El Salvador President Nayib Bukele said he will not help return Kilmar Abrego Garcia to the U.S. after Garcia was mistakenly deported to El Salvador. NBC News has more. And Rolling Stone reports on private White House considerations about sending U.S. citizens there as well. Joseph Walker from the Wall Street Journal joins to talk about a possible way that Republicans could cut Medicaid funding. Anil Oza, Sharon Begley fellow at Stat News, discusses the rise in U.S. maternal mortality rates. Plus, Harvey Weinstein goes back on trial, an internal government memo refutes the narrative behind the detainment of a Tufts University student, UConn star Paige Bueckers was selected first in the WNBA draft, and why the IRS is extending the tax-filing deadline for certain states. Today’s episode was hosted by Shumita Basu.

"Why is it that certain people are vulnerable to life's slings and arrows and why are other people more resilient?" Dr. Richard Davidson, Ph.D, felt guided by this question, and dedicated himself to developing insight into how our brains regulate our emotions. But in 1992, Richard was inspired by the Dalai Lama to revise his initial question and instead consider: What qualities foster well-being? "His Holiness challenged me and asked why we are not using the tools of modern neuroscience to study qualities such as kindness and compassion rather than negative qualities of the mind such as depression and anxiety. I had no good answer, and on that day, I made a commitment to His Holiness and to myself that I would do everything within my power to help place these positive qualities on the scientific map," Richard said. That renewed and refocused commitment has generated ripples of goodness. Named one of the 100 most influential people in the world by Time Magazine in 2006, Richard founded in 2008 the Center for Healthy Minds at the University of Wisconsin-Madison, where he has served as a faculty member and professor since 1984. Richard's research is broadly focused on the neural bases of emotion and methods to promote human flourishing including meditation and related contemplative practices. A prolific researcher, he has authored more than 570 articles, numerous chapters and reviews, and edited 14 books. His research has identified four keys to well-being - resilience, outlook, attention, and generosity - that can be strengthened in each of us through practice. Richard founded Healthy Minds Innovations (HMI), a nonprofit affiliate of the Center for Healthy Minds, in 2014. HMI translates well-being science into tools (including a Kindness Curriculum and the Healthy Minds program and app) to cultivate and measure well-being. "I really feel a moral calling [to help people develop well-being as a skill], because I feel most people would agree that the trajectory we've been on is not a particularly healthy or sustainable one. Everyone has a role to play in this, everyone can be a participant, just like with climate science. Everyone can play a constructive role in helping the planet heal," said Richard. Born in Brooklyn, New York, Richard earned his Bachelor's Degree in Psychology from NYU before completing his Ph.D in Personality, Psychopathology, and Psychophysiology at Harvard University. He authored (with Sharon Begley) the New York Times bestseller, The Emotional Life of Your Brain and co-authored Altered Traits with Daniel Goleman. In 2000, Richard was the recipient of the American Psychological Association's prestigious Distinguished Scientific Achievement Award in 2000. He was elected to the National Academy of Medicine in 2017, and appointed to the Governing Board of UNESCO's Mahatma Gandhi Institute of Education for Peace and Sustainable Development (MGIEP) in 2018. Join us on February 3 for a conversation with this transformative psychologist and well-being advocate.

We all like to throw around terms that describe human behavior — “bystander apathy” and “steep learning curve” and “hard-wired.” Most of the time, they don't actually mean what we think they mean. But don't worry — the experts are getting it wrong, too. SOURCES:Sharon Begley, senior science writer for Stat at The Boston Globe.Jerome Kagan, emeritus professor of psychology at Harvard University.Bibb Latané, social psychologist and senior fellow at the Center for Human Science.Scott Lilienfeld, professor of psychology at Emory University.James Solomon, director and producer of The Witness. RESOURCES:“Tech Metaphors Are Holding Back Brain Research,” by Anna Vlasits (Wired, 2017).Can't Just Stop: An Investigation of Compulsions, by Sharon Begley (2017).The Witness, film by James Solomon (2016).“Fifty Psychological and Psychiatric Terms to Avoid: a List of Inaccurate, Misleading, Misused, Ambiguous, and Logically Confused Words and Phrases,” by Scott Lilienfeld, Katheryn Sauvigne, Steven Jay Lynn, Robin Cautin, Robert Latzman, and Irwin Waldman (Frontiers in Psychology, 2015).SuperFreakonomics, by Steven Levitt and Stephen Dubner (2011).Fifty Great Myths of Popular Psychology, by Scott Lilienfeld, Steven Jay Lynn, John Ruscio, and Barry Beyerstein (2009).Train Your Mind, Change Your Brain, by Sharon Begley (2007).“Kitty, 40 Years Later,” by Jim Rasenberger (The New York Times, 2004).“37 Who Saw Murder Didn't Call the Police,” by Martin Gansberg (The New York Times, 1964). EXTRAS:"Academic Fraud," series by Freakonomics Radio (2024).“This Idea Must Die,”Freakonomics Radio (2015).

"Excited delirium” is a controversial term that is used by some to describe a person who experiences an acute, extreme disruption in their behavior and ability to think, and often comes up in relation to people who have died in police custody. Last season, we turned to my colleague Isabella Cueto, a Sharon Begley science reporting fellow at STAT. She traveled to Miami to learn more about the historical roots the term has in the medical examiner's office there. We're bringing this episode back today and will return with a new one next time.

As you may know, For ages Scientists ,philosophers and regular people have been in a long quest about the existence of our Creator ,and also ,they have hadasked countless questions , and they have beings searching for God ,despite the overwhelming evidences of God 's presence on our daily lives. Finally ,they are also scientists believe some people have the God 's gene which have urging them to pursue a relationship with him.

"The best way to activate positive emotion circuits in the brain is through generosity." - Richard J. Davidson.Compassion and kindness are often thought of as ad-hoc actions that humans engage in from time to time. Science, however, shows that we are born with these traits. Despite this, we somehow become disengaged from this true nature of our mind. While there's a way to activate this circuitry in our brain, it requires work and nurturing to achieve a state of altered traits.In this episode, we explore this thought and more with multiple award winner Richard J. Davidson, Ph.D., Arun Sardana's personal inspiration in the world of mindfulness and a light for thousands who have benefited and have been transformed by his groundbreaking research in contemplative practices and methods to promote human flourishing.  He is the William James and Vilas Research Professor of Psychology and Psychiatry and Founder & Director of the Center for Healthy Minds, University of Wisconsin-Madison. He received his Ph.D. from Harvard University in Psychology and has been at Wisconsin since 1984. He has published more than 440 articles, numerous chapters and reviews and edited 14 books. He is the author (with Sharon Begley) of The Emotional Life of Your Brain published by Penguin Books in 2012. He is co-author with Daniel Goleman of Altered Traits: Science Reveals How Meditation Changes Your Mind, Brain, and Body, published by Penguin Books in 2017.karuna is a social enterprise with one mission - to make happiness accessible to all. If you believe that happiness should not be a privilege of the few, but instead a birthright of all, come join us.

"Like sand on a beach, the brain bears the footprints of the decisions we have made, the skills we have learned." - Sharon Begley, NEWSWEEK Science EditorOn this edition of Restoring the Soul, Michael continues his in-depth look at Surfing for God and introduces a 2-part discussion called, “Your Brain on Porn”. Over the past 20 years, the field of neuroscience has exploded our understanding of the human brain. Recent discoveries have profound implications on treating various addictions and psychological disorders and pursuing physical and emotional well-being. The consistent theme is that contrary to conventional wisdom, our brains are highly changeable. Your brain can unlearn, and it can change.Key Facts About the Effects of Porn on the BrainPorn is a drugPorn has harmful consequencesPorn hijacks the brainPorn changes the wiring in your brainPorn creates an addicted brainPorn-addicted brains can be rewiredThere is hope for porn addiction of all kinds* In this podcast, Michael refers to the resource yourbrainonporn.com

Do you know what happens to your brain when you are sleeping? In a sense, a cleaning crew gets in there to clean out all the toxins so that your brain works better the next day. I know it sounds weird but it is exactly what happens. Listen as I begin this episode with that explanation. http://ens-newswire.com/2013/10/18/brain-cleans-itself-of-toxins-during-sleep/ Failure is often part of success. In fact, most great breakthrough ideas fail first and then get modified before they became a success. It often happens multiple times. Being open to learning from those early failures and being able to adapt your ideas is what helps make ideas prosper according to Safi Bahcall. Safi is a physicist and biotech entrepreneur and author of the book, Loonshots: How to Nurture the Crazy Ideas that Win Wars, Cure Diseases and Transform Industries (https://amzn.to/2GsXA8u). Listen as Safi offers insight and great examples of how important inventions and breakthroughs have happened by learning from failure and how we all can do it. Often the reason you get upset or stressed out is because things aren't the way you think they SHOULD be… Traffic should not be so heavy, your doctor should not keep you waiting – that type of thing. Listen as I explore how to change that thinking to relieve yourself of unnecessary frustration. http://www.bakadesuyo.com/2015/04/frustrated/ When I think of compulsive behavior, I think of people who wash their hands a lot or check to see if they locked the door or turned off the coffee pot 50 times a day. While that seems to be extreme compulsive behavior, how is it any different than checking your smart phone 86 times a day? (That's the average). Science writer Sharon Begley has explored this in her book Just Can't Stop: An Investigation of Compulsion (https://amzn.to/2IAUnHj). She joins me to reveal why compulsive behavior isn't necessarily bad and explains at what point it does become a problem and what to do about it. PLEASE SUPPORT OUR SPONSORS!

Researchers at the University of Minnesota project multiples waves of COVID-19 could be extended through the summer if the virus isn't contained. Sharon Begley, senior science writer for STAT, joins us to discuss the research. And, Dr. Thomas Cornwell, executive chairman of the not-for-profit Home Centered Care Institute, discusses the pros and cons of moving the elderly out of nursing homes amid the coronavirus crisis.

What does science tell us about the smartest, safest steps to take to restart the country once we start coming down the other side of the flattened curve? And what could life look like during the reboot? On Today's Show:Sharon Begley, senior science writer for STAT News, and author of Can't Just Stop: An Investigation of Compulsions, discusses when it will be safe to relax the COVID-19 lockdown, and how it should happen.

Today, we begin WEEK 4 on DAY 22 of the COVID-19 pandemic. And all indications are that the toughest fight is still to come with Public Health officials telling us we should expect little relief from the isolation and physical distancing measures for months…not weeks. Here’s what you need to know on Wednesday, April 1st, 2020 *Toronto’s top doctor Dr. Eileen de Villa says she wouldn’t expect public health measures will have to remain in place up to 12 more weeks. Despite some “glimmer’s of hope” in some jurisdictions, the numbers continue to rise sharply right across the country… There's been a 500% increase in 14 days…in Toronto alone. Toronto’s Mayor John Tory ordered city events and venues to be canceled and closed in the coming weeks. That includes Pride Week at the end of June. Tory says it only underlines the seriousness of the situation.. The questions of how much and how long…were among the questions posed to Prime Minister Trudeau during his Wednesday morning briefing. *Christopher Nardi at the National Post cites a government document that “Current GoC [Government Operations Centre] modelling suggests as a best case scenario that current measures continue until at least July.” Meanwhile….Ontario’s Premier, Doug Ford says there are 'Dark days ahead': warning little separates the province from devastation we’ve seen in Italy and Spain. Researchers in Calgary also have a warning for you. Beware of the “conspiracy” theories you may see in your social media feeds. A report released by the University of Calgary School of Public Policy suggests Russia is waging a disinformation war and you are the target. Using various platforms, the campaign offers “evidence” the virus was created in America in order to halt the economic growth of China.

What did we learn about COVID-19 in the past week? We learned that hand washing matters. We learned that social distancing matters. We learned that what we do today will have effects three weeks from today. We also learned that some people aren't paying attention. Here’s what you need to know on Friday, March 20th, 2020 Trudeau unveils new measures to mobilize industry in COVID-19 fight, bring Canadians home Trudeau also announced that Canada-U.S. border will close to non-essential travel as of midnight Friday. That means, come Saturday, tourists and visitors will not be allowed in. The US and Mexico will close their common border to non-essential trave at midnight Saturday New protocols for irregular migrants, who will now be turned around if they appear at the Canada-US border, rather than allowing them in and isolating them. Interpol: 121 arrests made in more than 90 countries over counterfeit COVID-19 supplies, medications Illinois Gov. J.B. Pritzker has announced a statewide shelter-in-place order aimed at stopping the spread of coronavirus. California made the same order earlier this week. Walmart Canada says it will hire 10,000 more employees to work in its stores and distribution centres as it deals with issues related to COVID-19. >  Prime Minister Trudeau says the details have been nailed down – the Canada-US border will be closed to non-essential travel as of midnight Friday. It means no tourists crossing the border but it does mean trade will continue to flow between the two countries. Trudeau says Ottawa will be assisting Canadians who are trying to get home. The PM also made it clear that irregular migrants seeking asylum at the US border will be turned back. Up until now, the migrants have been allowed into Canada and ordered into isolation. The Prime Minister also announced plans to engage the private sector to help stem the COVID-19 outbreak. Trudeau says major businesses and manufacturers have already offered assistance to boost health care and medical supplies. Former federal health Minister Jane Philpott is heading the front lines. Dr. Philpott is answering the call for retired physicians to help with the COVID-19 outbreak. A study by Toronto epidemiologists suggests that Canada's largest province could run out of intensive care beds and ventilators by late April, even assuming a sharp drop in the current infection rate. Researchers from the University of Toronto, University Health Network and Sunnybrook Hospital have released a model showing Ontario could run short of machines and space to ventilate very sick patients in just over five weeks. Ontario Health Minister Christine Elliott told reporters on Wednesday, the province has  adequate supply for the current situation. She then noted the province had ordered 300 more ventilators that it expected to receive shortly and said automotive parts manufacturers are looking to retool their facilities so they can produce ventilators in Ontario. >  Today…Dr. Dina Kulik answers questions about your kids and COVID-19 If you have questions you’d like us to address, send them along to me through TWITTER @DaveTrafford.
