In this episode of Longevity by Design, host Dr. Gil Blander sits down with Dr. Louise Hecker, Associate Professor of Medicine at Baylor College of Medicine. Together, they dive into Louise's recent research exploring how psilocybin, the active compound in psychedelic mushrooms, may influence aging biology at the cellular and organismal level.Louise shares the story behind her curiosity about psilocybin, sparked by conversations with a friend and fueled by a lack of scientific answers. She explains how her team overcame regulatory hurdles to study the effects of psilocybin on human cells and aging mice. Their findings showed that psilocybin extended cellular lifespan and reduced hallmarks of aging, such as oxidative stress and DNA damage. In mice, regular dosing improved survival, reversed visible signs of aging, and affected organs beyond the brain.The conversation also covers the challenges of translating these findings into humans, the need for more research on dosing and safety, and the importance of funding in moving this field forward. Louise encourages listeners to stay curious, think beyond established paths, and keep an open mind as new questions and discoveries emerge in the science of aging.Guest-at-a-Glance

Send us a textThe brain's mysterious claustrum region, its role in cognitive flexibility, and how substances like alcohol and psychedelics affect neural circuits and behavior. Not medical advice.TOPICS DISCUSSED:Cerebral cortex structure: Described as a six-layered structure with pyramidal neurons and inhibitory interneurons; information flows between layers and regions to process sensory input and enable complex behaviors.Claustrum anatomy & connectivity: A sheet-like subcortical structure embedded in white matter, bidirectionally connected to cortical areas, especially prefrontal regions in rodents, with broader connections in primates and humans suggesting an integrative role.Claustrum function in cognition: Experiments show claustrum activation during task switches from easy to demanding modes, synchronizing cortical networks via inhibition and rebound excitation, potentially enabling flexible behavior.Mouse models in neuroscience: Mice are used for genetic tractability to manipulate and monitor specific circuits, revealing claustrum's role in vigilance tasks but not simple ones.Alcohol's effects on brain circuits: Chronic alcohol promotes inflexible behaviors by altering striatal interneurons and inhibitory inputs, leading to compulsive drinking despite aversive consequences.Psychedelics & brain networks: Psilocybin disrupts default mode and other networks, inhibits claustrum via serotonin 1B receptors, with effects persisting 24 hours, possibly contributing to therapeutic benefits.Evolution of claustrum: Connectivity expands from rodents to humans, shifting from cognitive-specific to broader network control, including anti-correlated states like default mode versus task-engaged.Integration of claustrum & basal ganglia: Claustrum funnels prefrontal signals to basal ganglia for action selection; alcohol may impair this, exacerbating inflexibility in addiction.ABOUT THE GUEST: Brian, PhD is a professor in the Department of Pharmacology and Physiology at the University of Maryland School of Medicine, where he leads a neuroscience lab studying brain circuits underlying flexible and inflexible behaviors using mouse models, with a focus on alcohol use disorder.Support the showHealth Products by M&M Partners: SporesMD: Premium mushrooms products (gourmet mushrooms, nootropics, research).

On this episode of Transmission Interrupted, host Jill Morgan is joined by Dr. Steven Bradfute from the University of New Mexico and Dr. Gabby Frank from Johns Hopkins University to shine a light on hantavirus—a pathogen that often lurks on the edges of our collective radar. From mice in cacti to Four Corners outbreaks and the mystery of why some exposures become critical illnesses while others go unnoticed, our guests unpack the science, history, and uncertainties surrounding hantavirus. You'll learn how these viruses are spread, why symptoms can escalate so quickly, and what clinicians should be on the lookout for (hint: it's all about a great medical history!). Dr. Gabby Frank and Dr. Steven Bradfute also share practical advice for healthcare providers and anyone with a garage or cabin to clean out, explain why “suiting up” with PPE matters, and explore why preventing exposure is still our best defense—since, unfortunately, there's no cure yet. If you've ever wondered about rodent-borne diseases, what really happened in Patagonia, or the science behind cleaning up mouse droppings, tune in for an eye-opening discussion packed with real-life clinical pearls, expert insights, and a few unexpected laughs.

HEALTH NEWS Wild Blueberries May Benefit the Heart, Metabolism, and Microbiome Nitrate in drinking water linked to increased dementia risk while nitrate from vegetables is linked to a lower risk, researchers find Afternoon naps clear up the brain and improve learning ability Screen time may increase body fat in children Simple dietary change may slow liver cancer in at-risk patients Wild Blueberries May Benefit the Heart, Metabolism, and Microbiome University of Maine & Florida State University, January 28, 2026 (SciTech Daily) A newly published scientific review brings together a growing body of research on how wild blueberries may influence cardiometabolic health. This area of health includes measures such as blood vessel function, blood pressure, blood lipids (cholesterol and triglycerides), and blood sugar (glucose). The review was developed following an expert symposium. Twelve specialists took part, representing fields that included nutrition, food science, dietetics, nutrition metabolism and physiology, cardiovascular and cognitive health, gut health and microbiology, and preclinical and clinical research models. The paper evaluates findings from 12 human clinical trials conducted over 24 years across four countries that examined the cardiometabolic effects of wild blueberries. Across the clinical research examined, improvements in blood vessel function stand out as one of the most reliable findings. Studies included in the review suggest that wild blueberries may support endothelial function (or how well blood vessels relax and respond to stimuli). Some trials reported effects within hours of a single serving, while others observed benefits after consistent intake over weeks or months. In one six-week clinical study highlighted in the review, adults who consumed 25 grams of freeze-dried wild blueberry powder each day showed increases in beneficial Bifidobacterium species. The authors identify the gut microbiome as a likely contributor to the cardiometabolic effects linked to wild blueberries. The review also suggests wild blueberry intake may support certain aspects of cognitive performance. Improvements were observed in measures such as thinking speed and memory. Several of the reviewed studies reported clinically meaningful improvements in blood pressure, blood sugar regulation, and lipid markers, including total cholesterol, LDL cholesterol, and triglycerides, after weeks of wild blueberry consumption. Nitrate in drinking water linked to increased dementia risk while nitrate from vegetables is linked to a lower risk, researchers find Edith Cowan University (Australia) & Danish Cancer Research Institute, January 28 2026 (Eurekalert) New research from Edith Cowan University (ECU) and the Danish Cancer Research Institute (DCRI) investigated the association between the intake of nitrate and nitrite from a wide range of different sources, and the associated risk of dementia. The research, which investigated the association between source-specific nitrate and nitrite intake and incident and early-onset dementia, followed more than 54,000 Danish adults for up to 27 years and found that the source of nitrate was of critical importance in a diet. The researchers found that people who ate more nitrate from vegetables had a lower risk of developing dementia, while those who consumed more nitrate and nitrite from animal foods, processed meats, and drinking water, had a higher risk of dementia. When we eat nitrate-rich vegetables, we are also eating vitamins and antioxidants which are thought to help nitrate form the beneficial compound, nitric oxide, while blocking it from forming N-nitrosamines which are carcinogenic and potentially damaging to the brain. Unlike vegetables, animal-based foods don't contain these antioxidants. In addition, meat also contains compounds such as heme iron which may actually increase the formation of N-nitrosamines. This is why nitrate from different sources may have opposite effects on brain health. This is the first time that nitrate from drinking water has been linked to higher risks of dementia. The study found that participants exposed to drinking-water nitrate at levels below the current regulatory limits, had a higher rate of dementia. Water doesn't contain antioxidants that can block formation of N-nitrosamines. Without these protective compounds, nitrate in drinking water may form N-nitrosamines in the body. Afternoon naps clear up the brain and improve learning ability University of Freiburg (Germany) & University of Geneva, January 28 2026 (Eurekalert) Even a short afternoon nap can help the brain recover and improve its ability to learn. In a study published in the journal NeuroImage, researchers at the University of Freiburg and the University of Geneva show that even a nap is enough to reorganize connections between nerve cells so that new information can be stored more effectively. The new study shows that a short sleep period can relieve the brain and put it back into a state of readiness to learn – a process that could be particularly beneficial for situations with high work load. The study examined 20 healthy young adults who either took a nap or stayed awake on two afternoons. The afternoon nap lasted on average 45 minutes. The results showed that after the nap, the overall strength of synaptic connections in the brain was reduced – a sign of the restorative effect of sleep. At the same time, the brain's ability to form new connections was significantly improved. The brain was therefore better prepared for learning new content than after an equally long period of wakefulness. Screen time may increase body fat in children Ningbo University (China), January 15 2026 (News-Medical) A study published in Frontiers in Endocrinology reveals that higher screen time is associated with higher levels of body fat accumulation and less favorable obesity-related metabolic indicators in school-aged children, and that cardiorespiratory fitness can significantly influence this association. The study included a total of 1,286 third-grade students from six schools in Ningbo. Participants' cardiorespiratory fitness was assessed using the 20-meter shuttle run test. Information on screen time, physical activity, and diet quality was obtained from self-reported questionnaires. The study analysis indicated that higher screen time is significantly associated with increased visceral fat accumulation, body fat mass index, and body fat percentage, and with lower cardiorespiratory fitness and slightly lower blood levels of HDL-C. The study found that participants with more than two hours of daily screen time exhibit significantly increased visceral fat, fat mass index, and fat percentage, and significantly reduced cardiorespiratory fitness compared to those with less than two hours of daily screen time. Simple dietary change may slow liver cancer in at-risk patients Rutgers University, January 29 2026 (Medical Xpress) People with compromised liver function may be able to reduce their risk of liver cancer or slow its progression with a simple dietary change: eating less protein. A Rutgers-led study has found that low-protein diets slowed liver tumor growth and cancer death in mice, uncovering a mechanism by which a liver's impaired waste-handling machinery can inadvertently fuel cancer. When people consume protein, the nitrogen can be converted into ammonia, a substance that's toxic to the body and brain. A healthy liver typically processes this ammonia into harmless urea, which is excreted via urine. The clinical observation that the liver's ammonia-handling machinery is usually impaired in liver cancer patients is decades old. Zong's team utilized a technique to induce liver tumors in mice without crippling the ammonia-disposal system. The researchers then used gene-editing tools to disable ammonia-processing enzymes in some—but not all. The results were striking: Mice with disabled enzymes and higher ammonia levels developed heavier tumor burdens and experienced a much faster rate of mortality than those with functioning systems. The researchers then tested a straightforward intervention: reducing dietary protein. Mice fed low-protein food exhibited dramatically slower tumor growth and lived significantly longer than those that received food with standard levels of protein BREAK Introducing the Clips For Today Sharmine Narwani : The Slow Strangling of Syria and Lebanon - 4:55 Inventing a pandemic - by Maryanne Demasi, PhD - MD REPORTS - full - 2:49 Did Covid mRNA boosters train the immune system to stand down? - full (Maryanne Demasi) -2:38 Bryce Nickels on X: "-@R_H_Ebright explains why dangerous gain-of-function research should be BANNED https://t.co/2TaLBzzkU0" / X - full (Richard E Bright explains why dangerous gain of function research should be banned) - 3:17

In this episode of Microsoft 365 Distilled, the boys celebrate Burns Night in true Scottish fashion: with tartan‑level enthusiasm and a whisky that would make even the Bard raise an approving eyebrow.They go hunting for insights in places no one has ever thought to look.The mission?To see whether the timeless wisdom of Burns, actual old-school poetry can shed new light on the ever evolving universe of Microsoft 365. And to everyone's surprise (including their own), it absolutely does.Expect hilarious interpretations, dramatic readings, suspicious Scottish accents, and philosophical detours that somehow make perfect sense. Along the way, they uncover governance lessons hiding between the verses, collaboration metaphors tucked into the stanzas, and even a few productivity tips disguised as 18th-century poetic flair.It's part whisky tasting, part literary adventure, part tech nerd‑fest—and 100% Distilled chaos in the best possible way.So pour yourself a dram, warm up your best “Auld Lang Syne,” and join the boys as they celebrate tradition, toast the future, and prove once again that wisdom, like whisky, only gets better with age.

The kernel is ground zero for AI coding wars, and Torvalds is ranting about it. The Linux foundation made good use of their funds last year, and the average kernel bug has a surprisingly long life. Then we talk about the possible death of the middle-click, Steam and ARM64, and the liquorix kernel. There's a budgie release and big Raytracing performance uplift! For tips we have the fresh text editor, alsa-info, and clear! You can find the show notes at https://bit.ly/3N79tHc and Happy linuxing!

This episode is another very personal one. My son eight year old son William was diagnosed with medulloblastoma nearly a year ago. He's since on embarked on an incredible journey of brain surgery, radiation, and chemotherapy – and recently rang the bell completing his treatment right before Thanksgiving.His response to this adversity has been nothing short of amazing and awe-inspiring. His smile and laughter has never ceased, his poise and strength are well-beyond his years, and I've chronicled his story on LinkedIn – where you'll see his incredible strength and optimism on display. Along the way, I've met some incredible people and world changers. One of those world changers is Dr. Jim Olson from Seattle Children's. James M. Olson, MD, PhD, is program director for the Invent at Seattle Children's Postdoctoral Scholars Program, a principal investigator in the Ben Towne Center for Childhood Cancer and Blood Disorders Research, and a professor at the University of Washington School of Medicine. He co-founded three biotechnology companies and has mentored more than 30 graduate students and postdoctoral research fellows. He chaired a national phase III clinical trial for high-risk medulloblastoma patients that led to a 20% improvement in five-year survival for Group 3 patients. Dr. Olson is the principal investigator on multiple projects that focus on developing effective new therapies for pediatric brain tumors; methods that allow surgeons to better visualize the border of brain cancer and normal brain, and the discovery of immunotherapeutics for several cancers. Dr. Olson's game changing research in immunotherapy could potentially revolutionize the standard of care as we know it – and has the potential to replace radiation and chemotherapy. In lab trials, this treatment completely eliminated cancer in 90% of brain tumors that are otherwise universally fatal in children. Mice that received the treatment were alive and disease-free, while the untreated mice died within 18 days.In this podcast, we discuss his research, next steps for funding and clinical trials – and what this could mean for families moving forward. Please enjoy this conversation and donate to Dr. Olson's groundbreaking immunotherapy trial here.
In today's episode recorded as a wrap up of Africa's MICE performance in 2025 with insights from a familiar voice on the podcast, Glenton de Kock. He unpacks a year he describes as “not only successful, but extremely busy,” highlighting South Africa's hosting of the G20 alongside a packed calendar of trade exhibitions and association meetings. Together, these milestones made 2025 a standout year for the region's business events sector.
An animal study found that the smell of fatty foods during pregnancy and breastfeeding, even without eating them, can alter a child's brain development and make them more prone to obesity later in life Mice exposed to bacon-scented diets in the womb and through milk developed insulin resistance and gained more weight in adulthood, despite eating the same healthy diets as control mice The scent exposure rewired appetite and reward pathways in the brain, particularly affecting dopamine and AgRP neurons responsible for hunger regulation Researchers found 155 distinct odor molecules from fatty foods entering amniotic fluid and breast milk, directly shaping the offspring's sensory environment You can reduce your child's future risk of weight gain by managing food smells in your home, reducing inflammation, avoiding processed seed oils, and retraining your sense of smell with natural scents

Happy New Year! We start 2026 off with a puzzle: How can four people all work on the same picture book at the same time? And why? What's the process, and how on earth do you embroider every page? When Kate told Betsy she wanted a New Year's book, she failed to specify precisely what kind of New Year's. And since the Vietnamese new year of Tet occurs in January/February, Betsy took that as permission to finally tackle this fascinating 2003 publication. We go over our past predictions and resolutions, Tet, bananas, embroidery, and what a "leather mouse" might be.

At any given time, millions of lab mice are being used in research facilities nationwide. And yet nearly all of them can be connected back to a single source: The Jackson Laboratory in Bar Harbor, Maine, where the modern lab mouse was invented.What started as a research project aimed at understanding heredity is now a global business. Research on lab mice has led to more than two dozen Nobel prizes, helped save countless human lives, and has pushed science and medicine to new heights. But behind it all is a cost that's rarely discussed outside of the ethics boards that determine how lab mice are used. In this episode, we hear the story of how a leading eugenicist turned the humble mouse from a household pest into science's number one guinea pig. Plus, we get a rare peek inside the Jackson Laboratory - where over 10,000 strains of lab mice DNA are kept cryogenically frozen. Featuring Bethany Brookshire, Kristin Blanchette, Lon Cardon, Rachael Pelletier, Karen Rader, Nadia Rosenthal and Mark Wanner. Produced by Jeongyoon Han.
