[Mild language warning] The Sharpener has been to some dark places recently, including death, loss and disease. Here, You'll find an update, because, let's face it, it's been a while since we caught up, and I also want to lighten up the gloom, and share my path of reinvention through the pandemic and the birth of the virtual revolution known as the metaverse. If the past couple years have been about adjusting to the ‘new normal', the road ahead will be about adjusting to a world of constant readjusting. Perhaps my story and thoughts through this will mean something to you as well, for whatever they're worth. Much more The Sharpener blog and website.

In dieser Folge von Mildly Interesting haben wir uns wieder Verstärkung geholt von einer Person, die Ahnung hat: Franca Parianen ist soziale Neurowissenschaftlerin, Science-Slammerin und mit ihrem Buch "Hormongesteuert ist immerhin selbstbestimmt" Spiegel-Bestsellerautorin. Wir haben sie ausgefragt über Hormon-Klischees, ob Soja feminin macht, wie man Empathie misst und ob der Mensch von Grund auf fair ist. Herausgekommen ist eine gute halbe Stunde in der wir viel Neues gelernt haben, unteranderem auch warum Wissenschaftler:innen manchmal Mäuse mit Zahnbürsten streicheln. Danke an Franca fürs Kommen! Folgt ihr auf Twitter: @FParianen Und lest in ihre Bücher: https://www.rowohlt.de/autor/franca-parianen-18148 Oder hört "Hormongesteuert ist immerhin selbstbestimmt" auf Spotify als Hörbuch: https://open.spotify.com/album/5nLBZKf2BZJP2zeOWnnyWG?si=-E3pz2sdSQqD4W4c_KH3Gg

Kryoelektronenmikroskopie ist doch mal ein super Wort für einen Buchstabierwettbewerb. Dahinter versteckt sich aber eine coole (im wahrsten Sinne des Wortes) Methode, wie man Proteinstrukturen analysieren kann und somit die Forschung weiterbringt. Wenn euch das noch zu abstrakt ist, hat Caro noch ein paar Überlebenstipps im Gepäck: Denn wenn ihr gerade in Treibsand versinkt und wissen wollt wie euch das wiedermal passieren konnte, kommt euch diese Episode von Mildly Interesting zur Hilfe. Doch wenn es gerade sehr dringend ist, ist unser bester Tipp: Don't panic.

This week we explore a particularly dull week in sports. The Euro Cup begins and is getting somewhat interesting because France and Hungary played out a rivetting 1-1 draw, we give our picks one who will win and more (03:45). Also, Cristiano Ronaldo causes a 4 billion fall in Coca Cola's shares by putting away a few bottles at a EURO 2020 press meet. Not to be left behind, Paul Pogba responded by trashing on Heineken. Are woke athletes the need of the hour or do we support the pain felt by multinational companies (23:49)? Meanwhile, we hope for torrential downpour in England as India struggle in their World Test Championship final against New Zealand (35:23). More such cogent insight awaits you this week on the Vele Podcast!

Double Digits, BABEY. Mildly Interesting geht in die zehnte Runde. In dieser Folge geht es deswegen als kleines Special ausschließlich um Weltraumthemen. Sam erzählt von den neusten Funden von Wasser auf dem Mond und SOFIA (Stratospheric Observatory for Infrared Astronomy), das Flugzeug, mit dem das Wasser endeckt wurde. Caro wiederum erklärt uns, wie wir genau wissen, wo genau wir uns in der Milchstraße und warum die Sonne nicht der Ursprung der Galaxie ist.
