Microplastics are everywhere – in our water, in our food, and in our bodies. And while they are often the subject of headlines and new stories, researchers say there's still a lot to learn about how they may harm us.

This week, experts from across the country will be in town for a symposium exploring the latest research, challenges, and next steps for understanding how microplastics get into our environment and our bodies.

The recent Pentagon releases of declassified files detailing sightings of Unidentified Anomalous Phenomena (UAPs) has piqued the interest of UFO enthusiasts and curious Americans alike. But despite increased transparency, a lack of hard evidence remains. Why do many of us want to believe there is intelligent life out there somewhere? And if scientists found that evidence, would we even accept it? ---  Guest: Adam Frank, University of Rochester astrophysicist   Host: David Rind  Producer: Paola Ortiz  Showrunner: Felicia Patinkin Photo By: AP (Associated Press) Learn more about your ad choices.

Dave is joined by Farideh Sadeghin, author of The Hot Dog Cookbook: 50 Recipes for a Classic American Food, for a deep dive into hot dog culture, regional styles, and the surprisingly high-stakes question of what belongs on a dog.They get into New York onion sauce, Seattle dogs on alleged “bialy sticks,” Colombian and Brazilian hot dog toppings, Zweigle's red and white hots, Connecticut meat sauce, New Jersey Rippers, Italian hot dogs, Fenway Franks, split-top buns, and why a hot dog should usually remain a handheld food.

The Break Room (Friday 6/12/26) 7am Hour Last year, Josh Allen was the best selling jersey in the NFL and even internationally. Our Buffalo Bills quarterback is a picture perfect product: strong, fast and the “golden retriever” type that you can take home to mom. Kimmy feels that maybe this is because he hasn't gotten his first Superbowl win yet. Allen is even out shining “hall of famers.” Tommy points out that he's a “good looking kid” which prompts the debate: Jim Kelly v. Josh Allen? Who has the hunk factor?

The Break Room (Friday 6/12/26) 8am Hour An all-you-can-eat beef festival in Canandaigua last weekend raises the question: what all-you-can-eat buffet brings the best bang for your buck? Sushi? Seafood? Pizza? Or maybe as Tommy called it “cheapo fat food”? Well one things for sure: it's definitely not dessert.

The Break Room (Friday 6/12/26) 9am Hour Top of the break with another “Creep Cap” of the foul things that have left Tommy's mouth this week. Then onto a fake viral news story on social media that claimed McDonalds now had a $1 surcharge for using the drive thru. Duffy feels the efficiency of the McDonalds drive thru should be studied.

The Break Room (Friday 6/12/26) 9am Hour It's officially geese crossing season and Duffy has some questions: can they hurt us? Should we be afraid? And can I fight back? He's had enough of animals as his house is turning into the set of Snow White with bunnies, cardinals and an impending squirrel box. Don't tune out before you get to hear Tommy's impression of a goose receiving a knob.

The Break Room (Friday 6/12/26) 8am Hour With Dan Mason, Red Wings General Manager in the studio, The Break Room talks tubular meats, the Red Wings and the illustrious super star guest coming this Sunday: Bluey!

The Break Room (Friday 6/12/26) 8am Hour This Sunday, a pick your own strawberries event will take place at Gro Moore farms. What Duffy can't seem to understand: what the hell is the point? Doing all the labor and yet it would cost you less to buy from the store. But Tommy, the produce snob he is, feels many factors that an aficionado such as himself would know play a role in this.

The Break Room (Friday 6/12/26) 6am Hour 1) What is up with old men and their fascination with trains, given the turnout in Letchworth for the "Big Boy"? 2) Who is the worst: Plane, train, car or boat guys? 3) Model cars, trains and planes and the copious amounts of free time that they occupy in the lives of old men.

The Break Room (Friday 6/12/26) 6am Hour Is a four hour "splooge" and crumb infested bunkbed for a surcharge of $400 on TOP of your already expensive plane ticket really worth it? Duffy, Kimmy and Tommy talk logistical fallacies and whether to fly or not to fly.

The Break Room (Friday 6/12/26) 6am Hour What is it with the people who are meant to keep the peace in our communities are the same ones being busted for sowing discord? Tommy, Kimmy and Duffy talk corruption amongst the police prompted by a recent case of an officer being caught on duty with 10 grams of coke in his police car. Which would be better: the officer was dealing or partaking in the substance?

The Break Room (Friday 6/12/26) 7am Hour Duffy recounts local news story of a elementary school mental health presentation gone wrong. A 48 year old karate instructor gave a “presentation” which consisted of him demonstrating karate moves on one child who claimed it felt like he was breaking his arm and another child who the karate instructor put in a chokehold who promptly caused him to pass out. Kimmy, Tommy and Duffy all reminisced on times when their own school assemblies and presenters were evidently unvetted and potentially problematic for kids to be listening to. Also what's up with hypnotists? Who thought that was a good idea.

In this two-part episode our hosts, Cayla, Nathan and Halli take a look at three topics of intrigue:Christie Pits Park: Christie Pit park was the place of a notorious riot within the city of Toronto. During the start of Hitler's time in office in Germany groups of supporters cropped up across North America. In August of 1933, a group of young nazi's incited a riot at a ballpark, pulling in close to 10,000 people into the fray. Unfortunately, these ideologies wouldn't end there, as we still see them this day.The Earl of Rochester: John Wilmot, the 2nd Earl of Rochester was a poet from the 1600s, just not the kind we would expect from that era. Much of his greatest works were smut and for the longest time this was not appreciated, until nowThe Flood Myth: "Instructions of Shuruppak" is one of the oldest documents we know of, the oldest version thought to be from 2600-2500 BC and it was thought to be a text of great wisdom, a document from a father to his son on how to live a good life. But there's more to that, so much more. As it also refers to a great flood, potentially THE great floodPt. 1Christie Pits ParkThe Earl of Rochesterhttps://www.thehumanexception.com/l/file-0159-0160-flooding-the-earl-of-christie-pits-park/

At 20 years old, newly arrived from Puerto Rico and trying to build a future in science, Benjamin Suarez Jimenez found himself sitting in front of two senior faculty members accused of plagiarism. He knew the material. He had done the work. His mistake came from failing to cite class notes during an exam because nobody had told him that was expected. In a matter of minutes, he watched what felt like his entire career flash before him.On this episode of Standard Deviation, host Oliver Bogler examines the hidden architecture of academic science through the experiences of Dr. Benjamin Suarez Jimenez, Assistant Professor at the University of Rochester and a neuroscientist studying PTSD, anxiety, trauma, and spatial cognition through virtual reality and video game environments.Benjamin traces his path from Puerto Rico to the mainland United States, through the NIH, Columbia University, and eventually to leading his own laboratory. Along the way, he encountered a series of barriers that had little to do with scientific ability and everything to do with access to unwritten rules. From academic gatekeeping to grant writing expectations, he learned that success in biomedical research often depends on knowledge that never appears in a textbook.Oliver explores how those invisible obstacles shape careers, influence research funding, and determine who gains access to opportunity. The conversation also examines the Justice, Equity, Diversity, and Inclusion Program at the Life Science Editors Foundation, which pairs scientists from underrepresented backgrounds with experienced scientific editors. Through that mentorship, Benjamin transformed a critical grant proposal into a successful pilot award that helped launch an NIH R01 application.The discussion extends beyond one scientist's experience. Benjamin describes helping a former mentee navigate dissertation roadblocks that threatened her graduation, illustrating how institutional bureaucracy can delay careers and discourage talented researchers. Together, they explore the hidden administrative burden, cultural barriers, and bias that many scientists carry alongside their research, and what happens when someone who receives support turns around and opens the door for others.RELATED LINKSLife Science Editors FoundationBenjamin Suarez Jimenez LabDr. Benjamin Suarez JimenezBenjamin Suarez JimenezFEEDBACKLike this episode?

There is a village in the apple country of western New York called Sodus, up in Wayne County near the south shore of Lake Ontario, about thirty miles east of Rochester. This is fruit-belt land, orchard and muck field running back from the lake, roadside stands selling cider in the fall, the big cold lake holding the frost off the trees in spring. In October the orchards go heavy and the light comes in low and gold across the drumlins, the long humped hills the glaciers left behind. A few thousand people, one central school the whole area feeds into, the worst trouble in a given year usually a bad wreck out on Route 14. The kind of place where a double murder in a driveway on a sunny Monday afternoon does not just grieve people, it cracks the basic understanding they have about where they live.On the twenty-second of October, 2018, a Monday, that understanding broke. It broke on a short residential street called Carlton Street, a block of modest houses near the Sodus Central School, the kind of street where people leave the doors unlocked and the kids ride bikes in the road. At a little after three in the afternoon, in full daylight, with neighbors home and children about, a young couple was shot to death in the driveway of their own home. By the time the first deputy arrived, the shooter was gone and the street had become a crime scene that the people who saw it would carry for the rest of their lives.Our Sponsors:* Check out BetterHelp and use my code betterhelp.com for a great deal: https://www.betterhelp.com* Check out BetterHelp and use my code betterhelp.com for a great deal: https://www.betterhelp.com* Check out Chime and use my code chime.com/OBSCURA for a great deal: https://www.chime.com* Check out Mood and use my code OBSCURA for a great deal: https://mood.com* Check out Progressive: https://www.progressive.com* Check out Quince and use my code quince.com/obscura for a great deal: https://www.quince.comSupport this podcast at — https://redcircle.com/obscura-a-true-crime-podcast/exclusive-contentAdvertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy

One night in the summer of 2003, a man approached a drug dealer on a corner in Rochester, New York. The man stepped close to the dealer and whispered that he was a cop... but he wasn't here to bust the dealer, or to buy from him. Instead, he had a request: he wanted the drug dealer to help him catch a killer.   You can WATCH all new & exclusive MrBallen podcast episodes on my YouTube channel, just called "MrBallen" - https://www.youtube.com/c/MrBallen If you want to reach out to me, contact me on Instagram, Twitter or any other major social media platform, my username on all of them is @mrballen Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.
