Key Takeaways From Our Discussion With JoeMycorrhizal fungi play a crucial role in plant development and nutrient uptake, and inoculating crops with mycorrhizae can potentially enhance yield and nutrient efficiency.Trichoderma fungi have the ability to combat fusarium diseases and increase the heat in hot peppers, offering potential benefits in crop production.Measuring microbial populations in the soil is challenging, but tests like PLFA and B-Crop can provide insights into the presence and diversity of microbes.Inoculating cover crops with mycorrhizae may help establish a beneficial microbial network in the soil, improving soil health and crop performance.Different farming practices, such as cover cropping and no-till, can have a significant impact on soil biology, with fields that have been managed with regenerative practices often showing higher levels of biological activity. Comparing different farming practices on a farm scale is crucial for understanding their impact on soil health and nutrient availability.Rainfall plays a significant role in soil biology and nutrient cycling.The Haney test can be a useful tool for assessing nitrogen levels in the soil and making informed decisions about side-dress applications.Interpreting test results requires experience and an understanding of field conditions. Nitrogen is more complicated than carbon due to its mobility, and measuring carbon in the soil is challenging.Cover cropping can significantly improve organic matter and soil health, even on a small hobby farm.Planting early maturity soybeans can create opportunities for cover cropping and nitrogen fixation.Data-driven decision-making is crucial in agriculture, and challenging conventional norms can lead to innovative practices.

In this episode of Culture by Design, Tim and Junior sit down to talk about leading through uncertainty. The content from this episode comes from Dr. Clark's most recent Harvard Business Review publication, an article entitled What Employees Need from Leaders in Uncertain Times. In the episode, they explore the impact of uncertainty on individuals and organizations and share four practical strategies for effectively leading teams through uncertain times.TakeawaysUncertainty is a constant in life and can have both negative and positive impacts.Creating thick trust is essential for effective leadership during uncertain times.Inoculating with vision helps motivate and guide individuals and teams through uncertainty.Increasing honesty and transparency builds trust and fosters a positive work environment.Seeing uncertainty as an opportunity allows leaders to explore new possibilities and stay competitive.Chapters00:00 Introduction03:10 The Impact of Uncertainty11:06 Perception of Uncertainty19:57 Creating Thick Trust27:11 Inoculating with Vision35:17 Increasing Honesty and Transparency39:46 Seeing Uncertainty as Opportunity50:25 ConclusionImportant LinksHBR Article

With all of the chaos in Washington, now is the time to prepare for legislative battles in the states in a few months. I list all of the medical freedom priorities we are pushing and the need to strike while the iron is hot. We're joined by Aaron Siri, the most successful vaccine lawyer, who is now managing in partnership with the Informed Action Consent Network a group pushing medical freedom bills in the states.

Episode 47: In this episode, Angie Gust talks about hydrogen water (aka functional water).  In Japan, research on functional water, especially on reduced water which contains a lot of molecular hydrogen, is ongoing. The active substances in reduced water have been reported to be hydrogen, mineral nanoparticles, and mineral nanoparticle hydrides. Similar to therapeutic gas, hydrogen water has been studied in diverse patient populations and has shown positive effects on immunity and inflammation. Turning to the environment, helping solve the climate crisis requires critical thinking. Unfortunately, many people are lacking in critical thinking skills. Inoculation theory may help.  Inoculation theory is a branch of psychology that says just as exposing people to a weakened form of a virus builds up their immunity, so does exposing people to a weakened form of misinformation. Like warning people/students about politically or financially motivated attempts to spread misinformation about the environment.  Consider trying to give people you know a heads up about misinformation and see if it works.   References Broockman, D., & Kalla, J.

My guest today is Dr Andy Norman, who is the award-winning author of ‘Mental Immunity: Infectious Ideas, Mind-Parasites, and the Search for a Better Way to Think'. His research illuminates the evolutionary origins of human reasoning, the norms that make dialogue fruitful, and the workings of the mind's immune system. He champions the emerging science of mental immunity as the antidote to disinformation, propaganda, hate, and division. Currently, Andy directs the Humanism Initiative at Carnegie Mellon University and is the founder of CIRCE, the Cognitive Immunology Research Collaborative.  Some of the topics we covered include: Andy's entry into philosophy The mind's ‘immune system' Definition of ‘mind parasites' Manipulation gone to scale Simple conspiracy vs complex reality The challenge of debating against conspiratorial thinking The incentives that fuel misinformation How to prevent mind infections Determining whether a belief is ‘reasonable' Evolutionary origins of our capacity to ‘reason' Dangers of confirmation bias Factors that make us vulnerable to ‘mind parasites' The dangers of hitching belief to identity Developing a ‘mind vaccine' The ‘New Socratic Method' During the show, Andy and I discussed a paper he wrote in response to Hugo Mercier and Dan Sperber's book ‘The Enigma of Reason'. You can download that paper here. ----- If you like what you hear, please consider liking and reviewing the show wherever you get your pods.

Working in customer a customer facing environment like a coffee shop means that we get to serve and experience all different types of people in the course fo the day. While so many of our interaction are within the expected range of emotions, there are times where things get pretty tense and situations escalate past where we are comfortable.  What do we do when confronted with these circumstances? Are we prepared for and confident in deescalation? Sadly we often fail in this area which means bad situations often get worse leaving staff and customers feeling demoralized and without much hope for resolution.  This is a really important topic and To help us learn how to approach deescalation and make it a real process in our shops we are talking to Melissa Tucker or Mind Over Matters and Pathways to Peace.  Melissa graduated with a Master's in Counseling Psychology from University of Hawaii Hilo, in August 2015. She worked for five years, in Hawaii, as a crisis mobile responder for youth, as a counselor at the domestic violence shelter, as a counselor for a private outpatient substance abuse clinic, and as the clinical supervisor providing training, counseling, parent education and services to staff and Child Welfare Services mandated clients. After moving to Washington State in 2019, she began providing private coaching and training in Motivational Interviewing, supervision, and counseling skills. She also worked for Crisis Connections as a supervisor and trainer for counselors and non-clinicians in Mental Health related skills. She currently works as a Licensed Mental Health Counselor Associate in private practice in addition to doing private training.   In today's conversation we cover: What leads to poorly handled conflict The unique context of the coffee shop Caring for staff needs and safety  Listening and understanding The right mindset and cultlure Inoculating baristas against conflict Making policy a conversation Modeling behavior Principles and techniques of deescalation Links: https://www.mindovermattersinstitute.com EMAIL: info@pathpeace.org   Related episodes: 125 : Confidence in Conflict w/ Kwame Christian : A framework for Compassionate Curiosity 262 : Understanding the Homeless Community w/ Natalie Harris, Executive Director of The Coalition for the Homeless 052 : Solving Coworker Conflict w/ Tom Henschel 165 : The Art of Deep Listening w/ Oscar Trimboli 104 : How to Deliver Difficult Feedback w/ Tom Henschel 330 : Establishing Systems in Your Coffee Shop   Visit our amazing Sponsors! www.prima-coffee.com/keys www.pacficfoodservice.com www.coffeefest.com

This is a rebroadcast of a conversation that Chris Fleisher had with University of Georgia professor Emily Lawler back in 2019 about her research on vaccine mandates for adolescents.

The information age has been rife with more misinformation than any other time in human history. With the dissemination and spread of fakes news is at an all-time high, can people be trained to spot and pre-bunk misinformation and fake news. That's what we're here to learn about on today's episode of Stats and Short Stories with guest Sander van der Linden. Sander van der Linden is Professor of Social Psychology in Society in the Department of Psychology at the University of Cambridge and Director of the Cambridge Social Decision-Making Lab. His research interests center around the psychology of human judgment, communication, and decision-making. In particular, he is interested in the influence and persuasion process and how people gain resistance to persuasion (by misinformation) through psychological inoculation. He is also interested in the psychology of fake news, media effects, and belief systems (e.g., conspiracy theories), as well as the emergence of social norms and networks, attitudes and polarization, reasoning about evidence, and the public understanding of risk and uncertainty. In all of this work, he looks at how these factors shape human cooperation and conflict in real-world collective action problems such as climate change and sustainability, public health, and the spread of misinformation.

Josh Compton studies how “inoculating” people against persuasion can make them more resistant to arguments they encounter later. Dr. Compton is an associate professor of speech at Dartmouth and has written a lot about “inoculation theory,” which began (as a theory) back in the 60s with the work of William McGuire. We talk about lots of inoculation theory's many extensions and applications.Things we mention in this episode:The “virgin-soil epidemic” explanation of disease spread among indigenous people following Columbus' voyage to the Americas. (See this Atlantic article by Ostler, 2020)William McGuire's original formulation of “inoculation theory” (McGuire, 1964)A lot of the work Josh discusses is reviewed in Compton et al. (2021) and Compton (2021).Online games that help inoculate against fake news: “Bad News”, “Breaking Harmony Square”, and “Go Viral!” Check out my new audio course on Knowable: "The Science of Persuasion."Learn more about Opinion Science at http://opinionsciencepodcast.com/ and follow @OpinionSciPod on Twitter.

Our brains evolved on the African savannah well enough to allow Homo Sapiens to survive in that harsh, unforgiving environment, and go on to populate the planet. But the thinking organ which developed to prevent our death at the hands of predators and the elements is far from perfect. We are primed to trust the opinions and anecdotes of those in our close circle, and the pronouncements of those in authority. We conclude that something is true based on inadequate personal experience, less-than-perfect memory, faulty logic, and a host of cognitive biases. These tendencies can lead us to believe in things which do not comport with reality, and often lead to bad decisions, and even harm. In this talk, Rob Palmer will discuss these topics from a skeptical perspective, because understanding our innate cognitive failings can help us all think more rationally, better avoid errors, and hopefully live better lives. Rob Palmer is a skeptical activist who works to educate the public about critical thinking by contributing to Wikipedia as part of The Guerrilla Skepticism on Wikipedia project (GSoW), and by writing for Skeptical Inquirer as The Well-Known Skeptic. His column covers contemporary skeptical issues, and he has interviewed conference speakers, podcasters, YouTubers, scientists, activists, and TV personalities as diverse as Cosmos producer/writer Ann Druyan, Thomas Westbrook (Holy Koolaid), Seth Andrews (The Thinking Atheist), and actor/activist John de Lance (Q of Star Trek).

In episode 7, Lucy Kind interviews Faisal Saeed Al Mutar, a refugee of the Iraq Civil War, whose life's work is facilitating the freedom of information and knowledge in authoritarian nations in the Middle East. Faisal shares his experience growing up under the regime of Saddam Hussein without free access to information. He explains how he created Ideas Beyond Borders to translate and disseminate thousands of articles, books, and websites into Arabic and other languages, with the goal of stopping radical extremism. Faisal also gives an insider view into the chaotic removal of US troops from Afghanistan and explains how Taliban rule will impact access to secular ideas.  Lucy and Faisal discuss why there is hope for progress in the region.

As farmers and growers, one of the number one things we need to take good care of to ensure good production is our soil. Now, there are a ton of practices and amendments available that supposedly make our soils healthier, from compost to compost teas, to biochar, to a lot of other things. Consequently, one such amendment that's coming more and more into light these past few years is live microbial amendments. Microbial amendments help both stimulate and improve the microbial fauna in the soil that keep our crops healthy. And we have Dr. Paul Zorner of Locus Ag to talk about how microbial amendments do just that. Dr. Paul Zorner is an Adjunct Professor at the Department of Horticulture at North Carolina State University, as well as Chief Executive Officer and Chief Agronomist of Locus Agricultural Solutions, an agricultural company that produces microbial probiotics. Firmly believing that agriculture is one of the most sustainable ways to mitigate our current climate issues, he is also one of the key proponents to actively push for incentivizing farmers to sequester carbon in the soil to improve the global CO2 emissions. https://locusag.com/   WATCH FULL EPISODES  YouTube https://bit.ly/watchISOS Follow Diego @diegofooter - https://www.instagram.com/diegofooter   In this episode of In Search of Soil Diego introduces the episode's guest, Dr. Paul Zorner (00:58) Is our view of soil and the complex relationships within it too reductionist?

The January 6th insurrection made clear the increasing dangers of domestic extremism in the U.S. But with social media spreading online disinformation at an alarming rate, how can law enforcement and experts hope to stop the flow of white supremacist propaganda?

Dr. Smithyman and Dr. Stout examine common anxieties about getting the new Covid-19 vaccines.

On episode 95, Leon chats with philosopher Andy Norman about mental immunity and how to reason well, what ideologies are and what makes them toxic, the responsibility each of us have to become rational thinkers and why, ethically, we can't just believe what we want to, how repetition fuels delusional beliefs, how we can remain hopeful and optimistic without fooling ourselves, human nature and why it's less awful than we believe, effective teaching methods and how Leon's friendship with Dr. Tim Stroup helped him become more open minded, the ways in which we resist facing reality, why a belief's practical outcomes contribute to its validity as much as its truthfulness, and why reasoning together, as opposed to against one another, can help us create a better world.

I had such a great discussion with Jessica Lahey for this episode. Jess is a bestselling parenting author, and her first book is called The Gift of Failure. Today we talk about her second book, out this week, called The Addiction Inoculation: Raising Healthy Kids in a Culture of Dependence. This is such an important topic, especially with the rising rates of teen mental health issues that we were seeing even before the pandemic. The book is very well researched, but it's not a dry academic tome; Jess weaves in stories from her own life as well as stories of real teens and the challenges they face. Some topics Jess and I discuss include: When the experts say “substance abuse is preventable,” what does this mean? How genetics, epigenetics, and environment work together to affect a person's risk of substance abuse; How Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACEs) come into play here; Balancing risk factors against protective factors; Risks of substances on adolescent brains that are still developing; The importance of talking to kids and teens about brain development and how their brains work; Why the “Just Say No” and “Scared Straight” approaches are not effective; Why parents can't assume that this topic is being adequately addressed at school; When to start conversations related to substance abuse prevention with our kids; Tips for having these discussions; and Why her bottom-line message for parents is “delay, delay, delay.” I hope you enjoy my discussion with Jessica Lahey. -=-=-=-=- Thank you sponsors & partners: Audible - Get a FREE audiobook and 30-day free trial: www.audibletrial.com/widowedparent BetterHelp - Talk with a licensed, professional therapist online.

Dare To Care – How to Survive and Thrive in Today's Medical World Dr. Bonhoeffer is a global expert on infectious diseases and vaccine safety and a thought leader on efforts to transform how medical professionals care for their patients — and themselves. His new book is “Dare to Care — How to Survive and Thrive in Today's Medical World.” Inoculating Ourselves Against the “Pandemic of Fear” “Doomscrolling” is one symptom of how fear and other negative emotions have become contagious in our constantly connected culture. Dr. Bonhoeffer explains how tapping into kindness, love, hope and gratitude in our personal lives and relationships can inoculate us from the pandemic of anxiety and dismay.

Deacon Eric and Dr. Brett Salkeld continue to wrestle with the morality of vaccinations in this part 2 of 2, digging deeper into the categories and arguments prevalent in recent weeks. Warning: These episodes may cause irritation and inflammation at the injection site, and a closer alignment with the consistent moral teachings of the Pope and teaching office of the Church. Show Snippet: "The same people who say that it's extremely unlikely...to die from COVID, also are pulling out single incidences of adverse reactions to vaccines..."

As vaccines begin to roll out promising protection from COVID-19 and a slow return to normal life, there remain some questions regarding the morality of some vaccines which may have connections with ethically questionable cell-lines. Deacon Eric and Dr. Brett navigate the waters in this two-part look at the morality of vaccination. Warning: These episodes may cause irritation and inflammation at the injection site, and a closer alignment with the consistent moral teachings of the Pope and teaching office of the Church. Show Snippet: "The one kind of cooperation with evil which is permissible, in part because it's often unavoidable, but even if it is avoidable, sometimes it can be justified if avoiding it will cause other problem...this is called proportionate reasons..."

From the national elections to the decennial census, 2020 has provided a masterclass in how antagonistic messengers use social media platforms to spread misinformation and disinformation. These messages, communicated from fringe blogs, the dark web, and the social media ecosystem are not only difficult to track and quantify, but they pose a significant threat to democracy. Cristina López Guevara guides us through a conversation about this dilemma. And she explains how Data and Society, a nonprofit research organization, monitors, contextualizes and analyzes these trends. We all have accountability, as media consumers, to anticipate, intervene, and prevent the amplification of misinformation.

False information about vaccines has been around before social media, but now it can spread that much faster. The results have been deadly. We all want safe and effective vaccines against COVID.  Today Dr. Ruston breaks down some of the false information around vaccines, explores amazing vaccine history, and relates this all to COVID. We also hear from kids and from a renowned vaccine researcher, Dr. Parker Small.

We're all trying to drink from a fire hose of information regarding the COVID-19 pandemic and there's a lot of specialized, technical information surrounding it.  How does a layperson navigate through all of it?  If you figure out how to filter information and respond with intelligence through this hysteria, you should be set going forward for anything else.

You have more control over how you perceive the world than you may think, even in a world dominated by stressful headlines. In Shawn's work with the military, he has found that we can work through stress if we have the right lens and do it with others instead of going it alone. In this episode, Shawn discusses how to create a "moat" around your day by tackling the weakest points of your day - the beginning and end. He also touches on how focusing on gratefulness creates a "background app" in your brain that searches out the world for positives, rather than negatives.

There's a thought virus many of us are exposed to that can cause lack and shortage when we let it take over our focus. That thought is: “There isn't enough money.” If you’re not paying good attention, it’s easy to succumb to and begin thinking in terms of lack since so many others are thinking it, too!  Here's how to vaccinate for this money thought virus ...

This is part 2 of the Awkward Social Justice series, where we explore our history as non-activists; trace our inroads into civic engagement and social justice issues; and finally offer a encouragement and resources for others who are just getting started. In this episode, we talk about learning to live justly: the point where we began to put our Awareness to work into engagement and taking Action. Laura talks about the 2 year gap between her big tipping point (Ferguson, 2014) and when she graduated from signal boosting to civic action. Leslie talks about his gradual evolution and a few key moments that have changed his trajectory significantly. This is an invitation to observe where you are in this process, and to be deliberate about the next steps in your own evolution. There are some great resources in the Show Notes to help you do some heavy thinking (mostly on racial injustice, as that remains a theme that is personal for us), and we are always an email away. In December 2014, Laura wrote the following on Facebook. What we consider must-reads for this podcast are marked with an asterisk: I've been struggling for words to add to the conversation revolving around the recent exposure of the prejudice and violence endemic in this country. And I realize, I don't have to add to the conversation; I just need to listen better to what is being said. Our refusal to engage in other people's realities and listen to their stories is what truly divides us in any situation. A lack of compassion always divides. I've spent the last few weeks just trying to listen, trying to build my compassion in an area where my knee jerk response has all too often been one of self-protective denial. I encourage you to do the same. I'm linking some of the resources that have had the most impact on me. Read this excellent article on brain chemistry and the science of unconscious racial prejudice - no one is exempt from this. Consider it an invitation to live a more examined thought-life. ***** Here is some context that outlines the corruption and systemic oppression specifically in St. Louis County. It's a very long article, but well worth the investment. If it helps build outrage against corruption to see it through the lens of a couple of guys who can't be labeled as "thugs" or dismissed for "resisting arrest," this is a very good example of what American citizens are up against, when they seek justice from a self-protective system. Amidst all the depressing stuff I read, I was incredibly encouraged by this interview of police chief Kelly McMillin, in Salinas, CA, about how he is training his staff to de-escalate events and build trust in the community that his force truly serves. This NPR interview with civil rights attorney Constance Rice gives an inside look at mindsets pervasive in the police force. Her solution to the issue is compassion and common sense. (There's also a full transcript available for non-listening types.) I also appreciated this culture piece that points out how difficult good policing is, and that not everyone is qualified to do it, just because they can pass all the tests. ***** A four-part, time-intensive read that is well worth contemplating is Ta-Nehisi Coates' "The Case for Reparations." The twitter hashtags #alivewhileblack and #crimingwhilewhite are illuminating. This WaPo article highlights some of them. Here's my friend Tyler's interview with rapper Propaganda, about the intersection of faith and racial justice: Part 1 Part 2 Finally, as a parent, it's important to me to talk explicitly and age-appropriately with my kids about racism and prejudice. These two articles have thoughtful, research-backed strategies for navigating such conversations: "Inoculating our children against racism" and "Research based advice on teaching children not to be racist."**Support Glimmering PodcastLinks:Black Lives Matter: birth of a movement | Wesley Lowery | US news | The Guardian — The killing of Michael Brown created a new generation of black activists, with thousands taking to the streets, and a hashtag used more than 27m times.

This movie is so good! Just a warning: we really think you should watch this before listening to the episode. It’s so good! Magic as skeptical training Taking advantage of human intuition. Taking advantage of our sensory aparatus. Inoculating against credulity and being fooled. Penn & Teller Excellent showmen who have been at it forever and who are just great. They are “honest liars” and a lot of their media is great training in cognitive biases. Saving people from drowning Attempts to derive scientific guidelines for chest compressions and mouth-to-mouth resuscitation to save drowning victims might go back further than you’d expect. Tesla David Bowie as the perfect dandy to play the rather dandy-ish Tesla. Modern railguns might be in a similar vein to Tesla’s “Death Ray” Taming electricity The wonderment of the period. Misconceptions about the rivalry between Tesla and Edison. Dedication and obsession and sacrifice The difference between simple and easy.

Mycologist and author Peter McCoy of RadicalMycology.com takes on the question - I'm wondering if you have any information about inoculating trees to grow truffles. I have read that hazelnuts are sometimes used in truffle production and, while there are nurseries that sell (large quantities of) inoculated trees, I can't find any information about doing it yourself. It seems like the method is to introduce some kind of inoculum into sterilised seeding media just prior to germination, but what is the inoculum? Ground up truffles? Can you grow out the inoculum prior to introducing it to the soil to expand your supply?

The guys started with some follow up on The Wire, The Newsroom, what colored food does to your poop, Mike Batz’ link to Craig Goldwyn’s Huffington Post article on sprouts, T. gondii in Romanian animals, and F’ed up. Aaron’s email then prompted a discussion about Plague Inc., the CDC’s interest in it and CDC’s own game Solve the Outbreak. The guys were impressed by how progressive the CDC is in terms of social media and new ways of engaging the public. Don then provided some info about HDScores, a company that plans to make Restaurant Inspection Scores from 3100 jurisdictions from the US, Canada and UK widely available. This prompted a discussion about making restaurant scores available to the public in an interpretable way. Ben shared his experiences from a recent trip to Calgary, where his 4 year old son Jack got sick, possibly with Norovirus. Ben was fascinated by Delta Airlines’ approach of dealing with the vomit problem, which involved plastic bags to contain the risk and coffee pods to manage the smell. Don was familiar with the approach thanks to Roderick on the Line. Ben didn’t agree with Delta’s decision to take them off plane first (thus inoculating the plane). It reminded him of two different articles. Both Don and Ben were glad Delta had a plan, even if they didn’t quite agree with the whole plan. Don then wanted to ask Ben about a Meatingplace article by Richard Raymond entitled Is our food safer than five years ago? (free registration needed to read). Ben explained why he didn’t agree with Richard’s arguments. Don agreed and asked aloud about conspiracy theories, not dissimilar from those surrounding New Coke. Don then wanted get Ben’s take on the IFT’s March 2013 media update. In fact both Ben and Don thought that these updates were way over the top and it reminded them of "The louder he talked of his honor, the faster we counted our spoons” and Doug Powell’s comment on Barfblog “I'm immediately suspicious of people … who say trust me.” Ben especially didn’t like that organizations say “trust us” and without telling people what the risks are and why they should be trusted. The discussion of food processing reminded Don of Richard Wrangham’s great book "Catching Fire: How Cooking Made Us Human.” The last thing on Ben’s agenda was Doug’s comparison between the porn industry and the food industry, which had resulted in a fair bit of backlash against the legendary Doug. Ben noted that Doug’s point was how the two industries differed in how they manage the risks, which people missed. And boy… you mention porn and people get excited.
