Her newsletter, Letters from an American, has over 1.1 million subscribers, and for good reason. And you'll see it here — she is discussing perhaps the most important case the Supreme Court has ever decided, Dred Scott. It's not an exaggeration to say that the Court's decision sparked the Civil War.There is so much difficult history to master to understand the case, and I've never heard it better explained than here. I mean, I've taught Dred Scott 20 times, but never with the incisive historical background she provides just in the first few minutes of the podcast. Many people gloss over the decision — it's a bit complicated and it's SO old. But it's really important, and Prof. Richardson helps break it down into something absolutely understandable.Dred Scott v. Sandford occupies a unique place in the annals of American history — that of the Supreme Court's worst decision. Ever. Disgracing the very idea of democracy, the 1857 ruling stripped freed slaves of citizenship, invalidated the Missouri Compromise of 1820, and officially defined slaves as “property” under the Fifth Amendment. While the decision is primarily known for its racial animus, constitutional hogwash, and egregious holdings, it also had the adverse effect of splitting the court. Indeed, in a sign of just how divisive Dred Scott was, nine separate opinions were issued — one by each justice. We also cover the reactions to the decision, including the remarkable views of Frederick Douglass.And in many ways, the Court's deep schism reflected a broader reality; Dred Scott ripped apart an already-divided country, pushing the United States towards a civil war that seemed all the more imminent with each passing day. I can't wait for you to listen to this.Much of the episode is available to everyone, on any podcast platform. Paid subscribers have access to the rest of the episode, along with written materials about the case (I've summarized the decision and provided an abridged version of it, along with the full written decision). Paid subscribers also will receive a bonus podcast discussion with Professor Richardson.

Leithscéal ón Uachtarán faoi "ráiteas fánach" faoi shaineolaí. President Michael D. Tá an tUachtarán Michael D. Higgins has apologized to Professor Louise Richardson for a "careless statement" he made which was published in a newspaper yesterday. Higgins tar éis leithscéal a ghabháil leis an Ollamh Louise Richardson faoi "ráiteas míchúramach" a rinne sé a foilsíodh i nuachtán inné. In the article the President said that Ireland was "running thin" during a dangerous period, at a time when the country's foreign policy is "going downstream." San alt dúirt an tUachtarán go raibh Éirinn "ag rith ar thanaí" le linn tréimhse chontúirteach, tráth a bhfuil polasaí eachtrach na tíre "ag imeacht le sruth." He also referred to the chairman of the Consultative Forum on International Security Policy - Professor Richardson - and said that she was someone "with a very large DBE - Dame of the British Empire" and that she was "grand" but that she would have to the ability of experts to come to the Forum. Thagair sé chomh maith do chathaoirleach an Fhóram Comhairliúcháin ar an bPolasaí Slándála Idirnáisiúnta – an tOll Richardson – agus dúirt sé gur duine í "with a very large DBE - Dame of the British Empire" agus go raibh sí "grand" ach go mbeadh ar a chumas féin a theacht ar lucht saineolais le bheith ar an bhFóram. Today the President's Office says "he meant no offense by that trivial statement." Inniu deir Oifig an Uachtaráin "nach raibh aon mhasla i gceist aige leis an ráiteas fánach sin." "The President apologizes" says a statement from the Office "for any offense he inadvertently gave to Professor Richardson with a careless statement. "Gabhann an tUachtarán leithscéal" a deir ráiteas ón Oifig "faoi aon mhasla a thug sé gan chuimhneamh don Ollamh Richardson le ráiteas míchúramach. As a political scientist and sociologist himself, the President is familiar with the work of Professor Richardson. Mar eolaí polaitiúil agus socheolaí é féin tá eolas ag an Uachtarán ar shaothar an Oll Richardson. He admires, as do others, the Professor's tenacity in attracting students from disadvantaged and other non-traditional backgrounds to Oxford University, which led to her being awarded the DBE." Tá meas aige, mar atá ag daoine eile, ar threallús an Ollaimh ag mealladh mac léinn faoi mhíbhuntáiste agus ó chúlraí eile neamhthraidisiúnta chuig Ollscoil Oxford, rud ba chúis leis an ngradam DBE a bronnadh uirthi." Government sources have indicated that Prof Richardson will continue to chair the Forum. Tá sé tugtha le fios ag foinsí Rialtais go leanfaidh an tOll Richardson i mbun cathaoirleachta ar an bhFóram. In the interview the President did yesterday with the Sunday Business Post he said he was concerned that the country was turning away from "positive neutrality, our established policy." San agallamh a rinne an tUachtarán inné leis an Sunday Business Post dúirt sé go raibh imní air go raibh an tír ag iompú ón "neodracht dearfach, an polasaí seanbhunaithe atá againn." He mentioned the panels on the Forum, among which he said "the admirals, the generals, the air force and the rest" as well as "the countries that used to be neutral but are now looking for NATO membership." Luaigh sé na painéil atá ar an bhFóram, ina measc a dúirt sé "na haimiréil, na ginearáil, an t-aerfhórsa agus an chuid eile" chomh maith "leis na tíortha a bhíodh neodrach ach atá anois ag lorg ballraíochta le NATO." Cathal Berry - Independent MP and former member of the Defense Forces - has said there should be a "respectful debate" about Irish neutrality. Tá Cathal Berry - Teachta Dála Neamhspleách agus iarchomhalta sna Fórsaí Cosanta - tar éis a rá gur cheart "díospóireacht mheasúil" a bheith ann faoi neodracht na hÉireann.

"One of the things that is very exciting is that this is a very robust finding. In other words, sometimes in science people see something and then it's not replicated - Rapamycin's impact on lifespan has been replicated. When I started researching this area 50 years ago, I never felt that we would find a pill that would have an impact on aging and lifespan. Aging is very complex - to find one thing that would have an impact was highly unlikely. So when this happened in 2009, I had a small part in this, it was really very exciting because for the first time we had something that could potentially work in humans. The really exciting thing was this was a drug that was already being used in humans so we the knew the downsides and upsides to this particular compound."     Episode Description: We begin by recognizing that many longevity researchers, including Professor Richardson, anticipate that Rapamycin dosed intermittently will lead to significant lifespan and healthspan improvements. This has not yet been shown in humans though it has been robustly demonstrated in all animals tested. Its ability to improve immunologic functioning in individuals over 65 years of age has been demonstrated. We discuss the improvement in animal models of Alzheimer's Disease, and there has been some indication that these animal effects also apply to human subjects. The fascinating history of the discovery of Rapamycin from a soil sample from Easter Island (Rapa Nui) is described, and the role of serendipity in the history of science is recognized.    Our Guest: Arlan Richardson earned his Ph.D. in chemistry/biochemistry from Oklahoma State University in 1968. For the past 50 years, he has devoted his career to studying how aging impacts biological aspects of aging with a goal of identifying interventions that can slow down aging and improve the health of the elderly. He directed the first multi-investigator center grant into the effect of rapamycin on various age-related diseases. He served as president of the American Aging Association and the   Recommended Readings:  Richardson A, Galvan V, Lin AL, Oddo S.

According to a panel of experts from the Council for Responsible Nutrition (CRN UK), the ongoing situation surrounding Coronavirus could soon lead to dietary deficiencies among the country’s population, with a potentially detrimental impact on our immune function and ability to fight disease.In the view of CRN UK, if existing circumstances prevail, we could soon begin to experience a severe lack of certain micronutrients in our diets, including vitamins A, B, C, and D, and minerals such as copper, iron, selenium, and zinc.Professor David Richardson, a scientific advisor for the body, explains: “Although messages about the importance of a balanced diet and a healthy active lifestyle underpin nutritional advice to the public, now, more than ever, there is also a need for evidence-based scientific advice about the role food supplements play in the provision of essential nutrients.”According to Professor Richardson, food supplements have long formed part of the strategic dietary recommendations handed out by medical professionals to vulnerable groups, such as the elderly, women at various stages of the reproductive lifecycle, and young people.As Professor Richardson explains, one of the reasons for this is that these supplements can play a key role in supporting immune function among individuals of all ages; a truth that is more fundamental to our wellbeing now, with Covid-19 impacting the world around us, than it has ever been before.The takeaway from this is simple: that by refining our eating and focusing on our nutrient intake, we have the power to enhance our immune response and give ourselves an improved chance of staying well and healthy moving forward.The BDA’s recommendationsWhile it’s easy to feel hopeless and/or helpless in the current situation, now is actually the time to be proactive about our health, and one way to support your immune system is by ensuring that you’re taking care of your body by eating a balanced diet.According to the British Dietetic Association (BDA), this should include a number of essential vitamins and minerals, including copper, iron, folate, zinc, selenium, and vitamins A, B, C, and D, all of which can play an important role in enhancing immune function.The organisation states that those who are self-isolating or not able to go outdoors should take this advice particularly seriously, and recommend that they add a daily supplement of vitamin D to their diets to make up for the lack of natural sunlight they are experiencing.They suggest that this key vitamin can be included in our diets not only through the addition of supplements, but by eating certain foodstuffs too, such as cod liver oil, infant formula, oily fish, and certain yoghurts that have had vitamin D added.Supporting your mental healthAccording to the CRN UK, adding these key foodstuffs to your diet can not only help to support immune function but can be beneficial to your mental health too, with many finding that current circumstances are taking a significant toll on this.Indeed, a number of studies show a correlation between poor mental state and nutritional deficiencies and health conditions stemming from brain-based inflammation, which is believed to be strongly linked to gut health.Supporting this, there is further research to indicate that particular food supplements, like omega-3, magnesium, zinc, and vitamins B and D, can help in improving people’s emotional wellbeing, while also relieving conditions such as depression and anxiety.World Health Organisation guidanceIn a further show of solidarity, the World Health Organisation has also taken the unprecedented step of releasing supportive nutritional guidance at this time, emphasising that a good and balanced diet is key “in times when the immune system might need to fight back.”As well as limiting the intake of salt, sugar, and fatty foods

What do power, society, and ideology have to do with science? PhDiva Liz Wayne interviews Associate Professor Sarah Richardson, speaker at the 2017 Conference for Undergraduate Women in Physics at Harvard. Professor Richardson's research uses a multidisciplinary approach to analyze how scientists understand sex and gender. In this episode, she discusses her interdisciplinary journey through history, philosophy, genetics, and feminism. Richardson challenges us to go beyond the 'Women in STEM" pipeline inclusion model. What if biology doesn't determine gender, but gender -- and other forms of difference -- can change biology? In this conversation Liz and Professor Richardson talk about making science and the teaching of science better. More on Sarah Richardson here: http://scholar.harvard.edu/srichard/home
