Happy Year of the Dragon, 新年快乐，龙年大吉! Just in time for the Lunar New Year here's, here's a look back at the 1960s when Mwalimu Julius Nyerere, the nation of Tanzania, and Mao's China were fully engaged and setting the pace for future Sino-African Relations. This episode is useful in gaining a little context for today's China-Africa big picture. China's relationship with most African nations goes back to 1955. In this episode, the focus will be on PRC-Tanzania relations but from this relationship you can get a halfway decent big picture of the dynamic back in the Mao era. I hope you enjoy it. I'm back from London, all tanned and rested. Be looking for the interview with Tilly Blyth and Abbie MacKinnon recorded lived at the London Science Museum.

Happy New Year 2024! To celebrate the new year, Spotify sent me a bunch of data points about 2023. I was particularly interested in one question: which conversation moved people the most? I already knew which episode people played the most. (That's episode 17 with Bernardo Kastrup.) But to listen is one thing. To share with friends and family is another. The most shared episode was my conversation with Helen Fisher, titled "A Cultural Biology of Sex, Love, and Monogamy". It was one of my favourite conversations, too. Fisher offered a sweeping take on romantic love, combining fascinating anthropology with practical tips about maintaining passion in relationships. She even convinced my parents to re-design their TV arrangement... Perhaps it deserves one more share. So here you go! ___ ORIGINAL SHOW NOTES Why do we love? And how much does our culture shape the way we do so? In this episode, Ilari talks with Helen Fisher about the powers that drive and shape our romantic relationships. Ilari and Professor Fisher discuss: Is romantic love a modern invention? Is monogamy a social invention? Do men care more about sex? Do women care more about romance? Why agriculture, especially with the plough, caused havoc in romantic relationships. Why divorces might be on the decline. A science-based guide for maintaining romantic relations (based on couples who are still in love after 25 years) Why (certain) antidepressants can kill the sex drive and blunt romantic love (to read more, see the end of the notes) How common is polygamy or polyandry? Where in the world do we find most "free love"? Why did homosexuality evolve? Names mentioned Irenäus Eibl-Eibesfeldt (as recounted by Alison Gopnik in her The Gardener and the Carpenter) Bill Jankowiak Robert Sternberg (see episode 7) Anderson Thompson Bertrand Russell Technical terms and ethnic groups mentioned Ventral tegmental area VTA Hypothalamus Dopamine, testosterone, oxytocin, vasopressin, serotonine Monogamy (serial or lifelong; social or biological) Polygamy (several wives) and polyandry (several husbands) Tlingit (the polyandrous Inuit society with wealthy women) Oneida community (in New York State) Dig Deeper Antidepressants: To read more about the possible effects of SSRIs on sex drive and romantic love, see Tocco and Brumbaugh (2019). Below is a list of possible alternatives or complements to SSRIs (please consult with your doctor in all matters related to pharmaceuticals): Fisher herself suggested that SNRIs could be less risky than SSRIs. Theoretically, dopamine reuptake inhibitors, such as bupropion, could also counter the risks associated with SSRIs (for a review, see Zisook et al. 2006). For alternative or complementary oral treatments of depression, see research on supplementation with a high dosage of Omega 3 (EPA and DHA, not ALA) (for a review, see Bhat & Ara 2015). Polyamory: In the episode, Professor Fisher suggests that many Amazonian tribes have informal polyandry, i.e. women have many partners, albeit only one formal husband. However, there are non-academic sources suggesting that formalised polyandry is common in the Zo'é community in Amazon. For some of these photos of Zo'é and other Amazonian tribes, many of whom exhibit remarkably liberal attitudes to sex, see the recent Amazonia exhibition in the London Science Museum.

Hello and welcome to another episode of the Perception Podcast with me your host Caroline Partridge. Today I'm marking this the 50th episode of the series by inviting back my very first guest Professor of Experimental Psychology Daniel C. Richardson to deep dive into the fitting topic of memory. Once again I'm astounded by the insights shared by Dan as we learn that despite having an immense capacity for recognition, memory is not an objective instrument of recall, but essentially serves as a tool of storytelling, and that tool is highly susceptible to bias, expectation and suggestion. So please join me as we remember the past through a very a different lens. KEY TAKEAWAYS Memory reconstructs events through storytelling, not accurate playback. We fill in details that seem plausible based on assumptions. Repeated retelling of memories introduces distortion and bias over time as we recreate narratives. Stories evolve with each retelling. Visualisation when encoding information creates deeper initial brain activation, improving later recall. Engaging more senses aids memory. Traumatic memories have a true core, but peripheral details woven around them may shift via repeated retelling. This can cloud legal testimony. Memory loss in dementia is often a retrieval deficit rather than erased data. Cues from the past can help reawaken inaccessible memories. To remember names, create vivid (even bizarre) mental images combining the name and the person's appearance in the moment you meet them. Though details may be flawed, personal memories still hold meaning and value. Storytelling gives our lives richness. BEST MOMENTS "When you recall a memory, you're not pressing play on the DVD player of your brain. You are spinning a story and telling yourself that detail." "The more you visualise stuff, that gives you more diverse brain activation and makes it more like you're remembering stuff." "If I was to show you a penny and flip it round, you wouldn't say, hang on, that's the wrong way round." "Because what those things are, are stories and personal stories that like all stories have great meaning and value." "Some of the details might be wrong. The person wasn't wearing that coat that didn't really happen, but that's not the important thing about it." "If your test is just, have you remembered these five things? Then yeah, note-taking is really, really useful." "Rather than just say, oh, hi, you're Doug. Nice to meet you, Doug. Take a few mental seconds to think, how am I going to remember Doug?" "It's just a case of reawakening it. Getting them to tell that story again." ABOUT THE GUEST Daniel C. Richardson is a Professor of Experimental Psychology at University College London. Prior to that, he was an undergraduate at Magdalen College, Oxford, a graduate student at Cornell, a postdoctoral researcher at Stanford, and an assistant professor at UC Santa Cruz. His research examines how individuals' thought processes are related to the people around them. He has authored many scientific articles in cognitive, developmental and social psychology and two popular science books, Man vs Mind and A Dummies Guide to Social Psychology. Daniel has appeared in science documentaries, TV shows such as 'Duck Quacks Don't Echo', and been featured on the Naked Scientists podcast. He consults with a group of scientists at ACN Labs to use the tools of neuroscience to answer real world questions outside of the lab. He has investigated such as how the brain responses to audiobooks, what is special about the experience of live theatre, and whether fast sports cars really do compensate for a lack of manhood. He received three Provost's Teaching Awards from UCL, and has performed shows at the London Science Museum and Bloomsbury theatre combining science, music and live experiments on the group mind of the audience.

Sleep science pioneer Nathaniel Kleitman descended into a cave in 1938 to investigate the nature of our sleep cycle. The experiment was not a success. And while it may not have yielded much evidence - a thrilling news report detailing the subterranean sleep project caught the public imagination. It's one of the stories told in a new book by Kenneth Miller tracing the history of research into sleeping patterns and the impact of sleep deprivation which takes in figures including Pavlov, Joe Borelli, William Dement and Mary Carskadon. John Gallagher talks to Kenneth Miller and to - Dr Diletta da Cristaforo about how contemporary writers are dealing with our fraught relationship with a good night's sleep. Professor Sasha Handley is an expert in the approach to sleep of early modern people - and we consider if they have any tips to help us now. Dr Emily Scott Dearing discusses Turn it Up - a new exhibition at the London Science Museum which explores the soothing sounds - and surprising power of the lullaby. Producer in Salford: Kevin Core Radio 3's evening programmes include Night Tracks and Night Tracks mixes presented by Sara Mohr-Pietsch and Hannah Peel, Unclassified on Thursday evenings with Elizabeth Alker and six hours of music Through the Night - all available to listen at any time on BBC Sounds Mapping the Darkness by Kenneth Miller is out now Dr Diletta de Cristofaro is an Assistant Professor at Northumbria University and is working on a project Writing the Sleep Crisis https://www.writingsleep.com/ Sleeping Well in the Early Modern World is a project run at Manchester University by Professor Sasha Handley https://sites.manchester.ac.uk/sleeping-well/ It includes a series of public events at Ordsall Hall near Salford Quays. Turn it Up an exhibition about music which was at Manchester Science Museum opens in London's Science Museum and includes a section about sleep and music. The BBC Philharmonic Concert at Bridgewater Hall on Saturday October 28th takes us from dawn to dusk in a programme of music by Finnish composers and in London on the same evening Hannah Peel presents a 4 hour concert of Night Tracks Live at Kings Place. Both will become available on BBC Sounds and broadcast on Radio 3.

In the stores of the London Science Museum is a highly significant collection of ship models of Chinese junks. They were commissioned by Sir Frederick Maze who worked as the Inspector General of the Chinese Maritime Customs Service from 1929-1943. Maze was a true Sinohpile and was particularly fascinated by Chinese maritime history. He lived in China at a time of rapid modernisation and could plainly see Chinese maritime traditions disappearing in front of his eyes. As a result he commissioned a series of ship models of Chinese junks and sampans, to be built in Hong Kong and Shanghai by expert Chinese shipwrights. They are an extraordinary collection and demonstrate a stunning variety of Chinese shipbuilding traditions and technology and details of daily life - down to the religious beliefs of the sailors. To find out more Dr Sam Willis spoke with Donna Brunero at the National University of Singapore, an expert on the maritime realm and port cities of Asia. Hosted on Acast.

A new drug has been found to slow the progression of Alzheimer's, with experts hailing it as a "turning point". Donanemab was shown to reduce cognitive decline by up to 35 percent, if the disease is detected early. Roger Highfield, Science Director at the London Science Museum joined Kieran to discuss...

A science-based guide for maintaining romantic relations (based on couples who are still in love after 25 years) Why (certain) antidepressants can kill the sex drive and blunt romantic love (to read more, see the end of the notes) How common is polygamy or polyandry? Where in the world do we find most "free love"? Why did homosexuality evolve? Names mentioned Irenäus Eibl-Eibesfeldt (as recounted by Alison Gopnik in her The Gardener and the Carpenter) Bill Jankowiak Robert Sternberg (see episode 7) Anderson Thompson Bertrand Russell Technical terms and ethnic groups mentioned Ventral tegmental area VTA Hypothalamus Dopamine, testosterone, oxytocin, vasopressin, serotonine Monogamy (serial or lifelong; social or biological) Polygamy (several wives) and polyandry (several husbands) Tlingit (the polyandrous Inuit society with wealthy women) Oneida community (in New York State) Dig Deeper Antidepressants: To read more about the possible effects of SSRIs on sex drive and romantic love, see Tocco and Brumbaugh (2019). Below is a list of possible alternatives or complements to SSRIs (please consult with your doctor in all matters related to pharmaceuticals): Fisher herself suggested that SNRIs could be less risky than SSRIs. Theoretically, dopamine reuptake inhibitors, such as bupropion, could also counter the risks associated with SSRIs (for a review, see Zisook et al. 2006). For alternative or complementary oral treatments of depression, see research on supplementation with a high dosage of Omega 3 (EPA and DHA, not ALA) (for a review, see Bhat & Ara 2015). Polyamory: In the episode, Professor Fisher suggests that many Amazonian tribes have informal polyandry, i.e. women have many partners, albeit only one formal husband. However, there are non-academic sources suggesting that formalised polyandry is common in the Zo'é community in Amazon. For some of these photos of Zo'é and other Amazonian tribes, many of whom exhibit remarkably liberal attitudes to sex, see the recent Amazonia exhibition in the London Science Museum.

The worlds of music, art and science can symbiotically exist and share center stage together to offer a sense of awe, wonder and inspiration about moons of the solar system, and ultimately about our home planet. Award winning composer and pianist Amanda Lee Falkenberg has created THE MOONS SYMPHONY- a project 5-years in the making, consulting with planetary scientists from NASA's JPL to ensure the science was anchored in scientific accuracy. Listen to hear not only the most beautiful and incredible music, but to hear directly from Amanda how science influenced each of the moons within the symphony. THE MOONS SYMPHONY Album is available here: https://lnk.to/TheMoonsSymphony Enjoy learning more about Amanda's journey in creating this masterpiece here: https://www.moons-symphony.com/blog About Amanda Lee Falkenberg: International award-winning composer and pianist Australian born Amanda Lee Falkenberg began her journey into composition through years spent in ballet studios as an accompanist, including the Australian Ballet company in 2000. She wrote over 120 pieces to accompany ballet dancers as they trained, which led to her Moving With Music album series. In 2003 her first full-length orchestral ballet was commissioned, Edge of the World, and performed by the International Barossa Music Festival Orchestra with the prestigious Leigh Warren and Dancers, which received glowing reviews from the national press. Inspired by visual imagery, Falkenberg's natural progression led her to write for film and TV, stage plays, documentaries, animation series and feature films, including her cinematic soundtrack to the screen adaption of Wilfred Thesiger's Arabian Sands. In 2017, she conducted the world premiere of her orchestral suite Sea Trilogy with the London Film Music Orchestra at their Gala Concert. Later that year, she completed her Arabian inspired concerto for piano and orchestra, Crossing of the Crescent Moon, after which she began her next large scale project, THE MOONS SYMPHONY. Described by The Beauty of Space Art Authors Jon Ramer and Ron Miller as "…one of the most extraordinary achievements in space-inspired music, and perhaps the first to be accomplished in direct collaboration with astronomers and scientists", Falkenberg has presented the work and its scientific inspiration to global audiences including the NASA/JPL, Caltech, the Planetary Society of Los Angeles live radio show in Imperial College London 2022, the London Science Museum, COP26 in Glasgow, 2021, the Dubai Expo in 2021, the Euro Planet Science Congress EPSC in Geneva, 2019, and the TEDx Youth Conference, 2018. Falkenberg has received many nominations and won multiple international contests, including the Great American Song Contest, Marvin Hamlisch emerging film composer contest in New York, the International Composition Competition in Italy, Hollywood Music in Media Awards (HMMA), and the Los Angeles Music Awards. Falkenberg is an artist member of the International Association of Astronomical Artists (IAAA) who organized an elaborate multimedia/visual art project in in coordination with THE MOONS SYMPHONY" More about the MOONS SYMPHONY's PERFORMANCES:
In this week's episode, Jack talks to Doug Millard, Curator of the Space Exhibit at the London Science Museum. The pair talk about Doug's job, his favourite 'out of this world' object in the collection, as well as the future of spacecraft and how they could be greener; whether we will eventually holiday in space and the wackiest of activities that have taken place on the International Space Station to date. They talk about the International Space Station coming down and what it will be replaced with, whether Doug will have a chance of salvaging any of the existing one currently in orbit and the two ponder ideas for cleaning up floating rubbish in space and what do astronauts actually do if they have an itchy nose whilst having a walk on the moon!

October 2019: environmental protests are erupting all across London. Extinction Rebellion protesters have blocked roads, glued themselves to aeroplanes and banks, and taken over Trafalgar Square. But this isn’t a story about XR. Scattered by movement through and around the protests, five objects go unseen on the city streets, and each has a story to tell. These unexpected narrators share very different perspectives, looking from the ground up. Looking from the angle of disposable things; gum, glue, chalk; ‘Ground Up' shows how ‘throwaway’ objects are often grounded in timescales far beyond humankind. ‘Ground Up' opens up large questions of permanence and purpose, by sharing the stories of small and everyday things. Ground Up by Fiona Glen Fiona Glen is an emerging writer and artist from Edinburgh, based in London. Her writing has been published in various periodicals and anthologies, and she has read at the London Science Museum and galleries across London. Her audio and multi-media projects have recently been commissioned by BBC x ICA New Creatives and Robert Young Antiques. Ground Up Written & Directed by Fiona Glen Produced by Nikta Mohammadi ‘Gum' – Esme Boggis ‘Teabag' – Olivia Brady ‘Glue' – Fiona Glen ‘Moss' – Greg Esplin ‘Chalk' – Ellora Torchia Sound Design & Composition by Babak Mirsalari Foley Recording by Kaveh Soori Script Consultancy by Molly Morphew & James Ireland Ground Up was originally commissioned by BBC New Creatives programme in partnership with the ICA.

(Photograph courtesy of Dr. Fabienne Cap, and used with permission.) "I'm still as in love with this profession as I was on my first day. It's so cool," says Furhat Robotics Solutions Engineer Dr. Fabienne Cap. And what she's doing is especially so. Furhat Robotics have created the world's first social robotics and conversational systems platform. Their robots can actually make people forget they're talking to a machine! And there are several reasons why this happens. First, the Furhat robots' faces can be customized to become any character. Gender, ethnicity and age can all be changed. After the introduction of a new face engine, just a few weeks ago, these social robots' faces can move in even more lifelike expressions as they speak. They can also communicate in more than 200 voices, in over 35 languages, according to Furhat's website. Or, they can even be customized with a user's own voice! Furhat's mission: to revolutionize human-machine interactions. Their robots have almost unlimited applications. They can give travel directions, become anime characters for special events, teach language lessons, offer health screenings, provide on-the-job training... Actually, the possibilities are limitless. But they all have the same objective: to put people at ease, through their interactions with these very "human" robots. Pioneering robot, serendipitous name Now, why the unique name? Well, according to Furhat Robotics' blog, it was serendipity. Their robotic prototype premiered at the London Science Museum. At that time, the prototype was "a plastic face, but no skull". Cables were protruding, distracting attention from what the creators wanted to emphasize: the face. But, a student had forgotten his hat at the office, that cold, wintry day. It was--you guessed it--a fur hat. Inspired, the creators slipped the hat onto the robot. A perfect fit, it disguised all the cables--so spectators could focus on the face. And visitors to the museum began referring to the robot as "the robot with the fur hat". The name stuck. Today, Furhat Robotics continue to break new ground, with technology geared towards creating human connections. And they have a free virtual conference on social robot interactions, coming up on October 14th! Here's the link for registration. Fabienne explained social robotics, discussed some of the ways Furhat Robotics is implementing their social robots into daily life, and shared a free resource for educators. On this edition of Over Coffee®, we cover: How Fabienne's professional background in languages led to her current work in robotics; A definition of a "social robot" and the concept behind it; Furhat's current pilot programs, using their robots in educational applications in Stockholm; Some of the programming applications for classrooms; A closer look at the myths surrounding the use of robots into the classroom; What it's like for Fabienne, in her daily creative work with Furhat Robotics; Some of the use cases (present and future) where the Furhat social robot can be highly effective; A look at a landmark experiment done by Stanley Milgram in the 1960s, updated this year with two Furhat robots, in which Fabienne participated; The next steps, for the Furhat social robots, in integrating them more into daily life; How the robots' faces can be customized (hint: the possibilities are endless!); And, an exciting free resource for educators (it's OK if you download it but aren't yet in a position to buy a robot!)
Our friend Emily Carding performs their solo show Quintessence this week at the Brighton Fringe Festival (where it won the "Outstanding Theatre Award" in 2019) and talks about how the show was inspired by their love of Shakespeare, science-fiction, and Frankenstein. Featuring the embodiment of an artificial intelligence onstage; starting out life as a commission from the London Science Museum; influences ranging from Shakespeare's Ariel to Star Trek's Data; the power and profundity of silliness; the elimination of barriers provided by Fringe performing spaces; upcoming pub garden performances of As You Like It with the Open Bar Theatre; and real-life warnings about how humanity will ultimately be destroyed — and possibly be reborn. (Length 20:22) The post Emily Carding's ‘Quintessence' appeared first on Reduced Shakespeare Company.
Imagine you could experience worlds that you design and build the way you want them to be; alternative realities that you can enter and leave as you wish. Now, imagine there's no countries, nothing to kill or die for... imagine all the people, livin' life in peace.You may say I'm a dreamer. But I'm not the only one.Certainly not the only one. There are — and there have always been — brilliant minds that dream and work very hard to make wishes come true. The advancement of our knowledge and the convergence of advanced technologies has allowed us to reach goals in many different scientific disciplines that we could merely imagine a few decades ago. From self-driving cars and rovers on Mars; to Artificial Intelligence quantum computing; to clean energy and medical advancement — the future is a lot more present than you think.Some scenarios are more tangible than others; that may be, let's say, a bit more virtual and involve alternative realities. But what is reality anyway? In this podcast, we are joined by an incredible guest to talk about ant colonies, Metaverses, Virtual & Augmented Realities, diversity, ethics, and some thoughts about the future.She tells us about her zoology studies and how she became a Unity/C# games and software developer, specializing in immersive experiences such as AR, VR & XR.Her name is Antonia Forster.

If we want to create smart, adaptable robots, the first thing they need to be able to do is to sense and understand the world around them. In this episode, I explore how robots sense and perceive the world around them with help from Matt Watson (Opteran Technologies), Dr Perla Maiolino (University of Oxford) and Dr Dimitrios Kanoulas (University College London). Matthew T. Watson received a Masters in electronic engineering and a PhD in robotics from the University of Sheffield. In 2019 he joined Opteran Technologies as a senior engineer, helping to advance and bring to market Opteran's natural intelligence technologies. His research interests include autonomous mobile robot and UAV trajectory planning and tracking, dynamically stable robot locomotion systems, and computationally efficient approaches to combined robot perception and control. Dr Perla Maiolino is currently Associate Professor at the Engineering Science Department of the University of Oxford and director of the Soft Robotics lab at The Oxford Robotics Institute. She worked at the development of CySkin Technology, an artificial skin for providing robot with sense of touch. This technology has been shown at the Robots exhibition at London Science Museum in 2017. Her research includes the development of tactile sensing technologies for robots, tactile perception and soft robotics. Dr Dimitrios Kanoulas is a Lecturer in Robotics and Computation at the University College London (UCL), Department of Computer Science, member of the UCL Robotics Institute, and the PI of the Robot Perception and Learning (RPL) lab. His research aims to apply perception and learning in robotics. In particular, he is developing new estimation and planning algorithms for articulated robots that locomote and manipulate in uncertain environments, including real-time methods for sensing, map building, and self/environment modelling.

This week I’ve delved into the archives again. This particular speaker is a bit of a clever chap. He has actually done 3 main stage TED talks and has got a brain the size of a planet. When he speaks, he says “I want the audience to go away knowing less after I’ve spoken than they did before I spoke”. At first, I thought this was crazy, but he’s a very clever man and what he is saying is that people need to be asking better questions, so when they come away from hearing him, they will be asking better questions because better questions lead to better answers and in this time of this uncertainty, that is so important. My guest is neuroscientist, Beau Lotto. Beau Lotto’s aim is to use the principles of perception to enable individuals and organisations to adapt to an increasingly uncertain world. Dr. Beau Lotto is a Professor of Neuroscience, author and entrepreneur. He is a three-time main stage TED speaker (with over 7,000,000 views). He is author of two books: Why We See What We Do’, and ‘Deviate: The Science of Seeing Differently’. He has spoken at the G8, Google’s Zeitgest, Wired and contributed to many television and radio documentaries by the BBC, National Geographic, Netflix and PBS. He is CEO and Founder of the sound-based AR company Acoustigram, and Director of The Lab of Misfits LLC, a neuroperception studio. He and his group have worked with organizations as diverse as Cirque du Soleil, L’Oreal, Charles Koch Foundation, BCW Public Relations and The London Science Museum. The world is in a moment of massive change, and we must adapt individually and organisationally if we are to thrive. Change is essential. The biggest barrier to change is perceptual change. As a leading international neuroscientist who studies perception, Beau seeks to employ the principles by which the brain makes meaning to enable individuals and organizations to literally see differently and thus become more adaptable in a changing world. What differentiates Beau’s scientific research and presentations is that everything he does was discovered by his lab of misfits and is applicable to the real world. Thus, being grounded in his lab’s own research, his proprietary method unlocks meaningful insights that drive adaptability, creativity and innovation. By breaking down the walls of the traditional laboratory and studying humans in their natural habitats, his ‘Lab of Misfits’ creates measurable, interactive insights that informs and transforms from the scientific to the personal. Beau is not a coach. Coaches tend to distil and present other people’s research. Everything that is presented was created and discovered by his Lab of Misfits Studio, which is a truly unique combination of science, art, design, technology and theatre. It is both casual and approachable, challenging, stylish and contrarian. His style of presentation is highly interactive and immersive. “Beau’s incredible session created a transformational state in the audience of leaders. In three hours, he provided the group dozens of new ways to think differently about their problems, how to successfully innovate and build effective teams.
