Dans cet épisode, Pierre et Marie-Juliette partent à la rencontre des toucans, toucanets et araçaris, de somptueux oiseaux sud-américains très peu discrets en raison de leurs vifs plumages et surtout de leur monumental bec. Un bec qui a aussi bien inspiré le tupi-guarani (une langue brésilienne), le grec scientifique, et l'anglo-japonais de Pokémon..._______

Malgré des avancées notables, les femmes restent sous-représentées dans les carrières scientifiques et technologiques. Moins d'un tiers des chercheurs scientifiques et à peine un quart des ingénieurs en France sont des femmes selon le rapport du Sénat XX=XY, féminiser les sciences, dynamiser la société du 7 octobre 2025.    Ce constat interroge : comment expliquer une telle sous-représentation dans des secteurs clés de l'innovation ? Face à ces inégalités persistantes, des réseaux, associations et projets se mobilisent pour accompagner les parcours, créer des opportunités et renforcer la visibilité des femmes scientifiques. Comment ces initiatives influencent-elles concrètement les trajectoires professionnelles ?

Kosmos, un nouvel agent IA scientifique capable de lire jusqu'à 1 500 articles scientifiques et d'écrire 42 000 lignes de code par session, peut accomplir l'équivalent de six mois de travail en une seule journée. Sa vraie innovation : un "modèle du monde" structuré et mis à jour en continu. S'il a permis des avancées dans les neurosciences, science des matériaux et la génétique, environ 20 % de ses résultats sont non vérifiables, rendant essentielle la relecture humaine, gage de rigueur.

Le sommet annuel du think tank tchèque European Values était consacré à Taiwan – Une première édition du « Rhinocéros de Dürer » découverte dans les archives de l'Académie tchèque des Sciences  

J'ai retrouvé Bart après des années sans nous voir, et cette conversation m'a profondément touchée. Nous nous connaissons depuis l'époque où il avait lancé Abrigo, sa startup sur le marché de la rencontre, quand Tinder débarquait tout juste en France. À l'époque, il m'avait déjà invitée dans son podcast pour parler d'amour et de carrière, posant des questions que je ne m'attendais pas à entendre : comment ma relation impactait ma vie professionnelle. Il était précurseur sur ces sujets, bien avant que tout le monde ne s'y intéresse.Ce qui m'a fascinée dans notre échange, c'est de comprendre comment Bart a vécu cette bifurcation rare entre le monde des startups et celui de la création de contenu, deux univers qui se regardent souvent avec méfiance. Après l'échec douloureux d'Abrigo, une séparation compliquée et six mois de fêtes et d'errance, il s'est retrouvé face à une question essentielle : pourquoi certains réussissent et pas d'autres ? Cette interrogation l'a poussé à créer Extraterrestre, son podcast où il interroge des sportifs de haut niveau sur leurs clés de réussite. Une démarche humble et honnête, née de sa propre quête spirituelle. Ce qui ressort de son parcours, c'est l'importance capitale des routines et des rituels dans sa reconstruction. Bart a construit sa santé mentale jour après jour, avec des pratiques simples : tenir un carnet, ritualiser ses gratitudes et ses fiertés, instaurer des protocoles de communication dans son couple. Il parle ouvertement de ces rituels du dimanche soir où lui et sa compagne se font du feedback, se disent ce qu'ils ont apprécié l'un chez l'autre. Une approche qui peut surprendre, mais qui nourrit leur relation au quotidien. Il insiste sur ce point : sa compagne est au cœur de ses réussites, elle est son associée de vie, sa confidente.Bart incarne cette idée que les routines ne tuent pas la spontanéité, elles la libèrent. Il a testé énormément de pratiques, abandonné celles qui ne lui correspondaient pas, gardé celles qui le nourrissent vraiment. Son message est clair : ce n'est pas dans les grands discours qu'on trouve l'équilibre, mais dans ces petites actions répétées qui construisent une vie alignée. Aujourd'hui épanoui et en pleine réussite, il continue d'explorer ce qui fait qu'on progresse, qu'on grandit, qu'on devient la meilleure version de soi-même.Timeline0:00:01 - 00:06:44 : Retrouvailles et contexte : quand deux entrepreneurs se reconnectent 00:06:45 - 00:15:40 : Abrigo : l'aventure d'une startup dans le marché de la rencontre 00:15:41 - 00:28:30 : Les défis de l'entrepreneuriat : pivoter ou persévérer 00:28:31 - 00:42:15 : L'échec comme tremplin : transformer une fermeture en opportunité 00:42:16 - 00:54:20 : Leadership et gestion d'équipe : les leçons du terrain 00:54:21 - 01:04:35 : Équilibre de vie : quand l'entrepreneuriat rencontre le bien-être personnel 01:04:36 - 01:09:51 : Routines de performance : les rituels quotidiens qui font la différenceHébergé par Audiomeans.

What if the solutions to humanity's greatest challenges — on Earth and beyond — have already been invented by nature? In this forward-looking talk, evolutionary biologist and astrobiologist Dr. Lynn Rothschild explores how life's patterns, materials, and mechanisms, refined over billions of years, can serve as a blueprint for building better futures on Earth and other planets. Drawing on insights from deep time, Dr. Rothschild will open the doors to “nature's hardware store” — a vast, largely untapped reservoir of biological strategies available to scientists, engineers, and innovators. From self-healing materials and bio-inspired architecture to regenerative systems for space exploration, she reveals how biology is shaping the frontiers of technology and inspiring bold, surprisingly practical solutions to complex problems. Grounded in astrobiology and evolutionary insight, this talk invites us to rethink innovation through the lens of life itself and to explore what's possible when we tap into nature's storehouse of intelligence to solve the challenges of tomorrow. Lynn J. Rothschild is a research scientist at NASA Ames and Adjunct Professor at Brown University and Stanford University working in astrobiology, evolutionary biology and synthetic biology. Rothschild's work focuses on the origin and evolution of life on Earth and in space, and in pioneering the use of synthetic biology to enable space exploration. From 2011 through 2019 Rothschild served as the faculty advisor of the award-winning Stanford-Brown iGEM (international Genetically Engineered Machine Competition) team, exploring innovative technologies such as biomining, mycotecture, BioWires, making a biodegradable UAS (drone) and an astropharmacy. Rothschild is a past-president of the Society of Protozoologists, fellow of the Linnean Society of London, The California Academy of Sciences and the Explorer's Club and lectures and speaks about her work widely.

In this episode, I talk with Dr. Feniosky Peña-Mora, Sc.D., P.E., F.ASCE, ASCE President and National Dean, School of Engineering and Sciences at Tecnológico de Monterrey, about civil engineering leadership and its future impact.

When You Come at the King: Inside DOJ's Pursuit of the President, from Nixon to Trump by Elie Honig https://www.amazon.com/When-You-Come-King-President/dp/0063447363 "[A] deeply researched, keenly analytical, and frequently provocative chronicle of this singular judicial entity. . . . A senior legal analyst for CNN and former assistant U.S. attorney, Honig is well-suited to the task of providing a historical overview of the special counsel's function with the ever-evolving context of politics, partisanship and political skepticism." —Booklist (STARRED review) "A fascinating, fast-paced insider's account....[a] riveting, deeply reported book.” —Anderson Cooper “Every page hums with gripping anecdotes and breaking news journalism." —Douglas Brinkley Imagine you've been put in charge of investigating your own boss—who also happens to be the most powerful person on the planet. You might unearth information that will be politically, professionally, and personally devastating to your subject, and you alone hold the power to indict and potentially imprison him. At the same time, the boss can fire you and end the case—and might even turn the tables and launch an inquiry aimed at you. As the lone-wolf assassin Omar put it in The Wire: “You come at the king, you best not miss.” That's the crucible for any Special Counsel. For decades, the Department of Justice has appointed outside prosecutors to handle our highest-stakes cases. But do these independent investigations lead to just results? In When You Come at the King, CNN senior legal analyst Elie Honig delivers a fast-paced, insider's account of the most important Justice Department investigations of the past fifty years, based on dozens of on-record interviews with firsthand participants. A Watergate prosecutor reveals she hid copies of key documents at home to guard against potential destruction of evidence by the president's allies. A member of the Iran–Contra prosecution team explains why they made a shocking election-eve revelation. A defense lawyer for Donald Trump details his private meeting with Jack Smith just days before Trump was indicted. From Ken Starr's investigation of Bill Clinton to modern cases involving Patrick Fitzgerald, Robert Mueller, Jack Smith, and more, Honig charts how the Special Counsel system developed and evolved over time. We know the maxim that a nation can be measured by how it treats its weakest members. This book explores an inverse corollary: A nation reveals much about itself by how it holds accountable its most powerful leaders when they've done wrong. Now, with the future of Special Counsels in doubt, When You Come at the King addresses the most important question of all: Can the system evolve to better serve the call for justice?About the author Elie Honig is CNN's Senior Legal Analyst. He previously worked for 14 years as a federal and state prosecutor. Honig provides on-air commentary and analysis for CNN on news relating to the U. S. Department of Justice, major criminal trials, the Supreme Court, Congressional and grand jury investigations, national security, policing, and other legal issues. In 2022, Honig was nominated for an Emmy Award by the National Academy of Television Arts & Sciences in the category "Outstanding News Analysis: Editorial & Opinion." Honig is the national bestselling author of two prior books published by HarperCollins: "Hatchet Man: How Bill Barr Broke the Prosecutor's Code and Corrupted the Justice Department" (2021) and "Untouchable: How Powerful People Get Away With It" (2023). His third book, "When You Come at the King: Inside DOJ's Pursuit of the President, from Nixon to Trump," publishes in September 2025. Honig writes a weekly column on legal news for New York magazine and CAFE. He hosts the popular true-crime podcast, "Up Against the Mob," and a weekly legal podcast, "The Counsel," both productions of Vox Media. Honig graduated from Rutgers College (where he ...

What if your brain's health in retirement depended as much on who you see as on what you eat or how you move? Neuroscientist Dr. Ben Rein, author of  the new book Why Brains Need Friends: The Neuroscience of Social Connection, joins us to reveal how social connection shapes your brain. He explains why isolation is as toxic as chronic stress, how friendship fuels brain resilience, and why your dog might be one of your best wellness allies. In this e, ye-opening conversation, you'll learn how staying socially engaged literally protects your brain from decline, the science behind “nature's medicine” — oxytocin — and practical ways to rewire your social habits for longevity, joy, and emotional well-being. If you've ever wondered why friendships matter more than ever in retirement, this episode will change the way you think about your brain — and your calendar. You'll learn: Why social interaction is a fundamental pillar of brain health, as critical as sleep and nutrition - and what happens when we don't get enough of it The invisible pattern of retirement isolation: how time spent alone steadily increases while connections with coworkers, friends, and family decline simultaneously Why text-based communication doesn't satisfy your brain's need for connection (and what to do instead to restore the social cues your brain craves) The surprising neuroscience behind why dogs are so good for us—and how they activate the same brain reward systems as human connection Two scientifically-proven exercises you can start today to train your empathy and strengthen the brain regions associated with compassion and social connection Ben Rein joins us from Buffalo, New York. ____________________________ Bio Ben Rein, PhD, is an award-winning neuroscientist, chief science officer of the Mind Science Foundation, adjunct lecturer at Stanford University, clinical assistant professor at SUNY Buffalo, and a renowned science educator. Dr. Rein's research focuses on the neuroscience of social interactions, and outside of the lab he teaches neuroscience to an audience of more than one million social media followers. Dr. Rein and his research have been featured on major media outlets including Entertainment Tonight and Good Morning America, and he has received awards from the National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine; the Society for Neuroscience; and elsewhere. _____________________________ For More on Ben Rein Why Brains Need Friends: The Neuroscience of Social Connection Website You Tube Channel ______________________________ Mentioned in this Podcast Loving Kindness Meditation Affect Dyad excercise ______________________________ Podcast Conversations You May Like Our New Social Life – Natalie Kerr & Jaime Kurtz The Laws of Connection – David Robson The Self-Healing Mind – Gregory Scott Brown, M.D _______________________________ About The Retirement Wisdom Podcast There are many podcasts on retirement, often hosted by financial advisors with their own financial motives, that cover the money side of the street.

 Do we live for our substitute gratification or do we really make the things that we want?Do we surrender our life:To love?To our mission?Or to our passions?Do we give our child rather more surrogates to calm them down?Are we loving parents…?What are our substitute gratifications?TV, Facebook, industrially processed food, Junk food, drugs, all the distraction… mainly everything that we don't need and don't give us the reason to live. When I was 25 years old, I read the book: The Continuum-Concept, In Search of Lost Happiness, by Jean Liedloff… In this book, Jean describes the suffering of the sciences who trekked through the Amazons area and their porters, simple American Indians who enjoyed the journey… Why was it so?The American Indians had no trekking gear, and they carried the heavy baggage of the Sciences… so they should suffer much harder…?The reason is:The American Indians grew up with so much love … and so pain, hardship is for them easy to endure. We are growing up with less or no love, but with substitute gratification.And the surrogates make us weak…!I could watch a similar situation when I lived 25 years ago in an Indian Ashram.The Indians could bear very much pain, hardships and could still enjoy their life…The Indians were beating their kids. And still, they were giving their kids so much love and forgiveness that the pain was for the Indians not important.

Histoire et mémoire sont omniprésentes dans la vie des États comme sur la scène internationale. Elles se déploient toutes deux sur le territoire du passé qu'elles ressuscitent chacune à sa manière, mais à des fins qui peuvent paraître opposées. Individuelle, collective, la mémoire peut être aussi refoulée, comme l'a été celle de la guerre d'Algérie, ou celle des «disparus» sous la dictature argentine. Elle peut être également manipulée ou «obligée» au travers de ce «devoir de mémoire» devenu omniprésent dans les années 1990, souvent invoqué pour la Shoah. À côté de la mémoire ou des mémoires, l'histoire a non seulement toute sa place, mais elle a un rôle, celui de sentinelle de la vérité, chargée de mettre le passé à bonne distance afin d'apaiser les éventuelles tensions. La réalité est parfois autre à constater combien l'histoire peut demeurer une arme de guerre fatale entre les mains de dictateurs qui y cherchent et leur légitimité et la justification de leur politique de conquête.

Neuroscientists have spent the past few decades tracing the network of brain systems—some deep and emotional, and others more analytical and deliberate— that work together as we make tough choices like where to invest our money as well as more everyday decisions like which videos to watch online—or, for that matter, which podcast to listen to.You can imagine that the ability to listen in on the brain systems that guide our choices might start to let scientists predict our decisions. But today's guest has taken this a step further, showing that measuring brain activity in just a few individuals can actually forecast widespread social behaviors, like which stock prices are likely to go up or down on the market, or which videos are likely to go viral. Join us as we talk with Brian Knutson, a professor of psychology in Stanford's School of Humanities and Sciences, about the frontiers of neuroeconomics, bridging psychology, economics, and neuroscience. Learn MoreSPANlab (Symbiotic Project on Affective Neuroscience)NeuroChoice: Eight years of forging connections to illuminate and empower choice (Wu Tsai Neurosciences Institute, 2024)Brain imaging links stimulant-use relapse to distinct nerve pathway (Wu Tsai Neurosciences Institute, 2022)Brain activity data may improve stock market forecasts, study shows (The Guardian, 2021)Your brain knows whether a video will go viral online (Stanford Report, 2020)Odds are good that risky gambling choices are influenced by a single brain connection, Stanford research shows (Stanford Report, 2016)Smile boosts chances of getting a microloan, say Stanford psychologists (Stanford Report, 2015)Stanford scientists see how the brain makes environmental decisions (Stanford Report, 2015)Send us a text!Thanks for listening!

Just in time for spooky season we explore a treat of a fine spirit with a tricky past. Absinthe: what it is, how it behaves in the glass, the deal on wormwood, a brief history, and some thujone theory.

(00:00:00) Lunar Relics and Interstellar Insights: Discoveries from the Moon and Comet 3I ATLAS (00:00:46) Relics of the outer solar system discovered on the Moon (00:03:30) Insights from interstellar comet 3I ATLAS (00:07:31) SpaceX's Starship Mega rocket test flight (00:23:54) The Science report (00:31:46) Episode Wrap In this episode of SpaceTime, we explore remarkable discoveries that provide new insights into our solar system and beyond.Relics of the Outer Solar System Found on the MoonA groundbreaking study reveals that meteorites found on the Moon originated from the outer solar system. Researchers from the Chinese Academy of Sciences have identified olivine-bearing clasts from lunar regolith collected by the Chang'e 6 mission. These relics, believed to be carbonaceous chondrites, offer critical information about the formation and evolution of planets. The findings suggest that the Moon serves as a pristine archive for meteorites, with implications for understanding the origins of lunar water and organic materials.Interstellar Comet 3I ATLAS: Insights into Alien Solar SystemsThe interstellar comet 3I ATLAS is revealing fascinating details about the composition of other solar systems. New observations indicate that 3I ATLAS has been active longer than expected, releasing various molecules as it travels through our solar system. This segment discusses how the comet's behavior challenges existing assumptions about comet activity and provides clues about the materials present in distant star systems.SpaceX's Starship Mega Rocket Test FlightSpaceX has successfully completed its 11th test flight of the Starship Mega rocket, demonstrating significant advancements in its design and capabilities. The mission involved various maneuvers, including hot staging and payload deployment, as well as tests of the spacecraft's reentry and landing procedures. This episode highlights the importance of these tests for future missions to the Moon and Mars, as SpaceX continues to refine the Starship for interplanetary travel.www.spacetimewithstuartgary.com✍️ Episode ReferencesProceedings of the National Academy of Scienceshttps://www.pnas.org/Astrophysical Journal Lettershttps://iopscience.iop.org/journal/2041-8205Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/spacetime-your-guide-to-space-astronomy--2458531/support.Relics of the Outer Solar System Found on the MoonInterstellar Comet 3I ATLAS: Insights into Alien Solar SystemsSpaceX's Starship Mega Rocket Test Flight

Watch the video recording of this Keynote here on YouTube.In the space of a single generation (1950 to 1980), the journalist and author William F. Buckley led a small band of little-known conservatives to the peaks of political power and cultural influence.Ten years before his death, Buckley chose journalist and historian Sam Tanenhaus to tell the full story of his life, granting him extensive uncensored interviews and exclusive access to his most private papers. The result, “Buckley: The Life and the Revolution,” published in June 2025, has received a great deal of attention and prompted wide and intense debate.In a live on-stage conversation at Cornell's College of Arts and Sciences, Peter Loewen, the Harold Tanner Dean of Arts and Sciences, and Tanenhaus discuss Buckley and the true meaning of his life and legacy in the Age of Donald Trump.
