Rhythm is everywhere. Even if you don't think you have it, it's fundamental to humans' biological systems. Our heartbeat is rhythmic. Speech is rhythmic. Even as babies, humans can track basic rhythm. Researchers wanted to find out if there were more layers to this: Could babies also track melody and more complicated rhythms? So they played Bach for a bunch of sleeping newborns and monitored the babies' brains to see if they could predict the next note. What they found offers clues about whether melody and rhythm are hard-wired in the human brain or learned over time. We also get into what powers the eating habits of some snakes and chameleons, and insights into the role of sleep in problem-solving.Have a scientific question you want us to answer?

This episode is a little different than usual—less about a specific encounter and more about an honest, thoughtful conversation. Brian welcomes Luke from Canada, who reached out not to share a dramatic story, but simply to sit down and talk about Sasquatch, research, and where the subject is headed. What followed was an open, candid exchange that reflects what happens when two curious minds meet without an agenda beyond understanding.In this conversation, Brian and guest Luke, a seasoned hunter and dedicated Sasquatch researcher from Alberta, Canada, dive into the serious side of Bigfoot research. Luke talks about his evolution from a casual observer to someone deeply invested in field documentation, stressing the importance of ruling out ordinary explanations and looking for patterns and consistency rather than chasing sensational moments.Brian opens up about the balancing act of being a content creator in the Sasquatch world—trying to entertain while staying grounded in responsible research—and the skepticism and ridicule that often come with that territory. Together, they explore how modern tools like drones and AI are changing the research landscape, as well as how documentaries and media portrayals shape public perception of the subject. The conversation ultimately circles back to the need for honesty, open-mindedness, and intellectual humility within the research community.Rather than trying to convince anyone, Brian and Luke encourage listeners to think critically, stay curious, and if they choose to explore the woods, to do so responsibly and with respect for both nature and the mystery itself.Email BrianGet Our FREE NewsletterGet Brian's Books Leave Us A VoicemailVisit Our WebsiteBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/sasquatch-odyssey--4839697/support.

HEALTH NEWS   Choline intake in pregnancy linked to lower inflammation Fatty acids found to influence immune defense during chronic infections Online shopping and social media use linked to higher stress levels Scientists Discover Natural Compounds With Unexpected Benefits for Skin, Anti-Aging, and Heart Health Discrimination damages the body—and makes victims age faster   Choline intake in pregnancy linked to lower inflammation Cornell University, February 5 2026 (Eurekalert)   A new Cornell University study suggests that choline, a nutrient many pregnant people consume too little of, may play an underappreciated role in keeping inflammation in check during pregnancy. Choline is an essential nutrient involved in many biological processes, including cell membrane structure, neurotransmitter production, methylation, immune cell receptor agonism, and fetal brain development, and some of these biochemical processes play a role in the regulation of inflammation. It is found primarily in eggs, meat, fish, dairy and some legumes and cruciferous vegetables. Researchers analyzed data from more than 1,300 pregnant participants enrolled in the Alberta Pregnancy Outcomes and Nutrition (APrON) cohort, one of the most detailed long-running pregnancy nutrition studies in North America. They found that higher recent dietary choline intake was associated with lower levels of inflammation in the third trimester. Most strikingly, participants with the highest choline intakes had dramatically lower odds of having clinically elevated inflammation than those with the lowest intakes.The current recommendation for choline during pregnancy is 450 mg, but there's some evidence that that may not be enough.     Fatty acids found to influence immune defense during chronic infections University of California at San Diego, February 5 2026 (Medical Xpress) Our immune system implements an array of strategies to combat threatening infections. White blood cells called cytotoxic T lymphocytes or "CD8 T cells" are soldiers of the immune system, serving as defensive agents that fight invading pathogens. When CD8 T cells reach the point of exhaustion, their protective capabilities decline and the immune system is much less effective. University of California San Diego immunologists have now studied the influences related to metabolism and the environment surrounding CD8 T cells. Their study led to intriguing new insights on the role of fatty acids in chronic infections and other persistent conditions, such as tumors. The research focused on metabolites, including small molecules such as amino acids, sugars, and lipids, in mice that play key roles in metabolism and its many functions and pathways. The study examined how such metabolites circulating in the blood change during short-lived or long-lasting viral infections. They discovered that an ongoing viral infection causes a brief but striking shift in the availability of nutrients in the early stages after infection. They saw levels of fatty acids increase during the first week after infection, associated with infection-induced changes in eating behavior and fat breakdown. At the same time, a special group of exhausted CD8 T cells with stem-like properties was found to absorb and store more fat than other T cells. These cells were able to use fatty acids as an energy source to power their mitochondria, the cell's energy producers. When fatty acids were provided later during chronic infection, the number of stem-like T cells expanded.   Online shopping and social media use linked to higher stress levels     Aalto University (Finland), January 9 2026 (News-Medical) Planning to save time by doing your shopping online? If so, it's possible you're not doing your well-being any favors. A study from Aalto University in Finland has found that online shopping is more strongly linked to stress than reading the news, checking your inbox or watching adult entertainment.  Previous studies have shown that social media and online shopping are often used to relieve stress. However, the new results show that a rise in social media use or online shopping is linked to an increase in self-reported stress across multiple user groups and across devices. The study found that users of YouTube and streaming services, as well as online gamers, also reported increased stress levels. For people experiencing high-stress, time spent on social media was twice more likely to be linked to stress as compared to time spent on gaming. Somewhat surprisingly, people who spent a lot of time on news sites reported less stress than others. On the other hand, those who already experienced a lot of stress didn't spend much time on news sites. Overall, the study found a strong connection between internet use, in general, and heightened stress, especially among those who already experienced a lot of stress in daily life. Women reported more stress than men, and the older and wealthier the participant, the less stress they experienced.   Scientists Discover Natural Compounds With Unexpected Benefits for Skin, Anti-Aging, and Heart Health Meijo University (Japan), February 5, 2026 (SciTech Daily) Scientists have found that certain natural compounds produced by algae and cyanobacteria may offer benefits beyond sun protection, including support for skin health and cardiovascular function. In lab experiments, two mycosporine-like amino acids were found to do more than soak up ultraviolet light. They also slowed down a major enzyme tied to blood pressure control, while showing antioxidant and anti-aging activity. One enzyme, Porphyra-334, is abundant in edible seaweed, which is already consumed widely in many countries. This raises the possibility that everyday foods may contain underappreciated bioactive compounds worthy of further health-related research.These compounds, called mycosporine-like amino acids (MAAs), are produced by seaweeds and other tiny organisms that spend their lives exposed to intense light. MAAs work like built in sun filters by absorbing ultraviolet (UV) radiation before it can harm cells. One of the most notable findings came from experiments on the inhibiting the angiotensin-converting enzyme ACE, a key regulator of blood pressure. Many widely prescribed hypertension drugs work by blocking ACE. Both compounds reduced the activity of this enzyme in laboratory tests, marking the first report of such an effect for MAAs. Although the observed effects were moderate and measured outside the human body, the discovery opens a new direction for future research.     Discrimination damages the body—and makes victims age faster University of Montreal, January 19 2026 (Medical Xpress) Has being discriminated against as an LGBTQ+ person been so bad, the stress so heavy, that the victim can literally feel it in their bones? Well, it turns out that's exactly what happens: discrimination damages the body and brain. That's the conclusion of a new study by researchers at Université de Montréal, who found that discrimination against sexually and gender-diverse people leaves measurable biological traces in the body—so much so, it should be considered a chronic health burden. Published in Psychoneuroendocrinology, the study was done on 357 Montreal adults aged 18 to 79: They included 129 cisgender sexual minority men and women, 96 transgender and non-binary people, and 72 cisgender heterosexual men and women. UdeM researchers measured the participants' allostatic load, the cumulative biological wear-and-tear associated with chronic stress. They looked at 16 biomarkers affecting the subjects' cardiovascular, metabolic, neuroendocrine and immune systems. Results show that major life experiences of discrimination and daily microaggressions were positively associated with allostatic load. This means that these two types of discriminatory events independently contribute to physiological dysregulation, creating a cumulative health burden and accelerated aging. The study revealed significant disparities: people on the male spectrum (cisgender and transgender men) had the highest levels of allostatic load, while sexual minority men (bisexual and gay) also showed high levels of biological stress.

After the Irish fought for and won their independence from the British in 1921, they had a problem. Centuries of exploitation had left the island one of the least forested nations in Europe, with less than 2% tree cover.  So, they started planting a non-native American tree: fast-growing Sitka spruce capable of rebuilding their timber resources in record time. And it worked. Today, about 17% of the island is forested. But in the rural areas where iconic rolling hills have been replaced by rows and rows of conifers, farmers are not happy.  Outside/In host Nate Hegyi takes us to County Leitrim, an area of Ireland hit hard by the Troubles and the Great Famine, to meet the townspeople who are fighting what they say is a new wave of colonialism: Sitka spruce plantations.

A vast amount of our built environment is made of concrete. It’s largely affordable, durable and easy to make. It’s also responsible, by some estimates, for roughly 8% of global CO2 emissions.   But the U.S. is also facing a significant housing demand shortage, and since concrete is one of the primary building materials for houses and apartments, scientists are working to make it more sustainable to produce.   Late last year, a research lab at Oregon State University made a breakthrough when they created a more environmentally friendly concrete derived from soil instead of cement. Besides emitting less CO2 during production, it’s strong, dries fast and it can be 3D printed more rapidly.   Devin Roach is an assistant professor of manufacturing and mechanical engineering at OSU. He joins us to share more about how the concrete was made, why it’s useful and the possibilities for commercial use.  

If a 10-billion-ton hunk of glacial ice falls into the arctic ocean and no one is around to hear it, does it make a sound?   Erin Pettit and researchers at Oregon State University were set to find out.   They’ve been studying melting glaciers by dropping hydrophones — specialized underwater microphones — into the water near these massive ice formations. It turns out, glacial ice has a surprising song: Hissing, popping and sizzling of pressurized bubbles bursting, and low rumbling and crackling of glacial calving events. Some of these distinct noises can tell researchers how the formations have changed over time.   Pettit joins us to discuss her research and show us some of the sounds of glaciers she’s collected.  

SpaceTime with Stuart Gary Gary - Series 29 Episode 15In this episode of SpaceTime, we uncover intriguing discoveries about Mercury's geological activity, NASA's innovative Dragonfly mission to Titan, and the environmental impacts of rocket fuel pollution.Mercury's Surprising StreaksA new study reveals bright streaks, or lineae, on Mercury's surface, suggesting the planet is not as geologically inactive as previously thought. Researchers from the University of Bern utilized machine learning to analyze over 100,000 images from NASA's MESSENGER spacecraft, discovering that these streaks are likely caused by the outgassing of volatile materials from beneath Mercury's crust. This finding indicates ongoing geological processes and will be further explored by the BepiColombo mission, set to reach Mercury later this year.NASA's Dragonfly Mission to TitanNASA is developing the Dragonfly, a car-sized rotocopter designed to explore Saturn's moon Titan, which features methane and ethane lakes. Scheduled for launch in 2028, Dragonfly will utilize Titan's dense atmosphere to fly to various locations, examining environments that may harbor organic materials essential for life. The mission builds on the success of the Ingenuity rotocopter on Mars, with extensive testing underway to ensure optimal performance in Titan's unique conditions.Rocket Fuel Pollution and the Ozone LayerA recent study highlights the damaging effects of burning rocket fuels, such as kerosene, on Earth's ozone layer. The report indicates that the rapid growth of the rocket launch industry is exacerbating this issue, particularly affecting regions like Antarctica and parts of Australia. Researchers are calling for restrictions on the use of these fuels to mitigate environmental harm.www.spacetimewithstuartgary.com✍️ Episode ReferencesNature Communications, Earth and EnvironmentClimate and Atmospheric ScienceBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/spacetime-your-guide-to-space-astronomy--2458531/support.(00:00:00) Streaks on the surface of Mercury suggesting it's not quite dead yet(00:11:13) Burning rocket fuel damages Earth's ozone layer, study finds(00:12:28) A new study claims cyber attacks can spark intense social media discussions(00:14:53) Apple bans anti woke Holly Valent song from iTunes in Australia(00:16:39) Apple has now had hypertension notifications authorized by the TGN(00:18:04) Space Time is available every Monday, Wednesday and Friday through bitesz. com

In this episode of SpaceTime, we explore new insights into the origins of Earth's water, groundbreaking discoveries beneath the surface of Jupiter's volcanic moon Io, and how tectonic plate movements may have influenced Earth's climate throughout history.New Clues on Earth's Water OriginsA recent study published in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences reveals that asteroid and comet impacts could only account for a small fraction of Earth's water supply. By analyzing oxygen isotopes in lunar regolith collected during the Apollo missions, researchers found that the early Earth likely retained little to no water during its formative years. This challenges long-held beliefs and suggests that the majority of Earth's water must have originated from other sources, rather than being delivered by celestial bodies.Unprecedented Volcanic Activity on IoNASA's Juno spacecraft has captured remarkable data on Io, the most volcanically active body in our solar system. Observations from a December flyby revealed the most energetic eruption ever detected on Io, affecting a vast area of 65,000 square kilometers. The findings indicate that interconnected magma reservoirs beneath Io's surface are responsible for this extraordinary volcanic activity, providing new insights into the moon's geological dynamics and evolution.Tectonic Plates and Earth's ClimateA new study suggests that carbon released from shifting tectonic plates may have played a significant role in Earth's climatic transitions, rather than volcanic activity as previously thought. Researchers reconstructed carbon movements over the last 540 million years, providing evidence that carbon emissions from mid-ocean ridges were the primary drivers of climate shifts between ice ages and warmer periods. This research reshapes our understanding of past climate dynamics and offers valuable insights for future climate models.www.spacetimewithstuartgary.com✍️ Episode ReferencesProceedings of the National Academy of SciencesJournal of Geophysical Research PlanetsCommunications Earth and EnvironmentBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/spacetime-your-guide-to-space-astronomy--2458531/support.

In episode 246 of America Adapts, host Doug Parsons hosts Dr. Shiran Victoria Shen, assistant professor at Washington University in St. Louis, for a closer look at how climate adaptation actually emerges in China. Drawing on her research after the devastating 2021 Henan flood, Shen shows how public demand for adaptation surged—not through climate change language, but through calls for safety, infrastructure, and risk reduction, often using formal government channels. The conversation highlights adaptation as a lived governance issue rather than an ideological one, and surfaces practical lessons about public participation, the limits of top-down approaches, and what governments everywhere tend to respond to when climate risk becomes impossible to ignore.   Transcript of interview here.  Key Themes Covered in This Episode  How public demand for climate adaptation emerges after extreme disasters Why people often ask for adaptation without using "climate change" language The 2021 Henan flood as a national turning point for adaptation awareness in China Public participation and formal governance channels, including the Local Leaders' Message Board Differences between adaptation and mitigation from a governance perspective The limits of top-down adaptation and where citizen influence realistically ends What adaptation in China reveals about public engagement globally Lessons for policymakers, planners, and communicators working outside the U.S. Links & Resources from This Episode Shiran Victoria Shen – Faculty Page (Washington University in St. Louis) The 2021 Henan flood increased citizen demand for government-led climate change adaptation in China Shiran Victoria Shen – Research & Publications Dialogue Earth article: How the Chinese public is engaging in climate adaptation China's National Climate Change Adaptation Strategy (latest version) Background on the 2021 Henan Flood For Educators & Students This episode is well-suited for courses on climate adaptation, environmental governance, public policy, or comparative politics.

Broadcast from KSQD, Santa Cruz on 1-29-2026: An emailer asks about hemorrhoids affecting 2 relatives,a 60-year-old man and his 20-year-old daughter, with the daughter also experiencing constipation worsened by fiber supplements. Dr. Dawn explains hemorrhoids are essentially varicose veins of the anus, with 102 genetic regions identified affecting blood vessel and smooth muscle strength. She emphasizes that fiber supplements without adequate water create "cement in the pipe"—recommending 16-24 ounces of water with supplements and 2 liters of clear water daily. Miralax also requires sufficient hydration to work. Key strategies include exercise to stimulate gut motility, staying off the toilet if unable to produce results, using a standing desk to reduce prolonged sitting pressure, and triggering the gastrocolic reflex by eating. Dr. Dawn discusses research on the "volatilome"—volatile organic compounds in breath that reflect gut microbiome composition. Researchers using sterile mice colonized with specific bacteria could identify bacterial fingerprints through breath analysis. The technique identified disease-associated compounds for tuberculosis and malaria, and correlated specific gut bacteria with asthma severity in children. The research suggests breath testing could eventually replace stool samples for microbiome assessment and disease screening. She explains detoxification biochemistry, distinguishing between water-soluble toxins easily filtered by kidneys and fat-soluble toxins requiring liver transformation. Phase one converts fat-soluble molecules into reactive intermediates—dangerous if they linger—while phase two attaches water-soluble molecules like glutathione to neutralize them for excretion. Supporting phase two requires green tea, cruciferous vegetables, garlic, and curcumin. She cautions against extended fasting for detox, especially over age 50, as it depletes the body's detoxification resources and muscle mass. A caller asks about alkaline versus acidic water. Dr. Dawn explains you cannot alkalinize blood since kidneys maintain pH, but alkaline urine is beneficial. Rather than expensive alkaline waters, adding a pinch of baking soda achieves the same effect. Eating a 3:1 ratio of fruits, vegetables, and grains to animal products naturally alkalinizes urine. She notes lemons paradoxically alkalinize because kidneys overcompensate for the acid load. A caller asks about managing heart disease after receiving a third stent. Dr. Dawn recommends the Mediterranean diet over DASH for cardiac patients, as Mediterranean emphasizes fish, whole grains, and fiber that binds cholesterol for excretion, while DASH focuses on calcium for hypertension. She encourages exploring exercise options through meetup.com groups and the hospital's lifestyle center, emphasizing that consistent effort can reduce biological age by 3-5 years regardless of chronological age.

For years, she watched the same signs repeat themselves across Ontario—footprints appearing where they shouldn't, structures forming overnight, and locations that seemed to connect like a hidden corridor through parks, ravines, and public land.In this episode of Bigfoot Society, Anna, an Ontario-based Sasquatch researcher breaks her silence to describe what long-term exposure reveals that single encounters never do. Seasonal patterns. Juvenile and adult track sizes found together. X-structures placed with intent—and removed just as quickly.

An expedition to Antarctica has brought scientists and researchers to the widest glacier on Earth.

This episode features Jerry Tworek, a key architect behind OpenAI's breakthrough reasoning models (o1, o3) and Codex, discussing the current state and future of AI. Jerry explores the real limits and promise of scaling pre-training and reinforcement learning, arguing that while these paradigms deliver predictable improvements, they're fundamentally constrained by data availability and struggle with generalization beyond their training objectives. He reveals his updated belief that continual learning—the ability for models to update themselves based on failure and work through problems autonomously—is necessary for AGI, as current models hit walls and become "hopeless" when stuck. Jerry discusses the convergence of major labs toward similar approaches driven by economic forces, the tension between exploration and exploitation in research, and why he left OpenAI to pursue new research directions. He offers candid insights on the competitive dynamics between labs, the focus required to win in specific domains like coding, what makes great AI researchers, and his surprisingly near-term predictions for robotics (2-3 years) while warning about the societal implications of widespread work automation that we're not adequately preparing for. (0:00) Intro(1:26) Scaling Paradigms in AI(3:36) Challenges in Reinforcement Learning(11:48) AGI Timelines(18:36) Converging Labs(25:05) Jerry's Departure from OpenAI(31:18) Pivotal Decisions in OpenAI's Journey(35:06) Balancing Research and Product Development(38:42) The Future of AI Coding(41:33) Specialization vs. Generalization in AI(48:47) Hiring and Building Research Teams(55:21) Quickfire With your co-hosts: @jacobeffron - Partner at Redpoint, Former PM Flatiron Health @patrickachase - Partner at Redpoint, Former ML Engineer LinkedIn @ericabrescia - Former COO Github, Founder Bitnami (acq'd by VMWare) @jordan_segall - Partner at Redpoint

Welcome to the wonderful, winding world of Schauer Thoughts! This week we're meandering through new research from MIT on the rest and digest system, as well as making a sharp turn into “womb envy.” Is the rest and digest system related to womb envy? Not really. I mean, potentially? There is definitely a glandular route through the endocrine system, but I'm not taking that road today! Today I'm just covering two separate topics because I wanted to! Huzzah. Tear. Pour. Live More. Go to https://LIQUIDIV.com and get 20% off your first order with code SCHAUER at checkout. “Wait, so what are today's separate topics?” Rest & digest and then “womb envy.” Thank you again for joining me in the communal Schauer! There's a joke to be made about “womb envy” and a “baby Schauer” - please let me know if you come up with anything solid! Enjoy the episode.  Nuance for why I “don't want to get philosophical,” spoiler! It's not because I don't like philosophy, it's because we're going to get into “zero-sum” thinking and game theory and this is where people are going to argue about what economic systems are the “best” and people feel *compelled* to play devil's advocate.  Resources:  Behave: The Biology of Humans at Our Best and Worst - Robert M.

On today's Flyover Conservatives Show, we sat down to examine a newly published study exploring how near-infrared light therapy may support brain resilience during repeated head impacts. Researchers followed athletes across a full season and found that those using transcranial photobiomodulation showed more stable brain imaging markers tied to inflammation and structural stress compared to the control group. This conversation explores what the findings could mean not only for brain health, but also for recovery, aging, and how light-based therapies may support the body's natural repair systems.TO WATCH ALL FLYOVER CONTENT: www.theflyoverapp.com Follow and Subscribe on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@TheFlyoverConservativesShow To Schedule A Time To Talk To Dr. Dr. Kirk Elliott Go To ▶ https://flyovergold.comOr Call 720-605-3900 ► Receive your FREE 52 Date Night Ideas Playbook to make date night more exciting, go to www.prosperousmarriage.comJonathan OttoWEBSITE: www.myredlight.comUse Promo Code: FLYOVERFor 30% off the 30% coupons: promo code Flyover30Jonathan Otto is a filmmaker, journalist, and health advocate dedicated to exploring natural health solutions and challenging mainstream narratives.

Learn more about Michael Wenderoth, Executive Coach: www.changwenderoth.com“If you want the social benefits of being authentic, how you feel inside may have very little to do with it.” At work, we like to believe we're evaluated on substance. In reality, we're constantly being judged on how we perform— how authentic we seem, how prepared we appear, and how natural we look like in our role. In this episode of 97% Effective, host Michael Wenderoth speaks with Alexa Samaniego, Presentation Coach and Doctoral Researcher at Stanford University, about how we judge performances and performers — and why those judgments matter far more than most people realize. Drawing from behavioral research, one-on-one presentation coaching, and her background in theater and the performing arts, Alexa challenges some of the most comforting things we believe (“just be yourself,” “don't over-rehearse,” “there's universal best practices for presenting”) and replaces them with a more honest view of how credibility, competence, and connection are actually earned. This is not an episode about becoming fake. But it will get you thinking differently about how you show up at work if you want to better influence outcomes. You'll leave this episode with a much more realistic understanding of how you're really judged — and how to work with that reality, rather than against it.SHOW NOTESAlexa's path from theater and the creative arts to doctoral research and presentation coachingHow her background in performance shapes the research questions she studiesWhat organizational behavior research looks like in practice: an overview of the PhD arcWhy most people under-rehearse presentations — despite clear benefits of repetitionWhy fear of “sounding fake” leads people to underperformAlexa's two distinct definitions of authenticity: authentic to self vs. authentic to roleWhy being perceived as authentic matters more than feeling authenticSpontaneity and consistency as two key drivers of being seen as authenticHow researchers measure authenticity and test perceptions in lab and field settingsThe uncomfortable truth: social benefits depend on how you come across, not how you feelWhy we are always playing roles at work — and why separating intentions from behaviors matters“It only feels inauthentic because it's not habitual yet”Insights from actors on how to step into a role without losing yourselfThe “outside-in” effect: how dress, voice, and physical behavior shape perceptionTradeoffs between authenticity, polish, and competence at workAlexa's third research stream: the double-edged sword of being (and looking) preparedWhen preparation signals competence — and when it backfires as “trying too hard”Why “everything depends”: how Alexa's coaching changed after doing her researchHow universal presentation advice can fail across gender, culture, and contextDrawing from the outside world: how Alexa's theater background differentiates her research lensHorror films, storytelling, and what they reveal about authenticity and self-expressionAlexa's hard truth: research is powerful, but techniques must be practiced before being used in high-stakes settings BIO AND LINKSAlexa Samaniego is a Presentation Coach and a doctoral researcher in Organizational Behavior (Micro) at the Stanford Graduate School of Business. Her research is inspired by her background in theatre and the performing arts, and examines how speakers and audiences judge others. Her research informs her work as a presentation coach in the Stanford Oral Communication Program and with TEDxStanford. Prior to beginning her PhD, Alexa worked as a research associate at Achievers Workforce Institute and Columbia Business School. She received her BS in Business Psychology from UC San Diego and her MS in Applied Psychology from San Diego State University.

Rather than pushing one false claim, these swarms test thousands of micro-messages across platforms, identify which narratives gain traction with which audiences, and dynamically reinforce them using synthetic text, images, and increasingly video. Researchers warn this model overwhelms traditional fact-checking and moderation, exploits algorithmic amplification, and blurs the line between foreign and domestic influence, particularly when paired with real grievances.

Alzheimer's disease isn't always the only health condition a person faces, so how does treating other diseases impact the progression of Alzheimer's? Researchers at the University of Arizona focused on four common health conditions – type two diabetes, hypertension, inflammation and dyslipidemia – which are known to increase the risk of developing Alzheimer's disease, and set out to investigate whether those diagnosed with Alzheimer's who received treatments for these four conditions also saw a delay in cognitive decline. Dr. Barb Bendlin joins the podcast to break down the findings from this research, as well as discuss the impact of personalized prevention strategies and combination therapies. Guest: Barbara Bendlin, PhD, professor, Division of Geriatrics and Gerontology, University of Wisconsin (UW) School of Medicine and Public Health, deputy director, UW Center for Health Disparities Research (CHDR) Show Notes Read the study, “Combination therapy targeting Alzheimer's disease risk factors is associated with a significant delay in Alzheimer's disease–related cognitive decline,” published by Alzheimer's & Dementia: Translational Research & Clinical Interventions on the Alzheimer's Association's website.  Read more about the study in the article “Four Key Pieces Managing Common Health Conditions Slows Alzheimer's Progression,” published on the National Alzheimer's Coordinating Center's website.

Older adults often turn to prescription and over-the-counter sleep aids — but what do we really know about their long-term effects on brain health? A large, long-running UCSF study, published in the Journal of Alzheimer's Disease, examined the association between sleep medication use and risk of dementia in older adults. Researchers found that frequent use of sleep medications was linked to a higher likelihood of developing dementia among white participants, while the same pattern was not seen among Black participants. Dr. Yue Leng, PhD, an epidemiologist at UC San Francisco whose work explores how sleep, circadian rhythms, and napping relate to neurodegeneration and cognitive decline in older adults, was one of the researchers on the study.If you loved listening this Live Talk, visit our website to find more of our Alzheimer's coverage and subscribe to our newsletter: https://www.beingpatient.com/Follow Being Patient: Twitter: https://twitter.com/Being_Patient_Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/beingpatientvoices/Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/beingpatientalzheimersLinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/being-patientBeing Patient is an editorially independent journalism outlet for news and reporting about brain health, cognitive science, and neurodegenerative diseases.

Leila Philip explores beaver intelligence through the work of Harvard researcher Jordan Kennedy, who studies their collective behavior and connections to Indigenous Blackfeet knowledge. Beavers possess sensors in their tails to measure water flow rates, allowing them to make sophisticated decisions about where to build dams without being overwhelmed by strong currents.

I'm your host, Kate Shaw. This week we're going to talk about some amphibians and fish. Thanks to Aila, Stella, George, Richard from NC, Emilia, Emerson, and Audie for their suggestions! We'll start with Audie's suggestion, the sandbar shark. It's an endangered shark that lives in shallow coastal water in the Atlantic and Indo-Pacific Oceans. A big female can grow over 8 feet long, or 2.5 meters, while males are smaller on average. It can be brown or gray in color, and its dorsal fin is especially big for a shark its size. The sandbar shark eats fish, crustaceans like crabs, cephalopods like octopuses, and other small animals. It spends a lot of time near the bottom of the seabed, looking for food, and it will also swim into the mouths of rivers. Since it resembles a bull shark, which can live just fine in rivers for quite a while and which can be dangerous to swimmers, people are sometimes afraid of the sandbar shark, but it hardly ever bites people. It just wants to be left alone to find little fish to eat. Emilia and Emerson both asked to learn more about eels. Eels are fish, but not every animal that's called an eel is actually an eel. Some are just eel-shaped, meaning they're long and slender. Electric eels aren't actually eels, for instance, but are more closely related to catfish. The longest eel ever reliably measured was a slender giant moray. That was in 1927 in Queensland, Australia. The eel measured just shy of 13 feet long, or 3.94 meters. We talked about some giant eels in episode 401, but this week let's talk about a much smaller eel, one that Emerson suggested. That's the snipe eel, the name for a family of eels consisting of nine species known so far. They live in every ocean in the world, and some species are deep-sea animals but most live a little nearer the surface. The largest species can grow an estimated 5 feet long, or 1.5 meters, but because all species of snipe eel are so incredibly thin, even the longest individual weighs less than a football, either American or regular, take your pick. The snipe eel gets its name from its mouth, which is long and slightly resembles the beak of a bird called the snipe. The snipe is a wading bird that pokes its long, flexible bill into mud to find small animals like insect larvae, worms, and snails. But unlike the bird's bill, the snipe eel's jaws have a bend at the tip. The upper jaw bends upward, the lower jaw bends downward so that the tip of the jaws are separated. It doesn't look like that would be very helpful for catching food, but scientists think it helps because the fish's mouth is basically always open. Since it mainly eats tiny crustaceans floating in the water, it doesn't even need to open its mouth to catch food. It has tiny teeth along the jaws that point backwards, so when a crustacean gets caught on the teeth, it can't escape. The slender snipe eel is especially unusual because it can have as many as 750 vertebrae in its backbone. That's more than any other animal known. Most of its length is basically just an incredibly long, thin tail, with its organs bunched up right behind its head. Even its anus is basically on its throat. We don't know a whole lot about the snipe eel, since it lives deep enough that it's hardly ever seen by humans. Most of the specimens discovered have been found in the stomachs of larger fish. Now, let's leave the world of fish behind and look at some amphibians. First, George wanted to learn about the hellbender, and points out that it's also called the snot otter or lasagna lizard. I don't understand the lasagna part but it's funny. The hellbender is a giant salamander that lives in parts of the eastern United States, especially in the Appalachian Mountains and the Ozarks. It can grow nearly 30 inches long, or 74 cm, and is the fifth heaviest amphibian alive today in the whole world. It spends almost all its life in shallow, fast-moving streams hiding among rocks. As water rushes over and around rocks, it absorbs more oxygen, which is good for the hellbender because as an adult it breathes through its skin. To increase its surface area and help it absorb that much more oxygen, its skin is loose and has folds along the sides. The hellbender is flattened in shape and is brown with black speckles on its back. It mostly eats crayfish, but it will also eat frogs and other small animals. Its skin contains light-sensitive cells, which means that it can actually sense how much light is shining on its body even if its head is hidden under a rock, so it can hide better. Aila and Stella suggested we talk about the axolotl, and a few years ago Richard from NC sent me a lot of really good information about this friendly-looking amphibian. I'd been planning to do a deep dive about the axolotl, which we haven't talked about since episode 275, but sometimes having a lot of information leads to overload and I never did get around to sorting through everything Richard sent me. Richard also suggested we talk about a rare mudpuppy, so let's learn about it before we get to the axolotl. It's called the Neuse river waterdog, although Richard refers to it as the North Carolina axolotl because it resembles the axolotl in some ways, although the two species aren't very closely related. The mudpuppy, also called the waterdog, looks a lot like a juvenile hellbender but isn't as big, with the largest measured adult growing just over 17 inches long, or almost 44 cm. It lives in lakes, ponds, and streams and retains its gills throughout its life. The mudpuppy is gray, black, or reddish-brown. It has a lot of tiny teeth where you'd expect to find teeth, and more teeth on the roof of its mouth where you would not typically expect to find teeth. It needs all these teeth because it eats slippery food like small fish, worms, and frogs, along with insects and other small animals. The Neuse River waterdog lives in two watersheds in North Carolina, and nowhere else in the world. It will build a little nest under a rock by using its nose like a shovel, pushing at the sand, gravel, and mud until it has a safe place to rest. If another waterdog approaches its nest, the owner will attack and bite it to drive it away. The mudpuppy exhibits neoteny, a trait it shares with the axolotl. In most salamanders, the egg hatches into a larval salamander that lives in water, which means it has external gills so it can breathe underwater. It grows and ultimately metamorphoses into a juvenile salamander that spends most of its time on land, so it loses its external gills in the metamorphosis. Eventually it takes on its adult coloration and pattern. But neither the mudpuppy nor the axolotl metamorphose. Even when it matures, the adult still looks kind of like a big larva, complete with external gills, and it lives underwater its whole life. The axolotl originally lived in wetlands and lakes in the Mexico Central Valley. This is where Mexico City is and it's been a hub of civilization for thousands of years. A million people lived there in 1521 when the Spanish invaded and destroyed the Aztec Empire with introduced diseases and war. The axolotl was an important food of the Aztecs and the civilizations that preceded them, and if you've only ever seen pictures of axolotls you may wonder why. Salamanders are usually small, but a full-grown axolotl can grow up to 18 inches long, or 45 cm, although most are about half that length. Most wild axolotls are brown, greenish-brown, or gray, often with lighter speckles. They can even change color somewhat to blend in with their surroundings better. Captive-bred axolotls are usually white or pink, or sometimes other colors or patterns. That's because they're bred for the pet trade and for medical research, because not only are they cute and relatively easy to keep in captivity, they have some amazing abilities. Their ability to regenerate lost and injured body parts is remarkable even for amphibians. Researchers study axolotls to learn more about how regeneration works, how genetics of coloration work, and much more. They're so common in laboratory studies that you'd think there's no way they could be endangered—but they are. A lot of the wetlands where the axolotl used to live have been destroyed as Mexico City grows. One of the lakes where it lived has been completely filled in. Its remaining habitat is polluted and contains a lot of introduced species, like carp, that eat young axolotls as well as the same foods that axolotls eat. Conservationists have been working hard to improve the water quality in some areas by filtering out pollutants, and putting up special barriers that keep introduced fish species out. Even if the axolotl's habitat was pristine, though, it wouldn't be easy to repopulate the area right away. Axolotls bred for the pet trade and research aren't genetically suited for life in the wild anymore, since they're all descended from a small number of individuals caught in 1864, so they're all pretty inbred by now. Mexican scientists and conservationists are working with universities and zoos around the world to develop a breeding program for wild-caught axolotls. So far, the offspring of wild-caught axolotls that are raised in as natural a captive environment as possible have done well when introduced into the wild. The hard part is finding wild axolotls, because they're so rare and so hard to spot. Scientists have started testing water for traces of axolotl DNA to help them determine if there are any to find in a particular area. If so, they send volunteers into the water with nets and a lot of patience to find them. The axolotl reproduces quickly and does well in captivity. Hopefully its habitat can be cleaned up soon, which isn't just good for the axolotl, it's good for the people of Mexico City too.

This legislative session is the swan song for Colorado's outgoing governor, Jared Polis. He still has a lot on his "to do" list, but policy clashes within his own party could create some challenges. We explore that today with Purplish. Then, a researcher at the Colorado School of Mines has developed a new way to treat deep wounds, and that could just be the beginning for its use. Also, what Colorado's two largest cities are doing to send a message to ICE. Plus, we answer a Colorado Wonders question about the impact of moose on our state. 

On Today's episode of Transforming Healthcare with Dr. Wael Barsoum, we are thrilled to have a longtime friend and colleague Dr. Carlos Higuera to discuss his journey as a true triple threat in orthopedics: clinician, researcher, and educator. Dr. Higuera is an internationally recognized orthopedic surgeon, Chairman of the Levitetz Department of Orthopaedic Surgery at Cleveland Clinic Florida, and past president of the Musculoskeletal Infection Society. Join us as we discuss global medical training, advances in orthopedic infection care, the role of research in improving patient outcomes, and the realities of balancing an intense professional career with family life.

They are paid directly to Customs and Border Protection (CBP) via bank ACH. This is a simple fact. Anything else you read or hear is factually incorrect. Importers can negotiate with foreign exporters (suppliers in other countries) to offset tariff costs, such as by securing lower purchase prices, rebates, or other contractual adjustments that effectively shift some financial burden back to the exporter. This is a common business practice in international trade to maintain competitiveness. However, importers cannot directly obtain funds from foreign governments to pay U.S. customs duties (tariffs), as tariffs are a U.S. revenue tool imposed on the importer of record, not on foreign entities. Foreign governments might offer their own exporters subsidies or incentives in response to tariffs, but those don’t flow directly to U.S. importers for tariff payment. https://twitter.com/profstonge/status/2013716660046213357?s=20 https://twitter.com/KobeissiLetter/status/2013984150835888368?s=20   By The Numbers… Trump’s (Second) First Year In 10 Charts    Since President Trump took office in January 2025, stock indexes have reached new highs.   Economic Growth After a 0.6 percent contraction in the first quarter, U.S. economic growth accelerated and exceeded economists' expectations in 2025, avoiding a feared recession. GDP grew by 3.8 percent in Q2 and 4.3 percent in Q3—the strongest performance in two years.   Inflation Inflation reached 9.1 percent in 2022, the highest level in decades. Although consumer prices remained elevated through 2025, inflation rates were lower than those recorded during the Biden administration.   Trade Despite the trade deficit widening in the first three months of 2025 as businesses rushed to front-run President Donald Trump's global tariffs, America's monthly trade balance has improved substantially.   Employment Since last summer, the U.S. labor market has been characterized by what some economists call “low fire, low hire,” with companies neither reducing nor expanding their workforce.   Gas Prices One of the major achievements of the Trump administration has been the substantial decline in gas prices. From record production to loosening regulations, businesses and consumers have seen lower energy costs.   Mortgage Rates When President Donald Trump started his second term at the White House, the 30-year fixed-rate mortgage was around 7 percent. Since then, it has fallen significantly, even temporarily sliding below 6 percent for the first time in more than three years.       Source: zerohedge.com https://twitter.com/EricLDaugh/status/2013708284016886078?s=20 President Trump won’t need Congress if he can have funds they’ve already appropriated distributed as “tariff dividends” by reframing the payments so they fit within the allocated budget.

The footage was posted to X on Tuesday morning. The video sheds light on the underground business of smuggling illegals into the US, helping them get jobs and bribing immigration judges to rule in their favor. A woman identified as Patricia “Pat” Golder claimed in the video that she takes some of the money given to West African migrants in exchange for her bribing judges to rule in their favor. An undercover reporter was introduced to Golder by a woman named Cindy Reis. “She gets them their papers. She does,” Reis told the reporter as she introduced him to Patricia Golder. “He knows about Mulberry Street.” “I try to work with them the best I can,” Golder said. Golder told the reporter that some of the migrants “have papers” and some don't. She said she helps the illegals get jobs but would not name the companies because of “the threat of ICE.” Later on in the video, Golder discloses that she visits judges at bars and restaurants. “If I can get to the judge. You know, that's the only person you want to talk to is the judge,” Golder says with a smile on her face. “Wait, say that again?” the reporter said. “If I can get to the judge it's okay. I make conversation with them,” Golder said. “If the judge says, “Yeah, Okay, $50,000 I send everybody to you,” she said. “I go to the bar like everybody drink. Spot the judge. I say, ‘You work on this date?' He's like, ‘let me see my calendar'…give me my $50G's,” she said. “The judge says that?” the reporter asked in disbelief.
