In this episode, we're joined by Gaelen McCormick, President of the International Society of Bassists, to discuss her groundbreaking book Teaching Violin, Viola, Cello, and Double Bass: Historical and Modern Pedagogical Practices, co-authored with Dijana Ihas and Miranda Wilson. Gaelen shares insights on the historical development of bass pedagogy and how teaching methods have evolved over centuries. We explore the fascinating evolution of bass pedagogy from 1800 to the present day, with special focus on how George Vance and Hal Robinson's Double Bass Project revolutionized bass education. We also discuss the valuable transferable skills that musicians develop through bass playing and apply to other professional contexts, along with examining the significant leap forward in teaching methodologies that has occurred since 2000.   Subscribe to the podcast to get these interviews delivered to you automatically!   Connect with us: all things double bass double bass merch double bass sheet music   Thank you to our sponsors!

In our "summer of drugs" series, we're continuing with research and information on mushrooms, a natural component which can affect our receptors by lowering inhibitory proteins and increasing excitatory, which has records that date back to the Aztecs.We explore the research and break down a presentation given at the ISWSH or the International Society for the Study of Women's Sexual Health discussing potential sexual health benefits of mushrooms.Admittedly, in our lifetime it would be surprising to see enough research-backed evidence for this substance to be able to be prescribed, but it is interesting to consider the benefits micro-dosing may have in general.We can't wait to hear what you think!

We begin to unravel one of the most complex and timely topics in the global energy landscape. Whether you're a student, a policy maker, a professional in the energy sector, or simply an engaged global citizen, this episode promises to broaden your horizons and foster informed dialogue.As countries strive to decarbonize their energy sectors, the debate over nuclear power becomes increasingly vital. Nuclear energy offers a unique combination of high-capacity generation and low carbon emissions, positioning it as a potential linchpin in the global effort to combat climate change. However, high-profile accidents, long-lived waste, and economic considerations give rise to legitimate concerns. This discussion aims to navigate these complexities with clarity and candor and provide Alliance stakeholders with a strong background from which to further explore the topic. Christopher Juniper provides a balanced examination of nuclear power, highlighting both its transformative potential and the valid concerns it raises. He addresses the following key areas:· The Basics and Lifecycle of Nuclear Energy: How does nuclear power work? What is fission, and how is electricity generated from uranium or thorium?· Advantages of Nuclear Energy: Explore the compelling benefits, from low greenhouse gas emissions to high energy density, reliability, and potential for innovation in reactor design.· Drawbacks and Risks: Delve into the challenges, including extraction of uranium, radioactive waste, safety concerns, high upfront costs, and public perception. · Future Outlook: A look at emerging technologies, such as small modular reactors and fusion energy, and their potential to reshape the energy landscape.· Colorado Connection: Understanding the potential implications for Colorado. · Interactive Q&A Session: Bring your questions and perspectives for an engaging dialogue.Christopher Juniper, a Colorado native and Colorado College graduate, has tracked nuclear power for nearly 50 years as a sustainability economist, consultant, activist, and college instructor. He created the Sustainability Performance Lifecycle Management System in 2003 that his team used to evaluate energy sources available to the Pikes Peak region 2009-2011. He has served on the Colorado Springs Utilities' EIRP technical advisory committee; co-authored certification study guides for the International Society of Sustainability Professionals; authored book chapters on climate risk economics; and served international sustainability-related projects and non-profit boards.This episode was recorded at the Sustainability in Progress (SIP) virtual event on August 20, 2025.

The relationship between science and religion has long been a heated debate and is becoming an ever more popular topic. The scientific capacity to manipulate and change humans and their environment through genetic engineering, life extension, and AI is going to take a huge leap forward in the twenty-first century, provoking endless debates around humans “playing God”. But what do we mean by this? Asking this question is surprisingly hard work. Attempts to 'essentialise' science, let alone religion, quickly run into trouble. Where are the boundaries? Whose definition of science is definitive? Which concept of religious is the authoritative one? Ultimately, neither “science” nor “religion” can be pinned down to one single meaning or definition. Rather, they encompass a family of definitions that relate to one another in a complex web of shifting ways. Drawing on extensive research with over a hundred leading thinkers in the UK — including Martin Rees, Brian Cox, Susan Greenfield, A.C. Grayling, Ray Tallis, Linda Woodhead, Steve Bruce, Adam Rutherford, Robin Dunbar, Francesca Stavrakopoulou, and Iain McGilchrist — The Landscapes of Science and Religion takes the much-needed step of asking what science and religion actually are, before turning to the familiar question of how they relate to one another. Building on this, by paying particular attention to those who sense some form of conflict here, Spencer and Waite explore where the perceived conflict really lies. What exactly are people disagreeing about when they disagree about science and religion, and what, if anything, can we do to improve that disagreement and bring about a fruitful dialogue between these two important human endeavours. Nicholas Spencer is Senior Fellow at Theos, a Fellow of the International Society for Science and Religion and a Visiting Research Fellow at Goldsmiths, University of London. He is the author of a number of books including Darwin and God, The Evolution of the West and Atheists.

The relationship between science and religion has long been a heated debate and is becoming an ever more popular topic. The scientific capacity to manipulate and change humans and their environment through genetic engineering, life extension, and AI is going to take a huge leap forward in the twenty-first century, provoking endless debates around humans “playing God”. But what do we mean by this? Asking this question is surprisingly hard work. Attempts to 'essentialise' science, let alone religion, quickly run into trouble. Where are the boundaries? Whose definition of science is definitive? Which concept of religious is the authoritative one? Ultimately, neither “science” nor “religion” can be pinned down to one single meaning or definition. Rather, they encompass a family of definitions that relate to one another in a complex web of shifting ways.

In the last 2 episodes we covered new updates in menopausal hormone therapy. However, we did not address TESTOSTERONE use. This episode idea comes from one our podcast family members and good friend, Eric. Eric is 100% correct: Testosterone replacement, when done correctly, has come along way. When is this indicated? Is this endorsed by professional medical/endocrine groups? What's the dose? We have fun stuff to review, so listen in!1.

It's Wednesday, August 20th, A.D. 2025. This is The Worldview in 5 Minutes heard on 140 radio stations and at www.TheWorldview.com.  I'm Adam McManus. (Adam@TheWorldview.com) By Jonathan Clark Muslim Nigerians killed 7,000 Christians this year A Nigerian-based nonprofit reports Islamic extremists have killed over 7,000 Christians in the country so far this year. The International Society for Civil Liberties and Rule of Law also found that nearly 8,000 Christians were violently seized and abducted.  The report notes this translates into “an average of 30 Christian deaths per day and more than one per hour.” Since 2009, Jihadists in Nigeria have killed over 125,000 Christians and destroyed nearly 20,000 church buildings.  Please pray for our brothers and sisters in Christ in Nigeria. The country is ranked seventh on the Open Doors' World Watch List of the most difficult countries to be a Christian.  Psalm 14:4 asks, “Have all the workers of iniquity no knowledge, who eat up my people as they eat bread, and do not call on the LORD?” Absurd charges dropped against Scottish pro-life grandmother Authorities in Scotland dropped charges against a 75-year-old grandmother who was arrested for holding a sign near an abortion mill.  Back in February, Rose Docherty held a sign that read: “Coercion is a crime, here to talk, only if you want.” Officials arrested her for violating a “buffer zone” law that restricts free expression near abortion mills. Docherty reacted to her case being dropped. She said, “This is a victory not just for me, but for everyone in Scotland who believes we should be free to hold a peaceful conversation.” Conservative Canadian Pierre Poilievre wins election In Canada, Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre (pronounced PAH-lee-ev) won a special election in the province of Alberta on Monday.  Poilievre heads back to Canada's parliament after losing his seat earlier this year. He will continue his work as the opposition leader against Canada's ruling Liberal Party. Listen to comments from Poilievre. POILIEVRE: “We will work together. We will fight together. We will sacrifice together to restore the opportunity that our grandparents left for us, so that we can leave it for our grandchildren, so that we can once again restore a country that is strong, self-reliant and sovereign. That is why we stay united. That is why we go forward. May God keep our land glorious and free.” Trump wants to end mail-in ballots In the United States, President Donald Trump said Monday that he wants to end mail-in ballots as well as voting machines. Listen to comments from Trump.  TRUMP:  “You can never have a real democracy with mail in ballots. We, as a Republican Party, are going to do everything possible that we get rid of mail-in ballots. We're going to start with an executive order, that's being written right now by the best lawyers in the country, to end mail-in ballots because they're corrupt.” Trump wrote on Truth Social, “With their HORRIBLE Radical Left policies, like Open Borders, Men Playing in Women's Sports, Transgender and ‘WOKE' for everyone, and so much more, Democrats are virtually Unelectable without using this completely disproven Mail-In SCAM.” Bank of America will stop "debanking" conservatives The New York Post reports that Bank of America scrapped a rule used to “debank” conservatives. Major banks have also used the rule to deny services to religious groups, especially Evangelical ones.  JP Morgan Chase dropped the rule last year. Bank of America finally followed suit.  Jeremy Tedesco with Alliance Defending Freedom said, “Over the past two years, ADF and our partners in both the private and public sectors have repeatedly engaged with Bank of America's leadership to advocate for this change.” Fewer Americans are moving The Wall Street Journal reports that U.S. domestic migration rates are down. Only 7.9% of Americans relocated to a new town or city last year, down from about 20% in the 1950s and 60s. The rate has been steadily declining since then. People are also moving less within their own county. That rate is down 47% over the past three decades.  The falling domestic migration rates are associated with high mortgage rates, dual-income households, an aging population, and remote job opportunities.  Church-engaged Christians have less stress, anxiety, and loneliness And finally, the American Bible Society released the fifth chapter of its State of Bible: USA 2025 report. The chapter measured church engagement as the level of a person's involvement in the life, mission, and community of a local church. Only 34% of self-identified Christians attend church weekly. In terms of generations, Gen Z had the lowest levels of church engagement. Women, married people, Evangelicals, and people in small cities were more likely to be highly engaged with their church. John Plake with the American Bible Society said, “Our survey shows that church-engaged Christians have significantly less stress, less anxiety, less loneliness, and more hope.” Hebrews 10:24-25 says, “And let us consider one another in order to stir up love and good works, not forsaking the assembling of ourselves together, as is the manner of some, but exhorting one another, and so much the more as you see the Day approaching.” Close And that's The Worldview on this Wednesday, August 20th, in the year of our Lord 2025. Follow us on X or subscribe for free by Spotify, Amazon Music, or by iTunes or email to our unique Christian newscast at www.TheWorldview.com.  I'm Adam McManus (Adam@TheWorldview.com).

Today, we have such a great opportunity. The world is in disarray because they have forgotten that Kṛṣṇa is Satyam, the supreme truth, and that life becomes simple if we simply follow his instructions and don't try to invent anything new. Just be a devotee. Think of Kṛṣṇa. Worship Kṛṣṇa. Bolo Kṛṣṇa, Bhajo Kṛṣṇa, and teach Kṛṣṇa consciousness to everybody. So, thank you very much for being such dedicated devotees. It's very powerful, and it's good news for Silicon Valley that we're all here today, creating this vortex of spiritual power. So today, all day long, we'll be engaged in devotional activities. Thank goodness nobody can get to us. You always say, "Sorry, I'm busy. I've got to park cars." "Sorry, I'm busy. I've got to wash the floor." "Sorry, I'm busy." Just be busy all day in Kṛṣṇa's service: hearing, chanting, śravaṇaṁ, kīrtanaṁ. Sweepnam, mopanam... Yeah, if you want to make real advancement, sweepnam, mopanam, and go for the restrooms. Go for the parking lot. Pick up the trash, clean everything. And we want to also welcome all the people who come here throughout the day. You're all stalwarts. That's why you're here at Maṅgal Ārti. So you're deputized to be one of the nicest people on Earth today to everyone who comes here. Just be a kind friend. Give them a smile, give them a welcome. Help them see the deities before you see them. Let's extend ourselves to everyone and bring people closer to Kṛṣṇa, which is the mission of the International Society for Kṛṣṇa Consciousness. ------------------------------------------------------------ To connect with His Grace Vaiśeṣika Dāsa, please visit https://www.fanthespark.com/next-steps/ask-vaisesika-dasa/ ------------------------------------------------------------ Add to your wisdom literature collection: https://iskconsv.com/book-store/ https://www.bbtacademic.com/books/ https://thefourquestionsbook.com/ ------------------------------------------------------------ Join us live on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/FanTheSpark/ Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/sound-bhakti/id1132423868 For the latest videos, subscribe https://www.youtube.com/@FanTheSpark For the latest in SoundCloud: https://soundcloud.com/fan-the-spark ------------------------------------------------------------ #spiritualawakening #soul #spiritualexperience #spiritualpurposeoflife #spiritualgrowthlessons #secretsofspirituality #vaisesikaprabhu #vaisesikadasa #vaisesikaprabhulectures #spirituality #bhaktiyoga #krishna #spiritualpurposeoflife #krishnaspirituality #spiritualusachannel #whybhaktiisimportant #whyspiritualityisimportant #vaisesika #spiritualconnection #thepowerofspiritualstudy #selfrealization #spirituallectures #spiritualstudy #spiritualquestions #spiritualquestionsanswered #trendingspiritualtopics #fanthespark #spiritualpowerofmeditation #spiritualteachersonyoutube #spiritualhabits #spiritualclarity #bhagavadgita #srimadbhagavatam #spiritualbeings #kttvg #keepthetranscendentalvibrationgoing #spiritualpurpose

The promise of advanced cell therapies is undeniable, but as demand skyrockets, the challenges of taking a living drug from bench to bedside have never been greater. Each batch brings variability, each jurisdiction adds regulatory hurdles, and every strategic decision can determine whether a lifesaving therapy reaches patients or fizzles out behind clinical barriers.Lindsay Davies is a leading figure in the cell and gene therapy field, serving as Vice President-Elect for Europe at the International Society of Cell and Gene Therapy (ISCT). She is Chief Scientific Officer at NextCell Pharma, co-founder of QVance, and founder of the consultancy CellTherEx. With over 20 years of experience across academia and industry, she brings deep expertise in MSC manufacturing, process development, and commercialization of advanced therapies. Here are three reasons this episode is a must-listen:Manufacturing at Scale, Without Compromise: Lindsay shares why NextCell Pharma has stuck with large-scale 2D manufacturing for MSCs, leveraging cell morphology and a patented donor selection algorithm to reduce batch-to-batch variability while maximizing reproducibility and safety, even when treating hundreds from a single batch.Smart Scaling: Up, Out, or Both? The debate isn't just academic. Lindsay explores when it makes sense to scale up processes versus scaling out to multiple manufacturing sites. She highlights how harmonizing global regulatory expectations and moving to closed 2D systems can lower costs, de-risk production, and bring life-changing therapies to more patients worldwide.Network or Nowhere: Lindsay calls out the myth of the lone innovator, championing the crucial role of strategic networking, partnership models, including “sweat equity”, and early regulatory engagement as keys to avoiding the common commercialization pitfalls that stall so many promising ATMPs.Wondering how to navigate the twin challenges of process control and commercial viability in ATMP development?

Armida hopes to write stories that shed light on second-language learners' academic and emotional challenges, meeting them where they are and validating their reality. Armida hopes that second language learners might glean insight from her experiences on how to walk through their fears and insecurities in life by providing them with techniques that can help them manage their inner voice. Armida is a member of the International Society of Latino Authors (ISLA), the Society of Children's Book Writers and Illustrators (SCBWI), the Authors Guild, and an alumni of the Children's Book Masterclass Program and Publishing Mastermind with Miriam Laundry Publishing Company. Armida lives in Fresno, California, with her husband, Leonard, and three furry friends: Luna, Sol, and Cutie Boy. In episode 596 of the Fraternity Foodie Podcast, we find out why Armida chose Cal State Fresno, when she decided to rewrite her own story from struggling with reading in high school to becoming an international award-winning author, what unique perspective her teaching experience gives on how early self-doubt can take root in children, what are some early signs that someone might be struggling with confidence, how fraternity and sorority students can recognize the difference between healthy humility and harmful self-doubt, how to “welcome and befriend” your imposter, how to replace negative self-talk with empowering thoughts, what Armida would say to her younger self in 1st grade, and how to walk hand-in-hand with your imposter beyond fear. Enjoy!

The role of neuronal influences on cancer pathogenesis and progression is increasingly appreciated in the nervous system. Neurons have been shown to enhance the proliferation and migration of gliomas, a glial-derived tumor of the CNS, via diffusible paracrine factors or synaptic inputs onto tumor cells. In glioblastomas, a highly aggressive glioma, mostly glutamatergic inputs have been identified. While the potential for glioblastomas to receive projections from neurons of other neurotransmitter subtypes, such as from cholinergic neurons, has recently been discovered in xenotransplantation models, whether synapses can form between human cholinergic neurons and glioblastoma cells and consequences of these inputs and other non-synaptic mechanisms are still unknown.   Human induced pluripotent stem cell-based models have been emerging as a powerful platform for studying human-specific disease mechanisms. Today's guests developed a co-culture model for the study of neuron-tumor interactions by combining patient derived glioblastoma organoids and hiPSC-derived cholinergic neurons. They will discuss their recent findings and what it means for understanding and potentially treating a tumor for which there is no known cure. GuestsGuo-li Ming, MD, PhD, Department of Neuroscience and Mahoney Institute for Neurosciences, Perelman School of Medicine, University of PennsylvaniaHongjun Song, PhD, Department of Neuroscience and Mahoney Institute for Neurosciences, Perelman School of Medicine, University of Pennsylvania Yusha Sun, Neuroscience Graduate Group, Perelman School of Medicine, University of PennsylvaniaHostJanet Rossant, Editor-in-Chief, Stem Cell Reports and The Gairdner FoundationSupporting ContentPaper link:  Cholinergic neuron-to-glioblastoma synapses in a human iPSC-derived co-culture model, Stem Cell ReportsAbout Stem Cell ReportsStem Cell Reports is the open access, peer-reviewed journal of the International Society for Stem Cell Research (ISSCR) for communicating basic discoveries in stem cell research, in addition to translational and clinical studies.

Show Notes In this episode, Simon Western is joined by Daniel B. Frank and Caro Bainbridge to explore how our connection to place shapes who we are, how we relate to others, and how we make sense of the world. They share stories of growing up in Chicago and Liverpool, revealing how personal and collective histories are held within the places we call home. The conversation moves between the intimate and the systemic. Dan and Caro reflect on how certain streets evoke safety or sorrow, how schools have taken on roles far beyond education, and how cultural roots are both grounding and restrictive. They examine the emotional weight of returning to one's childhood city, and the strangeness that can accompany that return. With digital life pulling people away from physical presence and history, the episode raises timely questions about what it means to belong - and how identity is shaped in an era of mobility, forgetting, and cultural fragmentation. Key Reflections A sense of place gives structure to identity and meaning to memory.  Emotional ties to place can be nurturing or suffocating—or both at once.  The same place is experienced differently depending on one's history, role, and identity.  The legacy of slavery and colonialism shapes how some communities relate to home. Being physically present in a place doesn't always mean belonging to it.  Schools are now expected to hold emotional, moral, and community roles once carried by families. Digital technology creates new forms of disconnection, despite increased connectivity. Living well includes being present - to place, to people, and to time. Keywords sense of place, identity, displacement, cultural connections, history, emotional well-being, modernity, community, education, technology Brief Bios Daniel B. Frank, Ph.D. is a graduate of Francis W. Parker School in Chicago where he has been has been its Principal for over 20 years and has been a senior administrator there since 1988.  He is the founding Executive Editor of the international education journal Schools: Studies in Education, which is published by the University of Chicago Press, and has served as Executive Director of the International Society for the Psychoanalytic Study of Organizations. Caro Bainbridge works at the intersection of psychoanalysis, culture and organisational life. She is an organisational consultant, leadership development expert and executive coach, known for bringing depth insight to complex systems and supporting individuals and teams as they navigate change, uncertainty and transformation. Her practice is grounded in a long academic career: she is Emeritus Professor of Psychoanalysis & Culture, a former editor of Free Associations and of the film section of the International Journal of Psychoanalysis, and co-editor of Routledge's Psychoanalysis and Popular Culture book series. Caro is a Fellow of the RSA and a Founding Scholar of the British Psychoanalytic Council. She is widely published in the academic context, and has recently launched The Culture Fix on Substack, where she explores the emotional and symbolic currents shaping contemporary life. Her work is animated by a belief in the generative potential of thresholds and transitions - a perspective shaped, in part, by her daily walks near Antony Gormley's Another Place, where art, nature and thought meet at the water's edge.

In this episode, Dr. Rachel welcomes Dr. Karen Davidson, a trailblazer in airway diagnostics and a disruptor in the world of nasal health. Dr. Karen takes us through her unconventional 34-year journey,from critical care flight nurse to patented inventor and airway educator,revealing how we've misunderstood nasal function for decades.Together, they unravel the science behind nasal resistance, debunk myths about CPAP therapy, and dive into why nasal function,not volume determines breathing quality. Dr. Karen shares how she pioneered the Daphne Score and the concept of pseudo-UARS, offering a data-driven approach to understanding airflow, pressure, and airway compensation.We also explore the systemic effects of nasal resistance,from heart rate variability in athletes to sleep-disordered breathing in children misdiagnosed with ADHD. With bold insights and a refreshing dose of cynicism, Dr. Karen challenges the current medical system and encourages collaboration across specialties to improve patient care.Highlights:Dr. Karen's journey from nurse to airway innovator and educatorWhy nasal function, not just nasal breathing mattersHow nasal resistance affects posture, speech, sleep, and heart rateThe creation and science behind the Daphne Score and airway AIUnderstanding pseudo-UARS and overexpansion risks in orthodonticsCPAP intolerance and why it often fails due to undiagnosed nasal resistanceThe flawed "disease management" model in healthcareWhy sleep doesn't disorder breathing, breathing disorders sleepNasal function as a key factor in ADHD misdiagnosis and childhood airway issuesFunctional diagnostics: From facial analysis to RhinoManometryThe neurological connection between nasal resistance and tongue functionThe importance of individualized treatment based on nasal flow and pressureThe emerging International Society of Airway Function Diagnostics & TherapeuticsAbout the Guest:Dr. Karen Fields-Lever is a critical care flight nurse, airway diagnostics expert, and creator of the patented Daphne Score software used to analyze nasal resistance and flow. With over 8,000 cases of ENT experience, she brings a rare blend of clinical and industry insight to breathing science. A published author and educator, Dr. Karen has pioneered flow-based orthodontics, Maverick nasal exams, and teaches across multiple specialties, including dentistry, ENT, chiropractic, and physical therapy. She is the founder of the International Society of Airway Function Diagnostics and Therapeutics, and her mission is clear: redefine how we measure, interpret, and treat the airway.Resources MentionedWebsite | karenparkerdavidson.comFounder of |International Society of Airway Function, Diagnostics, & TherapeuticsInstagram | @_thenoseknowsBooks MentioneDAmazon Link

“For complex PTSD, you have to establish a relationship. And only after trust has been established can you do the trauma-focused work.” This week, Thomas sits down with Dr. Judith Lewis Herman, an author and senior lecturer in psychiatry and Harvard Medical School, to explore her groundbreaking work on the psychology and social and cultural aspects of Complex PTSD, or CPTSD. Unlike the better-known diagnosis of PTSD, CPTSD arises from prolonged, repeated trauma that erodes one's sense of self and ability to trust. So, how should we approach healing and therapy for this uniquely challenging diagnosis? Dr. Herman believes there is hope, and it comes from the healing power of relationships…a tough pill to swallow for those whose trauma arose from abusive or coercively controlling relationships. But therein lies the key to healing—a therapeutic bond where the patient's experience is validated, their safety is paramount, and trust is carefully built up through mutuality. But it's not just therapy where healing can occur. Thomas and Dr. Herman discuss the importance of acknowledgment for people who've experienced ongoing trauma and how lifting shame from victims and survivors and transferring it to the perpetrators is an essential shift with powerful healing potential. They also explore social movements, like the women's and civil rights movements, that can lead to helpful reforms and the development of new support systems for trauma survivors.   ✨ Click here to watch the video version of this episode on YouTube:

Mike Finch has a Doctorate in Math and Theoretical Physics. He is also a Fellow of the International Society for Philosophers. Like many people I know, he was on a meditation journey and ended up with an Indian guru, then called “Guru Maharaji,” then just “Maharaji,” and later only by his given name: Prem Rawat. Mike was able to leave Rawat in 2000. Since then, Mike's interests have included the exploration of why he surrendered to the guru, how he stayed for 30 years, and now how to deal with the aftermath. Mike's book, Without the Guru: How I took My Life Back after Thirty Years (published in 2009), explores Mike's journey into this rigid belief system, how he realized he was trapped in a cult, and then how he broke away.
