Like today's swans, the extinct species Annakacygna hajimei and Annakacygna yoshiiensis were quite large. But unlike their modern relatives, these birds lived most of their lives out at sea, and their fossils reveal remarkable adaptations to this unusual lifestyle. This led the researchers who first described these species to dub them “the ‘ultimate bird' that ever existed.”More info and transcript at BirdNote.org.Want more BirdNote?

Dopamine Method: 3 Steps to Find Your Passion (Science-Backed) October 27, 2025 | Episode 5211 Host: Scott Smith Episode Description Still collecting productivity frameworks that don't actually work? Smart goals. Atomic habits. All those little tactics sitting in your notebook while you're still off track. Here's the thing. They're too tactical. You need something that's wired into how your brain actually works. Three simple steps that change how you feel about your world starting today. Not next month. Today. Scott breaks down the science-backed approach that makes motivation stick. No frameworks to memorize. Just three strategic shifts that light you up from the inside. And what he discovered about your anticipation engine might surprise you. Featured Story Ever notice how excited you got about Christmas as a kid? Scott did too. Then he became an adult. Boring. Just work. One day he said screw that. Started putting concerts on the calendar. Ski trips. Anything that got him genuinely excited. And his whole life shifted. He realized something most people miss. When you schedule experiences that fire you up, your mood changes. Your motivation increases. You can handle anything at the office when you've got something coming up this weekend. Most people lacking motivation are just lacking hope. That puts them in doubt and fear. The trick? You need to know you're growing toward something. Important Points Why looking at the past to solve present problems keeps you stuck in the same patterns you're trying to escape. The anticipation engine discovery that makes kids excited about holidays works just as powerfully for adults who remember to use it. How connecting with 5-10 truly like-minded people creates more momentum than 5,000 Facebook friends ever will. Exploring future possibilities lights up your brain differently than trying to fix your current situation. Memorable Quotes "The present doesn't stick around. The only thing that guides you is the future." "If you're not exploring and looking forward, most people look at the past. That's not going to work for you." "We were not designed to do things alone, but make no mistake, we're also not designed to do things with 10,000 people." "Two or more people actively engaged in the pursuit of a definite purpose with a positive mental attitude constitute an unbeatable force." Scott's Three-Step Approach 1. Explore future possibilities instead of past solutions. Stop asking what worked 20 years ago and start asking where your interest guides you next. 2. Fire up your anticipation engine by scheduling one experience that genuinely excites you. Concert tickets. Weekend trip. New dress. Anything that makes you eager. 3. Connect with like-minded people in smaller groups of 5-10 who actually vibe with you naturally. No forcing it. No proving how smart you are.

How do brands really live in our minds? According to Ulli Applebaum, it's all about associations — the complex web of meanings and emotions that define how people see your brand. This week on On Brand, the international strategy veteran and author of The Science of Brand Associations shares how we can use science, not guesswork, to build brands that stick. What You'll Learn Why brand associations are the “operating system” that shapes every strong brand How science explains the way memories form—and how marketers can build stronger ones The difference between positive and negative associations (and how to fix the latter) Why distinctiveness and focus matter more than ever for new brands Simple, science-backed tools to audit and strengthen your brand's mental network Episode Chapters (00:00) Intro (01:20) Why no one has written about brand associations—until now (03:40) The brain science behind how brands live in memory (06:20) Brand associations as your brand's operating system (08:00) How associations drive purchase and brand preference (10:20) Managing negative brand associations (14:50) What small brands can do to stand out (23:50) The brand that's made Ulli smile recently Ulli Appelbaum is an internationally recognized brand strategist, consultant, and author with more than 25 years of experience shaping business-building strategies for some of the world's top brands. Before launching his consultancy First The Trousers Then The Shoes, he held senior strategy roles at agencies including BBDO Germany, Leo Burnett Chicago, Fallon Worldwide, and SapientNitro. Ulli's work has earned seven Effies and an ARF Ogilvy Award for Excellence in Research. His latest book, The Science of Brand Associations: Win Minds, Win Markets, is a first-of-its-kind guide to understanding and building the mental networks that make brands thrive. What Brand Has Made Ulli Smile Recently? Ulli chose KitKat — a brand he's admired for decades for its clever, humorous advertising and the enduring “Have a Break” positioning. He recalls a classic British TV spot where a photographer takes a break with a KitKat just as the panda he's waiting to capture starts ice-skating behind him. It's a moment that's stuck in his mind for 25 years — proof, he says, of how powerful brand associations can be. Resources & Links Connect with Ulli on LinkedIn.

2. The Science of Fire and Response Organization in Australia. This section addresses the science of what burns and the organization of fire response in Australia. The Australian landscape contains fire-adapted plants. Eucalyptus trees are highly flammable due to their oil content, burning quickly. Mountain Ash is the largest species of eucalyptus in the world. While many eucalypts regenerate after fire, Mountain Ash actually dies after a fierce blaze but releases a huge load of seed, requiring sun to regenerate. Naturally, Mountain Ash fires are notoriously fierce and occur only every two or three hundred years. Fires are caused by lightning, power lines, and arson. Although arson is frequent, the resulting fires are often less dangerous than those caused by lightning or electrical faults, as some arsonists light fires for attention. Regarding fuel, while some believe certain weeds like pittosporum might be fireproof, ultimately, everything burns under the right conditions. A well-watered pittosporum hedge, however, could protect a home from ember attack. H. G. Wells is quoted in the book, describing fire as a "gorilla" that is opportunistic with sparks flying. In terms of response, fire brigades originated with insurance companies in the late 19th century, focusing on protecting buildings in townships. Rural communities, left unprotected, established their own parallel volunteer bushfire brigades (the first being in Berrigan in 1901). Following the enormous 1939 fires in Victoria, the government began funding and organizing state bodies to support these brigades. 1885 SOUTH AUSTRALIA

I'm traveling this week, so I've got a reply of the second-most-downloaded Unchurched episode of all time! Enjoy!
Both this Eastern Towhee and the Spotted Towhee of the West sport a black or dark brown hood and back. And when they fly, their tails flash white. When a hawk gives chase, the towhee's flashing tail-feathers draw the predator's attention. Momentarily distracted, the hawk may come up with just a couple of tail feathers — as the towhee escapes into the underbrush. So if you see a towhee missing a couple of tail feathers, it may be that the flash of white — the distractive plumage — saved its life.More info and transcript at BirdNote.org.Want more BirdNote?

In this Season 14 review (episode 376) Andrea Samadi revisits highlights from her interview with Dr. John Ratey about the science of exercise, nutrition, and social connection for brain health and longevity. The episode explains Peter Attia's rule for foundational fitness, warns against sugar dependence and fat phobia, and presents the three biggest levers for healthy aging: exercise, diet, and social connection, plus practical tips to track and apply these habits. Takeaway: prioritize consistent movement, whole foods, and meaningful connection to boost mood, memory, and overall well-being. On today's episode #376, we review PART 2 of our 2021 interview with Dr. John Ratey and will learn: ✔ 3 Science-backed keys to brain health: Exercise, Nutrition and Connection ✔ What is Attia's Rule that allows us to dive deep into diet and nutrition? ✔ Practical Tips for improving consistent movement, our diet and social connection to boost overall well-being and brain health. Welcome back to SEASON 14 of The Neuroscience Meets Social and Emotional Learning Podcast, where we connect the science-based evidence behind social and emotional learning and emotional intelligence training for improved well-being, achievement, productivity and results—using what I saw as the missing link (since we weren't taught this when we were growing up in school), the application of practical neuroscience. I'm Andrea Samadi, and seven years ago, launched this podcast with a question I had never truly asked myself before: (and that is) If productivity and results matter to us—and they do now more than ever—how exactly are we using our brain to make them happen? Most of us were never taught how to apply neuroscience to improve productivity, results, or well-being. About a decade ago, I became fascinated by the mind-brain-results connection—and how science can be applied to our everyday lives. That's why I've made it my mission to bring you the world's top experts—so together, we can explore the intersection of science and social-emotional learning. We'll break down complex ideas and turn them into practical strategies we can use every day for predictable, science-backed results. Episode 376: PART 2 Featuring Dr. John Ratey For today's Episode 376, we continue with PART 2 of our review with Dr. John Ratey, covering the first health staple that we know is scientifically proven to boost our physical and mental health: exercise. We first met Dr. Ratey on Episode 116[i] (back in March 2021) on his book “The Revolutionary New Science of Exercise and the Brain.” Dr. Ratey is also an Associate Clinical Professor of Psychiatry at Harvard Medical School and an internationally recognized expert in Neuropsychiatry. Dr. Ratey has published over 60 peer-reviewed articles and 11 books in 17 languages. You'll notice that around the time of the pandemic, in 2020, our interviews took a turn towards health and wellness, and to stay on track, I created a framework of our Top 5 Health Staples on Episode 87[ii], which eventually evolved into our Top 6 Health Staples.
Every year, hundreds of international student athletes arrive in the U.S. chasing their basketball dreams — many on F-1 student visas. But for some their journey turns into exploitation. Basketball Trafficking: Stolen Black Panamanian Dreams (Duke University Press, 2025) uncovers how dreams are sold, manipulated, and in some cases stolen — especially for young Black athletes from the Global South. This book offers a powerful call to action for educators, institutions, and sport leaders to safeguard the next generation of hoopers. Rooted in his own experience as a distinguished former Division 1 college athlete and an alumnus of a Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCU), Javier has a unique perspective on the significance of sports in cultural and social movements. He procured his Bachelor of Science and Master of Science degrees from Florida A&M University, followed by a PhD from The University of Texas at Austin, where he delved into the intersections of race, culture, and athletics. Javier's expertise has led him to prominent roles, including serving as a Fellow at Harvard's AfroLatin American Research Initiative, a University of Pennsylvania & University of Birmingham (UK) Immigration Fellow, and a Postdoctoral Associate and Professor at Duke University. His scholarly work has been recognized with accolades, such as the Harvard ALARI Best Dissertation on an Afro-Latin American topic in 2020 and a Preservation Merit Award from Preservation Austin. Javier has been featured in numerous media outlets such as TEDx, The Travel Channel, Discovery Channel, Vice Sports, ESPN, and CNN, marking him as a distinctive voice in his arena. His dedication to shining a light on the unsung heroes who have transformed sports into a stage for empowerment and social change remains unwavering. A committed traveler and cultural enthusiast, Javier continues to connect and promote these remarkable stories of resilience and triumph wherever his journey takes him.

Episode Recap: What Detox Really Is + How to Move Through It FasterIn this episode, Talie breaks down what “detox” actually means—without the spiritual fluff. It's not your body purging bad energy; it's your nervous system catching up to a new level of awareness, energy, or truth.We unpack:What's really happening when you feel emotional or physical after big growth.Why “integration takes time” isn't about waiting—it's about completing oscillation cycles that teach your system safety at higher charge.The real physics of conduction—how energy moves through your body—and the one formula that explains it all: Conduction = Charge ÷ Resistance.How to lower resistance so energy flows faster and you stop looping in fatigue or overwhelm.The takeaway:You don't need more time. You need better conduction. Detox ends the moment energy can move through you without distortion.Follow Substack substack.com/@taliyahverse for session calendar and essays to help you shift, awaken and evolve.

Get ready for an inspiring journey through untold stories of brilliance and creativity! In this episode, we dive deep into two incredible narratives that shine a light on overlooked pioneers who have transformed our understanding of science and music. First up, we meet Katie Hafner, the powerhouse behind the Lost Women of Science podcast and Middle Grade Novel. She's on a mission to uncover the remarkable stories of women scientists who have been systematically erased from history. Imagine brilliant minds whose groundbreaking work was stolen, ignored, or simply forgotten. From Dora Richardson, who synthesized the life-saving breast cancer drug tamoxifen, to Katie's own grandmother who researched premature infant blindness, these women are finally getting the recognition they deserve. Then, we switch gears to D A Royster's heartwarming tale of "Happy Music," a vibrant celebration of New Orleans jazz history. Through the eyes of a young girl, we explore the legendary Club Desire - a groundbreaking venue started by Dana's grandfather in the 1940s.

Your grandmother was right — you should sit up straight. Posture affects far more than your appearance. It influences your mood, productivity, and even how well you think. I begin this episode with surprising research showing how simply improving your posture can boost everything from confidence to cognitive performance. https://www.deseret.com/2023/10/24/23930242/dont-slouch-minding-your-posture-good-mental-health-productivity We often hear that creativity is the key to success — but is it really? Cultural historian Samuel Franklin says the cult of creativity might be one of the most overrated ideas in modern life. He's the author of The Cult of Creativity: A Surprisingly Recent History (https://amzn.to/3MiaJUC), and he reveals how our obsession with being “creative” is a relatively new concept — and why, in many cases, getting things done matters more than thinking outside the box. Why do we love to be scared? Every Halloween, millions of people pay good money to feel terror in the theater. Science writer Nina Nesseth, author of Nightmare Fuel: The Science of Horror Films (https://amzn.to/46Let9l), joins me to explore why horror movies captivate us, how they affect our brains, and why this much-maligned genre deserves a lot more respect than it gets. And finally — are daily showers really necessary? Many of us can't imagine skipping one, but dermatologists say too much cleanliness might actually backfire. I'll explain what the science says about how often you should shower — and what happens if you overdo it. http://health.howstuffworks.com/skin-care/daily/tips/daily-shower-skin1.htm PLEASE SUPPORT OUR SPONSORS!!!

The 'Akiapōlā'au is a bright yellow bird with a black eye mask, found only in the upper elevations on the Big Island of Hawai'i. But its most distinct feature is its totally unique, uneven bill. The top of the bill is long, skinny, and curved like a sickle. Once abundant, habitat loss and disease from mosquitoes has taken a toll on the 'Akiapōlā'au population. In a race against extinction, people are working to restore habitat and control deadly invasive species to save Hawai'i's rarest birds.More info and transcript at BirdNote.org.Want more BirdNote?

In this deeply revealing episode, Rebecca Zung exposes why defending yourself against a narcissist only fuels their control — and how real power comes from knowing and standing in your truth. Joined by Nadine Macaluso, former wife of Jordan Belfort (the “Wolf of Wall Street”), they uncover the hidden psychology of trauma bonds, dopamine addiction, and the traits that make strong, intelligent people targets of narcissists. This conversation reveals how to break free from manipulation, reclaim your worth, and finally stop explaining, justifying, or trying to fix the unfixable.

Sandra Brown's Research: Discover why high-achieving, loyal, and conscientious people are often drawn into relationships with narcissists. Hope is the Hook: Why believing you can change or “fix” the narcissist keeps you trapped in the cycle. Breaking Free from the Narcissistic Cycle: How awareness, education, and boundary mastery are the keys to healing. Rebecca's Six Rules for Dealing with Narcissists: The Psychology Behind Hope, Fear, and Control: How your brain chemistry keeps you tethered to the toxic dynamic — and how to rewire it.

Independent investigative journalism, broadcasting, trouble-making and muckraking with Brad Friedman of BradBlog.com
This week we review a recent survey study assessing the beliefs of fetal cardiologists and how these may influence the content and conduct of their counseling. Do most fetal cardiologists review all options including intervention, comfort care and pregnancy termination? Should there be a mandate that all do? Is it realistic or appropriate to ask a fetal cardiologist to suggest an option when they do not believe it to be a reasonable or correct choice? We speak with two of the authors of this work and they are Dr. Joanne Chiu of Harvard University and Dr. Caitlin Haxel of The University of Vermont. DOI: 10.1002/pd.6706
In this Huberman Lab Essentials episode, I explore the science of gratitude and how to develop an effective, research-supported gratitude practice. I explain why common gratitude practices (like simply listing things you're grateful for) are far less impactful than engaging in story-based gratitude practices. I also explain how being grateful activates specific brain regions, which enhance calm, social connection and motivation, while reducing anxiety and inflammation. Finally, I share why we can't simply trick our brains into feeling grateful and describe a practical weekly gratitude practice that will improve both your mental and physical well-being.

Do science documentaries need a refresh? What if the goal wasn't just teaching you something, but making you feel something? A new series from the BBC, airing on PBS, called “Human” tries to do just that. It tells the tale of our ancient family tree, embracing the complex and dramatic sides of the story. It asks: Who were the different species of humans that lived on this planet before us? What must it have been like to be in their shoes? And how did we become the only ones left standing? Ella Al-Shamahi, a paleoanthropologist and host of “Human,” tells SciFri Host Flora Lichtman about her vision for how to tell this story so that today's humans lean in. Guest: Ella Al-Shamahi is a paleoanthropologist and the host of “Human” on BBC/PBS.Transcripts for each episode are available within 1-3 days at sciencefriday.com. Subscribe to this podcast.
