What does the Tour de France have to do with STEM education? More than you might think.This week, host Matt Kirchner is joined by Wall Street Journal columnist and cycling expert Jason Gay to unpack the world's most demanding sporting event: the Tour de France. They break down everything from team tactics to jersey competitions to the breathtaking drama expected in this year's race—highlighting the fierce rivalry between defending champion Tadej Pogačar and two-time winner Jonas Vingegaard.Along the way, they explore the surprising connections between elite cycling and STEM education, from aerodynamics and power output to mechanical systems, race strategy, and nutrition science.Listen to learn:What makes the Tour de France's 21-stage race one of the most captivating competitions in global sportA preview of this year's high-stakes showdown between two of cycling's most dominant ridersHow the science of cycling connects directly to STEM—physics, engineering, and human performanceThe advanced tech behind the race: radio comms, carbon fiber frames, power meters, and moreThe complex strategy and systems thinking behind every individual win3 Big Takeaways from this Episode:1. The Tour de France offers a powerful model for teaching systems thinking. Success on the course depends on how well teams work together—each rider has a role, and strategy unfolds in real time. Educators can use the race to illustrate collaboration, logistics, and decision-making under pressure.2. Cycling gives students a real-world application of STEM principles. Every stage involves physics, data analysis, mechanical systems, and energy management. From gearing ratios to wattage tracking to aerodynamics, the race mirrors the technical concepts taught in STEM and CTE classrooms.3. This year's race highlights how different approaches can lead to success. Pogačar races on instinct and momentum; Vingegaard relies on structure and consistency. Their contrast gives educators a chance to explore how mindset, preparation, and style impact outcomes—even in high-tech, high-performance environments.Resources in this Episode:Official website of the Tour de FranceConnect with Jason GayFollow Jason on X  |  Read Jason's articles in The Wall Street JournalWe want to hear from you!

In this episode of The Dr. Gabrielle Lyon Show, I sit down with my friend, Dr. Allison Brager, a neurobiologist, researcher, and active-duty U.S. Army neuroscientist whose work redefines what we know about sleep and human performance.

Today, I am joined by leading health optimization expert Dr. Rhonda Patrick to dive deep into the science of sleep, exercise, and longevity. Dr. Patrick brings her extensive research background and practical experience to explain how sleep deprivation affects glucose regulation and brain function, and why high-intensity exercise is crucial for optimal health. She shares fascinating insights about the importance of protein intake, omega-3 fatty acids, and exercise timing, while debunking common myths about aging and nutrition. This conversation is packed with actionable protocols and evidence-based strategies to help you optimize your health and performance.Check out Dr. Patrick's FREE How to Train GuideIn this episode you will learn:How just 3 nights of reduced sleep can dramatically impact your glucose regulation and cognitive functionWhy 10 minutes of high-intensity exercise can help reverse the negative effects of sleep deprivationThe surprising connection between resistance training, lactate production, and brain healthHow to time your workouts and meals for optimal glucose regulation and cognitive performanceThe critical role of omega-3 fatty acids in longevity and why supplementation mattersFor more information go to https://www.lewishowes.com/1707For more Greatness text PODCAST to +1 (614) 350-3960More SOG episodes we think you'll love:Mark Hyman – greatness.lnk.to/1695SCDr. William Li  – greatness.lnk.to/1410SCGlucose Goddess – greatness.lnk.to/1575SC Get more from Lewis!
