Broadcast from KSQD, Santa Cruz on 7-09-2026: Researchers refined a technique to reverse skin cell aging by about 30 years while preserving cellular identity. Exposing adult fibroblasts to Yamanaka factors—stopping before full reversion to pluripotent stem cells,reset the epigenetic clock and gene expression patterns to resemble much younger cells. The rejuvenated fibroblasts produced significantly more collagen, migrated faster to close artificial wounds, and showed reversal of gene expression patterns associated with Alzheimer's and cataracts. Since long-term epidemiologic data doesn't yet exist, Dr. Dawn follows up on last week's vaping question by exploring cancer mechanisms. Vaping aerosols impair DNA repair fidelity while triggering IL-6, IL-8, and TNF-alpha secretion. Nicotine-derived nitrosamines, reactive carbonyls (formaldehyde, acetaldehyde, acrolein) are generated when propylene glycol and vegetable glycerin are heated. Upregulated cytochrome P450 enzymes convert precarcinogens like benzopyrene into carcinogens. Mice exposed for 54 weeks developed lung adenocarcinomas in 22% and precancerous bladder hyperplasia in 57%, with markers matching those show predict lung cancer years before diagnosis. The Mexican Biobank—which includes over 40,000 samples from all 31 Mexican states revealed dramatic regional variation in drug-metabolism genes driven by Indigenous ancestry. In Chiapas, nearly 40% of the population carries two copies of a CYP2D6 variant reducing fentanyl metabolism, versus just 10% in Sinaloa. The SLCO1B1 variant hindering statin metabolism is found in over 15% of Yucatán residents., where 8 million Mexicans take statins. Dr. Dawn discusses both the promise and potential dark side of population genetic testing, including UK plans to genotype all children at birth for inborn errors of metabolism. Dr. Dawn briefly revisits the recent Indian study showing conch-shell blowing reduces sleep apnea by 34%, comparing it to earlier didgeridoo research, both of which strengthen airway muscles through forced-blowing exercises. A caller from Capitola recovering from non-Hodgkin's lymphoma near the L5 nerve asks about Japanese Kampo medicine formulas (Goshajinkigan, Yokukansan) for post-treatment nerve pain. Dr. Dawn suggests the pain likely originates from scar tissue tethering the nerve, and recommends consulting the Oriental Medicine Doctor program at Five Branches in Santa Cruz where faculty can advise on herbal formulas that trace back thousands of years through cultural exchange between China and Japan. Dr. Dawn explains Lp(a):lipoprotein(a), a small protein string attached to LDL particles that promotes clumping and clotting, is a genetically-determined coronary artery disease and stroke risk factor invisible to standard lipid panels. Levels of 250 particles double coronary risk and 350 particles triple it. Less than 75 is normal. Two new pharmaceutical strategies are in development to reduce Lp(a) : antisense oligonucleotides (single-stranded RNA that recruits RNase H to cleave target mRNA) and small interfering RNA (double-stranded RNA that triggers destruction of matching mRNA). Pelacarsen, a monthly injection in Phase 3 trials, reduces Lp(a) by 80%. These gene-silencing platforms open therapeutic possibilities for previously undruggable orphan diseases. Vitamin K2 is produced in the gut microbiome. MK-4 is most common in humans. Dr. Dawn recommends MK7 for stabilizing coronary calcium plaques and directing calcium into bone. A study of hepatitis B and C patients found MK4 to be protective in hepatocellular carcinoma. HCC developed in 2 of 21 MK-4-treated patients versus 9 of 19 controls, with a risk ratio of 0.2. MK-4 activates protein kinase A in vitro, inhibits HCC invasiveness, and restores apoptosis signaling that cancer cells normally block. Dr. Dawn recommends a couple milligrams of MK-4 daily for anyone with cirrhosis or prior hepatitis B or C infection.

Full show notes: https://bengreenfieldlife.com/mitrix In this episode with Tom Benson, founder and CEO of Mitrix, you'll hear why mitochondrial decline may be the actual root cause of aging rather than just a downstream symptom of it, and why most of the drugs developed so far to address it don't touch the real problem: damaged mitochondrial DNA. We discuss how Tom's company grows new, healthy mitochondria inside a bioreactor using banked stem cells, what mitochondrial transplantation actually looks like in real human cases already happening today, and the mouse study that gives this episode its name, in which severely aged mice receiving repeated mitochondrial injections were, according to the technicians running the experiment, climbing the walls of their cages by the very next day. Tom also touches on his original theory on the mitochondrial cycle of the body, how mitlets differ from naked mitochondria, and what his own MitoClock test reveals using nothing more than a urine sample. Tom Benson is the CEO and founder of Mitrix. He is a serial entrepreneur and scientist who has founded four successful software, hardware, and science startups. He has published dozens of articles and video lectures on mitochondrial science and cellular energetics, and developed original theories on the systemic transfer and distribution of mitochondria within higher organisms and how that affects health and lifespan.

Broadcast from KSQD, Santa Cruz on 6-25-2026: Dr. Dawn devotes the show's opening to ivermectin for COVID. She walks through critical thinking principles—considering the source, cross-verification, and recognizing self-interested claims—before reviewing the evidence. The most-cited 2021 Bulgarian study of 300 people showing 77% reduction lacked accessible methods, and larger trials capable of detecting even small benefits failed to confirm efficacy. On safety, the standard 12mg parasitic dose every few weeks is well-tolerated due to the blood-brain barrier and efflux pumps that keep ivermectin out of the brain, but daily long-term dosing has caused encephalopathy, liver and kidney damage, and birth defects. Critical drug interactions—macrolide antibiotics, verapamil, proton pump inhibitors, and beta blockers—disable the efflux mechanism, and high-fat meals increase absorption 2.5-fold. Dr. Dawn shares two inflammation formulas calculable from any CBC. The Systemic Inflammatory Index (neutrophils × platelets ÷ lymphocytes) flags runaway inflammation: 200-500 is good, above 900 warrants investigation and correlates with worse stroke outcomes and rising tumor burden. The SIRI (neutrophils x monocytes ÷ lymphocytes) detects chronic tissue inflammation and early innate immune activation: below 500 is good, above 1500 indicates trouble and correlates with cardiovascular mortality and arterial plaque from M1 macrophage activity. Dr. Dawn shares two takeaways from the Institute for Functional Medicine annual conference: in patients at high cardiovascular risk by cholesterol, each gram daily of combined EPA/DHA produces a 9% risk reduction, with bruising as the dose-limit signal. Additionally, a 15-minute walk within 30 minutes of a meal nearly eliminates postprandial inflammation. An emailer asks whether an endocrinologist's claim that vitamin D leaches calcium from bones is true. Dr. Dawn confirms that very high vitamin D (above 150 nanograms, with concern starting above 90) elevates 1,25-vitamin D, which stimulates osteoclast formation and increases C-telopeptide markers of bone breakdown. A crowdsourced question asks how histamines work in women. Dr. Dawn explains histamine functions as a CNS neurotransmitter promoting alertness, wakefulness, and pain perception (deficient in narcolepsy), and as a GI signal driving acid secretion, motility, and visceral sensation. Gut bacteria can convert histidine to histamine, and fish left to spoil can trigger anaphylactic-like reactions from accumulated bacterial histamine. She notes stomach acid treatments Tagamet and Zantac are H2 blockers rather than the more familiar H1 antihistamines, and confirms histamine correlates with hormones but not particularly with minerals. A crowdsourced question on B vitamins for women in their mid-twenties prompts Dr. Dawn to recommend prenatal vitamins for those who might become pregnant, and B100 complex with calcium taken with a little apple cider vinegar for those on restricted diets or eating mostly fast food. Another question asks about chest versus belly breathing. Dr. Dawn explains babies demonstrate proper diaphragmatic breathing (belly protrudes on inhalation) while accessory muscle use signals fight-or-flight—or pneumonia in a non-crying infant. Chest breathing raises adrenaline; belly breathing calms it in adults. How do I stop compulsive scratching? Dr. Dawn explains neurodermatitis has its own ICD-10 code alongside compulsive nail-biting and hair-pulling, and it is diagnosed by sparing of unreachable areas like the mid-back between shoulder blades. Treatment includes nail clipping, lubricants, covering scabbed areas, and Prozac—which uniquely among antidepressants has a secondary indication for neurodermatitis. Zurich researchers combined immature human nerve cells with magnetic nanoparticles to create 6-micrometer NPC bots that can be magnetically positioned at spinal cord injury sites and then triggered by pulsatile magnetic stimulation to mature into nerve tissue. Mice with severed spinal cords regained movement and brain-muscle electrical signals by day 34 after daily 30-minute treatments. A study of 15,000 people with myalgic encephalomyelitis/chronic fatigue syndrome identified eight genetic regions distinguishing them from controls. Two relate to immune response to infection—consistent with the post-infectious onset many sufferers describe, including roughly half of long COVID patients—and others link to the nervous system and chronic pain. Dr. Dawn frames ME-CFS as an immune system stuck in the "on" position, unable to brake against an enemy that is long gone. An emailer asks about prostate biopsy approaches. Dr. Dawn explains the new transperineal biopsy (through skin between scrotum and anus) reduces post-biopsy infection from 1.5% to near zero and eliminates prophylactic antibiotics, though it requires more anesthesia and time. Cancer detection rates match the transrectal approach when both use MRI targeting, and she expects the transperineal approach to become standard.
In this episode of Reading With Your Kids, we're celebrating humor, heart, and the power of picture books to bring families together. Most of our time is spent with Ann Koffsky, author of Blazing Humor: Mel Brooks Is Seriously Funny. Ann and Jed dive into why Mel Brooks' comedy, while very much for adults, still offers a powerful, kid-friendly life story. Ann talks about the challenge of sharing a famously edgy comedian with young readers—focusing not on the racy jokes, but on Mel's resilience, his use of humor to face bullies, racism, and hard times, and his joyful Jewish identity. She describes curating a YouTube playlist of kid-appropriate Mel Brooks clips and reflects on how picture books might be one of the last truly shared media experiences for grown-ups and kids. Together, they explore how humor can be a survival skill in an angry, algorithm-driven world. Next, Evelina Ruimy joins the show to introduce The Kind Bunny, the first in her Hops Tales series. Written during a frightening wildfire evacuation, the book helps families talk about unkind words, hurt feelings, and why kindness begins with how we treat ourselves. Evelina shares how Bunny chooses to answer rudeness with kindness, turning conflict into friendship, and how parents can use the story to start meaningful conversations about bullying and self-worth. Finally, Bob Richley stops by to chat about Redeeming Rhubarb, a middle-grade novel about a mouse, a rat, and what it really means to love your enemies—even when you've been taught to hate them.
Fish Oil Supplements And Alzheimer's-Related Decline A two-year randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial led by researchers at USC tested whether 2,000 mg of DHA fish oil daily could slow Alzheimer's-related brain changes in 365 adults ages 55–80 who rarely consumed fish and had at least one Alzheimer's risk factor. Researchers confirmed the supplement reached the brain by measuring a roughly 17% increase in cerebrospinal fluid DHA after six months. Despite successfully increasing brain DHA levels, participants taking fish oil showed no significant improvements in memory, global cognitive function, or hippocampal volume compared to placebo after two years. Host Dave Asprey explains why raising a single biomarker doesn't always translate into better brain performance, why nutrition works differently inside a complete dietary pattern than as an isolated supplement, and what this study means for anyone relying on fish oil as an Alzheimer's prevention strategy. Sources: https://medicalxpress.com/news/2026-06-fish-oil-supplements-alzheimer-decline.pdf https://www.cnn.com/2026/06/18/health/omega-3-fish-oil-algae-supplement-wellness ~~ DASH Diet Showed the Strongest Link to Long-Term Brain Health Researchers from Harvard analyzed dietary data from 159,347 participants across three long-running U.S. health studies to examine how eating patterns influence cognitive aging. Participants completed dietary questionnaires every four years over several decades, allowing investigators to compare six healthy dietary patterns, including the DASH and Mediterranean diets. While all six were associated with better cognitive health later in life, adherence to the DASH diet produced the strongest association, with participants showing roughly a 40% lower risk of subjective cognitive decline and stronger performance on objective cognitive testing. The protective relationship was strongest when healthy eating habits began during midlife. Host Dave Asprey breaks down why blood sugar control, lower inflammation, and healthier blood vessels may be the real drivers behind long-term brain resilience, and why your dietary choices in your 40s and 50s may have an outsized impact on cognitive aging decades later. Sources: https://jamanetwork.com/journals/jamaneurology/article-abstract/2845466 https://www.health.harvard.edu/diet-and-nutrition/harvard-study-six-healthy-diets-linked-with-better-long-term-brain-health https://www.eurekalert.org/news-releases/1117225 ~~ Scientists Identified an Ancient Brain Circuit That Filters Distractions Johns Hopkins researchers discovered a small population of inhibitory neurons within an evolutionarily ancient brainstem region that appears to control selective attention by determining which sensory information deserves focus and which distractions should be ignored. Mice trained on visual attention tasks consistently ignored irrelevant stimuli until researchers temporarily silenced these neurons, causing even weak distractions to hijack their attention while leaving vision and movement otherwise unaffected. Similar brain circuits exist in birds, reptiles, and other vertebrates, suggesting this attentional filtering system evolved long before the modern human cortex. Host Dave Asprey explains why attention may depend on much older brain circuitry than previously believed, how this discovery could reshape our understanding of ADHD and autism, and why future therapies may target the brainstem instead of the prefrontal cortex. Sources: https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2026/06/260624025426.htm ~~ Nearly Half of Older Adults Improved With Age Instead of Declining A Yale-led study followed 11,340 adults age 65 and older for up to 12 years using repeated measurements of cognition and walking speed to better understand how aging changes over time. Rather than finding universal decline, researchers discovered that 45% of participants improved in either cognitive function, physical performance, or both. Nearly one-third experienced measurable cognitive improvements, while over one-quarter improved physically. Researchers also found that participants with more positive beliefs about aging were significantly more likely to improve, even after accounting for education, chronic illness, depression, and other health factors. Host Dave Asprey explores why expectations about aging may become biologically embedded, why decline is far less inevitable than conventional medicine often assumes, and how mindset may directly influence healthy longevity. Sources: https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2026/06/260620100428.htm ~~ Glyphosate May Be Contributing to Antibiotic-Resistant Superbugs Researchers publishing in Frontiers in Microbiology examined 102 bacterial strains collected from hospitals, agricultural land, and protected wetlands to investigate whether glyphosate exposure contributes to multidrug antibiotic resistance. Hospital bacteria demonstrated extensive resistance to both antibiotics and glyphosate, while even bacteria living inside protected nature reserves displayed measurable glyphosate resistance despite no direct herbicide application. Genetic analysis suggested resistant bacterial strains may move between agricultural environments and hospitals through shared waterways and sediments. The researchers argue pesticide safety testing should also evaluate whether chemicals encourage antibiotic resistance, one of the world's fastest-growing public health threats. Host Dave Asprey explains why environmental toxins may have unintended effects on the human microbiome, how herbicides could influence antimicrobial resistance beyond farming, and why environmental biology increasingly belongs in conversations about human health. Sources: https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2026/06/260620100434.htm https://www.openaccessgovernment.org/common-weedkiller-glyphosate-linked-to-rise-in-superbugs-scientists-warn/207515/ ~~ Butterflies That Barely Age Could Unlock New Longevity Pathways Researchers from the University of Bristol found that Heliconius butterflies live dramatically longer than closely related butterfly species while aging much more slowly. In one comparison, Heliconius hewitsoni survived up to 348 days, while a closely related species lived only 14 days. Unlike most butterflies, Heliconius feed on pollen throughout adulthood, providing amino acids that help preserve muscle function and physical performance with age. However, even when pollen was removed, these butterflies still significantly outlived their relatives, suggesting evolved genetic and metabolic mechanisms also contribute to their exceptional longevity. Host Dave Asprey explores why nature continues to provide unexpected models for slowing biological aging, what scientists hope to learn from species that naturally maintain function over time, and how comparative biology may uncover entirely new pathways for extending human healthspan. Sources: https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2026/06/260622014302.htm ~~ This episode is designed for biohackers, longevity enthusiasts, and high-performance listeners who want mechanism-level insights into omega-3 supplementation and Alzheimer's prevention, nutrition strategies for preserving cognitive health, newly discovered brain circuits controlling attention, the surprising biology behind healthy aging, environmental drivers of antibiotic resistance, and what one remarkably long-lived butterfly can teach us about extending healthspan.

The same glucosamine pill millions take for joint pain may protect a healthy brain — and accelerate Alzheimer's in a brain already in decline. Here's the science.In this episode of Health Longevity Secrets, Robert Lufkin MD breaks down the 2026 plot twist on glucosamine and dementia: why a supplement once hailed as a longevity hack now carries an Alzheimer's warning, and why the answer comes down to one thing — the state of your metabolism. The same molecule helped the metabolically healthy and may have harmed the metabolically broken. The supplement didn't change; the soil it landed on did.Chapters:00:00 — Introduction00:39 — The Supplement Everyone Trusted01:06 — UK Biobank: Glucosamine and 15% Lower Death Risk01:38 — Why Glucosamine Looked Like a Longevity Hack02:48 — The 2026 Plot Twist: Nature Metabolism Study03:53 — Alzheimer's Mice and the Glucosamine Pathway04:13 — How Sugar Tagging (Glycosylation) Explains Both04:57 — Hyperglycosylation in the Alzheimer's Brain05:34 — The Honest Caveat: Association vs Causation06:55 — The Takeaway: Metabolic Health Decides EverythingKey takeaways:In healthy, cognitively normal adults, regular glucosamine use has been tied to lower all-cause mortality and lower risk of dementia — especially vascular dementia.A June 2026 University of Florida study in Nature Metabolism found the opposite signal in sick brains: in people with mild cognitive impairment, glucosamine use was associated with a 25% higher likelihood of progressing to Alzheimer's, and a 25% higher death risk in those already diagnosed.In Alzheimer's mice, glucosamine made memory worse; blocking the same sugar-tagging pathway made it better.The mechanism is metabolic: glucosamine feeds glycosylation (sugar-tagging of proteins). A healthy brain handles it fine; an Alzheimer's brain is already hyperglycosylated, so adding more is "pouring gasoline on the fire."This is association, not proof of cause — and the literature is genuinely mixed. If you're healthy, it's not a fire alarm. If you or a loved one has MCI or dementia, talk to your physician before the next refill.Studies & sources:Hawkinson et al., "Hyperglycosylation is a metabolic driver of Alzheimer's disease," Nature Metabolism 2026 (University of Florida)University of Florida news release on the glucosamine–dementia findingZheng et al., "Association of regular glucosamine use with incident dementia," BMC Medicine 2023 (UK Biobank)Habitual glucosamine use, APOE genotypes, and cause-specific dementia in older adults (UK Biobank)Li et al., "Associations of regular glucosamine use with all-cause and cause-specific mortality," Annals of the Rheumatic Diseases 2020 (UK Biobank)Read Dr. Lufkin's book "Lies I Taught in Medical School".⭐ Enjoying the show?

BUFFALO, NY — June 10, 2026 — A new #research paper was #published in Volume 18 of Aging on May 18, 2026, titled “Transcriptional programs diverge in aging mouse and human skeletal muscle.” The study was led by co-first authors Charles D. Hwang and Siti Rahmayanti and corresponding author Indranil Sinha from Brigham and Women's Hospital, Harvard University. Aging is widely associated with the gradual loss of muscle mass, strength, and physical function. Much of what scientists know about these changes comes from studies in laboratory mice, which are frequently used to investigate the biological mechanisms of aging and to identify potential therapeutic targets. However, an important question remains: how closely do aging-related changes in mouse muscle reflect what actually occurs in humans? To address this question, researchers performed a detailed comparison of gene expression patterns in skeletal muscle from young and old mice and humans. The team analyzed RNA sequencing data from mouse gastrocnemius muscle and compared it with transcriptomic data from healthy young and older adults obtained through the National Institute on Aging's GESTALT study. The results revealed substantial differences between the two species. Despite both mice and humans experiencing age-related muscle decline, fewer than 5% of significantly altered biological pathways were shared between them. Many of the genetic programs that changed with aging in mice showed little resemblance to those observed in human skeletal muscle.

BUFFALO, NY – June 2, 2026 – A new #research paper was #published in Volume 17 of Oncotarget on May 20, 2026, titled “Microenvironmental CTHRC1 has a pro-tumorigenic role in colorectal cancer.” The study was led by first author Haylee Duval from the Center for Molecular Medicine at the MaineHealth Institute for Research and the Graduate School of Biomedical Science and Engineering at the University of Maine. The study's corresponding authors were Sergey Ryzhov, Volkhard Lindner, and Michaela R. Reagan, who are affiliated with the Center for Molecular Medicine at the MaineHealth Institute for Research, the Graduate School of Biomedical Science and Engineering at the University of Maine, and Tufts University School of Medicine. Colorectal cancer remains one of the leading causes of cancer-related deaths worldwide. While much research has focused on cancer cells themselves, growing evidence suggests that the tumor microenvironment—the network of surrounding stromal cells, immune cells, and extracellular components—plays a critical role in determining how tumors grow and spread. In this study, researchers investigated collagen triple helix repeat containing 1 (CTHRC1), a secreted protein previously associated with poor outcomes in several cancer types. Although CTHRC1 is frequently detected in tumor-associated stroma, its precise role within the colorectal cancer microenvironment has remained unclear. To address this question, the team used a genetically engineered mouse model lacking CTHRC1 and compared tumor development with that of normal mice after colorectal cancer cells were introduced. The results consistently showed that the absence of host-derived CTHRC1 significantly reduced tumor growth. Across three independent experimental cohorts, mice lacking CTHRC1 developed substantially smaller tumors than their normal counterparts. In addition, survival improved markedly. The median survival of mice with normal CTHRC1 expression was 28 days after tumor inoculation, compared with 69 days in CTHRC1-deficient mice. The researchers also found evidence that CTHRC1 influences anti-tumor immunity. Mice lacking CTHRC1 had higher percentages of CD3-positive T cells in both tumors and spleens, suggesting a more active immune response against cancer. At the same time, they exhibited reduced levels of certain myeloid immune cells associated with immune suppression. Importantly, the investigators confirmed that the colorectal cancer cells themselves did not produce detectable CTHRC1. Instead, the protein was found primarily in fibroblasts and other stromal components surrounding the tumor. This finding indicates that the tumor-promoting effects originated from the tumor microenvironment rather than from the cancer cells directly. Histological analyses further revealed striking differences in tumor structure. Tumors from CTHRC1-deficient mice contained fewer cells and showed evidence of regression, while tumors in normal mice remained densely cellular and continued to expand.

https://wels2.blob.core.windows.net/daily-devotions/20260527dev.mp3 Listen to Devotion No one can say, “Jesus is Lord,” except by the Holy Spirit. 1 Corinthians 12:3 Life-Giver The camera pans over an old, abandoned farm truck that has been sitting in the woods for decades. Ivy covers it. Moss covers it. A small tree grows through a rusty hole. Mice have built a nest in the cab. And over the years, the wheels have settled into the dirt. But then along comes a cheerful backyard mechanic by the name of Derek Bieri. With basic tools and good-natured humor, Derek goes to work on the hulk sitting before him. Despite setbacks and disappointments, he patiently persists until the thrilling moment when the long-forgotten truck roars to life and comes out of the woods under its own power. This is the magic behind the wildly popular YouTube program entitled “Vice Grip Garage.” Each episode features a dead and forsaken car or truck that Derek manages to bring to life. One thing is for certain. These vehicles do not repair themselves. They start and run only because of Derek. By nature, I am far worse off than any rusted wreck left in the woods. Not only am I born spiritually dead, but my attitude towards the true God is downright hostile. On my own, I have no ability whatsoever to trust in Jesus as my Savior from sin. There’s a greater likelihood that a dead farm truck from “Vice Grip Garage” would bring itself to life and drive itself out of the woods. But that’s where the Lord comes in. Not only did he send his Son to become human and live a perfect life in my place. Not only did Jesus pay for my every sin through his death at Calvary’s cross, but he also raised himself from the grave. He has even sent God the Holy Spirit to bring my spiritually dead heart to life. Through the power of the Good News of Jesus, the Spirit has created within me the miracle of faith. And through this miraculous faith, I now receive full forgiveness, peace with God, and eternal life as my personal possessions. Giving life: There’s nothing the Holy Spirit enjoys more.

Jeremy Zakis details a burgeoning mouse plague in Western and South Australia, where mice are breeding rapidly and have become resilient to standard toxins. In response, the government has authorized farmers to double the dosage of zinc phosphide bait. This surge in prey has caused a corresponding increase in snake sightings, as predators forgo hibernation to feed. Most notably, a large red-bellied black snake was discovered living inside the walls of an emergency operating theater at John Hunter Hospital. Authorities were forced to close the theater to remove the snake, which had likely been eating local mice. (3/3)1899 PERTH WA

This week, in Sidney, Montana, when a beloved local teacher disappears, after going for a morning run, all that's left behind is a running shoe, in a ditch. Luckily, a tip comes in that is very specific to one of the culprits. This tip leads to an unlikely pair, consisting of a large, dumb young man, and his smaller, craftier older friend. It seems that when the older man smokes a lot of crack he says "the devil gets in him", and this causes him to brutally murder a teacher, and also commit one of the dumbest acts that a murderer could ever think of!! Along the way, we find out that way too many towns are named after small children, that 3 day crack benders rarely result in anything productive, and that you should never return a murder tool to the store, so you can get a refund!!

Dr. Marc Breedlove, PhD, is a professor of neuroscience at Michigan State University and an expert on how hormones shape brain development and sexual orientation. We discuss how prenatal testosterone impacts whether someone is romantically attracted to men or women later in life, and what correlates of sexual orientation — such as finger-length ratios — tell us about the role of hormones in brain and psychological development. We also discuss why the number of older brothers a male has biases sexual orientation. Throughout, we explain how nature and nurture interact to shape male-female differences, behavior, and romantic partner choice.
