On this episode we return to the topic that first earned Alfacast its infamy at the onset of the 2020 bio-psyop. While many seasoned conspiracy theories can now be legitimately recategorized as factual, one such challenge to conventional medical theory has found it particularly difficult in penetrating the firewalls of indoctrination. Germ theory, as it was first floated by Royal Society agent, Louiis Pasteur, has been successfully challenged by a multitude of health professionals and researchers alike, and finalized with a candid admission from "the father of modern medicine" himself in his end of life memoirs. Fact is, "germs" are more friend than foe, and their circumstantial presence at the scene of symptomatology has been purposely miscontrued. Here to help us set the record straight is MARIZELLE ARCE, N.D., a naturopathic terrain doctor, certified kinesiologist, and nutrition expert. She has a bachelor's degree from Stony Brook University and a doctorate from the University of Bridgeport, College of Naturopathic Medicine. She runs a private health practice in Westchester County, NY. Imagine a paradigm shift in health care that challenges conventional wisdom and unlocks the secrets to true wellness. In "Germs Are Not Our Enemy", Marizelle, whose approach to wellness is deeply rooted in nutrition, detoxification, and the rich traditions of ancient indigenous cultures, unveils a groundbreaking discovery: The microbes inside us and on the surface of our bodies are indicators of imbalances in our internal terrain—helpers and allies, rather than threats. This revolutionary book bridges ancient wisdom and modern science, offering a transformative understanding of health through the principles of terrain ideology and pleomorphism. Dr. Arce challenges the germ-focused mindset that permeates the contemporary world, instead emphasizing the importance of nurturing your body so it functions optimally. By focusing on balance—instead of on battling external pathogens—you can build your resilience. Her book introduces a comprehensive approach to health that has been overlooked in mainstream discussions. Drawing on her expertise in safe and effective holistic practices, Dr. Arce empowers readers with practical tools to optimize their terrain. Dr. Barre Lando will contribute his 40+ years as a Bioterrain specialist to the discussion with a wisdom born from his training within the authentic European Bioterrain circles, and managing 1000's of clinical cases that provided the truth of what constitutes health & "disease".

Most people don't realize that what happens in the mouth can ripple through the whole body. The balance of the oral microbiome—the community of bacteria living in our mouths—can either protect us or trigger widespread inflammation that affects the heart, joints, and brain. Hidden dental infections or mercury fillings can quietly drive fatigue, autoimmune issues, or dementia—and fixing the mouth often helps the rest of the body heal, too. The good news is that with simple steps like eating whole foods (often removing gluten), cleaning the mouth well, and breathing through the nose, we can protect both our smile and our overall health. When we care for the mouth as part of the body, lasting wellness becomes possible from the inside out. In this episode, Dr. Todd LePine, Dr. Elizabeth Boham, James Nestor, and I talk about how a healthy mouth microbiome is a key to whole-body wellness. Dr. Todd LePine graduated from Dartmouth Medical School and is Board Certified in Internal Medicine, specializing in Integrative Functional Medicine. He is an Institute for Functional Medicine Certified Practitioner. Prior to joining The UltraWellness Center, he worked as a physician at Canyon Ranch in Lenox, MA, for 10 years. Dr. LePine's focus at The UltraWellness Center is to help his patients achieve optimal health and vitality by restoring the natural balance to both the mind and the body. His areas of interest include optimal aging, bio-detoxification, functional gastrointestinal health, systemic inflammation, autoimmune disorders, and the neurobiology of mood and cognitive disorders. Dr. Elizabeth Boham is Board Certified in Family Medicine from Albany Medical School, and she is an Institute for Functional Medicine Certified Practitioner and the Medical Director of The UltraWellness Center. Dr. Boham lectures on a variety of topics, including Women's Health and Breast Cancer Prevention, insulin resistance, heart health, weight control and allergies. She is on the faculty for the Institute for Functional Medicine. James Nestor is an author and journalist who has written for Scientific American, Outside, The New York Times, and more. His book, Breath: The New Science of a Lost Art, was an instant New York Times and London Sunday Times bestseller. Breath explores how the human species has lost the ability to breathe properly—and how to get it back. Breath spent 18 weeks on the New York Times bestseller list in the first year of release, and will be translated into more than 30 languages. Breath was awarded the Best General Nonfiction Book of 2020 by the American Society of Journalists and Authors, and was nominated for Best Science Book of 2021 by the Royal Society. Nestor has spoken at Stanford Medical School, Yale School of Medicine, Harvard Medical School, The United Nations, Global Classroom, and appeared on more than 60 radio and television shows, including Fresh Air with Terry Gross, the Joe Rogan Show, and more. He lives and breathes in San Francisco. This episode is brought to you by BIOptimizers. Head to bioptimizers.com/hyman and use code HYMAN to save 15%.

Why are people wrong all the time, anyway? Is it because we human beings are too good at being irrational, using our biases and motivated reasoning to convince ourselves of something that isn't quite accurate? Or is it something different -- unmotivated reasoning, or "unthinkingness," an unwillingness to do the cognitive work that most of us are actually up to if we try? Gordon Pennycook wants to argue for the latter, and this simple shift has important consequences, including for strategies for getting people to be less susceptible to misinformation and conspiracies.Blog post with transcript: https://www.preposterousuniverse.com/podcast/2025/10/27/333-gordon-pennycook-on-unthinkingness-conspiracies-and-what-to-do-about-them/Support Mindscape on Patreon.Gordon Pennycook received his Ph.D. in psychology from the University of Waterloo.

Today Tony is diving beneath the surface of one of history's most enduring legends: Atlantis. Joining him are maritime archaeologist and bestselling author, David Gibbons, and the writer Damian Le Bas. A life-long fascination with the Atlantis myth has shaped both their work. Together they explore the shifting meanings of Atlantis, from Plato's parable to pop culture icon. They look at the political allegory of Plato's story as a critique of imperialism, how Atlantis has been reinterpreted across history, and the metaphorical idea of Atlantis as a horizon of unknowing: both a physical and philosophical “beyond".

Paolo Mazzarello"Malaria"Il Nobel negato: Storia di Battista GrassiNeri Pozza Editorewww.neripozza.itDall'autore di "Storia avventurosa della medicina", la ricostruzione di una grande scoperta e della congiura scientifica che negò a Battista Grassi il premio Nobel. Intrighi, colpi bassi, spionaggio di laboratorio: un thriller scientifico ricostruito su documenti inediti, a un secolo dai fatti.Nel 1902 il premio Nobel per la Medicina venne assegnato al medico britannico Ronald Ross «per il suo lavoro sulla malaria». Ma, sulla sola base dei suoi studi, nessuna profilassi contro la malattia sarebbe stata realizzabile. Il riconoscimento escludeva Battista Grassi, il medico lombardo che aveva identificato la zanzara del genere Anopheles responsabile del contagio, descrivendo lo sviluppo del parassita nell'insetto e la sua trasmissione all'uomo. Grazie alle proprie ricerche, lo studioso italiano fu il primo a organizzare una profilassi antimalarica scientificamente fondata. Per quale ragione Grassi venne escluso dal Nobel che avrebbe dovuto condividere con Ross? Basandosi sugli studi storici più recenti e sulla documentazione esistente, Malaria racconta l'incredibile congiura ordita contro Grassi, guidata dallo stesso Ross e dal grande microbiologo tedesco Robert Koch, della quale fecero inconsapevolmente parte alcuni colleghi italiani. Proprio nelle cruciali settimane in cui si sarebbe decisa l'assegnazione del premio, infatti, non lo appoggiarono o addirittura lo accusarono di plagio. Alla base dell'accanimento dei colleghi vi furono diverse ragioni, non ultimo il carattere irruento del medico, che gli creò nemici potenti. Come in un thriller scientifico, fra colpi bassi, spie di laboratorio e pericolosi esperimenti, questo libro descrive la vita singolare e straordinaria di Giovanni Battista Grassi a cento anni dalla scomparsa, un genio naturalista allo stato puro, premiato nel 1896 con la Darwin Medal della Royal Society di Londra, il massimo riconoscimento dell'epoca per chi si fosse distinto negli studi biologici. Ma al quale, per una congiura scientifica, venne negato il Nobel.Paolo Mazzarello è professore ordinario di Storia della Medicina all'Università di Pavia e direttore dei musei scientifici pavesi. Tra i suoi libri: Il genio e l'alienista. La strana visita di Lombroso a Tolstoj, 2005; Il Nobel dimenticato. La vita e la scienza di Camillo Golgi, 2006; Il professore e la cantante.

A special episode all about the future of space exploration, recorded in front of a live audience at the Royal Society in London. Earlier this year, the Royal Society published ‘The Space: 2075 report', which recognises the huge changes we're seeing in space exploration, and urges for action to be taken to make sure the next 50 years of activity in space is sustainable and benefits all of humanity. We brought together a panel of space experts to discuss the accelerated advances we're seeing. Helen Sharman, the first British astronaut, blasted off Earth on a Soyuz rocket in 1991. She explains what it's like to journey into space, the various ways it impacts the body and why humans still have the edge over robots for certain missions. Irene Di Giulio is a Biomedical Engineer at King's College London. She explores her work helping to get the first disabled astronaut to space and why it's critical we push towards making space flight accessible. And Katie King is Co-Founder and CEO of BioOrbit, a pharmaceutical company which plans to make drugs in space. Discover why space is the perfect place to create drugs - potentially bringing at-home cancer treatments to the market. Hosted by Rowan Hooper and Abby Beall.

Tony has been lucky enough to dive all over the world, he's even dived on the Titanic with the film director James Cameron. So today on Cunningcast, Tony's exploring underwater history with David Gibbins, maritime archaeologist and author of A History of the World in 12 Shipwrecks, and Damian Le Bas writer, filmmaker and author of The Drowned Places.Together they explore how shipwrecks are time capsules that reveal human stories and global connections, from the Bronze Age Dover Boat to the lavish Uluburun wreck off Turkey and the sunken pirate city of Port Royal, Jamaica. Symbols of past human endeavour, shipwrecks and sunken ruins become homes to underwater life, and are constantly changing, as Damian says, they represent an ‘accidental collaboration between humans and nature'.Hosted by Sir Tony Robinson | Instagram @sirtonyrobinsonProducer: Melissa FitzGerald | X @melissafitzgWithDavid Gibbins | www.davidgibbins.com/biographyMaritime archaeologist and bestselling author, David's twelve novels so far have sold over three million copies and are published in 30 languages.

What if the future of affordable, life-changing cell and gene therapies comes down to one critical yet often overlooked factor: manufacturing efficiency?In advanced therapy medicinal products (ATMPs), groundbreaking science abounds, but the path to the clinic is still strewn with bottlenecks, especially when it comes to cost, complexity, and safety. While the promise is enormous, most therapies remain out of reach for many patients due to high cost of goods and logistical hurdles. What can actually break down these barriers and democratize access?In this episode, David Brühlmann welcomes Lucas Chan, celebrated Fellow of the Royal Society of Biology, advisor to Singapore's Ministry of Health, and a true pioneer in viral vector manufacturing. In Singapore, he founded CellVec Pte Ltd – APAC's first regulatory accredited Viral Vector specialist CDMO.Lucas's leadership spans founding ventures in emerging markets to championing game-changing innovations in gene transfer, always with an eye toward efficiency, safety, and accessibility. Having returned “back to the bench” in collaboration with the National University of Singapore while launching his consultancy, Lucas brings both visionary perspective and hands-on experience to one of biotech's toughest challenges.Here are three reasons why you need to listen to this episode:Efficiency is Everything: Lucas dissects how complex processes and outdated manufacturing paradigms are driving up the cost of cell and gene therapies and shares real-world advances, from transitioning viral vector production to stable producer cell lines to the emergence of non-viral gene transfer modalities, that are poised to rewrite the rulebook on scalability and affordability.Leadership Amid Complexity: Learn from Lucas's top leadership advice drawn from his CSO and CDMO tenure: inspire teams by connecting every task to the larger mission. In a multidisciplinary, high-stakes environment, alignment and motivation aren't just nice, they're essential for innovation.Entrepreneurship and Community: Thinking of turning your biotech expertise into a startup? Lucas underscores the value of learning from others' journeys, collaboration, and the insight that “it takes a village” when translating advanced therapies from bench to bedside, especially in emerging markets with unique affordability challenges.Want to transform your approach to cell and gene therapy manufacturing or just need inspiration to push your biotech project to the next level?Tune into this episode for practical insights, candid leadership lessons, and a renewed sense of what's possible when we challenge the status quo together.Connect with Lucas Chan:LinkedIn: www.linkedin.com/in/lucaschangtNext step:Book a 20-minute call to help you get started on any questions you may have about bioprocessing analytics: https://bruehlmann-consulting.com/callPreparing for your IND?

In the winter of 1610 Johannes Kepler was crossing Prague's Charles Bridge when he noticed a snowflake land on his arm. Why, he asked, are all snowflakes six-cornered? "I do not believe," he wrote, "that even in a snowflake, this ordered pattern exists at random." 400 years later, we have part of the answer. Snowflakes are made of water molecules, which are made of atoms, which are made of quarks and electrons - which might be made of superstrings - all held together by forces of nature described by quantum theory. But how does such delicate beauty emerge from such abstract simplicity? Emergence is a celebration of the intricacy of the Universe and an exploration of the laws of nature that sculpted it. From the largest structures in the known Universe - the rivers and flows of galaxies that trace the cosmic web - to Earth's interlinked ecosystems and the structure of the human brain - from black holes to snowflakes - we observe a world of dazzling complexity underpinned by magnificent simplicity. How did a quarter of a million-year-old species of great apes on one small planet amongst trillions orbiting around a middle-aged star in an average galaxy figure all this out, guided by curiosity, mathematics and an aesthetic sense of symmetry and beauty? And what might we become if we can hold onto the ideas of the enlightenment so successfully developed and deployed by Kepler and his contemporaries and successors - ideas that have allowed us to begin to read the story of the Universe and carried our spacecraft to the edge of the solar system and outwards to the stars. Professor Brian Cox said: "I've loved creating Emergence - it's the most ambitious live show I've ever written. I've been very lucky to collaborate with a wonderful group of scientists, musicians, filmmakers and graphic artists to bring cosmology, biology, philosophy and history to the largest and most advanced LED screens available, with the best sound and lights I could find. I hope the show is an all-encompassing experience, and I hope it leaves everyone, whether they love science or music or history, or simply contemplating the beauty of Nature, with something new to think about." Brian has worked with a world-leading team of creatives for Emergence. Graphics and visual effects have been created in collaboration with Emmy Award winning director Nic Stacey and digital artist Erik Wernquist, and branding is by Peter Saville CBE, the renowned art director known for his original work with Factory Records. Brian has appeared in many landmark science programmes over the last 15 years, from the Peabody Award-winning Wonders of the Solar System to worldwide hit series The Planets to his most recent landmark series Solar System, which has become one of the best watched science series of the last decade.

In the second episode of our Trade series, Nick and Goldy talk with author Nat Dyer about his book Ricardo's Dream: How Economists Forgot the Real World and Led Us Astray. Dyer reveals how David Ricardo's famous theory of comparative advantage—long touted as proof that free trade is always a win-win—was built on unrealistic assumptions and a false history. They trace how this elegant but misleading model fueled globalization, masked exploitation, and locked nations into centuries of stagnation. From Trump's tariff tantrums to Biden's “small yard, high fence” strategy, their conversation challenges the myths of free trade and asks: when does trade strengthen societies, and when does it doom them to decline? Nat Dyer is a writer and researcher specializing in global political economy and author of the book Ricardo's Dream: How Economists Forgot the Real World and Led Us Astray. He is a Fellow of the Schumacher Institute and the Royal Society of Arts. He has worked for Global Witness and for Promoting Economic Pluralism, and his stories have been reported on by the BBC, the New York Times, and Bloomberg.

The lack of affordable housing has long been a barrier to people living and working in rural areas. The Rural Services Network described it this year as a 'rural housing emergency'. All this week we've been looking at rural services, from buses to health, and today it's housing. We've reported before on some of the issues: planning, second homes and high prices for instance. Today we hear about some of the solutions.It's party conference season; agriculture is important to Northern Ireland's economy and so will be discussed at its parties conferences, Sinn Fein's in April and the DUP's tomorrow.A report out this week says our food system needs to change as it's responsible for too many emissions and too much ill health. The 5 year study which cost £47 million was funded by UK Research and Innovation and published this week in a Royal Society journal. What might a food system transformation mean for farming here in the UK? Presented by Charlotte Smith and produced by Beatrice Fenton.

This week we rented the top 3 maths movies of all time – A Beautiful Mind, The Imitation Game and 3 Men and a Baby – all in order to be mathematically competent enough to share a pod with one of the world's greatest number nibblers, Marcus du Sautoy. So highly acclaimed and awarded, we could have filled the entire podcast by listing out his many achievements, Marcus is perhaps best known as a Professor in Mathematics, Fellow of the Royal Society and Simonyi Professor for the Public Understanding of Science at Oxford University. But, as well as being one of the very smartest people on the planet, he's also one of the most engaging and enlightening speakers on the unexpected stories to be found in numbers, having written for several national newspapers and appeared on a number of mathematically-inclined TV shows including Mind Games, The Story of Maths and The Code (not to be confused with The Cube). By now you've probably run out of fingers to tally up all the brilliant things he's done, so we shall just wrap up by saying he's also the author of a series of superb books examining the relationship between maths, creativity, music, games and more – including Blue Prints, The Music of Primes and The Creativity Code. (Basically, the fact that it took us all this time to mention he's also an OBE tells you all you need to know. He's an impressive dude.) In an episode where Giles wears his disappointing GCSE results like a hi-vis vest of inadequacy, we ponder the search for meaning in numbers and how the stories behind them can help shape ideas and solve problems.

Listen to this podcast on Spotify or Apple podcasts. While stimulating and rewarding, academic careers present numerous challenges that require resilience and determination from those who wish to remain in the academy. The job precarity now so common across higher education, alongside the repeated rejection from funders and publishers and pressure to demonstrate excellence across teaching, research and administration, makes for a brutal combination, too often resulting in stress, overwork and ultimately burnout. We speak to two professors, who have both written on navigating this tricky career terrain, about how they have managed to find freedom and fulfilment in their work, even when faced with spiralling workloads and multiple pressures, and what fulfilment looks like. You will hear from: Jeffrey McDonnell is a university distinguished professor of hydrology in the School of Environment and Sustainability, and associate director of the Global Institute for Water Security at the University of Saskatchewan, as well as a fellow of the Royal Society of Canada. In 2024, he was appointed as an officer to the Order of Canada and his many awards include the 2016 Dooge Medal from the International Association of Hydrological Sciences (with Unesco and the World Meteorological Organization), the 2022 Outstanding Achievement Award from the New Zealand Hydrological Society and the 2009 John Dalton Medal from the European Geosciences Union. He is the author of Navigating an Academic Career: A Brief Guide for PhD Students, Postdocs and New Faculty (American Geophysical Union, 2020). Sarah Robinson is a professor of human resource management at IÉSEG School of Management in Paris. She moved into academia after working in international development and completed her PhD at the University of Lancaster before working her way up through a series of lectureships at the Open University, Leicester University and the University of Glasgow, where she was promoted to professor in 2019. After years studying the experiences of early career researchers, Sarah co-edited Doing Academic Careers Differently: Portraits of Academic Life (Routledge, 2023) with fellow researchers Alexander Bristow and Olivier Ratle, a book that seeks to highlight approaches to academia that diverge from the traditional career model.

We're gonna go ahead and apologize in advance for any stumbles through this one. Sir Isaac Newton possessed a kind of brilliance that is very hard for the majority of people to really wrapped their heads around, and that includes us. Known as the Father of Modern Physics he didn't just help shape our understanding of the science of the natural world (not nature but the laws that govern nature, gravity, optics, movement, etc) but he deciphered a lot of the mysteries within it. He developed calculus because the math of his time wouldn't help him solve the questions he had. He discovered that light is made of a spectrum of colors that exist at all times even if we can't see them, and he revolutionized the understanding of gravity and planetary rotation. He was also human, who suffered from human flaws, vindictiveness being a pretty evident one. But as with most genius there can be a mania that lies beneath.
