Throughout history people have been keen to find the answer to immortality. It's now commonly accepted that eternal life is not possible. Yet, somewhere deep in the ocean, a tiny fingernail-sized creature nicknamed the “immortal jellyfish” might be able to cast new light on the human aging process. A new study published in August 2022 in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences shows the results from a team of researchers who have mapped the jellyfish's genetic code to find the secret to its immortality. They found that the immortal jellyfish has twice more copies of genes associated with DNA repair and protection than a regular jellyfish. They can produce greater amounts of protective and restorative proteins. Why is the "immortal jellyfish" immortal? Will humans be able to regenerate like jellyfish?

The unlawful termination of journalist Antoinette Lattouf by the national broadcaster, which resulted in high-profile proceedings in the Federal Court, has shone a spotlight on workplace policies for social media use by employees, and the need for such frameworks to be fit for purpose. In this episode of The Lawyers Weekly Show, host Jerome Doraisamy speaks with McCabes principal Melini Pillay about her journey from being a prosecutor to representing defendants in employment and safety matters, how her background in criminal law offers perspective for her current work, the difficulties of managing five generations in the workforce for businesses, and what happened in the Lattouf v ABC proceedings. Pillay also discusses what the court found and the employment law implications moving forward from these proceedings, the difficulties inherent with striking the right balance with a social media policy, what might constitute bringing one's employer into disrepute, the questions that employers should be asking as a starting point, why policies need to appreciate the prevalence of and place for social media in the modern landscape, and practical steps to take in ensuring the right balance is struck when revamping workplace policies.

Proceedings at Dublin's High Court have now drawn to a close in the fallout from a handshake deal gone sour. At stake – the centuries old 750-acre Barne Estate in Tipperary, which both Magnier and Regan lay claim to. Befitting of a dramatic trial, the final days saw Maurice Regan take the stand, batting back perceived slights on his character while seeking to justify his own pointed remarks.

The Dáil broke for its summer recess ahead of the weekend. TDs won't return to the chamber until the middle of September. Proceedings in the chamber led to heated debate between opposition and Government on the cost of living on the last day, as you heard in our news last week. So how has the Government done in its first 59 days it sat in the Dáil? To discuss this further, Alan Morrissey was joined by, Timmy Dooley, Tulla-based Fianna Fáil Minister of State and Donna McGettigan, Shannon-based Sinn Féin TD.

Dr Ajay K Nooka from Winship Cancer Institute of Emory University in Atlanta, Georgia, and Dr Paul G Richardson from Dana-Farber Cancer Institute in Boston, Massachusetts, discuss recent updates on available and novel treatment strategies for multiple myeloma.

Für viele Menschen ist die Beziehung zu ihren Geschwistern die längste ihres Lebens - wie wirkt sie sich auf die Persönlichkeit und die mentale Gesundheit aus? Die Beziehung zu den Geschwistern ist für viele Menschen die längste ihres Lebens - meistens sogar länger als die zu den Eltern oder Partnerinnen und Partnern. Welchen Einfluss diese Beziehung auf die Entwicklung der Persönlichkeit und auf die mentale Gesundheit hat, das untersucht die Geschwisterforschung. Die Ergebnisse bzw. deren Interpretationen waren in den vergangenen Jahrzehnten allerdings oftmals widersprüchlich und schwer durchschaubar. Im Gespräch bringen Host Korinna Hennig und Autorin Beke Schulmann einige Mythen auf den Tisch, die sich seit Jahrzehnten rund um Geschwisterkinder ranken: Das älteste Kind ist das vernünftige, das sich auch um die kleineren kümmert, das Sandwichkind mogelt sich so durch und das Nesthäckchen ist besonders behütet und verwöhnt - von Einzelkindern ganz zu schweigen! Aber: Ist überhaupt etwas dran an diesen Mythen? Was weiß die Wissenschaft? Welchen Einfluss hat es auf unsere psychische Gesundheit und unsere Persönlichkeit, ob wir Geschwister haben, wie viele, in welchem Abstand - und an welcher Stelle in dieser Rangfolge wir selbst stehen? Und wie wird das überhaupt untersucht?

On today's show, Alex and Calvin continue their series on “AI” and public discourse, focusing this time on the increasing proliferation of AI applications in government writing, policy, and social media. We characterize the second Trump administration as the "first totally post-AI presidency," which has adopted the "dumbest, most unreflective, most uncritical approach" to AI's use in communication, research, and analysis. Throughout the show, we emphasize how AI technologies are themselves rhetorical artifacts at the same time as they so often produce “bad” rhetoric, reflecting the intentions, values, and presuppositions of their creators, as well as the inherent biases of their training data and text generation models. This often results in an entry-level, overly dense writing style - often referred to as "slop" - which is almost written not to be read, but rather to fill space.We explore several concerning examples of AI's uncritical adoption by the secondTrump administration and their acolytes in the tech world. Early executive orders exhibited AI-generated formatting errors and formulaic, generic language, demonstrating a context-blind style that could lead to legal problems and erode public trust. Furthermore, the "MAHA Report" from the Office of Health and Human Services was found to fabricate studies and misrepresent findings, reflecting how large language models are "sycophantic," and can reinforce existing (often false) beliefs. Our discussion also covers Palantir's "Foundry" product, which aims to combine diverse government datasets, raising significant privacy and political concerns, especially given the political leanings of Palantir's founders. Finally, we examine xAI's Grok chatbot (run by Elon Musk), which illustrates how tech elites can exert incredible political power through direct interventions in AI tools' system prompts - which in recent months has led Grok to parrot conspiracy theories and make explicit antisemitic remarks on the public feeds of X/Twitter.Ultimately, our analyses emphasizes - once again - that these so-called “AI” technologies are not neutral; they are, in the words of Matteo Pasquinelli, "crystallization[s] of a productive social process" that "reinforce the power structure that underlies [them]," perpetuating existing inequalities. Understanding these mechanisms and engaging in what Pasquinelli terms "de-connectionism" - undoing the social and economic fabric constituting these systems - is essential for critiquing the structural factors and power dynamics that AI reproduces in public discourse.Have any questions or concerns about this episode?

In this episode, Michael speaks with Nate Dominy, the Charles Hansen Professor of Anthropology at Dartmouth College. Nate is a biological anthropologist and an evolutionary biologist, studying the behavior, ecology, and functional morphology of humans and nonhuman primates. Nate speaks with Michael about his new research program on the role of fire in promoting social cohesion among humans. Fire is argued to have played an important role in human evolutionary history, and there are multiple mechanisms that have been hypothesized for how it could promote cohesion, including its rhythmic nature (its flicker rate), and its ability to enable storytelling, which itself is known to facilitate an increased sense of belonging and togetherness. This topic is an important complement to more traditional commons and institutional studies discussed on this podcast, which largely focus on how rules and norms can promote collective action and other outcomes.   References: Nate's website: https://anthropology.dartmouth.edu/people/nathaniel-j-dominy Dunbar R.I.M., Gowlett J.A.J. 2014 Fireside chat: the impact of fire on hominin socioecology.

Our view of nature is often constrained by the idea of competition: life as a zero-sum game, where the victorious survive, and the defeated fade into extinction. But not every relationship in life is competitive! Sure, as living things, we must always be aware of our enemies, but our survival is just as closely tied to our social entanglements- our family, friends, neighbors, and communities. In a rebuttal to the hyper-competitive view of ecology, Rachel shares evidence from a growing field of botany that dares to look at how plants behave by applying social theory to their choices. There are many conversations happening among the plants of our grasslands that we haven't been hearing, and it's time to unpack the complexity of these interspecies relationships if we want to really understand how this ecosystem works.

In this episode Garth interviews Dan Ariely from Duke University in Durham, NC. Dan shares insights on motivation, fairness in the workplace, and the importance of subjective measures in understanding human interactions. He elaborates on his work during the COVID-19 pandemic and the challenges he faced, including receiving death threats. He emphasizes the role of empathy and understanding in dealing with misbeliefs and polarizing behavior. He also discusses the importance of gratitude, making the invisible visible, and creating more conducive environments for human motivation. The episode concludes with Dan's reflections on the importance of social science in addressing current global challenges. [Note. Portions of the show notes were generated by Descript AI.] Statement from Duke University April 2 2024   About the investigation of my work   Dear friends, partners, and colleagues:   After almost three years, Duke University recently concluded its investigation into my conduct as an academic and researcher. The Investigation Committee assembled by Duke's administration looked thoroughly at my work and found no evidence to support claims that I falsified data or knowingly used falsified data in general and specifically as coauthor of a 2012 paper in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences.   The Investigation Committee determined that I should have done more to prevent faulty data from being published in the 2012 paper. Hindsight is 20/20, and upon much reflection, indeed there were extra steps I could have taken to prevent such data from being published. I appreciate the opportunity to learn from this experience, and I would like to reaffirm my commitment to ensuring that my research methodologies at the Center for Advanced Hindsight remain in lockstep with values of integrity, transparency, and accuracy.   I am happy to say I've put this matter behind me and resumed my work at Duke at full speed. To my dear friends and colleagues: Thank you for your continued support.   With all my love and enthusiasm for what lies ahead,   Dan Replications of the 2012 study in question: "How Pledges Reduce Dishonesty: The Role of Involvement and Identification"     Paper: https://tinyurl.com/ycpumrtk     Video discussion with some of the co-authors of the paper https://youtu.be/B_AbAJHRw54 "I Solemnly Swear I'm Up To Good: A Megastudy Investigating the Effectiveness of Honesty Oaths on Curbing Dishonesty":     Paper: https://tinyurl.com/53mbn5ws     Video discussion with a co-author of the paper: https://youtu.be/AjQ58irCZGg

We are in the thick of multiple sports seasons: the NBA finals are happening, and baseball and soccer are in full swing. For devoted fans, emotions can run pretty high during a game. Cognitive anthropologist Dimitris Xygalatas has long been fascinated by that intensity — and how uniform it can be across fans. So, he and fellow researchers at the University of Connecticut decided to look into what exactly makes fans so deeply connected to their team and to fellow supporters. It turns out that connection may have less to do with actual gameplay and more to do with rituals. Their research was recently published in the journal Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences.Questions about sports science?
