    In this week's episode, both of our storytellers are pushed out of their comfort zones—and challenged to see the world through someone else's eyes.Part 1: As someone who always likes to play it safe, psychologist Kenneth Carter sets out to understand what makes thrill-seekers tick. Part 2: Philosophy professor Rob Reich is frustrated that so many new Stanford students are headed straight into computer science. Dr. Kenneth Carter is the Charles Howard Candler Professor of Psychology at Oxford College of Emory University and the founding director of the Emory University Center for Public Scholarship and Engagement.

His articles have been published in magazines such as Psychology Today and Women's Health, and he has appeared on news programs such as CNN Tonight, NPR's: ShortWave, All Things Considered, and NBC's Today show. The psychology of thrill-seeking is the current focus of Dr. Carter's research. He has delivered TEDx talk on thrill-seekers and is the host of Mind of a Motorhead an NBC Sports web series that examines the personalities of motorsport athletes. His most recent book is Buzz!: Inside the Minds of Thrill-Seekers, Daredevils, and Adrenaline Junkies (Cambridge University Press). When not teaching, speaking, or writing, Dr. Carter prefers reading and relaxing on the beach rather than wingsuit flying or BASE jumping.

    The host argues that the entire "Russia collusion" narrative was a fabrication, with fabricated evidence and data created by federal contractors hired by Hillary Clinton's campaign. The host claims that these lies were used as a pretext for war and to justify devastating sanctions on Russia's energy sector, which were signed by Donald Trump despite his knowledge of the hoax. This is why, according to the host, a historic and high-stakes meeting between Donald Trump and Vladimir Putin is taking place in Alaska, where the two leaders—whom the host calls the "biggest victims of the deep state"—can speak freely without fear of surveillance or leaks. The host details the economic consequences of the sanctions, arguing they crippled Russia's economy while providing cheap energy to China, a move they link to the previous administration's ties to China. The host suggests that the summit is a trade and financial negotiation aimed at ending these sanctions and creating a new economic partnership. The host acknowledges that Putin has gone too far in the conflict but believes the President is pressuring him to de-escalate and hold his fire against future provocations. The host concludes by stating that Putin's decision to travel to U.S. soil is an incredible test of whether the President has enough control over the deep state to ensure his safety

    In this episode of The Science of Flipping, I share powerful insights from a panel I recently joined at the IMN conference, where we tackled one of the hottest topics in the industry right now: AI in real estate. From hedge fund managers to mom-and-pop investors, everyone's asking the same thing—will AI take over our space? My answer: no, but it will play a massive role. I break down the areas where AI is helping (like underwriting and tenant screening), and the places where it simply can't replace human judgment—like negotiation, construction, and title. I also share a personal story about buying my home that underscores why human interaction will always matter. If you're a real estate pro, this episode is your wake-up call to use AI as a tool—not a replacement.   --   Looking to hire smarter?ZipRecruiter uses powerful technology to match you with top talent fast — no more sifting through a stack of weak resumes.4 out of 5 employers who post on ZipRecruiter get a quality candidate within the first day.

    There's a tapping practice shown to ease stress, balance emotions, and support healing. We explore the science behind Emotional Freedom Technique, or EFT.Summary: Emerging research shows that a body-tapping technique called Emotional Freedom Technique, or EFT, can help calm the nervous system, improve emotional awareness, and support healing from trauma. In this episode of The Science of Happiness, we follow illustrator Minnie Phan's journey of using this evidence-based practice to connect with herself, care for her mental health, and create from a place of resilience.How To Do This Practice:  Identify the issue: Choose one specific feeling, thought, or physical sensation that's bothering you, such as stress, sadness, or tension in your body. Rate the intensity: On a scale of 0 to 10 (with 10 being the most intense), rate how strongly you feel it right now. This will help you notice changes as you tap. Create your setup statement: Say a phrase that names your feeling and affirms self-acceptance, such as: "Even though I feel anxious, I fully and completely accept myself." Gently tap 5–7 times on each point: Side of hand, inner eyebrow above your nose, side of eye, under eye, under nose, chin, collarbone, under arm, and top of head. Repeat while tapping: As you tap each point, repeat a shortened reminder phrase (e.g., “I feel anxious” or “I accept myself”) while taking slow, steady breaths. Reassess and repeat if needed: Pause, take a breath, and rate your intensity again. Continue another round or two until you notice a shift toward more calm or ease.

    Born out of a cultural moment of growing distrust in science, BioLogos' Science is Good initiative explores how Christians can be a voice for the goodness of science. The episode connects the three parables of Matthew 25—about wisdom, stewardship, and mercy—with the work of three scientists whose careers exemplify these virtues. Epidemiologist Emily Smith shares how data-driven health work among the global poor reveals a form of wisdom that prepares for the needs of the most vulnerable. Se Kim, a science policy expert, reflects on the gift of scientific aptitude and the importance of investing in people and communities often left out of the scientific enterprise. And Francis Collins tells the story of hepatitis C, a curable disease still claiming lives, and how mercy means doing whatever it takes to bring healing to the “least of these.” Throughout, pastor Jason Miller offers insight into how Jesus' parables can still form our character—even in our attitudes toward science.  Together, their stories serve as a faithful answer to the call: Science is good—and we are invited to live in the light of that truth.

    US Health Secretary RFK Jr's call to retract a study on childhood vaccines is resisted by the journal. Also antibiotics get designed by AI, and a new way for stars to die. A study focussing on Danish childhood vaccination data has attracted the US Secretary for Health's anger, as RFK jr calls for the journal in which it was published, the Annals of Internal Medicine, to retract it. The Editor, Christine Laine, talk to Science in Action about the strengths and challenges of observational studies. The cuts to prestigious US federal science funded research continue, as last week it was announced that $500 million funding for future mRNA vaccines would be withdrawn. Barney Graham, one of the pioneers in the field and prominent during the Covid vaccines, argues that the research will still happen, though maybe not in the US, as mRNA has become a fundamental area of global research. Meanwhile, strides are being made in the field of synthetic biology as Jim Collins and colleagues at MIT and Harvard have used AI to design potentially viable antibiotics for two important drug-resistant superbugs. Previously, AI has been used to comb through libraries of known antibiotics. This study has gone a step further, and used generative AI to design new ones, that can then be synthesised using real chemicals. Though a long way from being prescribable drugs, the team think this could herald a new golden age of antibiotic development – something which has been lacking in recent decades. Finally, it seems astronomers may have discovered a new way for a star to die, sort of. Supernova 2023zkd was seen to explode back in 2023, found by a team looking for odd events. It didn't seem quite like normal supernovae, in that it took a bit longer to die down. Then the team looked back, and noticed that it had also been getting slowly brighter for almost a year. At 730 million light years away, in a galaxy far, far away, it also seemed to have been stripped of all its hydrogen and even stranger yet, appeared to have exploded twice. As Ashley Villar of the Harvard Smithsonian Center for Astrophysics explains, the almost unique observation fits with a model of the huge star getting closer to a black hole, the gravity of which may have disrupted the star enough to cause it to explode.

    Here at MinistryWatch we measure a lot of things. We measure financial efficiency. Simply explained, that's the amount of money that goes to ministry vs. the amount of money. We grade ministries based on their transparency. Our Donor Confidence Score takes into account more than a dozen factors before providing an overall score designed to help you decide whether to give to a ministry or not. One of the most vexing problems we face in the work we do is the problem of measuring ministry effectiveness. We can measure how much money goes to an evangelistic effort, but how do you really measure true conversions. You can count decision cards, or hands raised, or baptisms, but how do you measure love, joy, and peace? If you give money to a child sponsorship program, you get a photo of the little boy or girl, but do you really know what happened to him or her? At age 20 or 25 or 30, is that little girl you prayed for and donated money for…is she OK? Is she following Jesus? Most ministries, even very good ones, struggle with these sorts of measurements. My guest today, Nathan Mayo, doesn't have all the answers, but Nathan and the group he helps lead, True Charity, has been asking these tough questions for years, and he has some interesting things to say on the subject. If you've been around MinistryWatch for a while, you know that I'm a big fan of True Charity. It's founder James Whitford, has been a guest on the program, and we've quoted him and others from True Charity in many of our stories. That's why I'm excited to have Nathan Mayo on the program today. Nathan earned his Bachelor of Science in Economics from the U.S. Military Academy at West Point. Upon completion of his military service as a Captain, Nathan and his wife, Abigail, spent two years in Haiti building up a network of Haitian-run churches and schools before moving to Missouri to join True Charity in 2020. Nathan is inspired by solving challenging problems with data and translating the insights of experts into applications for practitioners. The producer for today's program is Jeff McIntosh. Until next time, may God bless you.
