Donna Shirley grew up in Wynnewood, Oklahoma. Her interest in Mars and space exploration began when she read The Sands of Mars by Arthur C. Clarke.  She took flying lessons at age 15 and soloed at the Pauls Valley Airport the next year, earning a pilot's license at 16.She enrolled in the University of Oklahoma as an engineering student, even though her advisor told her that “Girls can't be engineers.”Donna worked at the Jet Propulsion Lab from 1966 to 1998 and was the only woman among the 2,000 engineers who had an engineering degree. Her 35-year career as an aerospace engineer reached a pinnacle in July 1997 when Sojourner–the solar-powered, self-guided, microwave-oven-sized rover–was seen exploring the Martian landscape in Pathfinder's spectacular images from the surface of the red planet.  She was the leader of the mostly male team that designed and built Sojourner–the first woman ever to manage a NASA program.  Listen to Donna's oral history interview, as she talks about the thrill of seeing the first Mars images, how she became a trailblazer, and whether there is life on Mars on the podcast and oral history website, VoicesOfOklahoma.com.

Menopause isn't a medical condition requiring endurance—it's a physiological transition that responds to intervention. While the diagnostic criteria demand 12 consecutive months of amenorrhea, waiting a full year to address debilitating symptoms defies clinical logic. When patients present with vasomotor symptoms, mood dysregulation, and menstrual irregularities, laboratory evaluation can provide diagnostic clarity before the arbitrary 12-month mark. The key is recognizing that symptom management doesn't require a completed diagnostic checklist. This episode dissects the diagnostic approach to menopause, examines the cultural mythology that keeps women suffering unnecessarily, and provides evidence-based perspectives on hormone replacement therapy. We'll explore the actual risk-benefit profile of HRT, the cardiovascular and skeletal implications of hormone deficiency, and why decades of misinterpreted data have created widespread HRT phobia. Because apparently, we needed a Women's Health Initiative study to convince everyone that horse urine hormones aren't ideal for human women. Episode Highlights: Clinical definitions and diagnostic nuances of perimenopause versus menopause Laboratory markers and symptom patterns that inform menopause diagnosis The overlooked significance of testosterone assessment in menopausal women How societal expectations perpetuate the "suffer in silence" mentality Deconstructing the HRT fear-mongering that followed flawed research interpretations Evidence-based rebuttal to the estradiol-breast cancer causation myth Comprehensive approach to symptom assessment and therapeutic options Risk-benefit analysis of bioidentical estradiol and progesterone therapy Comparative evaluation of progesterone and estrogen delivery methods Clinical consequences of testosterone deficiency in women Pre-treatment evaluation and contraindications for HRT initiation Role of genetic testing in personalizing hormone replacement protocols Distinguishing natural menopause from surgical menopause management strategies Episode Resources: Dr. Shawn Tassone's Practice | https://www.drshawntassone.com Dr. Shawn Tassone's Book | The Hormone Balance Bible Dr. Shawn Tassone's Integrative Hormonal Mapping System | Hormone Archetype Quiz Thank you to our sponsor, Purality Health! The question isn't which supplements to take—it's whether your body can absorb them. Most traditional supplements fall victim to stomach acid before delivering benefits. Purality Health's micelle liposomal technology creates a double-layer protective system that shields nutrients from stomach acid destruction while facilitating direct bloodstream absorption—making supplements up to 800% more effective. For perimenopausal and menopausal patients, I recommend their Vitamin D3 with K2 for bone density and mood regulation, and their exceptional magnesium formula for sleep and muscle tension. As a physician, I value their commitment to quality: cGMP-compliant facilities, purity testing, and organic, non-GMO ingredients without unnecessary fillers.

Elvis and Barb are back (once again) with more amazing conversations that they got at the exocad (https://exocad.com/) booth during the 4 days at IDS 2025 in Cologne, Germany (https://www.english.ids-cologne.de/). First up is two gentlemen out of Columbia that their lab 70 years ago decided that it was easier if they just started manufacturing their own materials. Juan David Jaramillo and Luis Diego Monsalve talk about the history of New Stetic (https://www.newstetic.com/en/), the regulation of getting it into 65 different countries, the world of making dental anesthesia, and how they use IDS as a way to connect with customers from around the world. Then we bring back the wonderful Steve Campbell from Nexus Dental Laboratory (https://nexus.dental/)in the UK. Steve is at IDS speaking for exocad and the new exocad ART (https://exocad.com/our-products/exocad-art). He talks about how with exocad, AI, and a video of a patient talking, we can create a video of the patient talking with their new teeth that haven't even been made yet. Steve also updates on Nexus since the last recording and the importance of encouraging your technicians to do better then you. Lastly we talk to Dr. Nicolas Rohde from VHF Milling Machines (https://www.vhf.com/en-us/). Dr. Rohde started with a business degree and a PhD in Organizational Practices. While in Maryland during school, he meets his wife and takes a job with a implant company and that's how he into dental. That company was a reseller for VHF mills and that is how he found them Dr. Rohde talks about moving back to Germany to run the US division, what sets their mills apart from others, and why they take the time to have their own CAM software to run their mills.

Don't Drink The Kool Aid!They didn't drink the Kool-Aid willingly. They were executed in the largest CIA mind control experiment ever conducted on American soil. November 18, 1978. The world was told that 918 people committed "revolutionary suicide" in the jungles of Guyana. What they didn't tell you is that most of those people were murdered—shot in the back, injected with poison, forced at gunpoint to watch their children die first. This wasn't a religious tragedy. This was a government operation that went catastrophically wrong.You've been fed the lie for 45 years. The story of a deranged cult leader who convinced his followers to kill themselves for their beliefs. But Jim Jones wasn't just a madman—he was a CIA asset running the most sophisticated mind control operation in American history, and when he threatened to expose his handlers, they silenced him and everyone who could testify to the truth.The evidence they tried to bury tells a different story. A story of government-sponsored psychological warfare, pharmaceutical mind control experiments, and systematic torture designed to break human consciousness and rebuild it from scratch. Jonestown wasn't a commune—it was a concentration camp disguised as paradise.In this horrifying exposé, we reveal how the CIA used the People's Temple as cover for MKULTRA experiments on American citizens. How they recruited Jones through military intelligence networks and funded his operation through government black budgets. How they used isolation, sleep deprivation, pharmaceutical cocktails, and psychological torture to create the perfect subjects for mWe'll expose the government connections that were scrubbed from official records. How Jones received unexplained funding from mysterious sources. Why Jonestown had sophisticated communication equipment that connected directly to intelligence agencies. How the compound was designed like a prison camp with guard towers, armed security, and escape-proof barriers.ind control testing.Most chilling of all: the medical evidence proves most victims were murdered, not suicides. Injection marks where there should be none. Gunshot wounds in the backs of fleeing victims. Children who were forcibly poisoned while parents watched helplessly. Bodies arranged in patterns that suggested systematic execution, not mass suicide.They called it the "White Night"—but it was really the final phase of a mind control experiment that had spiraled completely out of control. When Jones became unstable and threatened to expose the CIA's involvement, they activated the termination protocol. Everyone who knew the truth had to die.The survivors' testimonies were suppressed. The medical evidence was classified. The government connections were buried in redacted files. They needed the world to believe it was religious fanaticism, not government-sponsored murder, because the truth would have exposed decades of illegal human experimentation.But here's what terrifies them most: people like you who refuse to accept their sanitized version of mass murder. Who understand that when 918 Americans die under mysterious circumstances, someone needs to be held accountable—and it wasn't just Jim Jones. The real question isn't how 918 people could be convinced to kill themselves. The real question is how the American government could murder 918 of its own citizens and convince the world it was suicide. Jonestown wasn't the end of their mind control experiments—it was proof of concept. It showed them exactly how far they could push human psychological manipulation before total system breakdown. And the lessons they learned in that jungle laboratory have been applied to populations around the world ever since.Are you ready to learn the truth about the largest mass murder in American history? Because what really happened in Jonestown will shatter everything you thought you knew about government accountability and media complicity. WARNING: This episode contains disturbing evidence of government-sponsored mass murder disguised as religious suicide. The truth about CIA involvement in the Jonestown massacre may fundamentally alter your understanding of how far intelligence agencies will go to protect their secrets.

In this episode of SpaceTime, we delve into fascinating connections between Earth's atmospheric conditions and its magnetic field, alongside intriguing insights into Mercury and the mysteries of the Sun's corona.Link Between Earth's Oxygen and Magnetic FieldA groundbreaking study published in Science Advances reveals a correlation between the fluctuations of Earth's magnetic field and atmospheric oxygen levels over the last 540 million years. Researchers suggest that processes within the Earth might influence habitability on the surface, highlighting the magnetic field's role in protecting our atmosphere from cosmic rays and solar wind. This correlation raises questions about the underlying processes linking these two critical elements for life on Earth.Unraveling Mercury's SecretsNew findings indicate that Mercury's crust and internal structure are unlike any other planet in our solar system. Laboratory simulations are aiding the European-Japanese BepiColombo mission, set to orbit Mercury in November 2026. Researchers are investigating why Mercury's core constitutes 60% of its volume, exploring theories about its metal-rich composition and volcanic history. The study emphasizes the need for more data to understand Mercury's unique characteristics and geological processes.The Ongoing Mystery of the Sun's CoronaDespite advancements in solar research, the heating of the Sun's corona remains a significant puzzle. Observations from NASA's IRIS mission and other spacecraft are shedding light on potential mechanisms, including magnetic reconnection and plasma waves.

In this episode we return to one of my favourite topics - that microscopic life that lives in the soil. After recognising the significance of soil life for supporting the climate, Daniel Tyrkiel set about exploring solutions that would support farmers to support and work with the biology in soil. The desire was to create a plug and play solution; something easy and accessible that allows farmers to shift from chemicals to biology without a need for heavy learning or investment. Daniel's company Soil Ecology Laboratory are becoming recognised for their innovative products which are continually being developed and explored further.It was a pleasure to chat with Daniel and learn about the mindset behind the products and his determination which seems to have been inspired by his mentor Dr Elaine Ingham.We talk about:The significance of soil lifeThe barriers to supporting soil life on farmsThe products & evolution of Soil Ecology Laboratory----Resources Shared by Daniel:Recent news about Soil Ecology Laboratory - https://www.farminguk.com/News/-goop-boosts-soil-life-on-welsh-farm-in-no-input-trial_66709.htmlSoil Ecology Lab website: https://soilecologylab.co.uk/Consumer product website: https://soilsmiths.co.uk/Learn more about Soil Ecology:Teaming With Microbes (book by Jeff Lowenfels & Wayne Lewis)Google Scholar - look up Dr Elaine Inghams' Ecological Monograph from 1986----Learn more with We Are Carbon:Soil Life - Decoding Soil Biology with Adrian Ferrero https://www.wearecarbon.earth/podcast-episode/soil-biology-transition-to-regenerative-farming/Soil; Living Support for Plants & Climate with Christo Miliotis https://www.wearecarbon.earth/podcast-episode/soil-microorganisms-plants-climate/Farming Transition - The Weather Proof Farm with Niels Corfield https://www.wearecarbon.earth/weatherproof-farm-niels-corfield/We Can Regenerate! with Finian Makepeace https://www.wearecarbon.earth/podcast-episode/finian-makepeace-we-can-regenerate/Holistic Management with Shiela Cooke https://www.wearecarbon.earth/podcast-episode/holistic-management-transition-mindset-farming/---Episode Timestamps:00:00 - Intro 06:12 - Why learn about soil life? 10:00 - The barriers to support soil life on farms...

A new international study involving researchers from Durham University has revealed that climate change is accelerating the rate of development and global abundances of antibiotic resistance bacteria in soils. The findings, published in the journal Nature Ecology & Evolution, highlight a new and deeply concerning less seen consequence of global warming to public health. Rising antibiotic resistance in soils The study shows that rising global temperatures are significantly increasing the abundance of antibiotic resistance genes (ARGs) and virulence factors in soil microbial communities. These genes can make bacteria less susceptible to the effects of antibiotics, increasing the probability of acquiring antibiotic resistant infections, including from dangerous pathogens. The research, which integrates field data, metagenomic analysis, and laboratory experiments, provides compelling evidence that warmer conditions will favour the survival and evolution of pathogenic and other bacteria that are resistant to therapeutic treatment - bacteria that often originate in the natural environment. Professor David W. Graham of Durham University, co-author of this study, a water engineer and expert in antibiotic resistance, says "the study exemplifies how closely connected human health is with environmental change." This research provides compelling evidence that climate change is more than an environmental crisis, it also is impacting global antibiotic resistance due to warming. This research forms part of a growing body of evidence that environmental factors, including global warming, are playing a crucial role in the spread of antimicrobial resistance. It underscores the importance of a 'One Health' approach that recognises the interconnected nature of human, animal, and environmental health. Professor Graham said: "Most people do not realise that most of the pathogens that cause infectious disease humans actually originate from the environment. "Therefore, increasing resistance in soils will almost certainly translate into increased levels of untreatable infections in human and veterinary practice. This is why One Health solutions are important". The study found that the impact of warming will be more pronounced in colder regions. In the past, colder temperatures normally kill off bacteria, especially human pathogens, but as temperatures increases, such strains will survive longer, which this study shows. As temperatures rise, bacteria also appear to changing on an evolutionary level, with an increased probability of genetic changes and the appearance of 'new' pathogens to which no antibiotic options exist. Professor Graham said: "The relationship between climate and antibiotic resistance was predicted in the 2023 United Nations report: Bracing for Superbugs: Strengthening environmental action in the One Health response to antimicrobial resistance and the new work here provides concrete evidence for that prediction." The research team found that even modest increases in temperature can trigger significant rises in the abundance of ARGs, particularly in bacterial groups such as Proteobacteria and Bacteroidetes, which are known carriers of resistance and virulence genes. Laboratory experiments with Escherichia coli confirmed that elevated temperatures lead to increased expression of antibiotic resistance genes, including those involved in efflux pumps and stress response proteins, which are key mechanisms in bacterial defence. Moreover, machine learning models used in the study project that, under high-emission climate scenarios, global levels of soil ARGs could rise by up to 23 percent by the end of this century. The researchers warn that climate-driven changes to microbial communities could undermine efforts to control antibiotic resistance and may lead to greater risks of infection from previous antibiotic-susceptable bacteria from soils and, more importantly, an increased probability new pathogen 'jumping' from environmental sources ...

N Engl J Med 1999;341:709-717Background: The renin–angiotensin–aldosterone system (RAAS) is activated in patients with systolic heart failure. While this activation initially helps increase blood volume and maintains blood pressure, chronic activation promotes cardiac fibrosis and remodeling. In patients with systolic heart failure, inhibition of the RAAS with angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitors (ACEi) significantly reduced mortality and morbidity, as seen in the CONSENSUS and SOLVD trials.Cardiology Trial's Substack is a reader-supported publication. To receive new posts and support our work, consider becoming a free or paid subscriber.Preliminary data suggested that adding the aldosterone-receptor blocker spironolactone to ACEi, reduced the levels of atrial natriuretic peptide and did not lead to serious hyperkalemia.The Randomized Aldactone Evaluation Study (RALES) sought to test the hypothesis that spironolactone would significantly reduce the risk of all-cause death in patients with severe systolic heart failure.Patients: Eligible patients had left ventricular ejection fraction of 35% or less, had NYHA class IV heart failure within the 6 months before enrollment and NYHA class III or IV at the time of enrollment, and were treated with ACEi (if tolerated) and a loop diuretic.Patients were excluded if they had primary operable valvular disease (other than mitral or tricuspid regurgitation), congenital heart disease, unstable angina, primary liver failure, active cancer or any life-threatening condition, other than heart failure, prior heart transplant or awaiting heart transplant, serum creatinine >2.5 mg/dL, or serum potassium > 5.0 mmol/L.Baseline characteristics: Patients were recruited from 195 centers in 15 countries. The trial randomized 1,663 patients – 822 randomized to receive spironolactone and 841 to receive placebo.The average age of patients was 65 years and 73% were men. The average left ventricular ejection fraction was 25%. Cardiomyopathy was ischemic in 55% of the patients and non-ischemic in the rest. The NYHA class was III in 71% of the patients and IV in 29%.Data on baseline comorbid conditions were not provided.At the time of enrollment, 100% were taking loop diuretics, 94% were taking ACEi, 73% were taking digitalis, and 10% were taking beta-blockers. The mean daily dose of ACEi were as following: 63mg for captopril, 15mg for enalapril, and 14mg for lisinopril.Note: Max daily dose is 450mg for captopril, 40mg for enalapril, and 40mg for lisinopril.Procedures: The trial was double-blinded. Patients were assigned in a 1:1 ratio to receive spironolactone 25mg PO daily or placebo.The dose could be increased to 50mg daily after 8 weeks of treatment, If the patient had worsening heart failure and had no evidence of hyperkalemia. In the event of hyperkalemia, the dose could be lowered to 25 mg every other day. Laboratory testing including potassium were performed every 4 weeks for the first 12 weeks, then every 3 months for up to 1 year and every 6 months thereafter until the end of the study.Endpoints: The primary outcome was all-cause death. Secondary end points included death from cardiac causes, hospitalization for cardiac causes and change in the NYHA class.Analysis was performed based on the intention-to-treat principle. The planned sample size was not mentioned in the methods. However, the results mention that recruitment was complete. The sample size calculation assumed 38% mortality rate in the placebo group and that spironolactone would reduce mortality by 17% (relative risk reduction). The power of the study was set at 90% with a two-sided alpha of 5%.Results: Recruitment was complete in Dec, 1996 with follow up planned through Dec, 1999. However, the study was stopped early on Aug, 1998 after interim analysis showed significant reduction in mortality with spironolactone. The mean follow up time was 24 months. After 24 months of follow up, the mean daily dose of spironolactone was 26 mg.Spironolactone reduced all-cause death (35% vs 46%, RR: 0.70, 95% CI: 0.60 - 0.82; p< 0.001). Death from cardiac causes was also reduced with spironolactone (27% vs 37%, RR: 0.69, 95% CI: 0.58 - 0.82; p
