    Send us a textWhat if you could understand the science behind why your teenager seems impossible, why habits are so hard to break, or why menopause affects your thinking? Dr. Sarah Mackay, an Oxford-trained neuroscientist and founder of the Neuroscience Academy, joins us to demystify the complex world of the brain with warmth, wit, and scientific precision.This conversation upends common misconceptions about brain development while offering practical insights for everyday life. Dr. Mackay takes us on a journey through neuroplasticity—the brain's remarkable ability to change throughout life—explaining how this process underpins everything from habit formation to teenage rebellion. She shares evidence-based strategies for behavior change that work with your brain's natural tendencies rather than against them, like "habit stacking" to make new behaviors stick.We explore fascinating research on sex differences in the brain, revealing how both biology and social factors shape cognitive development across cultures. Dr. Mackay offers a refreshingly balanced perspective on "brain fog" during menopause, acknowledging the complex interplay between hormones, sleep, stress, and societal expectations. Perhaps most valuably, she emphasizes the profound importance of social connection for cognitive health, suggesting that meaningful relationships might matter more than trendy biohacks or optimization techniques.Throughout our discussion, Dr. Mackay's compassionate approach to aging and body image resonates deeply. Her insight that "there are no mirrors in nature" provides a powerful reframing of how we view ourselves as we age. Whether you're navigating parenthood, midlife transitions, or simply curious about how your mind works, this episode offers both scientific substance and genuine wisdom about embracing the brain's natural evolution through all life stages.Dr. Sarah McKay links:IG: @drsarahmckayX: @drsarahmmckaywebsite: https://drsarahmckay.comTweet me @realdrhamrahIG @drhamrah

    It's not controversial to say that we are living in times of deep division, where there are so many forces keeping us apart, politics being a big part of that.  But did you know that there's a link between how satisfied you think you are with your life, how much you trust others, and how you vote? It's a mind-blowing, less-discussed topic, despite being a chapter in the latest World Happiness Report. Importantly, to make a difference, we wonder this - how do we actually build trust with people who hold different viewpoints, especially if our first impulse is to block them, disregard their comments, or ignore them entirely? We're so glad today to have one of the co-authors of the World Happiness Report here to talk with us about how we can use our understanding of wellbeing and trust to build stronger communities, reconnect with each other, and also bridge the politics of division.    What to listen for: What the World Happiness Report is Despite our focus on class struggle or traditional ideologies as the explanation for why people vote a certain way, it's actually more about life satisfaction and trust.  The wallet study The truth - that unhappy people are attracted by the extremes of the political spectrum. Low-trust people are found more often on the far right, whereas high-trust people are more inclined to vote for the far left. How we can rebuild trust in community, one meal at a time About our guest:  Jan-Emmanuel De Neve is Professor of Economics and Behavioural Science at the University of Oxford, where he also directs the Wellbeing Research Centre. He is best known for his research on the economics of wellbeing which has led to new insights into the relationship between happiness and income, productivity, firm performance, and economic growth. His pioneering research is published in the leading academic journals across multiple disciplines, including Science, Nature, The Review of Economics and Statistics, Psychological Science,world we Management Science, Journal of Political Economy, and the British Medical Journal. His research was recognized among "The Management Ideas That Mattered Most" by Harvard Business Review and he currently guides the world's largest study on workplace wellbeing in partnership with Indeed. De Neve co-authored the main textbook on wellbeing science with Richard Layard, is an editor of the World Happiness Report, and co-founder of the World Wellbeing Movement. Additionally, he serves as a member of the UN Expert Group on Wellbeing Measurement. De Neve frequently consults for governments and major corporations, and his insights on wellbeing and policy are sought by leading global media. Two of his books include Wellbeing: Science and Policy, and Why Workplace Wellbeing Matters.

    I greet you in Jesus' precious name! It is Monday morning, the 28th of July, 2025, and this is your friend, Angus Buchan, with a thought for today. We start in the first book of the Bible, Genesis 32:6:”Then the messengers returned to Jacob, saying, “We came to your brother Esau, and he also is coming to meet you…” Remember, Jacob and Esau fell out because Jacob robbed Esau of his inheritance. There was a tremendous amount of hatred involved. In fact Esau swore that he was going to kill his brother, Jacob. Then we go straight to 1 John 4:20. The Lord says:”If someone says, “I love God,” and hates his brother, he is a liar; for he who does not love his brother whom he has seen, how can he love God whom he has not seen?” A very stern word for you and me today from the Lord. The Lord basically says, 'Settle your differences.' Do not carry that grudge. Sort it out! We have to, for God's sake, and I'm not swearing either, I mean it. How can we expect the Lord Jesus Christ to forgive us when we can't forgive our brother? When you do forgive then all of a sudden there's a peace that comes over your heart isn't there? You can sleep better at night, can't you? You know the word “restitution”? I looked it up in the Oxford dictionary, it means to restore, to pay for injury or loss that has been suffered. We need to deal with our differences.If you're a runner, you will understand what I'm going to say. When you are running a race, maybe 20, 30, 40 kilometres and there is a stone, a small stone, in your running shoe. Stop, take that shoe off, get rid of that little stone and then carry on running. If you don't, you won't finish the race. That little stone will cause a huge blister and you'll end up not being able to complete your race. I'm talking about small things.I remember, a man came to see me. He had come to one of the early Mighty Men Conferences and what he had done was, he wanted to take a memento back to his home. So he went into our maize field and picked a nice big mealie cob. It was dry by then, and he took it home as a reminder. You know that he was convicted by the Holy Spirit, and about twenty years later, he came to see me and he brought this old, old mealie and he said, ”I want to bring this back.” I laughed, but you know something? He was quite at peace after that.We had a young man that we were looking after here. We used to look after young men from overseas, and he had came from another country. He stole my Leatherman. I didn't even know it, I thought I'd lost it, and ten years later, he came back to see me on the farm and he brought that knife back. He said, ”I stole your knife. I am so sorry.”Today, settle your differences, and you'll be surprised how the Lord Jesus will bless you. God bless you and goodbye.

    Stefan Collini, FBA.Professor Emeritus of Intellectual History and English Literature, University of Cambridge.The Donald Winch Lectures in Intellectual History.University of St Andrews.11th, 12th & 13th October 2022.In the course of the nineteenth and twentieth centuries, universities expanded to include a wide range of what came to be regarded as academic ‘disciplines'. In Britain, the study of ‘English literature' was eventually to become one of the biggest and most popular of these subjects, yet it was in some ways an awkward fit: not obviously susceptible to the ‘scientific' treatment considered the hallmark of a scholarly discipline, it aroused a kind of existential commitment in many of those who taught and studied it. These lectures explore some of the ways in which these tensions worked themselves out in the last two hundred years, drawing on a wide range of sources to understand the aspirations invested in the subject, the resistance that it constantly encountered, and the distinctive forms of enquiry that came to define it. In so doing, they raise larger questions about the changing character of universities, the peculiar cultural standing of ‘literature', and the conflicting social expectations that societies have entertained towards higher education and specialized scholarship.Handout - Lecture 2: Careers1. ‘His tastes and pursuits would no doubt lead him to lecture on the Structure of the English Language and its affinities with cognate tongues, rather than upon Rhetoric or the Art of Composition, but when it was mentioned to him that the latter formed part of the duties of the chair, he made no difficulty about undertaking it.'2. ‘We think that the Professor of the English Language and Literature at our College ought, if it were possible, to unite all the qualifications which we think desirable, to be a thoroughly educated man, a man whose peculiar learning is based upon the sound scholarship which is the general training of English gentlemen. He ought to have made a systematic study of the English Language and English Literature: a systematic study of the Language, so as to be thoroughly conversant with its etymological structure, and the history of its formation through its successive stages; a systematic study of the Literature, so that his familiar knowledge of it may not be confined within the limits of one or two periods. He ought to have experience as a Lecturer, and to be able to lecture well: but he ought to be prepared not only to lecture, but to teach. We must bear in mind, and our Professor must bear in mind, that the practical end of our English Class is to teach our students to use their own language well both in speaking and writing.'3. ‘All the world is standing, every chatterer in every newspaper thinks he is good enough for English language and literature.'4. ‘The lecture list of Easter Term was considered. It was agreed that the Reader in Phonetics should be asked either to change the subject of his lecture on Ugrian Phonetics or to remove it from the list, as in the opinion of the Board the subject did not fall within the scope of the school.'5. ‘The main point, of course, was to choose a scholar and not a chatterer; now the chatterers have command of the newspapers and the scholars have not. That's all. I have no doubt that to any maker of paragraphs, Matthew, Ealdorman of babblers, seems a greater man than William of Chester'.6. ‘In those early years everyone, whatever her natural bias, read for the English School at Oxford, because that was the only course for which adequate preparation could at that time be secured.'7. ‘Well, I have no hesitation in de-classing the whole professorial squad - Bradley, Herford, Dowden, Walter Raleigh, Elton, Saintsbury'... [Saintsbury is allowed to have some strengths, though in spite of his style rather than because of it] ...For the rest: Professor Walter Raleigh is improving. Professor Elton has never fallen to the depths of sterile and pretentious banality which are the natural and customary level of the remaining three.' This is a public episode.

Professor Bartov shares his insight.Omer Bartov Bio: Born in Israel and educated at Tel Aviv University and St. Antony's College, Oxford, Omer Bartov's early research concerned the Nazi indoctrination of the Wehrmacht and the crimes it committed in World War II, analyzed in his books, The Eastern Front, 1941-1945, and Hitler's Army. He then turned to the links between total war and genocide, discussed in his books Murder in Our Midst, Mirrors of Destruction, and Germany's War and the Holocaust. Bartov's interest in representation also led to his study, The "Jew" in Cinema, which examines the recycling of antisemitic stereotypes in film. His more recent work has focused on interethnic relations in the borderlands of Eastern Europe. Recent publications include Erased: Vanishing Traces of Jewish Galicia in Present-Day Ukraine (2007), Anatomy of a Genocide: The Life and Death of a Town Called Buczacz (2018), winner of the National Jewish Book Award, and Tales from the Borderlands: Making and Unmaking the Galician Past (2022). His many edited volumes include Shatterzone of Empires: Coexistence and Violence in the German, Habsburg, Russian, and Ottoman Borderlands (2013), Voices on War and Genocide: Three Accounts of the World Wars in a Galician Town (2020), and Israel-Palestine: Lands and Peoples (2021). Bartov's novel, The Butterfly and the Axe, will be published in 2023.

    On this episode of Unsupervised Learning Razib talks to philosopher of science Nathan Cofnas, whose specialty is biology and ethics. An American, Cofnas is currently a Leverhulme Early Career Fellow in the Faculty of Philosophy at the University of Cambridge. He earned his Bachelor of Arts in Philosophy from Columbia University, and his doctorate in philosophy at the University of Oxford. His Substack is here. First, they discuss Kevin MacDonald's theory of Judaism as a group evolutionary strategy, which is outlined in his three-book series, A People That Shall Dwell Alone: Judaism as a Group Evolutionary Strategy, Separation and Its Discontents: Toward an Evolutionary Theory of Anti-Semitism and The Culture of Critique: An Evolutionary Analysis of Jewish Involvement in Twentieth-Century Intellectual and Political Movements. Cofnas reviews his own critiques of MacDonald's theory, and the reception they received professionally and from MacDonald's large cohort of online fans. He also discusses the impossibility in obtaining a hearing for MacDonald's response to Cofnas' arguments in academia given anxieties today about so much as “platforming” offensive ideas. Razib brings up the evolutionary biological aspects of MacDonald's theory, and why there are reasons to be skeptical due to the unrealistic parameters of mathematical models required by MacDonald's theories. They then turn to attempts to cancel Cofnas over his hereditarian views. Cofnas articulates his perspective that actually a woke-Left egalitarian perspective is probably the most rational position if you utterly reject hereditarianism, especially as regards group differences. Cofnas believes conservative arguments about the importance of culture in shaping outcomes have run their course. Finally, Razib presses Cofnas on the actual career prospects for a heterodox academic in the 21st century, and possible alternate routes to become a public intellectual.

    Imagine stepping into court expecting justice… and instead walking into a death sentence. On this day in Tudor history, 25th July 1577, Queen Elizabeth I's top lawyer, Nicholas Barham, died in Oxford—not by blade or betrayal, but from a silent, invisible killer: gaol fever. Within weeks, over 500 people were dead, including judges, jurors, sheriffs, and townspeople. In this podcast, I, Claire Ridgway, historian and author, uncover: - Who Nicholas Barham was and his rise to power - How gaol fever (epidemic typhus) spread and killed - What other "Black Assizes" followed - Why even the powerful weren't safe from Tudor disease This story isn't just about one man—it's about the dangers of Tudor life, the limits of medical knowledge, and the shocking realities of a justice system where one infected prisoner could doom a whole court.

    What can the world's first written civilization teach us about astrology, medicine, and our connection to the cosmos? In this fascinating episode, I sit down with Dr. Moudhy Al-Rashid, honorary fellow at the University of Oxford's Wolfson College and leading expert on the languages and history of ancient Mesopotamia.“Ancient Mesopotamians didn't separate the sky from the body, the ritual from the remedy. Everything was interconnected—cosmic events, human health, divine will, and the rhythms of life.” — Dr. Moudhy Al-RashidWe dive deep into the origins of astrology, astro-medical wisdom, and the human impulse to make meaning from the stars—long before telescopes or modern science existed. Dr. Al-Rashid brings to life a world where lunar eclipses determined royal fates, temples doubled as centers of knowledge and healing, and the earliest connections between the zodiac, the body, and medicine were recorded in clay.You'll learn:✅ Why Mesopotamia is called the "cradle of civilization" and why its legacy matters today✅ The cosmic worldview of the Sumerians, Babylonians, and Assyrians✅ How astrology evolved from a divinatory tool into the modern zodiac system✅ The role of temples as energetic, communal, and administrative hubs✅ The powerful presence of goddesses like Ishtar—and why the world's first named author was a woman✅ What astro-medical texts reveal about ancient healing practices (and what we can learn from them today)✅ How this wisdom offers us a holistic approach in an age dominated by technologyThis episode is a reflection on how ancient ways of knowing can help us find balance in a fragmented world. As Dr. Al-Rashid shares, “Life is collective. Our well-being is tied to the well-being of those around us.”Connect with Dr. Moudhy Al-Rashid:Book: Between Two Rivers: Ancient Mesopotamia and the Birth of HistoryInstagram & BlueSky: @moudhyIf this conversation speaks to you, please share it and tag us @Gateways_To_Awakening.

    The Tragic Martyrdom of John Boste - They wouldn't even let him speak. On this day in Tudor history, 24th July 1594, Catholic priest John Boste stood on the scaffold in Durham, condemned for treason simply for doing his job — ministering in secret during Elizabeth I's reign. When guards silenced his final words, Boste prayed Psalm 116 in Latin instead. And then came the most brutal punishment of all — he was hanged, drawn, and quartered. I take you through Boste's story — from gifted Oxford scholar to hunted man of God, betrayed, tortured by Topcliffe himself, and executed for his faith. Whether you view him as a traitor or a saint, John Boste's courage, conviction, and dignity in the face of unimaginable suffering demand to be remembered.

    I love aging and also… I get botox. I love my laugh lines (obviously, we named our podcast after them) but I also want to age gracefully. I want to feel like the best version of myself as I get older and sometimes… that means I get a little help from someone with a laser and a medical degree. In this episode of Laugh Lines, we're pulling back the curtain on cosmetic procedures with my very own dermatologist (and not a paid spokesperson!), the amazing Dr. Sue Ellen Cox. Too many people whisper about this stuff when it should be okay to talk about it!In the show, we discuss botox, lasers, fillers, necks, jowls, and even something called “pre-juvenation.” Dr. Cox is a legend in the field—like "clinical trials for the FDA" kind of legend. This episode is for anyone who's botox-curious, laser-curious, or simply wondering what all this stuff actually does. No gatekeeping here—we're being honest about what we've tried and what questions to ask. Be sure to stay tuned for the Oxford comma justice and Gen Z slang confusion this week. Apparently “he cooked” doesn't mean he made dinner, according to our son. (PC even makes an appearance at the end of the show!)
