    Speak Up For The Ocean Blue
    What Happens When Whales Can't Hear Their Families?

    Speak Up For The Ocean Blue

    Pilot whales rely on sound for nearly every aspect of their lives. They use vocalizations to communicate with family members, coordinate movements, find food, and navigate through their environment. But what happens when the ocean becomes so noisy that those sounds are drowned out? In this episode of How to Protect the Ocean, we explore new research suggesting that commercial shipping noise in the Strait of Gibraltar may be interfering with the ability of pilot whales to hear and communicate with one another. The Strait of Gibraltar is one of the busiest shipping routes on the planet, connecting the Atlantic Ocean to the Mediterranean Sea. Every day, hundreds of vessels move through these waters, generating a constant background of underwater noise. Scientists are increasingly concerned that this noise pollution is masking whale calls, forcing animals to change how they communicate and potentially affecting their ability to stay connected with their social groups. For highly social species like pilot whales, losing the ability to communicate effectively could have serious consequences. In this episode, Andrew Lewin breaks down why sound is so important in the ocean, how human activities are changing underwater soundscapes, and what can be done to reduce noise pollution. You'll learn why scientists consider sound an essential part of marine habitat, how quieter ships could help protect marine mammals, and why ocean conservation is about more than just protecting physical spaces. If you've ever wondered how something as invisible as noise can impact whale survival, this episode is for you.

    Every AI breakthrough you've heard of, ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, traces back to a single 1943 paper, and its co-author was a homeless teenage runaway who never finished high school. Walter Pitts taught himself Greek, Latin, and the foundations of modern logic in a Detroit public library, corrected Bertrand Russell's math by letter at age 12, and was taken in by a 45 year old scientist who treated him like a son. He helped found the architecture behind every neural network in existence at 19, and then a single lie destroyed every relationship he had, sending him into a 17 year drinking spiral that ended in a Cambridge boarding house in 1969. In this solo episode, I tell the full story of how Pitts' partnership with neurophysiologist Warren McCulloch produced the unbroken ancestor of the perceptron, backpropagation, and the transformer architecture behind today's large language models, and what happened when a fabricated accusation cut him off from every mentor he had. I lay out the specific conditions, free public libraries, mentors willing to take prodigies seriously, intellectual communities small enough to recognize raw talent, that made a mind like his possible, why those conditions have been dismantled, and what I call the cognitive class war: the widening gap between the small number of people capable of directing artificial intelligence and everyone else whose future it will shape.

    What if the thing that helps you run faster now also protects you from becoming fragile later?In this episode, I break down VO2 max in the most practical way possible: what it is, why runners should care, how much your watch can actually be trusted, and why the number matters for way more than race performance. We get into the difference between VO2 max, threshold, running economy, zone 2, hard intervals, and field testing. And we do it all without turning it into a science textbook.The bigger idea is simple: VO2 max is not just about running faster. It is about building a higher ceiling now so you have more room to perform, recover, age well, and avoid becoming fragile later. We also cover the workouts that actually move the needle, why easy running alone is probably not enough if you are time-poor, and how to start adding VO2 max work without blowing yourself up.Timestamps[00:01:46] Vo2 Max Defined[00:03:42] What's The difference between watch and mask treadmill lab test[00:05:20] Use This To Improve Your Vo2 Max Now[00:07:11] Why Vo2 Max isn't the only metric to make you a better runner[00:07:51] Brady's back story and his Vo2 Max of 80[00:08:54] Is the Car Analogy the best for Vo2 Max?[00:10:12] Ignore Your Smart Watch and Focus on the Bigger Zoomed out Story[00:11:26] Take These After Vo2 Max Runs To Recover Better[00:14:39] Why Low Carb Won't Get You To your Best Time[00:15:55] Difference between Threshold & Vo2 Max HR zones[00:18:18] Can you improve Vo2 Max by not doing zone 4 work?[00:18:58] Physiology is a spectrum not an exact[00:20:42] Don't Rely on 220 Minus Age for Max HR Number[00:22:42] Do You Have To Run at a Certain Speed/Force to Improve Vo2 Max?[00:26:16] How can someone go and test their Vo2 Max?[00:27:45] Does Doing The Mile Help Improve Vo2 Max?[00:28:37] Is it Good to do a Vo2 Max & Threshold Lab Test Same Time?[00:29:25] Why Vo2 Max & Longevity are so connected[00:31:17] Why Fit Trained 60yo Are Healthier than Sedentary 30yo[00:35:30] Why Low Vo2 Max on Older People is so Dangerous[00:41:08] Zone 2 vs Vo2 Max Training and Fitness[00:43:43] Is Zone 3, 4 and 5 better for Time Strapped Runners?[00:46:12] Higher intensity training is 9 times more effective than low intensity[00:47:58] What Vo2 Max Number is Best to Target?[00:51:34] Why Norwegian 4x4 is the best for beginners with Vo2 Max[00:53:33] Is 30 sec on 20 sec off good for new vo2 max runners?[00:56:14] Should Vo2 Max Intervals go over 5 minutes[00:57:48] Does Vo2 Max Stop Improving after 6 Weeks[00:59:50] Why There Is Not Such Thing a Non Exercise Responder[01:02:13] How a New Runner Can Get Used to Vo2 Max Efforts[01:06:06] Starter 3 Days a Week Build Your Vo2 Max Plan[01:09:06] Is This a Vo2 Max Workout?

He is developing treatments for neurological and neurodegenerative disorders using stem cells and stem cell-derived products, such as extracellular vesicles. These are tiny vesicles secreted by stem cells that carry microRNAs and proteins. Once they make their way into the brain, they can induce beneficial changes in neural cells to improve brain function. Science takes up a lot of Ash's time, but when he's able to get a moment to himself, he enjoys spending time with family, cycling on a stationary bicycle, playing brain games like Sudoku, and going out to see movies at the theater. Ash earned his Ph.D. in Neuroscience from the All India Institute of Medical Sciences in New Delhi, and he completed postdoctoral research at Montana State University and Duke University. Afterward, he joined the faculty at Duke University in the Division of Neurosurgery. He joined the faculty at Texas A&M University College of Medicine in 2011. In 2024, he was honored with the University Distinguished Professor Award from Texas A&M University, and he has also received the College of Medicine's Senior Research Excellence Award.

    featured Wiki of the Day

    fWotD Episode 3328: Makemake Welcome to featured Wiki of the Day, your daily dose of knowledge from Wikipedia's finest articles.The featured article for Monday, 15 June 2026, is Makemake.Makemake (minor-planet number 136472) is a dwarf planet orbiting the Sun beyond Neptune. It has a diameter 60% that of Pluto, making it the fourth largest trans-Neptunian object and the largest member of the Solar System's classical Kuiper belt, a disc of icy bodies beyond Neptune's orbit. It was discovered on March 31, 2005 by American astronomers Michael E. Brown, Chad Trujillo, and David Rabinowitz at Palomar Observatory. As one of the largest objects found by this team, the discovery of Makemake contributed to the reclassification of Pluto as a dwarf planet in 2006.Makemake is similar to Pluto with respect to its surface: it is highly reflective, covered largely by frozen methane, and stained reddish-brown by tholins. Makemake has one known moon, which has not been named. The orbit of this moon suggests that Makemake's rotation has a high axial tilt, which implies that it experiences extreme seasons. Makemake shows evidence of geochemical activity and cryovolcanism, which has led scientists to suspect that it might harbor a subsurface ocean of liquid water. Gaseous methane has been found on Makemake, although it is unclear whether it is contained in an atmosphere or comes from temporary outgassing.No high-resolution images of Makemake's surface exist because it has not been visited up close by a space probe. Makemake is so far from Earth that it appears as a star-like point of light even when viewed through a telescope. Scientists have expressed desire to send a space probe to explore Makemake because of its geological activity and potential subsurface ocean.This recording reflects the Wikipedia text as of 01:04 UTC on Monday, 15 June 2026.For the full current version of the article, see Makemake on Wikipedia.This podcast uses content from Wikipedia under the Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike License.Visit our archives at wikioftheday.com and subscribe to stay updated on new episodes.Follow us on Mastodon at @wikioftheday@masto.ai.Also check out Curmudgeon's Corner, a current events podcast.Until next time, I'm neural Aria.

    Steven Spielberg believes humanity may discover extraterrestrial life within our lifetime, which is either the beginning of the greatest scientific revelation in history or an elaborate way of making everyone look up from their phones for five minutes.In this episode of Mark and Pete, we look at Spielberg's comments about UFOs, UAPs, alien life and the belief that we may not be alone in the universe. The director of Close Encounters of the Third Kind, E.T. and War of the Worlds has spent decades turning the possibility of extraterrestrials into cinema, but now he appears increasingly convinced that the evidence is pointing beyond fiction.We ask what has changed. Is it the testimony of military pilots, unexplained radar sightings, government hearings and the modern language of unidentified anomalous phenomena? Or are we simply living through another great age of speculation, now with better cameras, worse attention spans and more podcasts?There is still no publicly confirmed scientific proof of intelligent alien life. That matters. Mystery is not proof, a blurry light is not a spaceship, and congressional testimony is not the same thing as a little green man asking for parking validation. Still, the subject has moved a long way from cheap tabloids and men in desert lay-bys. Governments discuss it. Scientists prepare protocols. Spielberg, who has thought about this rather more than most of us, says discovery may come sooner than we imagine.We also consider the Christian response. Would extraterrestrial life undermine Christianity? Not remotely. The Bible presents a universe crowded with created beings, visible and invisible, all under the authority of Christ. Discovering life elsewhere would enlarge our understanding of creation, not reduce the Creator.Aliens, UFOs, UAP disclosure, Steven Spielberg, extraterrestrial intelligence, SETI, NASA, Christian theology and the search for life beyond Earth. It is all here. Along with the sensible reminder that, before announcing first contact, one should probably check it is not Venus.

    Scientists have made a new scientific breakthrough in the study of the human body.Researchers in the United States have discovered something amazing: a third circulatory system within the human body.Alongside the previously known cardiovascular and lymphatic systems, this interstitium system (as it's being called) appears to allow the different organs of the human body to pass things along to one another.Which in-and-of-itself is an amazing discovery, but it's made even more exciting by the fact that this newly discovered system maps very well onto the model of the human body that's been used in traditional Eastern medicine for thousands of years (in practices like acupuncture, for instance).Meaning, this discovery might very well be the missing link between Western and Eastern medicine.Let's go through the details together.

    Plastics are everywhere — from bottles and food wrappers to your phone and your car — because they're cheap and durable. But over time, they break down into microplastics that may harm the environment and have been linked to potential health effects Global plastic production exploded from 2 million tons in 1950 to over 450 million tons by 2018. Without strict limits, it could triple by 2060, worsening pollution worldwide The manufacturing boom was fueled by convenience and profit. Today, single-use plastics dominate, and petrochemical companies rely on them for revenue, spreading pollution even to the most remote regions Sunlight, water, and even tiny organisms break plastic into micro- and nanoplastics. These fragments travel through air, water, and food, and eventually end up inside your body Scientists are racing to redesign plastics and strengthen global policies.

    Dr. Riley Kirk welcomes Dr. Anna Schwabe to the Bioactive Podcast for a deep dive into cannabis genetics, cultivar identity, plant chemistry, and the challenges of making sense of cannabis in a rapidly evolving industry. As two cannabis scientists get thoroughly nerdy, they explore the relationship between genetics and chemical expression, why cultivar names matter, and what science can and cannot tell us about predicting cannabis effects. Drawing from years of research in cannabis genomics, chemotypes, and consumer behavior, Anna explains the disconnect between strain names, marketing claims, and actual genetic identity. The conversation examines how genetics, environment, cultivation practices, and post-harvest handling influence the final chemistry of a cannabis product, often making consumer expectations difficult to predict. They also explore the limitations of the indica, sativa, and hybrid framework, discussing why these categories may still serve a purpose for new consumers while highlighting the need for more nuanced approaches to cannabis classification. The discussion dives into terpene science, aroma-based selection, cultivar verification, consumer perception, breeding strategies, and the future of genetic authentication in cannabis. Additionally, Riley and Anna tackle common industry misconceptions, the importance of preserving cannabis history and culture, and how science can help bridge the gap between growers, consumers, researchers, and retailers. Throughout the episode, they emphasize practical ways consumers can make better decisions while exploring the fascinating complexity of cannabis chemistry and genetics. Whether you're a grower, breeder, budtender, researcher, medical patient, or curious consumer, this episode offers valuable insights into how cannabis genetics shape the products we use and the experiences we have.

    Calling someone an “animal” means they're less than human – not worthy of respect, rights, or even of life itself. But in truth — and in biological fact — human beings ARE animals. Scientists continue to find that intelligence and what we call “consciousness” appear to saturate all of nature. Clearly it's high time to think differently about just what it means to be an animal. Can we know what it's like to be other-than-human? How can we see into the minds of animals? Visionary naturalist, author and conservationist Carl Safina says that the first step is paying attention and observing. And, he suggests, if we had humility, we'd have everything.

    Most listeners to Creation Moments will know that honeybees communicate with each other through a complex dance. These dances are used by bee scouts who communicate the location, direction, and distance of a new food source to other bees. Researchers have now learned that there is more to this communication than simply dance.Scientists have discovered that bees can also hear the buzzing sounds that accompany the dance. More than that, scientists have been able to mimic those buzzing sounds, but they have not yet been able to reproduce the language that bees use. In order to further study bee communication, researchers in Denmark plan to construct a tiny robot dancing bee which can be used to recruit real honeybees to food sources - if they can learn the bees' language.In a previous Creation Moments program, we spoke about the recent discovery of an ancient bee encased in amber. Scientists said that even though the bee dated back to the beginning of flowering plants, it was just like modern bees. The Lord's message through all these lines of evidence - sophisticated bee society with complex communication and the evidence that it has existed since there were bees - is clear. If a robot dancing bee must be manufactured by intelligence, then the real dancing bees must also have been made by an intelligent Creator.Zechariah 7:9-11"Thus speaketh the Lord of hosts, saying, Execute true judgment, and shew mercy and compassions every man to his brother: And oppress not the widow, nor the fatherless, the stranger, nor the poor; and let none of you imagine evil against his brother in your heart. But they refused to hearken, and pulled away the shoulder, and stopped their ears, that they should not hear.”Prayer: Dear heavenly Father, it is sometimes perplexing to see how deaf the world is to what You have to say so clearly. Yet, I confess that I too, don't always hear Your voice when I should. Help me to hear You more clearly and to lead others to hear Your call to them.

    The Oh Behave! Podcast is back; and this episode explains why it took as long as it did.This is not an apology for the hiatus. It's something more honest than that: an account of doing the actual work of examining beliefs, sitting with discomfort, and changing course rather than just knowing you should. That process takes time. It took the time it took.This episode is about being wrong. Specifically, it's about why being wrong feels the way it feels, what the science says about that, and why the ability to be genuinely wrong without it costing you your sense of self might be one of the most important things a human being can develop.We start with a concept from behavioral science called cognitive fusion; the experience of a belief feeling less like something you're thinking and more like something you are. When a belief fuses with your identity, a challenge to the belief stops feeling like a correction and starts feeling like an attack. That's not weakness or stubbornness; it's a description of how human cognition works, grounded in a framework called Relational Frame Theory (RFT).From there, we look at history. How being wrong feels is not a matter of personality or intelligence; it's a learning history. If being wrong was dangerous in the environments where you learned who you were, your nervous system learned to treat it as a threat. It may still be responding to a danger that is long gone.Then we get practical. The goal is not to stop feeling the sting of being wrong; it's to feel it fully and still be able to move. The episode introduces flexible engagement as a name for that capacity; the ability to stay in honest contact with your experience, including the parts that challenge what you believe, without fusing so tightly that thoughtful response becomes impossible. We walk through what that looks like in practice and what it feels like from the inside.Finally, we look at the verbal behavior itself. Understanding that you're wrong and saying "I was wrong" out loud are two completely different behaviors with two completely different histories. The words live in a social world; and that social world shapes whether honesty becomes more or less likely over time. Intellectual honesty is not only an individual practice. It is a relational one.The episode closes where it began: the scientific method is not a departure from human nature. It is human nature formalized. From the day we are born, we are collecting data, running experiments, seeking to understand. Being a scientist is being human.Human first. Human always.

    Episode 376 For the first time, scientists have mapped Earth's vast underground fungal network - and it's bigger than anyone imagined. Beneath our feet, plants and fungi have a hidden symbiotic relationship, sharing nutrients through fine fungal threads called hyphae. With these new global maps, we're now starting to understand just how important the mycorrhizal network is in keeping the Earth's climate stable - including the extent of the carbon it draws down. But the ecosystems where these networks exist are being stripped back for agriculture and damaged by fungicides - so how can we protect them?

    Who has measured the waters in the hollow of his hand, or with the breadth of his hand marked off the heavens? — Isaiah 40:12 From this section of Isaiah 40 to its end, the prophet asks rhetorical questions that highlight God's amazing power, ability, and majesty over all things. In relation to creation, knowledge, nations, and rulers, nothing and no one compares with God.For example, who is able to measure the waters of the earth in just the hollow of his hand? Think of all the oceans, lakes, rivers, and other waters on this earth. To the Lord these are smaller than the hollow in the palm of his hand!Similarly, the span of the Lord's fingers can mark off the heavens. Scientists say that the universe is more than 93 billion light years in diameter. This means that if we flew at the speed of light, it would take us more than 93 billion years to go from one end of the universe to the other. And yet God can measure that mind-boggling distance with just the breadth of his hand.What's more, God can weigh the earth's mountains and hills on a scale and gather all of the earth's dust in a basket. With these astonishing descriptions, the prophet Isaiah makes abundantly clear that our God is incomparably great. He is the creator of the universe and the sustainer of his work of creation. There is no one like him. He alone is God. And this God is our Lord and Savior! Majestic Lord, you measure the oceans, the heavens, the mountains, and more as if they are small things. Fill us with awe at your greatness. Sustain our faith, we pray, and remind us that you are our Savior. Amen.

    We tend to think of our ancestors as less smart versions of ourselves; after all, they didn't invent smartphones, or the internet, or other truly visionary stuff! But actually, our ancestors were much smarter than many of us give them credit for, and some things they created have baffled scientists for centuries! From structures only giants could have built, to a computer that pre-dates the age of Jesus, it's time to explore some of the oldest technologies that even scientists can't explain! Our Sponsors:* Check out BetterHelp and use my code betterhelp.com for a great deal: https://www.betterhelp.comAdvertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy

Not a drug. Not calorie counting. One simple swap in the kitchen. Meanwhile, the people with the worst waistlines were the ones using the "heart-healthy" oils their doctors recommended. In this lesson, Ben breaks down why seed oils now make up about 80% of the US food supply and drive inflammation, insulin resistance, and stubborn belly fat. Then he reveals the winning fat, extra virgin olive oil, and the three compounds inside it that work unlike anything else in your pantry, including one that affects the same anti-inflammatory pathway as ibuprofen. He also explains why most grocery store olive oil fails the research, and exactly how to spot the real thing. Key takeaways: One fat was linked to waistlines about four inches smaller than the seed oil group People who skipped it had roughly a five times higher risk of abdominal obesity Seed oils have shifted our omega ratio from 1:1 to about 20:1, fueling chronic inflammation Oleocanthal in fresh olive oil affects the same COX enzymes as ibuprofen In the PREDIMED trial, olive oil was tied to a 30% drop in major cardiovascular events Most grocery olive oil is adulterated, so buy single origin, dark glass, and run the taste test Smoke point is a poor marker, real extra virgin olive oil is one of the safest oils to cook with Find All The Ben Azadi Show Sponsorship Deals ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.ketokamp.com/sponsorship-deals Learn more about your ad choices.
