Join Discourse for moreDiscourse is the best Sports Science community on the internet, and yes we are biased. But if you want to see for yourself, membership is a monthly pledge away, and then you too can gain access to opinion, insight and analysis from The Real Science of Sport army!Show notesThis week in Spotlight, we kick of with a Discourse Digest exploring the UCI's equipment rules — most notably, 40cm minimum handlebar width. It may seem like a technical tweak, but the implications are significant: many female cyclists will now have to widen their bars to comply, sparking criticism that the rule is not only arbitrary but discriminates against women. We dig into what it says about decision-making at the UCI, and how governance in the sport appears to be crying out for systematic, deliberate and openly communicated processes.In Listener Lens (11:56), we tackle a great Discourse question from Liam, a coach working with a 13-year-old female runner whose progress has stalled. We explore why this happens to young athletes, especially girls, and how the short-term incentives we create in youth sports cause challenges for the most well-intentioned coaches and parents. It's a conversation about patience, perspective, and reframing our expectations to accept that sporting development is very rarely linear.Then, in a new Ross Replies segment (29:20), a question from Nicol on how the body switches from fat to carbs during exercise opens the door to a deep dive into metabolic regulation. We break down what controls fuel selection during exercise, and why a new paradigm has emerged: instead of trying to promote fat oxidation to spare carbohydrates, elite athletes are now trying to minimize it. Why? To enhance performance by maximizing oxidation efficiency with carbs.In Center Stage 51:57), we discuss some of the tech details that have emerged in support of Faith Kipyegon's sub-4:00 mile attempt, and wonder what the quiet collapse of the Grand Slam Track series means for the sport? And finally (64:54) Gareth notes that Mondo Duplantis' pole vault dominance shows no signs of abating, leading us to wonder why some dominance is lauded, while others are doubted, and to reflect on huge sporting mismatches.LinksArticle on the UCI's handlebar decisionPaper from Norway comparing how boys and girls improve in athletic events during the teenage yearsThe article that shows how rare it is to be top 100 ranked at 18, 20 and as an adult, and that most successful adults aren't at the same level as juniorsArticle covering fundamentals of adolescent development and its implications for sportHow the body shifts from fat to carbs (Discourse member access only)Sean Ingle described some of the tech Nike is putting into the sub-4 mile attempt Hosted on Acast.

When award-winning science writer Amy Alkon was blindsided by her first hot flash, it kicked off a cascade of symptoms—drenching night sweats, insomnia, and a rage she couldn't explain. But what shocked her more was how little real science her doctor had to offer. In this episode, Alkon shares what she uncovered in her deep dive into the research on menopause and perimenopause—the critical yet often neglected years leading up to menopause when millions of women are misdiagnosed, dismissed, or simply told to “wait it out.” Drawing from her new book Going Menopostal, she explains why so much medical advice is still based on outdated or inadequate evidence, and what women can do about it. Alkon breaks down complex science with clarity, humor, and a healthy dose of skepticism, giving listeners the tools they need to ask better questions, advocate for themselves, and get the care they deserve. Whether you're in the thick of it or simply want to be prepared, or want to support your loved ones going through menopause, this episode will leave you informed, empowered, and maybe even laughing. Amy Alkon is an independent investigative science writer specializing in “applied science”—using scientific evidence to solve real-world problems. Alkon critically evaluates and synthesizes research across disciplines and then translates it into everyday language, empowering regular people to make scientifically informed decisions for the best of their health and well-being. For 25 years, Alkon wrote an award-winning, science-based nationally syndicated advice column, distributed by Creators. She is the author of five books—most recently, her “science-help” book Unf*ckology: How to Live with Guts and Confidence (St. Martin's Press, 2018). She is the past President of the Applied Evolutionary Psychology Society, which brings evolutionary science to public policy, education, and medicine. Her new book is Going Menopostal: What You (And Your Doctor) Need to Know About the Real Science of Menopause and Perimenopause.

Most sport takes place outdoors, and with growing concerns around sun exposure, active people are at a higher risk of developing skin cancer than most. Dr Dagmar Whitaker, vice president of the World Melanoma Society and one of the leading authorities on the subject, breaks down the current trends, explains which countries present a higher risk, the most effective ways to prevent skin cancer (hint: you smear it on from a young age!) and the breakthrough treatments that are not yet available. Whitaker is also president of the Melanoma Society South Africa and Immediate Past President of the Dermatological Society South AfricaSupport The Real Science of Sport on DiscourseDiscourse is our VIP community, where listeners gather around to chat more about the topics we cover on the show, the sports news, and anything else that has grabbed their sports science attention.

We are surrounded by bold claims and quick fixes for ‘boosting' our immune health. But one thing the science is clear on is that everyone's immune system is unique – what is good for one person may not work well for another. So how do we separate the bogus claims from the useful advice? Head of Life Sciences and Professor of Immunology at Imperial College, Daniel Davis, helps us sort the facts from the fiction. From the genetics of immune health to the myth of Vitamin C, from evidence-backed studies on chronic stress to the gaps in knowledge on sleep and microbiome health, Daniel reveals what scientists do know for certain—and what still needs more answers—to help us make informed choices for ourselves.

Join DiscourseGareth Davies, Mayor of The Real Science of Sport, is ready to welcome you as a citizen of our VIP community! To join the conversation, make a monthly pledge at Patreon.com and get access to the shared expertise and passion of fellow listenersShow notesIn this week's Spotlight, we tackle an intriguing training question from a listener in our Discourse community: do short surges during easy or moderate training days undermine the training benefit? To explore this, we look to the current Giro d'Italia, where Richard Carapaz and rising star Isaac del Toro offer real-world examples of how intensity, even in brief bursts, may create a significant physiological cost. While small deviations from planned intensity are not only acceptable but often necessary, trouble arises when these efforts become too frequent or too intense. We introduce the concept of a physiological budget, and how consistent overspending can lead to a kind of training “bankruptcy,” where the cost outweighs the benefit. We break down how it's the intensity that exponentially increases physiological stress, and how to manage that cost wisely in your own training.Then we shift gears to rugby, where the red card rule is about to undergo a significant transformation. Under the new law, a team will no longer play with 14 players for the rest of the match—after 20 minutes, they can bring on a replacement. In response to split opinion in the Rugby community, Gareth asks: “What's the big deal?”. Ross explains why this change has divided the sport, delving into the broader context of concussion prevention, and how sanction was meant to carry the message for behaviour change. Ross shares insights from his newly published paper showing that women are concussed in the same way as men, adding a crucial layer to the ongoing head injury debate.In our news wrap, we stay on safety, where the NFL has decided not to ban the controversial "tush push". We examine how that decision parallels rugby's own risk-management principles. Beatrice Chebet ran the second-fastest 3000m in history last week, putting herself onto a controversial list of Chinese names who had appeared to move that World Record out of reach. Ross offers a prediction that it's a matter of time before the WR falls to Chebet (along with others).And the Enhanced Games claim a “world record” performance of its own, leading us to again discuss the ethics, science, and inevitable sales pitch driving the campaign, and why giving oxygen to the now transparent anti-aging commercial objectives of the Games may not be a good idea.LinksThe question that inspired our Training Zone discussion - for Discourse members onlyRoss' recent paper on the risk of head injuries in elite women rugby playersThe NFL does not ban the 'tush push'.

This episode was recorded in Fort Wayne, Indiana, during the 2025 Tri-State Dairy Conference. Dr. Laporta gives an overview of her presentation, focusing on the impact of heat stress during the dry period on the cow, her daughters and her granddaughters. She covers heat stress impacts on mammary gland involution, as well as fetal programming effects on the daughter and granddaughter. (3:37)Daughters of heat-stressed cows have fewer sweat glands located deeper in the skin, thicker skin and more sebaceous glands. This was observed at birth, weaning and puberty. They sweat more than heifers who weren't heat stressed in utero, but have higher rectal temperatures during the preweaning phase. Dr. Laporta hypothesizes that if those calves were exposed to additional stress, they would be more susceptible to illness because of the higher core temperature.  (6:34)The panel discusses heat stress impacts on male fetuses and the potential for epigenetic changes to be transmitted through semen. Dr. Gerloff asks about differences in the impacts of heat stress on first-calf heifers compared to older cows. Dr. Laporta describes the survival rates of heifers who were heat-stressed in utero. Heifers are lost from the herd even before first calving, with more following in first and second lactation.  (11:00)Dr. Laporta outlines the differences between heat-stressed and cooled treatments in her experiments. They measure respiration rates and rectal temperatures to assess the physiological impacts of heat stress in the cows. Scott asks how long the heat stress period needs to be in order to observe negative effects. Dr. Gerloff asks about calf mortality rates between the two groups. Dr. Laporta estimates a 12% death loss in the heat stress groups, who seem to be more susceptible to the usual calf illnesses. It appears that gut closure might occur earlier in heat-stressed calves - maybe even before birth, which does not bode well for their immune systems. (16:49)Dr. Laporta details how heat stress impacts mammary gland involution. Early in the dry period, you want a spike in cell death to build new cells for the next lactation. In heat-stressed cows, the spike in cell death early in the dry period is diminished, not allowing those cells to die. This results in less proliferation of the mammary gland, and the cow starts her next lactation with older cells that weren't renewed in full. Thus, producing less milk. Dr. Gerloff shares some of his experiences with heat stress in his area of Illinois. (22:17)Heat stress has negative impacts on other organs as well. Heifers who experienced heat stress in utero are born with larger adrenal glands with altered microstructure. Dr. Laporta describes some of the DNA methylation that has been observed in these heifers. The panel discusses whether the response would be similar for other types of stressors, like cold stress or social stress. (26:19)What can we do to mitigate these impacts? Cooling dry cows so they can thermoregulate during gestation is critical. Altering diets to account for heat stress is also an important strategy. Unfortunately, there is no magic bullet to “fix” cows who were exposed to heat stress in utero, but these negative implications can be prevented. Dr. Laporta has also focused on what she calls perinatal programming - after the calf is born, what can we do? She has been working to develop cooling mechanisms for calves and is interested in further investigating early life mammary development. (33:41)When a dry cow experiences heat stress, she has fewer and smaller alveoli. Daughters of those cows have smaller udders with altered tissue growth. Granddaughters of those cows have fewer estrogen receptors in their udders and negative impacts on mammary proliferation. (44:30)Panelists share their take-home thoughts.

Do you think you might benefit from psychedelics, but have concerns about potential risks? In this conversation, I speak with Dr. Alexander Belser about psychedelics, from anecdotal benefits to the chemical breakdowns and reactions of psychedelic drugs. We discuss common drugs like psilocybin and MDMA to indigenous traditions around ayahuasca to lesser-known psychedelics like ibogaine.  Psychedelics are being studied for potential benefits for treating depression, PTSD, anxiety, and more. For the average person, do the benefits of taking psychedelics outweigh the risks? And how do you know which psychedelics are right for you? Alex and I discuss anecdotal experiences and research on psychedelics, and the behaviors that can reduce potential harms.  In this episode, we get into: What Are Psychedelics?

This week, Josh, Cliff, Michael, and Justin gather around the table for an episode that mixes curiosity, theology, and a bit of controversy. The conversation is sparked by Michael's message on how Christ holds all things together—down to the atoms—and the surprising scientific depth he brought to the pulpit. The team reflects on Colossians 1 and how this passage doesn't just describe Jesus as Creator, but as the Sustainer—the glue, the gravity, the force keeping all creation intact. To explore the tension between belief and understanding, they engage in a game called Real Science or Totally Fake?—not just for laughs, but to surface a bigger point: what we believe about the nature of reality is ultimately answered in Christ. From discussions about molecules and laminin to the cosmic scope of Jesus' role, the hosts explore the bridge between science and faith, showing how both point to the same sustaining Savior.

Amy Alkon's eight-year scientific deep dive into menopause began with a hot flash that felt like being "locked in a trunk in the Everglades." What followed was a shocking discovery of the vast gap between medical practice and scientific evidence in women's health care.As a self-described "science mole rat" without medical training but with rigorous research skills, Alkon uncovered critical distinctions between perimenopause and menopause that most doctors overlook. Perimenopause isn't simply "menopause light" but a unique hormonal state where estrogen often spikes dramatically while progesterone becomes deficient. This explains why many women experience rage, brain fog, insomnia, and other mysterious symptoms their doctors frequently dismiss.Through compelling personal anecdotes and accessible explanations of complex hormonal processes, Alkon reveals how medical institutions are failing women during this transition. Most gynecologists receive virtually no specialized training in menopause management, leaving millions of women misdiagnosed or untreated. Her frustrating battle to obtain proper medication—oral micronized progesterone rather than synthetic alternatives with harmful side effects—highlights how women must often become their own health advocates.Going Menopostal: What You (and Your Doctor) Need to Know About the Real Science of Menopause and Perimenopause  (which is being published today) equips readers with the scientific understanding and practical tools to navigate a medical system that often gaslights women.

For years, I thought I had to push myself to fit into this “summer body” ideal, sweating it out through restrictive diets and unrealistic fitness goals, only to feel like I was falling short. I kept repeating the cycle—working hard, but not seeing lasting results. I thought the key to being happy in my body was to lose weight fast and look a certain way for an event or season. But the truth? It was all a big, exhausting loop that left me feeling drained and disconnected from my true health goals.In today's episode, I'm talking about breaking free from the “bikini body” myth and the pressure to constantly shrink your body for the sake of appearance. I share my own experiences of being stuck in the weight-loss obsession, and how I learned to focus on what really matters— the real, long-term changes that create true strength, energy, and confidence—no matter the season.This episode is for anyone who's tired of the endless cycle of dieting and unrealistic body standards.  I Also Discuss:(00:00) Break Free from the Summer Body Trap!(11:17) Sustainable Fitness: Real Results, No Quick Fixes(18:01) Want Strong Abs?

Are you considering buying one of those weighted vests you see all the menopause influencers wearing these days? Then this episode is for you, because we are going to see if weighted vests really are the secret fitness and bone remodeling weapon they're hyped up to be... or just another overblown trend? I'm breaking down the pros and cons of weighted vests, who might actually benefit, who should steer clear, and how to use them safely if you decide to give it a try. We cover: The pros and cons of using a weighted vest How weighted vests may support bone density and muscle strength Cardiovascular and calorie-burning benefits (and limitations) Important risks for joints, posture, and injuries Special considerations for hip and knee replacements What the science actually says about effectiveness Whether it's worth the money or just trendy hype Tips for safely getting started with a weighted vest   REVERSE OSTEOPOROSIS: https://youtu.be/JRrd52WsmXI?si=aEgnrkHA8zIAldl_ Give thanks to our sponsors: Qualia senolytics and brain supplements. 15% off with code ZORA here.  Try BEAM minerals at 20% off with code ZORA here.http://beamminerals.com/ZORA Get Primeadine spermidine by Oxford Healthspan. 15% discount with code ZORA ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠here⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠.

In this episode of Podcast in Death, We dive into another "We Review the Reviews" session. This time taking on Apprentice in Death and wow, do the one-star reviewers have thoughts. Is Roarke just a billionaire Mary Sue with too much access to NYPSD investigations? Is a laser rifle supposed to have recoil? And most importantly… is outrage over Nora calling a fictional school “Hillary Clinton High” the hill to die on?We also make a big announcement: for the next three months, we're taking a detour into Nora Roberts' Chronicles of the One series! We've teased it before, but now we're finally doing it—and yes, Tara will actually finish the series this time. (Fingers crossed.)Highlights of this episode include:Rants about how Nora's fictional science doesn't match up with some people's view of Real Science.So many people really pissed about Roarke's 10-minute miracle app that would be impossible for anyone to do, except now it can be done with ChatGPT.A laser-focused (pun intended) takedown of angry reviewers who just… really need to stop reading if they hate the books this much.A moment of appreciation for Susan Ericksen, aka Saint Susan of Ericksen, and her flawless narration.

Life Dynamics-Mark Crutcher: Episode 38 Pro-Choicers Are The Real Science Deniers by Priests for Life

Traditional sales tactics often fall flat in today's B2B landscape, especially when dealing with high-ticket deals. Buyers are more informed than ever, and outdated, pushy strategies only create resistance instead of trust. Success now comes from strategic positioning, deep relationship-building, and demonstrating real value at every touchpoint. When sales shifts from persuasion to partnership, closing big deals becomes a natural outcome instead of an uphill battle. Greg Nutter is the Principal Consultant at Soloquent. He is a seasoned management consultant with over 30 years of experience in sales, spanning roles from sales representative to vice president of sales.

I wanted to follow up on my post from last week, Return to Real Science, that talked about “Relativism”. Two things happened since then that I thought perfectly illustrated the problem with “Moral Relativism” or “Moral Inversion”. I posted the following writing on Facebook: “I am appalled that many people, including journalists like Taylor Lorenz (Washington Post & New York Times), are celebrating the murder of an insurance company CEO. Taylor posted a screenshot of another health insurance company making a change and her post said: “And people wonder why we want these executives dead”. This is the problem with moral relativism.Get my weekly posts in your email by subscribing for free! For background I shared that my article this week explained relativism and included a quote from the article: “Relativism is the idea that all opinions are equally valid, no matter how ridiculous. For example, certain frameworks might argue that math is oppressive because it emphasizes correct answers. But without objective truth, how do we build bridges, design computers, or cure diseases? Imagine an engineer saying, “My truth is that this bridge will hold up,” even if the math proves otherwise. Relativism doesn't lead to progress; it leads to chaos.”We're seeing the damage this mindset causes right now. People are justifying their celebration of murder by claiming it's acceptable because of the CEO's role in denying health insurance claims.This selective moral reasoning is rooted in relativism—the belief that morality can shift based on context or personal feelings. It replaces universal principles, like the inherent wrongness of murder, with subjective justifications tied to anger or perceived injustice.But here's the danger: if morality becomes entirely relative, it opens the door to chaos.Today, it's celebrating a CEO's murder; tomorrow, it could be justifying anything that feels right to someone at the time.Relativism undermines the very foundations of ethical reasoning and erodes trust in the principles that hold society together.We cannot allow ourselves to be swept away by this mindset.It's imperative to reject moral relativism and return to universal principles of reason and evidence, principles that ensure justice, fairness, and accountability for all, regardless of our emotions or personal grievances.Murder is wrong.”After I posted this on Facebook, one of my very smart and well intentioned friends respectfully criticized my article saying that I was incorrect. We had a lengthy debate and I know he has the best of intentions, but this part of the interaction perfectly illustrated the problem with this mindset. He suggested that my post was alienating people. So I responded with the message: “I respectfully suggest it may not be me who is alienating people. Let me offer an example: Could you answer a seemingly simple question with a simple yes or no: “Is it acceptable for race to be a consideration in hiring, grading, or discipline?”His response was: “That's a trick question and you know it. Yes, it's acceptable in select situations. And no, it isn't in all.”That answer shocks most people that have been out of academia for a while or who haven't been paying attention to this new line of thinking. But it is a perfect illustration of moral relativism. It couldn't be more clear. This new line of thinking has convinced incredibly smart and well intentioned people that racism and murder are okay in certain “select situations”. I reject this view completely and I hope that we all will. It is never appropriate to judge someone based on the color of their skin. This is a moral truth. This is the basis of the Civil Rights Movement and the Civil Rights Act. But sadly, this type of thinking has pervaded almost all of our powerful institutions in America. Due to the selective moral relativism, organizations like schools, companies, non-profits will engage in a practice called “Hiring with an equity lens”. This activity quite literally encourages the organization to make hiring decisions with an eye towards considering race. This practice is illegal and immoral, even though it is done with the best of intentions, it still does not justify the practice and it never will. We must reject this kind of moral relativism and return to return to objective, universal principles that respect individual rights and emphasize personal responsibility. Hiring decisions, and all organizational practices, must be based on competence, character, and contribution, not superficial attributes like race or gender. When we deviate from this approach, we erode the foundations of trust and accountability that hold society together.This is not about intention but about outcomes. Good intentions cannot justify practices that undermine equality under the law and create resentment. History has proven that when people are judged by their abilities and achievements, rather than group identity, innovation and prosperity follow.To restore integrity to our institutions, we must demand a relentless commitment to standards that transcend political fads or ideological movements. This means rejecting any practice that prioritizes group identity over individual capability and insisting on a meritocratic approach that rewards excellence and effort.The way forward is simple but not easy. It requires a willingness to stand against popular but destructive ideas and to reaffirm timeless truths about human dignity and agency. Our schools, businesses, and nonprofits must lead by example, building cultures where personal responsibility and achievement are the sole measures of success.DefinitionsMurder: the unlawful premeditated killing of one human being by another.Racism: the belief that different races possess distinct characteristics, abilities, or qualities, especially so as to distinguish them as inferior or superior to one another.My dream is to be a writer.

Over the past few decades, a troubling shift has occurred in how we perceive and utilize science, particularly within educational contexts. Traditional science, grounded in facts, evidence, and experimentation, is increasingly being overshadowed by modern social science frameworks that emphasize subjective interpretations over empirical data. This shift has significant implications for the reliability and credibility of scientific knowledge.To receive my weekly posts for FREE in your email account, just submit your email below! The way we know this is a problem is something called the reproducibility crisis. Reproducibility—the ability to replicate the results of a study using the same methods and data—is one of the foundations of science. But studies have shown that this isn't happening. A 2016 survey published in Nature found that over 70% of researchers tried and failed to reproduce another scientist's experiments, and more than half couldn't reproduce their own. If a study can't be replicated, it means the findings aren't proven at all. This issue has eroded public trust in science and made it harder to solve real-world problems.In educational settings, this problem is compounded by the introduction of certain modern social science approaches that prioritize subjective interpretations over objective analysis. Instead of focusing on evidence-based questions like, “How does this process work?” they might ask, “How does this reflect systemic inequalities?” For example, someone might argue that labeling certain smells as “bad” is tied to cultural bias. But how do you test that? How do you prove it's true or false? These claims often rely on interpretations rather than measurable evidence, which makes them less useful for solving real-world problems.Another example is implicit bias testing, which claims to reliably measure unconscious prejudice and predict discriminatory behavior. While the idea has been widely adopted in workplaces and institutions, many researchers have questioned the reliability and validity of these tests. How do you objectively measure or prove the existence of a bias that the person may not be aware of? And can it accurately predict real-world actions? The evidence for these claims is often inconsistent and difficult to replicate.Similarly, in education, the concept of learning styles suggests that students learn best when taught according to their “preferred learning style” (visual, auditory, kinesthetic, etc.). While this sounds intuitive, numerous studies have failed to find consistent evidence supporting the effectiveness of tailoring teaching methods to these styles. How do you test this claim objectively when evidence suggests that all students benefit from well-rounded teaching strategies, regardless of their preferred style?Another common example is cultural appropriation in art and fashion, where critics argue that using certain cultural symbols is inherently exploitative or oppressive. For instance, a designer might be criticized for incorporating a traditional motif from another culture into their work. While these discussions can raise important questions about respect and representation, how do you measure whether such acts cause tangible harm? These claims often rely on subjective perceptions of offense, which are not easily quantified or tested.I am going to attempt to convince you that, if we want to solve real problems and move forward as a society, we need to abandon this way of thinking and return to science rooted in evidence and logic.Let's start with what real science looks like. Science asks clear questions about the world and then tests them. For example, scientists might wonder, “Does this medicine cure disease?” They test it on a large group of people, compare the results, and share their findings so others can confirm their work. If the results hold up, we accept them as truth—at least until new evidence suggests otherwise. This process has given us life-saving breakthroughs like antibiotics, airplanes, and smartphones. Science works because it's based on facts that can be proven and tested repeatedly.This focus on feelings creates something called relativism. Relativism is the idea that all opinions are equally valid, no matter how ridiculous. For example, certain frameworks might argue that math is oppressive because it emphasizes correct answers. But without objective truth, how do we build bridges, design computers, or cure diseases? Imagine an engineer saying, “My truth is that this bridge will hold up,” even if the math proves otherwise. Relativism doesn't lead to progress; it leads to chaos.We're already seeing the damage this mindset has caused. In some workplaces, employees are forced to sit through workshops where they're told that their race or gender determines whether they're an “oppressor” or “oppressed.” These sessions aren't based on evidence but on assumptions. In schools, lessons often focus on how systems are unfair instead of teaching students how to think critically and solve problems. Instead of creating solutions, this approach fosters division and resentment. And since these frameworks reject the idea of objective truth, it's impossible to argue against them—it's like debating with someone who denies the sky is blue.The truth is, these modern approaches don't fix problems; they just find new ones to complain about. Imagine if doctors used these methods. Instead of asking, “What's the best treatment for this disease?” they'd spend all their time arguing about how healthcare systems are unfair. While that might be worth discussing, it doesn't help the patient. Real science, on the other hand, focuses on solutions. It asks testable questions, runs experiments, and uses evidence to make the world better.We need to return to real, objective science. Science works because it relies on evidence, not opinions. It's the reason we have airplanes that don't fall out of the sky and medicines that actually cure diseases. These frameworks might sound sophisticated, but they're a dead end. If we want to move forward, we have to focus on what's real and testable. That's what real science does—and it's the only way to truly solve the problems we face.Thanks for reading Year Of The Opposite - Travis Stoliker's Substack!

Dr. Nydam and Dr. LeBlanc recently presented a Real Science Lecture series webinar on August 7, 2024. You can find the link at balchem.com/realscience.Dr. Nydam begins with a brief overview of the concepts from the webinar, all based on understanding and applying information from different types of studies on dairy cow health and performance. Dr. LeBlanc adds that their goal was for the webinar to be useful for people with a practical interest in feeding and managing dairy cows. (4:12)Dr. Nydam discusses different kinds of bias in research. All studies have some bias in them to some extent, so acknowledging, understanding, and trying to control for that is critical. Dr. LeBlanc describes survivor bias. In the simplest sense, survivor bias can be thought of as who's alive to be counted. Several examples of treatments causing animals to be removed from a study or a disease-causing animal to be culled are reviewed. (8:24)Both guests give their perspectives on p-values. A p-value tells us the likelihood that a difference we observe is due to chance. There is active discussion among statisticians about the value of the p-value. Both guests suggest that readers should also assess if the study achieved its stated objective and if there are adequate numbers and statistical power to accomplish the objective. P-values help us understand risk. A p-value does not tell us how big a difference was or how important it was. (18:54)Dr. Nydam reviews that there are two kinds of study validity: internal and external. Internal validity centers around whether the study was done well. Was bias controlled for and acknowledged? External validity centers around the applicability of the study to the population. Is a study about mastitis treatment in water buffalo in Pakistan applicable to a dairy farm on Prince Edward Island? Peer review usually takes care of assessing internal validity. External validity is more up to each reader to decide for themself and their situation. (29:01)Scott asks about the validity of field trial data. Both guests acknowledge the inherent challenges of field studies and give some tips for success. Field studies can often have good external validity because they are done under real-world conditions and at scale. (34:23)The group dives into the topic of industry-funded research. Some skepticism and cynicism about industry-funded research exists. Industry-funded studies are not inherently biased and often answer important and tangible questions for decision-makers. Government funding is rarely going to be awarded to that type of research, but the industry is interested in funding it. If an industry-funded study is well done by a reputable researcher, has gone through the peer review process, and has appropriate methods and statistics, Dr. Nydam sees no reason to discount it. (44:56)Dr. LeBlanc reminds the audience when looking at different kinds of studies and different types of evidence, it's not that one type of study is good and others are not. For a lot of health-related research in dairy cows, we don't have good (or any) experimental models to reproduce things in a white-coat-science sort of way. At the end of the day, dairy managers and industry professionals want to know if a particular piece of science, whether experimental or observational, helps them make decisions on the farm. There's a place for all types of research as long as it's done well and in its own right.  (42:08)Dr. Nydam's key takeaway is that it's important to remember to keep some faith in science and have open discourse about it as we move forward in dairy science and as a society. Dr. LeBlanc reminds the audience that even if listeners are not in the business of designing, conducting, and analyzing their experiments, they do not need to feel powerless as consumers of scientific information. It can and should be something they can engage with and use to answer questions in their day-to-day jobs.

“Switch me on.”When you think about it, the original Ghostbusters movie captivated a generation in a way that we usually reserve for franchises like Star Wars. Who would have thought that a big budget semi-horror comedy featuring a bunch of Saturday Night Live alums would become the kind of pop culture phenomenon that is still releasing films 40 years later, not to mention a parade of animated series, collectibles, video games, and more? And yet, that's exactly what happened!And perhaps a key part of that appeal was the central piece of equipment that the Ghostbusters outfitted themselves with: the proton pack. Essentially an “unlicensed nuclear accelerator” that they wear on their backs that allows them to “herd” ghosts into the equally fantastic traps (something that will perhaps be the focus of a future episode of Does it Fly?), the proton pack is as striking a visual as Star Wars' lightsaber or Star Trek's transporter. It's far from the only reason Ghostbusters has endured, but the millions of children of the 1980s who turned their school backpacks into ghost-fighting machines can't be wrong!At the heart of Ghostbusters is the fact that our heroes are all scientists, despite their shared interest in the paranormal. In a way, that's not too different from the dynamic of our brilliant hosts, who spend this special, spooky episode of Does it Fly? debating both the science and story logic of this beloved device.You can also watch the latest episode of Does it Fly? on our YouTube page. FURTHER READING Do you want to delve a little deeper into the facts, concepts, and stories Hakeem and Tamara referenced in today's episode? Of course you do! ProtonsYou can't wrap your head around a proton pack without first understanding the proton itself, which is simply a positively charged particle in the nucleus of an atom. Wait, did we say “simply?” No, these aren't that simple at all (note how Hakeem says in this episode that “the word particle can mean different things in different contexts”). Find out why right here.Particle AcceleratorsAccording to Hakeem, the proton pack is essentially a particle accelerator. Let the International Atomic Energy Agency explain them to you far better than we can. But the key here is the concept of the cyclotron, first developed by Ernest Lawrence, and which even existed in a surprisingly portable form (pending energy use necessity, of course).Beta DecayWe admit, this one is tough to follow on its own. Fortunately, there are visual references that help us follow along.Let's just let Hakeem explain how it all ties together: “The Ghostbusters use positrons to power their cyclotron which accelerates their protons so they can use them to capture ghosts.” (phew)The Real Inspiration for GhostbustersTamara brings up how Dan Aykroyd was inspired to pursue the Ghostbusters concept by an academic article from The Journal of the American Society for Psychical Research (which is absolutely real). We are pretty sure that the actual article in question can be read right here!SUGGESTED VIEWING It's almost unthinkable that anyone who has clicked on this episode hasn't seen the original Ghostbusters, which is truly a generational, all-time great movie. There's an entire franchise worth exploring beyond it, though. Here's a quick guide to watching them all in the appropriate order.Ghostbusters (1984) and Ghostbusters II (1989)The two movies that make up the bedrock of Ghostbusters canon. The first, is, of course, self-explanatory. Its sequel was seen as something of a disappointment upon release, but in the years since it's seen a critical re-evaluation from the general public. The first movie belongs to a unique category of high-concept genre comedies of the 1980s, which even had this not spawned a series of movies, a toy line, an animated series, and countless collectibles would have made it pretty unique. Others that played with the formula established here include Bill & Ted's Excellent Adventure and Beetlejuice (which we did an entire episode on that you can watch right here).Ghostbusters: Answer the Call (2016)Unfairly maligned upon release for reasons we need not get into here, Paul Feig's complete reboot of the franchise  (it's set in a parallel universe from the first films) is better than you've heard. HoweverGhostbusters: Afterlife (2021) and Ghostbusters: Frozen Empire (2024)These are essentially the belated Ghostbusters III and IV. As is the case with Ghostbusters sequels, your mileage may vary.For those of you who really want to dig deeper, though, you'd be surprised at just how cool (and even scary!) The Real Ghostbusters cartoon from the 1980s was. In particular, if you're looking for some spooky seasonal viewing, allow us to suggest the first season episode “When Halloween Was Forever” which feels like a genuine Ghostbusters movie condensed down to less than 30 minutes. WANT MORE FROM DOES IT FLY?This isn't our first spooky rodeo, as we recently took a look at Beetlejuice to try and scientifically prove that demonic possession is a thing!Have you seen our awesome exclusive interview with the showrunner of Netflix's Tomb Raider: The Legend of Lara Croft yet?

This Real Science Exchange podcast episode was recorded during a webinar from Balchem's Real Science Lecture Series. The primary goal of a replacement program is to raise the highest quality heifer that can maximize profits when she enters the lactating herd. She carries no limitations that would detract from her ability to produce milk under the farm's management system. Ideally, one would wish to optimize profits by obtaining the highest quality heifer at the lowest possible cost, usually in the least amount of time. Dr. Van Amburgh presents a snapshot evaluation of benchmarks to assess the potential quality of replacements. (3:47)When does the process of creating a quality heifer start? Probably before conception. In non-pasture herds, the first lactation cows giving birth to heifers produced about 1000 pounds more milk in the first two lactations. Heifers whose dams were supplemented with choline during the pre-fresh period had higher birth-to-yearling average daily gains and improved immunity. Choline also appears to enhance the quality of colostrum via increased absorption of IgG. This implies that maternal programming extends beyond the uterine environment via ingestion of milk-borne factors, known as the lactocrine hypothesis (14:29)After the calf is born, the goal is anabolism or growth. The dam communicates with the calf via colostrum to direct calf development after birth. Not only does colostrum provide immunoglobulins, but it also contains a large amount of nutrients and non-nutrient factors that support gut maturation. In particular, IGF-1 and insulin may act on receptors in the gut to stimulate cell proliferation, cell differentiation, and protein synthesis. Dr. Van Amburgh summarizes several studies that showed increased colostrum feeding improved pre- and post-weaning growth and development. While the immunoglobulin content of colostrum is essential for passive immunity, the other components in colostrum are responsible for the increased growth performance. (27:39)The hormones and growth factors in colostrum enhance protein synthesis, enzyme expression, and gastrointestinal tract development. This implies that the gut is now an even stronger barrier to infection, with more surface area for digestion and absorption, with an increased capacity to digest nutrients due to higher enzyme excretion. (36:33)To investigate the impact of non-nutrient factors in colostrum, studies were designed where calves were fed either colostrum or milk replacer with the same nutrient content. Glucose uptake was increased for colostrum calves even though both groups received similar nutrient content. Plasma glucagon was higher in colostrum calves, indicating better glucose status and higher reserve capacity. Plasma protein levels were higher in colostrum calves, suggesting more amino acids available for growth and protein synthesis. Plasma urea nitrogen was lower for colostrum calves, indicating fewer amino acids were used for gluconeogenesis leading to more efficient growth. (46:55)What happens to immune cells in colostrum? Leukocytes and other immune-related cells in colostrum are trafficked into the circulation of the calf. Maternal leukocytes can be detected in the calf by 12 hours, peak at 24 hours, and disappear by 48 hours. Long term, there appears to be greater cellular immunity in calves that received whole colostrum compared to cell-free colostrum. Uptake of cells from colostrum enhances cellular immunity in calves by providing, mature, programmed cells from the dam. (52:24)The take-home message for colostrum management is to feed colostrum for four days. Give first-milking colostrum within six hours of birth and again at 12 hours. Give second-milking colostrum for day two feeding and third- and fourth-milking colostrum for days three and four. (56:04)Dr. Van Amburgh answers a few questions from the webinar audience about dry cow management for colostrum quality and quantity, the impacts of pasteurization of colostrum on components, and the efficacy of colostrum replacers.

Dr. Zimmerman presented a Real Science Lecture webinar on December 12th, 2023, titled “Not All Rumen-Protected Products Are Created Equal.” You can find the webinar recording at balchem.com/realscience.  Clay outlines four attributes of a good rumen-encapsulated product. They are feed and TMR stable, ruminal stable, nutrient bioavailability, and good efficacy biologically in the animal.  (6:21)Kari describes a TMR stability test that Balchem has been perfecting based on a paper published in 2016. One to two grams of a rumen-protected product (based on the nutrient composition) is mixed with a half pound of TMR in a Ziploc bag, then the mixture incubates for 0, 6, 12 or 24 hours (based on feeding 1x, 2x, or 3x per day). Once a sample is finished incubating, it's placed in a strainer bag in one liter of distilled water for one minute. Then, the amount of nutrient that was leached into the distilled water is measured. She describes some of the observations and trends they've seen from using this technique on different products. (8:24)Mark asks about the impact of abrasion during the mixing process on encap stability. Kari describes a mineral mix technique using a small ribbon and paddle mixer. In this case, 5-10 pounds of encap product are mixed with 90-95 pounds of a mineral mix for three minutes. Then a sample is analyzed for damage to the encap. Clay does not recommend pelleting any encapsulated product because that will only reduce efficacy. It may not be 100% damage, but it will be significant. (12:41)Scott asks about the freeze-thaw stability of encapsulates. Clay mentions that all of Balchem's encapsulated products are freeze-thaw stable. If a product is not, there will be cracks in the coating and some ruminal stability will be lost. (19:34)When it comes to ruminal stability, matrix encapsulates tend to have lower stability in the rumen, but it varies widely. Some have no ruminal stability; some lose less than 10% in the rumen. Encapsulation is a complex process and there are tradeoffs between some of the steps. For example, between TMR stability or rumen stability and bioavailability, the goal is to find the perfect mix of these to make a high-efficacy product on the farm. Kari describes a rumen stability test that can be conducted on-farm for protected choline and lysine products. Mark describes in situ experiments for rumen stability testing using small Dacron bags in rumen-cannulated animals. He mentions that creating an encap with high rumen stability and high intestinal digestibility is key.  (19:58)Bioavailability is key, but methodologies for assessing bioavailability are a limitation. Kari and Mark discuss the pros and cons of various in situ/in vivo techniques, including mobile bag, abomasal pulse dose, and stable isotope. (29:25)Clay mentions that in vitro techniques are a key piece to product development and testing, but may give erroneous results compared to in vivo testing. Kari describes an experiment she conducted with Mark comparing in vivo and in vitro techniques. She suggests that there may be an argument for creating specific in vitro tests built for different types of protected products.  For example, for a pH-sensitive product, a step mimicking abomasal enzymes would be important. For a fat-coated product, a step mimicking intestinal enzymes for fat breakdown would be important. Clay cautions that a product with only in vitro data should be regarded with skepticism. (44:25)Biological response in the animal is the key final step. Ultimately, you want independent, peer-reviewed data to prove the efficacy of a product. Mark reminds the audience that even if animals don't respond to a product, there are a host of different issues that could be causing that unrelated to the product being tested. Things like water quality, water quantity, stress, cow comfort - there's a whole laundry list of things to consider. (50:39)In closing, Kari recommends that when picking an encap product, ask for the research that hits the four pillars: TMR stability, rumen stability, bioavailability, and animal performance. Mark suggests that you can't make a bad encap good, but you can make a good encap bad if you aren't careful. Clay agrees that the more data, the better. Lastly, we need more work on the feed stability pillar which has been overlooked. It is a critical piece to encap products being effective in the field.

[Original airdate: 6/8/23] Russ Miller and Mary Danielsen discuss the foundations of our faith, our childrens' faith and how the entire bible is suspect and untrustworthy if Genesis is not true. The first 3 words of Genesis, "In the Beginning", lay the foundation not only for the time dimension but also Real Science. Today's science cannot come to the proper conclusions because their original premise is faulty.  Russ heads up Creation, Evolution and Science ministries and brings a wealth of knowledge to our understanding of The Beginning and how to defend our faith in light of truth. Creation, Evolution & Science Ministries | "Prove all things; hold fast that which is good." 1 Thess 5:21 (creationministries.org)   Shameless plug for swag for our listeners/donors! https://www.redpillprints.com/stand-up-for-the-truth - Thanks for YOUR Support!
