Many of us have reassured ourselves with the ‘five second rule' before...But, is it true that you actually have five seconds grace after you drop food on the floor?Joining Ciara to discuss this is Amalia Scannell, Microbiologist and Food Biotechnologist in the UCD Institute of Food and Health.
On this classic episode of ID The Future out of the vault, host Eric Anderson sits down with microbiologist Dr. Scott Minnich to discover what led him to microbiology and how he became an intelligent design researcher. In Part 1, Minnich shares how he first learned about intelligent design, met philosopher of science Dr. Stephen Meyer, and eventually became involved in the well-known documentary, Unlocking the Mystery of Life. Minnich also reflects on his childhood upbringing and his interest in the big questions even as a high school student. His plans for an eventual military career took a turn as a result of the Vietnam War, and he began studying history and sociology instead. This is Part 1 of a two-part conversation. Source

The following interview is part of the 2025 Charleston Conference Leadership Interview Series. In this series, we sit down with leaders and innovators who are making a real difference in scholarly publishing, libraries, and the broader information world. Each conversation is a chance to hear firsthand how these decision makers tackle new challenges, rethink traditional models, and collaborate across sectors. Today's episode features the next conversation from the 2025 Charleston Conference Leadership Interview Series. Heather Staines, Senior Consultant, Delta Think, and a Conference Director, talks with Elizabeth Bik, Science Integrity Consultant and Microbiologist. Elisabeth is a prominent microbiologist and renowned investigator into scientific misconduct, particularly the manipulation and falsification of research data. She has uncovered issues in over 7,000 scientific papers, resulting in more than 1,000 retractions. Her work has gained international attention, earning her the 2021 John Maddox Prize. In this conversation, Elizabeth shares with Heather about her early work in the field of microbiology with dolphins and discovering plagiarism of her own work using Google Scholar which began her drive to become a "scientific sleuth." In 2014, she began searching for not only plagiarism but also for images that had been duplicated. In 2019, she quit her job to work full time as a consultant to investigate cases for scientific publishers. She talks about her frustrations over the slowness in correction or retraction, or complete lack thereof, and says that only about one-third of the papers she identified had been corrected or retracted after 5 years. She also talks about a human using their eyes to find duplications vs. AI tools designed to detect duplications or other problems within scientific papers. Elizabeth says there is often a battle between the tools to find misconduct versus tools to create or enable misconduct, create fraudulent data sets and fake AI photos that are very difficult to detect. Elizabeth says she will continue to work diligently to raise awareness of scientific misconduct in its many different forms.

Dr Primrose Freestone, a British microbiologist, spoke to Trudie Mason for the "Just Wondering" segment, on how often you should be changing your bedsheets.
Still, I always read books and magazines on science and science fiction. That kept the wonder alive, the result always adding more questions than answers. There seemed never enough time to truly explore for answers or elusive connections. However, that continued reading helped to increase my awareness of the world outside myself.It increased my knowledge and understanding while at the same time establishing the incompleteness of what I knew. It moved me to a place outside myself. Fortunately, this lack of knowledge further fed the wonder. This inspired my book, The Evolution of Life: Big Bang to Space Colonies, self-published in April 2022 and available now on Amazon.Some 3.8 billion years ago an extraordinary event occurred that we call the “Big Bang.” This primal release of energy formed the universe and everything in it, including us. The Evolution of Life: Big Bang to Space Colonies offers a dramatic understanding of this event, the creation of matter, how life evolved on Earth, and the wondrous extraterrestrial future that awaits us as a species, as societies, and as communities.When you read The Evolution of Life, you will be led step-by-step along this magnificent journey to a new possible dawn for humanity. Although it often seems live in a quagmire of non-ending dysfunction, we only need to review the histories of societies to realize that there has been progress. Forward-looking people may never inherit the Earth, but they will lead us into the future. They may likely create a permanent presence in space for themselves and their progeny. That event could be instrumental in saving our Earth.But the future is unknown, and I ponder this too. This inspired a science fiction series, Outbound, which I am writing currently. Book One: Islands in the Void is available now and explores living "off-world" and the challenges we may face after a possible climate catastrophe. I love to discuss where our current and future technologies could take us and how we could sustain life in space.I am an alumnus of San Jose State University, with a master's degree in microbiology. My studies also emphasized molecular biology and biochemistry. Several years after earning my MA, I obtained a Clinical Laboratory Bioanalyst license. In subsequent years I worked in various administrative and technical management roles in a laboratory setting. My wife and I live in the south San Francisco Bay area of California, close to our children and grandchildren.Websitehttps://richardandersonauthor.com/Website #2https://www.amazon.com/Evolution-Life-Bang-Space-Colonies/dp/B09XSS9D62Website #3https://www.amazon.com/Outbound-Islands-Void-Richard-Anderson/dp/B0D1C9H3R1Facebook URLhttps://www.facebook.com/Richard-Anderson-Author-110347181547695

You will also need about 100 millilitres of 3% hydrogen peroxide. Ask an adult if you have any at home or you can find it at a pharmacy. Be careful when using the 3% hydrogen peroxide because it can stain clothes and other material, and you might like to wear gloves to protect your hands. This activity is pretty messy so you should do it on a tray next to the kitchen sink or in a sheltered outside area. Use the measuring cup to add about 50 millilitres of warm water to the small jug. Add one teaspoon of dry yeast to the warm water, stir it gently, and leave it to sit for 5 or 10 minutes to ‘activate' the yeast. You will know when it's ready because there will be bubbles on top of the water. While you're waiting for the yeast mixture to bubble, use the measuring cup to add about 100 millilitres of 3% hydrogen peroxide to the plastic bottle. Add a big squirt of detergent and a few drops of food colouring to the bottle and swirl the bottle to mix the liquids. NOTE: If you want to make a video or take a photo of the Elephant Toothpaste reaction, get ready now before you do the next step, because the reaction will happen quickly. Pour the yeast mixture from the jug into the bottle, step back and see what happens. You should see bubbly foam oozing up and out of the bottle. The chemical formula for hydrogen peroxide is H2O2 and you might notice that it is made up of hydrogen and oxygen atoms, just like water, which has the chemical formula H2O. Hydrogen peroxide slowly breaks down to turn into water and oxygen gas. Yeast contains a chemical called ‘catalase' which speeds up this reaction. The bubbles you see in the Elephant Toothpaste are bubbles of oxygen gas made by the hydrogen peroxide breaking down. Hydrogen peroxide can cause damage to the cells in living things, like us humans and the yeast used in this activity, so many living things make the chemical ‘catalase' to get rid of hydrogen peroxide.

She holds a Bachelor of Science in microbiology and has spent over 30 years researching human behavior, subconscious programming, and self-empowerment. She has co-authored more than 200 personal development audio programs and two books, and worked extensively alongside New York Times bestselling author Eldon Taylor in research, editing, and program development.Ravinder Taylor is a longtime explorer of the human mind. She authored the book Mind Training: The Science of Self-Empowerment, and she joins us for a rich and layered conversation about inner transformation, healing, mindset, and the truth behind what actually works when it comes to becoming who you truly are.In this episode, Ravinder shares her incredible story of healing herself from rheumatoid arthritis—without medications—by combining subconscious programming, hypnosis, spiritual perspective, placebo research, and relentless curiosity. She walks us through the science-backed benefits of optimism, the daily practices that truly shift your mindset, and the real psychology behind affirmations, rituals, and manifesting.We also touch on:Hypnotherapy, trauma resolution, and subconscious programmingGrowth vs fixed mindsets and the Neuroscience behind habit changeThe role of free will (or lack thereof) in transformationMedia manipulation, subconscious priming, and being aware of your inputsOptimism, journaling, diaphragmatic breathing, and the power of smilingThe journey of becoming the best version of yourself—without the fluffNotable Quotes from Episode 0114 – Ravinder Taylor“I wanted to give people the why—not just another list of what to do. When you understand why something works, you stop outsourcing your power.”“You don't always have to know which thing healed you. Sometimes it's the accumulation, the ripening—your belief meets your action, and something finally shifts.”“Free will isn't free—you have to take it. Most of our minds are running on autopilot, but we can interrupt the programming and rewire it intentionally.”“Healing isn't about becoming perfect. It's about removing what blocks your authentic self from expressing.”“Smiling is underrated medicine. It shifts your brain chemistry, helps others feel seen, and reminds you that you're safe, here, now.”This is one of those episodes that's packed with tools, reminders, and encouragement for anyone working on themselves. Ravinder brings grounded wisdom from both scientific and experiential lenses, and delivers it all with heart and clarity. I highly recommend grabbing a physical copy of her book 'Mind Training - Science of Self-Empowerment'

What if a second follow-up randomized, placebo-controlled human trial found that within 90 days, this same combination increased OA patients' ability to perform a walk test by over 50%, reduced markers of cartilage degeneration by half and increased markers of cartilage regeneration by half. This is what the research team at Calroy Health Sciences have discovered, putting a tremendous amount of work and financing into studying the effects of the uniquely-developed Cartigenix-HP. Not only that, increased joint space at the end of the trial was clearly visible via radiography, and 90% of the intervention group did not need any "rescue" pharmaceutical medication at the end of the 90 day period (compared with only 20% of the placebo group) and this effect was sustained beyond the end of the trial. I have to say, I am impressed and excited about the potential for this new product to help my patients and I am thinking about other applications like OA prevention and osteoporosis!

Melvyn Bragg and guests discuss the most abundant lifeform on Earth: the viruses that 'eat' bacteria. Early in the 20th century, scientists noticed that something in their Petri dishes was making bacteria disappear and they called these bacteriophages, things that eat bacteria. From studying these phages, it soon became clear that they offered countless real or potential benefits for understanding our world, from the tracking of diseases to helping unlock the secrets of DNA to treatments for long term bacterial infections. With further research, they could be an answer to the growing problem of antibiotic resistance.With Martha Clokie Director for the Centre for Phage Research and Professor of Microbiology at the University of LeicesterJames Ebdon Professor of Environmental Microbiology at the University of BrightonAnd Claas Kirchhelle Historian and Chargé de Recherche at the French National Institute of Health and Medical Research's CERMES3 Unit in Paris.Producer: Simon TillotsonIn Our Time is a BBC Studios Audio ProductionReading list: James Ebdon, ‘Tackling sources of contamination in water: The age of phage' (Microbiologist, Society for Applied Microbiology, Vol 20.1, 2022) Thomas Häusler, Viruses vs. Superbugs: A Solution to the Antibiotics Crisis?

This week, I am joined by microbiologist Dr. Sarkis Mazmanian, the Luis B. and Nelly Soux Professor at Caltech, to discuss the microbiome's connection to human health—especially the gut-brain axis. Dr. Mazmanian discusses his research evolution from infectious diseases to the microbiome's role in neurodevelopment and neurodegeneration, as well as how gut microbes influence neurological health, behavior, and conditions like Parkinson's, autism, and depression. He highlights the human gut microbe symbiosis, early-life microbial exposure's influence, and the adult microbiome's malleability. We explore microbiome-based therapeutics' potential, challenges in translating animal models to humans, personalized medicine's future, the microbiome's impact on drug efficacy, gut bacteria's influence on behaviors and cravings, and the importance of a healthy gut diet.
