Turpinām iepazīt Latvijas dabu, šoreiz saruna par kādiem īpaši aizsargātiem nakts dzīvniekiem, bez kuriem nav iedomājami vecu māju pagrabi vai bēniņi - sikspārņiem. Šie neparastie dzīvnieki gan burtiskā, gan pārnestā nozīmē dzīvo kājām gaisā - tie pasauli sadzird nevis saredz un par savu ērtāko un komfortāko vidi uzskata tās vietas, no kurām cilvēks labprātāk vairās - tumšus pagrabus, alas, bēniņus un pamestas ēkas. Kā Latvijā klājas sikspārņu sugām, kura ir Latvijas sikspārņu galvaspilsēta un ko zinām par sikspārņiem piemītošo prasmi - eholokāciju? Raidījumā Zināmais nezināmajā iepazīstina Latvijas Universitātes Bioloģijas institūra pētnieks, sikspārņu pētnieks Viesturs Vintulis un ihtiologs Ivars Putnis.   Raidījuma noslēgumā zinātnes ziņas Pirmdienas tiešām ir nogurdinošākas smadzenēm un ķermenim. Ne viens vien cilvēks, sākot jaunu darba nedēļu pirmdienā, būs nodomājis, cik pirmdienas ir grūtas dienas. Gadu desmitiem lietots arī apzīmējums “pirmdienas nomāktība” jeb angļu valodā “Monday blues”, kas kopumā raksturojis smagnēju sajūtu katras jaunas darba nedēļas sākumā. Bet par to visu iespējams runāt arī no medicīnas un psiholoģijas skatpunkta, un par to raksta “Scientific American”.

Welcome to Ozempic Weightloss Unlocked, your source for the latest news, research, and insights on Ozempic and its impact on weight loss, health, and lifestyle.If you are following updates on Ozempic, recent international studies are shedding a spotlight on why so many are both drawn to and dropping away from this buzzy medication. According to reports from HealthDay and Drugs.com, about half of the adults who start Ozempic for weight loss end up quitting within just one year. For context, a study out of Denmark tracked more than seventy-seven thousand new Ozempic users and found that fifty-two percent gave it up before the year's end. These findings were presented at this year's European Association for the Study of Diabetes meeting in Vienna.So, why are so many discontinuing Ozempic? One major reason is cost. In Denmark, the lowest possible annual dose is over two thousand euros. In the United States, prices can jump to more than one thousand four hundred dollars monthly if uninsured. People in lower-income areas were nearly fifteen percent more likely to quit early. For many, the price tag is simply not sustainable long-term.Side effects are another factor. Drugs.com highlights that those with gastrointestinal conditions, chronic illnesses, or who are taking psychiatric medication are more likely to stop using Ozempic. The Danish study found that people with existing GI issues were nine percent more likely to quit, and those with heart disease or other chronic conditions were ten percent more likely to stop. Furthermore, common side effects like nausea, vomiting, and diarrhea disproportionately drive users to discontinue.Age and gender play a role too. Younger adults were forty-eight percent more likely to stop Ozempic within the first year compared to older users. Men had a twelve percent greater likelihood than women to quit. The study authors note that women tend to see slightly better weight loss results, which might help motivate their continued use.One important medical application is for people living with diabetes. Originally, Ozempic and similar drugs were developed to help manage blood sugar. However, they've gained popularity strictly for weight loss, and over ninety percent of new prescriptions in some studies are written for those without diabetes.Another recent clinical trial, reported by TheJournal.ie, looked at bumping up the standard dose to see if results improve. By tripling the weekly dosage to seven-point-two milligrams, nearly half of trial participants lost at least twenty percent of their body weight. But remember, higher doses may also lead to more side effects and costs.For younger women who are considering Ozempic, caution is warranted. According to researchers at Flinders University, there are hidden reproductive risks for women in their childbearing years. The Medical Journal of Australia reports that most women prescribed Ozempic are not using effective contraception, even though these medications can pose risks during pregnancy and fetal development. Only twenty-one percent of women on Ozempic were using contraception in one large study of more than one-point-six million general practice records. Notably, women with polycystic ovary syndrome were twice as likely to conceive after starting Ozempic, possibly because weight loss can improve fertility. Lead researcher Associate Professor Luke Grzeskowiak states the need for proper counseling on reproductive risks for women starting these drugs.A final point from ScienceDaily is that stopping Ozempic often leads to regaining weight. Because the drug works by curbing appetite and promoting the feeling of fullness, these benefits disappear once you stop. For most, it is not a quick fix but a long-term commitment.As awareness rises, so does the number of questions around cost, access, side effect management, and the balance of risks and benefits. Whether you are considering Ozempic, currently taking it, or simply curious about its role in the future of weight management, keeping up with peer-reviewed research and evolving guidelines from health agencies is crucial.Thank you for tuning in to Ozempic Weightloss Unlocked.

We know employers want creative thinkers. We know creative thinking is necessary to solve the problems we see everywhere in our world. We know we want our students to learn to be more creative.  But what does that mean exactly? Where does the science of creativity meet the cultural definition we all build for ourselves just by swimming in the 21st century stream? My guest today is Dr. Zorana Ivcevic Pringle. Let me share her bio with you: "With more than 25 years as a scientist studying creativity, Zorana brings insights into the nature of the creative process, from the first decision to engage with new ideas to its culmination in creative performances and products. She is a scientist at Yale University, author, and speaker. Zorana's work has been featured in the Harvard Business Review, ArtNet, US News, Education Week, Science Daily, El Pais, and others, and she is a regular contributor to Psychology Today and Creativity Post.” Today, we're talking about how science defines creativity, and how research shows us we can guide our students - and ourselves - to develop more creative confidence. You'll learn what's important in designing your space, launching and building creative units,  speaking with students about the hurdles that get in their path, and assessing creative work in a way that's meaningful for student development along the way, not just at the end. Honestly, I started Zorana's book, The Creativity Choice, searching for everything I could find to help me understand classroom creativity better. But I finished with fresh ideas not only for constructing curriculum and classroom spaces, but also for how I tackle projects, run my company, and talk to my own children about their ideas.

Welcome to Ozempic Weightloss Unlocked, where we break down the latest science, headlines, and real world experiences around semaglutide, known by many as Ozempic and Wegovy.Here is what is new. Medical News Today reports on a fresh Cell Metabolism study in mice suggesting lean mass loss with Ozempic may be smaller than feared, about ten percent of lean mass during weight loss, with much of the change coming from organs like the liver rather than skeletal muscle. Researchers also noted some muscles maintained size while strength could still dip, underscoring the need for human trials to clarify muscle function during treatment. That is according to Medical News Today and University of Utah Health coverage of the same research.University of Utah Health explains that the liver in mice shrank by nearly half during weight loss, which can be part of healthy metabolic improvement, and that some reduction in skeletal muscle may reflect a return to baseline as body fat drops. Their message is clear. We need rigorous human studies to confirm how size and strength change in different muscles and what training and protein strategies best protect function during treatment.What about long term weight outcomes in the real world. A new analysis in the journal Advances in Therapy shows that around half of patients on semaglutide 2.4 milligrams achieved at least twenty percent weight loss at 18 to 24 months, pointing to meaningful, sustained results for many patients outside trials. That is according to Springer Nature's publication of the real world study.Stopping medication remains a pivotal issue. ScienceDaily reports on a meta analysis in BMC Medicine across 11 trials showing weight regain commonly begins about eight weeks after stopping anti obesity medications, including glucagon like peptide one drugs, and continues for several months before leveling off. The extent of regain varies by drug and by lifestyle consistency, but the pattern is widespread. One tirzepatide study found participants regained nearly half of the lost weight after switching to placebo. This highlights the importance of long term plans, whether continued medication, step down dosing, or robust nutrition, activity, sleep, and support.The pipeline is active. Fierce Biotech reports Eli Lilly's oral glucagon like peptide one candidate orforglipron achieved about twelve percent average weight loss in phase three, less than injectable rivals but with the convenience of a pill. Meanwhile, new semaglutide dosing research from Novo Nordisk's program suggests higher weekly doses like seven point two milligrams can approach or surpass twenty percent average loss at 72 weeks, adding competitive pressure and new options if approved. These developments matter for access, costs, and matching the right person to the right therapy.Beyond weight, McGill University highlights growing evidence that glucagon like peptide one medicines may also help conditions like heart and kidney disease, fatty liver disease, sleep apnea, osteoarthritis, and even addiction. Their review in eClinicalMedicine stresses both promise and open questions, including long term safety signals like gallbladder disease, mood effects, and vision risks, plus the realities of cost and access.Here are practical takeaways for listeners. First, combine medication with protein forward eating and resistance training to protect strength while losing fat. Second, plan for maintenance early, since weight regain after stopping is common. Third, talk with a clinician about the full cardiometabolic picture, including blood sugar, cholesterol, blood pressure, and fatty liver markers. Fourth, keep an eye on emerging options, including oral therapies and dose optimization, which may broaden choices.That is it for today on Ozempic Weightloss Unlocked.

Ozempic, a medication initially approved for managing type two diabetes, continues to be at the forefront of conversations about medical weight loss, especially given the significant news and research developments of the past week. The drug, which contains the active ingredient semaglutide, works by mimicking a hormone called glucagon-like peptide one and has shown effectiveness for weight management by helping to regulate blood sugar and suppress appetite. According to a recent report from Science Daily, three new studies presented at a major neurology meeting this week reveal that Ozempic may also have substantial brain-protective effects, notably reducing deaths from stroke and enhancing patient recovery. In one of these studies, researchers found that stroke patients using Ozempic had markedly lower mortality rates—5 percent for Ozempic users versus over 21 percent for nonusers. The findings have led medical experts to suggest that Ozempic could eventually have a broader role in preventing and mitigating the long-term consequences of stroke, illustrating how the drug's benefits may stretch beyond weight and diabetes management.However, the newfound prominence of Ozempic has also led to more critical scrutiny regarding its safety and long-term effects. A study highlighted by ABC News and KGUN9 in the last week warns that while GLP one agonists like Ozempic help to lower weight and may even protect the heart, they might also contribute to loss of lean muscle mass. Muscle is essential for overall health, physical function, and longevity, so losing it could theoretically raise the risk of heart issues and even early death. Experts are urging patients who use Ozempic or similar drugs to combine them with regular exercise and a protein-rich diet to help counteract muscle loss. Additionally, there is growing legal scrutiny over whether Ozempic's manufacturer gave adequate warnings about the risk of side effects such as gastroparesis, a condition where the stomach slows down digestion too much. Lawsuits are now in progress, focusing on claims that patients were not properly informed about these potential risks. As the popularity and demand for Ozempic increase, some users and doctors are also turning their attention to unregulated GLP one branded supplements, but experts at the Harvard Chan School of Public Health emphasize these supplements do not offer the same clinical benefits and can be potentially unsafe due to a lack of oversight.On the cultural front, Oprah Winfrey's recent candid discussions about her own experience using weight loss medications have made waves this week. In an interview and via social media posts, Winfrey directly addressed the stigma and shame associated with both obesity and the use of medications like Ozempic and Wegovy. She shared her personal struggle with the idea that taking medication is “the easy way out,” but explained that after coming to terms with the scientific evidence supporting these drugs, she is now "absolutely done with the shaming." Oprah emphasized that these medications have given her a sense of control over weight in a way that was never previously possible, and she advocated for shifting public conversations from blame and guilt to compassion and science. However, she also publicly apologized for her role in perpetuating harmful diet culture, acknowledging the need to move away from cycles of restriction and self-judgment. Instead, Winfrey encouraged listeners to approach weight and wellness as multifaceted issues that require medical, psychological, and social understanding.Ozempic's fast-evolving story, with its promise for weight management, potential for new medical benefits, concerns over side effects, and rising influence in wider cultural discussions, signals that the dialogue around weight loss is changing rapidly. The drug is being tested for other health conditions, including cardiovascular disease and even as a potential aid for people with alcohol use disorder or Alzheimer's, pointing to its wide-ranging medical implications. As new data and testimonials like Oprah's reach the public, experts, and patients alike are becoming more aware of both the promise and the complexity of using Ozempic for long-term health.Thanks for listening, please subscribe, and remember—this episode was brought to you by Quiet Please podcast networks.

Welcome to Ozempic Weightloss Unlocked, your source for the latest insights on Ozempic—from medical updates to its real-world impact on health and lifestyle.Ozempic, also known as semaglutide, was originally designed to help manage type 2 diabetes, but it has quickly become a leading medication for weight loss. Clinical studies highlighted by Medical News Today and Drugs.com have shown that people using Ozempic can lose between 10 and 17 percent of their body weight over about 68 weeks, with results varying based on dosage and individual response. Some individuals have reported losing as much as 30 pounds in just six months, while also seeing significant improvements in blood sugar levels, such as A1C reductions from 8.5 to 6.2, according to user reviews.But what sets Ozempic apart from other medications like metformin? While both can have modest effects on body weight, Ozempic generally leads to more substantial results. According to Drugs.com, participants in trials with Ozempic and lifestyle changes lost an average of nearly 15 to 17 percent of their weight, far exceeding the modest results commonly seen with metformin.The mechanism is fascinating—Ozempic works by imitating a hormone called GLP-1, reducing appetite and slowing digestion. Yet with such rapid and notable weight loss comes important questions about long-term health. A new study from the University of Virginia, as reported by Science Daily, warns that while GLP-1 drugs like Ozempic deliver dramatic fat loss, they do not appear to improve crucial measures of cardiorespiratory fitness. Moreover, muscle loss is a real concern. Researchers have documented reductions in lean mass when using Ozempic for substantial weight loss, which could impact strength, posture, and even risk of heart problems. To counter this, doctors increasingly recommend combining Ozempic with exercise and a protein-rich diet to help maintain muscle and overall health.With these dramatic results, it's not surprising that Ozempic and similar GLP-1 drugs are making waves far outside strictly medical circles. Weight loss clinics nationwide are rethinking their programs to include these medications, as South County Medspa and Wellness notes, allowing many patients to expect a 10 to 15 percent reduction in body weight over several months. However, these treatments do not come cheap—monthly costs can reach several hundred dollars, leading to high rates of discontinuation as users stop due to expense or side effects, which can include nausea and digestive issues.And what happens if you stop Ozempic? As Professor Patricia Brubaker explains for McGill University, stopping the medication often results in some weight regain—a typical rebound of about 12 percent of what was lost—but most people still hold on to some of their original weight loss a year later. It's not quite the dreaded "yo-yo" effect, but it does highlight the importance of ongoing therapy or lifestyle modification for lasting results.In the realm of new developments, tirzepatide, branded as Zepbound, stands out as the only FDA-approved medication demonstrating even greater weight loss, with some participants losing up to 22 percent of their body weight. Meanwhile, the rise of so-called GLP-1 supplements online is causing concern among Harvard experts. According to Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health, these over-the-counter products are not regulated or proven effective, so listeners should approach them with skepticism.As the science evolves and new studies emerge almost weekly, there is a growing recognition among experts: medications like Ozempic can be powerful tools for weight loss, but to truly unlock healthier living, they should be paired with exercise, nutrition, and long-term, individualized care.Thank you for tuning in to Ozempic Weightloss Unlocked.

Real Life This week, Steven finally found a superhero movie that didn't make him want to throw his popcorn at the screen. Superman (2025) has arrived, and according to him, it's the best take we've had on the character in years. No origin story nonsense, just straight into Supes doing good and being good. James Gunn gets it—Superman is an immigrant, a boy scout, and a damn firefighter (not a cop). The moral core is there, the cape looks good, and apparently, if you hate it, it's because it's “woke”? Whatever. Steven liked it. You probably will too. Meanwhile, Devon has been dodging storms, not floods. He lives far from the Texas chaos but has had his fair share of wet weekends. That hasn't stopped him from grinding away at backyard renovations. Fake grass is coming soon. In the process, he's tearing out ivy and ground brush—bad news for copperhead snakes, which are venomous, and good news for anyone walking around barefoot. Speaking of venom: Ben brings us the delightful fact that some birds are venomous. No, really. There are birds that store toxins from insects and plants and use them to defend themselves. The pitohui says hi. Nature is weird. More bird venom facts here. Devon also dove into evolution this week, thanks to a Hank Green video about the great leap from water to land. Turns out the hardest problem evolution ever solved might just be how to turn gilled swimmers into four-limbed land mammals. Spoiler alert: it involves lungs, fins, and a lot of time. Watch the video here. Ben, when not thinking about venomous birds, asked an important question: What do people do for fun in Palmdale? The answer, apparently, is “hang out near electrical poles.” He also recommends the board game The Red Dragon Inn for those nights when you're too tired to fight dragons and just want to drink with them instead. Game info here. Future or Now Only Steven showed up for this segment, and he brought ancient lion maulings. A new article from ScienceDaily describes a skeleton found in a Roman cemetery in York—with bite marks matching a lion's jaw. It's our first archaeological evidence of gladiator-style combat between a human and a lion, which is equal parts horrifying and fascinating. Steven points out that if curses were real, this would be prime material—digging up gladiator graves seems like an express ticket to ghost lion attacks. Book Club This week, we read The Last Question by Isaac Asimov, a story about entropy, immortality, the heat death of the universe, and one computer's ongoing existential crisis. Devon raises a solid point: the story's final punch line hits different if you grew up with the Judeo-Christian idea of divine creation. If not? It still works, but maybe not quite the same way. You could easily sub in other creation myths—or just throw in some Terminators and call it a sci-fi remix. Ben had Siri read him the story aloud via Mobile Safari and recommends the experience. Read it here or watch this animated version. Next week: There Will Come Soft Rains by Ray Bradbury, a classic tale of loneliness, technology, and automatic breakfast machines still flipping eggs long after humanity is gone. You can read the story here or listen to a reading. Oh, and if you missed it, Captain Kirk is coming back—sort of. He's being resurrected for Star Trek: The Last Starship, a new comic set in the far future. We have thoughts. Mostly confused ones.

Iepazīstam kādu grāmatu, kas pievēršas mūsdienu vidējās paaudzes dzīves izaicinājumiem. 21. gadsimta demogrāfijā redzam vairāk pusmūža cilvēku nekā jebkad līdz šim. Tas rada veselu paaudzi cilvēku, kuriem par pienākumu uzlikts sniegt rūpes bērniem un vecākiem vienlaikus, būt aktīviem darba dzīvē ilgāk nekā jebkad iepriekš. Kādas sekas tas rada un ko par to saka cilvēkģeogrāfijas pētījumi, par to raidījumā Zināmais nezināmajā saruna ar socioloģi, migrācijas, mobilitātes un sociālās nevienlīdzības pētnieci, asociēto profesi Austrumsomijas universitātē un viesprofesori Rīgas Stradiņa universitātē Aiju Lulli.   Zinātnes ziņas Sirds slimību nāves gadījumi visā pasaulē saistīti ar ķīmiskām vielām, ko plaši izmanto plastmasā Ne reizi vien raidījumā esam runājuši par plastmasu, par mikroplastmasu un to, kā tā, iespējams, atstāj ietekmi uz cilvēka veselību. “Science Daily” raksta, ka sirds slimību nāves gadījumi visā pasaulē ir saistīti ar ftalātiem. Pagājušajā nedēļā publicēts pētnieku ziņojums uzrādījis, ka ikdienas saskare ar ftalātiem, kas tiek lietoti mājsaimniecības priekšmetu ražošanā, varētu būt saistīti ar 356 000 nāves gadījumu pasaulē sirds slimību dēļ, un šie ir konkrēti dati par 2018. gadu. Pētījumu vadījuši zinātnieki no Ņujorkas, ASV, un uzmanība īpaši pievērsta ftalāta veidam, kas padara pārtikas traukus, medicīnisko aprīkojumu un citu plastmasu mīkstāku, elastīgāku, un pētījumos pierādīts, ka ftalāta iedarbība izraisa pārmērīgu imūnreakciju (iekaisumu) sirds artērijās, kas laika gaitā ir saistīta ar paaugstinātu sirdslēkmes vai insulta risku. Pētījums liecina, ka mēs ne tikai dzirdam mūziku, bet gan “kļūstam par to” Kāds cits pētījums, piedaloties ASV un Kanādas zinātniekiem, liecina, ka mūsu smadzenes un ķermeņi ne tikai saprot mūziku, bet arī fiziski rezonē ar to. Šie atklājumi, kas balstīti neirozinātnes, mūzikas un psiholoģijas atklājumos, apstiprina neironu rezonanses teoriju (NRT). Saskaņā ar šo teoriju muzikālā pieredze rodas no smadzeņu dabiskajām svārstībām, kas sinhronizējas ar ritmu, melodiju un harmoniju. Šī rezonanse veido mūsu laika izjūtu, muzikālo baudu un instinktu kustēties līdzi ritmam. Tātad viss patiesi balstīts fizikā, fizioloģijā, ne tik daudz kādos mūsu paredzējumos, cerībās par to, kāda mūzika varētu būt. Kā veidot pilsētu, lai uzlabotu savu psihisko veselību saskaņā ar zinātni? Bet psihisko veselību iespējams uzlabot arī, pievēršot uzmanību pilsētplānošanai. Par to “Nacionālās ģeogrāfijas” tīmekļa vietnē ir vēstīts. Eksperti apgalvo, ka nelielas izmaiņas mūsu apkārtnē, piemēram, kur mēs sēžam, staigājam vai pulcējamies, var būtiski ietekmēt to, kā jūtamies. Aicina ziņot par gredzenotiem mājas strazdiem. Latvijas Universitātes Bioloģijas institūta Ornitoloģijas laboratorijas pētnieki veic pētījumu par Latvijas Ornitoloģijas biedrības izsludināto 2025. gada putnu – mājas strazdu. Tādēļ ir ļoti liels lūgums ziņot pētījuma vadītājam Oskaram Keišam (oskars.keiss@lu.lv, 29236300) par novērotiem mājas strazdiem ar gredzenu uz kājas.  Pētnieki būs ļoti pateicīgi par ikviena gredzenota putna ziņojumu un vēl pateicīgāki, ja māju īpašnieki atļaus putnu sagūstīt, noņemt datu uztvērēju (ģeolokatoru) un putnu atkal atlaist brīvībā.

This week in the studio, I'm joined by Dr. Nick Barringer—Army Ranger, performance nutrition expert, and one of the sharpest minds in military and metabolic health. Together, we cut through the noise around today's most controversial nutrition topics. If you've ever felt whiplash trying to make sense of conflicting headlines, this episode is your science-based compass.What's really going on with artificial sweeteners like sucralose and aspartame? Are seed oils toxic—or just misunderstood? And what's the actual science behind popular supplements like creatine, testosterone boosters and fat burners?Dr. Barringer brings two decades of elite military and research experience to help us separate hype from evidence—while sharing real-world tools that help people perform, think, and feel better.We cover:Whether sucralose and other artificial sweeteners damage DNA or gut healthWhat to actually worry about with food dyes Seed oils, inflammation, and what most people get wrong about themProtein and carb dosing for people over 40 (and how to think about fiber and fat)Why creatine is still the most underrated supplement for muscle and brain functionTactical hydration tips (and how sweat composition varies with diet)Hidden risks in testosterone boosters and “fat burners”Practical takeaways for elite performance, healthy aging, and being stronger at any ageWho is Dr. Nick Barringer?Nick Barringer, PhD, is a Nutritional Physiologist with deep experience in both applied and academic settings. He directed the U.S. Military-Baylor Graduate Program in Nutrition, taught at West Point, and was the first active-duty dietitian to graduate U.S. Army Ranger School and serve with the 75th Ranger Regiment.

Listen in as Real Science Radio host Fred Williams and co-host Doug McBurney review and update some of Bob Enyart's legendary list of not so old things! From Darwin's Finches to opals forming in months to man's genetic diversity in 200 generations, to carbon 14 everywhere it's not supposed to be (including in diamonds and dinosaur bones!), scientific observations simply defy the claim that the earth is billions of years old. Real science demands the dismissal of the alleged million and billion year ages asserted by the ungodly and the foolish.     * Finches Adapt in 17 Years, Not 2.3 Million: Charles Darwin's finches are claimed to have taken 2,300,000 years to diversify from an initial species blown onto the Galapagos Islands. Yet individuals from a single finch species on a U.S. Bird Reservation in the Pacific were introduced to a group of small islands 300 miles away and in at most 17 years, like Darwin's finches, they had diversified their beaks, related muscles, and behavior to fill various ecological niches. Hear about this also at rsr.org/spetner.  * Finches Speciate in Two Generations vs Two Million Years for Darwin's Birds?  Darwin's finches on the Galapagos Islands are said to have diversified into 14 species over a period of two million years. But in 2017 the journal Science reported a newcomer to the Island which within two generations spawned a reproductively isolated new species. In another instance as documented by Lee Spetner, a hundred birds of the same finch species introduced to an island cluster a 1,000 kilometers from Galapagos diversified into species with the typical variations in beak sizes, etc. "If this diversification occurred in less than seventeen years," Dr. Spetner asks, "why did Darwin's Galapagos finches [as claimed by evolutionists] have to take two million years?" * Opals Can Form in "A Few Months" And Don't Need 100,000 Years: A leading authority on opals, Allan W. Eckert, observed that, "scientific papers and textbooks have told that the process of opal formation requires tens of thousands of years, perhaps hundreds of thousands... Not true." A 2011 peer-reviewed paper in a geology journal from Australia, where almost all the world's opal is found, reported on the: "new timetable for opal formation involving weeks to a few months and not the hundreds of thousands of years envisaged by the conventional weathering model." (And apparently, per a 2019 report from Entomology Today, opals can even form around insects!) More knowledgeable scientists resist the uncritical, group-think insistence on false super-slow formation rates (as also for manganese nodules, gold veins, stone, petroleum, canyons and gullies, and even guts, all below). Regarding opals, Darwinian bias led geologists to long ignore possible quick action, as from microbes, as a possible explanation for these mineraloids. For both in nature and in the lab, opals form rapidly, not even in 10,000 years, but in weeks. See this also from creationists by a geologist, a paleobiochemist, and a nuclear chemist. * Blue Eyes Originated Not So Long Ago: Not a million years ago, nor a hundred thousand years ago, but based on a peer-reviewed paper in Human Genetics, a press release at Science Daily reports that, "research shows that people with blue eyes have a single, common ancestor. A team at the University of Copenhagen have tracked down a genetic mutation which took place 6-10,000 years ago and is the cause of the eye color of all blue-eyed humans alive on the planet today." * Adding the Entire Universe to our List of Not So Old Things? Based on March 2019 findings from Hubble, Nobel laureate Adam Riess of the Space Telescope Science Institute and his co-authors in the Astrophysical Journal estimate that the universe is about a billion years younger than previously thought! Then in September 2019 in the journal Science, the age dropped precipitously to as low as 11.4 billion years! Of course, these measurements also further squeeze the canonical story of the big bang chronology with its many already existing problems including the insufficient time to "evolve" distant mature galaxies, galaxy clusters, superclusters, enormous black holes, filaments, bubbles, walls, and other superstructures. So, even though the latest estimates are still absurdly too old (Google: big bang predictions, and click on the #1 ranked article, or just go on over there to rsr.org/bb), regardless, we thought we'd plop the whole universe down on our List of Not So Old Things!   * After the Soft Tissue Discoveries, NOW Dino DNA: When a North Carolina State University paleontologist took the Tyrannosaurus Rex photos to the right of original biological material, that led to the 2016 discovery of dinosaur DNA, So far researchers have also recovered dinosaur blood vessels, collagen, osteocytes, hemoglobin, red blood cells, and various proteins. As of May 2018, twenty-six scientific journals, including Nature, Science, PNAS, PLoS One, Bone, and Journal of Vertebrate Paleontology, have confirmed the discovery of biomaterial fossils from many dinosaurs! Organisms including T. Rex, hadrosaur, titanosaur, triceratops, Lufengosaur, mosasaur, and Archaeopteryx, and many others dated, allegedly, even hundreds of millions of years old, have yielded their endogenous, still-soft biological material. See the web's most complete listing of 100+ journal papers (screenshot, left) announcing these discoveries at bflist.rsr.org and see it in layman's terms at rsr.org/soft. * Rapid Stalactites, Stalagmites, Etc.: A construction worker in 1954 left a lemonade bottle in one of Australia's famous Jenolan Caves. By 2011 it had been naturally transformed into a stalagmite (below, right). Increasing scientific knowledge is arguing for rapid cave formation (see below, Nat'l Park Service shrinks Carlsbad Caverns formation estimates from 260M years, to 10M, to 2M, to it "depends"). Likewise, examples are growing of rapid formations with typical chemical make-up (see bottle, left) of classic stalactites and stalagmites including: - in Nat'l Geo the Carlsbad Caverns stalagmite that rapidly covered a bat - the tunnel stalagmites at Tennessee's Raccoon Mountain - hundreds of stalactites beneath the Lincoln Memorial - those near Gladfelter Hall at Philadelphia's Temple University (send photos to Bob@rsr.org) - hundreds of stalactites at Australia's zinc mine at Mt. Isa.   - and those beneath Melbourne's Shrine of Remembrance. * Most Human Mutations Arose in 200 Generations: From Adam until Real Science Radio, in only 200 generations! The journal Nature reports The Recent Origin of Most Human Protein-coding Variants. As summarized by geneticist co-author Joshua Akey, "Most of the mutations that we found arose in the last 200 generations or so" (the same number previously published by biblical creationists). Another 2012 paper, in the American Journal of Physical Anthropology (Eugenie Scott's own field) on High mitochondrial mutation rates, shows that one mitochondrial DNA mutation occurs every other generation, which, as creationists point out, indicates that mtEve would have lived about 200 generations ago. That's not so old! * National Geographic's Not-So-Old Hard-Rock Canyon at Mount St. Helens: As our List of Not So Old Things (this web page) reveals, by a kneejerk reaction evolutionary scientists assign ages of tens or hundreds of thousands of years (or at least just long enough to contradict Moses' chronology in Genesis.) However, with closer study, routinely, more and more old ages get revised downward to fit the world's growing scientific knowledge. So the trend is not that more information lengthens ages, but rather, as data replaces guesswork, ages tend to shrink until they are consistent with the young-earth biblical timeframe. Consistent with this observation, the May 2000 issue of National Geographic quotes the U.S. Forest Service's scientist at Mount St. Helens, Peter Frenzen, describing the canyon on the north side of the volcano. "You'd expect a hard-rock canyon to be thousands, even hundreds of thousands of years old. But this was cut in less than a decade." And as for the volcano itself, while again, the kneejerk reaction of old-earthers would be to claim that most geologic features are hundreds of thousands or millions of years old, the atheistic National Geographic magazine acknowledges from the evidence that Mount St. Helens, the volcanic mount, is only about 4,000 years old! See below and more at rsr.org/mount-st-helens. * Mount St. Helens Dome Ten Years Old not 1.7 Million: Geochron Laboratories of Cambridge, Mass., using potassium-argon and other radiometric techniques claims the rock sample they dated, from the volcano's dome, solidified somewhere between 340,000 and 2.8 million years ago. However photographic evidence and historical reports document the dome's formation during the 1980s, just ten years prior to the samples being collected. With the age of this rock known, radiometric dating therefore gets the age 99.99999% wrong. * Devils Hole Pupfish Isolated Not for 13,000 Years But for 100: Secular scientists default to knee-jerk, older-than-Bible-age dates. However, a tiny Mojave desert fish is having none of it. Rather than having been genetically isolated from other fish for 13,000 years (which would make this small school of fish older than the Earth itself), according to a paper in the journal Nature, actual measurements of mutation rates indicate that the genetic diversity of these Pupfish could have been generated in about 100 years, give or take a few. * Polystrates like Spines and Rare Schools of Fossilized Jellyfish: Previously, seven sedimentary layers in Wisconsin had been described as taking a million years to form. And because jellyfish have no skeleton, as Charles Darwin pointed out, it is rare to find them among fossils. But now, reported in the journal Geology, a school of jellyfish fossils have been found throughout those same seven layers. So, polystrate fossils that condense the time of strata deposition from eons to hours or months, include: - Jellyfish in central Wisconsin were not deposited and fossilized over a million years but during a single event quick enough to trap a whole school. (This fossil school, therefore, taken as a unit forms a polystrate fossil.) Examples are everywhere that falsify the claims of strata deposition over millions of years. - Countless trilobites buried in astounding three dimensionality around the world are meticulously recovered from limestone, much of which is claimed to have been deposited very slowly. Contrariwise, because these specimens were buried rapidly in quickly laid down sediments, they show no evidence of greater erosion on their upper parts as compared to their lower parts. - The delicacy of radiating spine polystrates, like tadpole and jellyfish fossils, especially clearly demonstrate the rapidity of such strata deposition. - A second school of jellyfish, even though they rarely fossilized, exists in another locale with jellyfish fossils in multiple layers, in Australia's Brockman Iron Formation, constraining there too the rate of strata deposition. By the way, jellyfish are an example of evolution's big squeeze. Like galaxies evolving too quickly,

"A study that was done in 2022, it looked at over 4,000 adults over a 26-year span, and it found that just a 5-gram increase in fiber led to a lot less inflammation in the body. And they measured inflammation by C-reactive protein, which you can ask your doctor about when you get your next blood test to measure your CRP, or C-reactive protein, to see how inflamed you are. And when you have lower inflammation, this also lowers your heart attack risk. So, higher fiber in your diet can lower your heart attack risk by as much as 30%. Who knew, right?" -Alexandra Paul Today, we're diving into the power of fiber—how it fuels gut health, reduces inflammation, and why most people aren't getting enough. Alexandra breaks down the different types of fiber, why variety matters, and easy ways to boost your intake. Then, Jason shares his experience with heavy metal detox, revealing how hidden toxins affect your health, where they come from, and the best foods for natural chelation.

Varbūt toreiz kādi skatītāji domāja, vai tas ir izdomājums, vai arī šāds radījums okeānos patiešām kādreiz dzīvojis. Un atbilde ir – jā. Megalodons ir reāla suga, kas kādreiz mitusi, un tādas vietnes kā “Live Science” un “Science Daily” tai veltījušas plašākus izklāstus. Zinātnieki visai ilgi uzskatījuši, ka megalodoni izskatījās kā lielas baltās haizivis, taču jaunākais pētījums liecina, ka megalodons bijis vairāk nekā 24 metrus garš dzīvnieks, un tas ir vairāk nekā uzrādījuši līdzšinējie aprēķini. Salīdzinājumam – baltās haizivs mātītes ķermeņa garums var būt aptuveni pieci metri. Tā ka redzams atšķirība ir visai liela – pieci metri vai 24 metri.  Bet milzenis megalodons mūsdienās sastopams vairs nav, tas ir dzīvojis jūrās laika nogrieznī pirms 20 miljoniem gadu līdz 3,6 miljoniem gadu. Pilnīgi megalodonu skeleti atrasti nekad nav, tāpēc mūsu zināšanas balstās un arī avoti, no kuriem zinātnieki var gūt datus, nāk no fosilijām - zvīņu un zobu fosilijām. Lai iegūtu jaunākos datus par megalodona izmēru, zinātnieki no Kalifornijas un Riversaidas universitātes, kā arī citām pasaules vietām megalodonu fosilijas salīdzinājuši ar vairāk nekā 150 dzīvām un izmirušām haizivju sugām, iegūstot pēc iespējas precīzāku megalodonu galvas, ķermeņa un astes proporciju. Vēl pētnieki atklājuši, ka megalodons varētu būt dzemdējis dzīvus mazuļus, un arī to garums varētu būt bijis līdz pat četriem metriem. Tas, par ko pētnieku vidū nav vienprātības, – kādai mūsdienu sugai megalodons ir līdzinājies. Kā piemēru jau minējām balto haizivi, tomēr ir zinātnieki, pēc kuru domām, megalodona ķermenis pēc formas daudz tuvāks bijis citronhaizivij vai pat lielam valim.  Pirmais Mēness aptumsums šogad – 14. martā. Bet par kādu citu dabas brīnumu. Piektdien, 14. martā, gaidāms šī gada pirmais Mēness aptumsums, un par to vietnē “Scientific American”. Precīzāk izsakoties, aptumsums būs 13. marta naktī un 14. marta agrās rīta stundās, un tas būs pilns Mēness aptumsums pēc trīs gadu pārtraukuma. Tiesa gan, mūsu platuma grādos šis notikums ies secen. Pilnu Mēness aptumsumu varēs vērot tikai paši Eiropas rietumi – Spānija, Īrija un Lielbritānija. Toties viskrāšņāko un pilnāko aptumsumu varēs skatīt tie, kuri dzīvo Ziemeļamerikā un Dienvidamerikā. Ja klausāties Latvijas Radio, būdami šajās vietās, tad ziniet, ka jums tāda iespēja ir, un to patiešām nevajag laist garām. Bet Latvijā neskumstiet, jo naktī no 7. uz 8. septembri eiropieši redzēs Mēness aptumsumu, un tad to neredzēs Amerika.  Ar ko Mēness aptumsums ir interesants? Atšķirībā no strauja Saules aptumsuma, Mēness aptumsums ir lēns un majestātisks, un, lai to redzētu, nav nepieciešans īpašs aprīkojums vai optisks palīglīdzeklis.  Mēness, Saule, Zeme – šo triju ķermeņu attiecības nosaka Mēness aptumsuma veidošanos, detalizētāk, kā tas notiek, aprakstīts vietnē, bet tur arī piedāvāts tāds vienkāršots skaidrojums. Proti, iedomājieties, ka jūs atrodaties uz Mēness, skatoties uz Zemi un Sauli. No šī skatupunkta šķiet, ka Zeme lēnām virzās Saules priekšā. Sākumā jūs redzat, ka Zeme pavisam nedaudz bloķē Sauli, un gaismas daudzums, kas pie Jums nonāk, samazinās, bet mazliet. Laika gaitā Zeme bloķē Sauli arvien vairāk, un apgaismojums vēl vairāk samazinās. Pēc aptuveni stundas Zeme pilnībā nobloķē Sauli, Jūs atrodaties Zemes ēnā, un visapkārt ir tumšs. Attiecīgi, kad Zeme atkal atklāj Saules seju, aptumsums ir beidzies. Tik tālu par Mēness skatupunktu, bet Mēness aptumsumu mēs vērojam no Zemes, un te nākamais interesantais fakts. Brīdī, kad Saule attiecībā pret Mēnesi ir nobloķēta, mēs uz Zemes redzam nevis vienkārši tumšu, blāvu Mēness disku, bet Mēness seja kļūst “asiņaina”, un to arī sauc par “asiņaino Mēnesi”. Skaidrojumam palīdz fizika. Mēness aptumsuma laikā Saule izgaismo Zemi, tāpēc visa Saules gaisma, kas krīt uz Mēness virsmu, iziet cauri mūsu atmosfēras biezākajai daļai, iekrāsojot Mēnesi sārtā mirdzumā. Izskatās diezgan biedējoši, bet skaisti.  "Zinātnieki netiks apklusināti": tūkstošiem cilvēku protestē pret Donalda Trampa administrācijas politiku. Tūkstošiem pētnieku ASV pilsētās un arī Eiropā mītiņos ar saukli “Stand Up for Science”(jeb “Iestājieties par zinātni”) pauž protestu ASV prezidenta Donalda Trampa administrācijas darbībām, lai samazinātu zinātnisko darbaspēku un izdevumus pētniecībai.  Kopš stāšanās amatā janvārī Tramps un viņa komanda ir atlaiduši un dažos gadījumos mēģinājuši pieņemt atpakaļ darbā tūkstošiem darbinieku ASV zinātnes aģentūrās, kuru darbs bija saistīts ar kodoldrošību, putnu gripas uzraudzību, ekstrēmu laikapstākļu prognozēšanu un citiem jautājumiem. Administrācija ir arī mēģinājusi iesaldēt pētniecības dotācijas zinātnes finansēšanas aģentūrās, tostarp ASV Nacionālajā zinātnes fondā.  Vieni paši mītiņi gan izmaiņas neietekmēs, to jau pierādījuši protesti pagātnē, piemēram, 2017. gadā, kad pētnieki protestēja Trampa pirmā prezidentūras termiņa laikā. Taču svarīgi ir neklusēt, jo, kā norādījusi neirozinātniece Nensija Kanvišere: “Jūs nevarat vienkārši atlaist visus un pēc tam viņus atkal pieņemt darbā, kad tie ir nepieciešami. Zinātnieku paaudze būs zaudēta.” Par šī brīža protestiem plašāk vietnē “Nature”. Vai Latvijā ir retzemju metāli?  Visbeidzot, ja vēl par ģeopolitiku un zinātni, tad aicinām pašmāju portālā “Delfi” iepazīties ar rakstu par retzemju metāliem. Tieši Donalda Trampa un Ukrainas prezidenta Volodimira Zelenska iespējamais darījums par retzemju metāliem pēdējā laikā ir daudz figurējis ziņu virsrakstos, un “Delfu” rakstā labu skaidrojumu sniedzis ģeologs, Latvijas Universitātes asociētais profesors Ģirts Stinkulis. Viņš norāda, ka ne viss, kas ir reti sastopams, automātiski ir retzemju elementi. Tie ir pavisam konkrēti 17 elementi no Mendeļejeva periodiskās tabulas apakšējās daļas, piemēram, skandijs, itrijs, lantāns un citi, tiem ir augsta vērtība un praktiskais pielietojums, piemēram, elektronikā un militārajā jomā. Ukrainā tie ir pieejami, Latvijā par šo 17 elementu klātbūtni pierādījumu nav, bet mums ir ļoti daudz citu vērtīgu dabas resursu, piemēram, dzelzrūda. Par tās un citu atradņu nozīmi plašāk rakstā.

Psychologist and body-image researcher Charlotte Markey joins us to discuss myths and misinformation about body image, how chronic illness and pain affect perceptions of our bodies, the body positivity vs. body neutrality debate, the potential body-image harms of social media (and how to mitigate them), how the discourse about GLP-1 weight-loss drugs is influencing people's body image, and more. This is a cross-post from our other podcast, Rethinking Wellness. Paid subscribers can hear the full interview, and the first half is available to all listeners. Upgrade to paid for the whole thing! Charlotte Markey, Ph.D., is a professor of psychology and chair of the Health Sciences Department at Rutgers University (Camden). Dr. Markey received her doctorate in psychology from the University of California (Riverside) and began conducting research on eating behavior and body image over 25 years ago. She has published over 100 book chapters and articles in peer-reviewed journals. The Body Image Book for Girls: Love Yourself and Grow Up Fearless was published in 2020 to enthusiastic reviews and was a recommended book by A Mighty Girl. It was followed up with Being You: The Body Image Book for Boys (2022), the only book about body image for boys. Body Positive: Understanding and Improving Body Image in Science and Practice (co-edited with Drs. Elizabeth Daniels and Meghan Gillen; Cambridge University Press; 2018) offers a scholarly approach to improving body image. Her newest book is Adultish: The Body Image Book for Life (2024). Dr. Markey writes for U.S. News and World Report, Psychology Today, and a variety of other publications. Her research has garnered widespread media attention, and she has been featured in and interviewed by publications including The New York Times, The Economist, The Today Show, ABC News, Time Magazine, The Washington Post, ScienceDaily, and NBC News.
