Peter Robbins joins us again, and this time we will get in depth to this latest book, Deliberate Deception: A Case of Disinformation in the UFO Research Community. Now, since this was published, Peter has discovered that he was lied to by his co-author. He withdrew his argument and apologized. I'm still re-posting this with that caveat. Peter showed himself to be an honest researcher and person by acknowledging his mistake. I feel most would have just hid it.You can download the book here. Hosted on Acast.

Two stories this week, both involving horses. In the first, a recent study of unearthed bones in Britan reveals that horses were much smaller in medieval times than they are today. Then, the world of polo is dominated by horses that have been cloned. Is that ethical? Jeff and Anthony discuss both stories to get a bit more info about the evolving ecology of earth's most rideable animal.

Take a few minutes to reflect on someone who inspires you, and how you can embody the values you admire in them.How To Do This Practice: Arrive and Settle: Find a quiet place to sit or stand. Gently close your eyes or soften your gaze. Take a few slow, steady breaths, allowing your body to relax and the noise of the day to quiet. Call to Mind Someone Who Inspires You: Think of a person whose character deeply moves you—someone whose courage, kindness, integrity, or compassion stands out. Let one specific moment come to mind when they embodied those qualities. Replay the Moment: Picture what they did as clearly as you can. What action did they take? What values were they expressing? Stay with the details of that moment and what made it meaningful. Notice How It Lands in Your Body: As you hold this image, turn your attention inward. What do you feel physically? Warmth, openness, a softening, maybe even emotion rising—just observe without judgment. Name What Matters to You: Reflect on why this moment resonates so deeply. What value or sense of purpose does it point to—justice, care, truth, courage, love? Let yourself name what feels most true for you. Ask yourself: What's one small way I can live this value today? It might be in how you speak to someone, how you show up in your work, or how you care for yourself or others. Carry this intention with you as you move forward.

For years, nature recordist Lang Elliott came up with clever ways to hear high-pitched bird songs despite his high-frequency hearing loss. Lang teamed up with a programmer to develop an app called Hear Birds Again. Currently it's only available for iPhones, but it's able to take high-pitch bird songs and shift them down into a lower range. More info and transcript at BirdNote.org. Want more BirdNote?

View This Week's Show NotesStart Your 7-Day Trial to Mobility CoachJoin Our Free Weekly Newsletter: The AmbushIn this episode, David Epstein explores a powerful idea: constraints don't limit us – they make us better.Drawing from his book Inside the Box, he explains why too much freedom often leads to overwhelm, indecision, and worse outcomes. Whether it's creativity, productivity, or everyday decisions, we perform better when we narrow the field and work within clear boundaries.Through stories – from failed tech startups with too many ideas to elite performers who thrive under restrictions – he shows how constraints help us prioritize, think differently, and follow through. Even creativity, he argues, doesn't come from endless freedom, but from being boxed in just enough to spark better solutions.If you've ever felt stuck, scattered, or overloaded with choices, this episode offers a simple reframe: you don't need more options – just better constraints.What You'll Learn in This EpisodeHow constraints improve creativity, focus, and performanceWhy too much choice leads to overwhelm and worse decisionsWhy creativity thrives with fewer optionsHow distractions are training your brain to lose focusWhy doing less often leads to better resultsKey Highlights: (0:00) Intro – Constraints, Overwhelm, and Why This Matters(3:37) Meet David Epstein(6:19) From Range to Constraints(8:18) The Dizziness of Freedom(12:05) The Creativity Myth(14:04) The Green Eggs and Ham Effect(16:32) Constraints-Led Approach Skill Learning(19:38) Futsal & Constraints in Sport(21:16) The General Magic Story(32:53) HARKing in Science(51:51) Think Slow, Act Fast(55:57) Creativity vs. Originality(1:00:26) Constraints in Parenting(1:10:19) Commitment Devices(1:16:06) Make Your Commitments Visible(1:16:52) Reclaiming Your Attention(1:21:49) Book Recommendation & ClosingHuge thanks to our sponsors, LMNT, Momentous, Vitality, and Kreatures of Habit

Tom opens this week's livestream with several announcements:-There will be no webinar next Wednesday; Tom will return in two weeks.-Cowan's Community Corner, also known as C3, is expected to launch soon as an online community space for members to connect, share ideas, and potentially form local in-person groups.-C3 will be included at no extra charge for all New Biology Clinic members, including individual, family, pet, and enrichment memberships.-Tom will be speaking at the Homesteading Life Conference with Doug and Stacy, May 15–16 in Vandalia, Missouri.Homesteading Life Conference with Doug and Stacy link here.-Registration remains open for the New Biology Experience at Polyface Farm in June. Tom shares his excitement about the music, dancing, lectures, food, and connection planned for the event.New Biology Experience link here.Highlights from this session include:-Tom opens with “science news,” commenting on articles about time moving backward in quantum systems, simulated vacuum decay, and a “new state of matter” allegedly inside Uranus.-A discussion on diabetic lower-leg and foot ulcers, reframing them as stagnation and poor metabolic flow rather than “infection,” with comments on debridement, movement, metabolic restoration, and chlorine dioxide compresses.-A broad reflection on MTHFR testing, genetic explanations, cancer metabolism, mitochondria, and skin lesions, arguing that these reductionist models often distract from the whole person and lived reality.-Tom discusses cancer as possibly being better understood as the body's adaptive response to toxicity, rather than simply a genetic or metabolic disease.-A response to the question “was contagion ever real?” where Tom distinguishes between people influencing one another and the idea of contagious disease.-A critique of a reported “gene therapy” case involving restored hearing, emphasizing the importance of asking what was actually done rather than accepting the explanatory story.-Brief comments on eating offal, antibiotics, sterilizing surgical equipment, and chlorinating pools.Tom closes by reminding viewers there will be no webinar next week and to watch for the launch of Cowan's Community Corner.Support the showWebsites:https://drtomcowan.com/https://www.drcowansgarden.com/https://newbiologyclinic.com/https://newbiologycurriculum.com/Instagram: @TalkinTurkeywithTomFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/DrTomCowan/Bitchute: https://www.bitchute.com/channel/CivTSuEjw6Qp/YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCzxdc2o0Q_XZIPwo07XCrNg
The parent company of the satirical publication The Onion has a deal to take control of Infowars, the conspiracist media machine built by Alex Jones for the past 26 years. It is a proposed six-month licensing arrangement, pending approval from a Texas judge, with an option to renew. That is expected to be approved this Thursday, April 30th. Travis and Jake speak to former NBC News reporter and The Onion CEO Ben Collins about the deal, the new creative vision for Infowars, what it means to Sandy Hook parents who were victimized by Jones, and comedian Tim Heidecker's role as creative director for the venture. Before that, Julian joins us to unpack theories related to Cole Tomas Allen, the Torrance man who was charged with attempting to assassinate the president after attempting to storm the White House Correspondents' Association dinner.

We are living in a world that is more digitally connected than ever, yet there are millions of people who are struggling with loneliness. Whether it's your marriage, friendships, or work, that lack of deep connection can quietly affect your overall health and happiness. Today, I'm joined by my friend Michael Trainer, who has a new book out called Resonance: The Art and Science of Human Connection. Michael is one of the most fascinating people I've ever met, and his work is centered around helping people create deeper, more aligned relationships in every area of life. From co-creating the Global Citizen Festival, which has helped raise over $40 billion to defeat extreme poverty, to studying human connection across cultures and the neuroscience behind it, Michael brings a unique blend of real-world experience and science-based insights. In our conversation, we discussed the loneliness epidemic and why so many people feel disconnected despite having greater access to communication than ever before. Michael shares what it means to create "resonance" in your relationships, how the people you surround yourself with directly influence your emotional and physical well-being, and practical ways to become someone who attracts and builds powerful, life-giving connections. We also explore how to identify the relationships that energize you versus the ones that drain you, and how taking intentional actions can completely transform the quality of your relationships and your life.

On April 12th, 1961, Yuri Gagarin became the first human in space. Sixty-five years later, we celebrated that milestone at Griffith Observatory in Los Angeles, CA. We began on the lawn of Griffith Observatory, where host Sarah Al-Ahmed spoke with exhibitors about the tools, dreams, and technology that drive space exploration. Laura Tomlin, CEO of Space for Teachers, shares how microgravity research projects inspire the next generation. Robotics engineer Kalind Carpenter from NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL) walks us through the machines he’s helping to build to explore the moon and beyond. Software engineer David Hernandez from Blue Origin describes the work happening at Club for the Future to get young people excited about space. Research scientist Robert Green from JPL talks about the invention of imaging spectroscopy and how it’s used to unlock the secrets of distant worlds. And aerospace engineer Andy Sadhwani, who flew to space aboard Virgin Galactic, reflects on seeing Earth from above and what the Artemis II astronauts experienced. We then move inside for Yuri's Night's evening stage show, where the focus shifts to human experience and the overview effect. Cinematographer and polar explorer Jannicke Mikkelsen, Norway's first astronaut, shares her experience as part of the first crew to orbit over both Earth's north and south poles. Space philosopher Frank White, author of "The Overview Effect," leads a panel discussion with actress Nadine Nicole from The Expanse and commercial space explorer Christopher Huie about what happens to humans when we see Earth from space. Finally, NASA astronaut Ron Garan brings it all together with a powerful vision of our planet's fragility, our interconnectedness, and humanity's potential when we work together. The episode closes with Bruce Betts' What's Up segment, revealing a little-known story about what went wrong during Yuri Gagarin's historic first flight.

Knowing how clever parrots are, researchers wanted to see how they'd respond to another parrot saying hi on a tablet or phone. After being trained how to start a call, many parrots chatted amiably on calls and stayed on for the maximum amount of time. Some birds even seemed to develop friendships, choosing to stay in touch even after the experiment ended.

Biomechanist Katy Bowman speaks with gerontologist and author Dr. Kerry Burnight about her concept of joyspan—a missing piece in how we think about aging well.We often hear about lifespan (how long we live) and healthspan (how long we stay physically well), but what about the quality of those years? Dr. Burnight introduces joyspan as our capacity to experience a meaningful, fulfilling life as we age. In this framework, joy is not simple happiness, but a deeper sense of wellbeing that can coexist with challenge, grief, and change.Katy and Dr. Burnight explore the Joyspan Matrix—Give, Connect, Adapt, and Grow—and how these actions enable us to thrive as we age. Rather than viewing aging as inevitable decline they discuss aging as development, the positives of aging and how to step into eldership.Katy also speaks with our sponsor, Sohail Shariff of Movemate, creators of a unique dynamic wooden standing board that provides continuous, wave-like movement in the body while you are working at your desk or at home.They discuss how the board supports musculoskeletal health, while also improving focus, creativity, and calm—reducing fatigue and the mental boredom and stagnation that comes from prolonged stillness. They also explore the role of play in the design, and how a serious problem—sedentary behavior—can be addressed in a way that is engaging, enjoyable, and even joyful.Enhanced Show Notes and Full Transcript00:00 – Lifespan, Healthspan… and Joyspan01:20 – Dynamic Collective Sponsors02:30 – Dr Kerry Burnight Explains Joyspan: The Science of Thriving As You Age09:40 – The Joyspan Matrix: Grow, Connect, Adapt, Give19:30 – Giving, Purpose & Becoming an Elder (Rethinking Aging)42:00 – Meet Movemate: A Dynamic Standing Board for Work and Play46:00 – How Movemate Works: Movement, Feeling & Physical Benefits49:15 – Cognitive & Emotional Effects of the Movemate Board54:00 – Play & Solving Sedentary Behavior With Enjoyable Movement Tools1:05:20 – Listener question: resolving amenorrhea, sponsored by Ikaria Design Books, Links and Resources:Joyspan: The Art and Science of Thriving in Life's Second Half – Dr Kerry Burnight About Dr Kerry Burnight (gerontologist, author of Joyspan) Dr Kerry Burnight on InstagramMovemate – Dynamic Active Standing Board for Work & Play Movemate on InstagramConnect, Move & Learn:Join Our Newsletter: Movement Colored GlassesFollow Katy on SubstackTry Katy's Virtual Studio Free for 7 days!Made Possible By Our Wonderful Sponsors:.Peluva: Five-toe minimalist shoes that move like you do—take 10% off with code NUTRITIOUSMOVEMENTMovemate: Active standing boards with smoothly articulating wooden slats.

This week we discuss kids, robots, and sports.
Caroline Van Hemert is a wildlife biologist, writer, and researcher whose work moves between science, story, and the lived experience of wild places. She's based in Alaska, where she's spent years studying migratory birds and the shifting ecosystems they move through, paying close attention to how climate change is reshaping patterns that have existed for generations. She's also the author of “The Sun Is a Compass,” a memoir that traces a 4,000-mile journey she and her husband made from Washington State to Arctic Alaska under their own power—by boat, ski, canoe, and foot. Across her work, whether in the field or on the page, she's asking a version of the same question: how do we find our way through a changing world, and what can the natural world teach us about movement, attention, and belonging? Caroline's writing merges the personal with the scientific, a perspective shaped by her early research into beak deformities in black-capped chickadees. That work led to a broader focus on wildlife health, studying everything from parasites in polar bears to harmful algal blooms and their effects on seabirds — and how disease, toxicants, and environmental stress ripple across entire ecosystems. Because a change to one species is never isolated, it's a community-level shift. For a long time, that work felt heavy, like serving as a gatekeeper at the morgue, documenting decline. But more recently her focus has begun to shift. In her new book, tentatively titled “Upwellings,” she looks for moments of surprise, places where the natural world resists the expected ending. Because she believes that by recognizing what's possible in the wild can reshape what feels possible within us. It's a shift that also reflects a deeper question about science itself: whether data alone can still move people, or whether it requires a more engaged, more human voice.
This week the Supreme Court heard oral arguments in a case that centers on Monsanto and Bayer's weedkiller Roundup—and its active ingredient glyphosate. Maureen Groppe, Supreme Court correspondent for USA Today, and Lianne Sheppard, Rohm and Haas endowed professor of public health at the University of Washington, explain the legal questions and the science, respectively.

Milkweed plants are important to Monarch butterflies, which depend on milkweed to raise their caterpillars. But Monarchs aren't the only ones who benefit from milkweed. Scientists once documented hundreds of insect species they found eating some part of the common milkweed plant – including 132 species of beetles alone. When it's part of a diverse community of plants, milkweed helps many species find food and shelter, including birds. More info and transcript at BirdNote.org. Want more BirdNote?

At our core, we're not just wired for sex—we're wired for deep connection with another human being. In this episode, we're joined by Dr. Justin Garcia, leading sex researcher, evolutionary biologist, and Executive Director of the Kinsey Institute, who shares the science behind why humans are driven to bond, love, and seek intimacy. We explore how modern dating both supports and disrupts our natural instinct to pair bond, what choices like staying single or exploring nontraditional relationships mean in that context, and why even when connection feels hard to find it's still fundamentally what we're built for.To learn more about Dr. Justin Garcia follow him @drjustingarcia and go to https://kinseyinstitute.org/.

Elon Musk is widely regarded as the benchmark of elite human performance. From a neuroscience perspective, he is something else entirely: by his own self-documentation across interviews and social media, he has become the most thoroughly traceable case of elite cognitive deterioration ever observed in real time. The same biology eroding his decision-making carries categorically different, and far more dangerous, consequences for a specific hormonal architecture, with a 15 year delay on the damage. In this solo episode, I conduct a forensic neuroscience breakdown of what chronic, extreme output actually does to the brain. I examine why the 100 hour workweek punishes rather than rewards the prefrontal cortex, how the glymphatic system clears neurotoxic byproducts like amyloid beta only during deep sleep, and what chronic cortisol does to the hippocampus, including measurable volumetric reduction visible on MRI. I walk through the 2025 Framingham Heart Study showing that elevated midlife cortisol predicted increased amyloid deposition 15 years later, but only in postmenopausal women, then break down the biomarker blueprint for sustained cognition (morning cortisol, HRV, fasting insulin), the three inputs that build a real cortisol buffer, and the first principles operating system that lets Musk run six companies without the context switching cost that would break most executives.

What if I told you that the key to feeling calm, clear, intuitive… and even magnetic was all in your HEART? In this episode of Big Conversations, I sit down with Dr. Deborah Rozman, behavioral psychologist, author, and CEO of HeartMath Institute, which is a pioneering research organization studying the connection between the heart, brain, and nervous system. We dive into the science behind heart coherence, which is a measurable state where your heart rhythms can shift from chaotic and jagged into smooth, flowing patterns. This directly impacts your emotional state, intuition, health, and even your ability to manifest. Guided by Dr. Rozman's wisdom and research, you'll learn how your emotions are literally creating physiological patterns in your body, why stress keeps you stuck in reactive cycles, and how you can shift your entire internal state in under a minute. We also talk about: What your heart rate variability (HRV) actually means (and why you shouldn't panic about the number, LOL mine is def on the lower end!!!) The real relationship between your heart, brain, and intuition Why your emotional state assists manifestation How your heart's electromagnetic field influences not only your body...but the people around you!! (THE REAL MEANING OF A VIBE!) A simple, science-backed technique to regulate your nervous system on the spot in sixty seconds This conversation is where spirituality meets physiology - where "vibes" become measurable, and where inner peace becomes a skill you can actually train. I've been applying the goodies from this episode since we recorded the conversation and it's AMAZING how much it helps!

If you have ever wondered why you are holding water despite doing everything right, this episode is for you. I dive into the complex physiological mechanisms behind water retention, moving beyond the simple vanity aspect to explore its real impact on health. By understanding these root causes, you can stop second-guessing your plan, avoid the "screw it" effect, and manage those normal fluctuations with an objective, informed perspective. Topics discussed: - The health implications of water retention- The three main hormones controlling water balance- The role of stress and high cortisol - The Minnesota Starvation Experiment- The impact of poor sleep and circadian rhythm- Sodium and potassium imbalances- The relationship between carbohydrate intake, glycogen storage, and water weight---------- My Live Program for Coaches: The Functional Nutrition and Metabolism Specialization www.metabolismschool.com---------- [Free] Metabolism School 101: The Video Serieshttp://www.metabolismschool.com/metabolism-101----------Subscribe to My Youtube Channel: https://youtube.com/@sammillerscience?si=s1jcR6Im4GDHbw_1----------Grab a Copy of My New Book - Metabolism Made Simple---------- Stay Connected: Instagram: @sammillerscienceYoutube: SamMillerScience Facebook: The Nutrition Coaching Collaborative CommunityTikTok: @sammillerscience----------“This Podcast is for general informational purposes only and does not constitute the practice of medicine, nursing or other professional health care services, including the giving of medical advice, and no doctor/patient relationship is formed.

During the first weeks of the war in Iran, most analysis focused on the immediate energy shock it triggered. But Jason Bordoff, founding director of the Center on Global Energy Policy and Columbia Energy Exchange host, and Meghan O'Sullivan, director of the Belfer Center for Science and International Affairs at Harvard University's Kennedy School, got together to think about the longer-term implications of the conflict. Earlier this month, Foreign Affairs published the result of that work, an article titled "The Iran Shock, And the Dangerous Allure of Energy Autarky." Last week, Jason sat down with Robin Pomeroy, host of the World Economic Forum podcast, Radio Davos, to talk about the article and the global and likely lasting impacts of the current energy shock. Today, we're pleased to bring you their conversation originally published by Radio Davos. (Unfortunately, Meghan fell ill and was unable to join the podcast.) Robin and Jason discussed how the largest oil supply disruption that the world has ever seen is impacting energy security in the near term, but also how it's likely to change the future of the energy industry. Our thanks to Robin and the World Economic Forum for collaborating on this episode.
On this episode of the Live Greatly podcast, Kristel Bauer sits down with behavioral scientist and author Leidy Klotz to explore how your environment shapes your mindset, relationships, and ability to perform at your best. Drawing from his new book, In a Good Place, Leidy shares how the spaces we live and work in can either support or limit our growth, connection, and sense of purpose—often in ways we don't consciously recognize. Kristel and Leidy dive into how small shifts in your surroundings can create meaningful changes in your habits, confidence, and overall well-being. They also explore how your perspective and choices within different environments can influence how you show up in your work and life. If you're looking to elevate your energy, strengthen your relationships, and create conditions that support sustainable high performance, this conversation offers a powerful new lens. Key Takeaways: How your physical environment influences your mindset and behavior Why certain spaces spark connection—and others shut it down How navigating new environments can enhance learning and growth Ways to adjust your surroundings to support confidence and clarity The connection between space, perspective, and long-term success ABOUT LEIDY KLOTZ Leidy Klotz is a behavioral scientist and engineering professor at the University of Virginia who studies how and why humans design.

Emily McDonald holds two degrees in neuroscience and has become one of the fastest-growing science communicators on social media. In this conversation, we explore how the brain constructs reality from the inside out — not as a passive receiver of the world, but as a constant prediction machine shaped by memory, belief, emotion, and past experience. From color vision to the kitten experiment, Emily brings the science to life in a way that makes you ask: where am I the kitten in my own life?What I love about this conversation is that it doesn't stop at the intellectual. Emily shares how understanding neuroplasticity moved her from skeptic to someone who radically rewired her relationship with identity, money, and what it means to pursue something with passion. We get into the difference between harmonious and obsessive passion, how identity sets a ceiling on what we're willing to receive, and why processing time — the unstructured silence we've largely lost — may be one of the most important things we can reclaim.Oneskin - Use code KNOWTHYSELF for 15% offhttp://oneskin.co/KNOWTHYSELFLimited time only!BiOptimizers - Best magnesium to enhance your sleephttps://www.bioptimizers.com/knowthyselfUse code KNOWTHYSELF for 15% off at checkoutAndré's Book Recs: https://www.knowthyselfpodcast.com/book-list___________00:00 Intro02:14 How the Brain Constructs Reality13:50 Rewiring Beliefs Around Abundance20:12 The Brain as a Prediction Machine21:35 The Default Mode Network and Self-Concept24:15 Science and Spirituality as Complementary Lenses27:09 Ad: One Skin30:19 Identity Beyond the Thinking Mind41:44 Ad: BiOptimizers42:52 Identity as the Set Point of Your Life45:39 The Neuroscience of Habit Change47:39 Desire, Fear, and the Energy Behind Goals1:07:03 Living from Feeling States, Not Outcomes1:13:58 Purpose Beyond the Self1:24:21 Nervous System Regulation as a Foundation1:27:52 Discipline as Self-Trust1:33:51 The Three M's Morning Routine1:39:05 Environment, Association, and Chemo Signals1:42:20 The Necessity of Processing Time___________Episode Resources: https://www.instagram.com/emonthebrain/https://www.instagram.com/planetempodcast/https://www.instagram.com/andreduqum/https://www.instagram.com/knowthyself/https://www.youtube.com/@knowthyselfpodcasthttps://www.knowthyselfpodcast.com
IDEAS, hosted by Nahlah Ayed is a weekday podcast that explores how ideas shape our world.“One of your tribe is enough.” That's what Margaret Rossiter was told when she said she wanted to study female scientists in the ‘70s. Nevertheless, Rossiter persisted. She found and documented hundreds of women whose contributions to science had been overlooked, under-credited and misappropriated. Then she made history herself by coining the term “The Matilda Effect” to describe why those women failed to get the credit they deserved. Who is Matilda? Matilda Joslyn Gage was a suffragist erased from history. She was known as being too radical for Susan B. Anthony. This episode of IDEAS shares her story.You can find more episodes of IDEAS wherever you get your podcasts, and here: https://link.mgln.ai/IDEASxQQ

View the Show Notes Page for This Episode Become a Member to Receive Exclusive Content Sign Up to Receive Peter's Weekly Newsletter In this episode, Peter explores one of the most foundational topics underlying nearly everything discussed on the podcast: how to think scientifically. Framed as an introspective deep dive, he examines why scientific thinking is inherently difficult for humans, the cognitive biases and tendencies that make it challenging to separate belief from evidence, and why these challenges are even more consequential in today's environment saturated with misinformation. He also offers a framework for improving our ability to evaluate claims, question assumptions, and identify a personal panel of experts, providing listeners with practical tools to become more disciplined and effective thinkers. We discuss: Topics to be covered and goals for this episode [2:00]; Scientific thinking: hypotheses, uncertainty, and the process of ruling out explanations [3:45]; How scientific knowledge differs from mathematical proof: useful approximations, evolving evidence, and acting under uncertainty [8:00]; Why scientific thinking is difficult: evolution, social instincts, and the need for deliberate practice [13:30]; Systems and tools designed to correct human bias [18:15]; How to think scientifically pt. 1: Notice when you're feeling certain [20:30]; How to think scientifically pt. 2: Judge the process, not just the conclusion [23:00]; How to think scientifically pt. 3: Notice when identity is shaping your beliefs [28:15]; How to think scientifically pt. 4: Don't confuse criticism with understanding [33:45]; How to think scientifically pt. 5: Outsource your thinking carefully [36:15]; Evaluating who to trust: incentives, consensus, and red flags in scientific credibility [45:15]; Science as a self-correcting system: why updating with evidence is a strength, not a weakness [49:00]; The key principles of scientific thinking, and a practical framework for evaluating claims and improving judgment [50:45]; and More.

How have I witnessed or experienced a marriage that is an antenna to God? What suffering in my life am I resisting? What are the discomforts and sufferings I have experienced today that I can thank God for? Discussion Questions: When are you tempted to be led by your feelings? When have you had to let go of resisting suffering in the past? Where in your life, marriage, or relationships do you feel stalled? How is God inviting you to prioritize Him over your marriage, relationships, and responsibilities? Quotes to Ponder: "It is Jesus that you seek when you dream of happiness; he is waiting for you when nothing else you find satisfies you; he is the beauty to which you are so attracted; it is he who provokes you with that thirst for fullness that will not let you settle for compromise; it is he who urges you to shed the masks of a false life; it is he who reads in your hearts your most genuine choices, the choices that others try to stifle. It is Jesus who stirs in you the desire to do something great with your lives, the will to follow an ideal, the refusal to allow yourselves to be grounded down by mediocrity, the courage to commit yourselves humbly and patiently to improving yourselves and society, making the world more human and more fraternal." (Pope John Paul II, World Youth Day, Rome, 2000) Scripture for Lectio: "Let love be genuine; hate what is evil, hold fast to what is good; love one another with mutual affection; outdo one another in showing honor. Do not lag in zeal, be ardent in spirit, serve the Lord. Rejoice in hope, be patient in suffering, persevere in prayer."

It's National Poetry Month in the U.S., and each year we like to celebrate by sharing our favorite contemporary writers' work about birds. Ornithologist and poet J. Drew Lanham often writes about racial justice, and his experience as a Black man in the outdoors — both the joy of being in nature and the racism he faces in the field. Sometimes that's led him to birding spots that others might pass by. In this episode, Drew shares a poem inspired by little brown sparrows thriving in overlooked places.

In spring, millions of songbirds — like the Orchard Oriole — migrate north across the Gulf of Mexico, from the Yucatan to the southeastern U.S. When birds encounter storms or headwinds, many may die. Why risk such an end, when they could migrate north along the length of Mexico? It's likely that many birds evolved to take the potentially perilous trans-Gulf route because it is direct and considerably faster, putting the birds on the best breeding territories more quickly. ¡Escuche este episodio en español!
