Podcasts about singing scientist

Do you feel you can no longer talk with people who hold different opinions? Has anger become the predominant tone? If we want this to change, how can we as individuals, change the way we talk and connect when we differ?   Dr. Francis Collins is a pro at stepping into spaces that many of us are avoiding right now. He's remarkably good at finding common ground with people who think differently than he does. You may know Francis as one of our nation's greatest scientists. The former director of the National Institutes of Health and a physician-geneticist, he led the the National Human Genome Research Institute and successfully led the effort to sequence the human genome. He is also known for his landmark discoveries of the genes responsible for critical diseases like cystic fibrosis and Huntington's Disease. His recent book, The Road to Wisdom, centers on principles he considers essential for navigating today's polarized society: truth, science, faith, and trust. He finds both faith and science as essential for exploring this challenging question of how we connect with each other across divides. For Francis, love, beauty and goodness lie at the foundation of who we should be as humans. We should use our time together to experience these with others. In this episode of House Calls, Francis shares his own stories of finding common ground and establishing genuine friendships, even in the face of fundamental disagreement. Drawing from his experience as a scientist and as a man of faith, he offers strategies for building relationships that lean on a positive view of humanity, and that free our minds from the negativity of social media, to re-create a society that feels better to all of us. As Francis says, “We the people are the solution to what has happened to we the people.” A talented musician, Francis ends our conversation by sharing a song he performed with famed opera singer Renée Fleming. Written during the Civil War, the song was created to bring the country together during a time a great division. It remains so relevant today.

Episode 9. Singing Scientist interviews NYC-based UX practitioner Devin Harold on the good and the bad of social media, the importance of awareness and unplugging, and the differences between persuasive, manipulative, and addictive medias.

I thought that I heard you laughing. I thought that I heard you sing. I think I thought I saw you try. … FIRST VERSE: Social media is such a great way to connect with others from all over the world. It is because of this connection that the Critelli's were able to be contacted by this week's #GayRelationshipGoals - a wonderful couple from Fort Myers, FL. Kevin (@radical_kam) and Jackson (@jmorgan1979). After 10-years together and 6-years married, this couple still has "new adventures every day," and their Instagram pages are proof! Check them out and let them know the Critelli's sent you! They truly are a great inspiration and we are so excited to add them to the Relationsh!t family. CHORUS: "Oh, life is bigger, It's bigger. Than you and you are not me ..." The guys are joined, once again, by the Singing Scientist (@singing_scientist) to finalize their conversation about the Bible. After breaking down the verses "related to" homosexuality and all the condemnation the gays are supposed to experience, Marko, Tony, and Chase sit down to talk about how the church has negatively impacted gay relationships. Are gays deeply affected by all the hate the followers of the Bible choose to spew? Is there hope for future gays? And what should you say when someone uses the Bible to make you feel badly about your sexuality? Check in with the guys to stock up on some much needed ammo. SECOND VERSE: Chase Nelson, (@singing_scientist) we cannot thank you enough for joining us again; for your wisdom and wit; for your time and presence and contributions; for sharing your thoughts and experiences and perspective; for being so open with us and for our community. Your intellect is outmatched only by the immensity of your heart. Thank you so much for joining us, for being you, and for helping to heal us so that we may, as a community, access our faith without guilt. BRIDGE: A less than ideal coming out story has left a gay college grad feeling a bit bruised and battered. When he thinks his younger brother may be gay, too, he is afraid his coming out experience has caused his younger brother to stay in the closet. Should he say anything to his brother? And, what if he actually isn't gay? Opposites are supposed to attract, but what happens when your differences are so polar that it causes you to cringe? A proper British man never expected to fall for the messy bloke that he's spending time with. How do you get past the differences? And, how does one loosen up when already so tightly wound? Another set of Listener Shituations is left for the Critelli's to solve! - - - - - Relationship problems?

Episode 8. Relationsh!t and Singing Scientist continue their conversation on the uses and abuses of the Bible, the beauty of Jesus' progressive message, and the impact of religion on gay relationships. Photo by Michael Young Photography.

That's me in the corner. That's me in the spotlight. Losing my religion, Trying to keep up with you. … FIRST VERSE: Holy exploding ovaries, Batman! The 'Cute-o-Meter' is officially off the charts with this week's #GayRelationshipGoals: (@dustin_patrick_smith) and his husband (@bbbuffaloe). This insanely adorable family of four is proof that a lot of love goes a long way. Dustin and Burton are soaring through life as a loving and committed couple. But what makes them even more inspirational, is their devotion to their children and family. They love hard and laugh harder and that is why they are this week's relationship goals. Follow them both on Instagram and fall in love with them, the way we did - we promise you will happy that you did! CHORUS: "And I don't know if I can do it, Oh no, I've said too much." But we haven't said enough ... This week, the guys are joined by The Singing Scientist, Chase Nelson, and sit down and tackle one of the most controversial topics in Relationsh!t history: The Bible. Join Marko, Tony, and Chase as they dissect Bible verses that "condemn" homosexuality and dive into the many different interpretations of the same text that supposedly make being gay a bad thing (in the eyes of a God). SECOND VERSE: We support Chase Nelson and his podcast, The Singing Scientist! Incredibly educated, and well researched, Chase approaches topics related to science, the performing arts, religion, and homosexuality in such a meaningful and dynamic way. His experience and insight are delightful and digestible and the Critelli's are huge fans! Follow him on Facebook and Instagram (@singing_scientist) and subscribe to his podcast, so you'll never miss an episode. Thank you, Chase, for all that you're doing for the community and we hope you all enjoy the episode. BRIDGE: Long distance relationships are never easy, and this week, the guys try to help a listener that has this exact problem. If your husband is thousands of miles away (for productive reasons), is there really a such thing as a light at the end of the tunnel? If so, then why is it so damn far away?! Finally, a listener doesn't love the idea of monogamy, but likes the guy he's spending his time with. What happens when one of the many guys your dating, wants something a bit more traditional and exclusive - and you're not sold on the idea? Listen in as the Critelli's try to fix the world, one shituation at a time. - - - - - Relationship problems?
