Podcasts about Scientific Reports

En este episodio lo último en salud y fitness edición de julio 2025, vamos a platicar de varios temas que sin duda son bastante interesantes.Veremos si la melatonina puede hacerte más rápido (sí, leíste bien), cómo el ejercicio actúa como un antioxidante natural en tu cuerpo, los beneficios del entrenamiento de fuerza para mujeres mayores con obesidad sarcopénica, qué pasa cuando combinas ayuno intermitente con superávit calórico, y hasta cómo la jardinería en realidad virtual puede mejorar la cognición en adultos mayores.Este mes nos enfocamos en estudios que no solo tienen buena base científica, sino que también puedes aplicar en tu día a día. Mi idea es que al terminar este episodio tengas información clara, basada en evidencia, pero que también puedas usar de inmediato. Sin tanta teoría complicada y con consejos que realmente funcionan.Referencias: 1.      Mahdi, N., Delleli, S., Jebabli, A. & Maaoui…, K. B.

What is sarcopenia and why is this such an important topic for every woman over 40?  That is the topic of conversation today.  What is Sarcopoenia? Sarcopenia is to muscle what osteoporosis is to bone.  Significant loss of skeletal muscle mass and or muscle strength. Sarcopenia is tied to anabolic resistance in midlife women, making it harder to gain lean muscle growth or maintenance after 40. Older adults - both men and women - have to work harder to gain lean muscle mass.  Women have less overall body mass and muscle to begin with and more dramatic reductions in estrogen at menopause, than men experience loss of testosterone.  The key stimulus for muscle protein synthesis, will suffer more from loss of strength and mass if they aren't carefully offsetting it with planned and progressive resistance training.  For women, estrogen protects muscle and bone. We need and use testosterone which is the most abundant hormone in the female body - but it's the decline in estrogen that makes the difference in muscle preservation. What Contributes to Sarcopenia?  Malnutrition. Combined with sarcopenia, it's a predictor of all-cause mortality than sarcopenia alone.  The United States is one of the most overfed and undernourished countries in the world. We're not eating well enough to sustain health.  Sarcopenia is 100% avoidable.  How Do You Measure Sarcopenia? Strength Fat free mass and height Online calculators  There are physical tests or measures that include grip strength or calf circumference.  Women didn't measure or track their skeletal muscle mass decades ago to know where it was at peak. It's harder to say how much mass or strength you've lost.  The Surprising Statistics on What is Sarcopenia On average, muscle loss occurs 3-8% each decade starting at 30. That CAN accelerate during menopause transition. It isn't associated with loss of estrogen driving skeletal muscle protein synthesis down. It's the side effects of the decline of estrogen.  Not sleeping. Struggle exercising as hard or as long  Less support for your muscle from testosterone and growth hormone  Have cortisol, ghrelin and leptin hormone dysregulation that interferes with muscle and fat. We do have the ability to regain lean muscle.  It's proven (and shared in prior episodes) that 85+ individuals can gain both mass and strength.  Available Sarcopenia Assessments: SARC-F  A simple questionnaire that is a good point of reference but an easy assessment if you're active.  How it works: Includes 5 components with scale scores range from 0 to 10: Strength: How much difficulty do you have in lifting and carrying 10 pounds? Assistance in walking: How much difficulty do you have walking across a room, whether you use aids or need help to do this? Rise from a chair: How much difficulty do you have transferring from a chair or bed, whether you use aids or need help to do this? Climb stairs: How much difficulty do you have climbing a flight of 10 stairs? Falls: How many times have you fallen in the past year? Flipping 50 Fitness Scorecard  Helps not only measure strength and muscle mass but to see how you rank according to others in your age group.  Most important is progress, comparing you to you. Start where you are by benchmarking it and learn how to improve it. How is Sarcopenia Diagnosed?

What is Sarcopenia: The New Glossary Osteosarcopenia - low bone mass and low muscle mass Sarcobesity - low muscle mass and high fat mass Osteosarcobesity - low bone mass, low muscle mass and high fat mass  Osteobesity - low bone mass and high fat mass    The biggest risk of sarcopenia is falling due to instability and inability to “right” yourself when slips and falls occur. I promised we'd visit what's possible so here that is: A 1.9-3.3% increase in global muscle mass in humans is associated with a 4.1% to 5.8% lower fat mass and reduced A1c and fasting glucose in studies lasting 2 weeks to 3 years.   How to Avoid Sarcopenia? Resistance train 2x per week minimum, for some that's maximum. Know your recovery needs. Consume high protein foods and micronutrient dense foods at each meal.   Wouldn't it be wonderful if in 30 or 40 years, “What is sarcopenia?” is a question like “What is scurvy or rickets?” now which is never heard of. That starts with us.    References:  Nutrients. 2023, PMID: 38201856. Sports Medicine, 2025, PMID: 40576707. Advances in Nutrition 2025, PMID: 40222723. Scientific Reports, 2025, PMID: 39833326.

Pay attention. Focus on your breathing. Live in the moment. Accept yourself. Do you have a self? Focus on that self. And so on. This is, of course, the practice of mindfulness meditation, which seems to be everywhere: in schools, at work, in apps, and all over the scientific literature.Do any of the claimed effects of mindfulness meditation (relieving your depression!

Human Entities 2025: culture in the age of artificial intelligenceNinth editionThur 5 June 2025, 6.30pm; book-signing session at 6pmPlanta Sapiens: Rethinking Intelligence in the Living WorldPaco CalvoProfessor of Philosophy of Science, Principal Investigator of the Minimal Intelligence Laboratory (MINT Lab) at the University of Murcia (Spain)Our conventional understanding of intelligence has long been shaped by human and animal models, leaving little room to consider the cognitive potential of plants. However, emerging research challenges this perspective, revealing that plants engage with their surroundings in ways that suggest problem-solving, flexible adaptation, and even anticipatory forms of behavior.In this talk, I will present key findings, exploring how plants process information, respond to stimuli, and coordinate their actions through sophisticated signaling mechanisms. Beyond the scientific discoveries, these insights prompt deeper philosophical questions. Why do we struggle to conceive of plants as more than passive organisms? What assumptions shape our tendency to separate the human from the nonhuman, intelligence from instinct, or agency from environment? Our conceptual and linguistic frameworks are often ill-equipped to accommodate the possibility that plants, too, participate in the web of cognition. By questioning these biases, we open the door to a more expansive and inclusive view of life; one that recognizes intelligence as a broader, more distributed phenomenon across biological systems. This shift in perspective not only deepens our understanding of plants but also challenges us to rethink fundamental ideas about mind, perception, and the interconnected nature of all living beings.Paco CalvoProfessor of Philosophy of Science, Principal Investigator of the Minimal Intelligence Laboratory (MINT Lab) at the University of Murcia (Spain). His research interests range broadly within the cognitive sciences, with special emphasis on plant intelligence, ecological psychology and embodied cognitive science, robotics and AI. He uses time-lapse photography to explore perception-action and learning in plants. His scientific articles have appeared in Annals of Botany, Biochemical and Biophysical Research Communications, Frontiers in Neurorobotics, Frontiers in Robotics and AI, Journal of the Royal Society, Plant, Cell & Environment, Plant Signaling & Behavior, Scientific Reports, and Trends in Plant Science, among other journals.

Prehistoric people may have hunted and killed other members of their own species and eaten them, but probably not for food.史前的人可能已经狩猎并杀死了自己物种的其他成员并食用它们，但可能不是为了食物。That is what a new study written by James Cole of the University of Brighton in England says. Cole says compared to large animals, humans do not provide much food. His study was published in the journal Scientific Reports.这就是英格兰布莱顿大学的詹姆斯·科尔（James Cole）撰写的一项新研究。 科尔说，与大型动物相比，人类没有提供太多食物。 他的研究发表在《科学报告》杂志上。Cole studied nine places where fossils have been found and where researchers have found evidence of cannibalism. Such signs include cutting marks on the bones.科尔研究了发现化石的九个地方，研究人员发现了食人的证据。 这样的迹象包括在骨骼上切割痕迹。Scientists dated the sites to between 14,000 and more than 900,000 years ago. That is the so-called Paleolithic period, also known as the Stone Age.科学家将这些地点的日期约为14,000至90万年前。 那是所谓的旧石器时代，也称为石器时代。Five of the sites had Neanderthal fossils, the remains of earlier human ancestors. Two sites had fossils of prehistoric members of our own species and the others had fossils from much earlier human ancestors.其中五个地点有尼安德特人的化石，这是较早的人类祖先的遗迹。 两个地点有我们自己物种的史前成员的化石，而其他物种的化石是从较早的人类祖先的化石。Cole estimated how many calories each of the bodies at each site had. He used earlier studies that found eating an average-sized modern-day human could provide up to 144,000 calories. He then made his estimates, based on the ages of the bodies at the sites.科尔估计每个地点的每个尸体都有多少卡路里。 他使用了早期的研究，发现一个普通大小的现代人类可以提供多达144,000卡路里的热量。 然后，他根据现场的尸体年龄进行了估计。The researcher found that the hunters would not get as much energy from the humans as they would from one large animal -- like a mammoth, a woolly rhino or a bear. So, Cole asked, why would the early humans hunt and kill their own species?研究人员发现，猎人不会从人类那里得到像从一只大动物那样的能量 - 例如猛mm，羊毛犀牛或熊。 因此，科尔问，为什么早期的人类会狩猎和杀死自己的物种？“You're dealing with an animal that is as smart as you are, as resourceful as you are, and can fight back in the way you fight them,” Cole noted.科尔指出：“您正在与像自己一样聪明的动物打交道，像您一样足智多谋，可以反击他们的方式。”He says our ancestors may have eaten members of their species who had died because they did not have to be hunted. But he says cannibalism probably took place for reasons other than the need for food. He said it could have happened after times of violence or to defend territory.他说，我们的祖先可能已经吃掉了死亡的物种成员，因为他们不必被猎杀。 但是他说，出于食物的需要，可能是出于其他原因而发生的。 他说，这可能是在暴力或捍卫领土后发生的。Tim White of the University of California, Berkeley and Paola Villa of the University of Colorado Museum in Boulder said they do not know any scientists who believe our ancestors hunted each other for food. In an email, Villa said the new study “does not change our general understanding of human cannibalism.”加州大学，伯克利分校的蒂姆·怀特（Tim White）和博尔德分校博物馆的波拉维拉（Paola Villa）说，他们不认识任何科学家相信我们的祖先互相追捕食物。 维拉在一封电子邮件中说，这项新研究“不会改变我们对人类食人的一般理解”。But Palmira Saladie, of the Catalan Institute for Human Paleoecology and Social Evolution near Barcelona, Spain, said Cole's study “will undoubtedly be key in the interpretation of new sites (and) the reevaluation of old interpretations.”但是西班牙巴塞罗那附近的加泰罗尼亚人类古生态学与社会进化研究所的帕尔米拉·沙拉（Palmira Saladie）表示，科尔的研究“无疑将是对新地点的解释（和）重新评估旧解释的关键。”In an email, she wrote that, to understand why our ancestors sometimes ate each other, “we still have a long way to go.”她在一封电子邮件中写道，要理解为什么我们的祖先有时会互相吃，“我们还有很长的路要走。”

This month we are discussing a paper published in Scientific Reports (part of the prestigious Nature group of peer-reviewed scientific journals) about the impact of crochet on attention.You can read the full paper here.This is a study by neurologists into how crochet impacts on attentional networks. It combines brain imaging with an interesting experimental design. It is a complex read, involving a lot of neuro-speak but we've tried to summarise it in a way that hopefully makes it easy to understand the methods and findings. We have also created a blog to help illustrate the methods and design used, which you can find here.Citation: Rossi Sebastiano, D., Muscio, C., Duran, D. et al.

In this video, Dr. Ettensohn examines the growing claim that Narcissistic Personality Disorder (NPD) is almost entirely genetic, offering a critical, clinically grounded reflection on what the current science actually supports—and where it falls short. He discusses how genetic contributions to personality traits are often misunderstood, and why claims of “hardwired narcissism” oversimplify a profoundly complex developmental process. Drawing from empirical research, neurodevelopmental theory, and clinical observation, Dr. Ettensohn explores how narcissistic pathology emerges not simply from temperament, but from early relational experiences—especially chronic emotional neglect, inconsistent attunement, and conditional regard. He addresses how brain plasticity, diagnostic controversies, and the misunderstood vulnerable core of NPD further complicate the genetic narrative. This video offers a nuanced perspective for anyone seeking to understand NPD beyond reductive models, emphasizing the importance of relational context, developmental history, and psychological depth.

Une étude internationale récente, soutenue par le CNRS et publiée en avril 2025 dans Scientific Reports, a révélé que les femmes entendent en moyenne mieux que les hommes. Cette recherche, menée par le Centre de recherche sur la biodiversité et l'environnement (CRBE) à Toulouse en collaboration avec l'Université de Bath, a évalué la sensibilité cochléaire de 448 adultes âgés de 18 à 55 ans, répartis dans 13 populations à travers le monde, notamment en Équateur, en Angleterre, au Gabon, en Afrique du Sud et en Ouzbékistan.Les chercheurs ont utilisé une technique appelée émissions otoacoustiques transitoires (TEOAE) pour mesurer la sensibilité de l'oreille interne. Cette méthode consiste à envoyer des sons brefs dans l'oreille et à enregistrer les réponses acoustiques produites par la cochlée, fournissant ainsi une mesure objective de la sensibilité auditive sans nécessiter de réponse active du participant.Différence entre les sexes : Les femmes ont montré une sensibilité auditive supérieure de 2 décibels en moyenne par rapport aux hommes, et ce, dans toutes les populations étudiées. Facteurs influents : Le sexe est apparu comme le facteur le plus déterminant dans la variabilité de l'audition humaine, suivi par l'environnement, puis l'âge et enfin la latéralité (oreille gauche ou droite). Influence de l'environnement : Les personnes vivant en milieu urbain présentaient une sensibilité accrue aux hautes fréquences, probablement en raison du bruit ambiant constant des villes. En revanche, celles vivant en forêt tropicale avaient une meilleure sensibilité auditive globale, tandis que les populations en haute altitude montraient une sensibilité réduite, possiblement liée à des adaptations physiologiques à l'altitude. Les chercheurs suggèrent que cette différence entre les sexes pourrait être due à des facteurs biologiques tels que l'exposition hormonale pendant le développement embryonnaire ou à des différences structurelles dans l'anatomie cochléaire. De plus, les femmes ont également obtenu de meilleurs résultats dans des tests de perception de la parole, indiquant une capacité accrue à traiter les informations auditives. Bien qu'une meilleure sensibilité auditive puisse sembler avantageuse, elle pourrait également rendre les femmes plus susceptibles aux effets négatifs du bruit environnemental, tels que les troubles du sommeil ou les maladies cardiovasculaires. Cette étude souligne l'importance de considérer à la fois les facteurs biologiques et environnementaux dans la compréhension de l'audition humaine. Hébergé par Acast.

Selon une enquête menée par FACCO/Kantar en 2023, près de 52 % des foyers français possèdent au moins un animal domestique. Le chat arrive en tête du classement : plus de 15 millions de chats vivent aujourd'hui dans les foyers de l'Hexagone, contre environ 7,5 millions de chiens. Cette popularité féline a un revers inattendu : selon une étude publiée dans la revue Scientific Reports, le chat est l'animal qui perturbe le plus le sommeil de ses propriétaires.Réalisée en Suède, l'étude a analysé les habitudes de sommeil de plus de 5 500 adultes. Les chercheurs ont constaté une association significative entre la possession d'un chat et le fait de ne pas atteindre les 7 heures de sommeil par nuit recommandées pour les adultes. L'odds ratio ajusté (mesure du risque relatif) s'élevait à 1,18 (IC 95 % : 1,02–1,37), ce qui signifie que les propriétaires de chats avaient environ 18 % de risques en plus de manquer de sommeil par rapport aux non-propriétaires...

The scientific report on the effects of media coverage on prospective jurors in Latah County examined the impact of pretrial publicity on the jury pool for the Bryan Kohberger case. Kohberger, accused of murdering four University of Idaho students, has been the subject of extensive media coverage, which has raised concerns about the potential bias among jurors.Key points from the report include:Media Influence: The report highlighted how pervasive media coverage can shape public perception, often leading to preconceived notions of guilt or innocence. This is particularly problematic in high-profile cases like Kohberger's, where intense media scrutiny can taint the jury pool.Survey Findings: A survey conducted by a trial consultant on behalf of the defense indicated that the more someone knew about the case, the more likely they were to believe Kohberger was guilty. This survey included questions that incorporated both true and false information to gauge the extent of misinformation and its effect on potential jurors.Pretrial Publicity: The report underscores the difficulty of finding unbiased jurors in Latah County due to the saturation of media coverage. It suggests that prospective jurors exposed to extensive pretrial information are more likely to have formed opinions about the case.Defense Strategy: The defense team used the survey data to argue for a change of venue, claiming that an impartial trial would be difficult to achieve in Latah County. They contended that the media coverage had created a presumptive bias against Kohberger, necessitating the trial to be moved to a different location to ensure fairness.Judicial Response: The court acknowledged the potential impact of media coverage on jurors and temporarily halted the survey to review its methodology and ensure compliance with non-dissemination orders. The defense argued that continuing the survey in other counties was crucial for a comparative analysis to determine an appropriate venue for the trial.These findings reflect the complex interplay between media coverage and the judicial process, emphasizing the need for careful consideration to maintain the integrity of the legal proceedings​.(commercial at 7:41)to contact me:bobbycapucci@protomail.comsource:072224-Memorandum-Support-MCoV.pdfBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-moscow-murders-and-more--5852883/support.

Have you ever felt like you just breathe easier when you step outside? There's a reason for that—and it's much deeper than simply “liking” nature. In this episode, we dive into why humans are biologically wired to crave nature and what happens when we ignore that inner pull for too long. We'll explore the science behind Nature Deficit Disorder, the powerful mind-body effects of spending time outside, and how reconnecting with the natural world can support emotional, metabolic, and immune health—especially after breast cancer. You'll hear about: What Nature Deficit Disorder is and why it matters The science behind our innate drive to seek connection with the earth How chronic indoor living impacts your stress levels, sleep, mood, and immunity Why just 120 minutes of nature exposure per week can boost your health (Scientific Reports study) What happens in your brain when you spend time outside (NIH article on reduced rumination) Practical, simple ways to reconnect with nature no matter where you live

Las mañanas de RNE con Josep Cuní se fija, en la noticia científica, en un descubrimiento arqueológico. Investigadores nacionales e internacionales han hallado evidencias en Burgos de que neandertales y homo sapiens coexistieron en la península Ibérica hace alrededor de 45.000 años. El estudio, publicado por la revista Scientific Reports, revela que ambas especies se cruzaron y tuvieron descendencia fértil dando lugar a lo que ahora se conoce como cultura arlanciense. Un reemplazo gradual y complejo, una Edad de Oro dados los importantísimos avances que se produjeron. Lo comentamos con Manuel Rojo, líder de la investigación y catedrático de Prehistoria en la Universidad de Valladolid.Escuchar audio

The scientific report on the effects of media coverage on prospective jurors in Latah County examined the impact of pretrial publicity on the jury pool for the Bryan Kohberger case. Kohberger, accused of murdering four University of Idaho students, has been the subject of extensive media coverage, which has raised concerns about the potential bias among jurors.Key points from the report include:Media Influence: The report highlighted how pervasive media coverage can shape public perception, often leading to preconceived notions of guilt or innocence. This is particularly problematic in high-profile cases like Kohberger's, where intense media scrutiny can taint the jury pool.Survey Findings: A survey conducted by a trial consultant on behalf of the defense indicated that the more someone knew about the case, the more likely they were to believe Kohberger was guilty. This survey included questions that incorporated both true and false information to gauge the extent of misinformation and its effect on potential jurors.Pretrial Publicity: The report underscores the difficulty of finding unbiased jurors in Latah County due to the saturation of media coverage. It suggests that prospective jurors exposed to extensive pretrial information are more likely to have formed opinions about the case.Defense Strategy: The defense team used the survey data to argue for a change of venue, claiming that an impartial trial would be difficult to achieve in Latah County.

Cluster-Based Psychological Phenotyping and Differences in Anxiety Treatment OutcomesIn this episode, Dr. Jud Brewer and colleagues explore how machine learning and psychological phenotyping can optimize treatment for anxiety disorders. Through a groundbreaking study involving app-based mindfulness training, participants were grouped into three psychological phenotypes: "severely anxious with body/emotional awareness," "body/emotionally unaware," and "non-reactive and aware." The study demonstrates how cluster membership significantly influences treatment outcomes, with two phenotypes showing marked improvements in anxiety symptoms. This research sets the stage for personalized medicine in mental health, offering low-cost, scalable solutions to match individuals with tailored interventions for better results.Full Reference:Taylor, V.

Big birds with bitty brains are still kind of brightWe've learned a lot about the remarkable intelligence of birds like crows and parrots, but not much work has been done on large flightless birds. A new study that explored the problem-solving abilities of emus, ostriches and rheas suggests that some of these birdy behemoths have impressive cognition too. In a first-of-its-kind study, a team led by University of Bristol's Fay Clark trained the birds to use puzzles to get food, and they found that the rheas and emus were able to solve the puzzle easily, though the ostriches did not. The research was published in the journal Scientific Reports.Cows jump over the moon — maybe humans should tooResearchers have done a lot of work to try and understand how astronauts can best prepare for and compensate for the muscle and bone atrophy that they will experience after long periods in zero G. A new study, led by Marco Chiaberge at Johns Hopkins University, suggests that a workout that includes jumping might be beneficial. The researchers found that by training mice to repeatedly jump up from one level to another increased their knee cartilage thickness by 26 per cent. The research was published in the journal npj Microgravity.Mary had a little lamb – 11,000 years agoSheep are among the animals that humans domesticated first, in the middle east during the dawn of agriculture. A new genetic study of hundreds of ancient sheep remains, which date across 12 millennia, is shedding light on the intertwined history of sheep and humans. The work, led by geneticist Dan Bradley of Trinity College Dublin, tells the story of how the sheep's domestication not only gave us clothes but also milk and meat which fueled our spread around the world for thousands of years, and how humans molded sheep by selecting them for colour and wool. The research was published in the journal Science.A tiny great ape lived in Europe 12 million years agoThe tiniest member of the great ape family — the group that today includes the chimpanzees, orangutans, bonobos, gorillas, and us — has been identified from fossils found in Germany. Nearly 12 million years ago, the 10-kilogram animal would have shared its environment with another, larger great ape species, something researchers didn't think was possible. David Begun, a paleoanthropologist at the University of Toronto, said its two fossilized teeth and a single knee bone indicated that Buronius manfredschmidi had its own ecological niche high up in the trees. The study was published in the journal PLOS One. The recipe for finding life on other planetsIn the last two decades we've discovered literally thousands of planets orbiting nearby stars. And our technology has advanced to the point where we're on the cusp of being able to investigate whether there's life on those planets. We speak to astrophysicist Lisa Kaltenegger, the founder of Cornell University's Carl Sagan Institute, about her work trying to answer that question, and her book Alien Earths: Planet Hunting in the Cosmos.

Scientists are recruiting elephant seals to learn more about the oceans' twilight zoneBelow about 200 metres there's still a lot going on in the ocean, but it's tremendously hard to observe and understand even with modern technology. Scientists from the University of California, Santa Cruz have maintained a long-term monitoring study of elephant seals. The team, including PhD candidate Allison Payne, has discovered they can use the seals as scientific sentinels, to help humans better understand the conditions of the dark deep sea. The research was published in the journal Science.A cave in Poland reveals a grisly history of stone-age cannibalismA detailed study of the remains of ten individuals who lived — and died — 18,000 years ago in Poland has revealed that they were butchered and probably eaten as the final act in a prehistoric conflict. Characteristic cut marks on their skulls and bones show that they were systematically de-fleshed, before their fragmented remains were tossed aside. This research was led by Francesc Marginedas, a PhD candidate at the Catalan Institute of Human Palaeo-ecology and Social Evolution in Tarragona, Spain.  Their research was published in Scientific Reports.Our ears are weird. Is that just because they're gills?Evolution tends to repurpose things, even as it massively transforms organisms outwardly. A fascinating example is the new finding that the unique cartilage in our external ears seems to have once been gill tissue from our ancient fish ancestors. Gage Crump from the University of Southern California made the discovery using a series of gene-editing experiments on zebrafish. The research was published in the journal Nature.Rabbits replenish their calcium by digesting their teethRabbit teeth constantly grow during the life of the rodents, which means they need calcium to regrow them. A new study suggests that one of the ways rabbits supply calcium for their teeth is by ingesting and recycling the tooth material that grinds off as they chew.  Dr. Johanna Mäkitaipale is a veterinary orthopedic surgeon and a postdoctoral researcher at the University of Helsinki, Finland. She led this research that was published in The Veterinary Journal.Is dark energy dying? A new theory suggests that the universe has different time zonesFor more than two decades, cosmologists have been invoking the idea of a mysterious dark energy to explain observations that appeared to show an acceleration in the expansion of the universe. But more recent observations are adding weight to a different theory that does away with the dark energy. Ryan Ridden, an astronomer from the University of Canterbury, said the “timescape theory” suggests time simply runs differently in the large empty regions of the universe. Their study is in the journal Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society.

On this episode we talk to Max Justice from Setas Mushrooms — the innovator behind MyCoffin, biodegradable coffins made of mycelium and industrial hemp. Justice is the co-founder and CEO of Setas Eternal Living, a company that offers people a sustainable end-of life solution — with aspirations to disrupt the death industry with affordable and sustainable options. For Justice, Setas Eternal Living was logical next step in his fungus journey. He and his wife started Setas Mushrooms on their farm in Greencastle, Pennsylvania, after discovering the healing power of mushrooms during his wife's illness. Fungus changed their lives forever. In this episode we'll hear about the process of making coffins from mycelium and hemp and how this product compares to traditional burial vessels. Compared to traditional caskets that will take centuries to breakdown, Justice's coffin will biodegrade in just a few years, making it a good option for green burial.   Learn More: Setas Eternal Living https://www.setaseternalliving.com/ Setas Mushrooms https://setasmushrooms.com/ Green Burial Council https://www.greenburialcouncil.org/ Watch the WGAL News Video https://www.wgal.com/article/south-central-pennsylvania-farm-grows-mushroom-coffins/63364893 News Nuggets Shapiro Administration Announces Recipients of the Nation's First Agricultural Innovation Grant https://www.pa.gov/governor/newsroom/2025-press-releases/shapiro-administration-announces-recipients-of-the-nation-s-firs.html The public is encouraged to submit written comments to HHS and USDA related to the Scientific Report of the 2025 Dietary Guidelines Advisory Committee to inform the development of the Dietary Guidelines for Americans, 2025-2030. https://www.dietaryguidelines.gov/public-comment-departments Unfazed and confused, Sutter County extends ban on industrial hemp despite grower push-back= https://www.sacbee.com/news/local/article299400029.html Thanks to our sponsors: IND HEMP Americhanvre Kings Agriseeds Forever Green Music Courtesy of Tin Bird Shadow
