Newly surfaced documents and reporting are fueling questions about whether a small network of powerful players including Bill Gates, Jeffrey Epstein, and individuals linked to Robert Maxwell's scientific publishing legacy sought outsized influence over how research is distributed and amplified. Emails, investments, and media-funding ties are being cited as potential indicators of an effort to shape which scientific ideas rise to prominence and which get sidelined. The broader issue: who controls the pipelines of modern science—publishing, PR, and perception—and what transparency is owed to the public when power concentrates behind the scenes.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-highwire-with-del-bigtree--3620606/support.

Your eye is a miraculous system of individual parts, all of which work together to provide vision. Light must be collected, focused, interpreted and then translated into signals that are sent to the brain, where the information is further processed and turned into the images we see. For as much as we know, modern science still isn't quite sure how the whole system works.Scientists would like to learn just how vision works so they can build robots that can see. Some experimental robots have been built that can see after a fashion, but even the common housefly can see better than the best machines made by science. Scientists are now studying the fly's eye in order to learn more about how vision works.The fly's eye, with its 3,000 lenses, is remarkably complex and similar to the human eye. There's no sign of evolution here. Even the fly's nervous system, which is essential in translating sight, is highly complex. Each of the fly's 3,000 lenses collects light into a tubular structure. This structure contains eight light‑sensitive cells. These cells process the light and turn it into electrical signals that then go to the fly's brain.It's easy for people to say that there is no Creator. But as soon as they begin to study any living system, they are quickly humbled and eager to learn from it. That in itself is an excellent argument for the existence of the Creator.Proverbs 1:29-31"For that they hated knowledge, and did not choose the fear of the Lord: They would none of my counsel: they despised all my reproof. Therefore shall they eat of the fruit of their own way, and be filled with their own devices."Prayer: Dear Father, I thank You that even when man denies You, You have the last word. Help me to see those actions in my life which deny You as Creator and Jesus Christ as my Savior, and with Your help, make a better confession. In His Name. Amen.REF.: Spice, Byron. Scientific vision.

Scientific evidence is increasingly supporting the theory that the Earth is alive and replete with intelligence. In fact, the wild diversity of earthly organisms exhibits the characteristics that human beings attribute to personhood. How is it then, by the law, that a corporation is a person, but nature is not? What if we expand the anthropocentric boundaries of our systems of laws, rights and responsibilities to encompass ALL living beings? How would this new legal story affect our relationship with our vast other-than-human Earth family? In this episode, we imagine a planet with rights for all, with visionary lawyer César Rodríguez-Garavito. This is an episode of Nature's Genius, a Bioneers podcast series exploring how the sentient symphony of life holds the solutions we need to balance human civilization with living systems. Visit the series page to learn more. César Rodríguez-Garavito, a Professor of Clinical Law, Chair of the Center for Human Rights and Global Justice, and founding Director of the More Than Human Life (MOTH) Program and the Earth Rights Advocacy Program (all based at NYU School of Law), is a human rights and environmental justice scholar and practitioner whose work and publications focus on climate change, Indigenous peoples' rights, and the human rights movement.

This week, we welcome Brian Burk, Territory Manager at Breg, to discuss the high-stakes world of solo sales. Brian breaks down why he views himself as a "Solo Researcher" rather than just a rep, and why he believes the secret to success lies in scientific replication rather than artistic flair.We tackle the dreaded "S.T.A.R. Method" (Stressful Territory Aimless Routing), the importance of "Authentic Dialogue" in managing customer expectations, and why you should aim to be more like a giraffe and less like a raccoon. If you're struggling to keep all the balls in the air without letting your reputation slip through the cracks, Brian's scientific approach is exactly what you need to hear.Support the showScott SchlofmanMike Williams - Cell 801-635-7773 #sales #podcast #customerfirst #relationships #success #pipeline #funnel #sales success #selling #salescoach

In a 2022 paper published in Science Advances, our guest today along with co-authors argued that “Public attitudes that are in opposition to scientific consensus can be disastrous and include rejection of vaccines and opposition to climate change mitigation policies.”So what does this mean? And what are the implications for both science and society?To discuss this I am joined by Professor Nick Light of the Lundquist College of Business at the University of Oregon.About our guest…In his research, Nick applies what marketers and psychologists have learned about consumer knowledge, preferences, and risk perceptions to address problems relating to the public's understanding of science. Nick also studies consumers' perceptions of the simplicity or complexity of brands, objects, and phenomena, and the downstream consequences of those perceptions.Prior to joining academia, Nick worked for about 8 years as a marketing manager and strategist for several Fortune 500 brands in New York City and interned at the United Nations.Nick's website with more information on his research can be accessed here: www.nicklightresearch.comThe paper discussed in the article - Knowledge overconfidence is associated with anti-consensus views on controversial scientific issues - is open access and available here: https://www.science.org/doi/10.1126/sciadv.abo0038More information on University of Oregon Center for Science Communication Research can be found here: https://scr.uoregon.edu/ Hosted on Acast.

We continue our story on Roundup, the Monsanto company's best-selling herbicide. We discuss the evidence linking Roundup exposure with cancer (Non-Hodgkin Lymphoma). In 2017, the 'Monsanto Papers' were released showing that the company was trying to conceal the real health risks of their flagship product, Roundup. We discuss ghostwriting, and how corporate-written research papers about the drug Vioxx contributed to the death of at least 38,000 people. And when it comes to the health risks of Roundup, why do some research papers emphasize its safety, while others highlight its risks of cancer? ‘Bench Talk: The Week in Science' is a weekly program that airs on WFMP Louisville FORward Radio 106.5 FM (forwardradio.org) every Monday at 7:30 pm, Tuesday at 11:30 am, and Wednesday at 7:30 am.

You might remember Alexandra Paul as one of the stars of Baywatch or the Tom Hanks-Dan Aykroyd Dragnet film. You may not have realized that as a child and on to her long trip through the worlds of modeling and Hollywood, she was bingeing and purging and dealing with severe eating disorders. She tells us about her relationship with sugar and what food meant emotionally. Then we're joined by Dr. Cynthia Bulik, one of the top experts on eating disorders in the world today, to talk about remarkable progress in understanding the genetic components of eating disorders. Rather than blame family (especially mothers), peer pressure, or fashion culture, Dr. Bulik says some people are much more prone to developing eating disorders due to the genes they happened to get.

Good morning from Pharma Daily: the podcast that brings you the most important developments in the pharmaceutical and biotech world. Today, we delve into the dynamic landscape of these industries, exploring significant regulatory shifts, scientific breakthroughs, and strategic corporate maneuvers that are shaping the future of healthcare.The pharmaceutical and biotech sectors are currently navigating a period of profound transition. Recent regulatory developments have captured attention, particularly the U.S. Supreme Court's decision to overturn emergency tariffs imposed by the previous administration. This ruling is pivotal as it alleviates financial pressures on the industry, allowing companies to redirect their resources towards innovation and development. It underscores the interconnectedness of global supply chains and highlights the importance of stable regulatory environments for fostering industry growth.In a notable advancement within oncology, AstraZeneca has achieved FDA approval for its combination therapy of Calquence and Venclexta as an all-oral regimen for first-line chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL). This approval not only positions AstraZeneca competitively in the BTK inhibitor market but also signifies a shift towards more patient-friendly treatment regimens. By simplifying therapy, this development promises to enhance patient compliance and improve outcomes, challenging existing standards in CLL care.Meanwhile, internal challenges at the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention have led to a postponement of a critical vaccine advisory panel meeting. This delay occurs amid evolving vaccine policies that have sparked debate within the public health community, potentially impacting immunization strategies and initiatives aimed at bolstering public health.Corporate governance within the industry is also experiencing shifts. Novo Nordisk has nominated two industry veterans to its board as part of an ongoing strategy to align leadership with evolving business objectives. Similarly, Roche is contemplating divesting its once-blockbuster antibiotic Rocephin in response to competitive pressures from generics in Europe. These moves reflect a broader industry trend where companies are re-evaluating their portfolios to better respond to market dynamics and patent expirations.Novartis is making strategic changes as well by selling its stake in Novartis India Limited while maintaining separate commercial and R&D interests in the region. This action highlights a growing trend among pharmaceutical giants towards streamlining operations and focusing on high-growth areas—a strategy aimed at maximizing resource allocation efficiency.Despite narrowly missing a $1 billion revenue target for 2025, Madrigal Pharmaceuticals remains optimistic about the growth prospects of its drug Rezdiifra within the metabolic dysfunction-associated steatohepatitis (MASH) market. The company anticipates further expansion driven by unmet medical needs, underscoring the competitive dynamics within this therapeutic area.In personnel movements that could influence strategic directions, Daiichi Sankyo has appointed former Novartis CMO John Tsai as head of its R&D division. His expertise is expected to bolster Daiichi's focus on oncology and other critical therapeutic areas, potentially accelerating innovation within their drug development pipeline.Meanwhile, Manus Bio has secured a $15 million contract with the U.S. government for domestic supply of shikimic acid, an essential component for producing Tamiflu. This contract highlights efforts to strengthen domestic pharmaceutical supply chains amid global uncertainties—a crucial consideration for ensuring medication availability during crises.In clinical research, a setback was observed with Grail's Galleri cancer blood test trial failing to meet its primary endpoint in collaboration with the NHS. The resulting decline in GrailSupport the show

What if consciousness isn't just in your brain, but in every cell of the universe? In this episode of Mayim Bialik's Breakdown, Dr. Marjorie Woollacott—renowned neuroscientist and leading researcher on consciousness and spiritual experience—shares her personal journey of spiritual awakening. She describes a transformative guided meditation where she felt an electric current flow from her head to her heart, accompanied by an overwhelming sense of love unlike anything she'd ever experienced. Dr. Woollacott dives into the science, the mysticism, and the practical wisdom behind spiritual transformation, including: - Why it's vital to integrate spiritual experiences into daily life and how she finally merged her academic & spiritual paths after keeping them separate for so long - Neural features in the brain that limit access to extrasensory perception, and why some people are born with “their senses wide open” - Why you don't need a scientific explanation to fully embrace the positive transformation of a spiritual awakening - Practical tips to quiet your mind & deepen meditation, even if you've struggled in the past - How connection matters more than ever in challenging global times - Who is more likely to have psi abilities, and how Near Death Experiences can unlock hidden potential - How some people can go beyond space & time if they believe it's possible - Why placebo works & how to balance self-agency with surrendering to the universe - Her belief that consciousness exists differently in dreams & alternate states, and how collective consciousness can create real-world change - The incredible story of a doctor's out-of-body experience during hypnotic regression in an NDE, and what it teaches us about the mind and soul - Scientific argument for why telekinesis could be possible - Importance of finding purpose, noticing synchronicities, and staying “open” to life's hidden signals - Power of prayer & Reiki, and why establishing energetic boundaries between healer & patient is essential Whether you're curious about spiritual awakening, consciousness, extrasensory perception, near death experiences, or the science behind mysticism, this conversation will expand your mind, open your heart, and challenge what you thought was possible.

In this episode of I Thought You'd Like to Know, Marcus Peter of Ave Maria Radio Interviews Stephen Rouhana on his book The King and Queen are Naked: Establishment Failures based on Scientific, Medical, and Psychiatric Research on “Gender Dysphoria” (February 9, 2026)This book is the result of analysis of the literature on Gender Dysphoria published in journals of psychology, psychiatry, and medicine, and in other relevant publications.In part one, Dr. Rouhana starts from basic definitions and leads the reader through the maze of articles and opinions on the subject to the unavoidable conclusion that the gender identity issues underlying Gender Dysphoria do constitute a mental disorder. He examines how the current recommendations in the Diagnostic and Statistics Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM) published by the American Psychiatric Association have been intentionally written to mislead the general public and medical insurance companies.In part two, Dr. Rouhana explores what ethical treatments are, and are not, for Gender Dysphoria given the conclusions from part one.In part three, he explores what the Catholic Church has taught on this topic, from the perspective of faith and philosophy. Each part ends with proposed actions to truly help those suffering with this issue.The King and Queen are Naked: Establishment Failures based on Scientific, Medical, and Psychiatric Research on “Gender Dysphoria” by Stephen W.

What does science actually say about monogamy, desire, and long-term love? Evolutionary biologist Dr. Justin Garcia joins co-host Sue Marriott to deepen our understanding of the myths and realities of modern relationships. From monogamy to consensual non-monogamy, we explore how jealousy and trust function – not as flaws – but as deeply human signals shaped by biology and attachment. Dr. Garcia breaks down how relationships shift over time, especially as we age, and why sexual satisfaction isn't just about frequency – it's about novelty, meaning, and connection. We dive into the neuroscience of intimacy, including the roles of dopamine and oxytocin, and revisit the Kinsey scale to better understand the fluidity of sexual orientation. This conversation is a grounded, nuanced look at how passion evolves, and how couples can intentionally cultivate desire, curiosity, and emotional safety over the long haul. “Humans, the most intimate animal, will always live and die for love. Understanding why gives us the power to find and maintain the loves worth living for.” – Dr. Justin Garcia, a quote from The Intimate Animal Time Stamps for Why Long-Term Love Gets Complicated: A Scientific Approach with Dr. Justin Garcia (291) 00:57 Understanding social vs. sexual monogamy 04:32 The evolutionary perspective on relationships 08:26 Jealousy and relationship dynamics 20:25 Sexuality and aging: A new perspective 28:44 The power of eye gaze and oxytocin 30:30 Understanding aggression: Oxytocin and vasopressin dynamics 39:01 Exploring sexual diversity and the Kinsey scale About Our Guest – Dr. Justin Garcia Dr. Justin Garcia is an evolutionary biologist and international authority on the science of sex and relationships.

Preserving the past, supporting the present, and promoting the future of the translation and interpreting professions--That's the mission of the American Foundation for Translation and Interpretation (AFTI)! Since 1997, AFTI has served as the charitable arm of the American Translators Association. It is smaller in size and scope than ATA, so members and non-members may be unaware of the immense benefits they provide. In this episode, we sit down with AFTI chair, Caitilin Walsh, to talk about the history of the organization, what it is, and the many ways it supports language professionals. Tune in now and find out about AFTI's awards, scholarships, and the next AFTI game night!   AFTI supports charitable activities, education, and research in support of the translation and interpreting professions. They promote this objective by sponsorship and dissemination of research and education in the fields of translation and interpreting through research grants, scholarships, conferences, and commissions for the production of education materials. When you support AFTI, you're promoting a lasting legacy of T&I support, recognition, and excellence for your colleagues and the next generation!   Show Notes: American Foundation for Translation and Interpretation: https://afti.org/ AFTI on LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/american-foundation-for-translation-and-interpretation-inc/about/ S.

This episode is brought to you by the BISA Environment and Climate Politics Working Group. African Climate Futures (Oxford UP, 2025) shows how climate-changed futures are imagined in Africa and by Africans, and how these future visions shape political debates and struggles in the present. Scientific climate scenarios forecast bleak futures, with increased droughts, floods, lethal heatwaves, sea level rises, declining crop yields, and greater exposure to vector-borne diseases. Yet, African climate futures could also encompass energy transitions and socio-economic revolutions, transformed political agency and human subjectivities, and radically reparative more-than-human climate politics. At the heart of the book is an original and interdisciplinary approach. It studies official climate policy strategies and fictional texts side-by-side, as ecopolitical imaginaries that envision low-carbon, climate-changed futures, and narrate pathways from 'here' to 'there'. It discusses net zero strategies from Ethiopia, The Gambia, Nigeria, South Africa, and Zimbabwe and draws on postcolonial, feminist, and queer theory, arguing that Africanfuturist climate fiction can inspire more radical, reparative, more-than-human ecopolitical imaginaries. These stories can help us to understand the debts we all owe, imagine what reparations might entail, and explore the contours of living convivially alongside more-than-human others in heterotopian, climate-changed futures. Stories can help explore how we might feel in climate-changed futures and can help us to narrate a path through them. This book uses Africanfuturist climate fiction to inspire new ways of challenging and enriching theoretical debates in global climate change politics, including how we understand the places, temporalities, ecologies, and politics of climate futures. If we want to survive to tell new stories in liveable futures then we need to urgently and radically transform carboniferous capitalism. Carl Death joined the University of Manchester in August 2013 as a Senior Lecturer in International Political Economy, after four years in the Department of International Politics, Aberystwyth University, and a year in the School of Law and Government, Dublin City University.

Newly released Epstein files reveal a $30 million donation to Harvard's Program for Evolutionary Dynamics, prompting scrutiny over how evolution is used as more than just science. The discussion frames Darwinism as a philosophical weapon, one that replaces God with randomness and erodes moral responsibility, aligning with elite interests that benefit from a godless worldview. Scientific challenges to neo-Darwinism are explored, from frauds like Piltdown Man to modern critiques of genetic information and irreducible complexity. The episode warns that dissenting voices in academia are suppressed to maintain the illusion of consensus.HELP SUPPORT WORK LIKE THIS: https://give.lifesitenews.com/?utm_source=SOCIAL U.S. residents!
