In this episode of Muscle Intelligence, Ben Pakulski sits down with Dr. Eduardo De Souza, one of the top hypertrophy researchers in the world, to break down the real science behind building muscle. They unpack why most studies don't use the gold standard (MRI), how ultrasound stacks up, and whether training volume, exercise selection, or rep schemes truly matter. They explore the myths around sarcoplasmic hypertrophy, how aging affects muscle quality, and what actually determines growth after 40. Whether you're a coach, athlete, or lifelong lifter, this is essential knowledge for training smarter, not just harder. Get ready for a deep, clear, and evidence-backed conversation on hypertrophy like you've never heard before.   Points To Watch Out For  MRI is still the gold standard for hypertrophy Ultrasound can be a valid, cheaper alternative Aging muscle shows more fibrous, non-contractile tissue High volume ≠ always better gains, individual response matters Effective Reps Model lacks peer-reviewed validation About Ben Ben Pakulski is the Chief Performance Officer to elite executives, successful entrepreneurs, and top athletes. With over 25 years of experience, he coaches high achievers to build the physical, psychological, and metabolic resilience required to lead at the highest level.

In this episode of SpaceTime, we embark on a thrilling journey through the cosmos, exploring the potential for life on Mars, a remarkable discovery in the outer solar system, and the crucial mapping of sulfur throughout our galaxy.Searching for Life on MarsA new study reveals that thick layers of clay on Mars could indicate stable environments conducive to life billions of years ago. Researchers have identified that these clay deposits likely formed in standing bodies of water, providing the right conditions for chemical weathering and potentially supporting ancient life. The findings suggest that the balance between water and carbon cycles on Mars may explain the planet's geological history and the absence of carbonate rocks. Lead author Rhianna Moore discusses how these stable terrains could have fostered habitable conditions for extended periods, offering insights into the Red Planet's wet past.Discovery of 2020 VN40: A Distant Cosmic CompanionAstronomers have discovered a rare celestial body, 2020 VN40, located far beyond Neptune, moving in perfect synchronicity with the ice giant. This trans-Neptunian object orbits the sun once for every ten orbits Neptune completes, providing new insights into the dynamics of the outer solar system. The discovery, reported in the Planetary Science journal, enhances our understanding of how distant objects interact with Neptune's gravity and offers clues about the solar system's evolution.Mapping Sulfur in the Milky WayA groundbreaking study has mapped the distribution of sulfur across the Milky Way, an essential element for life. Utilizing the CRISM X-Ray Imaging and Spectroscopy mission, scientists have directly measured sulfur in both its gaseous and solid forms within the interstellar medium. The findings shed light on sulfur's role in the cosmos and its potential implications for understanding life's distribution throughout the galaxy. This research marks a significant step in answering fundamental questions about the building blocks of life in the universe.www.spacetimewithstuartgary.com✍️ Episode ReferencesNature Astronomyhttps://www.nature.com/natureastronomy/Planetary Science Journalhttps://iopscience.iop.org/journal/2632-3338CRISM Missionhttps://www.nasa.gov/mission_pages/asteroids/overview/crism.htmlBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/spacetime-space-astronomy--2458531/support.

A small star with a planetary companion appears to be making a high-speed exit from the center of the Milky Way – perhaps fast enough to escape the galaxy entirely. The system is more than 24,000 light-years away, in Sagittarius. It appears to contain a red-dwarf star – a cool, faint ember about 20 percent the mass of the Sun. It’s accompanied by a “super-Neptune” – a planet about 30 times the mass of Earth. They’re separated by less than the distance from Earth to the Sun. What makes the system especially interesting is its high speed – at least 1.2 million miles per hour. That’s not fast enough to leave the Milky Way behind. But it could be moving a good bit faster. The system might have started as a member of a binary – two stars bound by gravity. The stars passed too close to the monster black hole in the galaxy’s heart. The black hole grabbed the other star, and gave the escapee a giant kick. On the other hand, the kick could have come from an encounter with a smaller black hole in the Milky Way’s crowded center. How the star maintained its grip on the planet is a key question. But the planet must have been in a tight orbit to avoid being yanked away. Researchers were scheduled to take some follow-up observations this month. That might reveal whether the system really is a star and planet on a high-speed ride through the galaxy. We’ll talk about another possible escapee tomorrow. Script by Damond Benningfield

The U.S. Bureau of Land Management has recently leased out more than 5,000 acres of public land for geothermal energy in Malheur County. Leasing of the land is the first step in developing geothermal resources - specifically, the production of electricity from heat within the earth. But how common is geothermal energy in the U.S. and what potential is there for its widespread use  in Oregon? Adam Schultz is a geophysics professor at Oregon State University and the president of Enthalpion Energy LLC, a geothermal company. He joins us to answer these questions and more.

In this episode of SpaceTime, we uncover groundbreaking revelations about dark energy, lunar geology, and Europe's innovative space weather monitoring initiative.Dark Energy: A Changing Force?Astronomers have compiled the largest supernova dataset to date, revealing tantalizing hints that dark energy may not be a constant force in the universe. This research, led by the International Supernova Cosmology Project, analyzes over 2,000 Type 1A supernovae to explore the evolving nature of dark energy, which currently comprises nearly 70% of the universe's mass-energy content. The findings suggest that if dark energy is weakening, it could significantly impact the universe's expansion and ultimate fate, challenging existing models and sparking excitement in the astrophysics community.New Insights into Lunar MagmaA recent study analyzing samples from China's Chang' e 5 mission indicates that molten magma may have persisted on the Moon's surface much longer than previously believed. Researchers, led by Stephen Alado, utilized radioactive dating to reveal that volcanic activity on the lunar far side could have continued for billions of years, contradicting earlier theories about the Moon's cooling process. This new understanding of lunar geology offers valuable insights into the Moon's evolution and the processes that shape celestial bodies.Europe's Space Weather Early Warning SystemThe European Space Agency is set to launch Vigil, a pioneering space weather probe, in 2031. Positioned at the Lagrangian L5 point, Vigil will provide unprecedented monitoring of solar activity, allowing for early warnings of solar storms that could disrupt communication systems and power grids on Earth. This mission aims to enhance our ability to predict and mitigate the impacts of space weather on modern infrastructure, marking a significant advancement in global space safety efforts.www.spacetimewithstuartgary.com✍️ Episode ReferencesAstrophysical Journalhttps://iopscience.iop.org/journal/1538-4357Science Advanceshttps://www.science.org/journal/sciadvESA Vigil Missionhttps://www.esa.int/Applications/Observing_the_Earth/Space_Weather/VigilBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/spacetime-space-astronomy--2458531/support.

AI's Impact on Search Behavior and Direct Cash Assistance: Key Insights for Nonprofits In this week's episode of Nonprofit Newsfeed the hosts dive into the evolving landscape of digital search and the effectiveness of cash assistance programs. They explore how AI-generated summaries on search engines like Google are altering user behavior and the implications for nonprofit content strategies. They also discuss a recent study on cash assistance's impact on low-income families and children's development. Main Topics Discussed: AI's Influence on Search Behavior: A Pew Research Center survey reveals that AI summaries in search results significantly reduce click-through rates. Users are 50% less likely to click on links when AI summaries are present, and browsing sessions tend to end faster. AI summaries are more prevalent in long-tail search queries, especially those starting with question words like "who," "what," "when," "where," "why." The discussion highlights the need for nonprofits to adapt their content strategies, focusing on brand presence and conversion optimization as traditional traffic metrics evolve. Effectiveness of Cash Assistance Programs: A New York Times report on a four-year cash assistance pilot shows no measurable improvement in children's development among low-income families receiving $333 monthly. Researchers suggest factors like the pandemic and small payment size might have influenced results. The findings spark debate on direct cash assistance's effectiveness, with George emphasizing the need for comprehensive support systems beyond financial aid. AI for Nonprofits Book Release: George shares excitement about contributing to "AI for Nonprofits," a comprehensive guide featuring insights from 57 experts on leveraging AI across nonprofit operations, fundraising, and marketing.

Two Lancaster County residents joined a group of American activists in visiting the Israeli-occupied West Bank last month. The group was forced to cut their two-week trip short. A Western Pennsylvania gas company is facing criminal charges for a massive natural gas leak at a gas storage field. The plume of gas drifted across Pennsylvania, all the way to Delaware and the Atlantic Ocean. Researchers at the University of Pennsylvania recently voted to form a union and will soon negotiate a contract. They're looking to secure more job protections and better salaries among other things. We are in the grips of a heat wave. A heat advisory continues through 8 pm Wednesday, across all of Central Pennsylvania and much of the state. The Pennsylvania Game Commission voted unanimously Monday to open up 10 Sundays for hunting late this summer into fall. The 10 Sundays begin on September 14 and stretch through December 7. Employees at Lancaster County's Red Rose Transit Authority are working under a contract that expired in May, and their next steps are taking many twists and turns. Pennsylvania's Department of Conservation and Natural Resources recently released its Outdoor Recreation Plan, which outlines the state's goals for expanding outdoor recreation over the next five years.

We were discussing the role of degrees in job seeking and hiring this week and we had a question from one person who said he was struggling to get interviews despite 30 years of experience. So we ask: What are the rules around ageism here in the UAE when it comes to getting a job? Lawyer Thenji Moyo joins Jennifer to shed light on this Researchers say we live in an age where loneliness is affecting people of all ages, genders and nationalities and it's a particular issue here in the UAE, where working days are long and relationships can feel transient. And now, it seems, this lack of close relationships is being worsened by a rise in ghosting - when a friend leaves your life with no warning and no explanation. So, why is ghosting on the rise and what does it mean for how we form friendships? We find out from Clinical Psychologist Dr Asha Dullabh. And a new UNICEF‐led UN study has found that nearly 60% of young people have experienced secondary trauma from consuming media content featuring graphic images of conflict online. Dr. Aseel Takshe, Acting Dean of the School of Health Sciences and Psychology at Canadian University Dubai tells us what it means about our online environment and what parents and young adults need to know.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Story at-a-glance A French government study found that glass bottles contain five to 50 times more microplastics than plastic bottles, mostly from the painted caps that seal them Researchers discovered that the microscopic plastic fragments in glass-packaged drinks matched the chemical makeup of the bottle cap paint, not the glass itself When bottle caps were pre-cleaned with filtered air and ethanol, microplastic levels dropped by over 60% — showing this problem is avoidable with simple changes Many people now consume roughly 5 grams of plastic per week — the weight of a credit card — from foods, drinking water, and even from breathing polluted air Microplastics accumulate in your organs, especially the brain, where they trigger inflammation, obstruct blood flow, and accelerate cognitive decline and neurodegeneration

In the late 2000s, unexplained mass die-offs of oysters at Whiskey Creek Shellfish Hatchery in Tillamook, Oregon helped scientists uncover a major threat to coastal ecosystems: ocean acidification.    Today, Oregon’s coast remains one of the areas most affected by this phenomenon. Each summer, deep ocean waters rich in carbon dioxide and low in oxygen rise to the surface — a natural process known as upwelling — creating corrosive conditions that make it harder for shellfish like oysters and crabs to form shells and survive.    Researchers at the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration and Oregon State University are currently on a scientific cruise to track acidification and low oxygen levels in real time along the Oregonian coast. Zachary Gold, a researcher with NOAA’s Pacific Marine Environmental Lab joins us to share what scientists are seeing right now in Oregon’s waters.  Alan Barton, production manager at Whiskey Creek Shellfish Hatchery, talks about what these conditions mean for local shellfish growers and how they’re working to adapt.  

This week's episode has the cohosts talking about social isolation and earlier death among the elderly population.   Studies have shown that loneliness is associated with a higher risk of mortality in older adults. For example, one study found that individuals experiencing loneliness at one or more points in time had a higher hazard for mortality compared to those who never experienced loneliness.  Loneliness can trigger physiological stress responses, potentially leading to chronic inflammation and reduced immunity. These factors can contribute to the development of various health problems, including heart disease, Alzheimer's, and other age-related illnesses.  Social isolation, which is closely linked to loneliness, can limit access to social support, including assistance with daily tasks, emotional support, and healthcare. This lack of support can negatively impact both physical and mental well-being.  Loneliness and social isolation have also been linked to poorer cognitive function and an increased risk of conditions like dementia.  Conversely, research suggests that maintaining social connections and receiving regular visits from loved ones can mitigate the risks associated with loneliness and potentially increase longevity.  In essence, according to many studies prior to 2025, loneliness can create a cycle of negative health impacts, potentially increasing the risk of premature death, while social connections and support can act as protective factors.  HOWEVER.... a new study was just reported last month that questions the previous assumptions.  Researchers tracking home care recipients in Canada, Finland, and New Zealand discovered something unexpected: lonely older adults were actually less likely to die within a year compared to their non-lonely peers. Among the most vulnerable seniors — those receiving help at home with daily activities — being lonely was associated with an 18% to 23% lower risk of death. We are sure more research will now be done to either support the newest study or previous studies.  Time will tell!

Welcome, listeners, to Ozempic Weightloss Unlocked – your trusted source for the latest news and updates on Ozempic and its impact on health, lifestyle, and medicine.Ozempic, originally developed by Novo Nordisk to help manage type two diabetes, has skyrocketed in popularity for its ability to suppress appetite, slow digestion, and help people achieve significant weight loss. Since its approval in 2017, Ozempic's active ingredient, semaglutide, has not only helped people lower their blood sugar, but has also turned into a twenty-one billion dollar blockbuster thanks to growing demand, celebrity mentions, and viral trends on social media.According to recent coverage on NDTV and Science Alert, millions have experienced meaningful weight loss while on Ozempic and similar appetite-suppressing medications. Reports mention that some users have lost up to twenty pounds or more within just a few months. However, new research from Peking University highlights an important concern: weight loss achieved with Ozempic is often not permanent. Studies analyzed over two thousand participants and found that when patients stopped taking these medications, they typically regained the lost weight—on average, about five and a half pounds within five months of discontinuation. Notably, those who lost the most during treatment tended to gain back more afterward. The underlying reasons for this pattern are not totally clear yet, but the body may undergo changes during weight loss that make it harder to maintain results once the medication is stopped.Aside from weight regain, another consideration is muscle loss. UVA Health researchers have found that while GLP-1 medications like Ozempic can help patients shed fat, about half the weight lost can actually be muscle. Dr. Zhenqi Liu has pointed out that losing muscle, especially those essential for posture and movement, can lower overall fitness and well-being. Because of this, experts recommend maintaining regular exercise routines and ensuring enough protein intake while on these medications to help preserve muscle mass.For those concerned about side effects, reports from The Independent note that although most users tolerate Ozempic well, nausea and digestive issues are common and have, in some cases, led to emergency room visits. But, there is promising news on the horizon: scientists have developed an experimental drug, known for now as TDP, that delivered weight loss in animal studies without causing nausea or vomiting. Human trials are expected to begin within two years.Shifting to broader health impacts, three newly presented studies at the Society of NeuroInterventional Surgery suggest medications like Ozempic may even have brain-protective benefits. Researchers from the University of Wisconsin–Madison found that patients taking Ozempic had a considerably lower risk of stroke-related death compared to those not taking the drug, and seemed to recover better post-stroke.Ozempic is also reshaping eating habits on a national scale. Food Dive recently reported that more than six million U.S. adults – about two percent of the population – are taking GLP-1 medications. Studies from the University of Arkansas show that, on average, users of Ozempic consume seven hundred fewer calories a day and tend to cut back on processed foods, sugary drinks, refined grains, and red meat. Grocery spending overall fell by six percent in households with someone on one of these medications. At the same time, consumption of fruits, leafy greens, and water has increased.However, it is crucial to consider possible psychological effects. Business Insider highlights concerns about new or worsened eating disorders among some users, particularly in those with previous histories of restrictive eating. Experts strongly advise against taking these medications without a genuine medical need.The rise of Ozempic and similar medications represents a major shift in how we approach weight loss and chronic disease—but it is not without its caveats. If you or someone you know is considering or already using Ozempic, make sure to consult with a healthcare professional for comprehensive guidance, emphasizing not just the numbers on the scale, but also total health and long-term wellness.That wraps up this episode of Ozempic Weightloss Unlocked.

Mars won’t exactly roll out the red carpet for human explorers. In fact, the Red Planet could be deadly. It’s bitterly cold, the air is too thin to breathe, there’s no ozone layer to block the Sun’s ultraviolet rays, and there’s no magnetic field to deflect solar storms. And if that’s not enough, there’s one more potential hazard: dust. A recent study said the dust could damage lungs and other organs and cause nasty diseases. Dust covers much of the planet, giving Mars its orange color. It’s easily lofted by the wind, and dust storms can blanket much or all of the planet. Researchers studied the dust, along with problems that Apollo astronauts experienced with Moon dust. They found that the Mars dust grains are too small to be filtered out by the lungs. Instead, they’d enter a person’s bloodstream. Not only are the grains abrasive, but the dust contains high levels of some nasty compounds. So the dust could cause everything from thyroid problems to a condition similar to black-lung disease. Some ailments could be treated on Mars. But any serious problems might require help from Earth – a journey of months. So Mars travelers will need good air filters, self-cleaning spacesuits, and other methods to protect them from the deadly sands of Mars. Mars stands close to the crescent Moon as darkness falls this evening. It looks like a fairly bright star – a hazardous destination for human explorers. Script by Damond Benningfield

I am writing this to reflect on my experience interning with the Fish Welfare Initiative, and to provide my thoughts on why more students looking to build EA experience should do something similar. Back in October, I cold-emailed the Fish Welfare Initiative (FWI) with my resume and a short cover letter expressing interest in an unpaid in-person internship in the summer of 2025. I figured I had a better chance of getting an internship by building my own door than competing with hundreds of others to squeeze through an existing door, and the opportunity to travel to India carried strong appeal. Haven, the Executive Director of FWI, set up a call with me that mostly consisted of him listing all the challenges of living in rural India — 110° F temperatures, electricity outages, lack of entertainment… When I didn't seem deterred, he offered me an internship.

Seaweed farms offer many benefits. They provide food for people, habitat for fish and other organisms, and protection against erosion during storms. They can help prevent “red tides,” and could become a source of biofuel.Seaweed stores carbon in the sediments on the ocean floor. That helps reduce the amount of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere, which is the major cause of our warming climate.Wild seaweed forests already stash away huge amounts of carbon. Farms cover a much smaller area, so their benefit is smaller. But seaweed farming is a “growing” business—the yield has been increasing by more than seven percent per year. Almost all of the farming takes place in Asia. The United States is a minor player, but farms have been developed in New England, the Pacific Northwest, and Alaska.Researchers studied the sediments below 20 seaweed farms in various parts of the world. The oldest, in Tokyo Bay, has been around for 320 years. The largest, in China, covers 58 square miles.The scientists found that the amount of carbon in the sediments below the farms was twice that found in the surrounding sediments. And they found that as a farm ages, it becomes more efficient at “planting” the carbon.Estimates say that seaweed farms could cover many times their present area by 2050. And the researchers said that if the farms are efficiently managed, they could become important weapons in the fight against our warming climate.

00:46 How hot can solid gold get?A new study suggests that gold can be superheated far beyond its melting point without it becoming a liquid. Using an intense burst from a laser, a team heated a gold foil to 14 times its melting point, far beyond a theoretical limit put forward in previous studies.
