Canada, Mexico and China all found themselves in the new administration's crosshairs.In this episode, Paul discusses some of the reasons why these tariffs are going to affect both the fossil AND clean energy industries. And why Canada and Mexico quickly reached a negotiated bargain with the US while China looks to be digging in for a prolonged trade war.For more research:"Trump tariffs seen stirring up commodity and energy sectors" - Reuters"Trump Tariffs Spark Fears of Clean Energy Supply Chain Chaos" - SciAm"Analysis: The potential economic effects of Trump's tariffs and trade war, in 9 charts" - PBSFollow Paul on LinkedIn.

Marik von Rennenkampff, a former analyst with the U.S. Department of State's Bureau of International Security and Nonproliferation, published an opinion piece in The Hill recently that illustrates how Dr. Sean Kirkpatrick, who recently quit his position as director of the All-domain Anomaly Resolution Office, is lying about the ongoing UFO coverup. Rennenkampff provided statements made over the past year by top U.S. politicians that contradict Kirkpatrick's position that there's no proof that programs exist to retrieve and reverse engineer crashed alien craft.

Most likely you  sleep every night, it is a part of the fabric of your life, but are you getting good quality sleep?  Do you wake up feeling rested and energized for your day without caffeine?  Like digestion it is easy to normalize sub quality sleep - to think it is normal to wake up feeling exhausted or to need a cup of coffee to get going.  It may have been so long since you've actually gotten a good night's sleep, that you don't even know what that feels like.I want to acknowledge that every person's need for sleep differs - some folks need more or less than others - but everyone needs good quality sleep.Both ayurveda and circadian medicine have powerful insights into sleep and how to get the most out of it.  In this episode:A little bit about the four sleep chronotypes to illustrate that every body is different and there are always outliersEach dosha's relationship to sleepWhy managing Vata can help improve the quality of sleepThe circadian sleep-wake cycle, what it is and how it impacts sleepSome ways to reset your circadian rhythmAyurvedic sleep hygieneLink to Deep Rest Meditation:  www.nourishednervoussystem.com/deeprestLink to Self Abhyangha Guide:  www.nourishednervoussystem.com/oilRelated Episodes:Episode 2:  The Lens of AyurvedaEpisode 3:  What the Vata?!Episode 8:  Oh Pitta.  You're Hot!Episode 10:  Kapha, the Sweet OneReferences:Petrowski K, Buehrer S, Niedling M, Schmalbach B.

Michael Shermer, founding publisher of Skeptic magazine and host of the podcast The Michael Shermer Show, was a regular writer for Scientific American for 18 years. With more than 200 monthy columns under his belt, he was hoping to match Stephen Jay Gould’s record run of 300 at Natural History and was due to hit his target within a few years. In December, 2018, however, he was abruptly let go.In this episode of Banished, Amna Khalid talks to Shermer about the souring of his relationship with SciAm, the importance of skepticism and the rise of censoriousness in recent years.

Self-proclaimed conspiratorial thinker Shamus Mac claims that the modern state is a direct descendent of rule by divine mandate. To that end, he argues that the modern nation-state is a form of compulsory religion, where inhabitants are controlled by the monopoly of force held by the state. For Shamus, the word "religion" means a set of binding beliefs and vows - which he sees as the foundation for human relationships with their governments the world over. Our conversation strays from the idea of the state as a compulsory religion to cover the assessment of information, the meaning of science, and perhaps most importantly - the merits and dangers of statehood, regardless of its parallels with compulsory religion. Let us know your thoughts in the comments section, humans!

Meanwhile, back here on Earth, we have Scientific American actually endorsing a presidential candidate for the first time in it’s 175-year history. And some new offerings from Apple Computer, including shiny new watches and iPads and an update in their operating systems. Apple tracker Taylor Barcroft is in the studio to explain it all. Enjoy..

Hey yo, we have Jen Christiansen from Scientific American with us in DS#52. Jen is art director of information graphics at Scientific American magazine where she is been for about then years and she has a background in natural science illustration from the University of California, Santa Cruz. Science communication is one of our favorite topics and we are so happy to have such an amazing expert like Jen on the show. Jen reveals the nitty gritty of scientific visualization and illustration as experienced by one of the top scientific communication magazines in the world. "How does a scientific piece come to life? Where does an idea for a new piece come from? How do they interact with the scientists to make sure everything they report is accurate and yet accessible for a broad audience? And what does need to be done before an illustration gets ready for print?" We discuss this and many other questions with Jen. Enjoy the show! This episode of Data Stories is sponsored by Tableau.
