Cognitive scientist and author Donald Hoffman returns to share discoveries reshaping how we understand perception, consciousness, and reality itself. Drawing from evolutionary game theory and quantum physics, he reveals why we don't see the world as it truly is—and what that means for science, spirituality, and awareness. Hoffman bridges rigorous mathematics with timeless wisdom, showing how awakening to truth means seeing through the interface of perception to what lies beyond.15% off Bon Charge order (Code KNOWTHYSELF):https://boncharge.com/knowthyselfUp to 43% off MUDWTR order + free frother:https://mudwtr.com/knowthyselfTo get your free shilajit today:https://fractalforest.co/knowthyselfAndrés Book Recs: https://www.knowthyselfpodcast.com/book-list___________00:00 Intro03:45 The Probability of Seeing the Truth10:20 Fitness vs. Truth in Evolutionary Theory17:30 The Limits of Our Perception24:15 How Language Shapes Reality31:10 States of Consciousness and Altered Perception38:50 The Virtual Headset of Space and Time42:04 Ad: Bon Charge46:35 Physics Agrees: Spacetime Is Doomed54:25 The Mystery of the Observer1:02:10 No Theory of Everything1:10:40 Consciousness vs. Physicalism1:19:15 Neural Correlates and the Illusion of Causation1:27:45 The Case for Consciousness as Fundamental1:29:38 Ads: MUDWTR, Fractal Forest1:36:20 From Science to Spirituality1:45:10 Introducing Markov Chains1:53:30 The Birth of Trace Logic2:04:20 Time Dilation and the Mathematics of Perception2:18:10 Beyond the Headset: Infinite Consciousness2:36:30 Science, Mystery, and Humility2:54:40 Conclusion___________Episode Resources: https://x.com/donalddhoffmanhttps://www.amazon.com/The-Case-Against-Reality/dp/0141983418/https://www.instagram.com/andreduqum/https://www.instagram.com/knowthyself/https://www.youtube.com/@knowthyselfpodcasthttps://www.knowthyselfpodcast.com

Dr. Ivette Fuentes is a quantum physicist at the University of Southampton, where she studies the strange edge between quantum mechanics and relativity. We try to get on the same page about what it means to bend time, warp gravity, and what gives objects mass. We explore the philosophy of physics, the mystical cult of quantum woo, and how real science confronts the unsettling truth that reality might not exist the way we think it does.

In this episode, Momo sits down with his friend and long-time flatmate, Sohail, a mathematician, for a relaxed conversation about RSA cryptography—how it works and why it was revolutionary. Sohail breaks down the math behind RSA with clear, accessible examples and shares bonus fun facts about mathematics, broken predictions, and the future of math in an open-source world.---Hardy writes: "The 'real' mathematics of the 'real' mathematicians, the mathematics of Fermat and Euler and Gauss and Abel and Riemann, is almost wholly 'useless'."A similar quote is attributed to Gauss, Sohail's beloved mathematician. He jokingly said "I must have committed blasphemy by attributing it to someone else." Here's the exact quote:"Mathematics is the queen of the sciences, and number theory is the queen of mathematics. She often condescends to render service to astronomy and other natural sciences, but under all circumstances she is entitled to first rank."---00:58 – Sohail's background in mathematics03:23 – Math and real-world applications08:11 – Asymmetric cryptography (like public-key cryptography) vs. symmetric cryptography (like the Caesar cipher)11:18 – Remembering Gauss and Gauss Junior15:55 – Is asymmetric cryptography mind-blowing?17:53 – Why RSA cryptography was ground-breaking21:01 – Explaining RSA through the “suitcase” analogy25:09 – The math behind RSA32:18 – What kinds of functions can be used in RSA?34:58 – Clock-like modular functions in RSA40:59 – Fermat's Little Theorem as the basis of RSA48:11 – A more complex function than Fermat's Little Theorem used in RSA50:43 – How your password reaches your bank securely using RSA59:41 – Do my function and my bank's function need to match in RSA?01:01:19 – The importance of prime numbers in cryptography01:04:06 – Accessible resources for math enthusiasts01:05:40 – Nuance: which exponentiation operations are invalid in RSA01:10:25 – Can a hacker intercept and decode an RSA-encrypted message?01:12:28 – Why the move to elliptic curves?01:14:00 – Other real-world applications of number theory01:19:03 – The future of mathematics---Fermat's little theorem explanation:https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fermat's_little_theoremThe channel for explaining math concepts in simple words, 3Blue1Brown.

In this episode James P. Dowling talks us through the unlikely friendship between physicist Wolfgang Pauli and psychologist Carl Jung. Their dialogue on quantum mechanics and archetypes pulled science and myth into the same room, forcing each to reckon with the other's language. Out of their exchanges came visions of atoms haunted by the unconscious, and shadows that reached into equations. We follow their conversation to ask what happens when reason and dream try to share the same desk.PATREON https://www.patreon.com/c/demystifysciPARADIGM DRIFThttps://demystifysci.com/paradigm-drift-showHOMEBREW MUSIC - Check out our new album!Hard Copies (Vinyl): FREE SHIPPING https://demystifysci-shop.fourthwall.com/products/vinyl-lp-secretary-of-nature-everything-is-so-good-hereStreaming:https://secretaryofnature.bandcamp.com/album/everything-is-so-good-hereJames' website: https://jungtoliveby.com/00:00 Go! 00:08:00 The Trickster Archetype and Personal Development00:12:00 Intuition and Rationality in Model Making00:16:00 Consequences of the Enlightenment and Modernity00:20:00 Historical Lessons from the French Revolution00:22:23 Discussion of Instinct vs. Rationality in Human Behavior00:24:12 The Role of Dopamine in Human Decision Making00:26:18 The Impact of Abandoning Symbolism in Modernity00:29:00 Motivation in Physics and the Pursuit of Glory00:33:26 The Dichotomy between Science and the Human Experience00:39:11 Integrating Jungian Concepts with Biology00:44:58 Discussing Jung's Word Association Test and Complexes00:50:12 Understanding Affect, Emotion, and Archetypes00:57:32 Jung's Methodology and Interpretation of Complexes01:05:12 Approaching Jungian Concepts in Personal Development01:07:33 The Quest for Identity and Self-Reflection01:09:37 Generational Differences in Self-Concept01:16:52 Life Stages and the Search for Meaning01:19:10 The Duality of Growth and Identity01:25:09 The Healing Power of Creativity01:28:31 Creative Participation as a Human Experience01:32:06 Internet's Dual Role in Creativity01:36:23 Understanding Creativity and Instinct01:39:51 Renaissance vs. Revolution in Institutions01:41:53 Engaging with the Unconscious Mind01:46:47 Shifting Perspectives on Artistic Process01:48:52 Discussion on Competing Teams in Science01:52:34 The Tradition and Lineage in Science01:56:12 Creativity and Glory in Scientific Pursuits02:04:36 The Nature of Truth and Scientific Frameworks02:09:43 Cultural Narratives in Science and AI Development02:10:29 Exploration of Myth and Reality02:12:06 Darwin's Legacy and Evolutionary Theory02:16:52 Archetypes and Scientific Paradigms02:19:14 The Role of Mathematics in Physics02:23:39 Understanding the Limits of Rational Inquiry02:27:24 Simulation Theory and Metaphysical Speculation02:32:05 The Interplay of Mathematics and Experience02:33:00 Exploration of Human Psyche and Evolutionary Perspectives02:36:12 Jung's Insights on Individual Calling and Collective Responsibility02:39:01 Invitation to Further Exploration and Collaborative Learning#jungianpsychology, #quantummechanics, #carljung, #archetypes, #depthpsychology, #unconsciousmind, #psychoanalysis, #philosophypodcast , #sciencepodcast, #longformpodcastMERCH: Rock some DemystifySci gear : https://demystifysci-shop.fourthwall.com/AMAZON: Do your shopping through this link: https://amzn.to/3YyoT98DONATE: https://bit.ly/3wkPqaDSUBSTACK: https://substack.com/@UCqV4_7i9h1_V7hY48eZZSLw@demystifysci RSS: https://anchor.fm/s/2be66934/podcast/rssMAILING LIST: https://bit.ly/3v3kz2S SOCIAL: - Discord: https://discord.gg/MJzKT8CQub- Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/groups/DemystifySci- Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/DemystifySci/- Twitter: https://twitter.com/DemystifySciMUSIC: -Shilo Delay: https://g.co/kgs/oty671

The rumours continue to circulate about cuts to the government's Access to Work scheme. The scheme provides additional support for disabled people to get into and maintain work - such as specialist equipment and support workers. Following a summer of consultations, Disability Minister Sir Stephen Timms is due to begin a review of the scheme but what do we know at this point? To help dig into this is Liberal Democrat spokesman on work and pensions Steve Darling, who has been trying to seek his own answers from government about what is happening to the scheme, the RNIB and Sassy Wyatt, who is a blind freelance travel journalist and accessibility consultant. Sassy describes the issues she's facing when attempting to renew her award.Design engineering masters student and keen space enthusiast, Abi Way is in the process of setting up a new charity called Boomerang.

Featuring: Ammosart, Ashgar, Belghast, Grace, Tamrielo, and Thalen   We had a pretty meandering show where we thought we ran out of topics… and then suddenly remembered a few more at the very end.  We start with talking about Grace and Bel's adventures in All Ikora PVPVE nonsense with Destiny Rising.  From there, Grace talks about the full release of Slime Rancher 2, and Ammo some adventures in Mathematics with the Final Fantasy Tactics remake.  Xbox seems like it is cooked as they continue their trend of raising the price on everything, this time with Gamepass. Bel talks about revisiting the MySpace 1.0 era with an almost one-for-one clone called SpaceHey. Tam shares some thoughts about why Rise of Ronin did not land for him, but Ghost of Yotei absolutely has.  Bel has popped back into New World and was shocked to find some pretty significant updates to the game.  Then things go off the rails a bit, and we eventually talk about Hades 2 and the Electronic Arts sale to the Saudi Public Investment Fund.   Topics Discussed: Destiny Rising Only Ikora Edition Slime Rancher 2 Release Final Fantasy Tactics Xbox Price Hikes SpaceHey Rise of the Ronin Ghost of Yotei New World Aeternum Hades 2 Electronic Arts Sale

Numbers are so fundamental to our understanding of the world around us that we maybe tend to think of them as an intrinsic part of the world around us. But they aren’t. Humans invented numbers just as much as we invented all of language. This hour, we look at the anthropological, psychological, and linguistical ramifications of the concept of numbers. And we look at one philosophical question too: Are numbers even real in the first place? GUESTS: Brian Clegg: Author of Are Numbers Real?

Jen and Laura have found that students are often the best collaborators to understand what UDL interventions and applications work best in their particular settings. Their project is particularly focussed in statistics and today's conversation will explore how to help students learn and even have a little fun in statistics classes using UDL. From flipping pennies to dolphin tricks, this episode has it all. You can also find the resources associated with today's conversation on the thinkUDL.org website and thank you for listening to the Think UDL podcast.

An absorbing conversation featuring Colin Camerer (CASBS fellow, 1997-98), among the world's most accomplished scholars in both behavioral economics and neuroeconomics, with economist Stephanie Wang (2024-25). Camerer discusses his groundbreaking work on the neuroeconomics of self-control and habit formation; offers insights on generating ideas for, building, then scaling behavioral models; and explains why neuroscience remains a wide-open field awaiting the contributions of so-far mostly reluctant economists and other social scientists.COLIN CAMERER: Caltech faculty page | Camerer research group | on Google Scholar | Wikipedia page | bio at the Decision Lab | bio at MacArthur Foundation | STEPHANIE WANG: Pitt faculty page | Personal website | on Google Scholar | CASBS bio |Works discussed or mentioned in this episode:C.

What does real engagement look like in a math classroom—and how do we build it without losing rigor or pace? We sit down with North Penn's secondary math coaches, Melinda Lyon and Rebecca Rousseau, to unpack practical strategies that put student voice, collaboration, and authentic problem solving at the center of learning. We dive into the balancing act of agency and accountability, exploring how to honor standards and state tests while still offering choice and relevance. You'll hear how UDL-informed structures let students select pathways based on quick self-assessments, how station rotations can blend mini-lessons with targeted practice, and why building a “toolbox” of routines equips teachers to respond to the class they actually have that day. If you're ready to make math feel alive, this conversation offers concrete steps you can try tomorrow. Subscribe, share with a colleague, and tell us: what's one strategy you'll test in your next lesson?

Carissa Phelps joins Dr. Sandie Morgan as they discuss an unprecedented opportunity for trafficking survivors to access $215 million in remission funds from the Backpage settlement, with a critical February 2026 deadline that could finally put survivors ahead of their traffickers for the first time in movement history. Carissa Phelps Carissa Phelps is a licensed attorney, author, and survivor advocate who founded Runaway Girl, Inc., a social purpose corporation providing survivor-led experiential trainings nationwide. She earned both a Juris Doctor and MBA from UCLA in 2007 and holds a B.A. in Mathematics from California State University, Fresno. As a pioneer in survivor-led advocacy, Carissa has spent nearly two decades empowering communities and amplifying survivor voices through innovative strategies. She is the author of the acclaimed memoir "Runaway Girl: Escaping Life on the Streets, One Helping Hand at a Time" and co-producer of the award-winning documentary "Carissa," both powerful tools used worldwide for education and training on child exploitation and trafficking. Key Points The Backpage remission fund represents $215 million available to trafficking survivors who were exploited on Backpage.com (2004-2018) and CityXGuide.com (2018-2020), marking the largest victim compensation fund in trafficking history. Unlike previous restitution processes that required court appearances, this remission process uses a third-party administrator, removing the traumatic requirement for survivors to face their traffickers in court. The February 2, 2026 deadline creates urgency for outreach, as many survivors remain unaware of this opportunity and the application process requires documentation of trafficking and economic losses. Survivors First community was formed as a working group under Love Never Fails Us to conduct weekly webinars, provide step-by-step guidance, and connect survivors with pro bono legal assistance and medical providers. The National Center for Missing and Exploited Children (NCMEC) has partnered with over 15 major law firms to provide free, trauma-informed legal representation to help survivors navigate the application process. Economic losses are calculated at federal minimum wage for a 40-hour work week during the trafficking period, though survivors can request higher amounts with proper documentation of different wages or hours. This funding opportunity represents a chance for the anti-trafficking movement to get ahead of traffickers for the first time, particularly as new technologies like Web3 and blockchain create new frontiers for both exploitation and prevention. Resources 19 – Runaway Girl Survivor's First Community Backpage Survivor Remission Network Transcript [00:00:00] Carissa Phelps: For the first time, for the first time in the history of this movement, we have an opportunity to get ahead of traffickers. [00:00:08] Sandie Morgan: Right now, $215 million is waiting for trafficking survivors. This is money that most survivors don't even know exists. The deadline is February 2nd, 2026. The legal system is finally learned from mistakes. There's no court required here. Victims don't have to face their traffickers to apply for this funding. It's a pathway to justice. [00:00:45] I am Dr. Sandie Morgan from the Global Center for Women and Justice at Vanguard University. And my guest is Carissa Phelps. [00:00:57] She's an attorney, a survivor advocate, founder of Runaway Girl Inc. And she is leading the charge to connect survivors with the Backpage remission fund. Let's join our conversation. [00:01:16] [00:01:22] Sandie Morgan: Okay, so Carissa Phelps, welcome to the Ending Human Trafficking Podcast. I have looked back at our history, and the last time you were here was 14 years ago. [00:01:37] Carissa Phelps: Oh my goodness. [00:01:38] Sandie Morgan: Wow. Listeners, if you wanna hear that interview, it's number 19. So welcome Carissa.

Max Fomitchev Zamilov is a nuclear physicist, inventor, and bubble fusion reactor builder who has also been a central figure in the characterization of the predynastic vases from ancient Egypt. We sit down with him for a conversation that can only happen with an experimental physicist - about overlooked electrical phenomena that diverge from theory, how all the reports of successful low energy nuclear fusion reactions fall apart under close scrutiny, and a wild theory about where these weird vases are coming from.

Mathematics as MethodA Conversation with Alexander V. GheorghiuBryan Kam in conversation with Alex, assistant professor and a New Frontiers Fellow in the School of Electronics and Computer Science at the University of Southampton.As you'll hear in this podcast, my meeting with Alex Gheorghiu was random and fortuitous. In this podcast we discuss whether and how mathematics and logic relate to reality, why Buddhist thought challenges Western categories, and what Gödel's incompleteness theorem might mean for how we understand the world.Alex traces his intellectual development from teenage mathematical realism—the belief that mathematics describes the fundamental structure of reality—to his current anti-realist position. Through studying algebra and analysis during his degree, he came to the view that these mathematical tools are cultural constructs rather than discoveries about an objective reality "A model is just a model in the way that a map is never the land itself."Alex is also a Zen practitioner. We explored the famous Zen koan of Master Joshu, to the question of whether a dog has Buddha-nature. He responds "mu"—which neither affirms it nor denies it, but rather rejects the question. This exemplifies a philosophical move that transcends binary thinking, similar to how the Daodejing presents the Dao as preceding both unity and duality. We discuss how Chinese philosophy, lacking the Indo-European grammatical structures that equate existence and predication, developed fundamentally different approaches to how categories work.Through Michael Dummett's anti-realist philosophy, we explore how meaning emerges from use rather than correspondence to reality. This challenges millennia of Western philosophical assumptions about categories and definitions.The ancient tension between Parmenides (static being) and Heraclitus (dynamic becoming, which I've written about here) continues to shape philosophy today. We examine how Plato attempted to reconcile these positions through his theory of forms, and why this synthesis may have taken Western philosophy down a particular path—one that privileges nouns over verbs, objects over processes, and abstract categories over lived experience.Eugene Wigner's famous question—why mathematics works so unusually well in describing nature—dissolves when viewed through an anti-realist lens. If mathematics is a human tool rather than a discovery of reality's structure, its effectiveness becomes less mysterious and more a reflection of how we've shaped our tools to solve our problems.Alex shares his vision for bringing Gödel's incompleteness theorem into public consciousness the way physics has done with black holes. Having just won the 2025 Graham Hoare Prize for his essay, he argues that this "small technical result" has profound implications for how we understand the limits of formal systems and human knowledge itself.Alex Gheorghiu is an assistant professor at the University of Southampton and honorary fellow at University College London, working in logic with interests spanning philosophy of mathematics, theories of language, and the relationships between reasoning and reality. He's currently developing a mathematical account of Dummett's philosophy and working to make logic and mathematics accessible to wider audiences.Bryan Kam hosts the Clerestory podcast and is writing Neither/Nor, exploring how conceptual and experiential ways of knowing can inform both individual flourishing and our approach to philosophical problems.Recorded at Drake & Morgan, London, where philosophical work happens with "consistently low" productivity but high engagement.

In this episode, Bill and Michael unpack the “Last 8%” of conversations — the toughest parts we often avoid but that carry the most impact. They explore how leaders can build cultures of high connection and high courage, share personal stories from healthcare and startup leadership, and offer strategies for handling tough truths, hiring challenges, and team performance. Bill Benjamin, a global keynote speaker who blends practicality with science in his approach to leadership. With degrees in Mathematics and Computer Science, Bill uses brain-science to help people master emotional intelligence, perform under pressure, and build what he calls a high-performance “Last 8%” culture. Audiences appreciate his high energy and engaging style, whether he is speaking to surgeons, the U.S. Marines, NASA engineers, or executives at Amazon, Intel, and Goldman Sachs. Bill does not just share theory. He is open about the struggles he faced early in his career and how applying the strategies he now teaches made him a stronger leader, husband, and father. He is funny, relatable, and committed to understanding the real challenges organizations face, weaving those directly into his sessions. That is why top organizations from the Mayo Clinic to NASA trust him when performance and leadership matter most.

In this episode, Sharona and Boz dive into the essential role of community in grading reform. They reflect on their own journeys—Boz beginning with a supportive colleague and PLCs in K-12, and Sharona starting out largely on her own in higher ed—and how those experiences shaped their perspectives. Together, they explore why building communities of practice is critical not only for getting started and avoiding burnout but also for ensuring sustainability and institutional change.The conversation highlights:The importance of professional learning communities (PLCs) and faculty learning communities (FLCs) as vehicles for change.How shared spaces like the Grading Conference, Slack groups, and disciplinary networks provide support, momentum, and new ideas.The differences and overlaps between K-12 and higher ed contexts when it comes to collaboration.Research pointing to strategies such as data use, communication, and professional learning as key levers for culture change.Why grading reform done in isolation rarely lasts, and how success multiplies when shared across a community.They also share upcoming opportunities for connection, including the new Alternative Grading Institute (December 17–18, 2025, hosted by the Center for Grading Reform), designed to help educators redesign courses with support and collaboration.This episode is a call to action: whether through local colleagues, national conferences, or virtual networks, community is the cornerstone of lasting grading reform.LinksPlease note - any books linked here are likely Amazon Associates links.

This week we rented the top 3 maths movies of all time – A Beautiful Mind, The Imitation Game and 3 Men and a Baby – all in order to be mathematically competent enough to share a pod with one of the world's greatest number nibblers, Marcus du Sautoy. So highly acclaimed and awarded, we could have filled the entire podcast by listing out his many achievements, Marcus is perhaps best known as a Professor in Mathematics, Fellow of the Royal Society and Simonyi Professor for the Public Understanding of Science at Oxford University. But, as well as being one of the very smartest people on the planet, he's also one of the most engaging and enlightening speakers on the unexpected stories to be found in numbers, having written for several national newspapers and appeared on a number of mathematically-inclined TV shows including Mind Games, The Story of Maths and The Code (not to be confused with The Cube). By now you've probably run out of fingers to tally up all the brilliant things he's done, so we shall just wrap up by saying he's also the author of a series of superb books examining the relationship between maths, creativity, music, games and more – including Blue Prints, The Music of Primes and The Creativity Code.  (Basically, the fact that it took us all this time to mention he's also an OBE tells you all you need to know. He's an impressive dude.) In an episode where Giles wears his disappointing GCSE results like a hi-vis vest of inadequacy, we ponder the search for meaning in numbers and how the stories behind them can help shape ideas and solve problems.     This episode is proudly dedicated to Mr Baleson.  Follow Marcus on LinkedIn ///// Timestamps 04:17 - The Influence of a Great Teacher  06:03 - Mathematics as a Language and Creative Outlet  08:44 - The Intersection of Mathematics and the Arts  12:08 - Exploring Creativity in Mathematics  15:17 - The Relationship Between Structure and Artistic Expression  21:10 - The Cicada's Prime Number Life Cycle  30:51 - Patterns and Expectations in Art and Comedy  33:09 - The Role of Mathematics in Problem Solving  43:15 - The Importance of Storytelling in Science  46:25 - The Search for Meaning in Numbers  48:13 - The Dual Nature of Scientific Thinking  Marcus' Book recommendations are: A Mathematician's Apology by G.H.

Philosophy passage got you spiraling? In this CARS Reading Skills Workshop, Molly and Jack unpack the “Wittgenstein and Mathematics” daily passage (Sept 17) and show you exactly how to read dense, abstract prose without panicking.- How to anchor yourself on clear sentences (and ignore the “interesting nonsense” that isn't testable)- The core claim: mathematics = a kind of logic built on rules — and why that repeats (so it's the main idea)- Early vs. later Wittgenstein: from one monolithic language → many language games (each with its own rules)- How to track shifts between language, logic, and math without getting lost- When to slow down, when to move on, and how to extract the main idea fastPro tips covered:-Use contrast/qualifiers (“in fact,” “later,” “still”) to spot high-yield sentences-Treat ultra-dense lines as support, not the thesisBefore you watch:Read the Sept 17 daily passage: https://jackwestin.com/daily/mcat-practice-passages/cars-practice-passages/wittgenstein-and-mathematics⁠Want to learn more?

You haven't seen psychedelic visuals /experiences explained like this before. We separate qualia from sensory input and map the “geometry” of experience through color—synesthesia, pure hues, after-images, and “is your blue my blue?” Andres demos QRI's GPU tool, a Photoshop for psychedelia built on coupled oscillators and feedback. It recreates LSD/psilocybin's fractal tapestries, DMT's entity-like mirror tunnels, global synchrony, and “white-out.” We cover “psychedelic thermodynamics,” neural annealing and valence flips, and pseudo-time—loops and timeless stretches. The episode makes a case for real-time, in-state phenomenology over questionnaires. This was specifically structured to be informative to both those who have never experienced psychedelics and those who are, let's say, well acquainted.

It might sound strange, but the way you evaluate your relationship could actually depend on the chair you're sitting in. Multiple experiments suggest that posture and stance can influence how you judge your marriage or partnership. In the opening segment, I explain this fascinating connection. https://archive.nytimes.com/well.blogs.nytimes.com/2015/07/08/how-your-stance-may-test-your-marriage We all talk about intuition — that gut feeling when you know what to do without being able to explain why. But is intuition a real thing, or just a name we give to quick decision-making? And if it is real, can you actually strengthen it? To explore these questions, I'm joined by Laura Huang, professor of Management and Organizational Development at Northeastern University, who has also taught at Harvard Business School and the University of Pennsylvania. She's the author of You Already Know: The Science of Mastering Your Intuition (https://amzn.to/45H7iRt). Music isn't just art — it's built on math and science. From Einstein using music for inspiration, to 50,000-year-old instruments unearthed by archaeologists, to the surprising role astronomy plays in the sound of the world's most expensive violins — the links between music and science are everywhere. David Darling, science writer, music producer, and author of A Perfect Harmony: Music, Mathematics and Science (https://amzn.to/45H7zUv) joins me to uncover the hidden science behind the music we love. Finally, as summer fades, so do the mosquitoes — but have you ever wondered why some people seem to get bitten far more than others? The answer lies in how mosquitoes find their targets — and surprisingly, drinking just one common beverage can make you a mosquito magnet. I explain the science in this final segment. https://journals.plos.org/plosone/article?id=10.1371/journal.pone.0028991 PLEASE SUPPORT OUR SPONSORS!!!
