In this episode, Ralph and Luc unpack how Americans got so obsessed with maintaining square green carpets on their front lawns. We dive into the history to trace back the origins and dissemination of this artificial aesthetic. We also look into solutions, ranging from bans on leaf blowers to cash schemes to encourage people to quit their lawn.We read a poem about the lunacy of leaf blowers, and highlight ways in which manicured suburban imported lawn grass is a synecdoche for colonialism.

In 2022, Dr. Brad Stanfield posted a video in which he explained why he stopped taking Fisetin and Quercetin, two of the most popular supplements in our longevity community. This comes in total contradiction to the expert opinion of other longevity researchers, such as Dr David Sinclair, Dr. Paul Robbins , and Dr James Kirkland. Who's right? Who's wrong? I watched the video, and after researching about it, and finding pretty shocking things, I had to post my reply. And today, we'll do an investigation into Brad Stanfield's conclusion. We'll discover: - What are senescent cells and why they matter to your longevity? - What is the number one reason Brad stopped taking fisetin and quercetin? Then, I'll tell you what I really think about Dr. Brad Standfield and his channel. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ✅ Check Rimon's new updated longevity course: https://wellnessmessiah.com/course --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/wellnessmessiah/message

Welcome to Yardwork, a summer yard and garden miniseries from Outside/In. We're sharing three stories about our relationships with the land around us: the front yard, the backyard, and down the block. This is part one.Americans love a lawn. Green grass grows everywhere: on baseball fields, in backyards, in front of strip malls. Collectively, we spend billions of dollars every year keeping them fertilized and watered.But lawns cost more than money in Western states like Utah. Despite a severe drought, residents of Utah's towns and cities use more water per capita than any other place in the nation, and a majority of that water goes right into lawns. That's helping fuel an environmental disaster that could wipe out one of America's largest inland seas.In part one of Yardwork, we trace the 600-year history of lawns, explore how they became a symbol of power, wealth, and Whiteness in America, and share tips on how to make a yard more environmentally responsible.Featuring: Malin Curry, Ira Curry, Kelly Kopp, Zach Frankel, Karen Stenehjel SUPPORTOutside/In is made possible with listener support.

An article in Scientific American bringing a science and technology studies lens to Genetically Modified Organisms, provoked louder than normal responses from the pro biotech crowd. What can we learn from the exchange? Dr Andrew Flachs, Associate Professor of Anthropology at Purdue University, studied the role of seeds on farmer livelihoods in rural India as part of his book, Cultivating Knowledge.

While Jamie is away on his quest to join the proletariat in order to secure a liveable wage, Skander is joined by Andrew, a fellow student from the Centre for Development and Environment at the University of Oslo. Together, with the help of arcane zoomic rituals, they conjure the spirit of Paul Robbins, Dean of the Nelson Institute for Environmental Studies at the University of Wisconsin-Madison to ask him a few questions about the sacred political ecology textbook he once wrote... and re-wrote... and re-re-wrote. You know the saying, 3rd edition's the charm. Paul is a fantastic researcher and theorist who has published a plethora of fascinating research and work around questions such as: why it is that working on topics related to nature is inherently political? We discuss his work and efforts at the Nelson Institute, the academic wars of the 90s and what we can learn from the degrowth/ecomodernism divide. We left this conversation even bigger fans of Paul's work, having learned much about a field which we consider to be our (upcoming) own, and running to ask our local bookshops if they have copies of his book Lawn People. You can find Paul on Twitter and more of his work on his website Let us know your thoughts at risingwiththetide@gmail.com as well as what you'd like us to talk about next!

Ry, our host of WeedBudz Radio, moved back to his home state of Maine In 2019. When he returned, he was amazed by the incredible Cannabis industry that had been developed. He sought out recommendations and referrals from others that were participating In Maines Medical Marijuana Program. After spending time exploring the Cannabis industry in other markets throughout the country Ry found that Maine had something really special to offer. The industry in Maine seemed underrated, to say the least. That is when Ry came up with the idea to help bring the individuals and organizations behind Maine's industry to not just the consumers but to the Nation. We have guests from all across the country and Canada and we wanted to pay tribute to the State of our roots. Ultimately, all of this leads us to create WeedBudz Maine's Best of 2019. We accepted nominations and then leveraged our advisors of objective, and unbiased parties to recognize a Maine Bud Tender and a Maine Dispensary that we felt set a high standard for Education, Experience, and Empathy. Paul Robbins of Wellness Connection in Portland, Maine was honored with the WeedBudz 2019 BudzTender of the Year due to his thirst for knowledge and commitment to his craft. Patricia Rossi, CEO of Wellness Connection in Portland, Maine accepted WeedBudz Maine Dispensary of the Year for 2019 on behalf of the entire organization. Patricia has a passion for the industry and is dedicated to continuing education and the empowerment of her teams to be the best service members they can be. This was a really special day not just for WeedBudz, Paul, and Wellness Connection but for the Maine Cannabis industry. Tune in and hear from Patricia and Paul after receiving WeedBudz 2019 Awards. Note: On WeedBudz.com you can find WeedBudz awards and start nominating your favorite Cannabis brands, and individuals today. We have a National recognition survey that will be used for public voting at the end of 2020. We have another survey to celebrate our roots in the great state of Maine where there will be monthly features within our blog and podcast in addition to public voting at the end of the year for Best of WeedBudz Maine. Thank you for being a part of the WeedBudz community.

Aging is arguably the leading risk factor for chronic diseases in the modern world. We have historically thought of aging as an inexorable decline of function, driven by the passage of time - something that we simply have to accept, and that cannot be changed. But what if aging were actually a modifiable risk factor? Your chronological age, meaning the length of time that you have been alive, obviously cannot be changed. But we know that biological aging can vary significantly, even among individuals who are of similar chronological age. If we can better understand the fundamental mechanisms that underlie biological aging, we might be able to devise interventions that could prevent or delay age-related diseases. One of the relevant processes is cellular senescence. Cellular senescence is a phenomenon through which normal cells irreversibly cease to divide in response to genomic damage. Senescent cells accumulate in the body as we get older, and they actually do a lot of bad stuff in the body. Senescent cells secrete pro-inflammatory factors, like cytokines, which induces a state of chronic low-grade inflammation. But it gets even worse. These senescent cells can also drive other healthy neighboring cells into senescence. So senescent cells are basically microscopic zombies! This has driven interest in identifying senolytics - compounds that can selectively kill senescent cells (while leaving normal cells alone). In this episode of humanOS Radio, Dan talks to Paul Robbins. Paul is the principal investigator at the Robbins Lab at Scripps Research Institute. Notably, his lab has been screening for drugs that can safely and effectively clear out senescent cells. This research has produced some remarkable results in animal models. For example, he and colleagues found that older mice that were given senolytics became faster and stronger, and experienced a 36% increased median post-treatment lifespan, compared to a control group. Wow! That's just a tiny snapshot of this incredibly important work. To learn more, please check out the interview!
SHR # 2243 :: Study Shows Reversing Aging is Possible :: Dr. Paul D. Robbins - Many of us know how to "age better" but the dream of actually reversing aging may be closer than you think. University of Minnesota researchers understand that. They have started by focusing on the diseases associated with aging, by targeting senescent cells. Senescent cells produce chemicals that make other cells around them sick and aged, and the entire body shows the signs of aging. They have successfully targeted these cells and caused them to self-destruct leading to elimination of the aging burden from the body. ::
