He also uses mathematical modeling to explore the evolution of plasticity, the ability of organisms to adjust to environmental conditions. In this episode, we talk about human development in harsh and unpredictable environments. We start by defining harsh and unpredictable environments. We then talk about expected human childhood, repeated and chronic childhood adversity, strengths and abilities that develop in high-stress environments, hidden talents, enhanced emotion detection, adaptive impulsive behavior, present-oriented psychology, violence in deprived communities, and the development of resilience. Finally, we discuss phenotypic plasticity, and life history theory in psychology and biology.--A HUGE THANK YOU TO MY PATRONS/SUPPORTERS: PER HELGE LARSEN, JERRY MULLER, BERNARDO SEIXAS, ADAM KESSEL, MATTHEW WHITINGBIRD, ARNAUD WOLFF, TIM HOLLOSY, HENRIK AHLENIUS, FILIP FORS CONNOLLY, ROBERT WINDHAGER, RUI INACIO, ZOOP, MARCO NEVES, COLIN HOLBROOK, PHIL KAVANAGH, SAMUEL ANDREEFF, FRANCIS FORDE, TIAGO NUNES, FERGAL CUSSEN, HAL HERZOG, NUNO MACHADO, JONATHAN LEIBRANT, JOÃO LINHARES, STANTON T, SAMUEL CORREA, ERIK HAINES, MARK SMITH, JOÃO EIRA, TOM HUMMEL, SARDUS FRANCE, DAVID SLOAN WILSON, YACILA DEZA-ARAUJO, ROMAIN ROCH, DIEGO LONDOÑO CORREA, YANICK PUNTER, CHARLOTTE BLEASE, NICOLE BARBARO, ADAM HUNT, PAWEL OSTASZEWSKI, NELLEKE BAK, GUY MADISON, GARY G HELLMANN, SAIMA AFZAL, ADRIAN JAEGGI, PAULO TOLENTINO, JOÃO BARBOSA, JULIAN PRICE, HEDIN BRØNNER, DOUGLAS FRY, FRANCA BORTOLOTTI, GABRIEL PONS CORTÈS, URSULA LITZCKE, SCOTT, ZACHARY FISH, TIM DUFFY, SUNNY SMITH, JON WISMAN, WILLIAM BUCKNER, PAUL-GEORGE ARNAUD, LUKE GLOWACKI, GEORGIOS THEOPHANOUS, CHRIS WILLIAMSON, PETER WOLOSZYN, DAVID WILLIAMS, DIOGO COSTA, ALEX CHAU, AMAURI MARTÍNEZ, CORALIE CHEVALLIER, BANGALORE ATHEISTS, LARRY D.

Raised in Catalonia to international parents, new generation migrants are a growing demographic in Catalonia, however they often navigate dual identities, balancing their family's cultural heritage with local traditions. This week on Filling the Sink we dedicate an episode to exploring the challenges faced by this significant collective. Zenia Hellgren, Doctor of Sociology a Senior Researcher at Pompeu Fabra University, discusses what identity is and how young people with a migrant background may find it hard to achieve a true sense of belonging in any one place. Reporter Gigi Giulia talks to secondary school teacher Mariona Jorba Solsona about the importance of education in breaking down language barriers and creating an inclusive environment which nurtures hybrid identities. Plus, we meet two new generation Catalans to hear their stories, and host Beth Cohen analyzes Catalonia's migration history and how it has shaped the current social reality. This week, our Catalan phrase is “És tard i vol ploure” - “It's late and it wants to rain”. It's an expression that is used when time is running out or something is too late to fix. It can also be used as a way of saying goodbye or telling someone to hurry up.

Join IfG experts for instant analysis of the 2025 spending review – a critical moment for Keir Starmer's government. Were the spending allocations sufficient to improve public services, deliver growth and make progress on the government's other missions? Which departments will be pleased – and which lost out? And did this multi-year spending review reveal a coherent strategy for the government over the next few years?   To answer these questions and more, IfG experts convened shortly after the chancellor's announcement to provide their initial analysis.   The webinar was chaired by Jill Rutter, Senior Fellow at the Institute for Government, with a panel including: Nick Davies, Programme Director for Public Services at the Institute for Government Ben Paxton, Senior Researcher at the Institute for Government Gemma Tetlow, Chief Economist at the Institute for Government Learn more about your ad choices.

The 2025 spending review on 11 June is a critical moment for Keir Starmer's government. Almost a year since Labour's general election victory, Rachel Reeves will set budgets for departments up to 2028/29 – which will cover most of the rest of the parliament. But the chancellor is facing difficult choices – and her decisions will reveal a great deal about this government's priorities. Will the spending allocations be sufficient to improve public services, deliver growth and make progress on the government's other missions? Which departments will be pleased – and which will lose out? And will this multi-year spending review reveal a coherent strategy for the government over the next few years?

Civil society groups are calling for stronger measures to monitor food affordability and pricing. A new report by the Socio-Economic Rights Institute of South Africa, has revealed the daily struggles many South Africans face to put food on the table. 23,1% of households nationally (that is, over one in five) consider their access to food as inadequate or severely inadequate. The report also reveals that 10 million tonnes of food are wasted annually in South Africa, which constitutes about one-third of all available food.

Is tax justice also climate justice? What role does the tax system have in our fight against climate change? We spoke with Franziska Mager, Senior Researcher and Advocacy Lead for Climate and Inequalities at the Tax Justice Network; she leads the Tax Justice Network's work on integrating tax and climate justice approaches in service of reducing inequalities. Franziska explains why taxes are important for climate justice and reprogramming economies off of their dependence on fossil fuels. She also discusses some of the concrete tax measures countries could introduce to solve the climate financing gap while also promoting social and economic justice and correcting climate injustices within and between countries.   Pullback is a proud member of the Harbinger Media Network Enjoy our work?

Wie ist die Schweiz aufgestellt? Wie gut geschützt sind die kritischen Infrastrukturen? Das Tagesgespräch mit Leonard Schiesser, Senior Researcher am Center for Security Studies der ETH Zürich. Ein Blackout ist kein normaler Stromausfall, sondern ein Ausfall des Übertragungsnetzes. Da das europäische Stromnetz zusammenhängt, könnte sich ein Blackout kaskadenartig ausbreiten, erklärt Schliesser. Entscheidend bei einem Blackout sei die Dauer. Falle der Strom länger als 72 Stunden aus, werde es prekär für die Bevölkerung. Dies passiere aber enorm selten. In der Schweiz war eine Person im Jahr 2023 im Durchschnitt bloss 18 Minuten ohne Strom. Dennoch sei eine Vorsorge auf Blackouts wichtig, so Schliesser. Die Schweiz sei hier grundsätzlich gut aufgestellt. Leonard Schliesser verfasste für das Center for Security Studies eine Analyse über die Risiken von Blackouts. Er ist zu Gast im Tagesgespräch bei Simone Hulliger.

Researchers at the International Energy Research Centre (IERC) based at Tyndall National Institute (a research flagship of University College Cork), are piloting a state-of-the-art prototype high-capacity thermal energy storage system as part of the, EU Horizon Europe funded, MiniStor project. This project is in collaboration with Cork City Council and 11 other partners from across the continent. It aims to reduce, or potentially remove, the need for solid fuel, oil or gas-based heating systems in homes by capturing heat from the sun and storing it in an innovative, compact heat store that's suitable for family homes, helping reduce heating bills. The MiniStor system is currently being tested at a residential site in Cork City, where it will operate for 6 months to assess its performance in an Irish climate. This demonstration is one part of four European locations- Ireland, Spain, Greece, and Hungary- ensuring adaptability across diverse climatic conditions and paving the way for broader market adoption. The core of the MiniStor (Minimal Size Thermal and Electrical Energy Storage System for In-Situ Residential Installation) project is a novel approach to energy storage, offering a sustainable solution to store and manage heat and electricity from renewable sources such as solar energy. With a storage capacity 10 times greater than that of water, the system has the potential to provide a practical, compact solution to storing large amounts of heat. The system collects thermal and electrical energy from the sun through solar collectors, storing it by heating up salt compounds that create a thermochemical reaction. This heat is then released as needed through a hot water circuit and heat pump for use both in heating and in domestic hot water. Integrating cutting-edge storage technology with renewable energy, the project provides a scalable, sustainable model for European households aiming to reduce carbon footprints and energy costs, reducing the cost and complexity of retrofitting existing homes and accelerating the decarbonisation of Irish and European building stock. Dr Carlos Ochoa, Senior Researcher, IERC at Tyndall, said: "The MiniStor device has the potential to provide homes in Ireland and Europe with another option, in addition to building fabric improvement, heat pumps and domestic solar panels, to achieve a future with clean and affordable energy for all." This project has received funding from the European Union's Horizon 2020 research and innovation programme under grant agreement No 869821

The new public sector Probation Service was created in 2021 to unify the outsourced management of low- and medium-risk offenders with the public sector management of high-risk offenders. While the initial transition went well, four years on probation still faces deep structural challenges – as do other public services. The government is committed to public service reform and a ‘mission-driven' approach, but it is not yet clear what this will look like. So what can the government learn about improving public service reform from probation insourcing? What are the implications for Labour's strategic review of probation governance? And what comes next for the probation service? To discuss these questions and more, we were joined by an expert panel including: Professor Harry Annison, Co-Investigator of Rehabilitating Probation Research Project, and Professor of Criminal Justice at Southampton Law School Helen Berresford, Director of External Engagement at Nacro Sam Freedman, Senior Fellow at the Institute for Government Martin Jones CBE, HM Chief Inspector of Probation The event was chaired by Cassia Rowland, Senior Researcher at the Institute for Government. This event was kindly supported by Rehabilitating Probation.

Apertura in rosso per le Borse europee sotto il peso della guerra dei dazi, che ieri ha mandato ko Wall Street e oggi ha fatto scivolare anche i mercati asiatici. Gli investitori sono diventati decisamente più avversi al rischio dopo che il presidente degli Stati Uniti Donald Trump ha confermato l entrata in vigore, da oggi, di dazi del 25% su Canada e Messico e il raddoppio delle tariffe sui prodotti cinesi (al 20%), ribadendo che il 2 aprile entreranno in vigore i dazi reciproci, a partire da quelli sui prodotti agricoli. Immediata la riposta di Pechino e Ottawa che hanno già annunciato le contromosse con tariffe sui prodotti statunitensi. L attenzione del mercato resta rivolta anche agli sviluppi delle prospettive di pace in Ucraina, dopo che gli Stati Uniti hanno sospeso gli aiuti militari a Kiev. Ne parliamo con Andrea Delitala, Head of Euro Multi Asset di Pictet Asset Management.La guerra dei dazi è cominciataSe i dazi sui prodotti europei sono ancora nella fase di una promessa minacciosa («Abbiamo preso la decisione, e la annunceremo a breve: saranno del 25%», aveva detto Donald Trump a fine febbraio, in occasione del primo consiglio dei ministri del suo governo), quelli contro Canada, Messico e Cina sono da oggi 4 febbraio una realtà. La guerra commerciale è dunque iniziata e i mercati finanziari sono già andati in tilt. L annuncio di ieri dei dazi trumpiani su un mercato di merci dal valore complessivo di 1.500 miliardi di dollari ha infatti innescato un crollo delle azioni globali e spinto al ribasso i rendimenti obbligazionari, mentre sono scesi sia il peso messicano che il dollaro canadese. Secondo Washington, queste misure vengono adottate a causa di inaccettabili afflussi di droga e migranti illegali negli Usa. Per quanto riguarda la Cina, secondo la Casa Bianca anche Pechino non ha preso alcuna misura per limitare le forniture di fentanyl agli Stati Uniti. Intanto, la Ue ha posto l accento sul fatto che la decisione di Trump rischia di interrompere il commercio globale, creando «inutili incertezze in un momento in cui la cooperazione internazionale è più cruciale che mai». Ma gli effetti negativi potrebbero manifestarsi nel giro di breve anche all interno degli Stati Uniti. Secondo gli economisti americani, i dazi su Canada e Messico, che da soli coprono un valore di oltre 900 miliardi di dollari di importazioni annuali verso gli Stati Uniti, rappresenteranno una grave battuta d'arresto per tutta l'economia nordamericana, che è altamente integrata. Il commento è di Mario Deaglio, professore emerito di Economia Internazionale Università di Torino e Lucia Tajoli, Professor of Economics and International Economics al politecnico di milano e Senior Researcher a ISPI.
