Today on Verbal Shenanigans, we are joined by the genius responsible for some of the most iconic, face-melting, and unforgettable theme songs in television history: Ron Wasserman. Under aliases like 'The Mighty RAW,' Ron didn't just write background music—he crafted the high-octane heavy metal riffs behind Mighty Morphin Power Rangers, the legendary synth-and-guitar groove of X-Men: The Animated Series, and music for Dragon Ball Z, VR Troopers, Mighty Morphin Power Rangers: Once & Always, and countless iconic TV hits.  A great interview loaded with nostalgia.   We also dive into the amazing Minecraft world of Mike Tomlin and play a game featuring some insane Doomsday scenarios.  A great week of Verbal Shenanigans.  Have a listen!

Every Word We Speak Matters: Mind, Emotions, Body and LifeEvery word we speak matters. It affects our mind, our emotions, our body, and our life. In this episode of Words... with Jill, Fiona and Jill explore the energy of language and how conscious speech changes the way we move through the world. The idea that words carry power is ancient. Sanskrit traditions hold speech as sacred, and Kabbalah sees the Hebrew letters as the building blocks of creation. Today, research on self-talk and on putting feelings into words suggests that the language we use can ease stress and change how we respond to difficult moments. Drawing on Florence Scovel Shinn's classic Your Word Is Your Wand, Fiona and Jill share practical ways to reframe conflict, meet everyday encounters with empathy, and be gentle with yourself when emotions run high. You'll come away with a new awareness of what you say to others and to yourself, and how much of it is your choice. This week, notice one word you use often. How does it feel in your body? Spiritual and cultural traditions on wordsBuddhism: Right Speech is one of the steps of the Eightfold Path: speak truthfully, kindly, and without harshness or gossip.Hebrew Bible and Judaism: Proverbs 18:21 says death and life are in the power of the tongue. The teaching against lashon hara (harmful speech) is central to Jewish ethics.Christianity: The Gospel of John opens with "In the beginning was the Word."Ancient Egypt: In the Memphite theology, the god Ptah creates the world by thinking and then speaking it. Heka, the power of the spoken word, was central to Egyptian magic and healing.Hawaiian tradition: A well-known saying, "I ka ʻōlelo nō ke ola, i ka ʻōlelo nō ka make," means "in the word is life, in the word is death."Islam and Sufism: Dhikr is the repetition of sacred names as a practice, and a well-known hadith says to speak good or remain silent.Toltec wisdom: Don Miguel Ruiz's The Four Agreements opens with "Be impeccable with your word."Aboriginal Australian tradition: Songlines carry the creation of the land through song and speech. Since you know Australia well, you may want to speak to this one yourself.Words, affirmations, and the bodyYou Can Heal Your Life by Louise Hay (1984): affirmations and the link between thought patterns and physical wellbeing.The Game of Life and How to Play It by Florence Scovel Shinn (1925): her earlier companion to Your Word Is Your Wand.The Biology of Belief by Bruce Lipton (2005): how beliefs may influence cells and health.

Description Dov Baron opens Season 4 with the claim that the whole season rests on. Meaning is not a psychological thing that sits on top of your biology. Meaning is biology. What happened to you didn't just shape how you think. It shaped what you are made of. Dov grew up in a family that was wickedly funny, with humor that had an edge on it, a grandfather who could open you with a sentence and stroll off laughing. A small body learning to armor itself in a fraction of a second, over and over, until the vigilance was carved into his face.Then he hands you the research, before the framework, the way he always does. A 2009 study in Nature Neuroscience showing a childhood can flip a chemical switch on a single gene, for life. The Dutch Hunger Winter of 1944, and the children marked in the womb whose DNA still carried it sixty years later. The Adverse Childhood Experiences study: tens of thousands of adults, hardship then and disease now, on a straight line.From there, two bodies and one mechanism. Dov's face, trained to brace. His wife Ren's, trained to hold a smile over a violent house that could never look anything but perfect. The same childhood threat, opposite instructions to the face.And three scientists, arriving from the other side of the mountain, physics and medicine, who describe meaning living in the very material of the body. Convergence, honestly labeled, not oversold.This is the ground the rest of the season is built on. Your Emotional Source Code does not live only in your mind. It lives in your cells, your nervous system, and the muscles you are using to hold your face right now.Reach up. There is something written there. And for the first time, you get to read it.Episode highlights - The 2009 Nature Neuroscience finding that a childhood can switch a single gene, for life- A wartime famine that marked children still in the womb, and was measurable sixty years on- Why Dov's face and Ren's carry the same childhood threat in opposite ways- Three scientists, from physics and medicine, describing meaning held in the body itself- The one thing you can now do that those marked children never couldTopics covered Topics in this episode include: Epigenetics and childhood stress, the Dutch Hunger Winter, the Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACE) study, the biology of emotion, the Emotional Source Code, Emotional Meaning Architecture, consciousness and the physics of living systems, and how early environment shapes the human face and nervous system.Further reading (Cited research sources)McGowan, P.

What if dopamine isn't actually the "pleasure chemical" we've been told it is?   And what if the same system driving you to build more, achieve more, earn more, and become more is also making it harder to enjoy the life you already have?   In this episode of The Super Human Life, Frank Rich sits down with psychiatrist Dr. Daniel Z. Lieberman, co-author of the international bestseller The Molecule of More, for a fascinating conversation about dopamine, addiction, achievement, love, identity, and the endless human pursuit of "more."   Dr. Lieberman explains why dopamine is less about pleasure itself and more about anticipation, pursuit, novelty, and the future—and why this distinction changes the way we understand everything from success and ambition to pornography, relationships, social media, and addiction.   Frank and Dr. Lieberman explore why highly successful people can reach the top and still feel empty, how modern technology exploits ancient reward systems, and why "cheap dopamine" from pornography, junk food, gambling, scrolling, and digital stimulation can gradually replace the harder—but more meaningful—rewards found in real life.   They also challenge the popular idea of the "dopamine reset." Dr. Lieberman explains why simply removing stimulation may not create lasting transformation and why overcoming addiction ultimately requires something deeper: rewiring the brain and changing your identity.   This leads to one of the most powerful moments of the conversation as Dr. Lieberman validates the identity-based approach Frank has developed through his work with nearly 1,900 men: lasting freedom isn't simply about restricting access to an addictive behavior. It's about becoming someone who no longer needs that behavior.   The conversation then goes deeper into community, belonging, spirituality, serotonin 2A, the unconscious mind, and why meaningful identity transformation can sometimes seem to happen suddenly after years of struggle.   Frank and Dr. Lieberman also explore the role dopamine plays in love and marriage, why the intense "honeymoon phase" eventually fades, and how passionate love can transform into a deeper companionate love built around trust, presence, friendship, and shared life.   They discuss why highly driven men can struggle to enjoy this quieter form of fulfillment—and why the very ambition that helps a man build an extraordinary career can make it difficult for him to be fully present with his wife, children, and the life he worked so hard to create.   Dr. Lieberman also shares his perspective on children, exploration, ADHD, real-world risk, and the consequences of moving more of childhood into digital environments. He explains why young people need healthy outlets for exploration and why doing difficult things in the real world matters.   Finally, Dr. Lieberman shares the practices he personally uses to balance his future-oriented drive—including meditation, breathwork, and device-free walks in nature—and explains why anyone trying to eliminate cheap dopamine should first decide what they're going to replace it with.   Because dopamine itself isn't the enemy.   It drives ambition, creativity, exploration, love, achievement, and progress.   The question is whether you're directing that drive toward a meaningful life—or allowing an increasingly stimulating world to direct it for you.     In this episode, you'll discover: What most people misunderstand about dopamine and pleasure   Why dopamine is really about anticipation, pursuit, novelty, and "more"   Why high achievers can reach the top and still feel empty   The hidden relationship between success, dopamine, and addiction   Why pornography and other forms of "easy dopamine" can become so compelling   How the modern world exploits reward systems built for scarcity   "Easy dopamine" vs. the harder rewards of real-world accomplishment   Why a dopamine reset or dopamine fast isn't the same as changing your life   Why lasting addiction recovery requires identity transformation   The role community and belonging can play in recovery   Spirituality, serotonin 2A, and identity change   Why change can sometimes happen suddenly after years of struggling   How dopamine influences attraction and falling in love   Why the honeymoon phase doesn't last forever   Passionate love vs. companionate love   Why ambitious men can struggle with presence and long-term fulfillment   What parents should understand about dopamine and childhood exploration   Dr. Lieberman's perspective on ADHD and modern expectations of boys   Why meditation, breathwork, and phone-free nature walks matter   Why removing cheap dopamine without replacing it often fails   How working with your hands reconnects you with the real world   How to pursue a better future without missing the life you have today   About Dr. Daniel Z. Lieberman Dr. Daniel Z. Lieberman is a psychiatrist and co-author of The Molecule of More, which explores how dopamine influences desire, love, sex, creativity, addiction, ambition, and the human drive to pursue what comes next.   He is also the author of Spellbound, an exploration of the unconscious mind and the hidden forces influencing human behavior, and is currently working on The Molecules of Catastrophe, examining how the brain can respond to profound loss and, under the right circumstances, transform catastrophe into growth and a life richer in meaning.   Connect With Dr. Daniel Z.

Episode: 3408 When Molecules Bump.  Today, a historical injustice.

Do you feel exhausted by the end of a long shift, reaching for coffee or something artificial just to make it through the next one? If you've ever wondered whether there's a simpler, faith-based way to fuel your body, this episode is for you. This post is for the Christian woman who is tired of feeling exhausted, tired of ignoring her body's signals, and ready to start paying attention to what real, God-given nourishment actually looks like. You won't find a magic fix here — just an honest look at one small experiment, and a bigger conversation about trusting how God designed our bodies to be fed. A Personal Experiment Born Out of Exhaustion Working ten to thirteen hour hospital shifts, sometimes three days in a row, leaves little room for rest or careful eating. Packing meals, driving between hospitals, and carrying supplies all day adds up — and it's easy to end those shifts running on empty. That exhaustion is what led to trying something simple: adding a quart of organic coconut water to long shifts, in place of the energy drinks and coffee that never fit into the routine to begin with. What the Research Actually Says About Coconut Water A look at a peer-reviewed article in the journal Molecules on the chemical composition of coconut water offered some interesting context. Coconut water has historically been used for oral and even intravenous rehydration in remote regions of the world, thanks to its natural content of sodium, potassium, magnesium, and calcium. One serving contains modest amounts of these nutrients — nothing flashy on a label. But the research also pointed out something worth sitting with: scientists still don't fully understand every compound in coconut water, and more advanced detection methods may reveal even more of its properties over time. That's a reminder that even something as simple as coconut water reflects a level of complexity science hasn't fully caught up to yet. Becoming Your Own Lab Rat This is a concept I write about in my own book, Discover God's Health Wisdom: Exposing 8 Common Myths That Keep You Sick — the idea of testing how your own body responds to different foods, herbs, and habits rather than assuming one approach works for everyone. The personal experiment looked like this: Day one: one quart of coconut water during a shift, modest energy improvement Day two: noticeably more energized despite another long shift Day three: energy held steady with another quart Every body responds differently. Not everyone will notice a dramatic shift, and not everyone will even like the taste — that's simply a reminder that discernment matters more than trends. Why Whole, God-Made Foods Matter There's a bigger principle underneath this whole experiment: real, whole foods created by God are inherently powerful, not because of a flashy nutrition label, but because of who made them. Genesis describes Adam as formed from the earth — a picture of how our bodies were designed to interact with the plants, animals, and elements God created. When our diets drift far from that design and lean heavily on heavily processed, man-made foods, it's not surprising that many of us feel chronically hungry or drained, even when we're eating constantly. This isn't about guilt or perfection. Even a home that values whole foods still has birthday trips to a fast food restaurant sometimes. It's about asking God for wisdom on what serves your body well, rather than following culture's default. A Word on Discernment, Not Diagnosis None of this is medical advice, and it's not a promise that coconut water — or any single food — will transform your energy overnight. What matters more is the practice of paying attention: noticing how your body responds, asking God for wisdom about your choices, and taking small, faithful steps toward better stewardship of your health. Time-Stamped Highlights 00:00 — Introduction: adding coconut water to long shifts instead of reaching for energy drinks or coffee 00:28 to 01:29 — The reality of ten to thirteen hour hospital shifts and the search for sustainable energy 01:57 to 02:24 — Why energy drinks and coffee were never part of the routine 02:24 to 03:49 — The three-day coconut water experiment and its results 03:49 to 05:47 — What the Molecules journal article reveals about coconut water's nutrient profile and potential benefits 06:17 to 07:41 — A comparison to essential oils and the complexity of plants God created 08:12 to 09:10 — Why a simple nutrition label doesn't tell the whole story 09:40 to 10:37 — Genesis, Adam's design, and the connection between the body and the earth 11:05 to 12:55 — Processed food, chronic hunger, and cultural blind spots around "real food" 13:21 to 14:18 — Why every body is different, and permission to skip coconut water if it's not for you Key Takeaways Whole, God-created foods often carry a complexity that science is still working to fully understand Testing how your own body responds to different foods is a valuable form of self-stewardship Chronic exhaustion and constant hunger are sometimes signs the body is starved of real nutrients, not just calories Faith and food aren't separate categories — asking God for wisdom about what to eat is part of honoring how He designed the body Not every remedy works the same for everyone, and that's not a problem to solve — it's simply how God made each person unique Your Next Step If this episode stirred something in you — a quiet recognition that you've been running on empty for too long, feeding your body without ever really listening to it — that's worth paying attention to. If you're ready for more than information, if you want someone to walk with you one-on-one through a truly holistic approach to your health, body, mind, and spirit, rooted in how God actually designed you to heal, book your free call at herholistichealing.com/call and let's talk.

Episode 231: Shakespeare in noted for the diversity of deaths in the plays and the way that he represents the mechanics of those deaths. My guest for this episode has written a book on this very subject, ‘Death by Shakespeare', who's subtitle ‘Snakebites, Stabbings and Broken Hearts', gives just a hint of that diversity. In the book Kathryn Harkup casts a scientific eye over the varied and creative ways that Shakespeare's characters die and both questions and admires the accuracy of the portrayals of death in the plays and looks at how Shakespeare's audience would have received these events, and much more.Kathryn Harkup is a former chemist turned writer and science communicator. Her interests are in anything gothic, gory and geeky, and preferably all three. She has written several books on the crossover between science, literature and pop culture including The Secret Lives of the Elements, The Secret Lives of Molecules, A is for Arsenic: The Poisons of Agatha Christie, Making the Monster: The Science of Mary Shelley's Frankenstein, Death by Shakespeare: Snakebites, Stabbings and Broken Hearts, Superspy Science: Science, Death and Tech in the World of James Bond and Vampirology: The Science of Horror's Most Famous Fiend.

In this Supplement Ingredient Series episode, Nurse Doza makes the case for the B vitamin nobody talks about: vitamin B6. Everyone knows B12 — the pills, the injections, the whole routine — but B6 is the cofactor your body leans on to build serotonin, dopamine, and GABA, the neurotransmitters behind mood, focus, and steady daytime energy. He covers who tends to run low, why intake alone doesn't guarantee good status, and where an adaptogen-plus-adrenal formula like Zen fits in. FEATURED PARTNER Zen (Stress Relief) by MSW Nutrition is the formula Nurse Doza reaches for when the B6 conversation turns practical. Each capsule delivers 15 mg of vitamin B6 as P5P — the already-active form your enzymes can use directly — alongside 125 mg of bovine adrenal gland (Argentina) and a five-botanical adaptogen blend: rhodiola, Asian ginseng, eleuthero, schisandra, and licorice, plus vitamin C and 150 mg of pantothenic acid. It's built to support the body's adaptogenic response to everyday stressors and support energy production and stamina.

Much of Australia's energy transition debate has focused on electricity – renewables, transmission, batteries and the grid. But there's another part of the transition that's arguably just as important, and one that receives far less attention: the future of liquid fuels. In this episode, Gilbert + Tobin partners Jamie Guthrie and Ilona Millar are joined by Céline Parle, Sustainable Aviation Fuel Investments, Airbus and Mac Irvine, Chief Financial Officer, Jet Zero Australia, with Giles Parkinson, Founder and Editor-in-Chief of Renew Economy, moderating the discussion. They explore the role sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) could play in Australia's energy transition – from decarbonising aviation and strengthening fuel security to creating a new domestic industry. The discussion considers what it will take to get Australian SAF projects off the ground, including investment, policy support and the demand certainty needed to make projects commercially viable.

Can a cell control what gets in and what stays out? Here's how membrane transport actually works.In this episode of the Jack Westin MCAT Podcast, Mike and Molly break down one of the most tested concepts on the exam: how molecules move across the cell membrane. Building on last episode's dive into lipids, they explore what makes a membrane selectively permeable and why that matters for medicine as a whole.

This episode covers three very different astronomy stories and then moves into a lively Q&A with listener questions. Andrew Dunkley and Professor Fred Watson discuss a possible sugary molecule in the center of the Milky Way, the risk lunar landers may contaminate ice that could preserve clues to life's origins, and a new way to track lost dogs using satellite connectivity. The second half of the episode answers questions about moons with atmospheres, secret astronomy, hot Jupiters, and black hole mergers.Key topicsIn this episode, Fred Watson explains an update from Peter Verweyen on MOND, now referred to as Aether Scalar Tensor Theory, and how it relates to dark matter and dark energy debates.We discuss the detection of erythrulose, a sugar molecule found in interstellar gas clouds near the center of the Milky Way, and why this matters for prebiotic chemistry.Fred describes how molecules like sugar can form in cold molecular clouds before stars and planets exist, making some ingredients for life surprisingly common.We discuss a new study warning that rocket exhaust from future lunar landings could contaminate ice in permanently shadowed craters at the Moon's south pole.The Moon's polar ice may contain ancient prebiotic molecules delivered by comets, asteroids, and dust, making it a possible time capsule for the chemistry that led to life.We discuss the practical and ethical problem that landers have to use rocket engines, and those exhaust plumes may spread methane and other organics across the lunar surface very quickly.Fred shares how satellite-based direct-to-cell or direct-to-mobile systems could help locate lost dogs in remote places without cell coverage.We discuss how this kind of tracking builds on existing GPS pet trackers, and how it could be useful in wilderness areas, while also noting the limits and concerns in national parks.Timestamps(00:00) Start of the episode and what's coming up(03:12) MOND update and the new AEST name(07:10) A sugary molecule in the center of our galaxy(09:51) Why sugar can form in deep space before stars exist(12:24) Why lunar landings could contaminate the Moon's ice(14:54) The Moon as a time capsule for prebiotic molecules(16:24) Methane exhaust and rapid contamination risk(18:37) Should the Moon be protected like a national park?(20:28) Satellite tracking for lost dogs in remote areas(24:52) Direct-to-mobile satellite technology explained(25:44) The Judas goat program and invasive species controlBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/space-nuts-astronomy-insights-cosmic-discoveries--2631155/support.

HEALTH NEWS   Berberine Shows Beneficial Effects on Metabolic Health, Study Reports Cooperation beats selfishness more often than scientists thought Sleep Disorders Don't Just Exhaust You. New Research Shows They Change Your Brain Two Hours of Strength Training Weekly Linked to Lower Heart Attack Risk in Women, Study Finds Planetary Health Diet lowers cardiovascular risk in older women     Berberine Shows Beneficial Effects on Metabolic Health, Study Reports Peking Union Medical College (China), July 24 2026 (Natural News)     A review published in the journal Molecules has summarized evidence indicating that berberine, a compound found in several plants, may influence glucose and lipid metabolism. According to the review, berberine has been associated with improvements in metabolic health markers across multiple studies. The compound is a yellow alkaloid extracted from plants such as European barberry, goldenseal, goldthread, Oregon grape, and tree turmeric. The review cited evidence that berberine may reduce blood glucose levels and improve insulin sensitivity, according to clinical trials. A systematic review of seven randomized clinical trials from China published in Nutrients revealed that berberine consistently alters the composition of gut bacteria in patients taking the supplement, and the analysis examined data across conditions including Type 2 diabetes, high cholesterol, and colorectal adenoma. Lipid panel improvements, including lower total cholesterol and triglycerides, were also reported in the reviewed studies.   Cooperation beats selfishness more often than scientists thought Hebrew University of Jerusalem & Rutgers University, July 20 2026 (Eureaklert)  For decades, one of the most influential ideas in evolutionary biology has suggested that when individuals act purely in their own self-interest, cooperation should eventually collapse. But a new study by the Hebrew University of Jerusalem and Rutgers University demonstrates that evolution may be far more optimistic than previously believed. Their findings reveal that cooperation does not require close family ties, reputation, repeated favors, or rigid social structures. Instead, cooperation can flourish simply because individuals respond differently to different opponents. The research proposes a new solution to one of biology's oldest puzzles: how cooperation survives in a world shaped by natural selection. Using mathematical models, evolutionary simulations, and populations of artificial intelligence agents, the researchers found that cooperation consistently evolved when individuals adjusted their willingness to cooperate according to whom they encountered. Rather than treating everyone identically, simple opponent-specific responses created stable communities in which cooperative behavior repeatedly outperformed purely selfish strategies. Perhaps the study's most surprising finding is that cooperative societies are not fragile exceptions. Across thousands of simulations, populations repeatedly evolved toward highly cooperative states, while purely selfish populations often failed to dominate. Even when mutations introduced new defectors, cooperative communities remained remarkably resilient.   Sleep Disorders Don't Just Exhaust You. New Research Shows They Change Your Brain Florida International University, July 26, 2026 (SciTech Daily) A poor night's sleep can affect far more than energy the next day. Research from Florida International University links sleep disorders with structural differences in brain regions that help control attention, motivation and decision-making. Published in the journal Scientific Reports, the findings provide one of the broadest comparisons yet of how different sleep disorders are associated with the brain.  The researchers compared two broad categories. Dyssomnias, such as insomnia and sleep apnea, interfere with falling asleep or remaining asleep. Parasomnias, including sleepwalking, nightmare disorder and sleep terrors, involve unusual events that disrupt the sleep cycle. Both categories were associated with decreases in the thalamus, a region that filters incoming information, supports concentration, and contributes to higher-level thinking. The researchers identified changes specifically in the pulvinar, an area within the thalamus that directs attention and helps manage cognitive control. These differences were connected with wider brain networks that support concentration and task performance. That pattern may help explain why disrupted sleep is associated with slower reactions, poorer decision-making and a greater likelihood of errors and accidents.   Two Hours of Strength Training Weekly Linked to Lower Heart Attack Risk in Women, Study Finds Harvard School of Public Health, July 26 2026 (Natural News) A large-scale study published in the Journal of the American College of Cardiology has found that women who engage in regular strength training have a significantly lower risk of developing cardiovascular disease. The study examined data from 117,025 women over an average follow-up period of 14.5 years.   Women who performed any amount of resistance training had a lower risk of cardiovascular events compared with those who did none. The association persisted after adjusting for overall lifestyle and health factors, the study stated.  Among the study's specific findings, women who performed at least two hours of resistance training per week had a 44% lower risk of heart attack relative to women who did no resistance training, the report said. Any cardiovascular disease risk was 20% lower for that group, with an additional 5% reduction per extra hour of weekly resistance training, according to the study. The benefits of strength training were more pronounced among women who maintained resistance training consistently and trained both upper and lower body, according to the study. Adding strength training to regular aerobic exercise – such as walking or running – was linked to better heart health.   Planetary Health Diet lowers cardiovascular risk in older women University of Caliornia at Irvine, July 25 2026 (News-Medical) A 20-year study of more than 65,000 postmenopausal women found that higher adherence to the Planetary Health Diet was associated with a lower risk of overall cardiovascular disease, coronary heart disease, stroke and heart failure. The findings showed that women whose diet most closely followed the Planetary Health Diet had about a 28% lower risk of cardiovascular disease compared with women in the group scoring the lowest for adherence. However, even moderate adherence to the diet was linked with lower risk. The Planetary Health Diet emphasizes foods such as fruits, vegetables, whole grains, legumes, nuts and unsaturated fats while limiting foods such as red and processed meats, added sugars, refined grains and saturated fats. The investigators followed 66,892 participants in the Women's Health Initiative (WHI).  Overall, the results showed that women in the group whose diets were more closely aligned with the Planetary Health Diet had the lowest risk of cardiovascular disease. These women also showed a decreased risk of heart disease, heart failure and stroke risk compared to the women in the lowest-adherence group. However, even moderate adherence to the diet was associated with a decrease in risk, with each 10-point increase in Planetary Health Diet Index score linked to further risk reduction.

As we wrap up Season 8 of the podcast, we take time to catch up with prolific chemist-theologian-pastor-writer and much-loved Regent professor, Dr. Ross Hastings. Ross's new book, God and Molecules: Chemical Evolution and Divine Providence, explores how God has been working purposefully in his creation all the way back to the first molecules. This is a conversation that stretches the limits of knowledge in the two disciplines Ross is integrating, inviting intellectual humility. Claire and Rachel sought to model this by asking many non-specialist clarifying questions! Even if you are not a scientist, we invite you to listen and learn from the insights chemistry can bring to our understanding of God, his divine agency in the world, and his relationship to creation. As Ross says, these insights inspire our awe and worship, reminding us that our God is too small and our God isn't small enough. See you in September!Ross's BioDr. Ross Hastings, a Zimbabwean Scot, holds PhDs in organometallic chemistry and theology. He currently serves as the Sangwoo Youtong Chee Professor of Theology at Regent College, where he teaches systematic and pastoral theology.

Peptides are everywhere in the healthcare zeitgeist. On social media, you're likely to encounter an influencer claiming that injecting or ingesting peptides can improve your skin, build muscle,increase focus or help you lead a longer and healthier life. Peptides are short chains of amino acids that are fundamental building blocks in protein and our bodies make them naturally. While some synthetic peptides like insulin and GLP-1s are widely used and approved, the off market use of other peptides have raised concerns among scientists. We'll talk about the promise, dangers and hype of peptides.

If intelligent design is so apparent in living organisms and in the cosmos, why don't more people accept it? Here on part two of our conversation with President of Reasons to Believe, biochemist, author, and apologist, Dr. Fuz Rana, we explore this question and reveal how people do in fact recognize design, but yet suppress that truth. Fuz will give us some winsome wisdom about how we as Christians can intelligently engage in the theology-science dialogue and help unbelievers see Christ more clearly. Fuz's Testimony and Background: "As a graduate student studying biochemistry, I was captivated by the cell's complexity, elegance, and sophistication. The inadequacy of evolutionary scenarios to account for life's origin compelled me to conclude that life must come from a Creator. Reading through the Sermon on the Mount convinced me that Jesus really was who Christians claimed him to be: Lord and Savior. Still, encouraging others to join me in following Christ wasn't important to me—until my father died. His death changed that. In 1999, I left my position in research and development at a Fortune 500 company to join Reasons to Believe. I felt the most important thing I could do as a scientist was to show Christians and non-Christians alike the powerful scientific evidence for God's existence and for the reliability of the Bible."Free Resources from Watchman Fellowship Naturalism: https://www.watchman.org/Naturalism/ProfileNaturalism.pdfScientism: https://www.watchman.org/scientism/ProfileScientism.pdfPanpsychism: https://www.watchman.org/files/ProfilePanpsychism.pdfAtheism: https://www.watchman.org/profiles/pdf/atheismprofile.pdfAdditional ResourcesFREE: We are also offering a subscription to our 4-page bimonthly Profiles here: www.watchman.org/FreePROFILE NOTEBOOK: Order the complete collection of Watchman Fellowship Profiles (around 700 pages -- from Astrology to Zen Buddhism) in either printed or PDF formats here: www.watchman.org/NotebookSUPPORT: Help us create more content like this.

"Evolution is a settled fact!" we're often told by scientists, science popularizers, and probably have seen this statement not a few times on social media. But there has been another, perhaps less-noticed trend in the evolutionary sciences today. There is an ever-increasing academic dissent against evolution by means of natural selection as the best explanation for the variety of life we see on Earth today. The more scientists probe the wonders of living organisms, and the stunningly overwhelming variety of species that exist today, the more improbable the Neo-Darwinian account of the diversification of species seems to many. This week on the Profile we feature a conversation with the President of Reasons to Believe, biochemist, author, and Christian apologist Dr. Fuz Rana. We'll discuss some of the key reasons why intelligent design in biology is seemingly making a comeback. We go beyond mere intelligent design though, and discuss the specifics of how design in biology and in the universe points us back to Scripture and ultimately to Christ. Fuz's Testimony and Background: "As a graduate student studying biochemistry, I was captivated by the cell's complexity, elegance, and sophistication.

Max Power recently discovered a massive subsurface natural hydrogen system in Saskatchewan, which experts suggest could eventually rival traditional natural gas in scale. Unlike manufactured industrial hydrogen, natural hydrogen is processed by nature and has the potential to be produced at a fraction of the cost, making it highly attractive to commercial markets. The discovery's unique geographical conditions provide both clean electricity and cooling water, positioning Saskatchewan as an ideal location for the rapid development of next-generation AI data centers. BEST MOMENTS "If you only produce 2% of it you would have enough of a clean energy source for the next 100 years."  "The geological structure that's necessary to create natural hydrogen reservoirs is the same one that created the potash industry and the uranium sector."  "We have a saying: it's not going to be very long to go from mining to molecules—months to molecules."  "I can look ahead in five years or ten years and see natural hydrogen as the major new source of energy in the world."

Episode: 3380 What underlies a term from physics: Ergodic (or Ergodicity).  Today, let us steal a word from physics.

The Moon can be like a painter’s canvas, dabbed with many colors: the silver of a frosty night, the gold of honey, the orange of a ripe cantaloupe, even the deep red of blood. But it’s almost never blue – at least not in appearance. It sometimes is blue in name, though – including tonight. That’s because it’s the second full Moon of May – a repeat appearance known as a Blue Moon. The color of the Moon – full or not – depends on several factors. When the Moon is low in the sky, as it rises or sets, its light passes through a thicker layer of air. Molecules in the atmosphere scatter blue wavelengths of light, allowing the red to shine through. As the Moon climbs higher, we see more of its true color – gray. But the Moon is so bright that it looks white or silver. During a lunar eclipse, the Moon passes through Earth’s dark shadow. But sunlight filtering through Earth’s atmosphere makes the Moon look dark orange or red. In rare cases, the Moon can actually look blue. That happens after volcanic eruptions or big forest fires. These events pump out particles that scatter red light, allowing the blue to shine through. After the eruption of Krakatoa, in 1883, the Moon appeared blue for months around the entire globe. Whatever its color, enjoy tonight’s Blue Moon. And look quite close to it throughout the night for the star Antares, the heart of the scorpion. They’ll be closest as they set.

We are now recording an audio version of written posts that we will upload to Apple, Spotify, and YouTube, which you can listen to by clicking the button the play button above.As the Strait of Hormuz (SoH) Crisis completes its third month and on-again/off-again peace talks drag on, we are starting to see the outlines of various structural themes emerging, and, as importantly, some that are not. Thematically we see the following:* Power Surge! Our Power Surge! super-cycle theme has not only not been knocked off track by the SoH Crisis, but has likely been enhanced based on “the four Ds” of pragmatic energy policy orientation we discuss below. Recently completed 1Q 2026 earnings season shows the AI (artificial intelligence) and broader digital transformation theme is as strong as ever.* Geopolitical Super Vol. Geopolitical Super Vol remains our commodity macro framework, in particular for crude oil prices. Since Russia-Ukraine and through SoH-to-date, we have resisted crude oil super-cycle framings while also, importantly, rejecting perma bear doom-and-gloom. The unforgiving math of global oil demand being forced down to circa 95 million b/d of supply from around 105 million b/d pre-crisis suggests recession is the most likely clearing mechanism rather than a structural increase in long-dated oil prices in the event a significant disruption to flows persists. To be clear, we do see scope for a modest increase in long-end oil on the order of $10/bbl to account for both cost inflation and an increased geopolitical risk premium.* Molecules to markets. In our view, getting molecules to markets is the more pressing strategic imperative for countries than simply trying to find the molecules in the first place. In traditional energy, this puts a premium on well-positioned midstream and downstream assets. In the upstream business, there is always an opportunity to find acreage that is well positioned on the future cost curve. Having a midstream or downstream solution (e.g., LNG) may be an increasing success factor for larger E&P (exploration and production) companies.* New business models > pure-play (for larger companies). The era of extreme pure-play specialization we think will fade, or at least will no longer be the dominant ask of investors. Business model evolution is likely to continue to separate leaders from laggards. Examples we find intriguing include pressure pumpers and midstream companies diversifying into behind-the-meter (BTM) power, US shale gas producers expanding into midstream and potentially LNG, refiners that have grown midstream capabilities, midstream companies that have grown export opportunities, and the expanded commercial trading opportunities that larger companies have pursued. The list is growing.* Brownfield > greenfield (usually). The advantage of doing more from existing assets is something both countries and companies have in common. Brownfield almost always beats greenfield on profitability and speed-to-market, though a best-in-class greenfield project like Guyana oil is the type of exception that exists to the general rule.From an energy policy perspective, the Strait of Hormuz Crisis reveals what we are now calling the four Ds of country-level energy policy aspiration:* Do as much Domestic production as possible;* Diversify energy sources and technologies;* Do more from existing assets; and* embrace Digital transformation and AI.Subscribe to Super-Spiked to receive all content via email. Also available on https://veriten.com.The Four Ds of Pragmatic Energy PolicyThe four Ds are the pragmatic policy implication of country leaders recognizing energy's natural hierarchy of needs (Exhibit 1). On the right side of Exhibit 1, we rank (higher on list is better) resource rich countries and resource challenged areas in terms of federal policy orientation that recognizes energy's natural hierarchy of needs and implementation of the four Ds relative to a given country's strengths and weaknesses.Saudi Arabia and United Arab Emirates among resource rich regions and China among resource challenged areas we see as having favorable federal energy policy orientations. Laggards are not surprising: Western Europe, California, Canada, and Australia. What KSA, UAE, and China have in common are national leadership that emphasizes the ideas of “all of the above,” maximum (or optimal) output of what you can control, and unapologetic “their own country first” mentalities.Super-Spiked subscribers know we have a very favorable view of Canada's oil and gas potential and the leading companies in the province of Alberta. We had an unfavorable view of the federal energy policies pursued by the prior Trudeau regime, with the jury out on the current Carney administration. On the latter, we appreciate that the rhetoric has improved off a low starting point. The proof will be in the policy implementation pudding.No country should aspire to follow the path of California or Western Europe and their “climate first” ideology (dishonorable mention goes to many states in the US northeast). Sadly, poor energy policy choices made in those areas are going to mean that less fortunate consumers and businesses in developing Asia suffer from being outbid for needed energy like LNG, jet fuel, and diesel during times of stress, as we last saw in the early days of Russia-Ukraine. It has been some time since we have done a deep dive on Australia; our sense would be that it is in the Canada category of having substantial oil and gas resources that the world would massively benefit from, but is being held back by ill-advised climate-first ideology by its national leaders.Exhibit 1: A Hierarchy of Energy Needs & Country Policy Objectives and OrientationSource: Veriten.Doing More From Existing AssetsIn previous issues of Super-Spiked, we have discussed three of the Ds: do as much domestic production as possible, diversify energy sources and technology, and embrace digital transformation and AI. Therefore, in this post we will expand on the “do more from existing assets” theme.* A major advantage the developed world has over China, India, and other developing areas is a large installed base of assets and infrastructure. Prematurely retiring old power plants in the name of “energy transition” and “The Climate Crisis” is the type of 2020-2023 mistake that has hurt competitiveness and affordability in the United States and Western Europe. In power generation, we are intrigued with trying to answer the question of how much new generation from legacy sources (e.g., natural gas, BTM, and traditional nuclear) is needed versus how much new generation technology is needed (e.g., fuel cells, enhanced geothermal, advanced nuclear) versus how much can existing grid utilization be improved via flexible loads and various grid enhancing technologies. How much more can we get from existing is important to how much we need from the other two options.* In crude oil markets, we do not believe there is the urgency to figure out “what's next” from a resource perspective as there was in the 2004-2014 super-cycle. To be clear, this comment is intended at the macro level; individual companies are almost always in need of figuring out what's next. Exploration and capital spending is likely to grow but we do not believe the kind of re-rating that happened during China/BRICs is warranted now. Rather we are most intrigued with what companies are doing to extend asset life (i.e., resource to production ratio) via a combination of technology application, business development, and midstream/downstream investment that can ensure molecules get moved to markets and turned into usable end products. Ironically, the Middle East looks like a compelling upstream opportunity for western oil and gas firms, given improved fiscal terms in certain areas. We have long held a favorable view of Canada (our concerns about its federal energy policies notwithstanding) and Alaska. Recent developments in many Latin American countries warrant a fresh look at the region for western players.* The largest areas that seem ripe to “do more from existing” include US shale oil, US shale gas, Middle East oil, Canada's oil sands, Venezuela oil, and developed market power grids.Growth and opportunityThe five areas of energy where we are most confident in growth include:* US and global power generation* Midstream and downstream infrastructure for crude oil and various metals and minerals* Grid enhancing technologies* US and global natural gas* Renewables and storageThe long-term opportunity to grow nuclear power is going to prove to be compelling for many countries, justifying the required patience in terms of time to development. Nuclear is the ultimate baseload, domestic, clean energy source.We remain open-minded about emerging and new energy technologies. We are seeing current growth in fuel cells and optimism about enhanced geothermal on the power generation side of the business. The SoH Crisis will accelerate adoption of electric vehicles and LNG trucks in particular in oil importing countries for diversification and affordability reasons.The success of new business models should diminish investor and activist demand for pure-playsThere is a misperception that investors prefer pure-plays or that investors only want more dividends and stock buybacks. Investors prefer companies that generate superior profitability with differentiated growth. Both are needed to sustainably outperform: profitability AND growth.The challenge in mature, cyclical sectors is that corporate over-enthusiasm for growth usually erodes profitability to the point where investors demand a disavowal of growth in favor of profitability and returning capital to shareholders. To be sure, if structural demand growth for a given commodity is something like 1%-2% per year, the expected growth rates for the largest companies within that sector is unlikely to be any more than +/- 1%-2% of the broader demand trajectory.As businesses mature and growth slows, the demand by investors to focus on sub-parts of the business often increases in order to enhance the combination of per share growth and profitability for a particular business segment. The post-2014 oil super-cycle bust and growth in U.S. shale turbocharged the demand for pure-plays, especially within the traditional oil & gas value chains. Certain pure-play shale oil producers, midstream companies, and refiners in fact performed exceptionally well.Power is clearly in a super-cycle and traditional oil and gas is operating with a Geopolitical Super Vol macro backdrop (a dramatic improvement from the post super-cycle bust phase of 2015-2020) and business opportunities abounding in the different product lines and geographies.SoH Crisis FAQQuestion 1: Has an oil super-cycle begun?Answer: No. Our core view remains Geopolitical Super Vol, not super-cycle.Q2: Have the odds of “peak oil demand” increased?A: No, we don't think so. However, we are concerned that if the Strait remains significantly disrupted that the painful adjustment down in global oil demand could mean that we spend a good part of the remainder of this decade recovering back to pre-crisis demand levels as incremental supply is brought online. In our view, the timing of a more permanent peak in oil demand is unknowable so long as the other seven billion people on Earth continue to use only a fraction of the energy The Lucky 1 Billion of Us take for granted.Q3: Isn't AI and the resulting power demand growth forecasts a bubble waiting to pop?A: No or, perhaps more accurately, not at this time. The fact that numerous stock markets like the U.S. (S&P 500), Japan (NIKKEI), and South Korea (KOSPI) are at or near all-time highs may indeed reflect complacency with the risk of global recession due to the ongoing SoH Crisis. We would differentiate stock market complacency with an AI bubble. We see it in the areas where we spend a lot of time: digital transformation and the application of AI is a game changer for numerous businesses. The stock market may well experience a major correction if the world tips into recession. Whatever short-term setback that might mean for near-term power generation we think would be akin to the Great Financial Crisis hit to oil demand in the middle of the China/BRICs super-cycle of 2004-2014, i.e., it was temporary.Q4: Don't investors prefer “pure-plays” over diversified companies? A: That view is missing our point. Investors prefer companies with competitive profitability and differentiated growth opportunities. The demand for “pure-plays” typically is the result of a mature sector experiencing a structural downcycle and investors being disappointed on both profitability and growth. And for sure, some companies should remain as pure-plays. The larger a company's market capitalization and overall size, the less we think a pure-play business model makes sense, be it basin or geography or asset type or business line. For small-caps and new technologies, the pure-play business model is often logical.Q5: So E&Ps will merge with refiners?A: No, we aren't expecting that type of integration or diversification. A future “integrated E&P” likely means some combination of midstream and commercial exposure as opposed to a historical upstream-refining mix, as an example.⚡️On A Personal Note: Work Hard. Golf Hard.It's been a great three-week stretch of Spring golf ramp-up. 8 rounds in 5 days in and around Troon, Scotland the first week of May and then our NJ club's flagship member-member Governor's Trophy tournament over Memorial Day weekend featuring 45 holes of match play over 2 days. Day 2 of Governor's featured a good Scottish cold snap of low 50s weather and a light drizzle. Glad my rain pants got more work in and happy to be in sunny Houston as I finish writing this.At Governor's you can always see the short-game comfort from the returning Florida crowd versus those that stayed north over what is typically a 4-5 month winter hiatus. I failed to take advantage of part-time Houston residency this past winter and my partner and I didn't win our flight for the first time since 2021. Five 3 puts—FIVE!!!—from yours truly in Round 2 and two more missed make-able putts in Round 3 were seven half-point giveaways we did not overcome. Based on my accounting, my partner cost us only 2 points versus my 3.5, so the disappointing performance is on me. I'll need a stricter winter routine next year.I will say the Scotland golf intensity helped stamina at Governor's. The intensity and deliberate pace of hole-by-hole match play is usually mentally and physically draining. I didn't feel that this year. For future reference: I need to play 36 more often! It forces an easier swing. It improves mental resilience. Seems better than a cold plunge.Does a high level of golf intensity make you a better energy equity analyst, advisor, or board member? For sure it does. There is no question about this. Are we advising our companies to settle for mediocrity? That an 8% return on capital is good enough? That sector average TSR is fine? Of course not.Work Hard.

In this episode, host Eklavya Gupte sits down with Marijn van Diessen, CEO of STX Group, one of the world's leading environmental commodity traders. The conversation explores Europe's strategic pivot toward domestic energy sources, the explosive growth potential of biomethane as a gas substitute, and the surge in demand for renewable certificates driven by AI data centers — alongside the challenge of creating liquid markets for products that exist only as digital attestations. Van Diessen explains both the parallels and distinctions between environmental and traditional energy trading. Like oil and gas, environmental commodities require logistics, storage and physical infrastructure. But unlike fossil fuels, they're far more sensitive to regulatory shifts — where a single policy change can trigger volatility as dramatic as any geopolitical shock.

In this episode, we sit down with Dr. Thomas Baker, Canada Research Chair in Quantum Computing for Modeling of Molecules and Materials at the University of Victoria.Together, we dive into the fundamental differences that set quantum computers apart, the interdisciplinary challenges and breakthroughs in the field, and the real-world hurdles facing quantum's transition from theory to practicality. Dr. Baker shares how creativity, flexible thinking, and collaboration across physics, chemistry, and engineering are vital to progress in quantum information science—and why learning skills like programming and public speaking still give students an edge. Whether you're a quantum enthusiast or simply curious about the future of technology, this episode offers accessible insights, advice for newcomers, and candid reflections on where this exciting discipline is headed.LinksThomas Baker on LinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/in/drbakerte/Watch on YouTube - https://youtu.be/hH8L6zKOn0cTime Stamps00:00 Explaining Quantum Computing Basics03:19 Getting into quantum computing08:19 Quantum vs Classical Algorithm Testing11:46 Quantum error correction challenges13:54 Discussing quantum computing and error correction20:23 Challenges in interdisciplinary quantum fields24:05 Comparing qubit types to fuel sources25:34 Discussing quantum computing concepts30:57 Challenges of Quantum Information PR32:05 Adapting talks to different audiences38:11 Science Meets Parliament experience38:59 Importance of Funding Quantum Science45:29 Using Julia for student projects47:09 Using Julia for easy programming50:22 Importance of typing and coding skills53:19 Discussing the Quantum Podcast

Where is Climate Tech heading? Certainly not dead — but constantly reinventing itself. So much so that you begin to wonder whether the label itself has outlived its original meaning.  Laurent and Gerard welcome Kim Zou, co-founder and CEO of Sightline Climate, the data and research platform mapping the climate-tech economy, and author of some of the sector's most influential newsletters, including CTVC and the newer Powerstack. Sightline has become essential reading for investors, utilities, corporates, and policymakers trying to understand where capital is flowing and how the energy system is evolving.  Together, they explore how Climate Tech has transformed over the past decade. Decarbonisation alone is no longer the central narrative. Today, AI, energy security, and industrial resilience dominate the conversation — often pushing sustainability itself into the background.  The discussion traces how funding has shifted from venture capital toward infrastructure and large-scale project finance. The spotlight has also moved away from “green molecules” — hydrogen, SAF, and carbon management — toward “green electrons”: virtual power plants, grid-enhancing technologies, and the race to accelerate datacentre construction.  They also examine the contrasting innovation models shaping global competition. In China, much of the breakthrough innovation happens inside corporations themselves, with companies like BYD employing more than 110,000 R&D staff, and CATL relying on a 20,000-engineer workforce. The United States, meanwhile, benefits from unparalleled access to capital and world-class universities and research centres. Europe sits somewhere in between, attempting to combine industrial policy with scientific excellence.  Finally, the conversation turns to one of Sightline's newest areas of focus: tracking data-center construction. The company currently follows 140 sites representing roughly 16 GW of announced capacity. Yet only about 6 GW are actually under construction — a reality check that has sent a chill through Wall Street.And Laurent goes on a rant of epic proportion against certain Hyperscalers!!!Useful links:Sightline website: https://www.sightlineclimate.com/Capital Stack and New Funds report: https://www.sightlineclimate.com/request-report?report-id=Dry-Powder-and-New-Funds-2026 ·        Data Center Q1 outlook report: https://www.sightlineclimate.com/request-report?report-id=data-center-outlook-q126 ·        2025 climate tech investment trends report: https://www.sightlineclimate.com/request-report?report-id=2025_investment_report ·        Article on our tour of China's electrostate: https://www.sightlineclimate.com/research/a-tour-of-chinas-electrostate ·        If people want to stay updated on our latest, they can subscribe to our CTVC climate tech newsletter here or our Powerstack power and data center markets newsletter here

What does it actually take to be a good friend — to others and to yourself? In this rich conversation, Dr. Debi sits down with award-winning filmmaker, Columbia University faculty member, and author Barnet Bain to explore the surprising truth about why so many of us struggle in friendships: we never learned how. Drawing from his course on relationships taught at Columbia and his new book How to Be a Friend in an Unfriendly World, Barnet unpacks the invisible programming we carry from childhood, the neuroscience of emotional imprinting, and the practical steps toward becoming someone who can truly show up — for others and for yourself.  Guest: Barnet Bain  Barnet Bain is an award-winning Hollywood filmmaker, author, and educator who served on the faculty at Columbia University, where he taught a master's-level course called Artistry and Personal Spirituality — a deeply relational and psychological exploration of how we connect with others. His work spans film, writing, and teaching, all rooted in a lifelong inquiry into what it means to be in authentic relationship.

We discuss everything from peptides and small molecules for mitochondrial and kidney support to the science behind improving VO2 max, brain function, sleep, and more. Jim LaValle unpacks his decades of experience, shares cutting-edge research on metabolic health, and explains the power of his Metabolic Code test—which I recently tried myself—for identifying and addressing the biggest bottlenecks in your health journey. Throughout our conversation, we swap stories about nutrition missteps (think gallons of dairy and endless antibiotics), dive into the practical application of peptides like KPV, BPC-157, and lorazotide for healing the gut, and examine trends Jim repeatedly sees even in high performers—like stress-driven hormone changes and sneaky signs of inflammation. If you’re curious about how personalized lab testing, wearable data, and smart supplementation can help you feel better, perform better, and age powerfully, you’ll love the insights in this episode.

LaValle, B.S.Pharm, CCN, MT, DHM, DHPh, is an internationally recognized clinical pharmacist, author, and board-certified clinical nutritionist, with over 40 years of clinical experience in natural products, lifestyle, drug/nutrient depletion, compounding pharmacy, and peptides.
