Send us a textConversion therapy, sometimes known as reparative therapy, targets LGBTQ+ people and seeks to change their sexual or gender identities.Conversion therapy has been shown to be harmful and has been categorically rejected by every mainstream medical and mental health organization for years. However, due to continued societal bias against queer people, some practitioners continue to use conversion therapy. Young people are particularly vulnerable to its harmful effects, which include increases in depression, anxiety, risky drug use, homelessness, and suicide. On today's episode of In the Den, guest host Dawn Sparling talks with historian Seth Anderson about the history and consequences of conversion therapy and how to fight against it today. Special Guest: Seth AndersonJ. Seth Anderson, PhD, was born in Provo, Utah, and raised in Utah and Arizona. He served a mission in the Russia, Samara mission. He earned a BA in Russian and a BS in Economics from Arizona State University, an MA in History from the University of Utah, and a PhD in History from Boston University. His dissertation explores the origin of gay conversion therapy. (He claims to be working on the book proposal, but that's debatable.) He likes to play piano and go to the gym. He and his husband Dr. Michael Ferguson, were the first same-sex couple married in Utah in 2013.Links from the Show: The Compassion.Science website: https://neuromichael.com/Seth's book LGBT Salt Lake: https://www.amazon.com/Lgbt-Salt-Lake-Seth-Anderson/dp/1540216128 Join Mama Dragons today at www.mamadragons.org Mama Dragons on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/mamadragons Mama Dragons on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/themamadragons/ In the Den is made possible by generous donors like you.

We've had a lot of new listeners join us of the past year, so while we're hard at work on our next season, we thought we'd share some favorites you might have missed from the archives.Have you ever heard a voice, seen an image, or felt a presence around you that you couldn't explain? If you have, you're not alone. More people than you might think report having these kinds of experiences. For some, it can be easy to write these off as tricks of the mind. But for others, especially the religious and spiritually-inclined, these events are often transformative and can profoundly alter the way they feel about their faith. So how is it that gods come to feel real to people? What do these experiences do for those who have them? And why, sometimes, does it feel like the supernatural world is connecting with us out of the blue?Tanya Luhrmann is an anthropologist at Stanford University.

In this episode of the HAAS® HopCast®, listen in as Micah Cawley, HAAS Midwest Key Account Manager, leads a conversation about all the experimental hops, beers, beverages, and innovative hop products that will be showcased at the John I. Haas booth at the 2023 Craft Beer Conference in Nashville, TN, May 7 - 10, 2023. Listen as Micah speaks with Michael Ferguson, Director of Hop Breeding, and the HAAS Brew Crew — Virgil McDonald, Brewmaster, and Max Snider and Jeff Barnes, Research Brewers — about their experience breeding and brewing with some of the newest hops and most innovative hop products available to brewers today. This year, eight “beverages” (not just beer!) were brewed specifically to be featured at the HAAS CBC booth. We say “beverages” because for the first time at CBC the Brew Crew has prepared a non-alcoholic Hop Water introducing the soon-to-be-released HopKick™ (Summer 2023). In addition, they've brewed seven beers that feature a range of exciting new hops, including McKenzie™, HBC 1134, HBC 1019, BRU-1™ and Eclipse® — as well as innovative hop products like INCOGNITO®, LUPOMAX®, Spectrum, FLEX® and Kettle Redi®. If you're a brewer looking for new flavors or enhanced brew house efficiencies, this podcast is full of ideas, insights and information.

This week we sit in the tub with George Augusto, co-founder of fashion brand: STAUD, and Los Angeles restaurant and cafe: Kitchen Mouse. He met his two co-founders in the midst of a multitude of other ventures. Ventures that eventually failed, and whose failure led him to where he is today. George discusses how these experiences of failure gave him moments to discover his gifts and strong suits. Failure is a source of success. George chronicles how getting a job as a production assistant on a commercial set was the moment that changed his life trajectory. He went from being arrested for deviant activities to leading creative endeavors. His entrepreneurial pursuits began with Dilettante: an enterprise George used to express his ADD ideas. From publishing books to releasing albums and hosting events, Dilettante gave George an avenue to connect with others. These meeting spaces are where George met two women who would become his current career partners, Erica Daking of Kitchen Mouse and Sara Staudinger of STAUD. George discusses the balance between creative and corporate mentality in partnership, while learning to navigate leading teams as a result of scaling projects. George explains practices that his team introduced as they grew and the essential components that come into play when collaborating in space that considers another person's livelihood. As George recounts key moments of his path into adulthood, he shares with us the magic of fate and how falling flat on your face sparks creative inspiration. He shows us the full picture, when we can be so focused on tunnel vision moments.

Join me as I chat live with Michael Ferguson, Author of The Genesis 6 Project. I am really excited to discuss this book as it has to do with one of my favorite topics, the Giants of Kandahar. His book is loosely based on the story we have all heard but more so, I am interested in his research for the book and what he has gathered. Michael Ferguson has always had a big interest in the unknown, and how supernatural events intersect with science. His first speculative fiction novel weaves together a rumored military involvement with a hybrid Nephilim type creature in the Wakhan corridor. He takes the story a step further and brings the monstrosity in the dead of night to a secret US genetics lab where the abomination escapes onto nearby Native American land. Mayhem ensues, and a battle between former army ranger, Frank Ironhorse Whitman occurs. All the while a secret European group manipulates events to prepare for an end of time event. Ferguson's background, a brief military involvement and degrees in biological sciences allows him to weave together topics such as CRISPR technology and genetic engineering, with a what if scenario involving the military. Second-hand accounts drive the narrative of what might of happened in early 2000 in a faraway land, with insights of how competing interests could use biology to improve human capacity. Ferguson believes at this point, it is not a matter if genetically altered soldiers are possible, but a matter of who first. There is a brief author notes section which has an interesting discussion on the plausibility of such events, given perceived human limitations. Ferguson currently resides in the US midwest with his wife and works in the medical field. He has an interest in cryptids and other non-human species, including the biological plausibility of such entities, and their role in society. In his down time he like to travel, listen to jazz and read great fiction. He is planning a continuation novel on the concept of the return of a biblical Nephilim-spirit as part of a clandestine genetics cloning program in the Africa-Europe region. You can find Michael's books and works on Amazon as well as Barnes & Nobles: https://www.amazon.com/Genesis-6-Project-Michael-Ferguson/dp/B0BMSP4PHF/ref=sr_1_1?crid=1OUUMA6HDDZBD&keywords=the+genesis+6+project&qid=1673211341&sprefix=%2Caps%2C103&sr=8-1

Join Dr. David Yaden and Dr. Michael Ferguson, world experts in the sciences of psychedelics and spirituality, as they discuss Dr. Yaden's new book, "The Varieties of Spiritual Experience." Inspired by the history, philosophy, and methodology of William James's classic text "The Varieties of Religious Experience," this new volume is a twenty-first-century response to timeless questions about humankind's spiritual nature. "The Varieties of Spiritual Experience" introduces a rich array of original empirical data collected and analyzed by Dr. Yaden and his colleagues, thus enriching the book's treatment of spirituality with a uniquely evidence-based series of perspectives.

In this episode of ICommunicate, MindsetGo President and Founder Mark Altman is joined by Michael Ferguson to discuss how embracing change leads to a more positive and productive company culture, encouraging feedback from employees, and monitoring the engagement level of our teams. Segment 1: What can often prove more difficult than changing a habit is recognizing what needs to be changed in the first place. How do we know when something about our attitude or behaviors needs to change? What awareness can we gain from taking the time to self-reflect on our own actions and productivity? Segment 2: With only so much time in a day, we're faced with the daunting task of deciding what takes priority and what gets pushed to the wayside. Where should team engagement be on that list of priorities, and how can we fit the time into our schedule to check in on them? How do we shift our attitude around team engagement check-ins from tedious and time consuming to productive and fulfilling? Segment 3: One of the most difficult aspects of change is embracing a new mindset rather than just viewing it as “necessary.” How can sharing challenges with our kids help to teach them about empathy and the process of problem-solving? Why should leaders be excited about the opportunity to meet with their teams and check in on their engagement? Segment 4: Far too often, company culture is an aspect of a leader's job that isn't prioritized nearly as much as it needs to be. How can we ensure that people within our teams are communicating and engaging with one another, including remote workers? How can productivity be negatively affected when we don't prioritize company culture?

How does our brain experience spirituality? In the episode, I discuss some of the findings of Michael Ferguson, who did a podcast on August 12th  on Faith Matters.   

HBC, the Hop Breeding Company, is responsible for developing some of the most compelling hop varieties in contemporary beer—Mosaic, Citra, Talus, and Sabro are just a few of the aroma hops that they've developed. But how does a new hop variety come into being, and what drives its development? In this episode, Jason Perrault of Yakima Chief Ranches and Michael Ferguson of John I. Haas, two leading hop breeders in Yakima Valley and the driving forces behind the two-pronged HBC program, talk about what it takes to develop a new hop variety. They discuss: the typical decade-long timeline for developing a new hop variety defining objectives for new hops, from agronomic efficiency and yield to aromatic potency taking plants from seeds crossed from two promising parents, through single plant, 7 plant, and larger field plantings positive and negative selection for desirable and undesirable traits evaluating new hops using a consistent base recipe in test brewing achieving elite status and finding brewer champions for new varieties And more.

Mike Fox leads the Center for Brain Circuit Therapeutics at the Brigham & Women's Hospital at Harvard Medical School in Boston. The center is unique in that it houses colleagues from neurosurgery, neurology, psychiatry and neuroradiology under the same roof – with the aim to collaboratively work on novel neuromodulation treatments. It is a great honor to interview Mike about his earlier work with Marc Raichle on anticorrelated networks in the brain, his work on TMS network mapping, lesion network mapping and DBS network mapping. Our conversation was enriched by guest questions of many friends and members of the center, Shan Siddiqi, Aaron Boes, Michael Ferguson, Fred Schaper and Dan Corp. We cover how lesion network mapping originated, why effective invasive and noninvasive neuromodulation targets must be linked by brain networks and ways Mike has taken to uncover those relationships. We talk about what makes causal sources of inference – brain lesions and neuromodulation targets – so unique to study the brain, treatment concepts that can be traced back to basic science work in animals vs. serendipitous findings in humans and discuss why and how brain lesions are set for a comeback – both for treatment and investigation.

For decades, our understanding of how the brain works has advanced dramatically. Using new theories, methods and tools, like fMRI technology, scientists are beginning to reveal the mysteries of this truly remarkable and complex organ.One scientist on the cutting edge of this research is Michael Ferguson, a BYU grad who is now researching and teaching at Harvard. For Michael, the most exciting result of all this new knowledge of the brain is how it might transform our spiritual lives and help us connect more fully to the divine. He is a pioneer in a field called neurospirituality and his research has been in part inspired by Latter-day Saint theology, in particular the idea that spirit and matter are on a continuum, not radically different substances. In this episode, Michael was interviewed by Zach Davis and Terryl Givens about these fascinating subjects, and the most important insights he's gained from his research.Michael is an Instructor in Neurology at Harvard Medical School, a Lecturer at Harvard Divinity School, and a neuroscientist at the Center for Brain Circuit Therapeutics at Brigham and Women's Hospital in Boston. He earned his Doctorate in Bioengineering at the University of Utah, after which he completed post-doctoral fellowships at Cornell University and Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center.Join us for Restore: A Faith Matters Gathering on October 7-8 in Salt Lake City.

In this fascinating episode, Dr. Michael Ferguson joins LDF host Dan Wotherspoon for a journey into the field of neuroscience and how its insights relate to spirituality and spiritual journeys. Michael is pioneering the new field of "neurospirituality", and now teaches courses on it at Harvard Divinity School and Harvard College, along with an appointment in neurophysiology at Harvard Medical School, where he is conducting several research projects. As you will learn from listening in on this conversation, he is eminently qualified to unpack for us what he is learning and hoping to continue to learn from this fascinating intersection. In addition to getting to know Michael personally through his sharing about his own journey toward making these studies his primary focus, he also shares openly about his experiences within Mormonism as a gay man, including the effects of conversion therapy treatments. We also get a great glimpse of his own deep spirituality. In their wide-ranging discussion, Michael and Dan discuss the nature of spirituality and what the brain is doing while someone is experiencing a peak spiritual experience. Michael differentiates between spiritual "states" and spiritual "traits," which is a theme that plays out in several sections and that holds great promise for not only understanding more about the reasons some people seem to experience more intense spiritual states, but also about subtleties between different states and his hopes to study various practices associated with these differences and how they map in the brain so he and his colleagues might be able to use the maps associated with depression and other neuro- and psychological symptoms in an effort to find ones that seem to affect the same areas in hopes of tailoring certain practices to affect these places in a positive way. Michael also shares his interest in a particular spiritual trait that he calls "spiritual acceptance," which describes the levels of openness individuals have to allowing that there is perhaps more going on in the wider universe than what our brains, logic, and language can describe. Along the way, Michael introduces what the brain is revealing about how deeply wired spiritual pathways are, which brings to light the question of how spiritual experiences may have influenced brain development and vice versa. He and Dan also discuss mysticism and spiritual writings that describe various subtleties along a deep spiritual path that seem to match well with what neuroscience is discovering. For instance, part of their discussion focuses on the poem, “The Dark Night of the Soul,” by St. John of the Cross, which has suggested a metaphor for one stage along a spiritual journey, as well as descriptions of the inner life as one moves toward God from Teresa of Avila, an influential sixteenth-century nun with a gift for describing the subtleties of various spiritual states. There are parallels in what she writes to what neuroscience is starting to understand. This is a very inadequate introduction to this two-part episode. May is still serve to whet your appetite for a great listening and spiritual adventure. Don't miss out!

Ubiquitous for fans of a certain age - the first Troughton story released on VHS and so pored over so much that every line, every camera move, every Ice Warrior's tummy rumble still exists somewhere imprinted in the synapses of the young collectors of yesteryear. Of which your host Toby Hadoke is one, and so his guest Jaye Butler Moore will choose many things that chime with him - but will they all chime at the same time? This is the second Happy times and Places story in a row to be directed by Michael Ferguson. A coincidence at the time of recording, but as Michael has sadly passed away since then, it means that this month can be a small tribute to his work in this little corner of the internet. 

Your hosts are watching Doctor Who - the programme and the person. Oh yes, is the story with the bit people like to pretend didn't happen. Popular internet scamp Pip Madeley (what do you mean you don't follow him on Twitter? Amend that immediately) takes a not entirely serious look at Doctor Who's first proper step into the kind of story we take into our stride these days : present day Earth, London landmarks, lots of soldiers. With added poignancy because of the recent death of Jackie Lane, let's see if Pip and host Toby Hadoke are on the same wavelength... Since this was recorded the story's marvellous director Michael Ferguson also passed away.

You've heard before that artificial intelligence will transform the military. Autonomous drone swarms will keep uniforms out of harm's way, China has a military AI program, and we need one too. But Army 1st Lt. Michael Ferguson says not so fast. He has combat experience in Iraq and Afghanistan, is a former Army Ranger instructor and writes regularly about national security. He joined Federal Drive with Tom Temin for more discussion.

In this episode of The Utah Foodie Podcast, we interview Michael Ferguson and Seth Anderson, the two behind The Queens' Tea, a tea blending and sourcing company they started in Utah in late 2012 when they realized they wanted to share their passion for tea with a larger audience than just their family and friends.After scouring Asia for great tea farms and suppliers, they launched The Queens' Tea at the Sundance Film Festival, and if you've been to Publik, Zest Restaurant, 3 Cups Coffee, Delcetti Gelato, or La Barba you've probably seen their tea on display, as their brand is now a staple at quality coffee shops and restaurants in Utah.But as Seth and Michael explain, The Queens' Tea is more than a tea company. Their nonprofit arm DigniTea, for example, helps raise money for homeless youth in Utah by sending a percent of their profits to the cause. An estimated 40% of these homeless teens identify as LGBT, which is an issue that hits close to home for Seth and Michael as they were the very first legally married gay couple in the state.We also go into The Queens' Tea's recent lawsuit, where they were sued by a Seattle-based tea room for allegedly infringing on their name. After a lot of press and outcry from people all around both Utah and Washington, they were able to settle. We go into the details on the podcast.—This episode of The Utah Foodie was hosted and produced by Chase Murdock.
