In this episode of Science of Reading: The Podcast, Susan Lambert is joined by University of Oregon College of Education Professor and Ann Swindells Chair in Education Gina Biancarosa, Ed.D., to explore how best to assess for comprehension. Gina elaborates on her extensive work developing more precise and informative measurements of reading comprehension and discusses think-aloud research, demonstrating how to infer for coherence, and examining how students who are struggling with comprehension tend to rely too heavily on making inferences or paraphrasing.Show notes:Submit your questions on comprehension!Access free, high-quality resources at our brand new, companion professional learning page.  Connect with Gina on LinkedIn.Read “Diagnostic and Instructionally Relevant Measurement of Reading Comprehension”Resources:Listen to Season 2 of Amplify's Beyond My Years podcast.Join our community Facebook group.Connect with Susan Lambert.Quotes:"A lot of what we know about reading comprehension comes from think-alouds where you ask someone to tell you what they're thinking as they read." —Gina Biancarosa, Ed.D"To model reading comprehension, [try] thinking aloud in front of a classroom of students in a way that is instructive for them, and also authentic to the reading process." —Gina Biancarosa, Ed.D."Students are making causal inferences in their daily lives, when they watch movies, and when they're hearing stories. And so what we're really trying to do is get them to generalize these behaviors that they engage in outside of the task of reading, during reading." —Gina Biancarosa, Ed.D.Episode Timestamps:02:00 Introduction: Gina Biancarosa, Ed.D. and comprehension assessment08:00 How do we assess comprehension?14:00 Think-aloud research21:00 MOCCA (Multiple-Choice Online Causal Comprehension Assessment)24:00 Causal coherence30:00 Paraphrasers and elaborators33:00 Comprehension assessment research39:00 Professional development and comprehension assessment42:00 Closing thoughts*Timestamps are approximate, rounded to nearest minute

What's your favorite apple? Maybe it's the crowd-pleasing Honeycrisp, the tart Granny Smith or the infamous Red Delicious. Either way, before that apple made it to your local grocery store or orchard it had to be invented — by a scientist. So today, we're going straight to the source: Talking to an apple breeder. Producer Hannah Chinn reports how apples are selected, bred, grown ... and the discoveries that could change that process. Plus, what's a "spitter"?Read more of Hannah's apple reporting.Want to know how science impacts other food you eat?

This is not an easy story to tell. In the town where I live, Bellingham, Washington, there’s a beautiful urban creek. It flows just four miles from a lake, through a city park, down through the town to the sea. But in the summer of 1999, disaster struck. A gasoline pipeline ruptured, causing an explosion. Young lives were lost, and the creek and the ecosystems around it were obliterated. But amid the destruction, amid all the loss, the creek found a way to find life again. And the people of Bellingham somehow found a way to move forward. This is a story about the strength of the human spirit and how a community, a creek, and the once-thriving forest that it passed through began to recover after losing so much.

Philosopher Stefan Molyneux examines the philosophical implications of postmodernism, particularly its rejection of objective truth and the resulting moral relativism. He discusses the concept of "hallucination" in artificial intelligence as a metaphor for balancing creativity and utility. By critiquing the decline of rational thought, Stefan highlights its impact on contemporary societal debates, especially regarding race and gender. He warns that without universal moral principles and rational discourse, society risks falling into chaos, emphasizing the need for a return to objective standards.SUBSCRIBE TO ME ON X! https://x.com/StefanMolyneuxFollow me on Youtube! https://www.youtube.com/@freedomain1GET MY NEW BOOK 'PEACEFUL PARENTING', THE INTERACTIVE PEACEFUL PARENTING AI, AND THE FULL AUDIOBOOK!https://peacefulparenting.com/Join the PREMIUM philosophy community on the web for free!Subscribers get 12 HOURS on the "Truth About the French Revolution," multiple interactive multi-lingual philosophy AIs trained on thousands of hours of my material - as well as AIs for Real-Time Relationships, Bitcoin, Peaceful Parenting, and Call-In Shows!You also receive private livestreams, HUNDREDS of exclusive premium shows, early release podcasts, the 22 Part History of Philosophers series and much more!See you soon!https://freedomain.locals.com/support/promo/UPB2025

How do meditation, breathwork, and tapping influence the brain—and what can they teach us about healing, connection, and resilience? In this episode, I speak with four thought leaders exploring the neuroscience and practice of inner calm: Niraj Naik, creator of SOMA Breath, on breathwork rooted in Pranayama and how rhythmic breathing and brief hypoxia strengthen mitochondria and balance energy. Nick Ortner, founder of The Tapping Solution, on how Emotional Freedom Technique (EFT) calms the amygdala, lowers cortisol, and helps rewire stress and cravings at the brain level. Dr. Lisa Miller, author of The Awakened Brain, on how meditation shifts us from rumination to guidance, activating the brain's natural capacity for oneness and enduring alpha waves associated with peace and spiritual connection. Dr. Tony Nader, neuroscientist and leader of the Transcendental Meditation movement, on TM's measurable effects on blood pressure, brain coherence, and even collective consciousness. From ancient practices to modern neuroscience, this episode explores how tuning the mind and body can transform stress into clarity—and reconnect us to our shared field of consciousness.

In one of the most iconic founding legends of the Americas, a Golden Eagle devouring a serpent atop a cactus marked the spot where the Mexicas would build Tenochtitlan, capital of the Aztec Empire. Over the centuries, that ancient metropolis transformed into what we now call Mexico City. Though the mythical eagle is now commemorated on the national flag of Mexico, real Golden Eagles need our help through conservation research and habitat protections.¡Escuche este episodio en español!More info and transcript at BirdNote.org.Want more BirdNote?

As Thanksgiving approaches, many Americans are gathering to reflect on gratitude, family—and of course—food. It's the time of year when we may think about the so-called "First Thanksgiving" and imagine scenes of Pilgrims and Native peoples gathering in Massachusetts to share in the bounty of their fall harvests. But how much do we really know about the food systems and agricultural knowledge of Indigenous peoples of North America? In what ways were the Wampanoag people able to contribute to this harvest celebration—and what have we gotten wrong about their story? Michael Wise, Associate Professor of History at the University of North Texas and author of Native Foods: Agriculture, Indigeneity, and Settler Colonialism in American History, joins us to challenge four persistent myths about Indigenous food practices. Discover how Native communities shaped and stewarded the land and its agriculture long before European colonists arrived—and why this history matters more than we might think.

This is a rich and highly engaging monologue! Here are some great options for the title, summary, and description, focusing on the core themes of self-mastery, environment, and energetic boundaries.Dissonance vs. Resonance: Tuning Your Environment and Stepping Up Your IdentityIn this tactical episode of Resonance, host Michael Trainer tackles the concept of Dissonance—the frustrating static and out-of-tune feeling that emerges when your core values and integrity aren't met by your environment or relationships.Drawing on his challenging experience while recording in Ubud, Bali, Michael unpacks how the gap between his grounded, pragmatic approach and the "maybe I'll show up, maybe I won't" culture became a powerful call to action.You will learn:The Power of Environment: Why physically changing your location (or "garden") is often the most direct and pragmatic way to reset your inner tune, especially when entering a new professional or personal phase.The Radical Reckoning: How to use tools like journaling, trusted friends, or even AI to uncover the blind spots and patterns that lead you to attract and tolerate dissonance.The Identity Manifesto: Michael shares his process for defining a new self-identity, including a declaration to stop "energizing" people and behaviors that don't share your high standards for integrity and follow-through.Confronting the Warrior's Task: How to turn dissonance into resonance by deliberately taking on the uncomfortable tasks, hard conversations, and long-avoided items that are draining your life force.Childhood Wounding as Signal: Recognizing that patterns of frustration (like constantly being flaked on) often connect back to unresolved childhood experiences, and how to use this awareness to heal and show up differently.This episode is a powerful message about holding yourself and your relationships to a higher standard, recognizing static, and intentionally cultivating the energy where your most beautiful music can play. Michael Trainer has spent 30 years learning from Nobel laureates, neuroscientists, and wisdom keepers worldwide. He's the author of RESONANCE: The Art and Science of Human Connection (March 31, 2026), co-creator of Global Citizen and the Global Citizen Festival, and host of the RESONANCE podcast.Featured in Forbes, Inc, Good Morning America.

In this episode of Maximize Your Hunt, Jon Teater discusses various hunting strategies with Dieter Kochan (FaceOff Ebikes), focusing on rut strategies, deer behavior, and effective access to hunting areas. They explore the importance of utilizing trail cameras for gathering information, the significance of scrapes in deer social behavior, and the management of scent and footwear to improve hunting success. The conversation wraps up with reflections on the hunting season and the importance of adapting strategies based on observations and experiences.  Takeaways The podcast focuses on maximizing hunting property and strategies. Understanding rut strategies is crucial for successful hunting. Accessing hunting areas effectively can improve success rates. Trail cameras provide valuable insights into deer behavior. Scrapes are important social markers for deer and should be utilized in hunting strategies. Managing scent and footwear is essential for not spooking deer. The more information you gather, the better your hunting decisions will be. Gray light access can prevent spooking deer on the way to stands. Younger deer should be able to utilize scrapes for social interaction. Reflecting on the hunting season helps improve future strategies.   Social Links https://www.faceoffebikes.com/ https://www.instagram.com/rangermatthews/ https://whitetaillandscapes.com/ https://www.facebook.com/whitetaillandscapes/ https://www.instagram.com/whitetail_landscapes/?hl=en Learn more about your ad choices.

He and Dr. Kathy discuss the importance of recognizing and encouraging a child's unique personality traits while acknowledging that parenting often involves navigating dark and inconvenient moments.

Dr. Richard Boyatzis, joins Dr. Bradley Block to unpack why even accomplished physicians often lose their sense of meaning mid-career. Drawing from his Intentional Change Theory, Dr. Boyatzis explains that fulfillment dips every 7–10 years as part of our natural life cycle — what he calls liminality, the space between “what was” and “what's next.” The fix isn't distraction (real estate, side gigs, or skydiving), but rediscovering your vision — your “ideal self” — and aligning daily work with your true values.He warns against the trap of coaching for compliance — trying to fix patients (or yourself) through fear and goals. Instead, focus on coaching with compassion — inspiring sustained change through purpose, gratitude, and hope. Physicians, he says, thrive when they reconnect to why they entered medicine: to help, heal, and matter. Through personal stories, neuroscience, and humor, Dr. Boyatzis offers a practical roadmap for reigniting passion without abandoning your profession — whether that means teaching, mentoring, volunteering, or simply reframing success through renewed purpose.Three Actionable Takeaways:Revisit Your Vision Every 7–10 Years:  Midlife restlessness isn't failure — it's biology. Reflect on your ideal self by asking, “If my life were fantastic 10–15 years from now, what would it look like?” Write it down, talk it out, and use it to guide new choices in work and life.Coach (and Care) with Compassion, Not Compliance: Patients — and physicians — change through hope, not fear. Replace “If you don't…” warnings with vision-driven goals (“What do you want to live for?”). Shared purpose boosts motivation, treatment adherence, and well-being.Recharge with Purposeful Connection: Gratitude and positive storytelling aren't fluff — they activate the parasympathetic system and restore energy. Start meetings or days with one uplifting story, or jot three things you're grateful for. It rewires stress into meaning. About the Show:Succeed In Medicine  covers patient interactions, burnout, career growth, personal finance, and more. If you're tired of dull medical lectures, tune in for real-world lessons we should have learned in med school!Dr. Richard Boyatzis is a Distinguished University Professor at Case Western Reserve University and one of the world's most cited scholars on emotional intelligence, leadership, and behavior change.

In order to save and more importantly restore biodiversity we don't need biodiversity or carbon credits; we need biologists to find super profitable business models within the magical deeply complex world of nature. It's the case of Toby Parkes, founder and CEO of Rhizocore, with whom go deep into the third, mostly ignored, and much more complex kingdom: fungi. We talk numbers that matter to forest managers: commercial sites often lose 15–25% of trees in year one, native mixes 35–50%. Across 70+ sites, Rhizocore's locally sourced pellets consistently cut losses in half and add roughly 20% in height and girth, with outsized benefits under drought. We also explore the bigger vision: a frozen library of hundreds of strains that powers not only forestry but new lines like nutrient capture from farm runoff and wastewater. Think high-throughput screening for fungi that strip nitrates and phosphates fast, plus future prospects for enzymes and therapeutics- practical ways to put ecology on the balance sheet.More about this episode.==========================In Investing in Regenerative Agriculture and Food podcast show we talk to the pioneers in the regenerative food and agriculture space to learn more on how to put our money to work to regenerate soil, people, local communities and ecosystems while making an appropriate and fair return.

Send us a textMitochondrial fatty acid synthesis is a little-known but essential pathway that supports energy production and metabolic health.Summary: Dr. Sara Nowinski explains how mitochondria not only burn fuels to make ATP but also synthesize their own fatty acids inside the matrix; this conserved pathway produces lipoic acid (an essential enzyme cofactor) and longer-chain fats required for proper assembly of the electron transport chain, and disrupting it impairs respiration, glucose handling, and insulin sensitivity while enhancing it appears protective against obesity and heart injury.About the guest: Sara Nowinski, PhD is an assistant professor in the Department of Metabolism and Nutritional Programming at Van Andel Institute in Grand Rapids, Michigan, where since 2021 she has led a lab focused on mitochondrial biology and the mitochondrial fatty acid synthesis (mitoFAS) pathway.Topics Discussed:Basic mitochondrial energy production: food → pyruvate/fatty acids → acetyl-CoA → TCA cycle → electron transport chain → ATPMitochondrial fatty acid synthesis (mitoFAS): a bacterial-like pathway that builds fats on an acyl carrier protein inside the matrixLipoic acid: an 8-carbon fatty acid made only by mitoFAS, covalently attached to key enzymes (e.g., pyruvate dehydrogenase); cannot be rescued by supplements for cofactor useLonger mitoFAS products (14–16 carbons) stabilize electron transport chain assembly factors, explaining why pathway loss collapses respiration even when lipoic acid is intactKnocking out mitoFAS causes embryonic lethality, insulin resistance, poor glucose homeostasis, and a rare neurodegenerative disorder (MEPAN syndrome)Overexpressing the mitochondrial acyl carrier protein protects mice from diet-induced obesity, insulin resistance, and cardiac injuryMuscle cell differentiation fails without mitoFAS, hinting at a role in tissue development and repairPractical Takeaways:Supplemental lipoic acid can act as an antioxidant but cannot replace the lipoic acid your mitochondria must make themselves for enzyme function.Severe impairment of mitochondrial fatty acid synthesis is linked to insulin resistance and metabolic disruption, suggesting mitochondrial health (beyond just biogenesis) matters for glucose control.Lifestyle or future therapies that boost overall mitochondrial function (e.g., exercise via PGC-1α) may indirectly support tSupport the showAffiliates: Lumen device to optimize your metabolism for weight loss or athletic performance.

NASA will hold a highly anticipated briefing tomorrow at 3 PM Eastern to finally release month-delayed HiRISE images of 3I/ATLAS captured during its Mars flyby. But the agency's contradictory track record on transparency raises questions after their inconclusive 2023 UAP study that promised openness yet provided limited answers, their carefully hedged September 2025 Mars microbial life announcement requiring further Earth-based analysis, and now this controversial 40-day delay blamed on government shutdown despite the shutdown ending four days before the scheduled release. This leaving many to wonder if NASA's pattern of cautious language and delayed disclosures will continue when Associate Administrator Amit Kshatriya, Nicky Fox, Shawn Domagal-Goldman, and Tom Statler take questions from media and the public about the third confirmed interstellar object ever detected passing through our solar system.To see the VIDEO of this episode, click or copy link - https://youtu.be/mu9cXhuj0E0Visit my website with International UFO News, Articles, Videos, and Podcast direct links -www.ufonews.co00:00 - NASA Breaks Silence about 3I/ATLAS02:05 - 3I/ATLAS Details03:34 - Month-Long 3I/ATLAS Image Delay04:03 - NASA's Transparency Problem07:08 - Pattern of Contradictions08:26 - Meet Tomorrow's PanelistsBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/strange-and-unexplained--5235662/support.

Screen Time for Young Children: A Parent's Search for Answers and Options In this day and age of smartphones, electronic billboards, TVs, and the seemingly impossible-to-avoid screen, it's easy to lose connection to what matters most, our community as human beings. We crave connection, and by mindlessly scrolling or putting on a video to appease ourselves or a child, we inherently rob ourselves and our charges of a chance to truly connect, oftentimes causing irrevocable damage to the brain. We know screens are here to stay, so the question becomes how we can shift how we use them to encourage in-person interaction and relationship-building. In addition to researching how to undo the damage to young people's brains, thanks to the addictive nature of shows and games, we need to research how to reduce the harm in the first place. In this episode Sarah Elkins and Will Maurer discuss the how research on screentime for infants has been limited because of the blanket prohibition and shame related to it, and why it's critical to continue this research. (Hint: Infants will be exposed to screentime by parents, older siblings, and others, so let's figure out how to reduce harm and maybe even find value in it!) Highlights Screen time and how it affects infants & children's brains. Taking steps to create a personalized plan for your child or yourself regarding screen time. Doing the research that needs to be done, especially in necessary but difficult paths. What exactly is it that makes certain shows addictive and damaging? What are the consequences of ignoring the obvious - that infants are being exposed to screen time despite the general prohibition?  Quotes "Are they absorbing anything? Is a parent able to co-view and add to that experience?" "As a society we put a lot of money into addressing issues after the fact."  Dear Listeners it is now your turn, What will you take away from this conversation? If you don't have young children at home, what can you do that's a little bit different to connect with the young children you see around you? One of the things I say in my TED Talk is, we can connect with people around us through story easily and with total strangers, and one of the examples I gave is when you sit next to a family at a restaurant and you watch a child playing a familiar game or watching a familiar show and you share a brief story how your kid liked that too. This is your chance, find ways to connect to the people around you, through story. And, as always, thank you for listening.    Mentioned in this episode Dimitri Christakis TEDX Do Policy Statements on Media Effects Faithfully Represent the Science?   About Will As a TEDx speaker and leading voice in children's media reform, Will Maurer is pioneering evidence-based guidelines and solutions that bridge scientific research with real-world execution. His work challenges industry norms, prioritizes early childhood learning, and champions equitable, enriching content for the next generation. Through advocacy, research, and leadership, he is reshaping the future of children's media - driving systemic change and setting new standards for quality, impact, and accessibility on a global scale. Be sure to check out Will's Facebook, LinkedIn, and Instagram! As well as his LinkTree!   About Sarah "Uncovering the right stories for the right audiences so executives, leaders, public speakers, and job seekers can clearly and actively demonstrate their character, values, and vision." In my work with coaching clients, I guide people to improve their communication using storytelling as the foundation of our work together. What I've realized over years of coaching and podcasting is that the majority of people don't realize the impact of the stories they share - on their internal messages, and on the people they're sharing them with. My work with leaders and people who aspire to be leaders follows a similar path to the interviews on my podcast, uncovering pivotal moments in their lives and learning how to share them to connect more authentically with others, to make their presentations and speaking more engaging, to reveal patterns that have kept them stuck or moved them forward, and to improve their relationships at work and at home. The audiobook, Your Stories Don't Define You, How You Tell Them Will is now available! Included with your purchase are two bonus tracks, songs recorded by Sarah's band, Spare Change, in her living room in Montana.

You're doing the screenings, you're following the standard protocols, but the lasting solutions are elusive. What if the very foundation of modern care—science alone—is the problem? Maranda dives into the six critical limitations of medical science that are actively harming mothers in the fourth trimester. This isn't anti-science; it's a call for a more honest, holistic postpartum health model. This episode exposes the six critical limitations of medical care actively harming the fourth trimester.
