home this season. The podcasting duo look at the different angles of a second season on the road and the move to the Big Ten Conference, where the Trojans have been picked anywhere from fourth to 11th in an unofficial poll of other Big Ten coaches. They also look at what USC needs to do to get over the hump to make a regional after being oh so close in each of the first two seasons under head coach Andy Stankiewicz. Shotgun and Jack also take a look back to the 2024 season to assess what went well, where the Trojans are set up for success in 2025 and where they'll have to make improvements with a roster that saw a lot of turnover. USC head coach Andy Stankiewicz then joins the Dedeaux Download to talk about another season of unique challenges for the Trojans, but one that should come with a little more familiarity than last season when there were adjustments routinely being made on the fly as USC played at Great Park in Orange County and LMU's Page Stadium. Stankiewicz talks about how the program has to keep progressing forward rather than taking a step back, no matter what challenges they face. He also discusses building a non-conference schedule, the challenges the Big Ten move will present and the hire of experienced pitching coach Sean Allen, who will give the Trojans a little more familiarity when they enter Big Ten play and have to travel east to Michigan, Indiana, Penn State and Minnesota.
