Pay attention. Focus on your breathing. Live in the moment. Accept yourself. Do you have a self? Focus on that self. And so on. This is, of course, the practice of mindfulness meditation, which seems to be everywhere: in schools, at work, in apps, and all over the scientific literature.Do any of the claimed effects of mindfulness meditation (relieving your depression! Changing the structure of your brain!) actually add up? In this episode of The Studies Show, Tom and Stuart focus calmly, serenely, and gratefully on their own thoughts, and then find out.The Studies Show is brought to you by Works in Progress magazine.

Our latest podcast discusses the newly launched DogMA app with researchers Dr Natasha Clark and Professor Eithne Comerford. Mobility issues from musculoskeletal diseases, like osteoarthritis, affect around 200,000 dogs annually, posing a significant challenge to their health and welfare. Although these diseases can affect dogs of any age, owners often miss early, subtle signs of gait abnormalities, leading to late diagnosis of osteoarthritis. The DogMA app was developed to address this by enabling early detection of mobility problems, including subtle signs of discomfort or decline often overlooked in routine care. DogMA is supported by scientific research led by Dr. Natasha Clark at the University of Liverpool, under the supervision of Professors Eithne Comerford and Karl Bates, in collaboration with Dogs Trust. By using the app for regular assessments, users can also contribute anonymized data to ongoing research at the University of Liverpool, helping to advance the understanding of canine mobility across the UK.ReferencesHere is the link to the paper discussed in today's podcast:Clark NL, Bates KT, Harris LK, Tomlinson AW, Murray JK, Comerford EJ.

Ai microfoni Kuna e Ilaria per la puntata 572. Apre le danze Kuna che, approfittando delle recenti polemiche sull'esame di stato, discute il concetto di scuola senza voto e le sperimentazioni intraprese in Italia e all'estero, da cui emerge come l'idea di limitare l'uso del giudizio numerico alla valutazione finale, se accompagnata da una didattica adeguata, possa migliorare il clima e i risultati dell'apprendimento.

In this episode of Iron Culture, Dr. Eric Trexler and Dr. Lauren Colenso-Semple discuss science related to attractiveness, coolness, and personality type. They explore scientific studies on the factors associated with perceived attractiveness and "coolness," discussing body fat percentages and societal perceptions. The conversation shifts to how personality traits appear to predict workout preferences and engagement in fitness, then they debate the importance of matching exercise to individual characteristics.

Was wäre wenn …? Hätte ich doch nur … Müsste ich nicht eigentlich…? Das kennt wahrscheinlich jeder von uns: Gedanken, die immer wieder um dieselben Themen kreisen. Man kommt nicht runter vom Gedankenkarussell. Wiederkehrende, belastende Gedanken sind ein zentrales Merkmal vieler psychischer Belastungen. In dieser Folge fragen sich Atze und Leon, warum wir dazu neigen, in solchen Denkschleifen zu verharren und werfen einen Blick auf aktuelle Forschungsansätze und evidenzbasierte Strategien zum Grübeln. Was ist normal und was ist schon nicht mehr gesund? Und was können wir konkret im Alltag tun, um das Gedankenkarussell zu stoppen?

Peut-on être affecté par le changement climatique… avant même de naître ? Une étude récente publiée dans la revue PLOS One suggère que oui. Elle s'est intéressée aux effets combinés d'une tempête et d'une vague de chaleur extrême sur le développement cérébral du fœtus pendant la grossesse. Et ses résultats sont aussi fascinants qu'inquiétants.L'étude repose sur une cohorte d'enfants dont certaines mères étaient enceintes au moment du passage de l'ouragan Sandy à New York en 2012, une tempête alors accompagnée d'une chaleur exceptionnelle. Les chercheurs ont réalisé des IRM sur ces enfants plusieurs années après leur naissance, pour mesurer précisément le volume de certaines régions de leur cerveau, notamment les ganglions de la base, qui jouent un rôle clé dans le mouvement, la régulation des émotions et la prise de décision.Les résultats sont saisissants. Les enfants exposés in utero à la tempête présentaient un volume plus important dans certaines structures cérébrales, notamment le putamen et le pallidum. Cela pourrait indiquer un développement accéléré ou, au contraire, une perturbation dans la maturation normale de ces régions.Mais ce qui rend cette étude particulièrement novatrice, c'est l'effet de la chaleur extrême. À elle seule, elle ne semblait pas avoir d'impact significatif. En revanche, combinée à la tempête, elle modifiait de manière marquée la structure du cerveau : certaines zones augmentaient de volume, d'autres diminuaient, comme le noyau accumbens gauche, impliqué dans le circuit de la récompense et de la motivation.Selon la chercheuse principale, Yoko Nomura, cette double exposition a créé une « tempête neurologique parfaite ». Elle suggère que le stress climatique, lorsqu'il est intense et multiforme, pourrait avoir un effet durable sur le cerveau en développement.Ce phénomène s'inscrit dans le cadre plus large des recherches sur les « origines développementales de la santé et des maladies » : l'idée que l'environnement prénatal programme en partie la santé future de l'individu. Or, les événements climatiques extrêmes sont de plus en plus fréquents : canicules, tempêtes, incendies, inondations. Et il devient crucial de comprendre leur impact sur les populations les plus vulnérables, y compris les bébés à naître.En conclusion, cette étude ouvre un nouveau champ de réflexion : le changement climatique n'affecte pas seulement notre quotidien ou notre environnement.

In this episode we discuss why neurodivergent people find transitions (both small and large) so challenging. We discuss the concepts of ADHD task paralysis, sensory issues, executive function, aversion to change and autistic inertia and how all of these elements are at play when transitions are happening in our lives.Here are the key references we mention in the episode:https://reframingautism.org.au/transitioning-autistically-a-case-of-cant-not-wont/Demetriou, E.

Contributor: Alec Coston, MD Educational Pearls: For patients presenting to the emergency room with hypertension, clinicians should determine if it is isolated and uncomplicated, or involves comorbidities with more complex underlying pathophysiology.  For uncomplicated and isolated hypertension, first-line treatment is thiazide diuretics.  How do thiazide diuretics work to treat hypertension? Thiazide diuretics work by blocking sodium and chloride resorption in the kidneys.  “Where sodium goes, water follows,” thus promoting diuresis and lowering blood pressure. Examples of thiazide diuretics and their benefits? Hydrochlorothiazide (HCTZ): First-line medication in uncomplicated and chronic hypertensive states. Cheaper and fewer significant adverse effects compared to chlorthalidone. HCTZ can be associated with decreased risk of stroke and myocardial infarction. However, for more complicated hypertension, especially in the setting of heart failure, Angiotensin Converting Enzyme (ACE) Inhibitors should be considered.  How do ACE Inhibitors manage blood pressure? The body's kidneys drive the Renin-Angiotensin-Aldosterone-System (RAAS) to regulate blood pressure. It is easiest to understand RAAS as being pro-hypertensive as a response to decreased renal perfusion. As renal perfusion decreases, renin is released and activates angiotensin I, which is converted by ACE to Angiotensin II, which causes release of aldosterone. ACE Inhibitors prevent the conversion of Angiotensin I to Angiotensin II, thus decreasing the kidneys' production of Angiotensin II and Aldosterone levels. Why, in the context of heart failure, are ACE Inhibitors preferred? In heart failure, especially left-sided or left-ventricular heart failure, a vicious cycle can develop wherein the left ventricle fails to perfuse the kidneys due to over-dilation. The kidneys are hypoperfused and activate RAAS to try to retain volume and increase peripheral vasoconstriction, promoting renal perfusion. The increase in blood pressure puts further strain on the heart, thereby further decreasing cardiac output. The cycle develops, and extremely elevated blood pressures can develop. ACE Inhibitors can directly block this cycle, hence their preference in heart failure. Big takeaway? In uncomplicated hypertensive patients, consider thiazide diuretics. When comorbidities, especially heart failure, are introduced, then consider ACE Inhibitors. References Carey RM, Moran AE, Whelton PK. Treatment of Hypertension: A Review.

En este episodio reflexiono sobre algo que cada vez más investigadores nos planteamos: ¿cómo llevar al mercado una idea o resultado científico sin dejar de ser lo que somos? A raíz de un artículo que encontré en PLOS ONE (https://journals.plos.org/ploscompbiol/article?id=10.1371/journal.pcbi.1002712) y de mi propia experiencia en transferencia tecnológica, comparto algunos puntos clave sobre lo que implica comercializar la investigación.De por qué comercializar ciencia no es tan diferente de vender zapatos… pero con matices importantes.De los dos caminos que pueden encontrarse: desde la ciencia al mercado, o desde un problema del mercado hacia una solución científica.De por qué crear una empresa no es obligatorio para transferir conocimiento (aunque a veces ayuda).De los distintos grados de implicación: desde ceder derechos a implicarse a fondo en el desarrollo de un producto.De las tensiones entre los mundos de la academia y la empresa, y la necesidad de construir puentes (legales, humanos y estratégicos).Lo que mueve la ciencia no es lo que mueve los negocios.La curiosidad intelectual y el beneficio económico tienen lógicas distintas. Si no lo tienes claro desde el principio, te puedes frustrar mucho.No hay un único camino hacia la comercialización.Cada caso es un mundo: licencias, spin-offs, acuerdos con empresas, servicios desde el grupo de investigación... Lo importante es conocer bien el terreno en el que te mueves.No basta con saber quién firmó el paper.La propiedad intelectual es clave. ¿Quién es el dueño real de esa idea? ¿Quién tiene derecho a explotarla? ¿Se ha firmado algo sin leer la letra pequeña?Cuidado con las colaboraciones industria-academia.A veces se firman acuerdos que impiden publicar, justo lo que más le interesa al investigador. No firmes nada sin entender las consecuencias.Decide desde el principio hasta dónde quieres llegar.¿Quieres olvidarte tras la primera publicación? ¿O participar activamente en la llegada al mercado? Ambas son opciones válidas, pero mejor aclararlo antes.Del laboratorio al mercado hay un largo desarrollo.La investigación básica no basta. Hay que pensar en escalado, legislación, distribución, viabilidad económica... y eso no lo hace cualquiera.El mercado puede no existir (todavía).Muchas veces, una gran idea no cuaja hasta que cambian las condiciones técnicas, sociales o culturales. Lo importante es saber esperar o adaptarse.Si nunca te has planteado la posibilidad de comercializar tu investigación, quizá este episodio te abra la mente.Y si ya lo has intentado pero no ha funcionado, quizás sea hora de cambiar la perspectiva: mirar el mercado primero, y luego investigar.¿Quieres seguir hablando de esto?Únete a nuestra comunidad de investigadores en WhatsApp:

I interviewed 60 Brits to debunk one of psychology's greatest myths. Priming is one of the best-known biases in behavioural science. Kahneman mentions it 35 times in his best-selling book Thinking Fast and Slow. And yet, I'm not convinced it really works. In five separate experiments, I tested it. Does priming work, or is it a myth?  The studies:  Authenticity study: https://ibb.co/5W14DM2N Creativity study: https://ibb.co/FbxxNMDf Guilty study: https://ibb.co/XrTLXrY4 Anchoring + priming study: https://ibb.co/99LLw7G9 Reading time study: https://ibb.co/LDYc18yF ---  Subscribe to the (free) Nudge Newsletter: https://nudge.ck.page/profile Connect on LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/phill-agnew-22213187/ Watch Nudge on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@nudgepodcast/ Learn more about Voxpopme: https://www.voxpopme.com/ ---  Sources:  Bargh, J.

Bacterial vaginosis (BV) was long considered not to be a sexually transmitted infection (STI), and treatment was only for women to bear. That was the convention at least until Catriona Bradshaw and her team at the Melbourne Sexual Health Centre published their groundbreaking clinical trial results earlier this year, demonstrating that treating male partners of women with BV prevented recurrence in those women. In this episode of Communicable, hosts Angela Huttner and Annie Joseph welcome back Bradshaw to discuss her trial's design, results, and clinical implications—with some guidelines already updated to include male partners in BV treatment regimens. The conversation also explores the complexities of BV diagnosis, the challenges of trial execution in general, and future research directions.This episode was edited by Kathryn Hostettler and peer reviewed by Arjana Zerja (Mother Theresa University Hospital Centre, Tirana, Albania)ReferencesVodstricil LA, et al.

Der Klimawandel bringt auch in Deutschland mehr Hitze und damit Gesundheitsrisiken. Wie können wir uns anpassen? Mehr Hitzetage im Sommer, häufigere Hitzewellen - und schon in 25 Jahren Temperaturen wie am Mittelmeer? Der Klimawandel wirkt sich auch auf Nordeuropa aus. Und das ist offenbar selbst für junge, gesunde Menschen nicht egal. Neueren Forschungen zufolge werden kritische Werte viel früher erreicht als lange angenommen.

Im Gespräch mit Host Korinna Hennig berichtet sie von einem wichtigen Experiment in der Hitzekammer und erklärt, warum die "gefühlte Temperatur" auch ein wissenschaftlich belastbarer Wert sein kann.

In this video, Dr. Ettensohn examines the growing claim that Narcissistic Personality Disorder (NPD) is almost entirely genetic, offering a critical, clinically grounded reflection on what the current science actually supports—and where it falls short. He discusses how genetic contributions to personality traits are often misunderstood, and why claims of “hardwired narcissism” oversimplify a profoundly complex developmental process. Drawing from empirical research, neurodevelopmental theory, and clinical observation, Dr. Ettensohn explores how narcissistic pathology emerges not simply from temperament, but from early relational experiences—especially chronic emotional neglect, inconsistent attunement, and conditional regard. He addresses how brain plasticity, diagnostic controversies, and the misunderstood vulnerable core of NPD further complicate the genetic narrative.

What do you get when a group of podiatrists team up with a Barbie doll collector? A research paper published in the journal PLOS ONE that looks into 65 years of Barbie history. The idea started when one of the authors was watching the 2023 Barbie movie. In it, there was a scene when Barbie steps out of her high heels and her feet flatten for the first time. For those of us who grew up with Barbie, we know that her feet used to be in a permanent tip-toe position. The researchers found a Barbie collector and analysed 2750 of their Barbie dolls from her debut in 1959 to June 2024 with a specific tool designed to measure foot posture of the doll. They found that over the decades Barbie has moved from a world of endless stilettos to one where flats are more common, especially when she's on a job. Just like many women today, Barbie now 'chooses' her shoes based on what she needs to do. If she's skateboarding, working as an astronaut, or heading to a medical shift, it's flats all the way. But when it's time to party, those heels come back out. In the 1960s, all Barbies stood on tip-toes, ready for a night out. But by the 2020s, only 40 percent of Barbies had that high-heel-ready posture. That change aligns with Barbie's expanding résumé. From being an astronaut in 1965 to a surgeon, Barbie has boldly entered fields once dominated by men. As women gained more workplace rights and opportunities, so did Barbie. In fact, by 2024, 33 percent of Barbies represent real-world jobs. And with that shift came new footwear more functional, more stable, and more diverse. The study found that Barbie's foot posture reflected more than just job roles. It mirrored broader changes in representation and inclusion. For example, Barbie dolls with prosthetic limbs wore flat shoes to reflect stability, but intriguingly, some dolls in wheelchairs still wore high heels, reminding us that fashion and function can coexist, and that breaking stereotypes isn't always about ditching glamour. The topic of high heels often comes with warnings - about bunions, knee pain, back problems. But here's the twist: these issues are also common in people who don't wear heels. And most research into high-heel risks involves people who rarely wear them or wear them during high-impact activities. There's a lot we don't know about the long-term effects of regularly wearing high heels. What we do know is this: they slow your walking pace and challenge your balance. But risk varies depending on heel height, shoe design, and individual lifestyle. Ultimately, Barbie reflects us. She's not just a plastic fashionista, she's a cultural mirror. Her shift from stilettos to flats isn't about turning her back on glamour. It's about making purposeful choices. Barbie wears heels when she's feeling fabulous, and sneakers when she's saving the world. And maybe that's the real message here: women can and do make thoughtful decisions about their footwear based on comfort, identity, and function.

Chimpanzees use medicinal plants for first aid and hygieneResearchers have observed wild chimpanzees seeking out particular plants, including ones known to have medicinal value, and using them to treat wounds on themselves and others. They also used plants to clean themselves after sex and defecation. Elodie Freymann from Oxford University lived with the chimpanzees in Uganda over eight months and published this research in the journal Frontiers in Ecology and Evolution.Why this evolutionary dead end makes understanding extinction even more difficult540 million years ago, there was an explosion of animal diversity called the Cambrian explosion, when nature experimented with, and winnowed many animal forms into just a few. A new discovery of one of the unlucky ones that didn't make it has deepened the mystery of why some went extinct, because despite its strangeness, it shows adaptations common to many of the survivors. Joseph Moysiuk, curator of paleontology and geology at the Manitoba Museum helped identify the fossil, and published on it in Royal Society Open Science A quantum computer demonstrates its worth by solving an impossible puzzleImagine taking a sudoku puzzle, handing bits of it to several people, putting them in separate rooms, and asking them to solve the puzzle. A quantum computer using the weird phenomenon of “entanglement” was able to do something analogous to this, which serves as evidence that it really is exploiting quantum strangeness, and could be used for more practical purposes. David Stephen, a physicist at the quantum computing company Quantinuum, and colleagues from the University of Boulder published on this finding in Physical Review Letters.Roadkill shows that most mammals have fluorescent furA researcher who used a range of mammal and marsupial animals killed by vehicles, has demonstrated that the fur of many of these animals exhibit biofluorescence – the ability to absorb light and re-emit it in different wavelengths. They were able to identify some of the fluorescent chemicals, but don't know why these animals would glow like this. Zoologist Linda Reinhold observed bright colours such as yellow, blue, green and pink on Australian animals like the bandicoot, wallaby, tree-kangaroo, possums and quolls. Their research was published in the journal PLOS One.Science suggests humans are not built for the information ageWe are living in the age of information. In fact, we're drowning in it. Modern technology has put vast amounts of information at our fingertips, and it turns out that science is showing that humans just aren't that good at processing all that data, making us vulnerable to bias, misinformation and manipulation.Producer Amanda Buckiewicz spoke to:Friedrich Götz, an Assistant Professor of Psychology at the University of British Columbia.Vasileia Karasavva, a PhD student in the Department of Psychology at the University of British Columbia.Timothy Caulfield, professor in the Faculty of Law and the School of Public Health at the University of Alberta, and was the Canada Research Chair in Health Law and Policy from 2002 - 2023.Eugina Leung, an assistant professor of marketing at the A.B.

Let's unpack something most midlife women are totally missing – protein for Menopause Hormone Support. Are you feeling moody, low-energy, or constantly craving carbs in midlife? It might not just be your hormones—it could be your protein intake… and its effect on your hormones.  In today's episode, know how protein connects hormones and why your daily meals might be the hormonal tune-up you didn't know you needed. Cortisol & Protein: The Stress-Balance Dance Cortisol levels increase in response to low blood sugar or stress, which are common when meals are high-carb and low-protein. A high-protein diet blunts cortisol spikes post-meal and improves the body's stress response.   Insulin: Protein's Role in Glucose Control Protein stimulates insulin—but in a modulated way that helps with blood sugar stability, not spikes. In midlife and beyond, protein helps preserve insulin sensitivity, especially when combined with resistance training.   Ghrelin & Leptin: Protein vs. Cravings Ghrelin = your hunger hormone. Protein is the most effective macronutrient at suppressing ghrelin. Leptin = satiety hormone. Protein helps regulate leptin sensitivity over time. The Protein theory goes that if the body doesn't get enough protein it will message you it wants more. The problem is the message is not clear. It's just a hunger signal. You're left to figure it out or deal with the tempting cookies, cakes, and chocolate hidden in the icebox.    Estrogen: From Muscle Protector to MIA Estrogen is an anabolic hormone—it supports muscle maintenance, insulin sensitivity, and metabolic efficiency. As estrogen declines in perimenopause and menopause, its natural support of muscle protein synthesis (MPS) disappears. With estrogen no longer stimulating MPS, women must now rely on two primary tools to stimulate it: Resistance training Adequate high-quality protein (especially leucine-rich) “Estrogen enhances the anabolic response of skeletal muscle to both feeding and resistance exercise, and its loss results in anabolic resistance.”   More Truths About Protein for Menopause Hormone Support Muscle Protein Synthesis declines with age—and even more so without estrogen.  This is why RDA-level protein (0.8g/kg) is not sufficient in midlife - a statement agreed on by Registered Dietitians, longevity and geriatric experts alike.  Experts (ISSN) recommend ≥1.6–2.2g/kg of body weight for active women in midlife to maintain muscle, metabolism, and hormonal resilience.   The Anabolic vs. Catabolic Hormone Framework Anabolic Hormones = Build & Repair These are hormones that stimulate tissue growth and regeneration: Testosterone – promotes muscle growth, strength, libido Growth Hormone (GH) – supports repair, recovery, and fat metabolism Estrogen – helps preserve lean mass, regulates insulin sensitivity Insulin – can be anabolic by shuttling nutrients into cells, especially post-exercise Protein intake supports all of these by providing the amino acid building blocks needed for anabolic activity. Catabolic Hormones = Break DownThese are hormones that promote the breakdown of muscle, tissue, and energy stores: Cortisol – breaks down muscle for glucose during stress Epinephrine/Norepinephrine – mobilize energy in fight-or-flight Chronically elevated catabolic hormones + low protein = muscle loss, cravings, fatigue. Fat Storage Insulin isn't actually a catabolic hormone but it does increase fat storage. You can't be burning fat if insulin is high, as is true for many women. Focusing on boosting the anabolic hormones is the game-changer.    Other Episodes You Might Like: Previous Episode - Can We Just Stop the Self Sabotage to Feel Your Best Ever  Next Episode - How and Why to Consider Meditation in Menopause More Like This - Where Protein Recommendations for Women Come From?   Resources:  This episode is brought to you by Flipping 50 Longevity Pro Protein & Fiber, the simplest ingredient, cleanest, third-party-tested protein powder formulated specifically for midlife metabolism.

Parmi tous les sports que l'on peut pratiquer, le tennis ressort souvent comme l'un des plus bénéfiques pour la santé globale. Et ce n'est pas qu'une impression : plusieurs études scientifiques appuient cette idée.Prenons une étude marquante publiée en 2018 dans le British Journal of Sports Medicine. Menée dans le cadre de la Copenhagen City Heart Study, elle a suivi plus de 8 500 personnes pendant environ 25 ans, en comparant les effets de différents sports sur l'espérance de vie. Résultat : les joueurs réguliers de tennis vivent en moyenne 9,7 ans de plus que les personnes sédentaires. C'est plus que les nageurs (+3,4 ans), les coureurs (+3,2 ans) ou les cyclistes (+3,7 ans). Pourquoi un tel écart ? Parce que le tennis combine les bienfaits de l'activité physique intense avec ceux des interactions sociales. Or, la recherche montre que l'isolement social est un facteur de risque comparable au tabagisme ou à l'obésité.Sur le plan physiologique, le tennis fait appel à tout le corps. Il renforce le système cardiovasculaire en améliorant l'endurance et la capacité respiratoire. Lors d'un match, la fréquence cardiaque peut facilement atteindre 70 à 85 % de la fréquence maximale, ce qui correspond à une activité aérobique intense, excellente pour le cœur. Il stimule également les muscles, notamment ceux des jambes, des bras, du tronc et du dos, grâce aux mouvements de course, de frappe, de rotation et d'équilibre.Mais ce n'est pas tout. Le tennis améliore la coordination œil-main, la concentration, la rapidité de réaction et même la mémoire, notamment à travers l'anticipation et la stratégie de jeu. Ces aspects ont un effet protecteur sur les fonctions cognitives, en particulier chez les personnes âgées.Sur le plan mental, le tennis est aussi un excellent régulateur de stress. Une étude publiée dans PLoS One en 2020 a révélé que les sports de raquette, comme le tennis, étaient associés à une meilleure santé mentale que les sports individuels. Ils réduisent les symptômes d'anxiété, améliorent l'estime de soi et favorisent un meilleur sommeil.Enfin, le tennis est un sport qui peut se pratiquer à tout âge, avec des règles adaptables et une intensité modulable. Il offre ainsi une activité physique complète, durable et socialement engageante — autant d'éléments qui expliquent pourquoi, selon la science, le tennis est l'un des sports les plus sains au monde.

Listen in as Real Science Radio host Fred Williams and co-host Doug McBurney review and update some of Bob Enyart's legendary list of not so old things! From Darwin's Finches to opals forming in months to man's genetic diversity in 200 generations, to carbon 14 everywhere it's not supposed to be (including in diamonds and dinosaur bones!), scientific observations simply defy the claim that the earth is billions of years old. Real science demands the dismissal of the alleged million and billion year ages asserted by the ungodly and the foolish.     * Finches Adapt in 17 Years, Not 2.3 Million: Charles Darwin's finches are claimed to have taken 2,300,000 years to diversify from an initial species blown onto the Galapagos Islands. Yet individuals from a single finch species on a U.S. Bird Reservation in the Pacific were introduced to a group of small islands 300 miles away and in at most 17 years, like Darwin's finches, they had diversified their beaks, related muscles, and behavior to fill various ecological niches. Hear about this also at rsr.org/spetner.  * Finches Speciate in Two Generations vs Two Million Years for Darwin's Birds?  Darwin's finches on the Galapagos Islands are said to have diversified into 14 species over a period of two million years. But in 2017 the journal Science reported a newcomer to the Island which within two generations spawned a reproductively isolated new species. In another instance as documented by Lee Spetner, a hundred birds of the same finch species introduced to an island cluster a 1,000 kilometers from Galapagos diversified into species with the typical variations in beak sizes, etc. "If this diversification occurred in less than seventeen years," Dr. Spetner asks, "why did Darwin's Galapagos finches [as claimed by evolutionists] have to take two million years?" * Opals Can Form in "A Few Months" And Don't Need 100,000 Years: A leading authority on opals, Allan W. Eckert, observed that, "scientific papers and textbooks have told that the process of opal formation requires tens of thousands of years, perhaps hundreds of thousands... Not true." A 2011 peer-reviewed paper in a geology journal from Australia, where almost all the world's opal is found, reported on the: "new timetable for opal formation involving weeks to a few months and not the hundreds of thousands of years envisaged by the conventional weathering model." (And apparently, per a 2019 report from Entomology Today, opals can even form around insects!) More knowledgeable scientists resist the uncritical, group-think insistence on false super-slow formation rates (as also for manganese nodules, gold veins, stone, petroleum, canyons and gullies, and even guts, all below). Regarding opals, Darwinian bias led geologists to long ignore possible quick action, as from microbes, as a possible explanation for these mineraloids. For both in nature and in the lab, opals form rapidly, not even in 10,000 years, but in weeks. See this also from creationists by a geologist, a paleobiochemist, and a nuclear chemist. * Blue Eyes Originated Not So Long Ago: Not a million years ago, nor a hundred thousand years ago, but based on a peer-reviewed paper in Human Genetics, a press release at Science Daily reports that, "research shows that people with blue eyes have a single, common ancestor. A team at the University of Copenhagen have tracked down a genetic mutation which took place 6-10,000 years ago and is the cause of the eye color of all blue-eyed humans alive on the planet today." * Adding the Entire Universe to our List of Not So Old Things? Based on March 2019 findings from Hubble, Nobel laureate Adam Riess of the Space Telescope Science Institute and his co-authors in the Astrophysical Journal estimate that the universe is about a billion years younger than previously thought! Then in September 2019 in the journal Science, the age dropped precipitously to as low as 11.4 billion years! Of course, these measurements also further squeeze the canonical story of the big bang chronology with its many already existing problems including the insufficient time to "evolve" distant mature galaxies, galaxy clusters, superclusters, enormous black holes, filaments, bubbles, walls, and other superstructures. So, even though the latest estimates are still absurdly too old (Google: big bang predictions, and click on the #1 ranked article, or just go on over there to rsr.org/bb), regardless, we thought we'd plop the whole universe down on our List of Not So Old Things!   * After the Soft Tissue Discoveries, NOW Dino DNA: When a North Carolina State University paleontologist took the Tyrannosaurus Rex photos to the right of original biological material, that led to the 2016 discovery of dinosaur DNA, So far researchers have also recovered dinosaur blood vessels, collagen, osteocytes, hemoglobin, red blood cells, and various proteins. As of May 2018, twenty-six scientific journals, including Nature, Science, PNAS, PLoS One, Bone, and Journal of Vertebrate Paleontology, have confirmed the discovery of biomaterial fossils from many dinosaurs! Organisms including T. Rex, hadrosaur, titanosaur, triceratops, Lufengosaur, mosasaur, and Archaeopteryx, and many others dated, allegedly, even hundreds of millions of years old, have yielded their endogenous, still-soft biological material. See the web's most complete listing of 100+ journal papers (screenshot, left) announcing these discoveries at bflist.rsr.org and see it in layman's terms at rsr.org/soft. * Rapid Stalactites, Stalagmites, Etc.: A construction worker in 1954 left a lemonade bottle in one of Australia's famous Jenolan Caves. By 2011 it had been naturally transformed into a stalagmite (below, right). Increasing scientific knowledge is arguing for rapid cave formation (see below, Nat'l Park Service shrinks Carlsbad Caverns formation estimates from 260M years, to 10M, to 2M, to it "depends"). Likewise, examples are growing of rapid formations with typical chemical make-up (see bottle, left) of classic stalactites and stalagmites including: - in Nat'l Geo the Carlsbad Caverns stalagmite that rapidly covered a bat - the tunnel stalagmites at Tennessee's Raccoon Mountain - hundreds of stalactites beneath the Lincoln Memorial - those near Gladfelter Hall at Philadelphia's Temple University (send photos to Bob@rsr.org) - hundreds of stalactites at Australia's zinc mine at Mt. Isa.   - and those beneath Melbourne's Shrine of Remembrance. * Most Human Mutations Arose in 200 Generations: From Adam until Real Science Radio, in only 200 generations! The journal Nature reports The Recent Origin of Most Human Protein-coding Variants. As summarized by geneticist co-author Joshua Akey, "Most of the mutations that we found arose in the last 200 generations or so" (the same number previously published by biblical creationists). Another 2012 paper, in the American Journal of Physical Anthropology (Eugenie Scott's own field) on High mitochondrial mutation rates, shows that one mitochondrial DNA mutation occurs every other generation, which, as creationists point out, indicates that mtEve would have lived about 200 generations ago. That's not so old! * National Geographic's Not-So-Old Hard-Rock Canyon at Mount St. Helens: As our List of Not So Old Things (this web page) reveals, by a kneejerk reaction evolutionary scientists assign ages of tens or hundreds of thousands of years (or at least just long enough to contradict Moses' chronology in Genesis.) However, with closer study, routinely, more and more old ages get revised downward to fit the world's growing scientific knowledge. So the trend is not that more information lengthens ages, but rather, as data replaces guesswork, ages tend to shrink until they are consistent with the young-earth biblical timeframe. Consistent with this observation, the May 2000 issue of National Geographic quotes the U.S. Forest Service's scientist at Mount St. Helens, Peter Frenzen, describing the canyon on the north side of the volcano. "You'd expect a hard-rock canyon to be thousands, even hundreds of thousands of years old. But this was cut in less than a decade." And as for the volcano itself, while again, the kneejerk reaction of old-earthers would be to claim that most geologic features are hundreds of thousands or millions of years old, the atheistic National Geographic magazine acknowledges from the evidence that Mount St. Helens, the volcanic mount, is only about 4,000 years old! See below and more at rsr.org/mount-st-helens. * Mount St. Helens Dome Ten Years Old not 1.7 Million: Geochron Laboratories of Cambridge, Mass., using potassium-argon and other radiometric techniques claims the rock sample they dated, from the volcano's dome, solidified somewhere between 340,000 and 2.8 million years ago. However photographic evidence and historical reports document the dome's formation during the 1980s, just ten years prior to the samples being collected. With the age of this rock known, radiometric dating therefore gets the age 99.99999% wrong. * Devils Hole Pupfish Isolated Not for 13,000 Years But for 100: Secular scientists default to knee-jerk, older-than-Bible-age dates. However, a tiny Mojave desert fish is having none of it. Rather than having been genetically isolated from other fish for 13,000 years (which would make this small school of fish older than the Earth itself), according to a paper in the journal Nature, actual measurements of mutation rates indicate that the genetic diversity of these Pupfish could have been generated in about 100 years, give or take a few. * Polystrates like Spines and Rare Schools of Fossilized Jellyfish: Previously, seven sedimentary layers in Wisconsin had been described as taking a million years to form. And because jellyfish have no skeleton, as Charles Darwin pointed out, it is rare to find them among fossils. But now, reported in the journal Geology, a school of jellyfish fossils have been found throughout those same seven layers. So, polystrate fossils that condense the time of strata deposition from eons to hours or months, include: - Jellyfish in central Wisconsin were not deposited and fossilized over a million years but during a single event quick enough to trap a whole school. (This fossil school, therefore, taken as a unit forms a polystrate fossil.) Examples are everywhere that falsify the claims of strata deposition over millions of years. - Countless trilobites buried in astounding three dimensionality around the world are meticulously recovered from limestone, much of which is claimed to have been deposited very slowly. Contrariwise, because these specimens were buried rapidly in quickly laid down sediments, they show no evidence of greater erosion on their upper parts as compared to their lower parts. - The delicacy of radiating spine polystrates, like tadpole and jellyfish fossils, especially clearly demonstrate the rapidity of such strata deposition. - A second school of jellyfish, even though they rarely fossilized, exists in another locale with jellyfish fossils in multiple layers, in Australia's Brockman Iron Formation, constraining there too the rate of strata deposition. By the way, jellyfish are an example of evolution's big squeeze. Like galaxies evolving too quickly,

Mental health information on social media can be both revelatory and misleading. How do clinicians and their patients make sense of it?TikTok and other social media sites are full of mental health content—often short, grabby, first-person videos detailing symptoms for conditions like ADHD and autism. But what does this mean for teens and young adults who spend hours a day scrolling?A new study published in PLOS One analyzes the 100 most viewed TikTok videos about ADHD to assess both how accurate they are and how young people respond to them. Researchers found that about half of the videos were inaccurate or missing key context, and that the more TikToks young adults watched, the less critical they were of the content.For some, watching social videos about mental health conditions led them to better understand themselves and eventually get a proper diagnosis and treatment. For others it made them consider if they have conditions they don't meet the diagnostic criteria for.Host Flora Lichtman talks with the lead author of the ADHD TikTok study, Vasileia Karasavva, a PhD Student in clinical psychology at the University of British Columbia; and Dr. Jennifer Katzenstein, director of psychology, neuropsychology, and social work at Johns Hopkins All Children's Hospital in St. Petersburg, Florida.Transcripts for each segment will be available after the show airs on sciencefriday.com.  Subscribe to this podcast.

Ever diagnosed yourself with a mental health disorder based on a TikTok video? If so, you're not alone. "I personally don't think that there's anything more human than wanting to understand yourself and wanting to understand your own experiences," says Vasileia Karasavva. Vasileia is the lead author of a paper published Wednesday in the journal PLOS One that gets into why this kind of self-diagnosis can be such a double-edged sword.Listen to every episode of Short Wave sponsor-free and support our work at NPR by signing up for Short Wave+ at plus.npr.org/shortwave.Learn more about sponsor message choices: podcastchoices.com/adchoicesNPR Privacy Policy

Big birds with bitty brains are still kind of brightWe've learned a lot about the remarkable intelligence of birds like crows and parrots, but not much work has been done on large flightless birds. A new study that explored the problem-solving abilities of emus, ostriches and rheas suggests that some of these birdy behemoths have impressive cognition too. In a first-of-its-kind study, a team led by University of Bristol's Fay Clark trained the birds to use puzzles to get food, and they found that the rheas and emus were able to solve the puzzle easily, though the ostriches did not. The research was published in the journal Scientific Reports.Cows jump over the moon — maybe humans should tooResearchers have done a lot of work to try and understand how astronauts can best prepare for and compensate for the muscle and bone atrophy that they will experience after long periods in zero G. A new study, led by Marco Chiaberge at Johns Hopkins University, suggests that a workout that includes jumping might be beneficial. The researchers found that by training mice to repeatedly jump up from one level to another increased their knee cartilage thickness by 26 per cent. The research was published in the journal npj Microgravity.Mary had a little lamb – 11,000 years agoSheep are among the animals that humans domesticated first, in the middle east during the dawn of agriculture. A new genetic study of hundreds of ancient sheep remains, which date across 12 millennia, is shedding light on the intertwined history of sheep and humans. The work, led by geneticist Dan Bradley of Trinity College Dublin, tells the story of how the sheep's domestication not only gave us clothes but also milk and meat which fueled our spread around the world for thousands of years, and how humans molded sheep by selecting them for colour and wool. The research was published in the journal Science.A tiny great ape lived in Europe 12 million years agoThe tiniest member of the great ape family — the group that today includes the chimpanzees, orangutans, bonobos, gorillas, and us — has been identified from fossils found in Germany. Nearly 12 million years ago, the 10-kilogram animal would have shared its environment with another, larger great ape species, something researchers didn't think was possible. David Begun, a paleoanthropologist at the University of Toronto, said its two fossilized teeth and a single knee bone indicated that Buronius manfredschmidi had its own ecological niche high up in the trees. The study was published in the journal PLOS One. The recipe for finding life on other planetsIn the last two decades we've discovered literally thousands of planets orbiting nearby stars. And our technology has advanced to the point where we're on the cusp of being able to investigate whether there's life on those planets. We speak to astrophysicist Lisa Kaltenegger, the founder of Cornell University's Carl Sagan Institute, about her work trying to answer that question, and her book Alien Earths: Planet Hunting in the Cosmos.

We are talking about our own work this week, focusing on our latest research into Europe's foremost colubrid, the Aesculapian snake. We chat about radio-tracking these beasts and dive into some of the media coverage this study has received. Finally, we touch on some good conservation news from the Zoological Society of London.

The guys return to Everglades National Park, again looking for a predator that Daniel wants to get too close to: the American Crocodile (Crocodylus acutus). Listen in as Daniel shares some research, busts croc-related myths, and Steve probably gets a little too excited about how crocs deal with salt water. Bill doesn't have much to say, but he's there, too. Enjoy!This episode was recorded on January 7, 2025 on the Bear Lake Trail in Everglades National Park. The last bit where the guys find the croc was also recorded in the Park, at the Flamingo Marina.Episode Notes and LinksAs promised during the episode, Steve is looking into how crocs process and excrete excess salt. As soon as he gets to the bottom of it, we'll share it here.In the meantime, here's what Bill found when he asked DeepSeek: Crocodiles, like many other marine and estuarine reptiles, have specialized salt glands to help them excrete excess salt from their bodies. These glands, known as salt glands or lingual glands (located on their tongues), actively transport salt ions (primarily sodium and chloride) from their bloodstream into the gland ducts. The salt is then excreted as a concentrated saline solution, which is expelled from the body.Crocodiles do not chemically change the salt (sodium chloride) into something else. Instead, they filter and concentrate it, allowing them to maintain proper electrolyte balance in their bodies, especially when living in saltwater environments. This process is crucial for osmoregulation, as it prevents dehydration and helps them survive in both freshwater and saltwater habitats.In summary, crocodiles excrete salt in its original form (sodium chloride) but in a highly concentrated solution, rather than transforming it into a different substance.Sponsors and Ways to Support UsGumleaf Boots, USA (free shipping for patrons)Thank you to Always Wandering Art (Website and Etsy Shop) for providing the artwork for many of our episodes.Support us on Patreon.Check out the Field Guides merch at our Teespring store.

Sitting is a big part of modern life. Many people work at a desk all day, have long commutes, or at least enjoy some time relaxing on the couch at the end of the day. But sitting has gained a reputation as being bad for us—with some going so far as to call it “the new smoking.”A recent study in the journal PLOS One sheds more light on just how much sitting is too much, using a cohort of more than 1,000 young adults, including 730 twins. The results showed that sitting for more than about eight and a half hours per day is linked to a higher total cholesterol and body mass index than sitting for less than that amount of time.But there's good news: 30 minutes of vigorous exercise per day may counter the negative effects that come from long days of sitting.Joining guest host Kathleen Davis to discuss the findings are two of the study authors: Dr. Chandra Reynolds, professor in the Institute of Behavioral Genetics at the University of Colorado, Boulder; and Ryan Bruellman, PhD candidate in genetics, genomics, and bioinformatics at the University of California, Riverside.Transcripts for each segment will be available after the show airs on sciencefriday.com.  Subscribe to this podcast.
