Schon in 25 Jahren könnte unsere Ernährung ganz anders aussehen. Welche Rolle spielen neue Produkte für gesundes und nachhaltiges Essen? Die Forschung ist sich sicher: Wir werden unsere Ernährung umstellen müssen, denn unser Planet zeigt schon jetzt die Grenzen der Lebensmittelproduktion auf - vor allem tierische Proteine müssen teilweise ersetzt werden. Aber auch unsere Böden sind bald nicht mehr für intensiven landwirtschaftlichen Anbau geeignet. Synapsen-Autorin Nele Rößler hat sich erklären lassen, warum unser Mehl künftig auch aus Insekten gemacht sein könnte und wie Fischfilets aus Stammzellen wachsen. Im Gespräch mit Host Korinna Hennig erläutert sie verschiedene Ernährungs-Szenarien, die in der Politik schon jetzt diskutiert werden - und was das für unsere Gesundheit bedeutet.

In der zweiten Folge der fünften Staffel dreht sich alles um Moral. Genauer gesagt um die Frage, ob Sprache einen Einfluss darauf hat, wie wir uns bei moralisch schwierigen Dilemmata entscheiden. Eine Eigenschaft solcher Dilemmata ist schließlich, dass sie gut durchdacht und ausgewogen überlegt werden müssen, bevor wir zu einer Entscheidung kommen – da sollte die Sprache, in der wir ein solches Dilemma durchdenken, doch keinen Einfluss auf unsere Entscheidung haben … oder etwa doch?In dieser Folge tauchen wir in den „Moral Foreign Language Effect“ ein und schauen uns an, wie stark Sprache unsere moralischen Entscheidungen beeinflussen kann. Und Spoiler: Diesen Effekt gibt es wirklich! Ob du zweisprachig aufgewachsen bist oder gerade erst eine neue Sprache lernst – wir besprechen, wie deine sprachliche Umgebung deine Entscheidungen subtil lenken kann und welche Ursachen für diese Beobachtung diskutiert werden.Ein Podcast von Jakob und Anton.Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/sprachpfade ---Zitierte Studien:Čavar, Franziska & Agnieszka Ewa Tytus. 2018.

Logos do more than identify a brand—they shape how we experience it. In this episode, Qing Tang, Assistant Professor of Marketing at Hong Kong Baptist University, discusses research she and her colleagues published in the International Journal of Research in Marketing on logo design and perceptions of luxury. While many companies have shifted toward clean, minimalist logos, research findings reveal that more complex designs can actually heighten perceptions of exclusivity and craftsmanship. The conversation examines the trade-offs between luxury and approachability, why some brands revert to older, more intricate logos, and how logo design choices play out across industries and digital platforms. Whether you're managing an established luxury house or building a new brand, this episode offers evidence-based insights into how subtle visual cues influence consumer judgment—and why logo redesigns deserve more strategic consideration than they often receive.

For years, we've been told that vegan and vegetarian diets "require careful planning" to be healthy — while omnivorous diets get a free pass. But is that really true? In this episode of The Exam Room Podcast, host Chuck Carroll sits down with Dr. Matt Nagra to discuss his new peer-reviewed study published in the International Journal of Disease Reversal and Prevention: "Asymmetrical Dietary Guidance: Reassessing the 'Careful Planning' Caveat in Vegetarian and Vegan Diets." You'll also hear why some vegans experience a slightly higher fracture risk, what's really behind that finding, and how simple nutrition strategies can easily close the gap. In this conversation, you'll learn: What new research reveals about vegan, vegetarian, and omnivorous diets How omnivorous diets often miss critical nutrients for long-term health The role of vitamin B12, vitamin D, and calcium in plant-based nutrition Why all diets require thoughtful planning to meet nutrient needs The real reason vegans may have a higher fracture risk — and how to prevent it How language in nutrition guidelines may unintentionally stigmatize plant-based diets Listen and learn how balanced nutrition guidance can improve health outcomes for everyone — and why reframing the conversation around "careful planning" could change the future of public health.

War, and the threat of war, spurs governments to invest in secret military technologies and weapons. Imperial Japan, ahead of the Second World War, was no exception. After the First World War, Japan set up the Noborito Research Institute: a division of scientists and technicians to invest in overt and clandestine warfare. Stephen Mercado dives into this history in his new book Japanese Spy Gear and Special Weapons: How Noborito's Scientists and Technicians Served in the Second World War and the Cold War (Pen & Sword Books: 2025). At Noborito, Japanese scientists researched fanciful weapons, like balloon bombs and death rays; covert techniques like poisons and counterfeiting—and more insidious activities, like biological weapons. Stephen Mercado, the author of The Shadow Warriors of Nakano: A History of the Imperial Japanese Army's Elite Intelligence School, has also written a dozen articles and several dozen book reviews on Asian and open-source intelligence. His writing has appeared in the journals Intelligence and National Security, International Journal of Intelligence and Counter Intelligence, Studies in Intelligence and on the website 38 North of the Henry L. Stimson Center. His translations include numerous declassified Chinese and Japanese diplomatic documents published as part of the Woodrow Wilson Center's Cold War International History Project. Retired from the CIA Open Source Enterprise, he has twice won a CIA Studies in Intelligence award for his writings. He is also a frequent contributor to the Asian Review of Books.

Amy and Margaret discuss why kids become intensely obsessed with the things they love—whether it's dinosaurs, Pokémon, sharks, or Spider-Man—and how those fascinations manifest throughout their childhoods. They explore the developmental benefits of "intense interests," from mastery and comfort to confidence and identity. They break down when an obsession is typical and when it may need gentle guidance. Finally, they discuss how to connect with kids through their intense interests—and then use them as bridges to broaden kids' horizons. Correction! Comedian Sasha Baron-Cohen and psychologist Simon Baron-Cohen are neither siblings (as Amy claims in the episode nor uncle/nephew (as Margaret believed); they are first cousins.

Research has consistently found that maintaining a healthy balance between work and other areas of life often requires people to establish and maintain boundaries those various areas. Yet as humans we might also be curious or indeed nosy about the people we are working with or who might be working for us – if only just to find out a little bit more about them. But what actually is nosiness and when might that be perceived to have gone too far?To explore the question of nosiness I am delighted to be joined by Professor Richard Currie.About our guest…Dr. Richard Currie is an Assistant Professor of Leadership and Workplace Psychology in the School of Hospitality Administration at Boston University.Dr. Currie's research interests center around work-related social stressors and the implications that employees' responses to these stressors have on critical organizational knowledge management outcomes such as knowledge sharing and counterproductive knowledge hiding behaviors.You can find out more about Richard's work at these links:Google Scholar – https://scholar.google.com/citations?user=Qqxawt8AAAAJ&hl=en&oi=aoBoston University – https://www.bu.edu/hospitality/profile/richard-a-currie/LinkedIn – https://www.linkedin.com/in/racurrie/Some of the articles discussed in the interview include the following:Currie, R.

In interwar Paris, the encounter between surrealism and the nascent discipline of ethnology led to an intellectual project now known as “ethnographic surrealism.” Joyce Suechun Cheng considers the ethnographic dimension of the surrealist movement in its formative years in her new book The Persistence of Masks: Surrealism and the Ethnography of the Subject, the inaugural volume in the University of Minnesota Press's Surrealisms series. By broadening the scope of ethnographic surrealism, Cheng offers new insights that challenge longstanding beliefs about this multifaceted movement in poetry, the arts, and culture. Here, Cheng is joined in conversation with Surrealisms series editor Jonathan Eburne.Joyce Cheng is associate professor of art history at the University of Oregon and author of The Persistence of Masks: Surrealism and the Ethnography of the Subject.Jonathan Eburne is J. H. Hexter Professor in the Humanities at Washington University in St. Louis.

Dr. Erik Goodwyn is a practising psychiatrist with a background in neurobiology who bridges the worlds of neuroscience, Jungian psychology, and fantasy. Erik is co-editor-in-chief of the International Journal of Jungian Studies and as well as dozens of academic papers he has written books on the neurobiology of the gods, dreams, and archetypes, and this year published his first fantasy novel, King of the Forgotten Darkness, which won the Literary Titan Golden Book Award.You can find Erik's work at:Website: https://erikgoodwyn.comYouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@theimaginariumIn this conversation, I sit down with Erik to explore the neuroscience of dreams and their connection to creativity, trauma, and healing. We dive deep into how the default mode network operates during dreaming, why dreams create "as if" narratives to help us make sense of our lives, and how the psyche uses metaphor to consolidate memory, regulate emotions, and plan for the future. Erik shares fascinating insights from his clinical work, including how trauma dreams evolve during the healing process and why some dreams seem to bookend creative projects. We also venture into the realm of fantasy literature, discussing how writers like Tolkien and Sanderson use fantastical elements to tell deeply human stories about real lived experiences.⏳Timestamps00:00 James's Intro01:31 Beginning: Wyoming, Mountain Time, and writing fantasy03:24 Architects vs. Gardeners: Erik's writing process08:16 The divine child archetype in therapy dreams09:13 "as if": how dreams create meaning through metaphor11:58 Dreams in crisis mode vs. exploratory mode (PTSD example)15:08 Memory consolidation and forward planning in dreams16:37 The default mode network during dreaming19:32 Creativity and the default mode network24:19 Dream sequences: Exploration of themes across multiple dreams29:27 The body's natural healing process through dreams40:58 Ernest Hartman and contextualizing metaphors42:14 What is fantasy really about?

In this October Beekeeping Today Podcast Short, Dr. Dewey Caron returns from Apimondia in Copenhagen and the Washington State Beekeepers Association Conference with another Audio Postcard—this time exploring the long-debated topic of condensing versus ventilated hives. Dewey discusses three levels of communication central to his monthly series: bee scientist to beekeeper, beekeeper to bee, and bee to bee. Drawing on the work of Dr. Tom Seeley and Derek Mitchell of the University of Leeds, he examines how wild colonies regulate temperature and moisture in tree cavities compared to modern Langstroth hives. Listeners will hear Dewey explain the difference between a condensing hive—which retains heat and manages moisture through top insulation—and a ventilated hive, which uses airflow and upper vents to remove humidity. He walks through the pros and cons of each, including the energy cost to bees, honey consumption, and overwintering success. The episode concludes with fascinating insights into heater bees, as first described by Jürgen Tautz, showing how worker bees actively warm brood cells during cold months. Dewey ties it all together with his signature reminder: there's no single right way to keep bees—only the approach that works best for you and your colonies.

For this bonus episode of the Alternate Ending podcast, Tim is once again joined by film scholar Will Quade, author of the recent article "We Accuse: Antisemitism and Historical Remembrance in the Films of the Dreyfus Affair" published in The International Journal of the Image. They're here to discuss the remarkable path to distribution of the controversial 2019 Roman Polanski film An Officer and a Spy, which has only just received a North American release in the fall of 2025. Together, they explore questions of the conflicting politics driving the film's delayed release, the conflicting politics within the film itself, and the reasons why the film itself forces a reckoning with the complicated and unpleasant questions it raises.

Today's episode is a can't-miss if you work with children with developmental language disorder (DLD) or developmental language delays. I'm sharing my #1 most powerful responsive language strategy—one that works with every child on your caseload, regardless of temperament. We're going beyond basic expansions and simple recasts. Instead, I'll show you how to transform simple sentences into complex ones by adding finite clauses—what I like to call “clausing.” You'll hear about peer-reviewed research from: Gillian Steel et al. (2016) – demonstrating how complex sentence deficits persist in DLD. Amanda Owen Van Horne et al. (2023) – showing how targeting complex sentences drives broader language gains, including grammatical morphology. You'll also learn practical ways to apply “clausing” during play, art, snack time, and book reading without memorizing verb lists or forcing structure—just natural, responsive modeling that works.

What happens when people report real hearing difficulties, but their audiograms show “normal” results?In this episode, Brian Taylor speaks with Dr. Brittan Barker and Dr. Aryn Kamerer from Utah State University about their recent research on adults with unexplained hearing concerns. Despite normal test results, many of these individuals struggle with everyday communication, particularly in noisy environments. The discussion explores patient experiences, the clinical “conundrum” faced by audiologists, and why listening to patient narratives is critical for improving careDiscover the three major themes from their study: dismissive healthcare experiences, misaligned testing methods, and the lengths patients go to find answers. The conversation highlights how clinicians can take practical steps toward more person-centered care and better outcomes.**link to their recently published research in the International Journal of Audiology can be found here: https://www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.1080/14992027.2024.2404150Be sure to subscribe to our channel for the latest episodes each week and follow This Week in Hearing on LinkedIn, Instagram and X.- https://x.com/WeekinHearing- https://www.instagram.com/thisweekinhearing/- https://www.linkedin.com/company/this-week-in-hearingVisit us at: https://hearinghealthmatters.org/thisweek/

Are calm corners helping students regulate... or just giving them a softer way to opt out? In this episode of Graded, I take a hard look at one of the most popular SEL approaches in schools today: calm corners. You'll hear what the research says, what most campuses are getting wrong, and what grade calm corners really deserve.Plus, I respond to a one-star podcast review that called me condescending and gave me a D-minus.(I could NOT be more grateful!

We live in a culture obsessed with treating symptoms, weight gain, fatigue, high blood pressure, brain fog, poor sleep, as if each were an isolated problem. But what if these struggles aren't the problem at all? What if they're just the flashing check engine lights on the dashboard of your body, pointing to a deeper issue that's been hiding in plain sight: Metabolic Disease. In this episode, Dr. JC Doornick pulls back the curtain on why nearly every chronic health crisis in America today — from obesity and Type 2 diabetes to heart disease, hypertension, and even dementia — can be traced back to metabolic dysfunction. He explains how the healthcare industry profits from keeping us stuck in a never-ending cycle of pills, injections, and quick fixes, rather than empowering us to address the root cause upstream. You'll also learn about Metabolic Synchronization — a practical, upstream approach that helps realign the body and mind through five key foundations: Proper diet & nutrition Proper movement & muscle development Proper sleep Proper education & mental detox Proper community & support This episode is a wake-up call: the lights are flashing, and the choice is yours. Will you keep patching symptoms downstream, or will you finally pop the hood and reclaim control of your health, your mind, and your future?

“I think that the comparison [between political and erotic passions]  is related to the danger of transgressing boundaries from the side of the analyst. It's not totally the same, but it's because of the emotions and the danger of being too much involved as an analyst, if you don't pay attention to what is happening in ourselves with our own emotions, then it can be similar. I think both are important for the psychoanalytic process, to see it as a real relationship - there is this setting where two people in the room meet. They are real persons, but at the same time, a kind of dramatic play fantasy creation coming up from fantasies of the patient, and our own reactions as analysts come into play and gradually just build up the story that is mainly related to the patient's biography, the patient's relationships, and what's going on in her or his life at the moment, but now in relation with us.”   Episode Description: We recognize the passionate political world we are living in and the challenges it introduces into the psychoanalytic relationship. Such moments of intense personal conviction challenge the clinician's capacity to hold those convictions, allow the same for the analysand and still locate an analytic surface with which to find additional meanings. Heribert feels that this creates opportunities for intensity akin to "erotic-sexual impulses." He discusses clinical encounters that include his "revealing my assessment of reality" as an aspect of his authentic self living in relation to the patient. He presents the case of a young man whose effort to locate his analyst's "soft spot" entailed provoking him with his idealization of Hitler. Unlike the patient's father who turned away from him at such times, his analyst  tolerated "my required countertransference" which enabled the patient to recognize and tolerate his  tender longings that had lived disguised in his sado-masochistic preoccupations. We close with Heribert, the new IPA president, sharing his vision of  psychoanalysis having a presence beyond the couch in universities and the community at large.   Our Guest: Heribert Blass, Dr. Med. (MD), Psychoanalyst and training analyst for adults, children and adolescents, member of the German Psychoanalytic Association and IPA (DPV/IPA), also specialist of psychosomatic medicine and psychotherapy, psychiatry, working in private practice in Düsseldorf, Germany. Since August 2025 President of the International Psychoanalytical Association (IPA). From 2020 to 20204 President of the European Psychoanalytical Federation (EPF). He has published on the image of the father, male identity and sexuality, gender dysphoria and transidentities, aspects of thought function in the psychoanalytic process and in the institution, psychoanalytic supervision, psychoanalysis in society and as editor of a book on Time and the Experience of Time (first in German, the English publication will follow soon) about the exchange of psychoanalysis with other sciences.   Recommended Readings: Blass, H.

It's now available as 'open access' for all followers!Speculative Frequencies: A Mixed Bag of Mysticism, Music & Mystery This ‘mixed bag' episode dives into four rich and provocative topics:*Occulture & Re-enchantment: A look at the Revenant Journal's editorial on “The Occult,” exploring how mystical practices challenge dominant paradigms and foster cultural resistance through feminist, queer, and neurodiverse lenses. *Lux Interna's Sonic Rituals: Reflections on a multimedia salon by the band Lux Interna, whose music and scholarship invoke desert mysticism, spiritual reckoning, and mythic storytelling. Includes themes of embodiment, wildness, and devotional resistance. *Feminist Witchcraft & Counter-Theology: A deep dive into Lolly Willowes and Satanic Feminism, examining how occult symbolism reclaims feminine autonomy and spiritual sovereignty. Plus, how rock music channels occult motifs for identity and transformation. *Forgotten Languages & Anomalous Cognition: A speculative exploration of the enigmatic website Forgotten Languages, its ties to CCRU theory-fiction, and psychological research on UAP witnesses. Themes include encrypted knowledge, post-human communication, and linguistic alienation. This episode has examined the intersections of sonic ritual, feminist resistance, and anomalous cognition through diverse cultural and theoretical lenses. From speculative philosophy to experiential narratives, these perspectives challenge dominant epistemologies and invite reconsideration of the boundaries between the real and the imagined. Future dialogues may benefit from interdisciplinary synthesis and critical engagement with the margins of knowledge. If you enjoyed this mixed bag, and would like to have more episodes like this, please let me know! I can certainly provide more content like this in the future. PROGRAM NOTESRevenantIntroduction : RevenantLux Internanews — Lux Internalux.interna | Instagram, Facebook | Linktree"From My Body Alone Do I Know This": Sacrament & Scripture as Technologies of the Self in the Work of Jacob BöhmeLolly Willowes | Project GutenbergSatanic Feminism: Lucifer as the Liberator of Woman in Nineteenth-Century Culture | Oxford AcademicSeason of the Witch: How the Occult Saved Rock and Roll: Bebergal, Peter: 9780399174964: Amazon.com: BooksForgotten Languages Full: Books 2022-2025The Deepest Internet Mystery You've Never Heard Of (and Why It's Now in the Congressional Record) - YouTubeCcru- cybernetic culture research unitCcru - CCRU WikiPsychological aspects in unidentified anomalous phenomena (UAP) witnesses | International Journal of Astrobiology | Cambridge Core  Interviews with Bob Cluness and David Metcalfe can be found in the Rejected Religion Patreon Library. www.patreon.com/RejectedReligion All Music by Daniel P.

 The Sun is our very own well behaved star. It rises and sets in our sky every day and powers and makes possible all life forms on planet Earth. A new appreciation for our Sun is growing as we learn more about other suns and their families of planets. The Trappist-1 system of 7 planets orbits a dim M type red dwarf star about 40 light years away in the constellation of Aquarius.Recently, Dr. Manasvi Lingam and Dr. Abraham Loeb of Harvard University have calculated the likelihood that planets orbiting red dwarf stars are able to possess an atmosphere conducive to life. They report, in a recently published a paper in the International Journal of Astrobiology that the planet Trappist 1-e is more than 100 times less likely to be habitable than is the Earth. Another group from Harvard and the University of Massachusetts at Lowell, headed up by Dr. Cecilia Garraffo also find the Trappist-1 planets to be a tough place to live. These researchers add that the close proximity of these planets to their host star put them at risk of having their atmospheres stripped off by high stellar winds and their surfaces bombarded with high energy particles and electromagnetic radiation. Go outside today and enjoy some gentle sunshine from our well behaved star.

If you've ever doubted your ability to make muscle mass and strength gains after menopause, this episode is for you. It's not too late to gain strength and lean muscle mass can be gained at any age—even after 85.   Based on a 2024 Study on Resistance Training in Older Adults by Int. Journal of Sports Nutrition & Exercise Metabolism, here's what happened and the results: Participants:  17 adults aged 65–75. 12 adults aged 85+. Program:  Duration: 12 weeks, 3x per week Structure: Warm-up  4 lower body sets 3 upper body exercises (2 sets each) Stretching Results: Quadriceps strength increased in all participants 65–75 group: 1–18%  85+ group: 6–21%  1RM leg extension increased in all participants 65–75 group: 38% ± 20%  85+ group: 46% ± 14%  Improvements were seen in lean mass, strength and functional activities like chair stands, gait speed, timed up-and-go.   Defining Muscle Mass and Strength Gains After Menopause Exercise intensity is based on decreasing repetitions to muscular fatigue.  Exercise volume is based on the number of sets.   Considerations for Exercise Volume in Women in Menopause Volume = sets x reps x weight or total weekly workload. Start small (1–2 sets, 2x per week if inactive). Build to 3x only once consistent. Balance recovery: not just alternating workout/rest days, but also factoring in life stress. Menopausal women may need 48–72 hours between resistance sessions, per muscle group.   For women post menopause; increasing the number of days per week to reach greater exercise volume can be problematic because of the need for balance with recovery days. We don't mean 1 day work, 1 day rest. It can mean 1 day of high intensity work and 2 or 3 days light or moderate exercise for another type for recovery.   Start Your Strength Gains After Menopause The beginning phases of exercise should last longer for a woman starting in her 60s or 70s. Muscle, ligaments and tendons collectively are not as resilient at 60 as they were at 20. Since most early improvements are due to neural adaptations and heavier weights don't accelerate that, progress at a pace so you know you've exercised muscles but aren't sore or uncomfortable. You're in this for life. There's time.   The adaptive response to resistance training is preserved even in males and females over 85.   Protein & Resistance Training Two drivers of muscle protein synthesis: Resistance Training Adequate Protein. For metabolic health: ~100g/day (for 160 lb woman). For optimal fitness: closer to 160g/day. Protein recommendation for a 160lb adult is 60 grams of protein day. Only 46% of older adults get that.   5-Step Protein & Resistance Training Process: Track your current protein intake. Compare with recommendations based on age, weight, activity. Identify gaps without judgment. Close the gap gradually. Set short-term goals, especially starting with breakfast protein.   Muscle Mass and Strength Gains After Menopause are Dependent On… Relative Strength Training Power decreased significantly after the age of 50 years and was negatively and strongly associated with mobility limitations.   Mobility & Longevity Connection Strength must be paired with mobility to prevent limitations. Key focus areas: ankles, hips, upper back. Loss of mobility = harder to regain later. More… much more on mobility in upcoming posts.

Those long, unpronounceable ingredients at the bottom of food labels—what are they really doing to your health? In this episode, we're joined by Professor Marion Nestle, a world-leading nutrition expert and author of the groundbreaking book ‘Food Politics'. Marion has spent decades exposing how powerful food companies influence what ends up on our plates — and how little regulation may stand in their way. We dive into the hidden world of food additives and the regulatory systems meant to protect us. While the U.S. allows companies to self-certify ingredients as “safe” without independent FDA approval, Europe and the UK take a stricter approach. But does stricter always mean safer? Marion unpacks how these systems differ, which substances might be harming our health, and what consumers can do to reduce their risk. We explore what the science says about additives, inflammation, gut health, and more. Unwrap the truth about your food
