To find out if a crow can recognize an individual human face, Professor John Marzluff of the University of Washington wore a mask while trapping, banding, and then releasing seven American Crows on campus. Later, when he walked through the campus wearing the mask, it was automatic! A big group of birds scolded and divebombed him. He thinks it's a benefit to the birds' survival to point out and recognize challenges in their environment. Watch a video and learn more at ScienceMag.org.More info and transcript at BirdNote.org.

I big data nella medicina sono una delle nuove frontiere della scienza e ci faranno compiere importanti passi avanti nella conoscenza e cura delle malattie, anche quelle di causa sconosciuta. La migliore arma però per prevenire e prevedere l'evolversi di certe malattie è prima di tutto capire come funziona il nostro organismo e per farlo l'informatica può dare un efficace contributo. In questa puntata il nostro autore Luca Martinelli ha fatto una chiacchierata con Davide Bressan, dottorando in Scienze biomolecolari all'Università di Trento, che sta studiando in particolare il cancro al fegato. Nella sezione delle notizie invece parliamo di una fotocamera brevettata da Xiaomi che sfrutta la fibra ottica per entrare nella cornice dello smartphone, del laser più potente di sempre e infine dell'annuncio di Nintendo Switch OLED. --Indice-- • La fotocamera di Xiaomi che sfrutta la fibra ottica (01:09) - DDay.it - Davide Fasoli • Il laser più potente di sempre e a cosa servirà (01:59) - ScienceMag.org - Luca Martinelli • Nintendo annuncia la Switch OLED (03:01) - DDay.it - Matteo Gallo • Bioinformatica per combattere tumori e virus (04:20) - Davide Bressan, Luca Martinelli --Contatti-- • www.dentrolatecnologia.it • Instagram (@dentrolatecnologia) • Telegram (@dentrolatecnologia) • YouTube • redazione@dentrolatecnologia.it --Brani-- • Ecstasy by Rabbit Theft • Found You by Time To Talk, Avaya & RYVM

In today’s Solidarity Fridays episode, Kyle and Joe talk about what they've been up to in the last few weeks: doing drugs! Kyle first tells us about his recent experiments with revisiting salvia (which is legal in his state) and how different the experiences were from his young-and-dumb experiments as a teenager- how smaller doses in more ceremonial settings with years of experience in breathwork-inspired non-ordinary states of consciousness helped him see salvia differently. He talks about feeling like he just met the spirit of salvia, and the first message was to "respect the plants." He may be seeing her again. And Joe talks in-depth about his experience last Friday with his first intermuscular ketamine injection- the setting, the music (Sigur Rós- good call, Joe), the dose and timing, and what he heard and felt (and didn't) in his ultimately anxiety-relieving, body-dissolving time in an empty void. Like Kyle, he's now even more open to and supportive of ketamine after the experience. And they also talk about a new ibogaine analog that was recently created called tabernanthalog (or TBG), of which a single injection helped against heroin use relapse in mice for 14 days and doesn't stimulate the brain's reward centers. And they talk about the good that could come from the drug-designing technique used to create it, called function-oriented synthesis. Notable Quotes “Some people tell me they like 1.2 mg/kg. Some people even like to go as high as 2. I think 2 mg/kg is essentially like, they could harvest all your organs and you wouldn’t notice one bit. Based on how high and dissociated I was, they probably could have done it to me- if they made it quick, like 5 minutes. I probably would have been fine.” -Joe “The way I always framed it before going in was: this is an experience of consciousness without identity, without ego, without anything, really. And I didn’t really feel like there was anything there that was me. The idea of 'Joe' felt like a weird thing, a weird silly thing. There was just, like, I and ego and one consciousness, so it wasn’t like a Hindu, bliss consciousness thing; it was like me, as an entity, experiencing… something. Like empty void.” -Joe “This experience was really just fascinating, like how rapidly my consciousness changed. It wasn’t a hurried, frenetic thing like DMT. It was like, “Oh, nope. You’re just here. You’re chilling. You’re not going anywhere.” -Joe “The MAPs protocol is going to be very expensive. Psychedelic Therapy is already very expensive. So, if we could have a drug that would be safe for somebody to take at home, alone, I think of course we should do that. Not everything is cured through the psychedelic experience. Though a lot of things can be, it’s not the case that everything needs to be.” -Joe Links Sagewisdom.org (Dan Siebert’s site) Wikipedia: Legal status of Salvia divinorum in the United States Youtube: Twig Harper: Has anyone enjoyed smoking Salvia?

In Australia a woman gave birth to an incredibly rare set of semi-identical twins. Her egg did something a woman's egg is never supposed to do. Also, have we finally figured out why zebras have stripes? Would you believe it's to mess with bugs? And it's possible that a giant, mysterious planet, ten times the size of Earth, is lurking far outside the orbit of Pluto. But we may not see it for thousands of years.

In this episode I bring back Dr. Kym Fasczewski from Appalachian State University to help explain what you will find in a scientific journal article. What do terms like "double-blind" mean and whay makes it important? What is a p-value? Basically we want to give you a primer on reading peer-reviewed researched. While we talk about statistics, we are not going to make you calculate any. We also talk about how to spot fake scientific journals; these are journals where there is little to no review. In fact we discuss how someone pulled the wool over the media's eyes using such a journal. Here are some links that either we referenced or I thought might be helpful. Research Gate is a website that allows scientists to post scientific papers. Access is free. PubMed is a site run by the National Institutes of Health (NIH) that allows you to search for journal articles based on search terms. However, you are likely only going to get access to abstracts of papers on this site. Scholar.google.com is similar to PubMed in that you can search for papers, but it does a poorer job of separating out legitimate sources from less legitimate sources. However, if you find a paper in PubMed and entire the entire title of the paper in Scholar.Google.Com you might be able to find the entire paper for free. Statistical Thinking has an in-depth article on issues with p values. MethodsMan has some good articles as well. This specific one is about the issue of replication in the medical field. How to read a scientific paper by Adam Ruben of ScienceMag.org My take on how to read a scientific paper published in Performance Conditioning. Last, here is a link to Dr. Fasczewski's bio at the Appalachian State University website (Go Mountaineers!, your host earned a master's degree from Appalachian State).
