Internationalizing your product There are many aspects of product growth — reaching new heights for peak volume, reaching new levels of sustained daily volume, growing your feature set and the complexity of your code based, and many others. Dealing with growth in an intelligent and forward-looking way is never easy, but this month we deal with a type of growth that presents its own unique set of challenges: international growth, i.e. expanding the range of countries and languages your products are natively available in. This month, we talked with multiple members of the internationalization effort here at Klaviyo, from teams across our organization. You'll hear about: How strings can be far more complex than they seem Why changing languages doesn't just mean changing words Where in the world your assumptions about language may break For the full show notes, including who's who, see the Medium writeup.

In this episode I'm joined by cognitive neuroscientist and clinical psychologist Dr Heather Berlin. Dr Heather Berlin is a neuroscientist and licensed clinical psychologist. She is an Associate Clinical Professor of Psychiatry and Neuroscience at Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai in New York City noted for her work in science communication and science outreach. Her research focuses on brain-behavior relationships affecting the prevention and treatment of impulsive and compulsive psychiatric disorders. She is also interested in the neural basis of consciousness, dynamic unconscious processes,and creativity. She is host of the PBS Nova series Your Brain, the PBS series Science Goes to the Movies, the Discovery Channel series Superhuman Showdown and StarTalk All-Stars with Neil DeGrasse Tyson. In this episode, we explore how cognitive neuroscience helps give us a better understanding of the brain. Expect to learn what consciousness is, plus we ask if the brain similar to a computer and the consciousness its software program? We learn the difference between neurological and psychiatric disorders and the importance of studying disorders and dysfunction when it comes to understanding how the brain works. We explore novel treatments for depression such as psychedelics and deep brain stimulation. Expect to find out about how neuroplasticity isnt just limited to our childhood and that we can continue to change our brains for as long as we live. And we find out where that voice in your head is really coming from. More Happy Habit Podcast episodes at : https://anchor.fm/mathieu-norry

It started with Darwin and it's fair to say science hasn't made much progress since then. Lately it seems, the "ists" of science are cycling back again to parse between cognitive and emotional awareness of Animals via anecdotes and anthropomorphism. Only the universal language of Energy will get them anywhere and everywhere they want to go and truth be told, it's the deceptive simplicity of that the "ists" reject. https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/-isthttps://www.vedantu.com/biology/ethologyhttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anecdotal_cognitivismhttps://www.nytimes.com/2022/09/04/science/brain-language-research.htmlhttps://www.smithsonianmag.com/science-nature/new-science-ancient-bond-with-dogs-180976226/https://fcmconference.org/img/CambridgeDeclarationOnConsciousness.pdf Email me at lizanne@lizanneflynn.com.

Half Breed pets of the Gods! Everybody knows what a hybrid is but do you know the name chimera? People can call them halflings and there are those that call them hybrids. I personally would call them messing with nature and the gods playing with science to the point they create little monsters. They were toys for the gods back then and they're throwing them in your face again today. Let's discuss the world of the chimeras. We will go back as far as Greek mythology we're quite possibly the centaur or Pan the half man half goat may not have been just mythology. Let's dig brainiacs! It's go time.

There are massive telescopes that look far out into the cosmos, giant particle accelerators looking for ever tinier signals, gargantuan gravitational wave detectors that span kilometers of Earth—what about soil science? Where's the big science project on deep soil? It's coming soon. Staff Writer Erik Stokstad talks with host Sarah Crespi about plans for a new subsoil observatory to take us beyond topsoil. Wood is in some ways an ideal building material. You can grow it out of the ground. It's not very heavy. It's strong. But materials like metal and plastic have one up on wood in terms of flexibility. Plastic and metal can be melted and molded into complicated shapes. Could wood ever do this? Liangbing Hu, a professor in the department of materials science and engineering and director of the Center for Materials Innovation at the University of Maryland, College Park, talked with Sarah about making moldable wood in a new way. In a sponsored segment from Science/AAAS Custom Publishing Office, Sean Sanders, director and senior editor for the Custom Publishing office, interviews Michael Brehm, associate professor at UMass Chan Medical School Diabetes Center of Excellence, about how he is using humanized mouse models to study ways to modulate the body's immune system as a pathway to treating type 1 diabetes.

We all hear about "Big Pharma," (highly regulated by the FDA) but most of us seldom hear about the "Big Supplements" business, largely unregulated for safety and product efficacy, dosage, and purity. Congress has not given FDA the mandate or the staffing to go after the many fraudulent and/or dangerous products put out by a number of supplements companies who not only get many of us to waste our $$, but who often expose some of us to hazards. --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/don-paul/support

Going online has its perks - we've got a wealth of information at our fingertips - but with so much information it can be hard to find the truth. Often we can't find the signal for the noise because well, it is just really noisy. And by noisy, I mean there is a lot of bad information out there.In today's episode, we're going to be looking specifically at science journalism, but really most of what we're going to be talking about can be applied to everything that we read online. We want to be getting the best information and so we've got to be cautious about our sources. So we're going to be looking at ways that research can be manipulated to support a flimsy claim, why we've got to go beyond reading the headlines and what to watch out for when we are reading those articles.Find Today's Show Notes at HackingYourADHD.com/badscienceToday's Top TipsWhile most scientist aren't trying to create bad science, lack of funding and time can make many studies suspect. To help validate claims, read into the study methodology and see what other research supports those claims.Make sure that you are reading beyond just headlines. Many over zealous reporters will embellish headlines to garner more clicks.Watch for words like "proved" about science. Science doesn't prove anything, it just creates evidence that supports a claim or refutes it.Be skeptical of claims that seem to good to be true, they usually are.

Growing up, Thanksgivings in Jennet Conant’s house were contentious. The Vietnam War was raging, and in Cambridge, MA, student protests were ubiquitous. But Conant’s family was especially combative. Her grandfather, James B. Conant, a former president of Harvard University, had both supervised the production of poison gas during World War I, and oversaw the development of the atomic bomb during World War II. And Conant’s father argued her grandfather wasn’t a scientist who had served his country, but a mass murderer. Jennet Conant is the author of a new biography of her grandfather, “Man of the Hour: James B. Conant, Warrior Scientist,” as well other books about war, science, and the intersection of the two. She explains what happens when people use science to create weapons - and the fallout for the scientists themselves.

In Episode 23 of Hidden Forces, host Demetri Kofinas speaks with Dr. Heather Berlin about the neural basis of consciousness. The two consider a theory of mind based on a materialist perspective on reality. Materialism is a form of philosophical monism which holds that matter is the fundamental substance in nature, and that all things, including mental aspects and consciousness, are results of material interactions. If this is the case, then where do our thoughts and our feelings, come from? Who is in charge of our volitions and our desires? What is the neural basis of depression, anxiety, and psychosis? What is the substantive source of human creativity, inspiration, and genius? Is there really nothing more to the experience of consciousness – to life itself – than the observable firing of billions of neurons jumbled together in an atomic stew consisting almost entirely of empty space? Dr. Heather Berlin is a cognitive neuroscientist and Assistant Professor of Psychiatry at the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai. Dr. Berlin practices clinical neuropsychology at New York Presbyterian Hospital. She is the host of the PBS series Science Goes to the Movies, and the Discovery Channel series Superhuman Showdown. Heather Berlin co-wrote and stars in the critically acclaimed off-Broadway and Edinburgh Fringe Festival show, Off the Top, about the neuroscience of improvisation. She has made numerous media appearances including on the BBC, History Channel, Netflix, NatGeo, StarTalk, and TEDx. Heather Berlin received her Ph.D. from the University of Oxford and Master of Public Health from Harvard University.

Host: Chris Mooney We usually record Point of Inquiry at a distance. Over the phone. Skyping. But for this show, I packed up my gear and hailed a cab—to the Center for Inquiry's brand new Office of Public Policy in downtown, Washington, D.C. The Center for Inquiry is here to literally make this country listen to reason... and science. It's a sensibility that is simply in far too short of a supply in this town. So I sat down with Ronald A. Lindsay, CFI's president, and Michael De Dora, head of the Office of Public Policy, to talk about their plans to make our legislators and leaders just a little more rational and science based. Ronald A. Lindsay is president and CEO of the Center for Inquiry and its affiliates, the Council for Secular Humanism and the Committee for Skeptical Inquiry. He has led the organization since 2008. Michael De Dora is director of the Center for Inquiry Office of Public Policy and its representative to the United Nations.
