Today we have Dr. Michael A. Schmidt, the founder, CEO, and Chief Scientific Officer of Sovaris Aerospace, a company focused on assessments and solutions applied to humans in space and extreme environments on Earth. Michael is also a professor of aerospace medicine at the University of Central Florida College of Medicine, one of the few programs in the U.S. that offers a medical residency in aerospace medicine. Michael is known for his work pioneering the field of precision medicine. He uses molecular analytics, coupled with physiologic and behavioral assessments, to facilitate human performance and resilience on Earth as well as in the extreme environment of space. His work covers a spectrum from NASA, the NFL, the NBA, U.S. Olympic teams, Nike, SpaceX, Axiom Space, NASCAR, Special Operations, the Naval Submarine Medical Research Lab, the Mayo Clinic, and others. We had a long and fascinating conversation with Michael and decided to break the interview into two parts. This episode focuses on Michael's background and the cognitive and physical challenges astronauts experience in spaceflight. We also dive into the many ways that precision medicine is facilitating human performance and resilience here on Earth. In part two of our conversation, Michael talks about his work with NASA and SpaceX on the challenges of civilian spaceflight and the future of Mars exploration, including the construction of permanent colonies on the Moon and Mars. You won't want to miss that conversation. Show notes: [00:03:59] Dawn opens our interview mentioning that Michael grew up in Minnesota in a small farming community, asking if it's true that he sometimes had to do chores in 20- to 30-degree weather. [00:06:50] Dawn asks if it is true that Michael fell in love with science at a young age, even building telescopes at the age of 11. [00:08:00] Dawn asks Michael what it was that led him to become so fascinated with space specifically. [00:08:58] Dawn asks if Michael ever thought about becoming an astronaut. [00:10:09] Ken asks if it is true that Michael was a big reader as a child. [00:11:21] Dawn asks Michael to talk about his childhood athletic interests. [00:11:55] Dawn asks how it was that a high school quarterback from a small town in Minnesota ended up at university in the United Kingdom. [00:13:38] Ken asks Michael what years he worked at NASA Ames Research Center. [00:14:51] Ken mentions that when Michael was at NASA Ames, he did work collecting molecular and physiologic assessments of humans using NASA's 20-G centrifuge. Ken asks Michael to talk about the centrifuge and how he used it in his studies of hypergravity. [00:17:49] Ken comments on the fact that pieces of equipment like NASA's 20-G centrifuge are a precious scientific resource, and when they cease functioning, unfortunately, they are unlikely to be replaced. [00:19:40] Ken and Michael discuss the fact that microgravity, despite being one of the most pressing effects on astronaut health, is the one of the least addressed problems in human spaceflight. [00:21:48] Ken explains that Michael is the founder, CEO and Chief Scientific Officer of a company called Sovaris Aerospace, which is focused on assessments and solutions applied to humans in space and extreme environments on Earth. Ken asks Michael where the idea came from to found this company. [00:24:35] Dawn explains that since the human genome was first sequenced, there has been an acceleration of genome-based technologies that have made it possible to consider a person's genetic makeup, both in healthcare and optimizing performance. Dawn asks Michael to talk about the work he does applying genomics to human spaceflight. [00:28:52] Dawn asks about Michael's direction of the molecular profiling and precision medicine efforts for the Golden State Warriors during their record-breaking 73-9 season [00:32:57] Dawn mentions that Michael published a review in the journal Meta...

Everything, everywhere, all at once — but not the movie. This is how cybersecurity experts describe a scenario where a foreign adversary shuts off critical infrastructure, like oil pipelines, water networks, ports, and electric grids, all over the country. The terrifying truth is that China has already hacked into our critical infrastructure. They're “living off the land” and could conceivably attack whenever is most convenient. What's worse? Our political leaders are defunding America's cybersecurity efforts. In order to dig in deeper, Kara talks to Nicole Perlorth, Michael Schmidt, and Lt. Col. Alexander Vindman, (Ret.) Nicole Perlroth spent a decade as the lead cybersecurity reporter at The New York Times, before going inside the tent and joining the advisory board of the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency and the Council on Foreign Relations' Cyber Task Force. She is a founding partner at Silverbuckshot Ventures and the host and producer of To Catch a Thief, a new podcast on China's rise to cyber dominance. Michael Schmidt is a Pulitzer Prize-winning investigative reporter for The New York Times and the author of the best-selling book Donald Trump v. The United States. He's also the executive producer and co-creator of the Netflix series Zero Day, a political thriller about a devastating cyberattack on the U.S. Lt. Col. Alexander Vindman is the former director of European Affairs for the National Security Council. Vindman was a key witness during President Trump's first impeachment and testified about Trump's infamous phone call with President Zelensky of Ukraine. He is a senior fellow at the Johns Hopkins Foreign Policy Institute and the author of The Folly of Realism: How the West Deceived Itself About Russia and Betrayed Ukraine. Questions? Comments?

Max Verstappen hat 2024 seinen vierten WM-Titel in der Formel 1 gefeiert. Der Red-Bull-Star musste aber mehr kämpfen als im Vorjahr. Dennoch zeigte Verstappen, dass er aktuell der beste Formel-1-Fahrer ist. McLaren hat sich zum ersten Mal seit 1998 den WM-Titel bei den Konstrukteuren gesichert. Lando Norris und Oscar Piastri wollen 2025 Verstappen stürzen. Das will auch Ferrari. Die Italiener legten eine starke Formel-1-Saison hin und wurden Zweiter in der WM. Nächstes Jahr stößt dann Superstar Lewis Hamilton zum Team. Der Rekordsieger der Formel 1 verlässt nach zwölf Jahren Mercedes. Auch neben der Strecke gab es viele Aufreger. Das Red-Bull-Beben, der Newey-Abgang, die FIA-Entlassungen oder die Audi-Unruhen hielten in der Formel 1 alle auf Trab. Bianca Leppert, Michael Schmidt und Joel Lischka blicken zurück auf das Formel-1-Jahr 2024. Schreibt uns gerne in die Kommentare, wie ihr die Saison erlebt habt! Viel Spaß beim Zuschauen!

Historiansplaining: A historian tells you why everything you know is wrong
A randomly-chosen sample from the deepest most thorough analysis that you can find anywhere of the profoundly ancient Epic of Gilgamesh, on patreon for patrons only for one year: We examine the Epic of Gilgamesh as a piece of literature, for its strange dream-like style and form, its points of similarity to Biblical and ancient Greek and European mythology, and finally, its deep levels of psychological and political allegory, ultimately revealing the love between Enkidu and Gilgamesh as a parable of the fraught relationship between civilization and the wild.

Für unsere E-Mobilität, für die Akkus unserer Handys und Laptops, für die Speicherung von Solarstrom brauchen wir Lithium. Das Metall ist deshalb weltweit ein begehrter Stoff. Nach Australien, Chile und China will auch Europa auf diesem großen Markt eine führende Rolle einnehmen, denn in Deutschland, in Serbien, der Türkei und der Ukraine gibt es größere Lithiumvorkommen. Doch um an den Stoff zu kommen, braucht es viel Energie und gigantische Mengen an Wasser. Und er muss nach der Gewinnung veredelt werden für den Gebrauch in Batterien. Nun eröffnet in Deutschland die erste Lithium Raffinerie. Die Firma AMG- Lithium investiert in Bitterfeld-Wolfen rund 120 Millionen Euro. Ist das der richtige Weg für Deutschland? Welche Alternativen gäbe es? Darüber werden wir sprechen mit dem Oberbürgermeister von Bitterfeld, Armin Schenk, mit Michael Schmidt von der Deutschen Rohstoffagentur, mit unserer Korrespondentin für Serbien, Silke Hahne und mit Johannes Klinge vom Ökoinstitut Darmstadt. Podcast-Tipp: Mission Klima - Lösungen für die Krise Die Klimakrise ist da und zwar mit voller Wucht - aber es gibt auch viele Ideen für ihre Lösung! Bei Mission Klima zeigt der NDR nur die Lösungen, die wirklich einen Unterschied machen. Der Podcast nimmt uns mit zu Menschen, die sie bereits ausprobieren oder sie sogar längst erfolgreich umsetzen. https://www.ardaudiothek.de/sendung/mission-klima-loesungen-fuer-die-krise/73406960/
