The discourse presented in this inaugural episode of "The Whole Church Science Fair" elucidates the prevalent notion that science and faith are often perceived as antithetical. Joshua Noel and TJ Blackwell delve into the historical context of this dichotomy, particularly highlighting the Scopes Monkey Trial of 1925, which serves as a pivotal moment in the intersection of education, religion, and science in America. Furthermore, the discussion traverses the realms of flood geology and Young Earth Creationism (YEC) theology, tracing their roots and implications within contemporary Christian thought. By addressing these critical topics, the episode aims to lay a foundational understanding that will inform the subsequent explorations in this miniseries. The speakers invite listeners to engage thoughtfully with these complex issues as they seek to foster unity within the church amidst divergent perspectives on faith and science.In the inaugural episode of the miniseries titled "The Whole Church Science Fair," hosts Joshua Noel and TJ Blackwell embark on an enlightening exploration of the perceived dichotomy between faith and science. They delve into the historical context of this conflict, referencing the notorious Scopes Monkey Trial of 1925, which epitomized the tension between scientific inquiry, particularly the teaching of evolution, and religious beliefs in a literal interpretation of the Bible. The episode elucidates how this trial not only highlighted the struggle for academic freedom but also set the stage for ongoing debates within Christianity regarding the acceptance of scientific theories such as evolution and the age of the earth. Through their dialogue, the hosts emphasize the importance of recognizing and addressing these historical events to foster understanding and unity within the church, as they prepare for discussions on various scientific topics in upcoming episodes.Takeaways: Many individuals perceive a conflict between faith and science, often rooted in historical events such as The Scopes Monkey Trial. The Scopes Monkey Trial of 1925 exemplifies the tension between educational freedom and religious beliefs regarding evolution. Flood geology emerged as a response to scientific evidence for an old Earth, significantly influencing Young Earth Creationism in America. The conversation highlights the importance of unity within the Church amidst differing views on science and theology. The podcast aims to explore how science can enhance our understanding of faith rather than seeing them as opposing forces. The series will include discussions with various scientists to illustrate how their work deepens their faith, fostering a more harmonious relationship between science and religion. .Check out all of the other shows in the Anazao Podcast Network:https://anazao-ministries.captivate.fm.You can leave a donation, buy podcast merchandise, check out previous series that we've done, or become an official member of The Whole Church Podcast on our website:https://the-whole-church-podcast-shop.fourthwall.com/.Be sure to follow all of our Whole Church Science Fair series using the RSS feed below:https://feeds.captivate.fm/the-whole-church-podcast/wc-science-fair/.Check out TJ on Systematic Geekology:https://player.captivate.fm/collection/f4c32709-d8ff-4cef-8dfd-5775275c3c5e.Hear...

Co-hosts Ryan Piansky, a graduate student and patient advocate living with eosinophilic esophagitis (EoE) and eosinophilic asthma, and Holly Knotowicz, a speech-language pathologist living with EoE who serves on APFED's Health Sciences Advisory Council, interview three high school students who made less invasive EoE diagnostics the focus of a science fair project.

Ryan introduces co-host Holly Knotowicz.   [1:08] Holly introduces today's guests, three high school students from Texas who made EoE diagnostics the focus of a science fair project: Leyna, Nhu, and Jaden.   [1:47] Leyna, Nhu, and Jaden are best friends. Nhu was diagnosed with EoE last summer. Leyna said Nhu told them it took a long time for the doctors to diagnose her because they thought it could be different conditions.   [2:07] Nhu told them about her appointments and her endoscopy procedures. She had to miss school sometimes. Leyna and Jaden were concerned for her.   [2:22] Leyna took AP Bio. Her teacher was a sponsor for the science fair. Leyna thought this would be a meaningful project for the three friends to learn more about Nhu's condition.    [2:45] Holly shares that she wasn't diagnosed until her 20s, but she was sick for much of her childhood.   [3:13] Ryan shares that he was diagnosed when he was two, after two years of his parents taking him to different doctors and undergoing different tests.   [3:31] Nhu says it was hard to find a specialist. They found one and had to wait six months for an appointment. It was a long time, suffering from the effects of EoE with constant symptoms, a lot of heartburn, and painful vomiting.   [4:00] Nhu was diagnosed with EoE in her sophomore year of high school. Her friends have seen her endure a lot, but she's strong. Nhu had to miss an orchestra concert where she had a big solo, because of her EoE.   [4:32] Doctors thought Nhu could have something different, like H. Pylori or cyclic vomiting syndrome. They didn't have clear answers, which was confusing and frustrating for her family.   [4:50] Holly talks about how difficult it was for her to get a diagnosis, and how she was told she was vomiting to get attention. She shared her reaction when diagnosed. She would like someone to do a research study about the pain tolerance of people with EoE.   [5:41] Leyna says junior year is the hardest year of high school. She doesn't know how Nhu survived physics and AP classes with EoE on top of it, and making up late work.   [6:14] Nhu takes a weekly injection. Her symptoms happen almost monthly. Sometimes she misses school for two weeks and has to catch up on work. Leyna and Jaden help her with her schoolwork.   [6:47] Ryan shared how he missed a third of his senior year in high school. He's now on an injectable biologic that has helped him a lot. That treatment option wasn't available when he was in high school. Having supportive friends to send him his schoolwork and keep him up-to-date was very helpful.   [7:11] Ryan explains the esophageal string test (EST). This is a tool that was developed to help monitor eosinophilic esophagitis (EoE). The test works by having the patient swallow a capsule about the size of a Tic Tac that has a string attached.   [7:25] The capsule dissolves in the stomach while the string stays in place in the esophagus. After about an hour, it's gently removed. Along the way, the string collects samples from the lining of the esophagus, which are reviewed, similarly to a biopsy.   [7:37] Holly adds that what makes the string test unique is that it doesn't require an endoscope, anesthesia, or recovery time, things that usually come with a traditional endoscopy and biopsy.   [7:46] It's now being used with patients as young as four years old. While some people might feel some minor discomfort, it's generally much easier for regular monitoring than an endoscopy.   [7:57] Holly explains that she was involved in testing the device and developing a swallowing protocol for it at Children's Hospital of Colorado. We will talk more about this later in the episode.   [8:06] Ryan adds, to learn more about the development of the string test, listen to episode 26 of this podcast.   [8:10] The string test is one of multiple, less-invasive monitoring tools for eosinophilic esophagitis. Others include the sponge test and unsedated trans-nasal endoscopy.   [8:19] To learn more about unsedated transnasal endoscopy, listen to episodes 19 and 20, where we talk to clinicians and patients about this method.   [8:27] During that episode, we talked to the developers of the EST.   [8:38] Jaden tells how he, Leyna, and Nhu brainstormed ideas and decided to base their project specifically on how to diagnose EoE in a less invasive way than endoscopies.   [9:12] Before this project, they were not familiar with the EST. Nhu says her only option for diagnosis was an endoscopy.   [9:21] Holly says it's still like that in Maine. She came from an area of the country where the EST was researched, and it's interesting to her that she doesn't have access to it now.   [9:37] What appealed to the group about the EST as an alternative to endoscopies is that it was so different. There are so many advanced technologies, and the EST is just a capsule taped to a string. It is simple but innovative.   [10:13] Real Talk: Eosinophilic Diseases had Drs. Robin Shandas and Steven Ackerman, who were instrumental in the development of the esophageal string test, as guests on episode 26 of this podcast. Ryan encourages listeners to check out that episode at apfed.org/podcasts.   [10:42] They searched for keywords and analyzed a variety of scholarly literature. They collected a lot of data from Dr. Ackerman's papers.   [11:10] They also reached out to gastroenterologists on social media. A hard thing about science fair projects is coming up with an experiment. They didn't know what they could do just with compiled research, but they had a great sponsor who helped along the way.   [11:56] Leyna says they trusted that the doctors they reached out to on social media were competent in their understanding of different diagnostic methods. She notes that different locations may have different resources and different biases.   [12:14] Leyna says they talked to doctors in the U.S. and from different countries, including India and Mexico. She commented that communities in Mexico might not have the same resources as communities in the U.S. or India. That might change their understanding of the EST.   [12:33] We might have different biases because we don't have the same technology to research and find the same things about the EST.   [13:12] Leyna says they reached out to doctors on social media, but didn't get responses from that many doctors. Reaching out to patients would be a good thing if they want to continue the project.   [14:00] Jaden says most of the data they found was from Dr. Ackerman, including a survey he did comparing the data of the EST and the biopsies.   [14:10] They found that the EST and the biopsies were relatively similar in terms of discovering the eosinophilic count and determining whether the EoE is active or inactive.   [15:30] They found differences between ESTs and biopsies in finding how much of a certain chemical is in the patient's cells.   [14:43] Leyna comments that one of the doctors they reached out to told them about the sponge test, another less invasive method. They didn't research the sponge test, but it sounded interesting.   [15:00] Ryan says there are a lot of cool new techniques that are being researched, like the transnasal endoscopy that goes in through the nose, the string test, and the sponge test.   [15:13] Leyna says the cool thing was hearing about all these methods. They had hypothesized that there are less invasive methods that may be better than endoscopies.   [15:27] They were not able to prove their hypothesis yet. They learned a lot of different things that could be beneficial.   [15:42] Holly points out that the transnasal endoscopy is not scary. It's also known as the unsedated endoscopy. Holly has done both the EST and the unsedated endoscopy,  and they each have pluses and minuses.   [16:15] Nhu explains how the team would meet at one of their houses, usually Leyna's house. One day, they watched Interstellar together, and the “Eureka moment” scene motivated them.   [16:41] They helped each other whenever necessary. When the project board was due, they all went to Leyna's house to work on the project board. They worked together as a team.   [16:51] Jaden analyzed a lot of the data. Leyna reached out to professors. Nhu helped Jaden understand some terms. On the day they presented the project, Nhu was sick in the hospital, which made them sad. They included a photo of her on the project board.   [17:28] Holly says that although Nhu wasn't there, it may have helped people know how sick EoE can make you feel.   [18:28] Leyna says one of the doctors they reached through social media told them that endoscopies have lots of benefits. The biopsy samples give healthcare professionals a clear idea of how many eosinophils per high-powered field, a key indicator in diagnosing EoE.   [18:57] The diagnosis gives a baseline for starting treatment for the patient, monitoring how effective the treatment is. You can't count the number of eosinophils per high-powered field using the string test.   [19:11] The EST is a gelatin capsule attached to a long string that you swallow. It dissolves in the stomach. It's less expensive than an endoscopy.   [19:33] Holly says one of the big differences is that you can't diagnose EoE on a string test. It has to be diagnosed with an endoscopy.   [19:40] Leyna says they learned that from the doctors and medical students who reviewed their project board. You can't diagnose EoE with the EST, but you can monitor it.   [19:52] The string test doesn't provide a direct eosinophil count, but it reflects the level of inflammation in your esophagus, and it can measure the protein biomarkers. That correlates with the eosinophil count from a biopsy. It is good for monitoring EoE.   [20:12] Ryan says that's a great idea. In the show notes, there is a link to the diagnostic consensus guidelines. They specify that you need an endoscopy and 15 eosinophils per high-powered field to be diagnosed with EoE.   [20:28] The EST can monitor the progression of the disorder as you're trying new medicines or an elimination diet. If you need an endoscopy every three to six months, it can be taxing.    [20:49] Ryan comments on the cost. Going through anesthesia for an endoscopy is very expensive, and not everyone has the insurance to cover these diagnostic procedures. The EST is an option you can do in a doctor's office in just over an hour.   [21:16] Holly asks if Nhu has participated in a string test. Nhu has not, but she would love to do a string test if she had the chance. Whenever she sees her doctor, she brings up her condition, and what could be better for her, such as the string test.   [22:06] The science fair is a huge regional fair in Houston, called the Science and Engineering Fair of Houston (SEFH). This was their first year participating. They were regional qualifiers from their district. When they got there, everyone else had six-foot-tall printed boards. It was a shock to them.   [22:56] They hope to level up their board for next year's fair. It was cool and eye-opening to see all these student researchers and get feedback from the people who walked by their booth. They heard some interesting things to use in their next project.   [23:15] One medical student in attendance came by their project board and suggested that while the EST may not diagnose EoE, maybe it could be used as a screening tool [to help identify people who should follow up with a gastroenterologist for a diagnostic work-up]. Interestingly, this was a medical student, and she had recently scheduled an appointment with a gastroenterologist for an endoscopy to see if she has EoE.   [24:04] This student didn't seem to know much about EoE, but felt she was experiencing symptoms that might indicate EoE. She told them she had learned so much from their board. Ryan says it's great that the project was able to help this person.   [24:44] Jaden says that the students at their school didn't know much about EoE, but when they looked at the project board, they were shocked by how incredibly difficult it is to diagnose EoE and how the EST could change a lot of things as a screening method.   [25:11] Jaden says their science teacher came by to see their board and how they were doing. He liked how they included not only the research information but also the stories of why they chose their project and why they were passionate about it.   [25:34] The day of the project, Leyna and Jaden were sad that Nhu couldn't be there with them. Their sponsor, Leyna's biology teacher, was sick, but showed up at the fair to view their presentation. They raised awareness about EoE. People learned about it.   [25:54] When Nhu told Leyna about her EoE, Leyna had no idea what it was. She's glad their project brought the issue to the table. They emphasized that more research needs to be done. There is much we don't know about less invasive methods.   [26:23] Nhu has considered a career in medicine since she has been in many hospitals and talked to a lot of doctors. Jaden sees himself in the engineering field, but he enjoys researching like this and seeing things through a different perspective.   [27:05] Nhu learned a lot about herself with EoE. Leyna loves how much they learned from this project. She is interested in pursuing scientific research. She thinks it's cool that Ryan is a graduate student.   [27:24] Leyna just got back from a five-week summer research program. It was insightful. She doesn't see herself becoming a doctor, but possibly doing research and advocating for different conditions.   [27:43] When Ryan was in high school, with all his hospital time, he had an interest in medicine, then he took a turn into engineering. He enjoys research. He's passionate about engaging in patient advocacy work through APFED.   [28:10] Ryan is glad for Leyna, Nhu, and Jaden that they were able to engage with this research and do it as a group and as friends. He says it's fantastic to hear from the group about the whole process they went through.   [28:23] Holly asks, looking back on everything you guys learned and experienced in this project, what's one question or idea you would still like to explore if you had more time and resources?   [28:38] Nhu wants to research finding more ways to diagnose EoE. Testing for EoE and finding EoE are very interesting for her.   [28:53] Jaden thinks that if they had more time, they would try to create a model of the EST to show how it works. He would possibly try to improve upon the model or develop something new. Instead of just relying on the data we have, he would try to collect data.   [29:26] Leyna agrees. She would like to build a prototype, understand how the capsule works, and find out whether the string down the esophagus is uncomfortable.   [33:41] Ryan suggests there is a doctor who would let them try the string test so they could see how it feels. Holly tried the string test at a major children's hospital while it was being researched. She doesn't want to ask her patients to do something she hasn't done, since she has the diagnosis too.   [30:37] Ryan comments that he enjoyed hearing about the process of the project.   [30:51] Ryan gives a quick recap: The esophageal string test is a tool to help monitor EoE. It is not a tool to diagnose EoE. If you or a loved one has EoE or suspect that you might, ask your clinician about the string test to see if it's an option for you.   [31:03] Holly adds: School science fairs are one way to bring education about eosinophilic disorders to schools. We love hearing about community science fairs and school projects that teach others about these conditions.   [31:13] For those of you looking to learn more about eosinophilic esophagitis, we encourage you to visit apfed.org/EoE.   [31:23] For those looking to find specialists who treat EoE, we encourage you to use APFED's Specialist Finder at apfed.org/specialist.   [31:30] Ryan thanks Leyna, Nhu, and Jaden for joining us today. Holly also thanks APFED's Education Partners Bristol Myers Squibb, GSK, Sanofi, Regeneron, and Takeda for supporting this episode.   Mentioned in This Episode: Dr. Robin Shandas Dr. Steven Ackerman “Updated international consensus diagnostic criteria for eosinophilic esophagitis: Proceedings of the AGREE conference”   APFED on YouTube, Twitter, Facebook, Pinterest, Instagram Real Talk: Eosinophilic Diseases Podcast apfed.org/specialist apfed.org/connections   Education Partners: This episode of APFED's podcast is brought to you thanks to the support of Bristol Myers Squibb, GSK, Sanofi, Regeneron, and Takeda.   Tweetables:   “Nhu and Jaden are my best friends. Recently, Nhu was diagnosed with EoE. I remember her telling us about the long diagnosis process. It took the doctors quite a long time to diagnose her because they thought it could be different conditions.” — Leyna   “I thought that this would be a meaningful project for us to learn more about Nhu's condition [of EoE].” — Leyna   “The students at our school didn't know much about EoE, but when they looked at the project board, they were shocked by how incredibly difficult it is to diagnose EoE.” — Jaden   “One of the main benefits of the string test is that endoscopies can be quite expensive, especially the anesthesia. It could be beneficial for people who don't have the money for an endoscopy.” — Nhu

Two Random hikers, a secluded spot, a field manual.By HectorBidon. Listen to the Podcast at Steamy Stories. One of the big lessons I learned the summer I graduated from high school was that if something is worth doing, it's worth doing even if it was your mother's idea. The Park Department was putting on a series of new events for young adults, and my mother kept bugging me to go to one of them. "It will get you out of the house," she'd say. "You love the outdoors. It will give you a chance to meet people." By people she meant girls. Here I was, eighteen, and I still didn't have a girlfriend. She was afraid I'd be a bachelor all my life.I think she was trying to correct her mistakes from the past 5 years. Until the past few months, she tried to keep me from anything that might conflict with her frigid attitudes on dating and sex. Now she was often suggesting that I ask out some girl who met her qualifications. What teenage guy wants to let their mom be their matchmaker!”My dad left my mom when I was 13, and married a woman in another state. Mom never dated any men since then.  So mom tried to find good male role models for me. Scouting was okay, because my buddies were there. But other than the scouting idea, I resented her socialization initiatives. Dad rarely visited, once his new wife had a baby; nor did he arrange for me to come visit him.  But he paid for my prep school, and I got a car for my graduation/18th birthday present.The fact is, I was dying to get out of the house. I did love the outdoors. I desperately wanted to meet girls. The only reason I was dragging my feet was because it was her idea. It began to dawn on me that this was not a very grown-up reason.So I took a look at the schedule. One of the events was going to be an orienteering hike in Twisty Creek Park. It was a new county park and nature preserve & endowment that some rich widow gave to the county, upon her death. The terms required the county to provide educational experiences for reintroducing young people to nature, through hikes and other activities. The hikers would be divided up into teams, and each team would have to find their way around an eight-mile course using a map and a compass. It sounded like it might be fun. So I signed up online. They sent me a topographic map of the park and a list of directions that we'd have to follow to get around the course.On the morning of the hike, I got to the park a few minutes late. There were half a dozen cars in the parking lot, but I didn't see any people. I got out to take a look around. Another car door opened, and a girl got out. She was wearing khaki shorts, a light blue polo shirt, and a brimmed hat."Are you here for the orienteering hike?" she asked."Yeah," I replied. "Have they left already?""I don't think so.” She guessed. “I've been here for ten minutes, and you're the only other person I've seen." She had a pretty face with freckles and light brown hair. She looked both shapely and athletic. Her hair was flowing halfway to her waist."Do you think it got cancelled?""Usually they let you know." She said. “The weather is fine. Maybe someone had a personal health issue?”"So what should we do?" I sought her advice."Keep waiting, I guess. See if anyone else shows up."She got her backpack from her car, and we waited in the shade of some oak trees. We looked at our maps and oriented ourselves with respect to a few of the taller hills that could be seen from the parking lot. I was usually pretty shy around girls, but since we were both interested in figuring out the map, I was able to hold my own. I hadn't done this kind of nature stuff since my scouting troop disbanded, two years ago, when the leaders either moved or had health complications.Eventually, fifteen minutes had gone by, and no one else had arrived."Well, I guess we're it," she said. "What do you think? Shall we just go ahead and try to take the hike ourselves?"It was an exciting prospect. She was friendly and very pretty; and we seemed to be getting along well. "I guess that's what we're here for."So, with both our compasses out; we headed out down the trail. It was a fire access road, actually, wide enough for the two of us to walk along side by side. She introduced herself as Heidi. She was outgoing and friendly and easy to talk to. She'd just graduated from the public high school. I'd just graduated from the Catholic boys prep school. We were both going to the State University, the next year."I thought everybody from St Francis went to some big name college," she said."Some do, but not everybody can afford it," I explained."Wasn't it weird going to a high school with only boys?" Heidi asked, in a platonic tone."You get used to it, I guess.""But you had girls in your grade school, didn't you? I don't see why they separate you in high school. I mean, the real world has boys and girls both. Shouldn't high school be the same way?""I guess they figure we'll catch up eventually. They probably want to save our eternal souls from sexual temptations." I said, the mocking tone of a fundamentalist preacher."But you guys did do things with Carlmont, didn't you?" That was the nearest Catholic girls high school. "Dances and things?""They had dances and things. I didn't usually go.""How come?""Too shy, I guess.""Oh come on. You don't seem that shy. Did you go to the prom?""Nah." I was surprised at how personal her questions became; and to be truthful, the thought of going to the prom had never even crossed my mind. But now I felt embarrassed that I hadn't at least considered it."Because you were shy?""I didn't really have anyone to ask.""Couldn't you have asked one of the girls you went to grade school with?""I guess I haven't kept in very good touch with them. In Junior high I was terrified of girls. I certainly didn't have any girls in my 13 year old social circle, let alone a female whose friendship had any lasting connection.”"Well? See? II you want to have someone to ask to the prom, it's going to take a little effort on your part."“Yeah, I got it.” I was starting to feel a little uncomfortable being in the spotlight."What about you?" I asked. "Did you go to the prom?"Her reply surprised me. "Not really.""Not really, or No?""Nobody asked me.""Really? I mean, seriously. You're so pretty. You're so nice.""Yeah, well, a lot of shy guys at my school too, I guess. I was a bit of a tom-boy, in my youth.  I have 3 older brothers, and no sisters.”The first few legs of the orienteering route were pretty easy to figure out. They had us going along a ridge with nice views of the creek and the hills beyond. It was a pleasant day with big fluffy clouds in the sky. We didn't see another soul on the trail.Then one leg took us down into a big open meadow. It started off along an unofficial path that wasn't too hard to follow. But when we got down to the meadow the trail became sketchier and sketchier. Finally it disappeared altogether, and we had to bushwhack through tall grass in the general direction of the creek. The ground was swampy in places, and swarming with mosquitos."I wish I'd worn long pants," Heidi grumbled. Eventually we came to firmer ground, and we struck the creek right at a stand of shady sycamores. It was a pretty site with a rough little beach of pebbles and coarse sand.According to the directions, there should have been a bridge there, but there wasn't. We studied the map, and Heidi finally figured it out. We weren't where we thought we were."Here's the bridge," she said, pointing at the map. "If we were there, then Grizzly Peak would be west of this hill. But it's east. So we must be over here somewhere.""Right," I said. "And look, the creek takes a big turn here. So maybe this is where we are." I indicated a point on the map only about two-thirds of the way toward the bridge. We decided that we must have taken the wrong side trail down into the meadow. It hadn't been a real trail at all, just an animal track. That's why it had petered out in the tall grass."So what do we do now?" Heidi asked.One option would be to retrace our steps through the meadow, but neither of us much wanted to go back that way again. Or we could try to follow along the creek itself, but we had no idea how rough the terrain might be.The third option would be to cross the creek where we were and then cut across country to intersect the trail again about a half a mile ahead. That way didn't look to be as overgrown as the meadow had been, and in fact it looked like it might be our best bet. The problem was the creek. It was pretty wide here, and no telling how deep. We decided to reconnoiter a bit to see if we could find an easier place to cross.Heidi bent down to tighten her shoelace and let out a little shriek."A tick!" she cried. It was in the cuff of her sock. She brushed it off and stomped it with a vengeance. Our instructions had warned about the possibility of ticks. The ones in our area weren't thought to carry Lyme disease, but they could carry other diseases, and they were just all-around nasty creatures, burrowing into your skin and sucking your blood.Heidi sat down on the trunk of a fallen tree. She took off her shoes and socks and found one more tick. I stepped out of my own shoes and found one of the little buggers myself. "We must have picked them up in the meadow," I said.Heidi was checking the legs of her shorts. She spotted another one, right on her inner thigh. "God," she said, "I've got one on my leg, too."I was wearing long pants. "They can't get inside your clothes, can they?"Heidi was standing up again. "They can get anywhere! We probably need to check ourselves, all over." She sounded very serious. She began to unbutton her shorts, but she didn't want to pull them down in front of me. So she turned her back, and then looked over her shoulder to make sure I turned my back too.Was she really going to take off her shorts right out there in the open? Well, it was the only way to know for sure. The spot where we were was pretty secluded. We'd turned our backs to give each other as much privacy as possible.I started to wonder if I shouldn't check myself as well. I took off my tee shirt and felt around my chest and armpits. Could they really have gotten inside my pants? I unbuckled them and tried to look down inside. It felt kind of silly undressing in the out of doors, but I carefully stepped out of one leg and then the other. I took a quick glance around to make sure Heidi wasn't looking.She still had her back to me. She'd taken off her shorts, and everything else! I could see her bare, split bottom. She was completely nude! That must have been what she meant by checking herself all over.I was shocked that she'd taken her clothes off, and I was just as shocked that she'd thought it necessary to check herself all the way down to the skin. I turned quickly back away from her. I looked down inside the waistband of my underpants. It was a rat's nest of pubic hair down there. Could there be ticks? The only way to know for sure would be to take a closer look.Keeping my back to Heidi, I slid my underpants down. And right there on the underside of my penis, right where it emerged from my balls, was the horrid little black watermelon seed of a tick. It had already started to latch on. My heart skipped a beat.Heidi must have heard me gasp. "Don't try to pull it out!" she ordered. She was looking right at me. "You might break it, and then we won't be able to get the head out. Hold on. I've got some tweezers in my first-aid kit."She crouched to open her backpack, split bottom and all. Then she stood back up with the tweezers. She had breasts real breasts and, down where her bikini bottom should have been, a fuzzy little patch of hair. I'd never seen a girl naked before. I'd never seen the way her breasts swell so naturally from her chest, the way they sway as she hastens toward you, the way they're capped so frankly by their pink little buds. Her boobs were each very wide and came together in a cleaved valley. They started high and sloped low, but without sagging at all. Every move she made had a resulting jiggle."Sit there," she commanded, indicating the tree trunk. Her face was full of concern, her voice charged with the authority of someone who has recently read the field manual. She knelt down in front of me. No girl had ever seen my penis before. But now I had no choice but to show it to her. I lifted it up and let her see even the underside.She assessed the situation. "Keep the skin stretched tight," she told me. So I held my dick up with one hand and used the other to pull down the saggy skin of my balls. She held the tweezers parallel to the skin, right down touching it, to grab the tick as close in as she could get. She pulled slowly, tenting the skin at first and then plucking the tick right out. She inspected it closely. "I think we got it all," she said with freckled concentration, holding it up for me to see. She squashed it between the jaws of the tweezers, then dropped it on the ground and smeared it with a rock.She looked back up at me, still crouched between my legs, deliberately ignoring the fact that we were both naked. "I should probably check to see if there are any others," she said, speaking still with the authority of the field manual. I could see that she was probably right. She could check me much more thoroughly than I could check myself. I let go of my dick and spread my legs farther apart.She bent in close. She started with my pubic hair, using both her hands to curry through it. Just a minute ago we'd been hiking down the trail, chatting about high school, and now we were naked and she was fiddling around with my crotch. All I could see from my vantage were her brown tresses and her broad, bare back. But I could feel her careful probing. No one had ever touched me where she was touching me. I could feel myself starting to stiffen. There was nothing I could do to stop it. She finally had to move her head back to dodge being slapped in the cheek. I was too embarrassed to even apologize.She kept working as if protruding dicks were nothing out of the ordinary for her. She had me spread my legs even wider so she could check where my balls tucked up against my thighs. She was still using her fingers to curry the hair, but very timidly, trying hard to avoid touching my scrotum. I don't think I've ever been so embarrassed. Or so erect.She scrunched way down, trying to see the underside of my balls. "Um, " she said.It wasn't really possible for me to lean much farther back. "What if I turn around?" I suggested.

Two Random hikers, a secluded spot, a field manual.By HectorBidon. Listen to the Podcast at Steamy Stories. One of the big lessons I learned the summer I graduated from high school was that if something is worth doing, it's worth doing even if it was your mother's idea. The Park Department was putting on a series of new events for young adults, and my mother kept bugging me to go to one of them. "It will get you out of the house," she'd say. "You love the outdoors. It will give you a chance to meet people." By people she meant girls. Here I was, eighteen, and I still didn't have a girlfriend. She was afraid I'd be a bachelor all my life.I think she was trying to correct her mistakes from the past 5 years. Until the past few months, she tried to keep me from anything that might conflict with her frigid attitudes on dating and sex. Now she was often suggesting that I ask out some girl who met her qualifications. What teenage guy wants to let their mom be their matchmaker!”My dad left my mom when I was 13, and married a woman in another state. Mom never dated any men since then.  So mom tried to find good male role models for me. Scouting was okay, because my buddies were there. But other than the scouting idea, I resented her socialization initiatives. Dad rarely visited, once his new wife had a baby; nor did he arrange for me to come visit him.  But he paid for my prep school, and I got a car for my graduation/18th birthday present.The fact is, I was dying to get out of the house. I did love the outdoors. I desperately wanted to meet girls. The only reason I was dragging my feet was because it was her idea. It began to dawn on me that this was not a very grown-up reason.So I took a look at the schedule. One of the events was going to be an orienteering hike in Twisty Creek Park. It was a new county park and nature preserve & endowment that some rich widow gave to the county, upon her death. The terms required the county to provide educational experiences for reintroducing young people to nature, through hikes and other activities. The hikers would be divided up into teams, and each team would have to find their way around an eight-mile course using a map and a compass. It sounded like it might be fun. So I signed up online. They sent me a topographic map of the park and a list of directions that we'd have to follow to get around the course.On the morning of the hike, I got to the park a few minutes late. There were half a dozen cars in the parking lot, but I didn't see any people. I got out to take a look around. Another car door opened, and a girl got out. She was wearing khaki shorts, a light blue polo shirt, and a brimmed hat."Are you here for the orienteering hike?" she asked."Yeah," I replied. "Have they left already?""I don't think so.” She guessed. “I've been here for ten minutes, and you're the only other person I've seen." She had a pretty face with freckles and light brown hair.

Rotorua has been hosting the only science fair that celebrates the combination of Māori knowledge and science. Reporter Libby Kirkby-McLeod went to check it out.

Young scientist Matteo Paz made a big discovery in high school, one that astronomers and astrophysicists can use in their research. Paz developed a new AI algorithm that allowed him to detect more than a million undiscovered objects in outer space. His research landed him first place at the 2025 Regeneron Science Talent Search, which comes with a $250,000 cash prize. In this episode, Paz discusses his project and how both a mentor and motivation inspired him to learn and innovate. Matteo Paz attended Pasadena High School in California, where he was president and founder of the research club and mentored others in science contests. He graduated in 2025 and will attend MIT (Massachusetts Institute of Technology) in the fall. His new AI algorithm was published in the Astronomical Journal in November 2024, while he was still in high school.

Sammy and Leo Marcus, of Winnipeg, have turned their own sensitivities to the startlingly loud automatic toilets in public washrooms, into a prize-winning science project that's shedding a light on the plight of young kids and also people who wear hearing aids. The teens, who are 13 year old twins, measured hundreds of devices in hundreds of bathrooms across the Manitoba capitol, to document just how loud are those whirring automatic hand driers, the paper towel dispensers, the urinals and the hands-free flushing toilets. They found that not only do these noises cause anxiety, but also often blow past the acceptable legal noise levels that can lead to hearing damage, over a sustained period of time, and require ear protection, especially for janitors and others who work in bathrooms. Curiously, they found that of all the buildings in their survey, the Jewish ones have the quietest restrooms. Their scientific research just won the duo top prize for their age category in Winnipeg's city-wide annual science fair. They call their project The Royal Flush. And while the research has ended, for now, the hope is their work will prompt real change in how bathrooms are designed–not just for maximum hygiene, but also keeping hearing safety in mind. On this episode of The CJN Daily, Sammy and Leo Marcus join to reveal the best and the worst of their findings, and how they coped with strange looks, strict librarians, and grungy stalls.

Bible Reading: Psalm 119:65-73Denver tugged his mother's hand. "Come on, Mom! I want to find out if my science fair project won a ribbon!" "Okay, but help me keep an eye on Darcy," Denver's mom answered as she motioned for his little sister to follow them. When they arrived at the table holding Denver's project, they spotted a red ribbon attached to the board displaying Denver's research. "Second place! Cool!" Denver exclaimed. Then he, his mom, and Darcy walked around the gym looking at other projects. Denver congratulated some of his friends on their ribbons too."Denver, did you give Darcy a piece of gum?" Mom asked."No, I know Darcy's too little for gum.""Well, she's chewing something." The three of them sat down on the gym's bleachers so Mom could ask Darcy about the gum. When they realized Darcy had yanked an old, already-chewed piece of gum from under one of the science fair tables, Denver cried, "Gross!"Darcy began to whimper."Darcy, it's okay," Denver consoled his sister. "Mom, why would she do that?""She's little. She saw something that looked good, so she grabbed it. She doesn't have much experience making wise decisions yet. But she's not the only one who needs help making good choices." Mom smiled and shook her head. Then they returned to admiring the science projects set up in the gym.On the ride home, Denver asked, "Mom, what did you mean about how Darcy's not the only one who needs help making choices?""Well, we all need help choosing what's best sometimes," said Mom."Because not everything that looks good is actually good for us," Denver said. "Like Darcy's gum." "Exactly," Mom replied. "Thankfully, we have a place to turn when we need wisdom. Because you and I trust in Jesus, who died on the cross for our sins and then came back to life so we could have a relationship with God, we can go to our heavenly Father with any need we face, and He'll give us guidance.""Good to know, Mom. I'm going to ask God for guidance about next year's science project--and about keeping Darcy away from old chewing gum." –Allison Wilson Lee How About You?Have you ever faced a decision and needed help? We all have choices in life to make, and some of them are difficult. But as God's children, we can ask God for help and trust Him for wisdom in making decisions. As we look to God's Word, the Bible, for guidance and share our needs with Him, He will help us make wise choices that show others we have a relationship with Jesus. Today's Key Verse:I will instruct you and teach you in the way you should go; I will counsel you with my loving eye on you. (NIV) (Psalm 32:8)Today's Key Thought:God helps us make wise choices

Send us a textHootworthy Students Ellie and Arwen Soar at GCA's 2024 Science and Social Studies FairGeorgia Cyber Academy students Ellie and Arwen took home top honors for secondary grades at the 2024 Social Studies and Science Fair held at the Tellus Museum. Ellie's science project explored how train weight impacts speed, while Arwen's social studies project highlighted the innovations and impacts of World War I.Inspiration Behind the ProjectsEllie was inspired by a video in class on electromagnetic trains and tested whether heavier or lighter trains would be faster. Surprisingly, the heavier train won. Arwen chose World War I because it's less discussed than World War II and focused on its lasting impacts, including trench warfare, technological advances like tanks and submarines, and banned weapons like mustard gas.Highlights of the DayAt the Tellus Museum, students set up their projects and had a chance to chat with classmates and parents. For virtual learners like Ellie and Arwen, meeting peers in person was a highlight. Ellie reconnected with a classmate who placed second, while Arwen met many classmates for the first time.When the winners were announced, both were shocked. “I couldn't believe it!” Ellie said, while Arwen admitted she was “shaking like crazy” when her name was called.Advice for Future ParticipantsArwen suggests, “Don't overthink it—just have fun.” Ellie encourages students to be creative and unique with their ideas.What They Love About GCAEllie appreciates GCA's helpful teachers and variety of classes, while Arwen enjoys learning from home. Both agreed the fair was rewarding, especially meeting peers and seeing the Tellus Museum.Congrats to Ellie and Arwen for their amazing achievements–stay Hootworthy!

Fluent Fiction - Hungarian: Powering Possibilities: Zoltán's Snowstorm Science Triumph Find the full episode transcript, vocabulary words, and more:fluentfiction.com/hu/episode/2025-01-31-23-34-02-hu Story Transcript:Hu: A hajnali nap fénye csillogott a magas, üvegezett épületeken.En: The early morning sun shimmered on the tall, glass-paneled buildings.Hu: A High-Tech City futurisztikus iskolája izgatott gyerekeket várt a téli tudományos vásárra.En: High-Tech City's futuristic school awaited the excited children for the winter science fair.Hu: Zoltán, a kíváncsi és leleményes diák, izgatottan készült a nagy napra.En: Zoltán, the curious and inventive student, was eagerly preparing for the big day.Hu: Már hetek óta tervezett, hogy bemutatja legújabb találmányát: egy projektet, amely ötvözi a technológiát és a fenntarthatóságot.En: He had been planning for weeks to showcase his latest invention: a project that combines technology and sustainability.Hu: Zoltán szerette volna elnyerni a tanárok és diáktársai elismerését.En: Zoltán wanted to win the recognition of his teachers and classmates.Hu: A vásár résztvevői között ott volt Réka, Zoltán legjobb barátja, és Ákos, az iskola kockája, aki mindig tudott valamit, amit más nem.En: Among the fair's participants were Réka, Zoltán's best friend, and Ákos, the school's nerd, who always knew something others didn't.Hu: De aznap reggel, amikor a gyerekek gyülekeztek az auditoriumban, sűrű hóvihar kezdődött odakint.En: But that morning, as the children gathered in the auditorium, a heavy snowstorm began outside.Hu: Ahogy a vihar fokozódott, hirtelen áramszünet lett.En: As the storm intensified, a sudden power outage occurred.Hu: A világítás kialudt, a kivetítők elsötétültek.En: The lights went out, and the projectors went dark.Hu: Zoltán szíve gyorsabban verni kezdett.En: Zoltán's heart began to beat faster.Hu: Projektje teljes mértékben az elektromosságtól függött.En: His project relied entirely on electricity.Hu: Aggódott, hogy munkája kárba veszik.En: He worried that his work would be wasted.Hu: Zoltán azonban nem adta fel.En: However, Zoltán did not give up.Hu: Eszébe jutott: a tervében szerepeltek napelemek és kis szélturbinák is.En: He remembered: his plan included solar panels and small wind turbines.Hu: Ezek csak tartalék energiaforrásokként voltak szánva, de most eljött a pillanat, hogy bebizonyítsa azok hatékonyságát.En: These were intended as backup energy sources, but now was the moment to prove their effectiveness.Hu: Réka és Ákos biztatása mellett elkezdett dolgozni.En: With encouragement from Réka and Ákos, he began to work.Hu: Együtt behúzódtak a sarkokba, a vihar süvítése közben aktiválták a pici turbinákat és beállították a napelemeket.En: Together, they huddled in the corners, activating the tiny turbines and adjusting the solar panels amidst the storm's howling.Hu: A diákok és tanárok lassan visszatértek az auditoriumba, ahol Zoltán, Réka és Ákos már várakozott.En: Students and teachers slowly returned to the auditorium, where Zoltán, Réka, and Ákos were already waiting.Hu: A kis szerkezetek lassan, de biztosan elegendő energiát nyújtottak a projekt működtetéséhez.En: The small devices, slowly but surely, provided enough energy to power the project.Hu: Zoltán biodízel alapú generátorával a napelemek és a turbinák erejével újraélesztette prezentációját.En: With his biodiesel-based generator, Zoltán revived his presentation using the strength of the solar panels and turbines.Hu: Az áramszünet ellenére Zoltán innovációját hatalmas tapsvihar fogadta.En: Despite the power outage, Zoltán's innovation was met with a thunderous applause.Hu: A bírák és diáktársak el voltak bűvölve.En: The judges and classmates were captivated.Hu: Még a legszigorúbb tanárok is elismerően bólogattak.En: Even the strictest teachers nodded approvingly.Hu: Ahogy a fair következő részére készültek, nyilvánvaló volt, hogy Zoltán projektje lett a nap fénypontja.En: As they prepared for the next part of the fair, it was clear that Zoltán's project had become the highlight of the day.Hu: Zoltán mély levegőt vett, miközben hallgatta a dicséreteket.En: Zoltán took a deep breath as he listened to the praises.Hu: Megtanulta, hogy a kreativitás és ellenálló képesség sokkal fontosabb, mint a puszta technológiai erőforrásokra való támaszkodás.En: He learned that creativity and resilience are far more important than merely relying on technological resources.Hu: A nap végére már nem csak a díjat nyerte el, hanem önbizalmát is, és tudta, hogy bármit elérhet, ha elég kitartó és találékony.En: By the end of the day, he had not only won the prize but also gained self-confidence and knew that he could achieve anything if he was determined and inventive enough.Hu: A nap aranyszínű fénye újra megjelent az üvegtáblákon, ahogy a hóvihar elcsendesedett, Zoltán pedig mosolyogva nézett szét: "Ez az én városom, és itt bármi megvalósítható.En: The golden light of the sun reappeared on the glass panels as the snowstorm quieted, and Zoltán looked around with a smile: "This is my city, and here anything is possible."

Each was motivated to create The Cycle Book when conversations with clients revealed recurring missing information…. “When people are trying to conceive…they are often surprised to find out that the 14 day thing isn't necessarily real, and the getting pregnant at any moment is most definitely not real, that it's actually just a very tiny little window.” Learn more of what you didn't know you didn't know - on this month's FLOW.   Program Notes:   Episode Links: Morgan Miller - https://softcornermidwifery.com/morgan Laura Federico - a https://www.laurafedericotherapy.com/ The Cycle Book: https://www.penguinrandomhouse.com/books/747795/the-cycle-book-by-laura-federico-lcsw-cst-and-morgan-miller-cpm-lm/   How's Your Flow?

hurried into the gymnastiksal.Sv: Det var dags för den årliga vetenskapsmässan.En: It was time for the annual science fair.Sv: Snön låg tjock utanför, men inom dessa väggar var det varmt och livligt.En: The snow lay thick outside, but within these walls, it was warm and lively.Sv: Elin, en tolvårig flicka med ljusblå ögon och hår uppsatt i en lös fläta, bar med sig en kartong full av sina egna uppfinningar.En: Elin, a twelve-year-old girl with light blue eyes and hair tied in a loose braid, carried a box full of her own inventions.Sv: Hon var nervös, men besluten att göra sitt bästa.En: She was nervous but determined to do her best.Sv: Hennes mål var klart: vinna vetenskapsmässan.En: Her goal was clear: to win the science fair.Sv: Men det fanns ett problem.En: But there was a problem.Sv: Lukas, en klasskamrat som alltid vann tävlingar, hade också deltagit.En: Lukas, a classmate who always won competitions, was also participating.Sv: Hans projekt hade ryktet om sig att vara mycket imponerande.En: His project had a reputation for being very impressive.Sv: Elin visste att hennes styrka låg i att tänka kreativt, men materialen hon behövde var svåra att få tag på.En: Elin knew her strength lay in thinking creatively, but the materials she needed were hard to come by.Sv: Vinterens kyla hade orsakat brister på vissa artiklar som hon behövde för sitt projekt.En: The winter cold had caused shortages of certain items she needed for her project.Sv: Så hon beslutade att be sin vän Hanna om hjälp.En: So she decided to ask her friend Hanna for help.Sv: Hanna var blyg men väldigt klok och kunde alltid hitta lösningar till de mest komplexa problemen.En: Hanna was shy but very wise and could always find solutions to the most complex problems.Sv: "Hanna, jag behöver verkligen din hjälp," sade Elin en dag när de båda satt i biblioteket.En: "Hanna, I really need your help," said Elin one day when they were both sitting in the library.Sv: "Jag kan inte hitta alla saker jag behöver."En: "I can't find all the things I need."Sv: Hanna log försiktigt.En: Hanna smiled gently.Sv: "Låt oss tänka på något annat vi kan använda i stället."En: "Let's think of something else we can use instead."Sv: De två flickorna tillbringade timmar med att experimentera och tänka om.En: The two girls spent hours experimenting and rethinking.Sv: De använde gamla elektroniska delar och plastflaskor som alternativa material.En: They used old electronic parts and plastic bottles as alternative materials.Sv: Tillsammans arbetade de hårt och Elin kände sig mer förberedd nu.En: Together they worked hard, and Elin felt more prepared now.Sv: Den stora dagen kom.En: The big day came.Sv: Gymnastiksalen var fylld med bord uppställda med olika projekt.En: The gymnastiksal was filled with tables set up with various projects.Sv: Elin ställde upp sitt längre in i rummet.En: Elin set hers up further in the room.Sv: Hon såg Lukas där framme visa upp något som lyste och blinkade.En: She saw Lukas up front showing off something that lit up and blinked.Sv: "Du kan göra det här," viskade hon till sig själv.En: "You can do this," she whispered to herself.Sv: Under presentationen började en del av Elins projekt att falna.En: During the presentation, part of Elin's project began to falter.Sv: Hennes improviserade material höll inte.En: Her improvised materials didn't hold.Sv: Hjärtat dunkade i bröstet, men något inuti henne sade att hon inte skulle ge upp.En: Her heart pounded in her chest, but something inside her said not to give up.Sv: Direkt i stunden ledde hon presentationen in på ett annat spår.En: Right in the moment, she guided the presentation in another direction.Sv: "Det här är en möjlighet att visa hur viktiga misstag är i experiment," sade hon till sina åhörare.En: "This is an opportunity to show how important mistakes are in experiments," she said to her audience.Sv: "Det är så vi lär oss och förbättrar våra idéer."En: "It's how we learn and improve our ideas."Sv: Lärarna och eleverna var imponerade av hennes förmåga att hantera situationen.En: The teachers and students were impressed by her ability to handle the situation.Sv: Martinas leende fyllde henne med mod och Lukas, som också lyssnade, verkade påtagligt imponerad.En: Martinas' smile filled her with courage, and Lukas, who was also listening, seemed noticeably impressed.Sv: Efter presentationerna närmade sig en av lärarna henne.En: After the presentations, one of the teachers approached her.Sv: "Elin, vi är imponerade av ditt sätt att hantera problem," sade läraren.En: "Elin, we are impressed by how you handled the problem," said the teacher.Sv: "Du har visat en fantastisk kreativitet."En: "You have shown fantastic creativity."Sv: Även om hon inte vann första pris, fick Elin en särskild utmärkelse för innovativt tänkande.En: Although she didn't win first prize, Elin received a special award for innovative thinking.Sv: Hon kände sig stolt och glad.En: She felt proud and happy.Sv: Lukas gratulerade henne, och hans erkännande kändes nästan som en seger i sig självt.En: Lukas congratulated her, and his recognition felt almost like a victory in itself.Sv: När hon lämnade skolan den dagen kände sig Elin starkare.En: As she left school that day, Elin felt stronger.Sv: Hon insåg att det inte bara handlade om att vinna utan om att våga försöka och att lära sig av sina misstag.En: She realized it wasn't just about winning but about daring to try and learning from her mistakes.Sv: Och framför allt insåg hon vikten av vänskap och samarbete.En: And above all, she realized the importance of friendship and collaboration.Sv: Snön knarrade under hennes fötter när hon gick hem.En: The snow crunched under her feet as she walked home.Sv: Hjärtat var varmt av glädje, precis som värmen inne i skolans gymnastiksal.En: Her heart was warm with joy, just like the warmth inside the school's gymnastiksal.

reassuringly.Nl: Eindelijk stonden ze stil bij het project van Sander en Marieke.En: Finally, they stopped at Sander and Marieke's project.Nl: De voorzitter van de jury, een oude professor met een

is bijzonder," zei hij en vulde iets in op zijn formulier.En: "This is remarkable," he said, jotting something down on his form.Nl: Sander en Marieke keken elkaar ongelovig aan toen ze hoorden dat ze de eerste prijs hadden gewonnen.En: Sander and Marieke looked at each other incredulously when they heard they had won first prize.Nl: Hun project kreeg lof voor de creativiteit en het praktische nut.En: Their project was praised for its creativity and practical usefulness.Nl: Sander slaakte een vreugdekreet en omhelsde Marieke, die nu breed glimlachte.En: Sander let out a shout of joy and embraced Marieke, who was now smiling broadly.Nl: Op de late middag, terwijl de zon langzaam zakte en hun schaduwen over het strand wierp, zaten Sander en Marieke op een bankje aan de boulevard.En: In the late afternoon, as the sun slowly set and cast their shadows over the beach, Sander and Marieke sat on a bench on the boulevard.Nl: "Creativiteit is belangrijk," zei Sander, "maar ik zie nu ook dat plannen en organiseren net zo cruciaal zijn."En: "Creativity is important," said Sander, "but now I also see that planning and organizing are just as crucial."Nl: Marieke knikte.En: Marieke nodded.Nl: "En een beetje risico nemen kan ook goed uitpakken," voegde ze eraan toe.En: "And taking a little risk can turn out well too," she added.Nl: Beide vrienden keken uit over de zee, vol hoop en enthousiasme voor wat komen gaat.En: Both friends looked out over the sea, full of hope and enthusiasm for what was to come.Nl: In de kou van de winter hadden ze niet alleen een competitie gewonnen, maar ook hun wederzijdse respect en waardering voor elkaars kwaliteiten verdiept.En: In the winter cold, they had not only won a competition but had also deepened their mutual respect and appreciation for each other's qualities.
