[This is one of the finalists in the 2025 review contest, written by an ACX reader who will remain anonymous until after voting is done. I'll be posting about one of these a week for several months. When you've read them all, I'll ask you to vote for a favorite, so remember which ones you liked] “The scientific paper is a ‘fraud' that creates “a totally misleading narrative of the processes of thought that go into the making of scientific discoveries.” This critique comes not from a conspiracist on the margins of science, but from Nobel laureate Sir Peter Medawar. A brilliant experimentalist whose work on immune tolerance laid the foundation for modern organ transplantation, Sir Peter understood both the power and the limitations of scientific communication. Consider the familiar structure of a scientific paper: Introduction (background and hypothesis), Methods, Results, Discussion, Conclusion. This format implies that the work followed a clean, sequential progression: scientists identified a gap in knowledge, formulated a causal explanation, designed definitive experiments to fill the gap, evaluated compelling results, and most of the time, confirmed their hypothesis. Real lab work rarely follows such a clear path. Biological research is filled with what Medawar describes lovingly as “messing about”: false starts, starting in the middle, unexpected results, reformulated hypotheses, and intriguing accidental findings. The published paper ignores the mess in favour of the illusion of structure and discipline. It offers an ideal version of what might have happened rather than a confession of what did. The polish serves a purpose. It makes complex work accessible (at least if you work in the same or a similar field!). It allows researchers to build upon new findings. But the contrived omissions can also play upon even the most well-regarded scientist's susceptibility to the seduction of story. As Christophe Bernard, Director of Research at the Institute of Systems Neuroscience (Marseilles, Fr.) recently explained, “when we are reading a paper, we tend to follow the reasoning and logic of the authors, and if the argumentation is nicely laid out, it is difficult to pause, take a step back, and try to get an overall picture.” Our minds travel the narrative path laid out for us, making it harder to spot potential flaws in logic or alternative interpretations of the data, and making conclusions feel far more definitive than they often are. Medawar's framing is my compass when I do deep dives into major discoveries in translational neuroscience. I approach papers with a dual vision. First, what is actually presented? But second, and often more importantly, what is not shown? How was the work likely done in reality? What alternatives were tried but not reported? What assumptions guided the experimental design? What other interpretations might fit the data if the results are not as convincing or cohesive as argued? And what are the consequences for scientific progress? In the case of Alzheimer's research, they appear to be stark: thirty years of prioritizing an incomplete model of the disease's causes; billions of corporate, government, and foundation dollars spent pursuing a narrow path to drug development; the relative exclusion of alternative hypotheses from funding opportunities and attention; and little progress toward disease-modifying treatments or a cure. https://www.astralcodexten.com/p/your-review-of-mice-mechanisms-and

Is your garage more of a storage locker than a place to park your car? In this episode of https://FixItRadio.com, John Rush launches a timely deep dive into the cluttered corners of our homes—starting with the garage. Why do we hold onto broken mounts, old paint cans, or spare parts we haven't touched in years? Could all that “just-in-case” inventory be costing you space, money, and even security? As John and Larry Unger dig deeper, they reveal just how easily clutter can turn into chaos. Are you unknowingly creating the perfect rodent playground? From labeling and dating items to utilizing $5 clear plastic bins and QR-coded storage systems, the episode offers modern tools and clever hacks to keep your space rodent-proof and organized. It's not just about tidying up—it's about making your garage functional again. Then comes a jaw-dropping twist: a listener calls in to reveal that mice stashed 25 pounds of cat food inside a drainage tube—right under the noses of the barn cats! The story sparks a bigger conversation with Jeff about how clutter, old tools, and outdated equipment might be less treasure and more trash. Are your corded drills, air nailers, and vintage gear now obsolete in a cordless world? From nostalgic holdouts to cutting-edge upgrades, this episode is part how-to, part reality check—and it just might inspire you to take back your space.

Sitges ha aconseguit consolidar-se com el segon destí MICE de Catalunya, es a dir, el segon destí preferit a l'hora de realitzar reunions, conferències, viatges empresarials o esdeveniments corporatius, i a més ho fa coincidint amb el 20è aniversari del Sitges Convention Bureau, la marca que usa el municipi per a accions comercials de cara al mercat de congressos i reunions. L'acte de celebració es va dur a terme el passat divendres a l'Hotel ME Terramar i va comptar amb la presència del regidor de turisme de Sitges Xavier Ripoll, la diputada de turisme Ana Herrera i l'alcaldessa Aurora Carbonell. Entre els assistents nombrosos representants del sector i convidats que van gaudir, entre d'altres, del joc de preguntes i respostes proposat pe dinamitzador de l 'acte Jordi Nexus i Maria Sánchez-Quintana, cap del convention bureau a Sitges, en el que es repassaven els vint anys del Sitges Convention Bureau. L'entrada 20 anys del Sitges Convention Bureau ha aparegut primer a Radio Maricel.

Mice and the Ice Capade by Carley Smith Amazon.com The poor family of mice was exhausted following a long summer of storing rice for the winter months. Together, they learned ways to create fun and simple ways to use things they had and things they found so the whole neighborhood could enjoy a huge celebration on ice.

PortAventura Convention Centre ha obtenido el Premio de Oro al “Mejor Centro de Convenciones Internacional” en los micebook Awards 2025, celebrados en Londres. El jurado valoró su innovación, sostenibilidad y excelencia operativa, destacando la capacidad del recinto para crear experiencias MICE singulares en un entorno único.La reputación del turismo en España ha caído notablemente debido al creciente descontento social por la masificación y el impacto del sector en el precio de la vivienda, según el “Barómetro de Percepción Turística” de LLYC. El estudio señala que los mensajes críticos sobre la gentrificación se han convertido en el eje del debate público, haciendo que el apoyo social al turismo haya descendido un 35% desde 2022.Vietnam, Mauricio, Japón y Francia encabezan la lista de los destinos más buscados para el verano de 2025, según un reciente análisis de la aerolínea Emirates. La aerolínea ha detectado un aumento general del 7% en las búsquedas de vuelos para los meses de julio y agosto, marcando una clara tendencia hacia la exploración de nuevas culturas y lugares menos transitados.La Agencia Catalana de Turismo ha presentado una nueva estrategia de marketing turístico centrada en el “turismo consciente”, que prioriza el bienestar de la comunidad local y la sostenibilidad. Por primera vez, se incorpora al residente como actor clave en la planificación, con el objetivo de pasar de un modelo de “más” turismo a uno de “mejor” turismo de cara a 2028.Exceltur prevé un crecimiento más moderado del turismo este verano, con un aumento de ventas del 2,7%, frente al 4,5% registrado en el segundo trimestre. Por ello, ha revisado a la baja sus previsiones para el cierre de 2025, situando el crecimiento del PIB turístico en un 3,3% frente al 4% estimado en abril. La incertidumbre geopolítica influye en este ajuste, aunque el sector mantiene una perspectiva positiva pero cautelosa.

What if joy became the most important metric when we organised events? Or, to put it another way, why are so many events uninspiring and not very joyful?Episode SummaryOn this episode, I'm joined by event strategist, educator, and author Tahira Endean to explore a provocative question: what if we measured events not just by financial metrics, but by the joy they deliver?Drawing from her new book Our KPI is Joy: How Live Events Catalyze Happiness, Productivity and Trust, Tahira shares deep insights from decades of experience curating and designing events at scale, including her work with IMEX, one of the largest global gatherings in the meetings and events industry. We discuss why so many events feel soul-crushingly mediocre and how that reflects a fundamental misunderstanding of what people really need when they come together. Tahira challenges the industry's obsession with surface-level logistics and proposes a reorientation around human experience.She unpacks everything from the science of connection and discomfort to the power of design, food, space, and unexpected joy to foster trust and productivity. Whether you're an event professional, a business leader, or simply someone who's sat through one too many lifeless conferences, this conversation will challenge how you think about convening people. We discuss beanbags, sound baths, shrimp, secret handshakes, and how small design decisions can profoundly impact how people feel, learn, and connect. And that's what makes joy — not an emoji or indulgence — but a powerful performance indicator.Guest Bio: Tahira EndeanTahira is an experienced event strategist, educator, and co-founder of Strategy Table. She serves as Head of Programme for IMEX, where she curates content for two of the world's largest MICE (Meetings, Incentives, Conventions, and Exhibitions) industry gatherings in Frankfurt and Las Vegas. With over three decades in the events industry, Tahira has developed a reputation for her forward-thinking approach to event design and human-centric experiences. She teaches event strategy and design, is a passionate advocate for experiential innovation, and brings a behavioural lens to the way we bring people together. She believes in the power of micro-moments, psychological safety, and events as catalysts for human connection and organisational trust.AI-Generated Timestamp Summary0:00:02 - 0:14:48: Maximizing Event Joy for ProductivityThe episode kicks off with a discussion on how joy can be a key performance indicator (KPI) for events. Tahira Endeen, an experienced event strategist, talks about why many events end up being mediocre and how small design changes can significantly enhance the experience. The conversation highlights the importance of joy in fostering happiness, productivity, and trust during gatherings, challenging the traditional business mindset to value joy as much as other KPIs. 0:14:48 - 0:29:08: Designing Events for Human ConnectionThis segment delves into the principles of intentional event design. Tahira and the host explore how creating environments that balance comfort and stimulation can lead to more meaningful interactions and learning experiences. They discuss examples like the 11th International Conference on AIDS, where well-designed events led to groundbreaking innovations. The focus is on nurturing individual experiences over catering to the masses.0:29:08 - 0:37:32: Designing Thoughtful & Engaging EventsThe focus here is on fostering connections and joy in professional events through thoughtful design. Strategies like facilitating introductions by senior managers and organising diverse breakout sessions are explored. The segment underscores the importance of measuring engagement and joy, emphasizing a human-centered approach that considers attendees' needs and enhances productivity and satisfaction.0:37:32 - 0:49:24: Embracing Experimentation and FailureTahira shares insights on the value of experimentation and adaptability in event planning. Through a personal anecdote, she illustrates how innovative ideas, initially met with scepticism, can yield significant benefits. The conversation encourages making small changes, embracing failures as learning opportunities, and maintaining a proactive attitude to achieve unexpected successes. 0:49:24 - 1:01:30: Navigating Event Chaos for SuccessThe episode explores the beauty of embracing imperfections in event planning. Tahira and the host discuss how handling mistakes with grace and humour can add charm to events. They advocate for flexibility in event processes to enhance experiences for both speakers and attendees, maintaining the magic even amidst logistical challenges.LinksIMEX Events - https://imexevents.com/Strategy Table - https://strategytable.co/Our KPI is Joy Book - https://www.amazon.com/Our-KPI-Joy-Happiness-Productivity-ebook/dp/B0DXVX6XX8Tahira on LinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/in/tahira-endean-msc-citp-cmp-ced-918a868/?

If you could take two pills (once a week) and live 30% longer, would you? Because a study on mice using drugs approved for humans suggests you may have to answer this question soon.

Cyclic shifts in estradiol levels coincide with changes in dendritic spine density and the activity of place cells in the CA1 region of the hippocampus, a new study shows.

In this episode, Therese Markow and Dr. Cheryl Hawkes discuss the increasing scientific evidence that maternal obesity affects the developing fetal brain.  While many of the effects manifest early, in infant temperament and childhood cognitive (IQ) decrements, other effects do not show up until years later, in adult psychiatric and neurodegenerative problems.  The physical bases for these changes in fetal brains are also clearly evidenced in laboratory model systems, such as mice, where the maternal diets can be controlled, and the offspring not only can be given behavioral tests, but their brains can be dissected to reveal the changes in the blood vessels caused by obese mothers.    Key Takeaways: Children born to obese mothers have lower IQs and poorer motor, spatial, and verbal skills. Mice and rodents have similar brain development to humans, which is why rodent study models are so beneficial to science. Brain maturation takes many years. Your brain is fully formed at birth, but continues to mature and change into your mid-twenties.   "Because of the rise in obesity globally, a lot of people have started to look, rather than looking at famine…, to now shift our attention to looking at the long-term effects of obesity because 30% of women around the world, over the age of 18, are now considered to be obese." —  Dr. Cheryl Hawkes   Connect with Dr. Cheryl Hawkes:  Lancaster University Profile: Dr. Cheryl Hawkes     Connect with Therese: Website: www.criticallyspeaking.net Threads: @critically_speaking Email: theresemarkow@criticallyspeaking.net   Audio production by Turnkey Podcast Productions.

It's the end of everything! Welcome back to Part 2 of our season finale featuring Dr. Charles Liu, co-host Allen Liu, and our guest archaeology expert and author, Hannah Liu, MEd. (If you haven't caught up to Part 1, we highly recommend you do before embarking on the next leg of this journey! Listen here or wherever you get your podcasts!) We pick right up where we left off, with the next question from our audience. Daniela asks, “If a black hole hits the Sun, will Earth be destroyed?” Chuck explains a few ways a black hole can mess with our day, including the fact that long before any actual collision took place, the Sun would start shedding material that would destroy us. He compares that unlikely event to the actual example of cosmic destruction we're watching in NGC 4676 – aka “The Mice” – which are two galaxies swirling together in a death spiral playing out over hundreds of millions of years. Naturally, this leads Chuck to ponder what happens when civilizations fall apart here on Earth, and Hannah brings up the collapse of the Roman Empire. As she explains, “the fall of Rome happened a lot of times, and also, no time.” From 44 BCE and the assassination of Julius Caesar, to the 476 invasion and conquest of Rome by the Germanic tribes denoted by Edward Gibbon in The History of the Decline and Fall of the Roman Empire, to the fact ever since nations have claimed to be the descendants or inheritors of Rome. Chuck points out the influence of Gibbon's book on Isaac Asimov's “Foundation” series, followed by a very quick romp through “Decline and Fall of America” literature including The Handmaid's Tale, A Canticle for Liebowitz, Man in the High Castle, and the zombie apocalypse tour de force, World War Z. Then it's time for another question from the audience: Michael says, “I heard that scientists brought back a dire wolf. Could they bring back dinosaurs or animals that could destroy us all?” It turns out, these resurrected animals are just gray wolves that have been engineered to have some characteristics of the extinct predator. It's still a pretty impressive feat, though, and you'll hear how they collected bits and pieces of dire wolf DNA to “resurrect them.” Allen also brings up similar modification experiments they're doing on chickens to make them more dinosaur-like. Allen points out that bioengineered germs are far more likely to cause our destruction than resurrected dinosaurs, regardless of the world envisioned in the Jurassic Park franchise. And speaking of Michael Crichton, Chuck gives us a breakdown of his sci-fi classic, The Andromeda Strain, about bacteria from space that cause a biological outbreak here on Earth. Hannah points out that historically, some of the biggest killers of human beings have been plagues. She gives us a guided tour of the bubonic plagues, from the Black Death, which may have wiped out as much as 60% of the population of Europe, to the Plague of Justinian a thousand years earlier that killed as many as 100 million people, while also name dropping the Antonine Plague and the Spanish Flu!) And that's it Season 4 of The LIUniverse. Stay tuned for Season 5 after the summer.

Since it was seized from the Knights Templar in the 14th century, the Inner Temple in London has housed acolytes of a different sort: men (and eventually women) who serve as advocates of the law. Sally Smith spent her legal career—and now is spending her retirement—inside the 15 acres that comprise the Inner Temple, now one of the four Inns of Court. Smith has previously written non-fiction books about historical crimes and legal figures. When she decided to turn her hand to writing fiction, the familiar setting of the Inner Temple was the perfect setting for her new mystery novel, A Case of Mice and Men. Set in 1901, mere months after the death of Queen Victoria, A Case of Mice and Men introduces a new (and very reluctant) sleuth to the literary scene. Sir Gabriel Ward KC is happiest either when holed up in his Inner Temple lodgings with his books, or when making a compelling case in front of the High Court judges. A solitary, particular and cerebral man, Ward is not looking for excitement beyond the intellectual. But he finds it early one morning when he trips over the body of the Lord Chief Justice of England, which has been left on the doorstep of his professional chambers. The ancient privileges afforded to the Inner Temple mean that no policeman is allowed to enter without permission, and an aghast Ward is told he will conduct the investigation himself or be at risk of being kicked out of his lodgings. Unused to the world outside the Temple walls, or of conversing with any women apart from his old nanny or his mother, Ward must stretch himself to discover who killed Lord Norman Dunning. All the while, Ward is also wrestling with a knotty legal issue involving the rights to a bestselling children's book, and will need to exercise all his skills on behalf of his client, the publisher of Millie the Temple Church Mouse. Written by a mysterious author, the book has been a runaway success, bringing throngs of children to the Temple Church and spawning toys, games and an American publishing deal. Now that the author has reportedly surfaced and is demanding her share of the money and control of the intellectual property, what will happen to Millie the Temple Church Mouse? In this episode of the Modern Law Library, Smith and the ABA Journal's Lee Rawles discuss the launch of this new series, which will contain at least three books following Ward's adventures. Smith describes her own career as a barrister, and why she chose to set the series at the beginning of the Edwardian era. She also discusses the issues of class, gender and the complex world within the walls of the Inner Temple.

Since it was seized from the Knights Templar in the 14th century, the Inner Temple in London has housed acolytes of a different sort: men (and eventually women) who serve as advocates of the law. Sally Smith spent her legal career—and now is spending her retirement—inside the 15 acres that comprise the Inner Temple, now one of the four Inns of Court. Smith has previously written non-fiction books about historical crimes and legal figures. When she decided to turn her hand to writing fiction, the familiar setting of the Inner Temple was the perfect setting for her new mystery novel, A Case of Mice and Men. Set in 1901, mere months after the death of Queen Victoria, A Case of Mice and Men introduces a new (and very reluctant) sleuth to the literary scene. Sir Gabriel Ward KC is happiest either when holed up in his Inner Temple lodgings with his books, or when making a compelling case in front of the High Court judges. A solitary, particular and cerebral man, Ward is not looking for excitement beyond the intellectual. But he finds it early one morning when he trips over the body of the Lord Chief Justice of England, which has been left on the doorstep of his professional chambers. The ancient privileges afforded to the Inner Temple mean that no policeman is allowed to enter without permission, and an aghast Ward is told he will conduct the investigation himself or be at risk of being kicked out of his lodgings. Unused to the world outside the Temple walls, or of conversing with any women apart from his old nanny or his mother, Ward must stretch himself to discover who killed Lord Norman Dunning. All the while, Ward is also wrestling with a knotty legal issue involving the rights to a bestselling children's book, and will need to exercise all his skills on behalf of his client, the publisher of Millie the Temple Church Mouse. Written by a mysterious author, the book has been a runaway success, bringing throngs of children to the Temple Church and spawning toys, games and an American publishing deal.

This week on Sneople, the Sneople cover a genre proves a little tricky to define, spans movies, tv, books, and comics, and incites an argument (or two) amongst our hosts - Urban Fantasy! This episode starts, as many do, with definitions - what exactly makes an urban fantasy movie, and how is it different from straight up monster movies or something with fantasy elements that takes place in modern times? After a quick but decisive discussion, the Sneople move onto some of their favorites of the genre, dig through multiple lists of “urban fantasy” media to decide if they actually count as part of the genre, and get into why it's so hard to make urban fantasy work on film. They also, as always, get severely off topic, look at a lot of weird wiki pages, and learn about new weird stuff that they now obviously have to read/watch. Not necessarily in that order. If you disagree with their definition of urban fantasy and/or want to submit recs for good urban fantasy to read or watch, their email inbox is always open. Keep in mind that they are extremely right about what urban fantasy is, but arguing is still fun anyway!

00:45 Iron's role in mice sex determinationIron deficiency in mice mothers can sometimes result in their offspring developing female sex organs despite having male sex genes, according to new research. While genetics has been thought to be the primary factor in determining offspring sex in mammals, the new work shows that a lack of iron disrupts an enzyme involved in the development of testes, leading to some mice with male sex-determining genes being born with female genitalia and ovaries. This suggests that sex determination is controlled by more than genetics, but more work will need to be done to understand the precise mechanisms involved.News: Male mice can grow ovaries if their pregnant mums are iron deficientResearch article: Okashita et al.06:31 Research HighlightsHow climate change is making dust storms more likely, and understanding the genetics of a boy who couldn't feel pain.Research Highlight: The perfect storm for dust storms, thanks to global warmingResearch Highlight: CRISPR helps to show why a boy felt no pain08:51 The role of small-scale fishers in sustainabilityThe contributions that small-scale fishers make to sustainable fishing have been described as ‘invisible', but now a huge research project has revealed the role this community plays in feeding populations and protecting oceans. Looking at data from 58 countries, researchers have shown that small-scale fishers account for around 40% of the global catch and feed approximately 25% of the world's population. The people behind the initiative hope that these data can help give a voice to small-scale fishers as people look for ways to feed the world sustainably.Immersive : Small-scale fisheries19:44 Briefing ChatThe discovery of an ‘ambidextrous' protein; and why humpback whales, despite their enormous eyes, appear to be shortsighted.Nature: Rare ‘ambidextrous' protein breaks rules of handednessDiscover Magazine: Big Eyes, Blurry Vision: Why Humpback Whales Struggle to See ClearlySubscribe to Nature Briefing, an unmissable daily round-up of science news, opinion and analysis free in your inbox every weekday.

Story at-a-glance A high-fat diet makes it easier for breast cancer to spread by activating clotting cells, increasing inflammation and altering blood vessels in ways that help tumors grow Mice on high-fat diets had nearly five times more cancer cells in their lungs, even when their tumors were the same size as leaner mice A high-fat diet increased fibronectin, which acts as "molecular glue" helping cancer cells attach to blood vessels, while obesity increases inflammatory compounds that worsen this buildup Switching to a normal-fat diet for just seven days significantly reduced clotting activity, fibronectin buildup and the number of cancer cells lodging in the lungs Eliminating vegetable oils and reducing total fat intake to 30% to 40% of daily calories lowers inflammation and reduces your risk of cancer spread

Story at-a-glance A recent study shows that sucralose activates brain regions tied to hunger and food motivation, leaving your body in a state of confusion that increases cravings instead of curbing them Sucralose alters connections between the hypothalamus and anterior cingulate cortex — brain regions that weigh risks and rewards — leading to stronger urges to eat, especially in women and those with obesity Unlike sucrose, sucralose failed to increase insulin and GLP-1 — hormones that signal fullness — resulting in a body that thinks it's eaten but gets no confirmation from key metabolic pathways Just 10 weeks of sucralose use was enough to trigger gut dysbiosis in healthy adults, with a measurable impact on insulin sensitivity and a rise in inflammation linked to liver and colon issues Mice fed sucralose at levels considered “safe” were less able to fight infection and cancer due to impaired T cell activation — effects that reversed only after sucralose was removed from their diet

In this thrilling installment of Impact Theory, Tom Bilyeu sits down with Ben Lamm, visionary founder and CEO of Colossal Biosciences, a company on a mission to reverse extinction and rewrite the future of conservation and synthetic biology.
