Last week, we hosted a Sea Change live event at the New Orleans Jazz Museum. We wanted to talk about the science behind the massive land loss crisis we are experiencing, what it means to live in a vanishing landscape, and importantly, what we can do about it. But this is New Orleans, so we also wanted to celebrate! Celebrate the culture and joy of living in this special place. And while we can't share food through the airwaves, we can share music. Join us for an incredible concert and conversation with musicians and scientists about the future of Louisiana's coast.This episode was hosted by Carlyle Calhoun and Eva Tesfaye. We'd like to thank the New Orleans Jazz Museum for hosting us for this great event and the Bywater Bakery for providing everyone with delicious food. And thank you to our amazing guests: Louis Michot, Tommy Michot, Cocoa Creppel, and Sam Bentley. Sea Change's sound designer is Emily Jankowski, and our theme music is by Jon Batiste.

A new study published in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences (PNAS) warns that when we experience the next Cascadia subduction zone earthquake, land near the coast may rise or fall significantly over a short period of time—think +/-5 feet in five minutes. If it falls, it could significantly expose new parts of our coast to sea level rise and coastal flooding. Check out the coverage from the Lost Coast Outpost or read the study yourself.Dr. Jay Patton of the California Geological Survey joins the show to discuss why land may suddenly jump or fall, the archeological evidence of past earthquake-driven subsidence, and the consequences of such a sudden shift. Want to be prepared for the big one?

We make a countless number of decisions every day – but unfortunately, we often choose unwisely. Behavioral economist Richard Thaler has dedicated his life's work to understanding why that is. In 2017, Thaler received the Nobel Memorial Prize in Economic Sciences for his contributions to the field of behavioral economics. His book, “Nudge,” co-authored by Cass R. Sunstein, shows that it's not possible for choices to be presented to us in a neutral way. The book demonstrates how to best nudge us in the right directions, without restricting our freedom of choice. Richard Thaler is a professor of behavioral science and economics at the University of Chicago Booth School of Business. He's a member of the National Academy of Science and the American Academy of Arts and Sciences. He's been published in many prominent journals, and he's also the author of “Misbehaving: The Making of Behavioral Economics.” Originally published in December 2021.

Millions of years ago, iguanas somehow got from North America to Fiji. Scientists think they made the trip on a raft of fallen vegetation. Also, the marine reptile's fossilized fetus is cluing paleontologists into the lives of ancient sea creatures.Ancient Iguanas Floated 5,000 Miles Across The PacificIf you picture iguanas, you might imagine them sunbathing on hot sand in the Caribbean or skittering around the Mojave Desert. But far, far away from where these iguanas are found is another group of iguanas living on the islands of Fiji and Tonga in the South Pacific—closer to New Zealand than the Americas. And it raises the question: How in the world did these iguanas end up all alone, on the other side of the ocean? In a study published in Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences in March, scientists suggest that millions of years ago, iguanas hitched a ride on a raft and accidentally sailed all the way across the ocean before washing ashore and starting a new life. Host Flora Lichtman discusses the iguanas' intrepid adventure with lead author Dr. Simon Scarpetta, evolutionary biologist and assistant professor at the University of San Francisco in California.Meet Fiona, The Pregnant Icthyosaur FossilIn the Patagonia region of Chile, Torres del Paine National Park is a graveyard of ichthyosaurs—ancient, dolphin-like reptiles that roamed the oceans when dinosaurs dominated the land. Nearly 90 of these giant reptiles' fossils have been found amongst the glaciers. But the standout in the bone heap is Fiona, an ichthyosaur that lived 131 million years ago. She's in pristine condition, the only fully preserved ichthyosaur in Chile. And, she died pregnant. She's teaching paleontologists about the evolution of her species. And some of those findings were recently published in the Journal of Vertebrate Paleontology. Host Flora Lichtman talks with lead author Dr. Judith Pardo-Pérez, paleontologist at the University of Magallanes in Chile.Transcripts for each segment will be available after the show airs on sciencefriday.com.

Medical science is advancing at an astonishing rate. Today we talk with leading expert Eric Topol about two aspects of this story. First, the use of artificial intelligence in medicine, especially in diagnostics. This is an area that is a perfect match between an important question and the capabilities of machine learning, to the point where AI can out-perform human doctors. And second, our understanding of aging and what to do about it. Eric even gives some actionable advice on how to live more healthily into our golden years.Blog post with transcript: https://www.preposterousuniverse.com/podcast/2025/05/05/episode-313-eric-topol-on-the-changing-face-of-medicine-and-aging/Support Mindscape on Patreon.Eric Topol received and M.D. from the University of Rochester.

In this episode, we speak with Dr. Charles H.F. Davis III about the increasingly repressive conditions on university campuses, particularly in the context of Columbia University's caving in to federal pressures under the thumb of Trump's administration. We explore the broader implications of these concessions at the expense of liberalized notions of intellectual and academic freedom, student activism, and the role of universities as sites of political struggle. Dr. Davis highlights the historical and ongoing repression of student activism, particularly pro-Palestinian movements, and critiques the legal and institutional frameworks that perpetuate these violences. We also delve into the limitations of liberalism in fending off fascist infringement and the active participation of universities in maintaining these structures of domination. We also touch on the historical collaboration between Zionist organizations and U.S. universities, the erosion of diversity and inclusion initiatives, and the broader implications for the future of higher education. Dr. Charles H.F. Davis III is a third-generation educator, organizer, and artist. He is a faculty member in the Center for the Study of Higher and Postsecondary Education and director of the Campus Abolition Research Lab at the University of Michigan. His research and teaching broadly explore the racialized consequences of higher education on society, including the role of colleges and universities in limiting the life-making possibilities of Black and other racialized communities.

North Bay activists call for boycott of Avelo Airlines as it plans for ICE deportation flights Avelo Airlines previously announced it would operate deportation charter flights for the Department of Homeland Security. This sparked protests against the airline at Charles M. Schulz Sonoma County Airport in California, at Daytona Beach International Airport in Florida, and near Wilmington Airport in Delaware. Avelo Airlines generates profit by leveraging its ultra-low-cost carrier model. Key strategies include low operating costs, ancillary revenue, efficient fleet utilization, use of secondary airports, and lean staffing. Avelo's Cost per Available Seat Mile (CASM), excluding fuel, is only 6.6 cents. CASM = Total Operating Costs / Available Seat Miles (ASM)  ASM is the number of available seats times the distance flown.  Typical CASM for different airline business models: 6-8 cents for ULCC 8-10 cents for LCC 13-17 cents for legacy carriers Electra raises $115m for ultra-short take-off and landing aircraft Electra.aero is developing the eight-engine hybrid-electric EL9 Ultra Short, a 9-passenger, high-wing aircraft.

Chris and Cristina chat with Dr. Ian Wallace, an Assistant Professor of Anthropology at the University of New Mexico, where he is the director of the Human Physical Activity Lab. As an Evolutionary Anthropologist, Ian's work focuses on how humans evolved to use their bodies and explores the costs and benefits of modern physical activity patterns for our health. He is particularly interested in populations transitioning from non-industrial to industrial and post-industrial contexts. Ian earned his Ph.D. in Anthropology in 2013 from Stony Brook University, where his dissertation examined how physical activity and genetics determine limb bone structure. Following graduate school and an initial postdoctoral position at Stony Brook, he completed his postdoctoral training in the Department of Human Evolutionary Biology at Harvard and started his own lab at UNM. There, he focuses on measures of locomotor biomechanics and their ties to the health and function of the musculoskeletal system. Recently, his fieldwork has focused on the Indigenous peoples of Peninsular Malaysia. In particular, he is interested in how their lifestyles are changing with the rapid expansion of industries, the market economy, and urban areas across Malaysia, as well as how these changes affect their health and risk of disease. ------------------------------ Find the papers discussed in this episode: Wallace, I.

Quand on pense à la vie à la Préhistoire, on imagine souvent une existence brutale, courte, marquée par la chasse, les maladies et les dangers constants. Mais quelle était réellement l'espérance de vie des hommes préhistoriques ? Spoiler : c'est plus nuancé qu'on le croit.Selon une étude publiée en 2007 dans Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences par Rachel Caspari et Sang-Hee Lee, les populations humaines ont connu une augmentation progressive de la longévité à partir du Paléolithique supérieur, il y a environ 30.000 ans. Les chercheurs ont analysé des crânes fossiles et ont constaté qu'au fil du temps, le nombre d'adultes âgés augmentait dans les populations humaines, signe d'une meilleure survie à l'âge adulte.Mais avant d'aller plus loin, précisons un point important : l'espérance de vie à la naissance est une moyenne, très influencée par la mortalité infantile. Chez les Homo sapiens du Paléolithique, elle était estimée entre 25 et 35 ans. Cela ne signifie pas que tous mouraient à 30 ans ! Cela veut plutôt dire qu'un grand nombre d'enfants mouraient avant 5 ans. Ceux qui atteignaient l'âge adulte pouvaient vivre jusque 50 ou même 60 ans, comme l'indiquent plusieurs restes squelettiques.Des travaux publiés en 2011 dans Nature par le paléoanthropologue Erik Trinkaus ont montré, en étudiant les fossiles de Néandertaliens et d'Homo sapiens, que la proportion d'individus âgés était assez comparable dans certaines régions au Paléolithique. Cela suggère que la survie à un âge avancé n'était pas aussi rare qu'on le croyait.Autre point crucial : le mode de vie. Les chasseurs-cueilleurs vivaient dans des groupes mobiles, exposés aux blessures, aux infections, mais aussi à des régimes alimentaires variés. Ce mode de vie, bien que difficile, pouvait parfois être plus sain que celui des premières sociétés agricoles, où la sédentarité, la promiscuité et la dépendance à une seule source alimentaire entraînaient malnutrition et maladies.Aujourd'hui encore, certaines sociétés de chasseurs-cueilleurs comme les Hadza en Tanzanie ou les Tsimané en Bolivie montrent que, malgré l'absence de médecine moderne, des individus peuvent atteindre 60 ou 70 ans si l'enfance est bien passée.En résumé, l'homme préhistorique n'était pas condamné à mourir jeune.

Applying neuroscience and psychology to education and formation, pioneering researcher Dr. Mary Helen Immordino-Yang draws connections between emotions, relationships, brains, stories, meaning, and purpose to shed light on how we learn, grow, and thrive.Her research on the brain shows how we're woven together in an intricate and glorious network of life, and when we synthesize the neurological, the psychological, the physical, and the social, we're able to come to a deeper and more impactful understanding of human development and flourishing.From the intricacies of adolescent brain development to the emotional and spiritual scaffolding of a meaningful life, she explains how transcendent thinking, story, and emotional engagement fuel identity formation and long-term flourishing. Drawing from cutting-edge research and humanistic insight, she explores how young people co-create their worlds and how adults can support them in becoming adaptive, wise, and agentic.In this conversation with Mary Helen Immordino-Yang, we discuss:The value of integrating neuroscience with educational, emotional, and moral developmentThe strange and glorious case of the adolescent brain—how we mature, learn how to think, feel, and exercise our agency, and strive to become wiseThe emotional and relational nature of education and moral development—expressed in nurturing conversation between caring adults and youthThe importance of agency, intentionality, and transcendent thinking in human thrivingNeural plasticity and the capacity to change our brains throughout our lifespanAnd, the big picture of thriving, that brings together our mental life, neurobiology, and other physical processes—with relationships, community, and society at large.Episode Highlights"Thriving is really about living like you mean it.""We co-construct one another's lived experiences by the virtue of being there together.""You learn how to have an instinct—it's not something you're just born with.""Transcendent thinking literally grows the adolescent brain.""Meaning-making is an abstraction, a transcendent story we construct to bring coherence to our lives."Show NotesThriving as dynamic, purposeful engagementEmotional experiences shaping brain developmentCo-construction of identity in social relationshipsAdolescence as a time of neurodevelopmental remodelingHow transcendent thinking fosters brain growth over timeAdolescents' drive for deeper moral and ethical narrativesMeaning-making as a tool for personal and societal transformationLinking personal experience with historical and social narrativesDefault mode network and its role in reflection and creativityFrom instinct to insight—how the brain learns to feelThe relationship between emotional health and physical well-beingGut-brain connection, serotonin, and embodied cognitionTranscendence as a cognitive-emotional developmental milestoneInfluence of media, anxiety, and political division on adolescent mindsBrain-based evidence of narrative engagement growing identityLearning to align present feelings with long-term purposeBrain science dismantling the myth of "subjective = unimportant"Agency, presence, and intentionality in thrivingIntegration of neuroscience with humanistic and applied methodsRole of narrative in therapy, art, education, and spiritualityHow adolescents learn to feel, not just what to thinkCulturally-rooted belief systems shaping neural responsesThe importance of reflection, introspection, and deep conversationAdolescents' innate capacity for moral concern and big-picture thinkingLearning through story: case studies in adolescent empathyReclaiming agency from external cultural and tech influencesIdentity as a lifelong, evolving narrative—not a fixed outcomeGrowth as intentional reflection, not cognitive accelerationSpiritual wellness as iterative construction of meaning and valuesParenting and mentoring for deep reflective growthAdaptive wisdom: balancing immediacy with long-term visionSigns of flourishing: self-liking, relationship quality, agencyImportance of diverse experiences and safe, supportive relationshipsAdults thriving through neuroplasticity and meaning-makingThe lifelong role of story and belief in shaping purposeCognitive engagement and values-based direction over passive successEmotional safety and time as prerequisites for transcendenceListening, asking why, and welcoming the unknown as virtues of thrivingPam King's Key TakeawaysBrain science isn't better or worse than other perspectives on human life, but it offers incredible insight for how we grow and thrive.Stories and narratives are the essential threads that hold our lives together; how you think and the story you're telling yourself matters for your thriving.Education isn't just a cognitive process. Our emotions and our bodies and our sense of connection and safety in relationships play a central role in learning.Spiritual health connects how our transcendent thinking informs our identity and how we live in reciprocity with the world beyond ourselvesThriving involves an agile agency that helps us live with skill and intentionality—so “live like you mean it.”About Mary Helen Immordino-YangMary Helen Immordino-Yang is the Fahmy and Donna Attallah Professor of Humanistic Psychology at the University of Southern California.

Episode 752: Inside National Academy: A Conversation with Jeff Lifgren by PSIA-AASI First Chair Podcast

Greetings and welcome back to another great episode of The Todd Durkin IMPACT Show—and today, I've got something REALLY special for you. I recently wrapped up two incredible days at the NASM HQ (that's the National Academy of Sports Medicine) in Gilbert, Arizona. Not only did I deliver TWO (2) keynotes to their team of 100+ passionate fitness professionals & executives, but I also sat down with three (3) of NASM's top leaders for a powerful series of convos that I had to bring straight to YOU today. This episode is all about coaching, leadership, mindset, and the FUTURE of the fitness industry. I hope you are ready to dive in…   In This Episode, You'll Learn: Mindset Coaching with TD (Opening Segment): Why relationships > resumes—and how to deepen the ones that matter most. How perfection is killing your momentum—and what to do about it. The power of vision as your anchor—not just for 2025, but for the next decade of your life and business. Behind-the-scenes look at how we're using vision boards at TDE & Impact X—and why YOU should too. On Location at NASM HQ (Gilbert, AZ): I sat down with three (3) NASM leaders to talk shop, drop fire, and share the future of coaching with you.   Guest #1: Tony Ambler-Wright – Product Manager, NASM What NASM-1 (aka N1 Membership) is—and how it supports 40,000+ trainers every year. Why the biggest opportunity in fitness is actually in career sustainability, not just certification. The rise of high school and midlife career changers entering the industry—and how NASM is equipping them. Guest #2: Mike Fantigrassi – Head of Product, NASM The BIGGEST trends shaping the fitness world in 2025: longevity, biohacking, GLP-1s, wellness coaching. How NASM is teaching trainers to safely and effectively coach clients on weight loss meds like Ozempic. The shift toward behavior change, motivational interviewing, and building deeper client relationships. Why 40% of NASM course buyers are using them for personal growth, not just careers. Guest #3: David Van Daff (aka D.V.D.) – VP, Industry Development & Public Affairs A powerful recap of my keynote to NASM's full team. What it really means to lead at work, at home, and within your community. How to develop leaders in your business (and why it's the fastest path to growth). Setting guardrails around your schedule, energy, and relationships to avoid burnout. Why trainers MUST learn sales, communication, and business development to stay in the game long-term. And the one thing every coach needs to remember: “Never underestimate the power of ONE.”   Big Takeaways from this episode: Today's trainer needs to be more than just physically fit—they need to be a leader, a life coach, a business builder, and a trusted guide. The fitness industry isn't shrinking—it's EXPANDING. But only those who evolve will thrive. Success today is about alignment of your vision, your habits, and your community. If you're a trainer, coach, or leader who's fired up to create IMPACT—do me a favor.

After being sworn in as the 47th president, President Donald Trump quickly altered American government – and political discourse. He issued a slew of executive orders that affected how American government functions and he spoke about officers of the government, federal agencies, executive power, the press, the Constitution, and the rule of law in ways that surprised citizens, journalists, and many scholars. Postscript has devoted three podcasts to how professional historians have assessed Trump's actions. Today, we look at how political scientists understand the second Trump presidency and how they have organized to amplify their concerns. Over 1200 trained political scientists signed a statement that lays out alarming changes to American government – and today's podcast features the incoming president of the American Political Science Association, Dr. Susan Stokes, to discuss the statement and what it means for so many political scientists to sign it. With her forthcoming book, The Backsliders: Why Leaders Undermine Their Own Democracies (Princeton University Press), Sue Stokes is the perfect person to assess democratic erosion and autocracy. Our conversation provides insights into the state of American politics, resources for people who want to oppose democratic erosion, and particular suggestions for teachers – and sneak peak into her new book. Dr. Susan Stokes is the Tiffany and Margaret Blake Distinguished Service Professor of political science and Director of the Chicago Center on Democracy at The University of Chicago. She is a member of the National Academy of Sciences and the American Academy of Arts and Sciences. She is co-director of Bright Line Watch, a group of political scientists who monitor democratic practices, their resilience, and potential threats. Dr. Stokes has spent her career unpacking how democracy functions in developing societies, distributive politics, and comparative political behavior. Her books include Brokers, Voters, and Clientelism: The Puzzle of Distributive Politics (Cambridge, 2013), and Why Bother? Rethinking Participation in Elections and Protests, co-authored with S. Erdem Aytaç (Cambridge, 2019).

Quand on pense à la vie à la Préhistoire, on imagine souvent une existence brutale, courte, marquée par la chasse, les maladies et les dangers constants. Mais quelle était réellement l'espérance de vie des hommes préhistoriques ? Spoiler : c'est plus nuancé qu'on le croit.Selon une étude publiée en 2007 dans Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences par Rachel Caspari et Sang-Hee Lee, les populations humaines ont connu une augmentation progressive de la longévité à partir du Paléolithique supérieur, il y a environ 30.000 ans. Les chercheurs ont analysé des crânes fossiles et ont constaté qu'au fil du temps, le nombre d'adultes âgés augmentait dans les populations humaines, signe d'une meilleure survie à l'âge adulte.Mais avant d'aller plus loin, précisons un point important : l'espérance de vie à la naissance est une moyenne, très influencée par la mortalité infantile. Chez les Homo sapiens du Paléolithique, elle était estimée entre 25 et 35 ans. Cela ne signifie pas que tous mouraient à 30 ans ! Cela veut plutôt dire qu'un grand nombre d'enfants mouraient avant 5 ans. Ceux qui atteignaient l'âge adulte pouvaient vivre jusque 50 ou même 60 ans, comme l'indiquent plusieurs restes squelettiques.Des travaux publiés en 2011 dans Nature par le paléoanthropologue Erik Trinkaus ont montré, en étudiant les fossiles de Néandertaliens et d'Homo sapiens, que la proportion d'individus âgés était assez comparable dans certaines régions au Paléolithique. Cela suggère que la survie à un âge avancé n'était pas aussi rare qu'on le croyait.Autre point crucial : le mode de vie. Les chasseurs-cueilleurs vivaient dans des groupes mobiles, exposés aux blessures, aux infections, mais aussi à des régimes alimentaires variés. Ce mode de vie, bien que difficile, pouvait parfois être plus sain que celui des premières sociétés agricoles, où la sédentarité, la promiscuité et la dépendance à une seule source alimentaire entraînaient malnutrition et maladies.Aujourd'hui encore, certaines sociétés de chasseurs-cueilleurs comme les Hadza en Tanzanie ou les Tsimané en Bolivie montrent que, malgré l'absence de médecine moderne, des individus peuvent atteindre 60 ou 70 ans si l'enfance est bien passée.En résumé, l'homme préhistorique n'était pas condamné à mourir jeune. La forte mortalité infantile tirait l'espérance de vie vers le bas, mais ceux qui passaient les premières années pouvaient vivre étonnamment longtemps. Alors non, nos ancêtres n'étaient pas tous des vieillards à 30 ans… bien au contraire ! Hébergé par Acast. Visitez acast.com/privacy pour plus d'informations.

On a longtemps pensé que le vieillissement du cerveau était un processus progressif et linéaire. Pourtant, une étude publiée en 2022 dans la revue scientifique PNAS — Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences — révèle une réalité bien différente : le cerveau ne vieillirait pas de façon continue, mais par à-coups, avec un tournant brutal autour de 44 ans.Cette étude, menée par des chercheurs allemands et britanniques, s'appuie sur l'analyse de données d'imagerie cérébrale provenant de plus de 4 000 personnes âgées de 18 à 88 ans. En se basant sur une technique appelée « connectomique », les scientifiques ont cartographié les réseaux de communication entre différentes régions du cerveau. Leur objectif : comprendre comment ces connexions évoluent avec l'âge.Leur découverte principale est frappante : vers 44 ans, la structure du cerveau connaît une réorganisation brutale. C'est un peu comme si, à cet âge, les lignes de communication dans le cerveau étaient redirigées, certains circuits étant désactivés tandis que d'autres deviennent plus actifs. Ce basculement marque le début d'un déclin dans la rapidité et l'efficacité des échanges neuronaux. Concrètement, cela pourrait expliquer pourquoi, passé la quarantaine, certaines fonctions cognitives — comme la mémoire de travail, la vitesse de traitement ou la concentration — commencent à diminuer plus visiblement.Mais attention : ce n'est pas une fatalité. Ce changement ne signifie pas une dégénérescence irréversible, ni une perte de capacités immédiate. Il s'agit plutôt d'un tournant neurologique : le cerveau devient un peu moins plastique, un peu moins efficace dans sa manière de traiter et de transmettre l'information.Fait intéressant, l'étude montre aussi que toutes les régions du cerveau ne sont pas touchées de la même manière. Les zones les plus affectées sont celles impliquées dans des fonctions dites "supérieures", comme le raisonnement, le langage ou la prise de décision. En revanche, les zones sensorielles et motrices restent relativement stables plus longtemps.Ces résultats ont des implications majeures. D'abord, ils nous rappellent l'importance de préserver la santé du cerveau dès la quarantaine — voire avant — par une alimentation équilibrée, une activité physique régulière, un bon sommeil et une stimulation intellectuelle continue.En somme, selon cette étude parue dans PNAS, le cerveau humain pourrait connaître un tournant critique vers 44 ans. Un moment charnière, non pas pour s'alarmer, mais pour agir, en adoptant des habitudes qui favorisent un vieillissement cérébral en douceur. Hébergé par Acast.

Like much of coastal Louisiana, Isle de Jean Charles is rapidly disappearing into the Gulf because of coastal erosion and sea level rise. Scientists predict the island will be completely underwater by 2050.Almost a decade ago, the federal government awarded the state of Louisiana $48 million dollar to resettle members of the Jean Charles Choctaw Nation from Isle de Jean Charles. This was the first project of its kind and initially, it was held up as a model for how to move communities at risk out of harm's way.But journalist Olga Loginova's deep reporting unveils a different story. Having read thousands of pages in public records, and after interviewing dozens of people involved in the project - from federal and state officials to tribal leaders, Island residents, and researchers - Olga investigates the question: What went so wrong?The new series Leaving the Island explores this question, as well as a larger one Sea Change will continue to report on this season: What happens when to survive, you have to leave the only home you've ever known?Click right here to listen to the next two episodes in the three-part series Leaving the Island, or find the series wherever you get your podcasts. This episode was reported by Olga Loginova.

Une étude récente met en lumière l'impact significatif de la pollution au plomb générée par l'Empire romain sur la santé cognitive des populations européennes de l'Antiquité. Cette recherche, publiée dans la revue Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences (PNAS), révèle que les émissions massives de plomb, principalement issues des activités minières et métallurgiques, ont probablement entraîné une diminution moyenne de 2,5 à 3 points du quotient intellectuel (QI) des habitants de l'époque.​Méthodologie de l'étudeLes chercheurs ont analysé des carottes de glace prélevées dans l'Arctique, qui conservent des traces des polluants atmosphériques anciens. Ces échantillons permettent de reconstituer avec précision les variations des concentrations de plomb dans l'atmosphère au fil du temps. Les résultats indiquent que la pollution au plomb a atteint son apogée à la fin du IIᵉ siècle avant J.-C., période correspondant à l'apogée de la République romaine. Une diminution notable est observée au Iᵉʳ siècle avant J.-C., durant la crise de la République, suivie d'une nouvelle augmentation vers 15 avant J.-C., avec l'avènement de l'Empire romain. Cette pollution est restée élevée jusqu'à la peste antonine (165-180 après J.-C.), qui a gravement affecté l'Empire. ​Sources de la pollution au plombL'extraction de l'argent, essentielle pour la production monétaire romaine, était la principale source de cette pollution. Pour obtenir de l'argent, les Romains fondaient de grandes quantités de galène, un minerai riche en plomb. Ce processus libérait d'importantes quantités de plomb dans l'atmosphère. On estime qu'au cours des deux siècles d'apogée de l'Empire, plus de 500 000 tonnes de plomb ont été émises. Conséquences sur la santé publiqueL'exposition chronique au plomb est connue pour ses effets délétères sur la santé, notamment sur le développement cognitif. Chez les enfants, même de faibles niveaux d'exposition sont associés à une diminution du QI, des troubles de l'attention et une baisse des performances scolaires. Chez les adultes, le plomb peut provoquer de l'anémie, des troubles neurologiques, des maladies cardiovasculaires et augmenter le risque de cancer. ​Impact démographique et sociétalLes chercheurs suggèrent que cette pollution au plomb a pu contribuer à affaiblir la population romaine, la rendant plus vulnérable aux épidémies, notamment lors de la peste antonine. Cette épidémie aurait causé la mort de 5 à 10 millions de personnes, exacerbant les difficultés de l'Empire. ​ConclusionCette étude souligne que la pollution industrielle n'est pas un phénomène exclusivement moderne. Dès l'Antiquité, les activités humaines ont eu des impacts environnementaux et sanitaires significatifs. Les recherches futures pourraient approfondir la compréhension des interactions entre pollution ancienne et dynamiques sociétales, offrant ainsi des perspectives sur les défis environnementaux contemporains.

If you're a founder doing at least $3M/year in sales, check out Hampton: https://www.joinhampton.com/.There is no amount of money that will make you happy. There is also no amount that will stop making you more happy. Both of those things are true.Our producer is not rich. But she has talked to 100+ people who are, and she (I) has learned a lot about your kind (is that wrong to say?).In the Moneywise pilot, we asked the question “at what point will more money stop making you happy”. Turns out, that was a pretty stupid question. So in this episode, we're fixing that.This is an episode of Moneywise unlike any other. This is a solo essay-style inside-outsider's take on wealth and happiness, based on the past year of peaking behind the curtain at what truly makes millionaires lives better… and worse. Backed up by quotes from our guests and of course, real studies.Here's what we talk about:Money doesn't make you happy. It can only remove stress.The “happiness number” is a myth but knowing your “freedom number” changes everything.Most people don't want money, they want the freedom they think money will give them.Hitting your financial goal won't feel like you imagined.Founders often feel lost post-exit because they unknowingly traded hope for cash.Wealth adds new stress.Money can't buy you meaningful experiences, and you need to stop thinking it can.If you expect money to do the emotional heavy lifting in your life, you will never be satisfied.Money is the key, not the door. It unlocks your potential but it won't add anything more to your life.Cool Links:Hampton https://www.joinhampton.com/Lower Street https://www.lowerstreet.co/Chapters:(00:00) Introduction and Confession(00:35) Reflecting on 50 Episodes(02:24) Revisiting the Happiness Threshold(03:09) Money as a Subtractive Tool(03:48) The Freedom Number vs. Happiness(05:07) Studies and Research on Wealth and Happiness(14:39) The Hedonic Treadmill and Wealth's Paradox(17:45) Hope and the Entrepreneur's Journey(25:26) Concluding Thoughts and Freedom NumbersThis podcast is a ridiculous concept: high-net-worth people reveal their personal finances.Inspired by real conversations happening in the Hampton community.You Host - Jackie LamportNot really the host, but the producer.Wrote this sentence.Older than I appear, I promise.References:Kahneman, D., & Deaton, A.

Cosmologists were, let us be honest, pretty stunned in 1998 when observations revealed that the universe is accelerating. There was an obvious plausible explanation, the cosmological constant proposed by Einstein, which is equivalent to a constant vacuum energy pervading space. But the cosmological constant was known to be enormously smaller than its "natural" value, and it seems fine-tuned for it to be so small but not yet zero. Once burned, twice shy, and since then we have been looking for evidence that the dark energy might not be strictly constant, even though that's even more fine-tuned. We talk to cosmologist Marc Kamionkowski about recent evidence that dark energy might be changing with time, and what this might have to do with the Hubble tension and other cosmic anomalies.Blog post with transcript: https://www.preposterousuniverse.com/podcast/2025/03/31/310-marc-kamionkowski-on-dark-energy-and-cosmic-anomalies/Support Mindscape on Patreon.Marc Kamionkowski received his Ph.D. in physics from the University of Chicago.

Guest: Zac Bookman, CEO and Co-Founder of OpenGovThirteen years after co-founding the government transparency startup OpenGov, Zac Bookman is still finding ways to surprise people. In 2023, Cox Enterprises bought the company for $1.8 billion — but as far as Zac is concerned, “we're just getting started.”“ I left the vast majority of my net worth in the company,” he says. “So I'm a believer. I'm all in.”The mission of powering “more effective and accountable government” has been stable since OpenGov's earliest days, and that mission has informed everything from hiring to M&A to the decision to sell. “These people buy and don't sell,” Zac said of Cox. “They're all in on the mission. And they're all in on taking care of employees. So I see a triple win: A win for employees, win for the investors, win for the customers, maybe a quadruple win for me and the management.”Chapters:(01:46) - OpenGov's mission (04:34) - Shrinking the product-market fit (07:34) - Super misson driven (08:59) - Why OpenGov almost shut down (13:08) - Zac's early career (16:16) - Picking (and losing) a CTO (22:50) - Growing upside-down (25:29) - The SPAC backstabber (31:26) - Why Zac didn't get fired (33:24) - Selling in 2024 (37:04) - Growth by acquisition (42:31) - John Chambers and PMF (49:32) - Zac's cross-country bike ride (56:25) - Expectations vs. reality (58:57) - The coup attempt (01:01:59) - Tiring work (01:05:47) - Going to the White House (01:09:40) - DOGE & disrespect (01:12:54) - “We're just getting started” (01:14:18) - Who OpenGov is hiring (and where) (01:15:13) - What “grit” means to Zac Mentioned in this episode: Joe Lonsdale, Cox Enterprises, OpenAI, the Department of Government Efficiency, Workday, H.R.
