On November 14, 2004, the USS Nimitz Carrier Strike Group Eleven steamed through the clear waters roughly eighty nautical miles west of San Diego beneath cloudless California skies. Unbeknownst to many on board, for nearly a week, operators deep inside the strike group's Combat Information Center aboard the USS Princeton had been watching something they could not explain. Initially dismissed as equipment anomalies, the contacts refused to disappear, returning repeatedly and exhibiting flight characteristics that seasoned radar operators struggled to reconcile with anything they had encountered before. This week on The Micah Hanks Program, we take a deep dive into the investigations by the Defense Intelligence Agency's Advanced Aerospace Weapons Systems Application Program (AAWSAP) and the evaluation of the historic Nimitz incident by its contractor group, Bigelow Aerospace Advanced Space Studies. What does this candid look at the official side of investigations into the landmark case reveal, and what does it suggest about a recently proposed "explanation" for the historic UAP sighting?

In this interview, Amy shares more about her life and science.

It's the official policy of the U.S. government to work toward putting people on Mars. Debates about that usually focus on cost and national priorities. Less considered is what life on Mars would do to the people who go there. That, however, is the subject of a new book by scientist Scott Solomon. It's called Becoming Martian: How Living in Space Will Change Our Bodies and Minds. Solomon was raised in Champaign, attended University High in Urbana, and earned his bachelor's degree from the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign.

For the second installment of Space on Tap, a special “Are We There Yet?” live event series, we asked what scientists and their robotic coworkers are really looking for on Mars. Plus, the crew of the final shuttle mission, STS-135, reunited for the mission's 15th anniversary.

Jennifer breaks down the reality of earning technical credibility, the importance of European AI sovereignty, and why the "imposter syndrome" is a constant companion even for established experts. We also discuss the shifting landscape of tech hiring and the lessons learned from a six-figure technical mistake.Support the show

After more than two decades, the European Space Agency's Rosalind Franklin rover finally has a path to the launchpad. This week, ExoMars Project Scientist Jorge Vago joins Planetary Radio to talk about what makes this mission like nothing we've sent to Mars before: a drill capable of reaching 2 meters beneath the surface, where organic molecules may have been shielded from radiation for billions of years. We dig into how the rover will scout its drilling sites, how its onboard laboratory will analyze samples for signs of life, and why the chirality of any organic molecules it finds could be one of the most telling clues of all. Then stick around for What's Up with Bruce Betts, our chief scientist, where we talk about the ExoMars Trace Gas Orbiter, the spacecraft already at Mars that will serve as Rosalind Franklin's lifeline back to Earth.

El sector del desarrollo de software está inundado de desinformación y de una percepción completamente irreal alimentada por titulares sensacionalistas. En este episodio, nos sentamos con Brais Moure para hablar de la cruda realidad de la tecnología: por qué delegar absolutamente todo en las inteligencias artificiales para hacer "Vibe Coding" jamás equivaldrá a la verdadera ingeniería de software. Brais abre su caja de recuerdos para repasar un camino lleno de contrastes, desde sus inicios explotado en consultoras tradicionales allá por el 2010 hasta el burnout extremo como freelance que lo obligó a frenar en seco y refugiarse en su pueblo de Galicia para sanar rodeado de los suyos. Lejos de la tiranía del algoritmo de YouTube o de vivir atrapado en la teletienda de los patrocinadores, Brais defiende que su auténtica pasión sigue siendo picar código.Analizamos el grave error de los nuevos estudiantes que pretenden saltarse los fundamentos técnicos creyendo que un puñado de agentes de IA resolverá su carrera, solo para terminar rechazados por empresas al descubrirse que su comprensión real es cero. Olvídate de las planificaciones rígidas a cinco años o de obsesionarte con un Lamborghini; la verdadera habilidad que salva carreras es una brutal capacidad de adaptación para disfrutar el camino, tomar tus propias decisiones y lograr dormir tranquilo por las noches. Una charla imprescindible, honesta y sin filtros para entender hacia dónde va realmente nuestra profesión.Support the show

In this episode of Astronomy Daily, Anna and Avery explore six remarkable stories from the frontiers of space science. JWST has determined that interstellar comet 3I/ATLAS likely formed 10–12 billion years ago — before our Sun existed — making it the oldest object ever chemically characterised. NASA's Perseverance rover has delivered its most robust organic detection yet in Mars's Jezero Crater. ESA's Euclid telescope has released the largest and most detailed visible-light image ever taken of the Milky Way's galactic bulge. NASA's plan to deorbit the ISS into the Pacific Ocean faces new legal and environmental scrutiny. Research from the University of Glasgow reveals the Chicxulub impact crater hosted an underground hydrothermal system for eight million years — four times longer than previously estimated. And astronomers have discovered the first-ever pair of sibling supernova remnants, hiding in the glow of the famous Jellyfish Nebula.   Story 1 — JWST & 3I/ATLAS Origin • Cordiner et al. (2026).

"No quiero oír que Claude me ha dicho...": El criterio técnico por encima de la IA con Xavier Tous.En esta entrega de Road to CTO, Àlex Rodríguez Bacardit conversa con Xavier Tous sobre la realidad del liderazgo tecnológico cuando la Inteligencia Artificial se convierte en una herramienta del día a día. Lejos del hype habitual, la charla profundiza en la necesidad de mantener el criterio técnico frente a la automatización y en cómo evitar que los equipos deleguen su capacidad de análisis en modelos de lenguaje.La conversación aborda la evolución del rol de CTO, el equilibrio entre velocidad y calidad del código, y la importancia de no perder el foco en la ingeniería de software clásica mientras se integran nuevas tecnologías. Es una reflexión necesaria para cualquier profesional técnico que busque entender cómo la IA está redefiniendo la productividad sin comprometer la responsabilidad sobre el producto final.Support the show

On Tuesday's show: We get an update on the potential for "life-threatening flooding" this week as the Houston area faces sustained heavy rains amid a flood watch. We check in again with meteorologist Eric Berger of Space City Weather for the latest. And we find out how local chefs and restaurants fared in the annual James Beard Awards.Also this hour: We learn how the City of Houston is doing on its efforts to improve its sewer system.Then, scientists last year discovered evidence that could point to ancient life on Mars. We revisit a conversation from last fall about what they found.And we chat with some artists behind six new massive murals in downtown.Watch

Welcome back to another episode of Building MarsBased, the series where we share the completely transparent reality of how we have built our development agency since 2014.In this episode, we pull back the curtain on our 18-month journey of adopting Artificial Intelligence within our web and mobile development workflows. The rapid evolution of large language models has completely transformed the engineering landscape. However, finding a process that actually worked for a professional agency took a lot of trial, error, and strategic pivoting. We structured our transition into three clear parts, starting with a Divergence Phase in early 2025. During this time, we went full throttle and let our 30-person team test every tool on the market, from Cursor and Replit to ChatGPT and Raycast AI. While this freedom was an incredible learning experience, it also led to widespread analysis paralysis and left us paying for costly, unused annual subscriptions for tools that the market deprecated just weeks later.Everything changed when we entered our Convergence Phase in early 2026. We made the executive decision to standardize our entire tech stack around Claude Code and introduced a unified RPI (Research, Plan, Implement) methodology across all teams. By putting everyone on the exact same setup, we were finally able to benchmark quality and track results. This standardization triggered an immediate shift from minor marginal gains to a staggering 20% to 50% increase in developer productivity across our client projects.Today, we are operating in a continuous Refinement Phase. Through our daily internal knowledge-sharing sessions called Martian Tapas, our team constantly tests the boundaries of our setup. We are optimizing token consumption with specialized plugins like Caveman and RTK, while simultaneously experimenting with local AI models to ensure our agency maintains long-term regional independence from US-centric, VC-subsidized platforms.Watch the full episode to see exactly how we structured this rollout and how you can apply these professional frameworks to your own development team. If you have any specific questions about our infrastructure, drop a comment below and we might have our CTO, Xavi, break it down in a future video.If you appreciate honest, data-driven insights into the business of software development, please Like, Subscribe, and Share this episode!Support the show

What if EVERYTHING we know about reality is missing a deeper operating system?In this episode of Mayim Bialik's Breakdown, Dr. Brian Keating (professor of physics, experimental cosmologist, and host of the Into the Impossible podcast) dives into the biggest unanswered questions in science, consciousness, God, the Big Bang, extraterrestrial life, simulation theory, and the hidden limits of human knowledge.Dr. Keating breaks down:- Why humanity NEEDS a Grand Unified Theory before we can ever reach a true “Theory of Everything”, and how scientists are trying to uncover the operating system of reality itself- “A telescope is a time machine”: How looking into deep space is literally looking backward through time toward the origins of existence- Shocking scientific and philosophical implications of the Big Bang, and the terrifying question: What was BEFORE time?- Could another universe have collapsed to create ours?- Why studying space-time itself may unlock secrets hidden before the beginning of the universe- Why the Big Bang explains the expanding universe, and where modern cosmology still breaks down- How Dr. Keating reconciles being both a scientist & a person of faith- Can God & science coexist? How God may tie into the creation of the universe through a scientific lens- Why God's existence should not be subjected to scientific testing- Hidden limits of both religion AND scientific data- Where consciousness may actually come from according to modern physics- Why the role of scientists is not to “prove” things- Why even world-famous scientists secretly struggle with imposter syndrome- Deistic implications of the Simulation Hypothesis, and whether reality itself could be engineered- Search for extraterrestrial life: why we still have ZERO confirmed evidence despite viral claims- Debunking alleged “signs of life” on Mars and separating science from speculation- His take on the mysterious deaths and disappearances of U.S. scientists connected to nuclear & aerospace research- Could unexplained events be connected to UAPs, nonhuman intelligence, or classified technology?- Cattle mutilations, alleged energy weapons, and why unexplained phenomena always breed suspicion- Why uncertainty is one of the most dangerous (and fascinating) forces in human civilizationThis episode explores the edge where cosmology, philosophy, consciousness, religion, and the unknown collide.If you're fascinated by the Big Bang, aliens, simulation theory, UAPs, consciousness, physics, God, or the future of humanity, this conversation will completely change how you think about reality itself!Substack newsletter & transcript: https://briankeating.substack.com//mbbMayim's viewers only — win a real 4.3-billion-year-old meteorite: https://briankeating.com/mbbDr. Brian Keating's podcast, Into the Impossible: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLJGKdZD30K_9rVCDAdRSwoJLi5ls6JN-qDr. Brian Keating's books: https://briankeating.com/books/Follow us on Substack for Exclusive Bonus Content: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://bialikbreakdown.substack.com/⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠BialikBreakdown.com⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠YouTube.com/mayimbialik⁠⁠⁠See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Tracy K. Smith comes to Shakespeare and Company for a conversation with Adam Biles. They discuss her book Fear Less: Poetry in Perilous Times, a bold manifesto on poetry as a tool for deeper living, clearer thinking, and more compassionate citizenship. Drawing on her time as US Poet Laureate, Smith reflects on taking poetry to rural America, and how poems, unlike political debate, can open rather than entrench. She talks about the origins of Fear Less, and why she chose to write a love letter to the art form rather than a polemic. Smith also reads from her forthcoming collection The Forest, sharing new poems on war, complicity, the divine feminine, and an expansive, unsettling "us" that includes those we revile.Buy Fear Less: https://www.shakespeareandcompany.com/books/fear-less-4Tracy K. Smith was born in Massachusetts and raised in northern California. She earned a BA from Harvard University and an MFA in creative writing from Columbia University. From 1997 to 1999 she held a Stegner fellowship at Stanford University. Smith is the author of four books of poetry: The Body's Question (2003), which won the Cave Canem prize for the best first book by an African-American poet; Duende (2007), winner of the James Laughlin Award and the Essense Literary Award; Life on Mars (2011), winner of the Pulitzer Prize for Poetry; and Wade in the Water (2018). In 2014 she was awarded the Academy of American Poets fellowship. She has also written a memoir, Ordinary Light (2015), which was a finalist for the National Book Award in nonfiction. Her latest book is Fear Less: Poetry in Perilous Times (2025). In June 2017, Smith was named U.S. poet laureate. She teaches at Harvard University, where she is a professor of English and of African and African American Studies and the Susan S. and Kenneth L. Wallach Professor at the Harvard Radcliffe Institute. Adam Biles is Literary Director at Shakespeare and Company.Listen to Alex Freiman's latest EP, In The Beginning: https://open.spotify.com/album/5iZYPMCUnG7xiCtsFCBlVa?si=h5x3FK1URq6SwH9Kb_SO3w Hosted on Acast.

How God may tie into the creation of the universe through a scientific lens- Why God's existence should not be subjected to scientific testing- Hidden limits of both religion AND scientific data- Where consciousness may actually come from according to modern physics- Why the role of scientists is not to “prove” things- Why even world-famous scientists secretly struggle with imposter syndrome- Deistic implications of the Simulation Hypothesis, and whether reality itself could be engineered- Search for extraterrestrial life: why we still have ZERO confirmed evidence despite viral claims- Debunking alleged “signs of life” on Mars and separating science from speculation- His take on the mysterious deaths and disappearances of U.S. scientists connected to nuclear & aerospace research- Could unexplained events be connected to UAPs, nonhuman intelligence, or classified technology?- Cattle mutilations, alleged energy weapons, and why unexplained phenomena always breed suspicion- Why uncertainty is one of the most dangerous (and fascinating) forces in human civilizationThis episode explores the edge where cosmology, philosophy, consciousness, religion, and the unknown collide.If you're fascinated by the Big Bang, aliens, simulation theory, UAPs, consciousness, physics, God, or the future of humanity, this conversation will completely change how you think about reality itself!They can't harm you, if they can't find you!

En este episodio celebramos un hito increíble: el 20º aniversario de Podcast Generator. Nos acompaña Alberto Betella para contarnos la historia de esta herramienta pionera que nació en la Universidad de Bérgamo en 2006 y que acabó convirtiéndose en la base tecnológica y el MVP de lo que hoy conocemos como RSS.com. A lo largo de la charla, exploramos cómo un proyecto Open Source basado en la simplicidad absoluta, llegando incluso a prescindir de base de datos para facilitar su uso, logró perdurar durante dos décadas en un sector que no ha dejado de evolucionar.Alberto nos detalla su proceso creativo, desde las primeras versiones alojadas en SourceForge hasta el uso actual de la inteligencia artificial para analizar y documentar 52 versiones de su propio código histórico. Conversamos sobre la filosofía del software libre, la influencia de figuras como Richard Stallman y la importancia de construir productos que resuelvan problemas reales de forma sencilla. Es una reflexión profunda sobre la arquitectura de software, la evolución del podcasting y el viaje de un desarrollador que ha visto cómo su "script de fin de semana" se transformaba en un referente global.Support the show

En este nuevo episodio de Road to CTO, nos acompaña Susana Duran, quien actualmente lidera equipos de arquitectura y operaciones para los clientes más grandes de AWS en EMEA.La trayectoria de Susana es de esas que inspiran. Pasó de sus inicios como CTO en startups como Syncro y Hornet a la vicepresidencia en una multinacional como Sage, para terminar hoy en el mismísimo corazón de Amazon Web Services.Hablamos abiertamente de lo que significa liderar hoy en día, sobre todo cuando te toca gestionar el "FOMO tecnológico" y la velocidad absurda a la que avanzan los nuevos modelos. Susana ya vivió el boom de la IA conversacional hace seis años, cuando casi nadie hablaba de esto, y nos dio su visión sin filtros sobre el impacto real que está teniendo en el desarrollo de software y por qué la supervisión humana sigue siendo innegociable.También nos metimos un poco en el barro con la gestión de equipos: las diferencias reales entre liderar en una startup y en una Big Tech como Amazon, el reto de mantener el alto rendimiento en entornos de hipercrecimiento y cómo es ese camino de pasar de un perfil puramente técnico a tomar decisiones en juntas directivas.Support the show

The AI slop problem is getting worse. AI can crank out code, decks, and landing pages in minutes, but somehow everything starts to look exactly the same. That sameness is not just an aesthetic problem; it is a trust problem. I sit down with David Okuniev (Founder of Typeform and Supercut) to unpack what “taste” really means when anyone can one-shot a product, and why people still crave signals of real craft.We also dive into the hidden cost of easy creation: from small-team dynamics to a "65 PR backlog," we discuss how AI shifts the bottleneck from writing code to building a harness for shipping safely.Beyond the philosophy, we get practical about the future of async work. Supercut's bet is that the winning Loom alternative is not just about recording your screen, it's about searchable transcripts, AI Q&A, and agentic workflows that turn a video into a document your team can act on immediately.If you care about product design, reliability, and building honest software in the AI bubble, this conversation will sharpen your thinking.Support the show

Scientists have long hoped to find life on Mars. But one study suggests it's even more uninhabitable than previously thought.

Are we really alone in the universe? The question of whether there is extraterrestrial life is one of our oldest questions. And few nations on Earth are more captivated by the prospect of life on Mars than the United States. President Barack Obama recently made headlines by stating he believes aliens are real. And around 41% of Americans believe aliens have made contact with planet Earth. In May 2026, Orwell Prize-winning journalist Daniel Lavelle joined acclaimed filmmaker and podcaster Jon Ronson to discuss why humans, and Americans in particular, are so obsessed with encountering aliens. Drawing from Lavelle's new book, Chasing Aliens, they explored an extraordinary road trip through America's UFO heartlands – a journey that led Lavelle from fringe believers and interdimensional crystal rituals at the clandestine Skinwalker Ranch, all the way to Harvard astrophysicists and the corridors of government itself. He revealed what he found: not just the truth about UFOs, but something far more unexpected – a deeply moving story about loneliness, belief, and our unshakeable need not to be alone in the cosmos. --- If you'd like to become a Member and get access to all our full ad free conversations, plus all of our Members-only content, just visit intelligencesquared.com/membership to find out more.

Mucho se habla de que la IA va a borrar del mapa a las agencias, pero después de charlar con Rubén Ferreiro, la sensación es otra. No se trata de si la máquina puede escribir un copy o diseñar un logo, sino de quién tiene el criterio para decidir si eso es bueno o no.En este episodio nos alejamos del alarmismo para entender dónde está el valor real hoy en día. Si trabajas en el sector servicios o estás montando algo, esta charla te va a dar un poco de paz mental (y unas cuantas ideas para no quedarte atrás).Básicamente: menos miedo a la tecnología y más foco en la estrategia.Support the show

Andy, Michael and Michael get things started with a brace of AI articles dealing with with a wide variety of topics.  First up is Meta's use of employee activities on their corporate computers to train their AI models.  Then, a discussion on the SpaceX and Cursor business deal.  Next, a conversation on a breach to access the Claude Mythos model.  Interspersed with these is a discovery by NASA's Curiosity rover finding organic molecules on Mars. With a number of articles claiming, and paraphrasing here, that the Vision Pro is bereft of life, shuffled up its mortal coil and joined the choir invisible, Michael Rowe shares his perspective on the subject.  His says his Vision Pro is not an Ex-Vision Pro. The cohosts go retro – as they are wont to do – with a flock of posts about all things Commodore.  Links below if you are curious and want to see what these devices look like. While no Artemis II image for this week's episode, do check out the minifigs.me offering of the crew, along with the jar of “Studella” in the links below.  There are a couple of additional bonus links that the cohosts didn't have time to include in the episode that prove that we can have nice things.

Last fall, NASA announced that it found something incredible in a rock on Mars. A core sample obtained by the Mars Perseverance rover discovered a potential biosignature. In other words, a potential sign of ancient life on Mars. Dean Regas chats with Kathryn Stack Morgan, Perseverance project scientist at the Jet Propulsion Laboratory, about this chemical "fingerprint."
