Singapore’s Ministry of Social and Family Development has released its Family Trends Report 2025, offering a deep dive into how families are evolving — and what that might mean for the nation’s future. While two-child households remain the norm, there’s a noticeable uptick in one-child families and a growing number of women reaching their 40s without children. At the same time, policies like paternity leave and childcare support have gained traction, and more parents are tapping into flexible work arrangements. But beyond the numbers lies a bigger question: What do these shifts mean for Singapore’s long-term population outlook? Are we simply seeing changing preferences, or are we headed for deeper demographic challenges — from low fertility to an ageing society? On The Big Story, Hongbin Jeong speaks with Dr Tan Poh Lin, Senior Research Fellow, Institute of Policy Studies, National University of Singapore, to find out more.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

The Ministry of Social and Family Development’s Family Trends Report 2025 shows that just 56% of eligible fathers in Singapore took paternity leave last year. Despite expanded policies, nearly half still forgo their full entitlement. Why? Dr Kalpana Vignehsa of the Institute of Policy Studies at the National University of Singapore joins Lynlee Foo to explore workplace culture, hidden penalties, and how to truly normalise fathers’ caregiving roles — beyond policy.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

A new study published recently as the cover of Aging Volume 17, Issue 6, describes a new method to estimate how fast the brain is aging. By analyzing lipids, or fat molecules, in brain tissue, researchers from the National University of Singapore and Hanze University of Applied Sciences created a biological “clock” called DoliClock. This innovation highlights how conditions such as autism, schizophrenia, and Down syndrome are associated with accelerated brain aging. Understanding Brain Aging As people grow older, their brains naturally change. However, in many neurological disorders, these changes seem to appear earlier and progress more rapidly. Disorders like autism, schizophrenia, and Down syndrome reduce quality of life and contribute to premature death. Scientists have long searched for better ways to measure biological age in the brain to understand these processes and develop strategies to slow them down. Most existing methods for estimating biological age rely on genetic markers, such as DNA methylation, which are chemical modifications of DNA. While useful, these approaches may not fully capture the complexity of aging, especially in the brain. Lipids, which are essential components of brain cells and play important roles in energy storage and signaling, offer another perspective.

In the wake of the recent NTU case, where students were penalised for using AI in their assignments, the question takes centre stage: embrace the tech — or ban it outright? As AI tools like ChatGPT become part of everyday student life, universities are facing a defining dilemma; is AI a threat to genuine learning, or a tool students must master to be future-ready?Are universities overreacting, or falling behind in safeguarding the value of a degree? On The Hot Seat, Hongbin Jeong speaks to Andrew Tan Yong Chuan, Co-founder of Atomi Pte Ltd. and Damien Xing, Senior Lecturer in Law at the National University of Singapore Business School, in order to find out whether a zero tolerance policy for AI is needed for the future of academia.

BUFFALO, NY — July 1, 2025 — A new #research paper, featured on the #cover of Aging (Aging-US) Volume 17, Issue 6, was #published on June 4, 2025, titled “DoliClock: a lipid-based aging clock reveals accelerated aging in neurological disorders.” This study, led by first author Djakim Latumalea from the National University of Singapore and Hanze University of Applied Sciences, with corresponding author Brian K. Kennedy from the National University of Singapore, introduces DoliClock, a biological aging clock based on lipid profiles in the human brain. The researchers found that individuals with autism, schizophrenia, and Down syndrome show signs of accelerated brain aging compared to individuals without these conditions. The discovery offers a new approach to measuring brain aging using lipid markers instead of traditional DNA-based methods. The team developed DoliClock using lipidomic data from post-mortem prefrontal cortex samples. Lipids are fat-like molecules that play a key role in brain health. Changes in lipid patterns can reflect the biological age of brain tissue. The study focused on a specific class of lipids called dolichols, which increase gradually with age. The DoliClock model was trained to predict biological age by analyzing levels of dolichols and other lipid molecules. It accurately estimated brain age and revealed higher aging rates in individuals with neurological disorders. One notable finding was a sharp increase in lipid profile variability—also known as entropy—around the age of 40. This suggests a disruption in lipid metabolism during midlife, possibly caused by changes in the mevalonate pathway, a critical biological process involved in producing lipids like cholesterol and dolichol. These disruptions may contribute to aging-related brain decline. The study also found that dolichol levels could serve as reliable biomarkers of aging. Their consistent increase with age and strong influence on DoliClock's predictions make them especially useful. In individuals with autism, schizophrenia, and Down syndrome, the clock indicated more advanced biological brain aging than expected, supporting the idea that these conditions are associated with premature aging. DoliClock offers a new perspective in aging research, complementing existing biological clocks based on DNA or protein markers. Because it relies on lipids, it may detect aspects of aging that other tools cannot. While the current model is based on brain tissue samples, future research may examine whether similar lipid patterns can be identified in more accessible fluids such as blood or cerebrospinal fluid. “These findings suggest that lipidomics can provide valuable insights into the molecular mechanisms of brain aging and neurological disorders.” This study highlights the growing potential of lipidomics in the study of aging and neurological disorders. It opens the door to new biomarkers that could help researchers and clinicians better monitor brain aging and develop more targeted interventions for age-related and neurodevelopmental diseases.

In today's episode, Sarah is sitting down and chatting with Malissa Manilla, talking about all things health, wellness, and exercise science. Dr. Melissa Manilla's passion for health and wellness began as a child, when she found reading nutrition labels to be a fun task. Her lifelong love for nutrition and wellness began her academic career, as she studied Human Nutrition and Exercise Science at The Ohio State University. During her undergraduate studies, her desire to become a physician led her to the National University of Health Sciences, where she completed her Doctor of Chiropractic degree. While in the midst of her chiropractic coursework, she still felt something was missing and found her way back to her calling of clinical nutrition. She then pursued a Master's of Human Nutrition & Functional Medicine through the University of Western States, of which she graduated with distinction. Throughout her schooling, she also found a love for acupuncture, which led her to complete over 300 hours of acupuncture coursework and certifications. With acupuncture, she can treat both musculoskeletal and internal medicine conditions. Dr. Manilla is also trained in cupping therapy as an adjunct to her care. She has various certifications and has attended numerous seminars to enhance her clinical knowledge. She has attended almost every Apex Energetics Functional Medicine seminar focusing on endocrinology, thyroid conditions, neurological health, and blood work analysis. She has spent many hours at nutrition conferences, acupuncture seminars, and functional medicine forums, giving her a specialty in internal medicine. Her passions include autoimmune diseases, infertility, thyroid ailments, gut conditions, and clinical weight control.   Her greatest passion is fertility care. After experiencing two very different and emergent pregnancy losses, she has learned personally the hardship of trying to conceive. She wants to support women in every step of this journey.    Dr. Melissa enjoys travel, always having something on the social calendar, movement of any kind, trying new restaurants, and exploring new places with her husband, Andy, and son Kai. She has two fluffy doodles named Macy and Fiona. She has travelled to over 24 countries (five completely solo travels) and is not stopping anytime soon!   Connect with Melissa: Blog: https://medium.com/@mmanilla0203/on-beginning-again-81cd74dc4d3 Website: https://www.thewellness-spaceco.com/   Connect with Sarah: IG: @sarahghekiere.nd Email: sarahghekierend@gmail.com Work with Sarah 1:1 - 50% off in exchange for feedback for a limited time: bit.ly/ITHWBH2025 Sarah's Meditations on Insight Timer: https://insighttimer.com/innertruthhealing/guided-meditations Learn More about Inner Truth Healing: innertruthhealing.us

We usually think of the land as a backdrop to human affairs. But in ancient tales, places and their creatures show up as vital characters in the story. What do hills and fields say? Streams and rivers? Geology? How do all these and other eco-presences show up in our moods, our struggles, even in our dreams? What are our homes and roads trying to tell us? During his 3-month residency at The New School, Craig Chalquist invites us all to explore how imagination has been used in many times and cultures as a path toward redemptive, transformative knowledge and new practice—and how we might engage imagination today to re-envision our relationships to ourselves and the land all around us. In this first virtual event with Craig, meet him, learn how imagination has been used in various traditions as a source of wisdom and change-making, and begin a process that will continue through June—when you can meet him in person while he is in Bolinas. To prepare for the May 29 event, bring an example of a dream with some aspect of nature in them. What about this dream inspires(d) you? How has that inspiration changed you?

Prof Danny Quah, Dean of LKY School of Public Policy at the National University of Singapore, returns to Kopi Time to share his insights on the dangers and opportunities stemming from the changing world order. We go over two of his recent pieces; first, an open letter to the US president (penned before the US elections last November, and second, a research paper on the correlation between global trade and geopolitics. Prof Quah dissects the great power rivalry through (i) the perception of win-win versus zero sum and (ii) a tendency to attribute domestic welfare shortfalls (blue collar jobs, health, education, safety) to external factors (trade, immigration, defence spending). He then points out that trade liberalisation and the politics of global engagement have gone hand in hand on the way up (say, from the 1960s to 2010) and down (the past decade and a half). We then discuss a key point—the US shying away from globalisation or green transition does not doom those dynamics. There is a huge world of trade and GDP outside the US. The world is not being swayed; rules and agreements among the rest are proceeding, with the window left open for the US to return one day. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Since the late 1990s, the multiplex in India has emerged as a dominant site of media exhibition, almost always embedded within the shopping mall. This spatial pairing has transformed the experience of moviegoing, making it impossible to inhabit one space without also passing through the other. The rise of the mall-multiplex signals a broader shift in the spectatorial imagination: away from cinema halls built for the subaltern male viewer, toward environments curated for the aspiring, mobile, and consuming middle-class woman. Projecting Desire: Media Architectures and Moviegoing in Urban India (NYU Press, 2025) tells the story of this infrastructural and cultural transformation as it unfolded across media industries, architectural design, urban planning, and popular cinema. Tracing the multiplex's evolution in post-liberalization India, Tupur Chatterjee reveals how this new built form not only reconfigured cinematic space, but also reshaped the aesthetics, publics, and gendered politics of the contemporary Indian city. Rather than narrating a linear history of technological replacement, the book situates the multiplex within a longer genealogy of postcolonial urban design—one marked by caste- and class-based anxieties around visibility, safety, and leisure. It argues that the architectural mediation of cinema is central to how desire, modernity, and risk are organised in India's media cities. Drawing on industrial and organisational ethnography, in-depth interviews, participant observation, discourse and textual analysis, and archival research, Projecting Desire maps the multiplex as a space where film, infrastructure, and aspiration intersect. In doing so, it offers a critical framework for understanding how gendered publics are produced through the infrastructures of cinematic experience in the Global South. Dr Tupur Chatterjee is an Assistant Professor in Global Film and Media in the School of English, Drama, and Film at University College Dublin. Her research spans global media industries, feminist media studies, urban spatial politics, and the material life of media technologies. Her work has been published in journals like Television and New Media, International Journal of Cultural Studies, Feminist Media Studies, South Asian Popular Culture, and Porn Studies among others.  Dr Priyam Sinha is a recipient of the Humboldt Research Award and is based at Humboldt University in Berlin. She earned her PhD from the National University of Singapore. Her research interests lie at the intersection of critical media industry studies, disability studies, gender studies, affect studies, production culture studies, and anthropology of the body. So far, her articles have been published in Media, Culture and Society; Communication, Culture and Critique; South Asian Diaspora, among others.

Tracing the multiplex's evolution in post-liberalization India, Tupur Chatterjee reveals how this new built form not only reconfigured cinematic space, but also reshaped the aesthetics, publics, and gendered politics of the contemporary Indian city. Rather than narrating a linear history of technological replacement, the book situates the multiplex within a longer genealogy of postcolonial urban design—one marked by caste- and class-based anxieties around visibility, safety, and leisure. It argues that the architectural mediation of cinema is central to how desire, modernity, and risk are organised in India's media cities. Drawing on industrial and organisational ethnography, in-depth interviews, participant observation, discourse and textual analysis, and archival research, Projecting Desire maps the multiplex as a space where film, infrastructure, and aspiration intersect. In doing so, it offers a critical framework for understanding how gendered publics are produced through the infrastructures of cinematic experience in the Global South. Dr Tupur Chatterjee is an Assistant Professor in Global Film and Media in the School of English, Drama, and Film at University College Dublin. Her research spans global media industries, feminist media studies, urban spatial politics, and the material life of media technologies. Her work has been published in journals like Television and New Media, International Journal of Cultural Studies, Feminist Media Studies, South Asian Popular Culture, and Porn Studies among others.  Dr Priyam Sinha is a recipient of the Humboldt Research Award and is based at Humboldt University in Berlin. She earned her PhD from the National University of Singapore. Her research interests lie at the intersection of critical media industry studies, disability studies, gender studies, affect studies, production culture studies, and anthropology of the body.

Since the late 1990s, the multiplex in India has emerged as a dominant site of media exhibition, almost always embedded within the shopping mall. This spatial pairing has transformed the experience of moviegoing, making it impossible to inhabit one space without also passing through the other. The rise of the mall-multiplex signals a broader shift in the spectatorial imagination: away from cinema halls built for the subaltern male viewer, toward environments curated for the aspiring, mobile, and consuming middle-class woman.

On behalf of Taiwan in the Indo-Pacific Region and its National Security Task Force the Hoover Institution held a Taiwan Roundtable Discussion on Tuesday, February 18, 2025, from 5:00 - 6:00 pm PT. Taiwan is facing a potential constitutional crisis. In December 2024, Taiwan's opposition-controlled legislature voted to impose a 2/3 supermajority quorum for the Constitutional Court to hear new cases. The legislature then voted down all the new nominees to the Court, leaving it with only 8 of members and unable to meet the new quorum requirement. The government has appealed to the Court to meet anyway and rule that the new amendments are unconstitutional. In this discussion, three experts on Taiwan's politics and judicial system discuss the factors leading up to this confrontation, the options facing the court, and the potential for deeper reforms to strengthen judicial independence in the face of a deepening confrontation between the ruling and opposition parties.

https://eggshelltherapy.com/podcast-blog/2025/04/30/brianearp/In this episode, we discuss- Dr. Brian Earp's prolific academic work in philosophy, psychology, and medical ethics.- how his conservative religious upbringing sparked his curiosity about morality and ethics.- his transition from professional theater to academia and his commitment to a PhD at age 30.- his research on love, obsession, and addiction, and his critique of monogamy as a societal default.- his book Love Drugs and the ethics of using medical technologies to enhance relationships.- ethical challenges in AI, his stance on bodily autonomy.- his current projects on AI, personalized digital tools, and more! Some Quotes from Dr. Earp “Whether it's harmful can be kind of contingent on historical and social attitudes.”“If you think love is about fundamentally wanting to contribute to the flourishing of another person… then the question of whether you should possess them… might not be conducive to their flourishing.” “We should advocate for a view of love according to which it's something that is rooted fundamentally in care and respect.”“Addiction can be part of one's identity… if you cure yourself of this addiction, you almost change who you are.”About Dr. Brian Earp Associate Professor Brian D. Earp, PhD, is director of the Oxford-NUS Centre for Neuroethics and Society (OCNS) and the EARP Lab (Experimental Bioethics, Artificial Intelligence, and Relational Moral Psychology Lab) within the Centre for Biomedical Ethics, Yong Loo Lin School of Medicine, National University of Singapore (NUS).

Rosemary Gladstar was the very first person I interviewed for this podcast nearly four years ago, and it was truly an honor to be able to have her on the show again. She is such a presence in the world, having brought so much love and wisdom to the herbal community for decades. Rosemary's work has inspired many thousands (at least!) of budding and experienced herbalists, and I am so incredibly grateful for every moment I get to spend with her.Rosemary discussed a variety of topics in this interview, but there was one major thread that wove its way through our conversation: the beauty and power of diversity, whether that's diversity in an ecosystem, in a group of people, or even in the thoughts and ideas that guide us on our journey through the world. She shared about many of the people, places, and plants that have influenced her path, and how sometimes the most challenging of situations have often been her biggest teachers.By the end of this episode, you'll know:► What inspired Rosemary to write her new book, The Generosity of Plants – and why she continues to be inspired by its contents► Why Rosemary finds such value in being challenged by different viewpoints► How the art of herbal formulation can be used as a model for community and collaboration among people► Why connection, relationship, love, and adventure make such strong medicine► and so much more…For those of you who don't know her, Rosemary Gladstar has been practicing, living, learning, teaching and writing about herbs for over 45 years. She's the author of 13 books, including her latest book, The Generosity of Plants. She's also the author and director of the popular home study course, The Science and Art of Herbalism.In 2018, Rosemary was awarded an honorary doctorate for her life work from the National University of Naturopathic Medicine.
