A multi-year megadrought in the Western U.S. has claimed untold populations of wild plants. Amid the conditions, some have survived. Scientists have produced a stunningly complete picture about how populations of one particular flower – the scarlet monkeyflower – made it through. In a new study published in the journal Science, a team of scientists spent decades studying and sampling select populations of scarlet monkeyflowers in California and Oregon. Through genetic sequencing, the team discovered that the populations that did best went through genetic changes in a short time period. This is known as rapid evolution. The team found that three of the populations that recovered the BEST adapted their stomata to open less, so they could conserve more water. Stomata act like a plant's pores, managing gas exchange and water loss. This allowed the scarlet monkeyflowers to hunker down in the drought and survive. Interested in more stories about rapid evolution?

In the United States, voters in each state elect a governor every two or four year terms. The governor is the top official in the state government. But did you know five U.S. states also elect a Kid Governor? It's a part of a civics education program that helps kids learn about democracy while focusing on a community issue that's important to them. But Why recently hosted Vermont's Kid Governor and cabinet for a kid press conference and in this episode, we'll listen in on that event. Plus we'll hear from kid governors in Connecticut and Nebraska about what they hope to accomplish in their terms.  Download our learning guides: PDF | Google Slide | Transcript

In this episode, Kyle introduces musician and Chek Institute trainee Adam Fallen, an advanced BioGeometry student trained under the late Dr. Robert Gilbert. Fallen recounts growing up in Charleston's School of the Arts, starting guitar at 12, gigging professionally by 15, touring with Clay Aiken at 18, moving to New York, and performing with Queen Latifah at the Super Bowl while also touring with major pop artists. Burnout and health issues on the road led him to holistic medicine, ayahuasca, Stanislav Grof's birth-trauma ideas, and ultimately Paul Chek's teachings. He describes a BioGeometry intervention that restored his hearing, deeper study of EMFs and “centering” quality, and how BioGeometry improved the host's sleep and home environment. Fallen explains moving from LA to Austin after New Zealand building-biology study, fires, and illness, then outlines his upcoming book EARS (Energy, Awareness, Rhythm, Sauce), his Fallen Frequency Podcast, and a free energy assessment offer.

Join us for an awe-inspiring conversation with astrobiologist and astronomer Caleb Scharf as he eloquently makes the case for "dispersal," the nearly inevitable advance of life and humanity across our solar neighborhood. From the book: "The idea of Dispersal is one where the sheer scale and scope of life’s future extension into the solar system profoundly changes things: not because of some new (and unlikely) cultural enlightenment from within but because of what the enormous expanse of space will do to dilute and change our species and all others.” Adam Frank says of the book, “If we can make it through the many crises of the next century, then the Solar System and the stars beyond await us. In The Giant Leap, Caleb Scharf demonstrates how becoming a true space-faring species is more than just humanity’s future.” Discover more at: https://www.planetary.org/planetary-radio/book-club-caleb-scharfSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

For years, scientists debated whether the first flying dinosaurs, the ancestors of modern birds, began by running and making little hops off the ground, or leapt off a tree branch to glide. It's called the “ground up vs. trees down” debate, for short. But a newer perspective on this mystery suggests that flying dinosaurs tried taking flight from more than one place. Recent findings suggest that the ability to fly could have evolved not just once but three separate times among dinosaurs.

What if the music you loved at 15 never stopped shaping how you think, feel, and connect with people?In this episode, we explore one of the most underrated forces in human psychology and the music encoded into your nervous system before you even had a choice. We're talking about why a song from 20 years ago can return you to a specific room, why dementia patients forget their family but remember every lyric, and how smart marketers are already using this against you.We also get into: The neuroscience of musical memory (and why it's almost impossible to erase)The "ages 12–25" window that decides your emotional soundtrack for lifeWhat someone's playlist tells you about their psychology and faster than any personality testHow music functions as a social bonding signal, an identity marker, and an invisible architecture shaping your behaviour in every environment you enter This one's a head and a heart thing.

In this fascinating podcast episode, Dr. Binod Dhakal, a pathologist and professor, explores the science of love, relationship psychology, and human behavior. From the history of love and evolution of relationships to the biology of attraction and hormones like dopamine and oxytocin, this conversation dives deep into how human bonding really works. Dr. Dhakal explains what love actually is from a scientific and psychological perspective, why long distance relationships often fail, and how modern relationship dynamics have changed over time. The discussion also explores human behavior in relationships, the role of hormones in attraction, and whether our actions influence biological responses. The episode also covers complex topics such as divorce psychology, midlife crisis in relationships, and the risky stages couples face during romantic partnerships. Dr. Dhakal shares insights into why relationships break down, how people misunderstand emotional needs, and what it takes to build a healthy and balanced relationship. Towards the end, the conversation focuses on practical perspectives including whether love is truly necessary for humans, what makes a perfect relationship, and how individuals can better understand love, attraction, and emotional connection. If you're interested in relationship psychology, the science of love, dating dynamics, and human bonding, this episode offers a unique perspective combining biology, psychology, and real-world relationship insights.

A project called Antscan has generated high resolution images of thousands of ants, representing over 700 species. To make it happen, researchers brought preserved ants from collections around the world to a particle accelerator in Germany. There, a powerful synchrotron X-ray source combined with a vial-swapping robot allowed the researchers to build a collection of 3D ant images, inside and out. Each voxel (like a 3D pixel) has a resolution of 1.22 micrometers—enough to see the tiny hairs on ant bodies, and distinguish individual muscle fibers. Antscan researcher Julian Katzke joins us to describe the background of the project, and how the images could be used for science and art. Check out Antscan images at our website. Guest: Dr. Julian Katzke is a postdoc at the Smithsonian National Museum of Natural History.  He worked on the AntScan project while a PhD student at the Okinawa Institute of Science and Technology.

From Breakthroughs to Budget Cuts: The Rollercoaster of Modern Medical Research   What happens when politics wages war on science—and Christians get caught in the blast radius? In this Good Faith Podcast episode, Curtis Chang talks with former NIH director Dr. Francis Collins and BioLogos president Dr. Kristine Torjesen about Collins' forced exit from NIH, the shutdown of a major HIV prevention programs in Africa, and how cuts to vaccines, medical research, and public health are threatening lives and future breakthroughs in cancer, Alzheimer's, and pandemic preparedness. They also confront vaccine distrust, anti-institution politics, and evangelical skepticism of science, while making the case that science is not the enemy of faith but a gift from God for truth, healing, and human flourishing.   Sign up for The After Party Sign up for The Good List Get tickets: Illuminate Arts + Faith Conference and our recording with Matt Maher   05:56 - Political Interference in Science Roles, Research, and Aid Cuts 10:57 - Are Medical Advances Threatened by Political Decisions? 16:03 - Curtis Gets Candid About Unexpected Benefits of Medical Aid in His Life 17:34 - Vaccine Policy Changes and Anti-Vax Influence  20:46 - Engaging Christians Who Distrust Science 25:39 - What Lessons Can We Learn from COVID Vaccine Promotion  28:32 - Is Science Politically Biased? 36:15 - Distrust of Institutions and Its Roots 44:45 - Equipping Pastors and Parents for Faith-Science Conversations 46:59 - Hopeful Medical Advances Despite Setbacks 50:15 - Science as a Source of Beauty and Worship   Scriptures: John 14:6 (ESV)   Mentioned in This Episode: Check out the Biologos website Announcement: Dr. Kristine Torjesen becomes BioLogos' 3rd president and CEO Biologos: Kristine Torjesen's Professional Biography NIH Bio: Francis S.

West, author of Endowed by Our Creator: The Bible, Science, and the Battle for America's Soul. Marking America's 250th anniversary, they unpack the Declaration of Independence's timeless truths—that all men are created equal, endowed by their Creator with unalienable rights to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness—rooted in biblical principles, natural law, and the founders' belief in objective morality. West reveals how these "self-evident" ideas made America a unique creed-based nation and why surveys show most Americans today misunderstand or reject their divine source. The discussion contrasts the American founding with the French Revolution's utopian failures, then traces how 19th-century Darwinian evolution undermined human equality, objective morality, human exceptionalism, and consent-based government—fueling racism, eugenics, moral relativism, and technocratic rule. Yet West offers hope: modern science increasingly reaffirms a Creator, human dignity, and the Declaration's core truths. Essential viewing for anyone passionate about America's founding principles, liberty, virtue, and the future of the nation. Get the book now! "Endowed by Our Creator" by John G.

On Day 5 of The Anchor of Now, we explore the emotional arc of Nurture. Often, when we worry about the future, we treat ourselves harshly, as if we can "scare" our way into being prepared. Today, we return to the Muladhara (Root) Chakra with a softer lens. By combining the science of the Vagus nerve with Eckhart Tolle's wisdom on "Being," we learn that the most productive thing we can do for our future is to deeply nurture our present state. In today's episode: Science: How the Vagus nerve acts as the body's internal "nurturer." Insight: Why your "Being" is more important than your "Doing." Practice: A soothing visualization to wrap your awareness in comfort and safety. This is day 5 of a 7-day meditation series, "Overcoming Future Anxiety: The Power of Now," episodes 3479-3485. THIS WEEK'S CHALLENGE -  5-4-3-2-1 SENSORY CHALLENGE When your mind races toward the future, stop and name: 5 things you see 4 things you feel 3 things you hear 2 things you smell 1 thing you taste Goal: Find one "micro-beauty" daily—a tiny detail you usually miss while worrying.

This is a Vintage episode from 2007Why This Episode MattersIf you've ever wondered why some salmon, oysters, or tomatoes taste better than others, this episode gets into the reasons.Jon Rowley explains how better fish handling changed the reputation of Copper River salmon.He breaks down why oysters pair well with only certain wines and how American oyster culture faded and returned.The conversation also explores compost, soil health, and its impact on flavorThe big idea here is simple: great flavor starts long before food reaches the plate.The BanterMark and Francis open with a conversation about the rise of “under the radar” bars and restaurants in Manhattan: places with no sign, no published number, or a deliberate effort to avoid becoming the next overcrowded hotspot. They talk through the difference between true neighborhood-style discretion and exclusivity used as marketing, with stops at Milk & Honey, Pegu Club, and the Waverly Inn.The ConversationJon Rowley joins the show with the kind of résumé that makes food people pay attention. A former commercial fisherman, Rowley helped develop the fresh market for Copper River salmon. He explains how fish are handled dramatically improves flavor and texture.The conversation then shifts to oysters, where Rowley discusses the Pacific Coast Oyster Wine Competition, finding wines to flatter oysters, and how American oyster culture disappeared and then slowly returned. He also talks about the role oysters play in healthier waterways.In the final segment, Rowley turns from sea to soil. He talks compost, organic matter, and why healthier soil leads to more flavorful produce. It is a wide-ranging conversation, but the theme is consistent: better food comes from understanding the systems behind it.Time Stamps0:00 – Banter: the appeal and limits of “under the radar” bars and restaurants8:25 – Jon Rowley joins: fisherman, oyster expert, and advocate for better flavor9:40 – How Copper River salmon went from canned commodity to prized fresh fish12:20 – The ideal fish-handling process16:00 – Oysters and wine: what actually works and why19:40 – The return of oyster culture in America22:20 – Clean water matters for oysters and for their ecosystems 25:15 – Mulling over compost: why soil health changes the flavor of produceGuest BioJon Rowley was a food consultant known for elevating the way chefs and consumers think about flavor.

For decades, renowned environmental writer Elizabeth Kolbert has taken readers to remote corners of the planet to understand how all life is connected—and how our planet is changing. She's covered everything from the collapse of insect populations to the success of one town's effort to go carbon neutral.  Host Flora Lichtman speaks with Kolbert about the undeniable heaviness of our current climate moment, how the splendor of the Great Barrier Reef “tilted” her worldview, and the messy business of trying to solve environmental problems.  In March and April, the Science Friday Book Club is reading Kolbert's latest book, “Life on a Little-Known Planet.” It's a collection of essays she's written over the years. Check out the Book Club to read along. Guest: Elizabeth Kolbert is a staff writer at The New Yorker and the author of several books, including “Life on a Little-Known Planet: Dispatches from a Changing World.” Transcripts for each episode are available within 1-3 days at sciencefriday.com.

They burned the books. They buried the technology. They made sure you'd never know what humanity was truly capable of. In this explosive conversation, Aubrey Marcus and electromagnetic researcher Ken Sperry pull back the curtain on the greatest scientific cover-up in modern history. This forgotten science could change everything. "We have these physical bodies, we're in this physical world matter. But even science will tell us that this is all just vibrating and nothing is actually solid," Sperry explains, unraveling a thread that connects ancient architecture to free energy, the human heart to cosmic fields, and consciousness to the very fabric of existence. From Nikola Tesla's suppressed technologies to the mysterious Tartarian civilization, from the heart as a vortex rather than a pump to why our cities were once built as healing antennas, this conversation reveals what happens when you start asking the questions they don't want you to ask. "If we really grasp what all of that is, well, then it puts the power back into our hands," Sperry declares. As Aubrey puts it: "We're participants in the immanence, meaning the manifest reality of the transcendent God." This is a roadmap for reclaiming your energetic sovereignty in a world designed to keep you disconnected. The awakening is here, and the science is stranger than you ever imagined.| Ken Sperry |►Instagram | https://www.instagram.com/nuatlantis/This episode is sponsored by►Metal Mark Gold Aurum Collectable Art |  ⁠https://mtlmrk.com/⁠►Korrect Life | ⁠https://korrectlife.com/| Aubrey Marcus |►Website | ⁠⁠https://www.aubreymarcus.com/►Instagram | https://www.instagram.com/aubreymarcus►Facebook |⁠⁠ https://www.facebook.com/AubreyMarcus/►X |⁠ https://x.com/aubreymarcus►Substack: https://www.aubreymarcus.com/blogs/substack► Love To The Seventh Power: ⁠https://chakaruna.com/collections/books⁠Subscribe to the Aubrey Marcus podcast:►iTunes |⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://apple.co/2lMZRCn ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠►Spotify |⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ https://spoti.fi/2EaELZO ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠►IHeartRadio |⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://ihr.fm/3CiV4x3 ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠►Partner with the Aubrey Marcus Podcast | https://www.aubreymarcus.com/pages/booking

India is revolutionising its approach to space exploration. Science journalist Alok Jha follows preparations for the country's first human spaceflight mission. For decades, India focused its space programme on limited, inexpensive projects directly benefiting its citizens, such as weather satellites and communications networks. Now, the most ambitious mission yet is underway: India will send humans into space. Alok Jha speaks to people at the heart of this radical shift to understand how it's happening and what's driving it. Dr Madhavan Nair, former Chairman of the Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO) takes us inside the room where it all began, a high-stakes one-to-one meeting with the prime minister of the time. We relive tense moments of ISRO's famous Mars mission with its Science Director, Dr Seetha Somasundaram. Indian-American astronaut Anil Menon counts down to his own launch. We visit India's leading rocket company to witness a start-up boom.

1717 kommt es auf Schloss Weißenstein unter dem Landgraf von Hessen-Kassel zu einem besonderen Experiment: Johann Bessler, der als Orffyreus in Erscheinung trat, präsentiert eine ewig laufende Maschine, die in der Lage sein sollte, Mühlen in Gang zu halten, Bergwerke auszupumpen, Förderkörbe zu heben, Sümpfe auszutrocknen und natürlich sollte sie auch die Wasserspiele in den Lustgärten betreiben – ohne weitere Energiezufuhr. Wir sprechen in der Folge über das Leben von Johann Bessler und warum das Perpetuum Mobile gerade am Vorabend des Dampf-Maschinenzeitalters einen Höhepunkt erreichte.

Patient advocate Richard A. Lawhern, PhD, discusses the article "U.S. opioid policy history: How politics replaced science in pain care." Richard argues that for decades, public policy on pain treatment has been driven by sociopolitical factors rather than medical science. He traces the history from the "business corruption" phase of pill mills to the current "political phase" launched by the 2016 CDC guidelines. The conversation highlights how anti-opioid zealotry and legal fears have forced physicians to abandon effective pain care, leaving patients to suffer or turn to illicit markets. Richard also critiques the rising reliance on buprenorphine, suggesting it is popular not because of superior efficacy for pain, but because it offers a legal "safe harbor" for clinicians. Discover why Richard believes the confusion between physical dependence and addiction is driving a public health failure. Partner with me on the KevinMD platform.

Varroa mites are the most destructive parasite affecting honey bee colonies worldwide. In this Bee Science Short, Dr. Dewey Caron explains how Varroa destructor reproduces, spreads within colonies, and why understanding the mite's biology is essential for modern beekeeping. Female Varroa mites enter brood cells shortly before they are capped and reproduce alongside the developing bee. Inside the sealed cell, mites feed on the developing bee and produce offspring that emerge with the young adult bee. Because the mite's reproductive cycle is closely tied to brood production, populations can increase rapidly during the active season. Beyond direct feeding damage, Varroa mites also spread viruses that weaken colonies and shorten the lifespan of worker bees. Dewey explains why unchecked mite populations can quickly overwhelm a colony if they are not monitored and managed. For beekeepers, the key is awareness. Regular monitoring allows beekeepers to track mite levels and respond before populations reach damaging levels. Understanding the biology of Varroa helps beekeepers make informed decisions about management strategies and colony health. This episode is part of the Bee Science with Dewey series, where Dr. Caron shares practical explanations of honey bee biology to help beekeepers better understand what is happening inside their colonies.

Over the weekend, news emerged of an outbreak of meningitis among university and school students in Kent in south-east England. The outbreak has killed two young people and left several others seriously ill. Health officials confirmed that the meningitis B strain has been identified in some of the cases. To find out what we know about the outbreak, who is most at risk and why questions are being asked about who has access to the meningitis B vaccine, Madeleine Finlay speaks to Eliza Gil, a clinical lecturer specialising in infectious disease at the London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine.

Few people know that better than Major Andrew Gay, who has served as a meteorologist in the U.S. Air Force, at the White House, and at the Pentagon. In those roles, weather wasn't simply data — it was mission-critical information that could impact safety, security, and strategy at the highest levels. Today, we'll hear how his career has bridged science and service, and what it takes to forecast when the stakes couldn't be higher.Chapters00:00 The Importance of Weather Forecasting02:51 Andrew Gay's Journey to Meteorology05:56 Career Path in the Air Force08:53 Supporting Military Operations11:44 Weather Forecasting at the White House12:30 Break 114:44 Current Role and Responsibilities17:55 Challenges in Weather Forecasting21:52 Emerging Technologies in Meteorology22:26 Break 225:06 Effective Science Communication29:50 Advice for Aspiring MeteorologistsSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

We all remember Aaron Russo's story about the inside information that Nicholas Rockefeller shared with him decades ago, including advance warning of 9/11 and the homeland security state. But who was Nicholas Rockefeller? I answered this question to the best of my ability nine years ago, but new information has emerged to confirm what I suspected. You won't believe what's been uncovered...

What does science look like in a preschool classroom?It's not worksheets.It's a child running across the grass with a kite they built themselves! They built it, tested it and discovered that it works!In this episode, we're talking about how to move beyond “cute” spring activities and into meaningful science that actually builds cognitive skills.Topics Discussed:What real science looks like in preschoolWhy spring is the perfect time for scienceCenters vs. STEM ChallengesThe thinking skills hiding in spring scienceHow to make spring science simpleRelated Resources:Science Centers + STEM Challenges BundleConnect with AshleyFollow on Instagram @lovelycommotionJoin the Lovely Preschool Teachers Facebook GroupMore About the Lovely Preschool Teachers PodcastAre you a busy preschool teacher who loves gaining new ideas, perspectives, and inspiration for your classroom?

What if a glowing pyramid sitting in your living room could restructure your biology, compress decades of meditation into minutes, and shift your brain into an altered state without drugs, breathwork, or effort? This episode reveals the science and experience behind one of the most unusual biohacking technologies Host Dave Asprey has ever encountered. -Watch this episode on YouTube for the full video experience: https://www.youtube.com/@DaveAspreyBPR -Get $250 off from The Light System by using code ‘daveasprey' at: https://www.thelightsystems.com/ Jason Shurka is an author, philanthropist, and founder of Unified Healing, a global network spanning 55 countries and hundreds of wellness centers worldwide. He has written five books on health, consciousness, and human performance, and serves as the driving force behind The Light System, a technology now joined with the Gaia Network. Shurka has spent years documenting firsthand results from people around the world, making him one of the most credible independent voices on emerging light-based healing technologies. Dave Asprey and Jason Shurka break down exactly how The Light System uses full spectrum biophotonic light and encoded affirmations to create a coherent energy field that the body synchronizes with at a cellular level. They explore how this technology targets the molecular structure of water in your body, increases cellular electrical conductivity by up to 80 percent in under an hour, and creates the conditions your mitochondria need to produce more energy, accelerate recovery, and trigger deep self healing. You will learn why your body is already a light based organism, how biophotons drive biological communication at the cellular level, and why the geometry of a pyramid amplifies these effects in ways that flat screen technology cannot replicate. They also dig into the nature of consciousness, the ego as a biological operating system, and why the most powerful biohacking interventions are often the ones that work below the threshold of conscious awareness. You will Learn: Why cellular electrical conductivity increases by 80 percent after one hour of exposure to The Light System How encoded light affirmations restructure the molecular formation of water in your body without conscious effort What biophotons are and why your mitochondria, gut bacteria, and DNA are already producing and receiving them How full spectrum visible light maps directly onto the body's energy centers and organ systems Why the metamatrix font used in The Light System produces stronger biological effects than standard text How this technology was invented by a programmer combining transcendental meditation with software development What happens to your brain state when you stare at encoded light and why it resembles deep meditation without the effort How geometry, specifically the pyramid shape, amplifies photonic output and room coverage Why altered states accessed through light may be one of the most underexplored frontiers in brain optimization and neuroplasticity How to use The Light System for sleep optimization, pain relief, and cellular recovery Thank you to our sponsors!
