00:46 Microsatellite makes messaging secureA tiny satellite has enabled quantum-encrypted information to be sent between China and South Africa, the farthest distance yet achieved for quantum communication. Using a laser-based system, a team in the city of Hefei was able to beam a ‘secret key' encoded in quantum states of photons, to their colleagues over 12,000 km away. This key allowed scrambled messages to be decrypted — including one containing a picture of the Great Wall of China. The team's system is drastically smaller and cheaper that previous attempts, and they think it represents a big step towards the creation of a global network of secure, quantum communication.Research Article: Li et al.News: Mini-satellite paves the way for quantum messaging anywhere on Earth09:53 Research HighlightsHow storms known as ‘atmospheric rivers' could replenish Greenland's ice, and a prosthetic hand that can distinguish objects by touch almost as well as a human.Research Highlight: Mega-storm dumps 11 billion tonnes of snow ― and builds up a melting ice sheetResearch Highlight: Robotic fingers can tell objects apart by touch12:27 An AI that gives other AIs helpful feedbackResearchers have created an AI system called TextGrad which can provide written feedback on another AI's performance. This feedback is interpretable by humans, which could help researchers tweak the incredibly complicated, and sometimes inscrutable models that underpin modern AIs. “Previously optimising machine learning algorithms requires quite a lot of human engineering,” says James Zou, one of the team behind this work, “but with TextGrad, now the AI is able to self-improve to a large extent.”Research Article: Yuksekgonul et al.20:55 How the Trump administration's cuts are affecting scienceThe first two months of Donald Trump's presidency has seen swingeing cuts to US federal funding for research, particularly to research associated with DEI.

Dr. Tabby Rabenberg, Principal at Bismarck Public Schools, discusses the critical role of self-efficacy and hands-on experiences in empowering girls to pursue careers in STEM fields.Drawing from her extensive experience in education, Tabby shares valuable insights into the importance of building confidence and providing diverse opportunities for young students, especially girls, from elementary school through high school.Through innovative programs and a holistic approach to education, Tabby and her team at Bismarck Public Schools are inspiring the next generation of STEM leaders and preparing them for success in a rapidly evolving world.In this episode, you'll learn:The correlation between self-efficacy and interest in STEM fields, especially math and scienceThe impact of hands-on experiences on students' confidence and career choicesStrategies for fostering a growth mindset and building self-confidence in young girlsThe importance of early exposure to STEM opportunities in elementary and middle school - and why starting career exposure in high school is too lateInnovative approaches to STEM education and career pathways at Bismarck Public SchoolsQuotable Moments:"There is definitely a high statistical significance between the correlation of confidence and interest. And I think what we need to do to encourage that is to offer those [hands-on, career-relevant STEM] classes to all students so that then they can take a look and say, 'oh, yeah, that's something I had no idea was interested in.'""We need to start taking a look at those career-ready practices in every class, even from the time that they're in elementary."3 Big Takeaways from this episode:Creating an inclusive and supportive learning environment is essential for promoting girls' participation and success in STEM: Establishing a culture of diversity and inclusion in STEM education involves breaking down barriers and challenging gender biases. Middle school girls should be able to meet female engineers and scientists, be taught by both male and female STEM teachers, and have access to role models that can help them see themselves in a STEM career.Self-efficacy plays a critical role in shaping girls' perceptions of their abilities and career aspirations in STEM: When girls believe they're capable of succeeding in STEM subjects, they have greater confidence and are more likely to want to take those classes. By promoting a belief in their own capabilities and providing positive role models, educators can empower girls to embrace challenges, persist in their endeavors, and thrive in STEM-related fields.Early exposure and hands-on experiences are essential for empowering girls (and all kids!) in STEM: Schools can't start career prep in high school - it's too late! Instead, elementary school should introduce career awareness, middle school should include career exposure, and high school can move on to career readiness. Learn how BPS is starting career exposure early on with fun, engaging and massively-successful summer camps.Resources mentioned in this episode:To learn more about Bismarck Public Schools, visit: www.bismarckschools.orgMore notes + resources on the show page: https://techedpodcast.com/tabby/Instagram - Facebook - YouTube - TikTok - Twitter - LinkedIn

Bad science is a big problem for society, says guest Jonathan Osborne, an expert in science education, but we don't have to surrender to it. Beating bad science requires young people to learn three skills, Osborne says. First is an ability to size up conflicts of interest. Second, to evaluate a source's qualifications. And third, to more rigorously question those who go against consensus. The whole goal of science is consensus, Osborne tells host Russ Altman on this episode of Stanford Engineering's The Future of Everything podcast.Chapter Timestamps:(00:00:00) Introduction to the EpisodeWelcome to this episode featuring an insightful conversation with Jonathan Osborne about the nuances of scientific argumentation and its implications for education.(00:2:00) The state of science educationThe situation is a pretty dire, and we need to act soon to make sure that we outfit the future generations with the tools they need to navigate truth and falsehoods in science.(00:03:01) The Importance of Science EducationThe role of science education in society and the need for a new approach to science education(00:08:31) Developmental Learning Progression in Science EducationDiscussion on when young people are cognitively ready to understand the challenges of science education.

Mimi Prunella Hernandez has dedicated her life's work to serving as an advocate for both traditional and herbal pathways while building cultural bridges of understanding. As an herbalist she draws upon the influence of her Granny Healers and her background in biochemistry to weave together an herbal practice that's rooted in folk traditions and modern science.In our conversation, Mimi shows us how to think beyond capsules and tinctures and easily bring herbs into our kitchens. The phrase “food is medicine” gets casually tossed around a lot these days, but Mimi really lives by this principle. She weaves herbs into her everyday life: making vinegars, honey, wine, tea, and even frosting with the herbs that grow all around her. Mimi offers us a few of her favorite tips for bringing herbs into the kitchen that we at LearningHerbs are definitely going to start adding to our daily routine — including “Mimi's Mystery House Tea.”In addition to kitchen herbalism, Mimi also shares…How to work with sunflowers and prickly pear cactus as herbal remediesHow to weave together traditional folk herbalism and modern scienceThe importance of native plants for people, pollinators, and plantsPlus, Mimi tells us all about her current project, a National Geographic herb book on 99 plants from around the world.

In Episode #194 I had the great pleasure of sitting down with Professor's David Raubenheimer and Stephen J. Simpson. For over 30 years, David and Stephen, leading researchers from the University of Sydney, have been studying ways in which nature can teach us about the science of healthy eating. How and why we eat, how appetites are fed and regulated - and how, in the end, it all comes back to five appetites.Topics covered include: How Steve and David's project ‘Eat Like The Animals' came about and how they found themselves working together in their field of scienceThe findings from their study on the dietary patterns of locustsThe process by which signals are released that create an appetite for proteinThe negative health outcomes of consuming ultra processed foods and reducing protein intakeWhat happens when you over-consume proteinThe importance of protein qualityChanges in protein requirements as we age and protein supplementationResources:Connect with David and Steve on TwitterDavid's WebsiteSteve's WebsiteGet your copy of Eat Like The Animals Want to support the show?If you are enjoying the Plant Proof podcast a great way to support the show is by leaving a review on the Apple podcast app. It only takes a few minutes and helps more people find the episodes.Simon Hill, Nutritionist, Sports PhysiotherapistCreator of Plantproof.com and host of the Plant Proof PodcastAuthor of The Proof is in the PlantsConnect with me on Instagram and TwitterDownload my two week meal plan

Toda a gente sabe que os nativos do signo Virgem são fadados para o sucesso. Infelizmente Joana é Capricórnio e não percebe nada de astrologia. Quando era mais pequena (ainda) queria ser pintora, felizmente mudou de ideias entretanto, já que o talento que tem agora para pintar é o mesmo que tinha aos seis anos, quando desejava ser a nova Paula Rêgo. Assim que começou a aprender a escrever percebeu que o “foturo paçaria pur aí”, depois aprendeu que se escrevia “futuro passaria por aí” e nunca mais ninguém a parou.

É autor de um livro e de cerca de 200 artigos publicados em revistas internacionais. A sua investigação foi distinguida duas vezes pelo European Research Council. Em 2015 o Presidente da República concedeu-lhe a Ordem de Santiago D'Espada, pelas suas contribuições para a ciência.

Several years ago, I went on a trip to Hilton head, South Carolina, and I woke up in the morning really early and went to the beach. This is something I always do when I am by the ocean, because you get to find some really cool stuff in the morning. And this time I found the best thing ever, or the two best things ever!I saw two baby sea turtles make their way to the ocean. Members of their nest likely hatched the night before, and these two were stragglers. I got to see them make their journey to the ocean. One of the coolest parts was that is that the sea turtles were right in the middle of this tourist spot. And that they were basically co-existing with humans on this busy beach for a short period of time. Ever since then, I've been wanting to talk to somebody about sea turtles conservation and science.I invited sea turtle biologist Dr. Christine Figgener on the podcast who is not only a sea turtle expert, but famous for sparking the movement to reduce plastic straw use. She is the one who took the video of the sea turtle who had a plastic straw up its nose. In this podcast, we talk about everything sea turtles, plastic, and conservation. Specifically we talk about: How Christine got interested in sea turtles and scienceThe steps Christine took to become a scientistWhat Christine does on a daily basisWhat sea turtle research is likeThe biggest threats to sea turtlesEasy tips that you can do to help out sea turtles (all from home)How the straw video went viralHow sea turtle releases can be harmful, why hotels do them, and why you shouldn't support themFor full show notes click here.Get a free chapter of my book “Getting a Job in Wildlife Biology: What It's Like and What You Need to Know” to see how I can help you in your career: https://stephanieschuttler.com/getting-a-job-in-wildlife-biology-book/ Want to learn about cool animals, conservation, and get tips about careers in wildlife biology, science, and more?

We desperately need a common vocabulary about cannabis — and one that's not based on myth and misinformation. Cannabis educator Curt Robbins is doing something about this, with a new project called Higher Learning LV, a much-needed online course for cannabis professionals, as well as consumers. In this episode of our ongoing series of 20-minute segments, we discuss:Data from Oasis Intelligence showing a need for cannabis educationThe general state of confusion and ignorance around cannabis scienceThe need for a common understanding among scientists, regulators and the publicThe fundamentals of cannabinoids, terpenes and flavonoidsHow to learn more about the science of cannabisCurt's LinkedIn profile.  

The hottest book to read right now in body liberation spaces is Fearing the Black Body by Sabrina Strings.  There is a reason for that.  This book is brilliant.  This is the answer if anyone asks for an in-depth discussion of the connection between racism and fat phobia.  Strings goes century-by-century explaining how slowly the ideas of race and the thin ideal became one connected idea about what it means to be black.  I chatted with Natasha Ngindi about this book and as intense as this book is, our conversation highlighted some of the main ideas.  We talked about:Natasha’s body acceptance and food freedom journeyWho is scared of the black body?The fallacies of racial scienceThe connection between racism and fat phobiaThe role of the protestant church in fat phobia and racismThe difference in ideas between popular culture and medicineOur desire to be loved and how that perpetuates the objectification of womenThe role of magazines and social media in creating a thin idealThis discussion is so important and I hope our chat helps you to think about how fat phobia is racist.  Keep reading everyone!Links:Natasha’s websiteNatasha’s InstagramNatasha’s Anti-Diet Merchandise PageFearing the Black BodyI Wish I Were Me Website

In Episode #108 I sit down with Dr David Katz, MD who in my opinion, is one of the greatest voices of clarity in a space of science which let's be frank, is littered with confusion tactics, hidden agendas and bias. This is a great episode which reinforces many of the key principles that I have been sharing with you via social media and on this show for the past 2 + years. It also emphasises the 3 pillars that I look to when making my personal food decisions - the pillar of human health, planetary health and animal welfare.In this episode we specifically talk about:Why an infectious disease pandemic may be what we need to take chronic disease more seriouslyThe number one risk factor for chronic disease in developed countriesWhy debating the little stuff is keeping us from making impact on the big stuffThe characteristics of an optimal dietCan we say what the single best diet isThe importance of the replacement nutrient in nutrition scienceThe use of strawman diets in nutrition scienceShould we eat fish? What are the considerations here?Would adding animal products to an optimally planned vegan diet improve one's healthand much moreI really hope you enjoy the show.

In this episode I had the pleasure to speak to Zack Labe - a PhD candidate in the Department of Earth System Science at The University of California Irvine.Zack's research revolves around the warming of the Arctic region and the degree to which sea ice varies every year. His work is quite popular especially on Twitter particularly because he creates really interesting graphs and GIFs which showcase the science in a visually compelling way that helps drive across the findings of his research.I wanted to chat to Zack to better understand the dynamics of warming within the Arctic, what the seasonal melting and freezing of sea ice actually means, which factors contribute to sea level rise and essentially how scientists work with climate models to analyse the present situation and try to model the future. We also looked at tipping points which is a hot topic particularly if we cross 2 degrees of warming.We spoke quite a bit about the power behind visualizing climate science and I'll make sure to link some of Zack's work in the show notes.To me this conversation shed a ton of light on what scientists do day-to-day, how we can interpret their work and how important it is to understanding the extent to which people are already affected by climate change.ZACK'S RELEVANT LINKSTwitter Profile - https://twitter.com/ZLabeWebsite - https://sites.uci.edu/zlabe/TIMECODES3:55 - His Background & How He Became a Climate Scientist11:54 - How The Arctic Warming & Sea Ice Variations Affect The Rest Of The World16:01 - Tipping Points In The Arctic22:32 - What Factors Lead To Overall Sea Level Rise?24:32 - How Climate Models Work & His Interest In Visualizations38:14 - How People In The Arctic Are Already Affected By Climate Change42:26 - Science Vs Business vs Politics vs SocietyRESOURCES DISCUSSED IN THIS EPISODEEarth system science - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Earth_system_scienceThe impact of Arctic warming on the midlatitude jetstream: Can it?

Guest OverviewBorn and raised in a small isolated California town, influenced by what she describes as a ‘consistent, persistent, and gentle' math teacher father and the ‘artistic and creative' mother, serendipity led her to discover her love of the history of science at Wollongong University in Australia and then commit her life to be a historian of science - is this weeks guest Pamela H Smith. Pamela is a Professor of History at Columbia University and Founding Director of the Center for Science and Society where she leads the Making and Knowing Research Project. In Part two we discuss how Pamela established the Making and Knowing Research Project, its purpose and we discuss the origins of her most recent launch - The Secrets of Craft and Nature in Renaissance France. A Digital Critical Edition and it's English Translation. That might sound dry to many but this is a remarkable sixteenth-century manuscript that contains over 900 recipes for making art objects, medical remedies, and materials for the household and workshop. Pamela explains how the craft workshop practices record extensive first-hand experimentation with natural materials and provide unique insights into the material, technical, and intellectual world of the late sixteenth century and bring a better understanding of how and why nature was investigated, collected, and used in art in early modern Europe. It sheds light on the origins of the natural sciences in the creative labors of Renaissance artists and artisans' workshops. The digital critical edition is an open-source resource is available for anyone to experiment and follow the recipes and directions. We also cover her views of education, failure, persistence and the need to create a more evolved and sustainable economic model. Please enjoy and share this extensive exploration and mind-expanding journey through history of science with Pamela H Smith. What we discuss:Pamela explains the Making and Knowing project and the fusion of disciplines to study the connection between craft and scienceThe emergence of the Royal Society and the first project of interviewing artisans to identify general principlesActive Science vs Certain Science The parallels to the creative class of todayI ask Pamela about her thoughts in imitation and she explains the development of Intellectual property and propriety forms and the nature of our economy. We discuss theory and practice and persistence and the culture of fearing failure.Pamela describes the development of The Digital Critical Edition the verbatim translation of the French Manuscript of over 400 pages of artisanal recipes and makes this open-source and available for the public and artisans. The recreation of the objects that have been created by her students.Interest in the human hand and it's capacity in nature. We discuss the aims of Pamela to facilitate and create a new maker sensibility in today's world and how this could create a new economic and sustainable model based on handwork and craft. Pamela cites examples from India.We also discuss the imperative of embracing new economic models, the need to celebrate diversity, the importance of persistence.

Radio Talking Book can be found at www.MNSSB.org/rtb and the password is rtb. Berkeley scientist designs tools for the visually impaired By Berenice Freedome • Mar 2, 2016 Dr. Joshua Miele's morning commute to Smith-Kettlewell Eye Research Institute takes about an hour—as long as no one gets in the way. In fact, most people move out of his way when they see him coming, because Miele is blind.He’s one of about 140,000 blind and visually impaired people in the Bay Area. Less than three quarters of those people are employed, and only a few work in tech, like Dr. Miele. Uncommonly UniversalHis office in Pacific Heights is full of tactile art, project binders, awards, and audio equipment. On a round meeting table, magnetic building toys sit in a cluster—just something to fiddle with on long calls. This is where Miele does the work he’s uniquely suited to do, designing accessible technologies for the blind.“If you want to design a good boat,” he says, “you don’t ask somebody who doesn’t know the first thing about sailing. Blind people must be integral to the design process, not just as users that do the testing at the end, but as designers and engineers who do the thinking at the very beginning.”Miele says most developers don’t even think about accessibility until it’s too late, because so few are trained in universal design. That’s a design principle that says, ‘find a single solution that will consider the broadest possible spectrum of human ability.’ It’s something Miele strives for every time he takes something on, though he mainly focuses on visual impairment.“I want to build cool stuff for blind people that gives them the ability to do the things that they want to do, and I feel incredibly lucky that I'm given that privilege and opportunity.”He can pretty much choose his projects, too, because Dr. Miele directs his own innovation lab here at Smith-Kettlewell. The Moment Things ChangedBut getting to this place in his life wasn’t easy.“I grew up in New York. I was a sighted kid until I was almost five, and then I was burned in a very violent act where somebody threw sulfuric acid over my head.”That’s the chemical that powers car batteries. A single drop can dissolve concrete. Thankfully, specialists at a San Antonio military hospital were able to save Miele’s life. But not his eyes. His left eye is now a synthetic blue-gray, and as he speaks, the shadow of his right eye darts beneath the scar tissue that covers most of his face, all haloed by his thick, curly black hair. “My personal story is shocking and frightening and painful and often it’s difficult for people to get past that, I think.”Although, he says where he lives, people seem to take it in stride.“Difference and diversity is much more accepted, even embraced here. Being a burned, one-eyed blind guy in Berkeley doesn't even get you a second glance most of the time.” The Pursuit of ScienceThe acceptance he found in Berkeley went inward, too. Coming to study physics at UC Berkeley at age 18 changed his entire outlook. “I met a whole community of cool blind people who I respected and liked and who were creative and smart and funny,” he says. ”I realized that I did want to be a blind person. I could be proud of being a blind person.”Even so, working in accessibility wasn’t Miele’s plan. His dream was space science, so he studied physics and interned at NASA. But every time he took on something new, he struggled. He wasn’t able to do a lot of things that sighted students took for granted, like reading a cafeteria menu, or riding a bike to class. Or, more importantly, being able to use the school’s scientific software, which he had to do, to earn his PhD.“The first thing I had to do as a graduate student in psychoacoustics was to develop a set of sonification and tactile representation tools for this package called Mat Lab. It’s basically like excel on steroids,” he explains. “I needed to be able to look at that data and so I made some software tools that would turn that data into sound and tactile charts."He explains that having to do that much extra preparation for almost everything you take on, gets you thinking.“I started learning more about what types of technologies were available for blind people and realizing that there wasn't enough cool stuff. I realized that I wanted to be the one making those decisions about what access of the future would look like.” Maps for Blind CommutersNow, after working in this field for a couple of decades, Miele says coming up with product ideas is the easy part of his job. All he has to do is pay attention to the ways the blind community is underserved. Like having to navigate things like a busy BART train station, at rush hour. His solution? A complete set of accessible BART station maps.They took ten years to develop and were made in partnership with the LightHouse for the Blind, where Miele did two back-to-back terms as President of their Board of Directors.The maps are designed to accommodate people with all degrees of visual impairment, even if they can't read braille. They also work in tandem with a specially adapted LiveScribe smart pen that has a camera in the tip and a speaker to read out extra map information. The pen is simple to use; you just press it against these clusters of tiny dots on the map, and it reads out things like street names, and where to find escalators, and which bus stops where. That makes it possible for blind people to plan their route before they get to the BART station. Miele explains. “You can say if I'm getting off two doors back from the center, which way do I need to turn to find the stairs, do I turn right or do I turn left? And that information alone is worth the price of entry.” A Keyboard Literally at Your FingertipsOne of Miele’s earlier projects are these electronic gloves that look like something from a sci-fi movie. Thick red wires connect sensors on the fingers to circuit boards at the wrists. They’re called WearaBraille, and the gloves operate wirelessly, so once they’re paired with a device, a blind person can tap or type on any flat surface to send a text, or open apps, or answer a call.The gloves work as plug-and-play with his iPhone. It uses accessibility software called Voice Over to read out whatever’s on screen. Miele runs this kind of screen reading software on all his devices. Voicing Video“Welcome to YouDescribe, a free accessibility tool.”His laptop’s voice tells us he’s just logged on the webpage of his most recent invention called YouDescribe. It’s a technology that addresses a core need: the ability for blind people to watch internet videos using audio description. Description is a second voice-over track that explains any essential visual information, like someone rolling their eyes or throwing a kiss. The tech isn’t that new — it’s been around since 1981, but it was really only done by professional production companies for large movie theaters, or major TV networks. But what do you do when videos start to show up everywhere online? To a blind viewer, most of those videos will sound like little more than music with the occasional door closing or exchange of dialog.It’s an issue since every day, over a billion users watch hundreds of millions of hours of YouTube videos, but only a fraction of them include audio description. “For most people who are putting up videos on YouTube, accessibility is really the last thing on their minds,” Miele says.So once again, Miele’s frustration lead to inspiration. His lab designed a way to let sighted people create description tracks on anything YouTube hosts. Registered users log on YouDescribe.org, find the video they want to share, pause it at the right spots and record themselves explaining how to tie a single windsor, or bake a quiche, or watch Maru the famous internet cat trying to squeeze his puffy body into smaller and smaller boxes. (Or whatever else you might use Youtube for.) Getting Buy In And because YouDescribe uses crowdsourcing to generate content, the described videos are available world-wide, for free. If a blind person wants to watch a specific video, they can tweet it with the hashtag #ydRequest and their message goes out to the community of describers. “I’m really proud of what it is and the possibilities it represents,” Miele says. “It’s a really cool technology.”The FCC agrees. In 2014 they awarded YouDescribe a Chairman's triple A innovation award. But the project’s grant from the US Department of Education has recently ended, which means that Miele needs to find new partnerships so he can continue making the software better, and give it wider reach. Making His WayAt the end of his day, Miele grabs his iPhone and his white cane and heads downstairs to walk the least hilly route to the downtown BART station. Rush hour is only beginning, and the platform is packed. Miele stops at the edge of the crowd. “I’m going to basically do what a sighted person would never do,” he says. Then he turns and presses ahead through the wall of bodies, and a path opens up before him.When the right train arrives, Miele squeezes on board.Once we’re sardined into the full train car with other commuters, Miele explains why he just cut through a packed crowd and then boarded the train despite the lineups.“If you can see you’ll just wait until there’s an opportunity and then slide through the gaps," he says. "But when you can’t see those opportunities, you have to create your own. The only way to do it in any kind of effective way is to either stand around and feel helpless, or to just say excuse me, pardon me, coming through,”It’s a philosophy that Dr Miele uses to navigate his entire life. And by finding these new ways to create opportunities for himself, he’s also clearing a path to success for other blind people.
