Nearly 7 million Americans currently live with Alzheimer’s and by 2060, experts say that number could be as high as 14 million. Scientists are trying to find out how one man has been able to stave off Alzheimer's for 25 years, despite having a rare genetic mutation that, doctors say, essentially guaranteed he’d develop the disease. Pam Belluck of The New York Times joins Ali Rogin to discuss. PBS News is supported by - https://www.pbs.org/newshour/about/funders. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy

Tonight on Horror Hill, host Erik Peabody invites you into an episode that defies logic, science, and perhaps even sanity itself. What begins as an innocent search for stories takes a delirious turn into the realm of the impossible—where forgotten lakes hide secrets older than the world above, and abandoned laboratories harbor creations that should never have drawn breath. In this double-feature of vintage madness, two long-buried tales rise from the depths to confront the limits of human understanding. Explorers push too far into the unknown. Scientists challenge the laws of nature itself. And when the earth finally answers, it answers with teeth. Expect the unexpected. Question everything. "The Monster of Lake Lametrie" by Wardon Allan Curtis – High in the Wyoming mountains lies a lake whispered about in old journals and frontier legends—a place where ancient things still move beneath the black water. When Professor McLennegan and his ailing companion Framingham arrive in search of scientific discovery and fresh mountain air, they instead encounter forces that defy biology, reason, and sanity. As strange upheavals churn the lake and impossible creatures rise to the surface, the professor is drawn toward an experiment that could change the boundaries of life itself. A haunting tale of obsession and awe, this story delves into the price of curiosity—and the thin line between discovery and madness. "The Day of the Dragon" by Guy Endore – Long dismissed by his colleagues and pushed to the margins of academia, Professor Paul Crabshaw dreams of vindication. His quiet resentment turns to dangerous ambition when he embarks on a secret experiment meant to revolutionize biology—but instead awakens something far older, stronger, and infinitely more terrifying than he could have imagined. As the consequences ripple outward, a lone witness recounts the bizarre chain of events that began in a dusty laboratory and spiraled into a nightmare beyond human control. A darkly comedic yet chilling exploration of scientific hubris, this tale asks what happens when myth takes flight… and the world becomes its feeding ground.

XX The Primary Oral Insulin Trial (POInT) is the first large-scale clinical trial to test whether giving at-risk children daily oral insulin could prevent or delay type 1 diabetes (T1D). Conducted by researchers from Helmholtz Munich and the Technical University of Munich across five European countries, the study enrolled more than 1,000 children with a genetic risk for T1D. Results published in The Lancet show that while oral insulin did not prevent the development of islet autoantibodies—an early sign of diabetes—it was safe and well tolerated. Importantly, researchers found that some children who received oral insulin developed diabetes more slowly than those given a placebo, suggesting potential protective effects in certain genetic subgroups.   Further analysis revealed that the response to treatment depended on the child's insulin gene variant. Children with genetic versions that raise diabetes risk appeared to benefit, showing delayed onset of the disease, while those without the risk variant did not. These findings point toward a future of personalized prevention, where genetic screening could help identify which children might benefit most from oral insulin. Researchers will continue following the participants until age 12 to assess long-term effects. The study marks a major milestone in decades of diabetes prevention research, highlighting both the promise and complexity of developing tailored, early interventions against type 1 diabetes. XX Joint US-Chinese research looking at generating new beta cells from stomach cells. Upon turning on the "genetic switch," the human stomach cells were converted to insulin-secreting cells within the mice and resembled pancreatic beta cells with respect to gene and protein expression. Encouragingly, when those experiments were done with diabetic mice, insulin secreted from the transformed human cells helped control blood sugar levels and ameliorated diabetes. The scientists hope that a similar approach can be taken to convert cells from a patient's own stomach into insulin-secreting cells directly within the body. Importantly, additional studies are needed to address if this approach is safe and effective to be used in patients. https://www.technologynetworks.com/cell-science/news/human-stomach-cells-tweaked-to-make-insulin-406694 XX A new study in Nature Metabolism may help explain why children born to mothers with type 1 diabetes are less likely to develop the disease early in life compared to those whose fathers or siblings have it. Researchers looked at nearly 2,000 mothers and their children and found that  kids whose moms have type 1 diabetes show changes in their DNA that may actually help protect them. These aren't genetic mutations, but epigenetic changes — chemical tags that turn certain genes on or off. The study found these changes in genes tied to the immune system and type 1 diabetes risk, suggesting that a mother's condition during pregnancy can shape her child's immune response in a protective way. Scientists identified more than 500 areas of DNA where these changes occurred, many in regions that control how the body's immune system works. Most of the changes appeared to calm down the kind of overactive immune response that leads to type 1 diabetes. Researchers even created a "methylation score" to help measure this protective effect. They say the next step is to confirm these results in more diverse groups and figure out exactly how these DNA changes help prevent early diabetes. https://www.news-medical.net/news/20251110/Maternal-type-1-diabetes-may-protect-children-from-developing-the-disease.aspx XX A new study from Karolinska Institutet and Stockholm University reveals that sons born to mothers with type 1 diabetes may develop early vascular dysfunction—independently of metabolic health. The finding may help shape future strategies to prevent cardiovascular disease early in life.     Children of women with type 1 diabetes are known to be at increased risk of developing cardiovascular diseases. This new study, published in Cell Reports Medicine, is the first to show that the risk is linked to early dysfunction in blood vessel cells in sons, even before any metabolic issues arise. The team is now investigating the long-term effects of maternal diabetes, with a particular focus on why sons seem to be affected earlier than daughters. https://medicalxpress.com/news/2025-11-sons-mothers-diabetes-early-vascular.html XX A new study presented at Kidney Week 2025 has shown that the drug finn-uh-near-own  a nonsteroidal mineralocorticoid-receptor antagonist, significantly reduced albuminuria—a key marker of kidney damage—in people with type 1 diabetes (T1D) and chronic kidney disease (CKD). This is the first major breakthrough for this population in more than 30 years. Researchers found that patients taking finerenone saw a 25% average reduction in albuminuria compared to placebo, an improvement that suggests a lower long-term risk for dialysis or kidney transplant. The phase 3 FINE-ONE trial involved 242 adults with T1D and CKD, and results showed benefits as early as three months. The drug was generally well tolerated, with side effects similar to those seen in patients with type 2 diabetes, though mild hyperkalemia (high potassium levels) was slightly more common. Experts say the findings could change the way doctors treat kidney complications in type 1 diabetes, an area that hasn't seen new therapies since the early 1990s. Currently, treatment options rely on blood pressure and blood sugar management, along with renin-angiotensin system (RAS) inhibitors. Finerenone, which is already approved for type 2 diabetes-related CKD, targets overactivation of a receptor that drives kidney damage. Based on these results, Bayer plans to seek FDA approval in 2026 for use in people with T1D and CKD. Researchers and clinicians alike are calling the study "groundbreaking," noting that it opens the door to future research on how finerenone might not just slow kidney decline—but possibly prevent it altogether. https://www.medscape.com/viewarticle/finerenone-offers-hope-kidney-disease-type-1-diabetes-2025a1000uzi?form=login   XX This week, Tandem Diabetes Care (Nasdaq:TNDM) announced a major milestone for its Mobi miniature durable insulin pump system. San Diego-based Tandem revealed that it received FDA approval for the Android version of its Mobi mobile app. Clearance brings Mobi — which the company describes as the world's smallest, durable automated insulin delivery system — to more users. The pump, which pairs with Tandem's Control-IQ+ algorithm, previously worked with iOS software.   Tandem — one of the largest diabetes tech companies in the world — expects to begin a limited rollout next month, followed by full commercial availability in early 2026. This marks the latest milestone for the company, which continues to expand its offerings and widen its reach within the diabetes patient population.   We had a great interview with Tandem on our previous episode, but as I said at the time, it was coming before their earnings call. So here's an update: The company plans to submit the tubeless mobi to the fda before the end of this year.. possible approval and shipping date is hoped for by middle of 2026. Trials for their fully closed loop next-generation algorithm which we tlkaed abou ton the show should be launched in 2026 The Sigi patch pump will be developed and launched as a next-generation version of the Mobi Great job by Dr. David ? Ahn – he posted on IG after getting a message from tandem CEO John Sheridan? 1. First, the Tandem X3 *is* still absolutely in development, contrary to my speculation In yesterday's video. As many of you appropriately pointed out, there is definitely a market for a 300 unit pump, a pump with a screen, and a pump that does not require smartphone control. So from our brief chat, the sense I got that is that the X3 would be more of a refresh of the X2 with newer components, such as a USB-C connector and better memory, rather than a total redesign from the ground up. In terms of timing, all I could get was that it was "not too far distant in the future," which could mean anything I guess, but at least it's still on the way! 2. Next up, he also reassured me that they are working closely with Dexcom to support the G7 15 Day sensor within the next few months. I suspected as much, but it's always good to hear confirmation. 3. Lastly, he did confirm that Tandem is far along in developing a Caregiver/Follow app to allow the remote viewing of glucose and insulin data from a Tandem pump. He explained that it will be based on Sugarmate, the popular diabetes data dashboard app that Tandem acquired back in Jun 2020. While I don't know if every feature will make it into the Tandem caregiver app, Sugarmate is well-liked for its highly customizable dashboard and highly configurable alerts. Sugarmate even has the option to send a text message or phone call for urgent lows. Regardless, a true follow/Caregiver app will be welcomed with open arms by all caregivers and Tandem users who use Libre 3 Plus. https://time.com/7318020/worlds-top-healthtech-companies-2025/ XX Senseonics submits Eversense 365 – their year long implantable CGM for a CE mark, European Approval and expect to launch there soon. Eversense will be integrated with the sequel twist pump – again I'm hearing soon but no timeline. Intersting to note that one year inseration was approved in the US just about a year ago, so the first patients will be having their CGMs changed out – for the first time – pretty soon. https://www.drugdeliverybusiness.com/senseonics-q2-2025-sales-beat-ce-mark/ XX A confusing study out of Rutgers - these researcher say  metformin reduces some of the key benefits normally gained from regular physical activity. These include improvements in blood vessel health, physical fitness, and the body's ability to regulate blood sugar. Since 2006, doctors have typically encouraged patients with elevated blood sugar levels to combine metformin with exercise, expecting that the two proven treatments would produce stronger results together. However, the new research suggests this may not be the case. In this study, Exercise alone improved vascular insulin sensitivity, meaning blood vessels responded better to insulin and allowed more blood flow to muscles. This matters because insulin's ability to open blood vessels helps shuttle glucose out of the bloodstream and into tissues, lowering blood sugar after meals. But when metformin was added, the improvements shrank. The drug also diminished gains in aerobic fitness and reduced the positive effects on inflammation and fasting glucose. The findings don't mean people should stop taking metformin or exercising, Malin said. Instead, it raises urgent questions for doctors about how the two treatments can be combined and the need for close monitoring. Malin hopes future research will uncover strategies that preserve the benefits of both. https://scitechdaily.com/popular-diabetes-drug-metformin-may-cancel-out-exercise-benefits-study-warns/ XX XX https://www.medtechdive.com/news/Revvity-Sanofi-diabetes-test-Kihealth-seed-round/802133/   XX Dexcom recalled an Android app for its G6 glucose sensor due to a software problem that could cause the app to terminate unexpectedly. The issue could cause users to miss alarms, alerts or notifications related to estimated glucose values, according to a Food and Drug Administration database entry posted Oct. 30. The glucose sensor and the app are still available, but Dexcom required users to update the app to a new version. Dexcom began the recall on Aug. 28. The FDA designated the event as a Class 1 recall, the most serious kind. Dexcom sent a notification to customers in September about the software bug, which applies to version 1.15 of the G6 Android app. To use the app, customers must update it to a new version, according to the entry. https://www.medtechdive.com/news/dexcom-recall-g6-cgm-app/804630/ XX https://www.medscape.com/viewarticle/automated-insulin-delivery-boosts-glycemic-control-youth-2025a1000ub3 XX Tidepool partners with smart ring maker OURA.. press release says: to support a groundbreaking dataset intended to be broadly available for diabetes research, with participation limited to individuals who opt in through Tidepool.         Tidepool will pair biometric data from Oura Ring – sleep, activity, heart rate, temperature trends, and menstrual cycles – with diabetes device data, including continuous glucose monitors (CGMs) and insulin pumps. The result will provide researchers with an unprecedented dataset to accelerate the development of new clinical guidelines, next-generation diabetes technology, and personalized care models.   Recruitment is expected to launch in early 2026 through an IRB-approved study. By opting in to this study, participants consent to sharing their data with Tidepool's Big Data Donation Project, where data is de-identified and, with participant consent, shared with academics, researchers, and industry innovators to accelerate diabetes research. https://aijourn.com/tidepool-collaborates-with-oura-to-advance-inclusive-diabetes-research-through-wearables/ XX Eli Lilly launches two new clinical trials for baricitinib. These phase 3 trials will investigate whether the drug can delay T1D onset or progression and will open for recruitment soon. Baricitinib has the potential to extend the "honeymoon period" of T1D, meaning that it could preserve remaining insulin-producing beta cells earlier in disease progression. More beta cells mean better blood sugar management—and potentially reduced long-term complications. JAK inhibitors, including baricitinib, are already FDA-approved for other autoimmune diseases, such as rheumatoid arthritis, alopecia, and more. JAK signaling pathways are associated with overactive immune responses, so blocking this pathway may turn down the immune response. The phase 2 Breakthrough T1D-funded BANDIT study was key in showing that this drug is safe and effective in T1D. Importantly, baricitinib is a once-daily oral pill—meaning its use is simple and easy.   https://www.breakthrought1d.org/news-and-updates/two-new-trials-baricitinib-to-delay-t1d/ XX   Insulet is taking diabetes awareness into the workplace. Having found 79% of people with diabetes have faced bias or misunderstanding at work, the medtech giant is rolling out a range of resources intended to trigger changes in how workplaces approach the condition. Lots going on for Diabetes Awareness month.. some notables.. Insulet's "The Day Diabetes Showed up to Work" campaign. based on a survey of almost 10,000 people 79% of people with diabetes have faced bias or misunderstanding at work,.   Almost 90% of people with diabetes surveyed reported experiencing barriers at work due to their condition, and more than 40% of people with diabetes and caregivers said they have workplace-related anxiety tied to the metabolic disease. Around one-quarter of respondents reported fears that diabetes could limit opportunities or lead to workplace discrimination and judgment, and a similar proportion of people said they conceal their condition. https://www.fiercepharma.com/marketing/widespread-workplace-challenges-people-diabetes-spark-insulet-campaign XX New directive issued by the Trump administration could mean people seeking visas to live in the U.S. might be rejected if they have certain medical conditions, including diabetes or obesity.   The guidance, issued in a cable the State Department sent to embassy and consular officials and examined by KFF Health News, directs visa officers to deem applicants ineligible to enter the U.S. for several new reasons, including age or the likelihood they might rely on public benefits.   The guidance says that such people could become a "public charge" — a potential drain on U.S. resources — because of their health issues or age.   The cable's language appears at odds with the Foreign Affairs Manual, the State Department's own handbook, which says that visa officers cannot reject an application based on "what if" scenarios, Wheeler said.   The guidance directs visa officers to develop "their own thoughts about what could lead to some sort of medical emergency or sort of medical costs in the future," he said. "That's troubling because they're not medically trained, they have no experience in this area, and they shouldn't be making projections based on their own personal knowledge or bias."   Immigrants already undergo a medical exam by a physician who's been approved by a U.S. embassy. https://www.npr.org/2025/11/12/nx-s1-5606348/immigrants-visas-health-conditions-trump-guidance XX SAN DIEGO---Nov. 14, 2025—DexCom, Inc. (NASDAQ: DXCM), the global leader in glucose biosensing, today unveiled 16 new diabetes advocates to represent people living with diabetes globally as part of Dexcom's World Diabetes Day campaign. The advocates – ranging from ages six to 68, spanning various types of diabetes, and hailing from four continents and five countries – were selected from 1,000 open call submissions based on their experiences advocating for people with diabetes in their communities. While each person's experience with diabetes is unique, they share a common passion for advocacy – and use of Dexcom's glucose biosensing technology. "Through advocacy, I strive to show others, especially children and newly diagnosed patients, that diabetes is not a limitation but an opportunity to grow stronger, inspire resilience and pursue ambitious goals," said Maria Alejandra Jove Valerio, one of Dexcom's new advocates. "What began as a diagnosis at age seven has grown into a lifelong mission to uplift others." This effort represents the first time Dexcom has sourced voices from the broader diabetes community specifically for its World Diabetes Day campaign, reinforcing Dexcom's history of and commitment to giving real people with diabetes a platform to share their story on a global stage. Through engaging, editorial-style portraits and deeply personal stories, the campaign highlights each advocate's personal experience with diabetes, what misconceptions about diabetes they'd like to dispel and how they want to inspire others with diabetes to discover what they're made of. To prepare for the spotlight, the group of advocates met in Los Angeles for a World Diabetes Day photoshoot which included a surprise visit from Grammy-nominated artist, actor, producer and Dexcom Warrior Lance Bass and author, producer, actress and Stelo*Ambassador Retta. This visit offered the advocates an opportunity to exchange stories and personal perspectives on the meaning of diabetes advocacy and how they live it each day. Behind the lens at the shoot was another member of the diabetes community—photographer Tommy Lundberg who lives with Type 1 diabetes. "Directing this photoshoot was nothing short of inspiring. Each of these advocates has a unique an XX On what would have been the 100th birthday of its visionary founder Alfred E. Mann, MannKind Corporation (Nasdaq: MNKD), in partnership with Alfred E. Mann Charities and The Diabetes Link, announced the launch of the Centennial Al Mann Scholarship. The new program will distribute $100,000 in scholarship funds to support at least 10 young adult students living with diabetes as they pursue higher education in life sciences.   Launched in Diabetes Awareness Month, the scholarship program honors Alfred E. Mann's enduring legacy of innovation, philanthropy, and his lifelong commitment to improving the quality of human life through medical advancement. Deeply passionate about giving back, Mr. Mann believed that his success should continue to serve humanity long after his passing, a belief that lives on through this initiative.   Each scholarship recipient will be awarded up to $10,000, distributed in annual installments of $2,500 throughout the course of their studies. Depending on the length of their degree program, recipients may receive between two and four installments (up to the full $10,000 per student). The first awards will be made for the 2026 academic year.   "Al Mann dedicated his life to helping people with serious medical conditions live longer, healthier lives. This scholarship is a reflection of that spirit," said Michael Castagna, PharmD, Chief Executive Officer of MannKind Corporation. "By supporting students living with diabetes who are pursuing careers in the life sciences and adjacent fields, we're honoring Al's legacy and investing in the future of innovation and care.

Mary welcomes Dr. Chris Rupe to talk about that infamous graphic depicting the linear march of ape-to-human that billions know, or accept as, the story of the evolution of mankind. "March of Progress", as the mural is named, has only been around since 1965 and yet generations of students were force-fed this simplistic view of humans and there is no "unseeing" it, even if a picture is worth 1000 (lying, fake, fraudulent, hoax-worthy) words. We chat with Chris about how the theory of evolution is stalled out - if not going backwards)- over bones and fossils. Specifically transitional bones, because if we can't find any layers of ape-to-human proof in the form of fossils, what now? Scientists like to think evolution is not merely a theory but also not an ideology, but we are going to take some time to clear all that up. A fascinating hour with someone who has thought through transitional species, and author of "Contested Bones".   Stand Up For The Truth Videos: https://rumble.com/user/CTRNOnline & https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCgQQSvKiMcglId7oGc5c46A

From a Curious Teen to a Confident Voice in Creation ScienceBorn a Buckeye near Columbus, Ohio, Dr. Georgia Purdom grew up in public school where she got a solid education — but something was missing. The classroom instruction didn't point to the Bible, and the lessons never once started with Scripture. Even as a teenager, Georgia knew she wanted more than just academics — she wanted truth grounded in God's Word.That desire led her to Cedarville University, a Christian college nestled in the heart of Ohio, where she graduated in 1994 with a degree in biology. It wasn't just the labs and lectures that shaped her — it was the biblical worldview woven into every subject.One Truth That Changed EverythingYears later, on a return visit to Cedarville's campus, Georgia had a moment that would shape the rest of her career. She realized the truth that death didn't exist before sin — a foundational biblical principle — and it struck her deeply. That idea, rooted in Scripture, turned her thinking upside down and lit a fire in her heart. If you start with the Bible, everything — from science to society — makes a whole lot more sense.From the Lab to the Lens of ScriptureToday, Dr. Purdom serves as the Vice President of Educational Content at Answers in Genesis, where she's not only teaching others but also defending the faith with a scientist's eye and a believer's heart. She serves as an expert on Answers News, a video YouTube program, where current events and scientific discoveries are unpacked through the lens of Scripture. Whether she's diving into debates about evolution or discussing the impact of artificial intelligence, she brings clarity by always starting with God's Word.Why She Believes What She Believes — and Helps Others Do the SameHer work is about more than sharing facts — it's about helping people understand why they believe what they believe. Georgia knows that the world throws a thousand messages at Christians every day, but her advice is simple and steady: Go back to the Bible. It speaks to every challenge we face, even the ones wrapped in modern-day tech and culture.Recently, she sat down with the Cedarville Stories podcast to share her journey — how a curious young girl from Ohio became a leading voice in creation science. Her path hasn't always been easy, but it's always been purposeful. Every step grounded in truth. Every message rooted in Scripture.And if Georgia Purdom has learned anything along the way, it's this: When you build your life on God's Word, you never walk alone — and you're always on solid ground.https://share.transistor.fm/s/013d7b33https://youtu.be/aUTjITArw6M

Scientists know we remember bad things that have happened far more than we remember good things! The hurtful words of a friend, moments of embarrassment, loss, and hurt. And it makes sense, right? It's our brain's way of helping us avoid danger and not repeat the pain. But what if you could bring the heavy burdens—all the hurt of your past and release it? Jesus said this to His friends long ago, and He's saying it to you today: Come to me, all of you who are weary and carry heavy burdens, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you. Let me teach you, because I am humble and gentle at heart, and you will find rest for your souls. God won't erase your past or magically take away all pain, but because He loves you, He wants to carry it for you and give you true rest. Always remember, there is hope with God. I'm Andrew Palau.

"(Climate modelling)…it's being used in things like insurance companies. It's being used by companies for their ESG assessments. So, when you get your insurance premium at the end of the year, there is some kind of climate model that has said something about the risk of your house to flood. It has said something about your risk to fire. And so that might be driving up your insurance premium…And so it's being involved in your lives in many different ways. The food you consume, those grocery bills, there's prices behind it that are being driven by people using climate models saying something about the supply chain." Maria Caffrey on Electric Ladies Podcast Climate modelling is the foundation of a lot of planning and equations that so much of our economy and policy is based on. So, how does it work and how reliable is it? How can they tell?

Want to share your feedback? Send us a message!Dr. Shahriar SheikhBahaei, Assistant Professor of Neurobiology and Behavior at Stony Brook University, joins host Sara MacIntyre, M.A., CCC-SLP, to discuss emerging research exploring the cellular and neurobiological mechanisms underlying stuttering. Dr. SheikhBahaei shares his journey from lived experience with stuttering to leading a neuroscience research lab investigating how glial cells, particularly astrocytes, contribute to motor control and speech-related circuits.The conversation delves into several recent studies from his lab that utilize mouse models to uncover how alterations in astrocyte function and iron regulation may relate to the neural pathways involved in stuttering. Dr. SheikhBahaei walks listeners through the background, scientific rationale, and key findings of these studies, highlighting what they reveal about the non-vocal motor aspects of stuttering and how this basic science may inform future directions in understanding and treatment.The episode concludes with reflections on bridging laboratory research with the lived experiences of people who stutter and fostering collaboration among scientists, clinicians, and the stuttering community.Resources discussed:SheikhBahaei, S., et al.

His research focuses on how the brain controls complex motor behaviors such as speech and breathing, particularly focusing on the role of astrocytes in neural circuits. Growing up with stuttering has influenced his lifelong pursuit to understand the neurobiology of speech and communication. He completed his Ph.D. in Neuroscience through a joint program at University College London and the National Institutes of Health (NIH). He later became one of the first Independent Research Scholars at NIH, where he established his own lab. At Stony Brook University, he continues to investigate the cellular and circuit foundations of speech disorders while also mentoring the next generation of scientists and advocating for more inclusive perspectives on communication.

An estimated 7 million adults in the U.S. live with bipolar disorder, a mental health condition that causes dramatics shifts in a person's mood. Scientists are still learning all the neurological complexities of the disorder.A University of Minnesota Medical research team was awarded $4.4 million for a first-in-the-world study of severe bipolar disorder. Dr. Ziad Nahas is the executive vice chair and professor in the university's Department of Psychiatry and Behavioral Sciences. He's also leading the study. He joined MPR News host Nina Moini to talk about his team's research on bipolar disorder.

This is the story of a brave and hard working veteran who had to overcome sorrow, pain and life's hard knocks since he was four years old. Yet he was determined to find a way to a path of balance and clarity in life. Rob mentioned that by the time he was a teen, he felt that he'd rather die overseas than stay living with his father and stepmother. Rob served his country for seven years. After attempting to take his life and being assaulted by a senior officer, he decided that it was time to retire. Insomnia was chronic and conventional treatments weren't helping with Rob's mental health issues  Rob decided to head to Asia and more or less loose himself in the culture, nature and face his demons. He explains, "Instead of waiting, I set out on a journey that changed everything.I lived with tribes in the jungles of the Philippines, spent three months as the disciple of a Hindu monk in the Himalayas, trained under a Shaolin master in China, and later joined a troop of spear fishermen in Boracay who hunted in the deep daily to feed their community during the pandemic.The lessons I gathered became the foundation of my book "Unfiltered Wisdom," a raw look at resilience, self-discovery, and mental health from the inside out." His book, "Unfiltered Wisdom," is the result of re-examining himself, his pain, sorrow, sickness and anger. Rob's first contact with me was this email:"I lost my mother when I was four years old on Christmas Eve in 1987 so I didn't really have much of a relationship with her throughout my life because she was gone.However, my father remarried, and I had a stepmother. We had a very complicated relationship, but she did really help my dad get himself back in order and gave us a way better life than my siblings before he had so I'm definitely grateful for her efforts and sacrifice in that regard.I'm interested in talking about my mom but again I don't really know too much about my real mother other than stories that I was told. My stepmother was the only mother that I knew and I'm comfortable to talk about her, but our relationship was very mixed with a lot of love, but I also experienced quite a bit of abuse so I have mixed emotions about it. It might make a good content to expose and talk about the idea of men having a mother wound.This typically drives them to be adverse to committed relationships and to be overly promiscuous because they don't want the risk of being vulnerable with a woman due to their unhealed mother issues.TURN YOURSELF AROUND FROM BEING A VICTIM AND A PLACE OF WOUNDS AND TURNING IT INTO WISDOM, DEVELOPMENT, HOPE AND PEACE AND ACTUALLY BE WHO YOU WANT TO BE."Rob shared so much with me including his journey throughout Asia, he shared "I lived with tribes in the jungles of the Philippines, spent three months as the disciple of a Hindu monk in the Himalayas, trained under a Shaolin master in China, and later joined a troop of spear fishermen in Boracay who hunted in the deep daily to feed their community during the pandemic."The lessons I gathered became the foundation of my book Unfiltered Wisdom, a raw look at resilience, self-discovery, and mental health from the inside out.https://unfiltered-wisdom.com/the-book/ I admire Rob tremendously for all the work her's done to bring himself inner peace. It's an important lesson, that sometimes following conventional protocol for healing isn't beneficial to all. It's clear that bravery and desperation help us face our illnesses/issues but honesty is the most important thing-being honest with yourself and allow others to help.Social Media Links / Website:            •           Facebook:https://www.facebook.com/robert.greene.799034            •           Instagram:https://www.instagram.com/un_filtered_wisdom/            •           LinkedIn:https://id.linkedin.com/in/unfilteredwisdom            •           Website:www.unfiltered-wisdom.com "Should Have Listened To My Mother" is an ongoing conversation about mothers/female role models and the roles they play in our lives.

You're standing on solid ground… or are you? New research has uncovered something shocking: parts of North America's foundation are literally melting away — and it's not from an earthquake or a sinkhole. Scientists used 3D imaging of Earth's interior and found that nearly 37 miles of rock have dripped away into the mantle, like molten cheese off a pizza. The culprit? The ancient cratons — the billion-year-old roots of continents — are breaking down beneath our feet. This video explores how our supposedly stable ground is changing, why it matters, and what it could mean for the future of the continent. Trust us, this is way more important than it sounds.

Science has an incredibly impressive track record of uncovering nonintuitive ideas about the universe that turn out to be surprisingly accurate. It can be tempting to think of scientific discoveries as being carefully constructed atop a rock-solid foundation. In reality, scientific progress is tentative and fallible. Scientists propose models, assign them probabilities, and run tests to see whether they succeed or fail. In cosmologist Andrew Jaffe's new book, The Random Universe, he illustrates how models and probability help us make sense of the cosmos.Blog post with transcript: https://www.preposterousuniverse.com/podcast/2025/11/10/335-andrew-jaffe-on-models-probability-and-the-universe/Support Mindscape on Patreon.Andrew Jaffe received his Ph.D. in physics from the University of Chicago. He is currently a professor of astrophysics and cosmology and Director of the Imperial Centre for Inference and Cosmology at Imperial College, London.

California's next big earthquake could be a real game-changer, especially for the western part of the state. Scientists are keeping a close eye on the San Andreas Fault, which has the potential for a massive megathrust quake. If it hits, the shaking could be strong enough to cause land to sink along the coast, leading to flooding and major damage. This would be a big deal for cities like San Francisco and Los Angeles, which are already dealing with rising sea levels. Experts are urging people to prepare by having emergency kits and plans in place. It's a reminder that living in earthquake country means staying ready for the unexpected!

In this special episode, recorded live at the International Remote Viewing Association Conference, Kelly and Jay sit down for an intimate fireside conversation on one of the most provocative questions in anomalous research: what connects remote viewing and the UFO phenomenon? Bringing together two communities that rarely share a stage, they explore how both challenge the limits of consensus reality and reveal the deeper mysteries of consciousness. From the transpersonal nature of contact to the risks and revelations of psychic perception, the discussion dives into what happens when we stop looking up for answers and start looking within. Along the way, they talk about creative integrity in anomalous storytelling, the role of imagination in perception, and why they believe that remote viewing may be one of the most grounded ways to approach the unknown.  Music for Cosmosis is by Michael Rubino.

Please welcome our first blind scientist and Adventures in Odyssey fan, Lindsay Yazzolino! Lindsay is a cognitive scientist who has been blind from birth. She is on a mission to support diversity and inclusion in STEM. As an audio/tactile design consultant, she has seen firsthand that "informing scientists about the experience of being blind can help them do better science." Thanks, Lindsay, for a great, informative, and "insightful" (pun intended) three-part conversation!

Around 250 million years ago, one of Earth's largest known volcanic events set off The Great Dying: the planet's worst mass extinction event. The eruptions spewed large amounts of greenhouse gases into the atmosphere, temperatures rose globally and oxygen in the oceans dropped. And while the vast majority of species went extinct, some survived. Scientists like paleophysiology graduate student Kemi Ashing-Giwa want to know why, because lessons about the survivors of The Great Dying could inform today's scientists on how to curb extinctions today.Interested in more Earth science?

Humans and songbirds are among a small group of animals that can learn to imitate the sounds we hear. It's an ability called vocal learning that makes language possible. Scientists who study human speech often start with birds that share our vocal learning skills, says neurobiologist Erich Jarvis. On Bring Birds Back, Erich discusses his research into the evolutionary origins — and unexpected benefits – of vocal learning for people and birds.Listen to the full episode with Erich Jarvis in season 7 of Bring Birds Back!More info and transcript at BirdNote.org.Want more BirdNote?

Every second of every day, plants on earth do something miraculous: they take the carbon dioxide from air and turn it into food. With very few exceptions, everything we eat starts out that way. But what if we wanted to cut out the middlemen, re-wild all those fields full of wheat and corn, and manufacture dinner directly from the atmosphere ourselves? Scientists began dreaming of turning air into food back into the 1800s, but it's only recently that dream has become a reality—with results that, depending on where you live, you can already taste for yourself. In this episode, we're exploring the history and science that made this particular sci-fi future real: from a space-age vodka and military-grade yogurt-like substance to surprisingly delicious gas-based butter and bonbons. Join us this episode as we explore the weird science and fascinating history behind this futuristic food, and discover how it might help us save this planet *and* survive on new ones.

Scientists believe that 99% of the estimated 50 billion species that have ever lived on Earth have disappeared through extinction. This is a natural process typically, but it can also be cataclysmic and it's becoming clear we are amid a massive one.
