According to our unscientific office poll, the annual changing of the clocks has all the popularity of a root canal. With few exceptions, people described the shift to and from Daylight Saving Time as disorienting, arbitrary, and unwelcome.On a more existential level, winding the clocks back and forth reminds us that no matter how concrete minutes and hours may feel, the way we perceive time is fluid. Time flies when you're having fun. A watched pot never boils. So to celebrate (or perhaps protest) another year setting back the clocks, the Outside/In team has uncovered four mini-stories that will poke at, stretch, or even obliterate your perception of time. From “time expansion experiences”, to time-space synaesthesia, to the slow-motion life of a fly, prepare for a totally different type of time warp.Featuring Steve Taylor, Rhitu Chatterjee, Kevin Healy, Katherine Akey, and Patricia Lynne Duffy.This episode was produced by Felix Poon, Marina Henke, and Justine Paradis.

Antidepressant use during pregnancy disrupts fetal brain development and increases the risk of long-term mental health problems in children Babies exposed to SSRI antidepressants in the womb often suffer withdrawal symptoms at birth, including weak muscle tone, poor feeding, and breathing difficulties Research shows counseling for depression lowers the risk of preterm birth, while antidepressant use increases it, highlighting the importance of non-drug approaches Major medical organizations and media outlets continue to downplay these risks, leaving many mothers unaware of safer alternatives Natural strategies like proper nutrition, exercise, sunlight, and stress management provide effective ways to support your mental health during pregnancy without harming your baby
Coca-Cola is launching a cane sugar version of its classic soda in the U.S. after President Donald Trump urged a switch from high fructose corn syrup. The effort supports the administration's “Make America Healthy Again” initiative — but many experts argue that it won't make a difference. On this episode, journalist Murray Carpenter discusses his new book, Sweet and Deadly: How Coca-Cola Spreads Disinformation and Makes Us Sick.
You have heard of creatine, but you have no idea how much your body actually relies on it. Amy Hudson and Dr. James Fisher explore what creatine really is, why it matters for your health and performance, who should be using it, and how it actually works. They also tackle what the science actually says, how to use it in a way that makes sense for your lifestyle, and why so many people from athletes to everyday health seekers consider it a game changer. Expect to walk away with practical takeaways you can use immediately, whether your goal is to train harder, improve recovery, support brain health, or simply live with more energy. Dr. Fisher starts by explaining what creatine is and what it does. It is one of the most researched supplements in the world and plays a direct role in how your body produces energy. Think of it as fuel storage that your muscles, brain, and organs can tap into when they need a boost. Why is creatine so important? According to Dr. Fisher, creatine is essentially your body's backup battery for energy, powering everything from your muscles to your brain. Without it, you would not be able to perform at your best physically or mentally. Dr. Fisher explains how creatine boosts performance and allows you to exercise harder and longer. Why athletes swear by creatine. From Olympic sprinters to football players, it is one of the most widely used supplements in sports. If you want to train like the best, creatine has likely been part of their routine. Dr. Fisher highlights creatine health benefits that go beyond the gym. Studies show creatine can lower cholesterol, protect your liver, and even help with blood sugar control. It is also linked to reducing bone loss, supporting brain health, and minimizing the risk of serious diseases. Amy and Dr. Fisher cover why vegetarians may benefit even more from creatine. Since plant based diets do not provide as much creatine naturally, supplements can make an even bigger difference. And yes, vegan friendly options are widely available. According to Dr. Fisher, creatine is not just for athletes anymore. It is now considered a supplement for overall health and healthy aging. Amy and Dr. Fisher cover the types of creatine. You can buy it as a pill, a powder, or even gummies. But the gold standard, the one most research supports, is creatine monohydrate. Dr. Fisher on dosage: how much should you take daily? Research shows three to five grams per day is enough for most people. Smaller individuals may only need two to three grams, while larger athletes might go slightly above five. Does creatine cause water retention? Dr. Fisher says no, there is no research to back that up. That old loading phase of 20 grams a day was more marketing than science, so stick to the steady daily dose. Is creatine an anabolic steroid? Absolutely not. It has nothing to do with steroids chemically or functionally, so you can safely separate the two in your mind. Is creatine safe for children and teens? While there is less research in younger groups, studies show no evidence of harm. Still, Dr. Fisher emphasizes focusing first on diet, sleep, hydration, and exercise before adding supplements. Does creatine increase fat mass? Amy and Dr. Fisher reveal how creatine helps build lean muscle, which actually helps reduce body fat. If anything, it works in your favor for body composition. Dr. Fisher busts the myth that creatine is only for strength athletes. It is not just for bodybuilders or powerlifters, it has broad health benefits for anyone. That is why today, it is considered more of a wellness supplement than a performance only one. Is creatine only effective for men? According to Dr. Fisher, women benefit just as much. In fact, creatine may even support hormonal health, mood, and energy across the menstrual cycle. Mentioned in This Episode: The Exercise Coach - Get 2 Free Sessions!

Dr. Dahl presented a Real Science webinar on heat stress on April 1, 2025. You can find the webinar at balchem.com/realscience. This episode of Real Science Exchange further explores the key elements of Dr. Dahl's webinar.Dr. Dahl talks about geographical differences in whether farms provide cooling for dry or lactating cows. Cows get heat stressed long before humans. Some farms are concerned that using misters for cooling will add too much water to their manure handling systems. He notes a study comparing conventional misters and fans, no cooling, and smart soakers that only provide mist if a cow is present. When the total amount of water (drinking + cooling system) was evaluated, the smart soakers cooled as well as the conventional system, but used the same amount of water as the no cooling group. (7:08)During the dry period, a main impact of heat stress is a reduction in dry matter intake. However, there are dramatic shifts in immune function and effects on mammary development and redevelopment in cows who experience heat stress in the dry period. This sets the stage for lower productivity in the next lactation. In addition, there are many negative impacts on the in utero calf from heat stress. Calves from heat stressed dams are challenged from a growth standpoint, in addition to organ development challenges in the mammary gland, ovaries, and immune system. These calves are less likely to make it through their first lactation, are less productive, and pass their poor production and survival phenotype on to their offspring. (14:28)Dr. Tao talks about when during the dry period to provide cooling for cows. Spoiler alert: the entire dry period! He also notes that bred heifers should have cooling provided for the last 60 days of gestation as well. Laura asks about the impact of heat stress on neonatal calves and how it may impact their mammary development. More research is needed in this area, and you also have to wait two years to collect data from the first lactation. Dr. Dahl notes that observations from season of birth data indicate lower longevity for calves who are born to heat stressed dams. (18:26)Milk production is decreased by 8-10 pounds per day for cows stressed during the dry period, and they also produce a lower volume of colostrum. Calves from heat stressed dams also have a lower rate of passive transfer of antibodies from colostrum. The panel talks about why that might be, whether or not those gut differences persist after calfhood, and how that might be related to growth differences between heat stressed and cooled calves. (27:30)What about reproduction? It appears that heat stress during the dry period has a negative impact on reproductive function in the subsequent breeding season. Recent research has indicated that calves experiencing heat stress in utero have poor gonadal development and lower follicular reserves. In addition, placental development is also negatively affected. Dr. Tao notes that heat stress negatively impacts mammary gland involution during the dry off period. All of this leads to a decrease in cow longevity. (35:36)Dr. Dahl describes a retrospective records study using Florida and California herds to evaluate cows in their fifth through eighth lactations. In Florida, about three-quarters of those animals were born in cooler parts of the year rather than in hotter months of the year. The pattern in California was similar, though not quite as extreme. (44:02)Dr. Tao and Dr. Dahl expand on the economics of cooling cows, including return on investment and the costs of not cooling. The guests also talk about some of their research abstracts at the 2025 ADSA meetings. (48:10)Panelists share their take-home thoughts.

I've always been fascinated by the idea of biological age, how “old” your body really is versus what your passport says. When I first heard about DNA methylation tests that claim to measure that, I was hooked. Could we really peek into our own cellular aging?In this episode, I am joined by Dr. David Furman, a leading scientist at the Buck Institute for Research on Aging and the Director of the Stanford 1000 Immunomes Project. Dr. Furman shares his extensive knowledge on biological age and breaks down the latest technologies in aging science. With decades of expertise, he explains why current biological age tests, especially epigenetic clocks, aren't as reliable as they may seem, and what advancements are on the horizon.He explains why inflammation is at the center of age-related diseases and how targeting it could improve our health span, thus helping us not just live longer, but better.We also touch on some fascinating new technologies, including microgravity-based aging tests, which simulate the effects of aging on cells, revealing how specific organs may age differently.Plus, we get a glimpse into a smartphone app that can measure inflammation with just a selfie!Want to learn more about the future of aging and how you can take control of your biological age?

When newlyweds Tony and Deb Pickman moved into their new home in Atchison, Kansas in March 1993, they were excited to have found what they believed was the perfect home for their new family. But that summer, when Deb gave birth to their son, Taylor, things in the Pickman's new house went from perfect to terrifying in a matter of months.Considered one of the most haunted houses in America, the Pickman's experienced everything from disembodied voices and moving objects to spontaneous fires and violent physical attacks before finally deciding to abandon the house altogether, rather than risk their lives any further. In the years since, “Sallie's House,” as it's become known due to its ghostly inhabitant, has become a major destination for ghost hunters and thrill-seekers alike.Want to see the Sam & Colby Video we talked about in the episode?

Osteoporosis affects 10 million Americans, and research shows resistance training effectively builds bone density by creating mechanical stress that signals bone-building cells to strengthen skeletal structure Weightlifting (80% to 85% of your 1 rep max) performed two to three times weekly produces the greatest bone density gains, while walking and swimming provide insufficient force for bone strengthening Essential exercises include squats, deadlifts, incline pushups, hip rotations, and chair squats, progressing gradually in intensity while maintaining proper form to minimize injury risk Blood flow restriction (BFR) training, also known as KAATSU in Japan, enhances bone formation markers even at low intensities, allowing effective muscle and bone strengthening without heavy weights or pain Consistency matters most. Research shows that training for one year or more significantly improves bone mineral density, cortical thickness, and overall bone geometry across all ages and genders
Price increases are price increases, and consumers will bemoan inflation no matter the cause, right? Maybe not so much.

But first, Louisiana will be building the first “rare earths separation facility” in the U.S.

Have you noticed your teen spending more time online but seeming more withdrawn in real life?Are you wondering if what your teen is experiencing is normal teenage behavior—or signs of something deeper, like loneliness? In this powerful episode, we dive into The Loneliness Epidemic in Teens. Research shows that about half of adolescents today report feeling lonely—and many experience this at least once a week. Our guest, Lucy Rose, founder and leader of The Cost of Loneliness Project, shares eye-opening insights on what chronic loneliness looks like, how it differs from normal teenage growing pains, and why it has skyrocketed since COVID. Together, we explore practical ways moms can recognize signs of loneliness, start compassionate conversations, and help their teens rebuild real-life connections in an age dominated by screens. Guest Bio: Lucy Rose is the founder and leader of The Cost of Loneliness Project. A global relationship builder and award-winning expert in pharmaceutical health strategy, regulatory affairs, and communications, Lucy is committed to raising awareness about the personal, societal, and economic costs of loneliness. Through her work, she helps individuals, families, and communities create a culture of connectedness that fosters healthier, longer, and happier lives. Three Takeaways: Loneliness is not just sadness—it's a lack of connection. Chronic loneliness impacts physical and emotional health, and it's on the rise among teens. Connection is a muscle. Teens who spend most of their social time online may forget how to initiate or maintain real-life friendships—but those skills can be relearned. Model connection at home. Create small family rituals, put down the screens during meals, and show your teen that relationships take intention, empathy, and time.

In this solo episode, Dr. Debi shares 11 anonymized, real-world scenarios showing how unhealed betrayal quietly derails performance, leadership, health, and culture at work. From weight changes and gut issues to micromanagement, perfectionism, disengagement, and self-betrayal, you'll see how a personal rupture (even years old) can surface on the job—and what to do about it. You'll also hear research-backed prevalence stats (weight, gut, sleep) and a clear invitation to move from Stages 2–3 (shock and survival) into Stages 4–5 (healing and growth). Who this episode is for Professionals, leaders, and founders who feel “off” at work and can't trace why HR/people leaders noticing unexplained dips in performance, morale, or collaboration Anyone who suspects an earlier betrayal might still be shaping today's choices, health, and capacity Key concepts & signals Betrayal shows up at work physically (weight, gut, sleep), mentally (focus, overthinking), emotionally (hypervigilance, distrust). Nervous system hijack: After broken trust, people often swing to micromanagement, second-guessing, isolation, or over-preparation. Stages matter: Creativity, confidence, and connection typically reliably return as you move into Stages 4–5 of the 5-Stage model. Research snapshots (from Debi's community data): Weight/eating struggles: ~47% Gut issues (IBS/Crohn's/constipation/diarrhea): ~45% Sleep problems: ~68% Case snapshots (anonymized) Sarah — Weight & confidence spiral Discovery of husband + best friend affair → stress eating → +40 lbs, pre-diabetes, energy crash. Missed two promotions; client-facing confidence plummeted. Marcus — Gut & career derailment Brother's $50k “investment” betrayal (borrowed from 401k) → nausea → IBS, 30 missed days in 6 months, $12k out-of-pocket care → transfer to lower-paying support role. Jennifer — From empowering to micromanaging Daughter's addiction/deceit eroded trust → hypervigilance, excessive approvals, morale drop → $30k demotion. David — Cultural catalyst to clock-watcher Father covertly rewrote will for estranged sister → emotional numbness → stopped mentoring/initiatives → ~25% drop in departmental satisfaction. Lisa — Anxiety, over-prep, stalled growth Fiancé + maid of honor affair weeks before wedding → panic in meetings, medical leave, therapy costs → over-preparation and hesitation → lost Senior Manager promotion. Tom — Creativity collapse Close friend's emotional affair with his partner during family caregiving → withdrew creative risk-taking → lost edge in pitches → 3 major accounts (~$2M) missed. Rachel — Sleepless CEO Sister's manipulation of elderly mother & finances → insomnia, ruminations → poorer board-level decisions, investor strain, performance dip; sleep meds added side-effects. Kevin — Isolation after double betrayal Wife left for best friend → withdrew from people, closed-door leadership → cross-functional effectiveness down ~40%; silos and delays multiplied. Maria — Paralysis by over-analysis Business + romantic partner embezzled to fund secret life → hyper-checking, documentation glut → missed time-sensitive opportunities; costly lost trading advantage. Robert — Purpose lost, pipeline thins Adult son (aided by brother) sued him for “emotional damages” → quit mentoring/junior development → leadership pipeline weakened; burnout → early retirement. Andrea (self-betrayal) — Successful but misaligned Pressured away from teaching into law → chronic fatigue, migraines, disengagement, ~30% billable drop, ~$800k lost potential revenue → leave of absence. The cost wasn't only professional—it was existential. How to spot it (self-check) “I don't recognize how I lead or work anymore.” (micromanaging, over-prepping, perfectionism) “My body is louder than my calendar.” (gut flares, migraines, insomnia before big decisions) “I'm here but not really here.” (numbness, disengagement, loss of initiative/mentoring) “I don't trust my read on people.” (multiple confirmations for simple tasks, second-guessing) “I'm productive—but always late.” (hyper-vigilant thoroughness that kills timeliness) “I'm successful—and empty.” (self-betrayal: achievement without meaning) Try this: 6 reflection prompts Which case felt uncomfortably familiar—and why? Where does betrayal show up most for you: body, mind, or relationships at work? What do you over-do (control, analyze, isolate) to feel safer—and what does it cost? Which responsibility did you stop (mentoring, initiating, pitching) after the rupture? What would “Stage 4–5 me” do differently this week? If self-betrayal is the theme, what small act of alignment could you take in 72 hours? If you lead a team (HR, managers, execs) Watch for sudden style flips (empowering → micromanaging; creative → conventional). Replace “performance policing” with support + boundaries (clear priorities, fewer approvals, flexible micro-rest). Offer psychological safety + access to evidence-based healing resources; normalize PTO for real recovery. Protect culture carriers (your “Davids”)—and rebuild when they dim. Practical next steps Name it: If you recognized yourself, that's progress. Assess: Take the Post Betrayal Syndrome® indicators seriously (weight, gut, sleep). Stabilize the body: Basic routines (sleep hygiene, hydration, movement) reduce reactivity. Skill up: Learn boundaries, rebuild self-trust, and pace decisions during healing. Advance stages: If you're in Stages 2–3, get guided support to move into 4–5, where creativity, confidence, and connection reliably return. Share back: Tell Dr. Debi which story resonated most; it helps tailor future episodes. Memorable lines “We can try to leave betrayal at the door—but our body and leadership bring it to work.” “Micromanagement is often a trust injury in disguise.” “Success that betrays you is still betrayal.” Resources & links The PBT Institute — programs, coaches, community: https://thepbtinstitute.com/ Corporate/HR offerings & talks: https://thepbtinstitute.com/corporate/ Tell Dr. Debi which scenario hit home for you, and what you'll try this week.

We are in the middle of a battery boom, for EVs and even more for BESS. What's really happening in the electric vehicle (EV) market? Is China dominating the field, or are serious alternatives emerging? What roles are Europe, the U.S., and other global regions playing? Which chemistries are winning out, and how are prices trending? These are the questions we ask ourselves every day — and today, Gerard and Laurent are thrilled to have someone who can help us answer them. Laurent and Gerard are joined by the brilliant Iola Hughes, Head of Research at Benchmark Mineral Intelligence, following its acquisition of Rho Motion. Iola leads research across the battery demand spectrum — from EVs to stationary storage — managing forecasts, tracking battery chemistries, and analyzing the impact of everything from regulation to OEM strategies and technology roadmaps. According to Benchmark Mineral Intelligence and Rho Motion, as of 2025:The Battery Energy Storage Systems (BESS) sector is growing at 40% year-over-yearThe EV market is expanding by 25% year-over-year But perhaps the most surprising trend is that forecasts made just 18 months ago are being exceeded — in nearly every region except the United States. There, the current administration appears to be kneecapped the industry by rolling back both incentives (like tax credits) and regulations (such as CAFE and emissions standards). Nissan in the US is moving back from EVs to hybrids while GM passes billions of impairments. On the industrial side, it's increasingly a case of China versus the world. China now has the capacity to manufacture a staggering 50 million vehicles per year, far outpacing domestic demand and sparking concerns about overcapacity. In summary: we are witnessing a growing divide in the global battery and EV space. China is clearly in the lead. Europe and others are racing to catch up. And the U.S.? It's at risk of falling further behind — not for lack of potential, but because of political and policy choices.https://www.benchmarkminerals.com/ https://www.linkedin.com/in/iolahughes/ https://x.com/RhoMoIola Stunning visuals from FT on the development of batteries (most of the sources came from Benchmark) https://ig.ft.com/mega-batteries
How do brands really live in our minds? According to Ulli Applebaum, it's all about associations — the complex web of meanings and emotions that define how people see your brand. This week on On Brand, the international strategy veteran and author of The Science of Brand Associations shares how we can use science, not guesswork, to build brands that stick. What You'll Learn Why brand associations are the “operating system” that shapes every strong brand How science explains the way memories form—and how marketers can build stronger ones The difference between positive and negative associations (and how to fix the latter) Why distinctiveness and focus matter more than ever for new brands Simple, science-backed tools to audit and strengthen your brand's mental network Episode Chapters (00:00) Intro (01:20) Why no one has written about brand associations—until now (03:40) The brain science behind how brands live in memory (06:20) Brand associations as your brand's operating system (08:00) How associations drive purchase and brand preference (10:20) Managing negative brand associations (14:50) What small brands can do to stand out (23:50) The brand that's made Ulli smile recently Ulli Appelbaum is an internationally recognized brand strategist, consultant, and author with more than 25 years of experience shaping business-building strategies for some of the world's top brands. Before launching his consultancy First The Trousers Then The Shoes, he held senior strategy roles at agencies including BBDO Germany, Leo Burnett Chicago, Fallon Worldwide, and SapientNitro. Ulli's work has earned seven Effies and an ARF Ogilvy Award for Excellence in Research. His latest book, The Science of Brand Associations: Win Minds, Win Markets, is a first-of-its-kind guide to understanding and building the mental networks that make brands thrive. What Brand Has Made Ulli Smile Recently? Ulli chose KitKat — a brand he's admired for decades for its clever, humorous advertising and the enduring “Have a Break” positioning. He recalls a classic British TV spot where a photographer takes a break with a KitKat just as the panda he's waiting to capture starts ice-skating behind him. It's a moment that's stuck in his mind for 25 years — proof, he says, of how powerful brand associations can be. Resources & Links Connect with Ulli on LinkedIn.

Episode: 00290 Released on October 27, 2025 Description: In this episode of the Research Remix deep dive, Jason Elder and Jamie Roush tackle one of the biggest issues facing law enforcement agencies today: the police staffing crisis. Drawing from recent research by Wilson and Gramme (2024), Jamie reframes the conversation from simply hiring more officers to rethinking workload-based approaches and smarter deployment.

From integrating CAD and GIS data to considering new technologies like AI reporting tools and chatbots, this episode explores actionable strategies to make policing more efficient, equitable, and sustainable. Whether you're an analyst, commander, or researcher, this conversation provides a roadmap to move beyond “do more with less” toward a smarter, systems-based understanding of workforce planning.

In episode 509 I chat with Ian O'Brien. Ian is a psychotherapist based in Dublin, Ireland, who specialises in OCD. We discuss his OCD story including relationship OCD (rOCD) and pOCD, getting therapy, support groups, and becoming a therapist.
