This week I'll explore the social history of the cannabis plant including its use since ancient times as a fiber, medicine, and for its psychoactive properties both ritualistically and recreationally. I'll explore how cannabis first made its way to the Americas and how it became a main crop of colonial planters that they were actually required by law to grow. I'll explore it's use in 19th century American medicines and do some digging to find out why it came to be banned in 1937 following an influx of Mexican immigrants who brought recreational use of "locoweed" or "marijuana" with them.

The Hoover Institution Program on the US, China, and the World held Critical Issues in the US-China Science and Technology Relationship on Thursday, November 7th, 2024 from 4:00 pm - 5:30 pm PT at the Annenberg Conference Room, George P. Shultz Building.  Both the United States and the People's Republic of China see sustaining leadership in science and technology (S+T) as foundational to national and economic security. Policymakers on both sides of the Pacific have taken action to promote indigenous innovation, and to protect S+T ecosystems from misappropriation of research and malign technology transfer. In the US, some of these steps, including the China Initiative, have led to pain, mistrust, and a climate of fear, particularly for students and scholars of and from China. Newer efforts, including research security programs and policies, seek to learn from these mistakes. A distinguished panel of scientists and China scholars discuss these dynamics and their implications. What are the issues facing US-China science and technology collaboration? What are the current challenges confronting Chinese American scientists? How should we foster scientific ecosystems that are inclusive, resilient to security challenges, and aligned with democratic values?  Featuring Zhenan Bao is the K.K. Lee Professor of Chemical Engineering, and by courtesy, a Professor of Chemistry and a Professor of Material Science and Engineering at Stanford University. Bao directs the Stanford Wearable Electronics Initiate (eWEAR). Prior to joining Stanford in 2004, she was a Distinguished Member of Technical Staff in Bell Labs, Lucent Technologies from 1995-2004.

It found that frack water in the Marcellus shale in Pennsylvania had high concentrations of lithium. The original paper can be found here. The research found that the concentrations of lithium in Pennsylvania shale frac water might be able to meet up to 40% of the US domestic demand for lithium. This is a huge and unexpected finding. ------------ **Real Estate Espresso Podcast:** Spotify: [The Real Estate Espresso Podcast](https://open.spotify.com/show/3GvtwRmTq4r3es8cbw8jW0?si=c75ea506a6694ef1)   iTunes: [The Real Estate Espresso Podcast](https://podcasts.apple.com/ca/podcast/the-real-estate-espresso-podcast/id1340482613)   Website: [www.victorjm.com](http://www.victorjm.com)   LinkedIn: [Victor Menasce](http://www.linkedin.com/in/vmenasce)   YouTube: [The Real Estate Espresso Podcast](http://www.youtube.com/@victorjmenasce6734)   Facebook: [www.facebook.com/realestateespresso](http://www.facebook.com/realestateespresso)   Email: [podcast@victorjm.com](mailto:podcast@victorjm.com)  **Y Street Capital:** Website: [www.ystreetcapital.com](http://www.ystreetcapital.com)   Facebook: [www.facebook.com/YStreetCapital](https://www.facebook.com/YStreetCapital)   Instagram: [@ystreetcapital](http://www.instagram.com/ystreetcapital)

In 2023 the University of Cambridge published details that quantified how manure and synthetic fertilisers emit the equivalent of 2.6 gigatonnes of carbon per year which is more than the emissions from global aviation and shipping combined. Read up on that article in Nature Magazine here.  Global fertiliser production is both essential and also hugely energy-intensive, yielding around 1.5% of total global CO2 emissions. CCm Technologies is a UK-based company scaling up to provide zero carbon fertilisers by taking CO2 waste streams and combining them with organic materials. With plans to triple production in the next few years, and projects in development in India and Europe, listen in to learn more about the FMCG partners who are supporting CCm's scale up and the opportunity for their cost-comparative fertiliser products. Takeaways: The origins of CCm Technologies and the commercialisation of CCU technologyHow partnerships with major retail and FMCG brands have helped scale CCm's plansHow the CCU tech works and the business model underpinning itWhy the “green premium” isn't such a challenge for CCm's business model and growthFuture plans and scale up Show links: -          Connect with Pawel Kisielewski and follow his work-          Read a profile on CCm Technologies by the Ellen Macarthur Foundation-          Follow Alex Cameron on LinkedIn and find how to get involved with the membership and work of Decarb Connect-          Read up on the pilot between Nestlé, Cargill and CCm Technologies to turn cocoa shells into low carbon fertiliser-          Watch CCm Technologies on the BBC's Countryfile program Learn about our Sponsor: Janno MediaMany thanks to our production partner and sponsor Janno Media for their support in delivering this podcast.

From the Minotaur to xenomorphs to the undead, monsters and their ilk have long been a staple of the sci-fi and fantasy genres. But what exactly is it that makes a monster? Guest John Wiswell joins us to discuss how monsters in fiction often reflect not only our primal fears, but also the people that society seeks to Other. When monsters reflect what a real or fictitious society values and doesn't value, what sorts of things do writers need to consider when placing monsters in their world? In this episode, we explore how, while monsters can sometimes just be plot obstacles for Our Heroes to overcome, they can also be coded -- intentionally or as a matter of unconscious bias -- in the same ways that disability, poverty, non-heteronormative sexuality, and other marginalized populations get coded. We also pull apart the idea of recontextualizing monsters: As is often said of Frankenstein and his creation -- who's really the monster? Who's the true beast? [Transcript TK] Our Guest: John Wiswell is an American science fiction and fantasy author whose short fiction has won the Locus and Nebula Awards and been a finalist for the Hugo, British Fantasy, and World Fantasy Awards. His debut fantasy novel, Someone You Can Build a Nest In, will be released in spring 2024 by DAW Books. John's work has appeared in Uncanny Magazine, Tor.com, LeVar Burton Reads, Nature Magazine, The Magazine of Fantasy & Science Fiction, Weird Tales, the No Sleep podcast, Nightmare Magazine, Cast of Wonders, Podcastle, Escape Pod, Pseudopod, and other fine venues. His fiction has been translated into Italian, Portuguese, Mandarin, Japanese, Polish, Hungarian, Turkish, Hebrew, and Romanian. He graduated Bennington College in 2005, and attended the Viable Paradise 17 workshop in 2013. He has multiple disabilities including a neuromuscular syndrome, and thinks healthy people's capacity to complain is very funny. He finds a lot of things very funny and would like to keep it that way. He is frequently available for interview and for talks at conferences. He has done panels at places such as Worldcon, the Nebula Awards, and the World Fantasy Convention. He posted fiction daily on this blog for six straight years, and has left every embarrassing and inspiring word of it up to read for free. If you'd like to see a writer develop style, it's all there. You can point and laugh. He probably can't hear you.

Our fascination with these mysterious birds was first documented more than 30,000 years ago in the Chauvet Cave paintings in southern France. With their forward-looking eyes and gaze and quiet flight, owls are often a symbol of wisdom, knowledge, and foresight. But what does an owl really know? And what do we really know about owls? Scientists have only recently begun to understand in deep detail the complex nature of these extraordinary avians. Some 260 species of owls exist today, and they reside on every continent except Antarctica, but they are far more difficult to find and study than other birds because they are cryptic, camouflaged, and mostly active in the dark of night. Our guest today, Smithsonian Associate Jennifer Ackerman, author of the New York Times bestseller The Genius of Birds, pulls back the curtain on the nature of the world's most enigmatic birds as she explores the rich biology and natural history of owls and examines remarkable new scientific discoveries about their brains and behavior.  Jennifer Ackerman has been writing about science, nature, and health for three decades.  Her work aims to explain and interpret science for a lay audience and to explore the riddle of humanity's place in the natural world, blending scientific knowledge with imaginative vision.  Jennifer Ackerman will be appearing at Smithsonian Associates coming up, so please check out our show notes or the Smithsonian Associates site for more details.  But we have Jennifer Ackerman today and here is a brief passage from her new book, What an Owl Knows: The New Science of the World's Most Enigmatic Bird , which we'll be discussing, and is the title of Jennifer Ackerman's upcoming presentation at Smithsonian Associates. That of course, is New York Times bestselling author Jennifer Ackerman reading from her new book, What an Owl Knows: The New Science of the World's Most Enigmatic Bird. Please join me in welcoming to the Not Old Better Show, Smithsonian Associates interview series on radio and podcast, Smithsonian Associate Jennifer Ackerman.

Dr. Arthur Lupia - Political endorsements can affect scientific credibility The Not Old Better Show - Inside Science Interview Series Welcome to The Not Old Better Show, Art of Living Interview Series on radio and podcast.  I'm Paul Vogelzang and we have one of the more intersting and timely shows with returning guest and audience favorite in Dr. Arthur Lupia, who I'll introduce, or re-introduce in just a minute. But quickly, if you missed any episodes, last week was our 717th episode when, In honor of Memorial Day and the USS Arizona, I spoke with Kevin Kline, executive director of Operation 85 and the USS Arizona.  There are still 85 “unknown” Navy and Marine service members from USS Arizona whose remains are in an unmarked graves.  Two weeks ago I spoke with  Dr. Kristi Tough DeSapri, women's bone health specialist and founding physician of Bone & Body Women's Health, to offer interviews and spread awareness of Postmenopausal Osteoporosis (PMO).  Excellent subjects for our Not Old Better Show audience.

Given our political climate, notwithstanding political parties and politicians, we are deluged with political endorsements.  When we stop to think about voting and how we decide. Today's guest, Dr. Arthur Lupia is the Gerald R Ford Distinguished University Professor at the University of Michigan. His research clarifies how people make decisions and form or break coalitions in complex political environments. Dr. Lupia will help us understand the persuasive nature of endorsements, which are apparently often so persuasive and may even do more harm than good, defeating their impact and damaging credibility.  Dr. Lupia will tell us today about  How political endorsements influence voters' perceptions and decision-making processes during elections, what factors contribute to the credibility of a political endorsement, and will share evidence that when a publication whose credibility comes from science decides to politicize its content, it can damage that credibility.    Let me set the stage briefly:  In 2020, Nature Magazine, a highly respected science publication, not political but subject to influence, endorsed Joe Biden in the US presidential election. A subsequent survey that we'll talk about today with Dr. Lupia found that viewing the endorsement did not change people's views of the candidates but caused some to lose confidence in Nature and in US scientists generally.    I want to jump right into this with Dr. Lupia, so please join me in welcoming back to The Not Old Better Show Dr. Arthur Lupia from the University of Michigan.    My thanks to Dr. Arthur Lupia, the Gerald R Ford Distinguished University Professor at the University of Michigan.  for his generous time today.  My thanks, always, to the Smithsonian team for all they do to support the show.

This week I speak with Cheryl Grey Bostrom. For most of her life, Pacific Northwest naturalist, photographer, poet, and Tyndale author Cheryl Grey Bostrom has lived in the rural and wild lands that infuse her writing. Her work has appeared in a variety of print and online publications, including the American Scientific Affiliation's God and Nature Magazine (for which she's a regular photo essayist) and her blog: Watching Nature, Seeing Life. Her four books include two novels: Sugar Birds (Christianity Today's Award of Merit, ACFW Carol Award, and Christy Finalist) and its sequel Chalk Horse (launching May 2024). Cheryl is a keen storyteller, always seeing the iconic snapshot within the big picture of everyday life and finding the words to describe the moment in such vivid detail that you feel as if you are there with her. Our conversation looks at her childhood up to the present and it's incredible to see how God has written her story the exact same way!

Letting our minds wander is more widespread than many people imagine: research has found that we can spend anywhere from 15% to 50% of our waking hours in a state of mind-wandering. Differences may depend on what we're doing and difficulties with knowing when our minds are wandering: according to some reports, about half our mind-wandering episodes might slip past unnoticed! To find out more about mind-wandering, its impact and its benefits for creative thinking, we are joined by Professor Jonathan Schooler of UC Santa Barbara About our guest... Jonathan Schooler is a Distinguished Professor of Psychological and Brain Sciences at the University of California Santa Barbara. His research on human cognition explores topics that intersect philosophy and psychology, such as how fluctuations in people's awareness of their experience mediate mind-wandering and how exposing individuals to philosophical positions alters their behavior. Professor Schooler is also interested in the science of science (meta-science) including understanding why effects sizes often decline over time, and how greater transparency in scientific reporting might address this issue. A former holder of a Tier 1 Canada Research Chair, he is a fellow of a variety of scientific organizations, on the editorial board of a number of psychology journals and the recipient of major grants from both the United States and Canadian governments as well as several private foundations. His research and comments are frequently featured in major media outlets such as The New York Times, The New Yorker, and Nature Magazine.

Modern man has finally lost confidence in himself. While trust in man's institutions have fallen like a rock since the 1970s per Gallup polls, trust remains in one area - science.--This is the last of the idols to fall.- Yet there is a crisis in science, headlined by the Washington Examiner.--A 2016 survey conducted by Nature Magazine found 90- of scientist respondents believed that a crisis was at hand, and a full 70- of those surveyed had tried and failed to reproduce another scientist's experiments.---For a century, evolutionists have cried out, -Who needs reproducibility- Who needs observation- Who needs verification- Who needs data---We have an elegant hypothesis that can't be wrong-- Science will fail us.--In fact, science is killing us now.----This program includes-----1.

On today's ID the Future, bioethicist Wesley J. Smith explores a recent article in the journal Nature, “The Alarming Rise of Complex Genetic Testing in Human Embryo Selection.” As alarming as that title sounds, Smith says the reality is even worse than the Nature article suggests. Using the breakthrough technology known as CRISPR, scientists are not only altering the genes of a given creature, including humans, but are even altering the creature's germline. This threatens to permanently alter a species, Smith explains, including the human species. There's the question of whether we have the right play god in this way, of course. There's also the practical issue of scientists not really knowing what they are doing yet. A gene identified Read More › Source

Little do most people know that water appears to have remarkable properties that your middle school science textbooks told you nothing about, including memory and a “fourth phase”. This appears to have deep implications for medicine and biology. Gerald Pollack maintains an active laboratory at the University of Washington in Seattle and is the author of Muscles and Molecules, Cells, Gels and the Engines of Life and The Fourth Phase of Water. We discuss a mere scandalous run-in with Nature Magazine that resulted in the demise of a certain researcher's career.Links:https://www.pollacklab.org/The Fourth Phase of Water book on Amazon See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

(note: time stamps are without ads & may be off a little) This week Beth and Wendy discuss the case of Apollo Keith Ortega, a Tucson, Arizona man who raped three women and killed two of them. He then told authorities that he did it because Satan told him to. This case was suggested to us by Brandy Nicole. We dive into the setting (10:48), the killer's early life (28:45) and the timeline (32:12).  Then, we get into the investigation & arrest (35:54), and "Where are they now?" followed by our takeaways and what we think made the perp snap (41:21).   As usual we close out the show with some tips on how not to get murdered and our shout outs (50:49).  This episode was researched & scripted by Wendy & Beth Williams. Thanks for listening! This is a weekly podcast and new episodes drop every Thursday, so until next time... look alive guys, it's crazy out there!

This episode is another scrapper. It played a bit part in another story I submitted to Nature Magazine's weekly science fiction feature ‘Futures'. Again, my limited abilities were a disservice to the story, but I felt there was something here. Humans are capable of limb regeneration, did you know that? Not whole arms and legs, though. Not hands or even entire fingers—but the tips of a finger are capable of growing back. It's documented in pediatric emergency medical journals that a child, younger than 11 or 12 years old, can regrow the part of the finger so long as a portion of the nailbed remains. Fingernails are like human hair and continuously grow with the help of stem cells. This ability is limited in adults, possibly due to a change in response, where instead of initiating regeneration it, instead, triggers inflammation. So like public discourse on the internet, people get more inflammatory as they age. I'd also like to comment on why many of my stories take place in Texas. It's Stephen King-esque and fantastical that all these stories can happen in one state, but it's done out of convenience more than anything. I've seen the way the grass grows across the different climates, ranging from brown, patched with dirt, and infested with fire ants in the valley, to the rich green carpets of the east and north. The way the moon as a gunmetal medallion or crimson sunsets gleam against both fresh and salt bodies of water. These visualizations are easier to parse out in my mind and allow me to step into my characters.

‘A quick trip to Tahiti' is what it feels like when our mind wanders. No matter what we do, where we are, or how important or valuable the task in front of us is, our minds wander. Interestingly, the research shows that we are less happy when our mind wanders than when it doesn't and what we think about during our mind wandering state is a far stronger predictor of our happiness than tasks we are in the middle of performing. Yet, the mind highjacked by mind-wandering can stay oblivious to its short trips.On this episode, researcher, author, and distinguished professor of Psychological and Brain Sciences at the University of California Santa Barbara, Jonathan Schooler, Ph. D., discusses his work in human cognition; particularly mind-wandering, its disruptive nature, its hidden benefits, and its link to meta-awareness. As he explains, since the mind is only intermittently aware of engaging in mind wandering, enhancing meta-awareness can be an important process to heighten monitoring and improve executive function.About Jonathan Schooler, Ph.D.Jonathan Schooler Ph.D. is a Distinguished Professor of Psychological and Brain Sciences at the University of California Santa Barbara.  He earned his BA from Hamilton College in 1981 and his Ph.D. from the University of Washington in 1987. His research on human cognition explores topics that intersect philosophy and psychology, such as how fluctuations in people's awareness of their experience mediate mind-wandering and how exposing individuals to philosophical positions alters their behavior.  He is also interested in the science of science (meta-science) including understanding why effects sizes often decline over time, and how greater transparency in scientific reporting might address this issue. A former holder of a Tier 1 Canada Research Chair, he is a fellow of a variety of scientific organizations, on the editorial board of a number of psychology journals and the recipient of major grants from both the United States and Canadian governments as well as several private foundations.

Welcome! and Thank you for listening!.  Elsa is off the west coast of Florida, and I am reporting in as safe.  The threat of a hurricane adds some stress to daily life.  It also requires preparing for potential days without power.  It usually mean a few days inside watching the wind and the rain.  It can also mean comfort food or junk food.   We usually go through the alphabet in named storms in the summer here in Florida.  That can translate into a lot of comfort food.  Add in summer holidays and birthdays and you can sense the calories and cholesterol.  The days outside exercising also get cut so there is a big shift in energy use.  How do we get around the slips that are "not usual" but all too common? Are cravings us or our microbes?  Is an upset stomach an allergy or a microbe issue.  Is all fiber alike?  I will discuss a study from Nature Magazine this month that sheds some interesting and positive light on digestive issues associated with dietary changes.  Have you ever heard of the saying "a chip on my shoulder"? It can be a powerful motivating source, but it can also be a limiter.  Does being told you can't spark change or defeat?  Do those things affect just changes we want to make or changes we need to make?  I hope you enjoy my discussion.  As always thank you for listening.  https://www.nature.com/articles/d41586-021-01601-y doctordulaney.com https://www.amazon.com/Plant-based-Wellness-Cookbook-Generations-Cooking/dp/1733967702/ref=sxts_sxwds-bia-wc-nc-drs1_0?cv_ct_cx=doctor+and+diva&dchild=1&keywords=doctor+and+diva&pd_rd_i=1733967702&pd_rd_r=b4b3e11f-e7c1-4a71-a571-54903174e969&pd_rd_w=jpaTr&pd_rd_wg=GNibG&pf_rd_p=8f655ecb-bc8c-4750-9088-950aa74d52dd&pf_rd_r=JMDW81JEWW3K2VMA0JND&psc=1&qid=1608320722&sr=1-1-88388c6d-14b8-4f70-90f6-05ac39e80cc0 https://groundsandhoundscoffee.com/discount/SophieSays

One of the hottest new trends in biomedical research today is what is known as spatial biology--the ability to capture tissues in a 3D context. It was named Method of the Year by Nature Magazine in 2020. And one of the first automated instruments launched in this market was the GeoMx Digital Spatial Profiler by NanoString. CEO Brad Gray is here to tell us the story of the birth of the DSP and the revolution of 3D biology. What will these new tools enable for the basic and translational researcher?

If we were to lose the Ozone layer of atmosphere we would be in big big trouble. Top of the list of concerns would be radiation from the sun would be able to reach earth directly. Sounds pretty horrifying and impossible right? We were on the verge of it and it wasn’t all that long ago. The alarm was sounded in the May 16th issue of NATURE Magazine, three scientists from the British Antarctic Survey announced that they had confirmed detection of what was indeed abnormally low levels of ozone over the South Pole….we were now in BIG trouble...this day in weather history.

In this episode of 'Metaphor & Reality', writer E. S. Dallaire begins with a few reasons for why the novel may just be an obsolete form for literary expression, and then he introduces the philosophy book by Alenka Zupančič he is currently reading, entitled 'What Is Sex?', which he plans to explore in the next episode. He tries to provide perspective on the coronavirus and its vaccine by locating them in their respective timelines of development or maturation, in 2020, and going into 2021. He talks a bit about Twitter as a failed product, in light of how it falls short of the ideals of communication and community which Jack Dorsey seems to have had for the platform in its early years.   Nature Magazine article about mRNA vaccines: https://www.nature.com/articles/s41587-020-00807-1 A bit more of the story developing around alternative treatments, such as Ivermectin: https://trialsitenews.com/in-far-flung-places-covid-19-is-being-treated-early-and-well-heres-why-americans-dont-know-this/   E.

This week we are actually talking about Vikings again. Crazy right, who knew we still did that? If you are not aware Nature Magazine recently published an article about the genetic roots of the Vikings, and it has produced quite the range of reactions from people. There are those claiming that this changes everything, while others claim that this changes nothing, so nothing too polarizing. Together with Youtube's Viking Stories host Sturla, Mathias and Daniel will do their best to untangle this mess of roots, but the answers may be complicated.If you'd prefer an ad free version of the show check out our Patreon, it’s one of the very first tiers, and we really appreciate the help!

Pearse Keane is our guest in this week's episode. Dr Keane is speaking in the Health Tech stream at the conference in October. Pearse explains what drew him to ophthalmology, and shares his story about how he came to collaborate with DeepMind to use deep learning to identify age-related macular degeneration (AMD), a devasting but common retinal disease that, if not treated quickly enough, leads to blindness.Pearse talks about the two papers published in Nature Magazine about this research and the realities and challenges involved in moving from research to real world implementation, and the importance of working with industry to bring benefits to patients.Pearse explains what the UKRI Future Leaders Fellowship means to his work, which explores the development and application of AI in the NHS, particularly sharing his learnings around ethics, data protection, and transparency, so that the NHS and the UK can be world leaders in this space.We loved talking to Pearse and we hope you enjoy the episode. To catch his talk at the Anthropology + Technology Conference on 9th October, get your ticket at anthtechconf.co.uk.

How Huxley’s X-Club Created Nature Magazine and Sabotaged Science for 150 Years Amidst the storm of controversy raised by the lab-origin theory of COVID-19 extolled by such figures as Nobel prize winning virologist Luc Montagnier, researcher Judy Mikowits, bioweapons expert Francis Boyle, Sri Lankan Cardinal Malcolm Ranjith and the head of Iran’s Revolutionary Guard, an elaborate project was undertaken under the nominal helm of NATURE Magazine in order to refute the claim once and for all under the report ‘The proximal origin of SARS-CoV-2’. This project was led by a team of evolutionary virologists using a line of reasoning that “random mutation can account for anything” and was parroted loudly and repeatedly by Fauci, WHO officials and Bill Gates in order to shut down all uncomfortable discussion of the possible laboratory origins of COVID-19 while also pushing for a global vaccine campaign. On April 18, Dr. Fauci (whose close ties with Bill Gates, and Big Pharma have much to do with his control of hundreds of billions of dollars of research money), stated: “There was a study recently that we can make available to you, where a group of highly qualified evolutionary virologists looked at the sequences there and the sequences in bats as they evolve. And the mutations that it took to get to the point where it is now is totally consistent with a jump of a species from an animal to a human.” I think at this moment, rife as it is with speculative arguments, confusion and under-defined data, it is useful to remove oneself from the present and look for higher reference points from which we can re-evaluate events now unfolding on the world stage. In order to do this, let us begin by asking a new series of questions: What is Nature Magazine exactly? Is it truly an “objective” platform for pure scientific research untainted by the filth of political agendas? Is this standard-bearer of “proper method”, which can make or break the career of any scientist, truly the scientific journal it claims to be or is there something darker to be discovered? As I presented a part of this story in my previous instalment in this series The Rise of Optical Biophysics and Clash of the Two Sciences, a very old battle has been waged around political systems but also what sort of scientific paradigms will shape our future. (continue reading) Matthew is a journalist and co-founder of the Rising Tide Foundation and Canadian Patriot Review. He has published scientific articles with 21st Century Science and Technology, and is a regular author on several political/cultural websites including Los Angeles Review of Books: China Channel, Strategic Culture, Off Guardian and The Duran. He has also authored three books from the series the Untold History of Canada.

Dear DCIS Secondary Parents, The first half term of any academic year is usually one of the busiest for parents, students and staff at the best of times and this year was no exception particularly when you throw in moving into a new building. I am exceptionally proud of our students and staff and the way they have settled into their new home at Dover Court. Over the half term we have listened and observed to make some subtle changes as the term has developed and we will make further changes in terms of infrastructure ready for the start of Term 1.2. We are very proud of our new facilities, and we recently held an official opening ceremony which was attended by the British High Commissioner, Kara Owen, Dr Bicky Bhangu, President of South East Asia Rolls-Royce, parents students and staff. Ayush in Year 7 who won the naming competition and designed the logo for the Red Dot Restaurant was invited to cut one of the five ribbons; he managed to do so with one clean cut, something which I did not. As you will have seen and heard about from my various other communications, we were extremely pleased with both our iGCSE and IB results this summer. It confirms that students at Dover Court achieve extremely well, and most importantly, that we take students further than they are expected to achieve. We have had a good number of trips and visits run already this term including two Duke of Edinburgh Trips, a Red Dot Museum trip, a Geography IB trip and the World Scholar’s Cup trip to Manila, where nine students made it through to the final round at Yale next month. A fantastic achievement. The STEAM challenge week was a huge success. This term’s challenge was called A Different Lens, featuring Felice Frankel and it asked students to explore communicating Art through Science. Felice Frankel is the Artist in Residence at MIT. Her job is to help Scientists, Engineers and Mathematicians communicate their discoveries through the use of beautiful, compelling images. Many of these images have been used on the front cover of science publications such as Nature Magazine. I was amazed by the photographs produced. We then held a STEAM exhibition in the Cooper Hall, where a selection of the most captivating images were displayed. Despite the Singapore weather, our Secondary Sports Day was a success. We had some very close fought races, with Mr Lindsay even winning the teachers’ race. With everything accounted for, including football and indoor athletics, Newton came out overall winners with Jurong and Ubin close behind in 2nd and 3rd place respectively. A huge thanks should go to the PE team who have managed and delivered Sports Days across the whole school recently, which is no mean feat. I have had the pleasure of inviting ten students from Year 7 and ten students from Year 8 to join me for a Hot Chocolate and a brownie as part of my monthly Headteacher Reward. I was particularly taken back to hear the stories of altruism that led to most of the students being nominated by their tutors. We are hosting the other year groups, one year group each month as the year progresses. We also held our first PSHE Drop Down Day this term. Students attended a day of workshops and lessons to focus on key issues appropriate to each age group, from Looking after ourselves and each other in Year 7 to Relationships in Year 9 and Getting Ready for Exams further up the school.

This week it is true that the Amazon (Amazonas? Amazonia?) is burning and glaciers are dying, but misinformation is still everywhere. Especially, meditation and rain dances will not help. Instead we should learn from John Locke, born this week in 1632, and who taught us the benefits of empiricism. Even though the Cardinal Pell story seems to be all over for him, the Vatican still faces a giant dilemma on how to handle it. There's a 1 million Euro award for you if you can prove that a German city doesn't exist, Nobel laureates are sometimes cranks, but you can learn key concepts for making informed choices if you read Nature Magazine. Edinburgh hesitates in kicking out non-elected religious school board members, Valigia Blu gets Italian Skeptic award from CICAP, the UK loses status as “Measles free” and study from Australia suggest that political views are perhaps not so much of a factor in vaccination resistance. Finally, we conclude that no matter what they think in Turku University in Finland, climate change is definitely man-made and whoever says differently are Really Wrong.

How is the field of climate science going to change in the future? Michael White joins me to discuss his role as climate science editor for Nature magazine, his pathway into science, and his continued pathway into publishing.

In this episode of Physical Attraction, we'll talk about the breaking news surrounding the birth of the world's first genetically modified CRISPR baby.  "He Jiankui, the Chinese scientist who claims to have helped produce the first people born with edited genomes — twin girls — appeared today at a gene-editing summit in Hong Kong to explain his experiment. He gave his talk amid threats of legal action and mounting questions, from the scientific community and beyond, about the ethics of his work and the way in which he released the results."  - Nature Magazine. This experiment, which - if confirmed - marks the first instance where a genetically modified human was born - may well have crossed the Rubicon and opened Pandora's Box on behalf of humanity, to mix metaphors. An ethical and scientific storm is already brewing. We'll describe and discuss the experiment, and what it might mean, and then brief you on the future of the show. www.physicspodcast.com @physicspod

Dr. Mark Sircus explains the benefits of the first element on the periodic table, hydrogen, and its role in recovery and anti-aging.  It's 10 years exactly where the first essay in Nature Magazine came out talking about hydrogen as a medicine. So it's only 10 years old. Most of the research has been done in Japan and China, both of these countries use hydrogen in medicine. And now it's coming to the west. Hydrogen water is something that's been back around the United States for a couple years. And hydrogen gas machines. It's only about a year, year and a half the first machines at the shows in United States, so it's very new. Dr. Mark Sircus Who is Dr. Mark Sircus? Dr. Mark Sircus, Ac., OMD, DM (P) (acupuncturist, doctor of oriental and pastoral medicine) is a prolific writer and author of some astounding medical and health-related books. Dr. Sircus’s methods are based on medical science and long years of clinical experience, not only his own but experiences of doctors from around the world who have been practicing brilliant medicine. His books are heavily referenced, but the layperson finds little difficulty in understanding his presentation of medical topics. For many years Dr. Sircus has been researching into the human condition and into the causes of disease; he has distilled many of the divergent medical systems into a new form of medicine that he has coined Natural Allopathic Medicine. What is Natural Allopathic Medicine?  Natural Allopathic Medicine represents a new therapeutic principle that revolutionizes both allopathic and naturopathic medicine offering a radical shift in medical thought and practice. Dr. Sircus’s protocol addresses foundational physiology. It focuses on pH management, cell voltage, magnesium and iodine medicine, cannabinoid medicine, carbon dioxide medicine, re-mineralization of the body, increasing oxygen transport and oxygenation of the tissues, opening up of blood vessels, saturation and healing of cells with concentrated nutrition via superfoods, breathing retraining, emotional transformation processing, detoxification and removal of heavy metals and radioactive particles.

Imagination Continue Your High Performance Journey DrSircus.com Sponsor The sponsor for this episode is the ring on my finger. No, I’m not married yet. And frankly, before that ring, I hated wearing rings. But I must say the guys at Oura have done a great job. The ring allows me to track all sorts of crazy things about my sleep, including my resting heart rate, my deep sleep stages, my REM sleep, etc, etc. I really enjoy the feedback and allows me to make lifestyle decisions to become a higher performer. Let me give you an example. So prior to getting the ordering, I would fast essentially 16 hours after my last meal. It didn’t matter when that last meal was. However, when I look at my resting heart rate, and how that really correlates to my performance The next day, I know I want my lowest resting heart rate coming as soon as possible after going to sleep because that’s when all my recovery really starts. So what did I do? Well, it allowed me to adjust really when my last meal was before going to bed. So I have my last meal. Now, earlier in the night, I get better sleep, I get higher quality sleep. And I must say the next day feels amazing. So if you want to check out the Oura Ring and if you want to pick one up yourself, go to ouraring.com and plug in the code Boomer and you’ll get $50 off your order or 50 euros, depending on your jurisdiction. I really hope you enjoy the ring and on with the show. Disclaimer This information is being provided to you for educational and informational purposes only.

The British Birth Cohort Studies are often described as ‘the jewel in the crown’ of British science. They are used on a daily basis by life course researchers at ICLS to try to better understand how life gets under our skin and to help policy makers, practitioners and the public know when and how to act to help people live long, healthy and happy lives. In this episode of the Lifecourse Podcast, author of The Life Project and Nature Magazine’s Chief Features Editor, Helen Pearson talks about how the cohort studies have touched all our lives and reflects on ICLS research findings presented in the booklet, Never too early, Never too Late. www.ucl.ac.uk/icls/publications/booklets/N2EN2L

Anjali Nayar   Anjali and I talk about the power of storytelling to change lives, her new film Gun Runners, friendship, the mediations of the marathon runner, the Global South and why we need to spend more time listening to others.   Synopsis When it comes to world-class marathon runners, Kenyans are considered the cream of the crop. Particularly those from Kenya’s Rift Valley. These athletes have won marathons in London, New York and Berlin, and have set countless world records. But some of Kenya’s top runners aren’t running for fame and fortune. Some are wanted warriors, running for their lives. For years, Julius Arile and Robert Matanda thrive among the roaming bands of warriors that terrorize the North Kenyan countryside. By the time they reach their mid-twenties, stealing cattle, raiding and running from the police is the only life they know. So when both warriors suddenly disappear from the bush, many of their peers assume they are dead or have been arrested. Instead, they trade in their rifles for sneakers—in the hopes of making it big as professional marathon runners. Years of fleeing from the police have prepared the men for running marathon distances, but do they have what it takes to overcome the corruption, mistrust and jealousy that threaten to derail their careers? Or will they give up on their dreams and return to a life of easy power and money? Told entirely by its central characters, Gun Runners is the American Dream, Kenyan-style. Watch the trailer here. Biography Anjali Nayar is an award-winning filmmaker, multimedia storyteller and journalist, based in Nairobi, Kenya.  Anjali is currently directing "Logs of War," a cross-platform documentary about activists using smart phones to expose land grabs and corruption in West Africa. She has also just finished post-production on "Gun Runners," an epic story (over 8 years) about two warriors, who trade in their guns for running shoes and the Kenyan dream of marathon running.Beyond film, Anjali leads the TIMBY project, which brings together designers, techies and filmmakers, breaking divides to tell stories that change the world. TIMBY is a suite of digital tools that helps activists report, verify and tell stories safely and efficiently around the world. Anjali has a Masters in Documentary from Columbia’s Graduate School of Journalism, a Masters in Environmental Management from Oxford University and a Graduate degree in Space Science from the International Space University. Anjali has also written and filmed extensively for Nature Magazine, Reuters, the CBC and BBC. Besides work-stuff, Anjali spends a lot of time playing capoeira and making cake pops.   You can read more about Anjali and her new initiative here. ----------   For more information about my podcasting, writing and public speaking please visit my site here.   With thanks to producer Josh Snethlage and Mixed Media Sound     See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

One of the foundational values of this show is emphasizing the importance of using the best available evidence when making decisions about medical care.  Unfortunately the drive to publish has driven some to game the scientific publishing system. From circumventing the peer-review process to outright fraud, scientific literature is plagued with misinformation. The scientific community is responding, though. With tools like retraction databases, research reproducibility efforts and post-publication peer review, scientists are working to maintain the highest level of inegrity in the scientific literature. Be sure to listen all the way to the end, we get a littel personal.
