    The Great Simplification with Nate Hagens
    The Fish are Fleeing: How Shifting Marine Ecosystems are Upending Life with Malin Pinsky

    The Great Simplification with Nate Hagens

    For all of human history, the oceans and the life within them have remained a stable and fundamental part of Earth as we know it. Yet, for the past few decades, fisheries and scientists alike have observed massive migrations in marine ecosystems unlike anything we've ever witnessed. What is driving these unprecedented movements, and how are they rippling out to affect every aspect of life In this conversation, Nate is joined by marine ecologist Malin Pinsky, whose decades of research shed light on the dramatic migrations of marine species due to rising ocean temperatures. Malin breaks down the science behind these changes – from declining oxygen levels pushing fish toward the poles, to the cascading impacts on intricate marine food webs, as well as the growing threat of localized extinctions among key fishery species. How has a cultural disconnect from the importance of biodiversity and the interdependence of life led to such a drastic impact on the function of our oceans? What do these changes mean for humanity, including impacts on global food security and geopolitical stability? Finally, could reconnecting with the ocean's abundant, diverse ecosystems help us reduce our impact on these deep, blue pillars of life?  (Conversation recorded on April 22nd, 2025)  More TGS Ocean Episodes   About Malin Pinsky: Malin Pinsky is an Associate Professor in the Department of Ecology & Evolutionary Biology at the University of California Santa Cruz with expertise in the adaptation of ocean life to climate change and applications to ocean conservation and fisheries. His more than 120 publications have appeared in Science, Nature, and other journals.  He is a Fellow of the American Association for the Advancement of Science, an Earth Leadership Fellow, and an Early Career Fellow of the Ecological Society of America. Pinsky serves on advisory boards for the Beijer Institute of the Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences, the non-profit Oceana, and the Chewonki Foundation.

    The chemical industry is big business in Louisiana. Companies here manufacture plastics, fuels, pesticides, and cleaning products. But one part of the chemical industry that's often overlooked is the fertilizer business. Today, you're going to hear the story of modern fertilizer, and how this powerful concoction of chemicals has radically reshaped how we farm and what we eat. In this episode, we follow the journey of fertilizer from Louisiana to the Midwest, then back down along the Mississippi River to a place it creates in the Gulf. A place called: The Dead Zone.This episode was produced in collaboration with the Food & Environment Reporting Network, an independent, nonprofit news organization. We also had support from the Mississippi River Basin Ag and Water Desk. This episode was hosted by Carlyle Calhoun and reported by Garrett Hazelwood and Eric Schmid.

    We've known for decades that the 'Yell, Tell and Sell' strategy of belittling people, endeavouring to cajole—or shame—them into some kind of change doesn't work - in fact it can't work.  It's not how we're wired.  Cognitive neuroscience has been telling us this for decades but it's only recently that people have begun to listen. One of those who has been speaking in the wilderness for a long time—and is now finally being heard—is this week's guest, Renée Lertzman. Dr. Renée Lertzman is a researcher, advisor and strategist who translates relational psychology to change our approach to our planetary crisis. Applying her graduate training as a psychosocial researcher, she designs frameworks and methods, grounded in public health, clinical psychology and neurosciences, that guide people to take action and create impact on climate and sustainability issues. Over the past two decades, Renée has worked with global leaders, startups, governments, and mission-driven companies—including Google, IKEA, the California Academy of Sciences, and WWF—helping them navigate the emotional complexities of climate engagement. She's also the founder of Project InsideOut, an initiative that equips changemakers with psychologically grounded resources for collective transformation.This is the key to our survival. We need to learn how to engage ourselves and each other in ways that will transform ourselves and each other. We need to bring serious emotional literacy to the table so that we can create the containers, and attune to the anxieties and aspirations of people around us. We need, above all, to equip people to make sustained and sustainable change.  This is the core of Renée's work and hearing her talk about it in depth is the first step to making it happen.  Enjoy!Learn more at reneelertzman.com and projectinsideout.net.Renée on LinkedIn https://www.linkedin.com/in/reneelertzman/Renée's TED talk https://www.ted.com/talks/renee_lertzman_how_to_turn_climate_anxiety_into_action

    As the United States, led by the Trump administration, charts its course as a world power in AI, the nation's adversaries, particularly China, are taking major strides as well. And the decisions made today in this race to AI will define the character of competition and conflict for years to come. Ylli Bajraktari, president and CEO of the Special Competitive Studies Project, joins the podcast to characterize this global competition from a defense and national security perspective ahead of his organization's massive AI + Expo June 2-4 at the Washington Convention Center. Office of Science and Technology Policy Director Michael Kratsios criticized diversity, equity and inclusion initiatives in federally funded research, calling them “close-minded” in a speech Monday. During remarks before the National Academy of Sciences in Washington, Kratsios called for a reduction of “red tape” in scientific research and fostering what the Trump administration is labeling “gold standard science.” Under that standard, there would be a “suspicion of blind consensus,” he said, arguing that there is a “crisis of confidence in scientists” that comes from fears that political biases are impacting research. Kratsios specifically pointed to DEI as antithetical to that mission, echoing a common refrain for the Trump administration, which has sought to rid the federal government of such programs, positions, offices and research. “DEI initiatives, in particular, degrade our scientific enterprise,” Kratsios said. “DEI represents an existential threat to the real diversity of thought that forms the foundation of the scientific community.” The remarks at the National Academy of Sciences — a nongovernmental membership organization aimed at promoting good scientific principles — come as the Trump administration's efforts to reshape the federal government have impacted federally funded research. The General Services Administration has entered a governmentwide buying agreement with Salesforce, the parent company of Slack, to reduce the price of the enterprise version of the workplace productivity and collaboration tool by 90% per user for federal agencies. GSA said in a press release Monday that it renegotiated “lower, fragmented discounts from individual agency deals” for a deal based on “total government purchasing volume” for Slack Enterprise Grid, resulting in a steep discount for agencies that will expire Nov. 30. The two parties also reached an agreement that will lower the price of Slack AI for Enterprise for agencies by “almost 70% off per user.” Salesforce, which acquired Slack in 2021 for $27.7 billion, is the latest commercial software vendor to reach a governmentwide purchasing agreement with GSA this year, resulting in lower costs for agencies. Google and Adobe also entered into agreements with the Trump administration since its inauguration. GSA and Microsoft arranged a similar deal that came just days before the Trump administration entered office. Also in this episode: Salesforce Executive Vice President for Global Public Sector Paul Tatum joins SNG host Wyatt Kash in a sponsored podcast discussion on how AI agents can help government agencies improve service delivery and internal workflows.

    La notion de "libertés académiques" a souvent été invoquée, lorsque le gouvernement Trump veut empêcher certaines recherches scientifiques, ou lorsque des directions d'université ont fait appel aux forces de l'ordre pour réprimer les manifestations contre l'invasion israélienne à Gaza. Ces libertés académiques sont un héritage qui date de l'invention des universités et du Moyen-Age. On retrouve alors un autre acteur majeur de la dispute entre sciences et pouvoir : l'Eglise. Parce qu'à ce moment-là, l'Eglise a aussi à voir avec la politique. Avec Joël Chandelier, professeur d'histoire de la médecine médiévale à l'UNIL.

    Immobilier 2025 : la Wallonie s'envole, Bruxelles s'enlise

    Pourquoi les acheteurs fuient-ils Bruxelles pour s'installer en Wallonie ? Et comment une ristourne fiscale peut faire grimper les prix ? Dans sa chronique Amid Faljaoui décrypte les coulisses d'un marché immobilier. Le marché immobilier bruxellois patine. Selon les grands réseaux immobiliers, les ventes dans la capitale ont reculé de 10 % depuis janvier. Dans le viseur : des droits d'enregistrement toujours fixés à 12,5 %, quand la Wallonie les a abaissés à 3 % et la Flandre à 2 %. À cela s'ajoute l'absence de gouvernement régional, près d'un an après les élections, qui entretient l'incertitude. Pendant ce temps, en Wallonie, c'est l'euphorie : les ventes ont augmenté de 12% sur les quatre premiers mois de 2025. Pendant ce temps, en Wallonie, c'est l'euphorie : les ventes ont augmenté de 12 % sur les quatre premiers mois de 2025. Mais si la région attire, elle commence aussi à surchauffer. En effet, le prix moyen d'une maison wallonne a bondi de 17,8 % au premier trimestre. La fiscalité allégée aurait donc été absorbée, voire dépassée, par la hausse des prix. Résultat : on paie moins d'impôts, mais bien plus cher pour le bien. Au final, le chèque est plus salé qu'auparavant. Certains, comme le député Écolo Freddy Mockel, tirent parti de ce constat et parlent carrément d'un échec pour la classe moyenne. Selon lui, les vendeurs s'enrichissent, tandis que les jeunes continuent de peiner à accéder à la propriété. Du côté du gouvernement wallon, à l'origine de la baisse des droits d'enregistrement, on temporise. Alors que révèle cette situation ? Une réalité simple : le marché immobilier est une bête capricieuse. Il réagit aux signaux fiscaux, mais aussi à la politique, à la peur et à l'inaction. À Bruxelles, c'est l'attente qui domine. En Wallonie, l'effet d'aubaine profite avant tout aux plus rapides — et souvent aux plus aisés. Les réformes fiscales déplacent les déséquilibres plus qu'elles ne les corrigent. Surtout, elles rappellent une chose essentielle : pour acheter, il ne suffit pas d'une ristourne. Il faut un cap, une politique claire et un minimum de confiance dans l'avenir. Et à Bruxelles, aujourd'hui, ce n'est pas la brique qui est en crise, c'est la confiance. --- La chronique économique d'Amid Faljaoui, tous les jours à 8h30 et à 17h30.

    The gang tries to discuss two papers that look at the evolutionary impacts of the K-Pg mass extinction. Specifically, they look at one paper that estimates sampling probability throughout the late Cretaceous to determine if record bias influences our understanding of the extinction, and another paper that looks at species area relationships to investigate ecological shifts in response to the event. However, the gang gets completely lost and sidetracked throughout. They starting talking about the papers around 18 minutes in… and very quickly lose track again. It's going to be one of those podcasts.   Up-Goer Five (Curt Edition): The friends do a real bad job of talking about two papers that look at what happened when a big rock fell from the sky a long time ago. The first paper looks at the rocks we have from that time and tries to see how well we know what was happening and what was going on with the animals that were around at that time. Given the rocks we have, how sure are we that we know where animals were and how many of those things were around. It turns out that just before the big rock hit, we do not have a good idea of what things were around and where they were. The second paper looks at how the places where things were living in the past changed before and after the big rock hit. The idea is that some animals may have done well because they could go to all of the places when things get bad because they do well when things go bad. This paper says that this is not happening and that there is way more going on with these groups that were doing well after the big rock hit.   References: Close, Roger Adam, and Bouwe Rutger Reijenga.

    Dans cette chronique, amid Faljaoui nous parle d'un tournant décisif : l'éducation ne peut plus se limiter à transmettre des savoirs, elle doit former des esprits curieux, engagés, capables de résister à la facilité technologique. Une réflexion essentielle pour tous les parents. Aujourd'hui, ChatGPT (ou un concurrent) peut résumer un livre, résoudre des problèmes de mathématiques étape par étape, et même humaniser le tout en y ajoutant volontairement quelques fautes d'orthographe. Derrière cette révolution silencieuse, c'est une véritable rupture civilisationnelle qui se profile. Traditionnellement, l'école était là pour transmettre des savoirs utiles : lire, écrire, compter, et préparer au marché de l'emploi. Mais l'IA redistribue brutalement les cartes. Pourquoi apprendre à coder quand les IA codent mieux que nous ? Pourquoi mémoriser des faits quand une simple requête suffit à obtenir une synthèse ? Pourquoi s'échiner à écrire un texte quand une machine le fait en cinq secondes ? L'experte en éducation Rebecca Winthrop nous invite à revenir à l'essentiel. Selon elle, l'école ne doit plus seulement former des cerveaux bien remplis, mais aussi des esprits engagés : des jeunes capables d'apprendre à apprendre, de collaborer, d'avoir envie de résoudre des problèmes que personne ne leur a encore posés — bref, de rester profondément humains dans un monde de machines. Elle parle de l'engagement comme de la compétence maîtresse du futur. Être engagé, c'est vouloir comprendre, chercher, relier, dialoguer. Alors, à quoi ressemblera l'école idéale de demain ? Peut-être à une oasis sans écrans, du moins durant les premières années. Pour préserver la capacité d'attention des jeunes, développer l'empathie, apprendre à parler, à écouter, à débattre. Car dans un monde saturé d'intelligence artificielle, la vraie compétence du futur ne sera pas de rivaliser avec les machines, mais d'incarner ce qu'elles ne peuvent pas offrir : l'esprit critique, la nuance, la coopération, l'éthique — et pourquoi pas, un tout petit peu de poésie.

    Airbnb change de modèle : il ne vend plus des nuits, il vend des services… sans en assurer aucun. Coiffeurs, chefs, massages, expériences VIP : Airbnb devient une machine à commissions. Découvrez comment la plateforme va capter notre quotidien — sans posséder un seul mètre carré et sans frais de personnel en écoutant la chronique d'Amid Faljaoui. Jusqu'ici, Airbnb était avant tout une plateforme de réservation de logements. Mais son fondateur, Brian Chesky, vient de présenter une version entièrement repensée de l'application. Airbnb proposera désormais des services à domicile : massage, coiffure, chef privé, manucure… et cela, même si vous séjournez à l'hôtel ou ne voyagez pas du tout. C'est là le véritable changement : Airbnb ne se positionne plus seulement comme une application de voyage, mais ambitionne de devenir une application de vie. Le groupe relance également ses « expériences » : des activités insolites proposées par des habitants, cette fois en version haut de gamme et plus sélective qu'auparavant. Cette nouvelle orientation stratégique intervient dans un contexte où le modèle de location de logements reste fragile, et où l'usage de l'application demeure ponctuel. Airbnb n'est en général ouverte que quelques fois par an, pour planifier des vacances, alors que des plateformes comme Uber, Amazon ou Deliveroo s'inscrivent dans une routine quotidienne. C'est ce que cherche désormais Airbnb : capter un usage régulier, fondé sur des dépenses récurrentes, afin de maintenir un lien constant avec l'utilisateur. Pour les prestataires de services, la plateforme devient une vitrine exceptionnelle. En s'insérant dans ces secteurs, Airbnb prélèvera naturellement sa commission. Et c'est là le véritable virage : l'entreprise ne veut plus seulement vendre des nuitées, mais capter une part de notre quotidien. Le génie commercial de ce modèle réside dans sa simplicité : pas de possessions, pas de charges fixes supplémentaires, pas de salariés en plus — mais une marge confortable. Airbnb va s'infiltrer dans tous ces secteurs en leur ouvrant sa porte et évidemment en prenant sa commission au passage. Et c'est ça le vrai virage. Airbnb ne veut plus juste vendre des nuitées. Il veut capter un pourcentage de notre vie. Et le génie commercial, c'est qu'il va le faire sans rien posséder, sans aucune charge fixe, sans employés supplémentaires, mais avec une très belle marge.

    It wasn't long ago when summer was a time for nonstop action, everything from "Speed" to "Die Hard." There are still plenty of action movies like the next "Mission: Impossible" film along with a new installment in the "Jurassic Park" franchise, but many of the annual entries are tied to comic books and other longstanding franchises. What about new entries into the field? In this episode we talk with Katee Sackhoff, who stars in the new action movie "Fight or Flight," as well as the film's director James Madigan. Sackhoff is no stranger to the action genre, having been involved with several "Star Wars" programs from Disney+. And with action movies, come big stunts. The Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences recently announced that a new Oscar category will be introduced for the 100th Academy Awards: Achievement in Stunt Design. We talk about what that means and whether mainstream actors like Tom Cruise could find a new pathway to an Oscar.

    You can't be moral on your own. That's a radical idea in this time of moral outrage, but thriving in public life requires a sense of mutual accountability, belonging, and hospitality for each other.Mona Siddiqui is a professor of religion and society, an author, commentator, and public intellectual, and she suggests that the virtues of loyalty, gratitude, hospitality, and hope can lead us through the common struggle of being human together, living forward into a thriving life of public faith and renewed moral imagination.As Professor of Islamic and Interreligious Studies, Assistant Principal for Religion and Society, and Dean international for the Middle-East at the University of Edinburgh, she is an international beacon of hope that we might find restoration, hospitality, and flourishing in our world of struggle. Working through questions of loyalty, responsibility, belonging, gratitude, robust faith, and what we owe each other, we can find abundant resources for thriving and spiritual health.In this conversation with Mona Siddiqui, we discuss:What is a moral life?The connection between faith, spirituality, and living a moral life of responsibility and integrityThe difference between cultivating virtuous character and doing justiceHow to thrive in a pluralistic society marked by constant struggle and conflictThe promise of gratitude and hospitality in a life of thrivingAnd how to pursue a hopeful, forward-looking approach to restoration in the wake of harm, loss, pain, and suffering.Episode Highlights"Our moral life only becomes alive when we are in a relationship—you can't be moral on your own.""Life is all about searching. Life is all about introspection. Life is all about reflection.""The good life is hard; it's not about ease, but about living with accountability and responsibility.""Hospitality isn't just welcoming—it's negotiating belonging, loyalty, and a sense of shared life.""Gratitude can liberate, but it can also create hierarchies and transactional indebtedness.""Hope is not naive optimism—without hope, how do you live, build relationships, or carry forward at all?"Helpful Links and ResourcesFollow Mona on X (Twitter) at @monasiddiqui7*Christians, Muslims, and Jesus,* by Mona SiddiquiHuman Struggle, Christian and Muslim Perspectives, by Mona SiddiquiA Theology of Gratitude: Christian and Muslim Perspectives, by Mona SiddiquiMy Way: A Muslim Woman's Journey by Mona SiddiquiThe Moral Maze, BBC Radio 4Show NotesMona Siddiqui's personal background in Islamic jurisprudence and public theology“I got into Islamic jurisprudence because of personal connection and intellectual curiosity.”Navigating public discourse post-9/11 as a non-white, non-Christian scholarImportance of pluralism and living within diverse identities"I need to create a space that appeals to a wider audience—not just about what I think."Growing up with intellectual freedom in a traditional Islamic householdHow faith upbringing seeds lifelong moral introspection"You are always answering to yourself—you know when you have not lived rightly."Developing comparative theology through seminars with Christian scholarsOverlapping themes between Islamic and Christian thought on the good lifeThe significance of accountability over blanket forgiveness"Belonging is crucial to being a good citizen—you can't flourish alone."Exploration of loyalty: loyalty to people vs loyalty to principlesCivic loyalty and critical engagement with the state“Because I feel loyal to my country, I should also be its critic.”The role of prayer in cultivating internal moral awarenessReflection on virtues: gratitude, loyalty, hopeThe dark sides of gratitude and loyalty in institutionsParenting with a focus on integrity, accountability, and faithfulness“Live so that whatever you say in public, you can say at home—and vice versa.”Emphasis on public engagement: speaking clearly, making complex ideas accessible"Radio became a gift—people want complex ideas made simple and meaningful."Remaining hopeful despite the culture of outrage and cynicismYoung people's resilience and persistent hopefulnessHospitality as a fundamental ethic for creating trust and belongingStruggle as a normative, transformative experience that shapes flourishing"Thriving is not just freedom—it's centering, writing, speaking, and deep human connection."The importance of relationships in thriving and flourishing“Most of us realize—relationships are the hardest, but the most rewarding.”Redefining gratitude: avoiding transactional gratitude, cultivating authentic gratefulnessStruggle cultivates introspection, resilience, creativity, and a deeper moral lifePam King's Key TakeawaysI can't be moral on my own. But my decisions are my own. In the end, living with integrity means living with virtue.Personal and public flourishing are deeply connected to our lives of faith and spirituality; and all of us need to bring the depths of our personal spiritual commitments into public life.We can offer hope and freedom from fear to each other when we expand our hospitality to all persons.The practice of gratitude in the face of our vulnerability is easier said than done—but is a strengthening response to uncertainty and suffering.And finally, human struggle is something we hold in common, and it can be redeemed for creativity, beauty, healing restoration, and a reminder of our dignity as human creatures.About Mona SiddiquiMona Siddiqui is Professor of Islamic and Interreligious Studies, Assistant Principal for Religion and Society, and Dean international for the Middle-East at the University of Edinburgh.Her research areas are primarily in the field of Islamic jurisprudence and ethics and Christian-Muslim relations.

    Millions of years ago, iguanas somehow got from North America to Fiji. Scientists think they made the trip on a raft of fallen vegetation. Also, the marine reptile's fossilized fetus is cluing paleontologists into the lives of ancient sea creatures.Ancient Iguanas Floated 5,000 Miles Across The PacificIf you picture iguanas, you might imagine them sunbathing on hot sand in the Caribbean or skittering around the Mojave Desert. But far, far away from where these iguanas are found is another group of iguanas living on the islands of Fiji and Tonga in the South Pacific—closer to New Zealand than the Americas. And it raises the question: How in the world did these iguanas end up all alone, on the other side of the ocean? In a study published in Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences in March, scientists suggest that millions of years ago, iguanas hitched a ride on a raft and accidentally sailed all the way across the ocean before washing ashore and starting a new life. Host Flora Lichtman discusses the iguanas' intrepid adventure with lead author Dr. Simon Scarpetta, evolutionary biologist and assistant professor at the University of San Francisco in California.Meet Fiona, The Pregnant Icthyosaur FossilIn the Patagonia region of Chile, Torres del Paine National Park is a graveyard of ichthyosaurs—ancient, dolphin-like reptiles that roamed the oceans when dinosaurs dominated the land. Nearly 90 of these giant reptiles' fossils have been found amongst the glaciers. But the standout in the bone heap is Fiona, an ichthyosaur that lived 131 million years ago. She's in pristine condition, the only fully preserved ichthyosaur in Chile. And, she died pregnant. She's teaching paleontologists about the evolution of her species. And some of those findings were recently published in the Journal of Vertebrate Paleontology. Host Flora Lichtman talks with lead author Dr. Judith Pardo-Pérez, paleontologist at the University of Magallanes in Chile.Transcripts for each segment will be available after the show airs on sciencefriday.com.

    The Trump administration continues to escalate its authoritarian assault on higher education, free speech, and political dissent—and university administrators and state government officials are willingly aiding that assault. On the morning of April 23, at the direction of Michigan Attorney General Dana Nessel, law enforcement officers, including FBI agents, raided the homes of multiple student organizers connected to Palestine solidarity protests at the University of Michigan. “According to the group Students Allied for Freedom and Equality (SAFE), agents seized the students' electronics and a number of personal items,” Michael Arria reports at Mondoweiss. “Four individuals were detained, but eventually released.” In this urgent episode of Working People, we speak with a panel of graduate student workers from the University of Michigan and Columbia University about how they and their unions are fighting back against ICE abductions, FBI raids, and top-down political repression, all while trying to carry on with their day-to-day work.

    Medical science is advancing at an astonishing rate. Today we talk with leading expert Eric Topol about two aspects of this story. First, the use of artificial intelligence in medicine, especially in diagnostics. This is an area that is a perfect match between an important question and the capabilities of machine learning, to the point where AI can out-perform human doctors. And second, our understanding of aging and what to do about it. Eric even gives some actionable advice on how to live more healthily into our golden years.Blog post with transcript: https://www.preposterousuniverse.com/podcast/2025/05/05/episode-313-eric-topol-on-the-changing-face-of-medicine-and-aging/Support Mindscape on Patreon.Eric Topol received and M.D. from the University of Rochester.

    What is beginner's luck? After all, it has a name so it must happen often enough to be a thing. But could it just be an odd and occasional coincidence or is there really something to it? We begin this episode with a look at the phenomenon of beginner's luck and why it may not be luck at all. Source: Sian Beilock author of Choke (https://amzn.to/3Nj53uE) Quitting? You can't quit! Quitting is for losers – you should finish what you start. That's the message many of us have playing in our head when it comes to the thought of quitting. But hang on a second! In some cases, quitting may very well be the best option while persevering may be a really dumb idea. That is something my guest Julia Keller firmly believes. Julia is a Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist, teacher and author of the book, Quitting: A Life Strategy: The Myth of Perseverance―and How the New Science of Giving Up Can Set You Free (https://amzn.to/41LAWR9) There is something great about being around water.

Wallace is a Senior Fellow at the Center for the Blue Economy in Monterey, a research associate at the California Academy of Sciences and author of the book, Blue Mind: The Surprising Science That Shows How Being Near, In, On, or Under Water Can Make You Happier, Healthier, More Connected, and Better at What You Do (https://amzn.to/3NfkZy8) How is your love life?
