Broadcast from KSQD, Santa Cruz on 7-16-2026: Dr. Dawn dissects a June 2026 JAMA Internal Medicine paper that claimed simultaneous flu and COVID vaccination in veterans reduced cardiac events, arguing the retrospective natural-experiment design cannot support causal conclusions. The 20% versus 2% dropout rates between groups signal fundamentally non-comparable populations, and the divergence in cardiac events starting within a month of vaccination is clinically implausible—suggesting an X-factor other than vaccine effect is driving the numbers. Dr. Dawn delivers a pointed critique of a major chain pharmacy—part of a vertical healthcare monopoly—for creating deliberate friction around controlled-substance prescriptions through claims of stock shortages, unnecessary prior authorizations, and phantom "clarification" requests. She acknowledges the real paperwork burden of DEA compliance (quarterly reporting, six-month inspections, legitimate-need documentation) but argues chains are pushing pain patients away rather than doing due diligence, while independent pharmacies are closing at alarming rates in California. Following up on last week's Kampo medicine caller, Dr. Dawn reports research on Goshajinkigan showing it suppresses voltage-gated sodium channels at the motor end plate, functioning as a muscle relaxant used clinically in Japan for low back pain, extremity numbness, and chemotherapy- and diabetic-induced neuropathy. An emailer asks about a case report of an 80-year-old woman with 10-year Alzheimer's whose function dramatically improved after 5g oral psilocybin (Enigma strain), regaining conversation, continence, and autonomous dressing. Dr. Dawn notes plausible mechanisms (neuroplasticity, anti-inflammatory action, elevated BDNF) but cautions the diagnosis was clinical rather than confirmed with imaging or CSF markers, and recommends the emailer pursue exercise and sleep optimization for word-finding difficulties instead. An emailer asks how to reassure her chemically-hypersensitive adult son that their remediated apartment is safe. Dr. Dawn recommends commercial ERMI (Environmental Relative Moldiness Index) testing along baseboards where spores concentrate, plus urine mycotoxin testing on the parents themselves to demonstrate objectively low exposure levels. Drosophila fruit-fly males produce sperm longer than their own 2mm bodies—40 times longer than human sperm—with thousands packed inside. Fluorescent-dye imaging shows the sperm remain unusually still and coordinated, moving in synchronized slow waves like flocking birds or kelp in tides, preventing tangling. A Washington University study of 154,000 UK and 10,000 US participants used nine blood biomarkers to calculate biological age, finding people born in the 1990s show accelerated biological aging compared to those born three decades earlier. The gap between biological and chronological age correlated with increased risk of lung, colon, and uterine cancers—all rising in younger populations. A University of Pennsylvania study of 493 mouse litters found germ-free mice had shorter reproductive lifespans, more ovarian scarring, and accelerated loss of primordial follicles. Introducing gut bacteria at birth or weaning reversed these effects, as did supplementation with short-chain fatty acids alone (butyrate, isobutyrate, acetate). Dr. Dawn suggests ghee as a readily available butyrate source for those interested in the theoretical fertility-preservation benefit.

Professor William Taubman, guest author, recounts how, in March 1945, Robert McNamara served on Guam as a statistical advisor to General Curtis LeMay, where he played a pivotal role in shifting B-29 bombing tactics to low-altitude strikes. This strategy led to the devastating firebombing of Tokyo, killing approximately 100,000 civilians and prompting McNamara to later admit that they would have been condemned as "war criminals" had the U.S. lost. This early career highlighted his psychological compulsion to serve strong, demanding men—a trait forged by a cold, distant father and a driving mother who worshiped his brilliance while simultaneously infantilizing him.

MacKenzie Scott's  billionaire philanthropy, focusing heavily on the unprecedented impact and controversial nature of MacKenzie Scott's giving model. Research indicates that her trust-based approach, characterized by massive and unrestricted grants, has historically strengthened nonprofit sustainability, bolstered leadership confidence, and provided essential resources to underserved communities. While data suggests these gifts are transformative, some critics like Elon Musk have openly insulted her focus on diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI), and other scholars warn that such corporate-backed funding can subtly bias academic research and undermine democratic processes. Statistical reports further highlight that while U.S. charitable giving reached record highs in 2025, the sector is increasingly influenced by a small group of ultra-wealthy individuals. Ultimately, these sources portray a philanthropic field at a crossroads, balancing the benefits of flexible, large-scale funding against concerns regarding elite capture and ideological influence.

This podcast episode elucidates the evolving roles of fathers across generations, highlighting the significant shift from traditional roles of mere providers to the modern paradigm of engaged, nurturing co-parents. We delve into the historical context of Father's Day, tracing its inception and the gradual recognition of fathers' contributions to family dynamics. The discussion fervently examines the implications of these changes, as we contemplate both the advantages and challenges that accompany the evolving perceptions of fatherhood. Central to our dialogue is the acknowledgment of the myriad ways fathers are redefining their identities within familial structures, and we reflect upon personal anecdotes that illustrate these transformations. Ultimately, we invite listeners to consider how these shifts shape contemporary family life, while also celebrating the fathers who actively participate in nurturing and raising their children.Takeaways:The celebration of Father's Day has its historical roots, officially recognized as a holiday only in 1972.The role of fathers has evolved from traditional breadwinners to more active participants in child-rearing.Statistical evidence indicates that fathers today are more involved in childcare, spending significantly more time than in previous decades.There is a noticeable generational shift in perceptions of fatherhood, leading to more engaged and nurturing male figures in families.A significant change in societal dynamics has occurred, with fathers now expected to embrace emotional openness and vulnerability.Modern fatherhood is increasingly characterized by dual-income households, challenging traditional gender roles and expectations.

Aaron Brown is a quantitative analyst, risk manager, and author of the new book Wrong Number: How to Extract Truth from a Blizzard of Quantitative Disinformation. https://amzn.to/4frmg3n He's also about to debate gun control at the Soho Forum in August — and his preparation for that debate is a pretty good preview of what's in the book. Topics include: why out of 28,000 gun control studies, the RAND Corporation found only 20 that weren't statistically crippled; the smoking analogy and what it tells us about legislation that runs ahead of evidence; why gun laws burden legitimate owners and not criminals; why we have a crime problem, not a gun problem; The Lancet paper that claimed US aid saved 92 million lives; how to spot three red flags that tell you a statistic is BS; and Wonder Bread's motto "Helps build strong bodies 12 ways" — which nobody ever actually wrote down.

In this episode of Breaking Math, Autumn and Noah speak with Ron Wasserstein, Executive Director of the American Statistical Association, about what statistics means in a world increasingly shaped by AI, misinformation, and fragile public trust. Wasserstein argues that statistics is not merely a “bag of tools,” but a way of thinking: asking where data comes from, what it leaves out, how uncertainty should be communicated, and when numbers are being used to illuminate rather than manipulate.Chapters00:00 The Golden Age of Statistics02:36 AI's Impact on Statistics08:16 Data as Fuel for AI10:55 Bias in AI and Statistics14:01 Preparing Future Statisticians16:58 Bridging the Gap: Academia and Industry22:58 The Misconception of Statistics23:08 The Role of Statistics in Public Discourse26:20 The American Statistical Association's Mission32:18 Statistics and Politics: A Historical Perspective36:02 Addressing Misinformation and Misuse of Data39:51 The Importance of Statistical Literacy44:01 Misconceptions About Statistics and Expertise46:57 The Essence of Statistics47:22 Statistics as a Way of ThinkingFollow Ron WassersteinLinkedIn (https://www.linkedin.com/in/ron-wasserstein/)Follow Breaking Math onSubstack (https://breakingmath.substack.com/)Twitter (https://x.com/breakingmathpod)Instagram (https://www.instagram.com/breakingmathmedia/)Bluesky (https://bsky.app/profile/breakingmath.bsky.social)Website (https://www.breakingmath.io/)YouTube (https://www.youtube.com/@BreakingMathPod)Follow Noah onInstagram (https://www.instagram.com/profnoahgian/)Twitter (https://x.com/ProfNoahGian)Bluesky (https://bsky.app/profile/profnoahgian.bsky.social)Follow Autumn onTwitter (https://x.com/1autumn_leaf)Bluesky (https://bsky.app/profile/1autumnleaf.bsky.social)Instagram (https://www.instagram.com/1autumnleaf/)Substack (https://substack.com/@1autumnleaf)email: breakingmathpodcast@gmail.com

In order to promote the economic and social development of countries, you have to be clear about what economic and social development even means and how you'll measure these concepts. This is where official statistics excels. Many nations continue to build the capacity of their statistical systems to address the needs of their countries. Our episode today focuses on official statistics and statistical capacity development with guest Oliver Chinganya. Oliver Chinganya is the chairperson of the Board of Directors of the Zambia statistical agency, and co chair of the advisory board for Digital Earth Africa. He was recently appointed a senior advisor at the International Growth Center at the London School of Economics. Formerly, he was chairperson of the Board of Directors of the Zambia Statistical Agency and co-chair of the advisory board of the Georgia Africa until January 2025. Chinganya served as director of the African Center for Statistics and chief statistician at the UN Economic Commission for Africa, also known as UNICA. Until October 2025, he was vice president of the International Statistical Institute. His career also includes senior roles at the African Development Bank, the International Monetary Fund, and the Zambia Statistical Office. He is a fellow chartered statistician and chartered scientist of the Royal Statistical Society and is widely recognized for advancing statistical capacity and driving digital innovation across Africa.

In another absolutely unnecessary but deeply essential installment of Rush Rash, Chaz and Shatz return to the Boneless airwaves for what begins as a routine wheel spin and quickly devolves into a gloriously ramshackle prog symposium involving airport sightings, tribute band diplomacy, chorus pedals, drum violence, and the mysterious cosmic intelligence known only as… The Wheel.Along the way:Chaz encounters Peyton Manning in the Denver airport… is he going to see Rush this fall in Denver??.Alex Lifeson's new Analog Kid Double Chorus Pedal sends everyone spiraling into gear lust and riff worship.Getty Lee receives a gorgeous new custom Rickenbacker bass because apparently the universe still rewards cool people.The guys long for RUSHFest Scotland - this Weekend in Glasgow!And somehow, against all odds, the conversation keeps steering back toward Rush. Mostly.Then comes the spin.With only 67 songs left on the wheel, The Wheel delivers a sign: “Finding My Way.” The first track from the first Rush album. The very same song performed at the Junos. Coincidence? Statistical anomaly? Ancient Canadian prophecy? The hosts investigate with the scientific rigor of two men operating on coffee, enthusiasm, and questionable sleep schedules.From there, the episode turns unexpectedly heartfelt as the guys revisit the raw power of early Rush — John Rutsey's explosive drumming, Alex's wonderfully awkward opening riff, Getty sounding like a young man trying to punch through the ceiling of the universe, and the sheer joy of hearing a band discovering itself in real time.There are also sponsors. There is also shouting.No bones.

Lewis Weiss hosts another Manufacturing Round Table with economist Cliff Waldman and Chris Kuehl to compare the January Federal Reserve industrial production release and the ISM report. After a year-long manufacturing slump, they point to improving signals: manufacturing within industrial production rose 0.8% month over month with broad-based gains, and the ISM index climbed to 52.7, moving above the 50 expansion threshold. The discussion widens to global uncertainty affecting supply chains, shifting trade patterns as China routes production through other countries, and concern that U.S. policy risks damaging critical trade and supply-chain ties with Canada. They also highlight workforce shortages, demographics,  and unclear ROI from rapid AI investment.   00:00 Welcome and Agenda 01:45 Why These Reports Matter 02:22 Fed and ISM Show Uptick 03:24 Caution and Tariff Drag 04:54 Capital Spending on Hold 07:11 Global Uncertainty and Supply Chains 10:02 China Trade Shifts and Workarounds 13:28 Canada Risks and North America 17:48 Looking Ahead to 2026 19:05 Workforce Shortage and AI Hype 21:02 Training Pipelines and Demographics 27:24 Financing Manufacturing Startups 28:42 Wrap Up and Final Takeaways   Reports: January 2026 ISM® Manufacturing PMI® Report: https://www.ismworld.org/supply-management-news-and-reports/reports/ism-pmi-reports/pmi/january/ January Federal Reserve Statistical Release: https://www.federalreserve.gov/releases/g17/current/g17.pdf Learn more about your ad choices.

Galen Clavio drops a quick Friday “mini episode” with updates on Indiana football and a deep dive into what's happening with Indiana men's basketball under the hood.First: IU football news, including Broyles Award winner Bryant Haines and what it says about the credibility (and sustainability) of Indiana's defensive identity. Then Galen pivots to hoops with a detailed look at the advanced numbers—why IU's season has essentially become two different teams: an early stretch powered by defense, followed by a January run where the offense has become elite while the defense has slipped.Finally, Galen explains why those trendlines matter with Illinois and Purdue looming, what Indiana can realistically change late in the year, and how Big Ten Tournament seeding (and avoiding Wednesday) should shape the stretch-run mindset.

From Minnesota to Maine to California, massive fraud schemes are being uncovered — and questions remain about enforcement.

Micah Parsons almost went to Philadelphia instead of Green Bay—and his comments about wanting to play next to Jalen Carter reveal everything about what this defense needs. While fans obsess over cornerback, the real crisis is at defensive tackle, where the Packers rank 31st in run defense with a group averaging devastating PFF grades. This episode breaks down why our corners are actually better than our defensive tackles and what it means for the 2026 draft. Key discussion points: Micah Parsons' podcast appearance and what he revealed about elite defensive tackle play Statistical breakdown: Why Devonte Wyatt (53 PFF grade) is our BEST defensive tackle The myth of the 330-pound nose tackle—historical data proves technique beats weight Andrew from the Facebook group's defensive tackle manifesto and where I agree (and disagree) 2026 draft prospects: Dante Corleone, Darryl Jackson, and Grayson Halton film analysis Super Bowl LIX preview with betting trends, prop bets, and why Seattle should win This is a data-driven deep dive into the Packers' most overlooked positional need. We're examining PFF grades, historical draft success rates, and what it actually takes to find elite run defenders. Plus Super Bowl betting insights and why this year's game might be the most politically charged in NFL history. This episode is brought to you by PrizePicks!

Give feedback to help us improve the Clearer Thinking podcast! What does personality capture beyond momentary behavior, and how do traits differ from life specific adaptations? How stable are traits across the lifespan when we separate rank order from mean level change? Can psychotherapy shift core traits like neuroticism or mainly improve functioning at the same level? How much of behavior is the person, the situation, or their interaction, and how do traits shape the environments we end up in? What trade offs come with being high or low on extroversion, conscientiousness, agreeableness, openness, and neuroticism? Why do people high in neuroticism both perceive more stress and land in more stressful situations? Which life events reliably nudge traits and why do the same events push different people in opposite directions? When should we replace categorical diagnoses with dimensional spectra that align with the Big Five and guide unified treatments? Colin G.

In this episode, the discussion turns to a deceptively simple question that sits at the centre of countless nutrition debates: how much protein do we actually need? On one side, there are confident claims that very high protein intakes are not just beneficial but essential for maximising strength, performance, and muscle mass. On the other, equally strong assertions that the current RDA is entirely sufficient for most people, and that going beyond it is unnecessary or even harmful. Dr. Eric Helms and Dr. Matthew Nagra work through what the evidence actually tells us when we step away from slogans and thresholds. What does 0.8 g/kg represent, and just as importantly, what does it not? At what point do higher intakes stop meaningfully improving muscle-related outcomes? And where do concerns about kidney function, longevity, and chronic disease fit when we look at long-term data rather than isolated mechanisms? Rather than treating protein as a single number to defend or dismiss, this conversation places intake in context: training status, ageing, health outcomes, source and optimising for specific goals.

An interesting immigration statistical comparison between Trump in 2025 and Obama in 2012.Citing the limited resources available for immigration enforcement and the impossibility of deporting 11 million undocumented people, the Obama administration sought to prioritize the use of the agency's enforcement personnel, detention space, and removal assets. Noting that ICE could only remove an estimated 400,000 undocumented immigrants a year at most, representing less than 4% of the undocumented population in the U.S. during that time, the administration sought to channel limited resources towards more urgent threats. In a set of 2010 and 2011 memoranda from then-U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) Director John Morton, the Obama administration created three categories of undocumented immigrants that would be prioritized for arrest and deportation. The first priority consisted of undocumented immigrants who posed a threat to national security or public safety, including those engaged in or suspected of terrorism or espionage, those convicted of a crime or possessing outstanding criminal warrants, or those who participated in organized criminal gang activity. Within this priority category, ICE would draw distinctions based on the severity of convictions: level 1 offenders were convicted of aggravated felonies, level 2 offenders were convicted of any felony, and level 3 offenders were convicted of a misdemeanor.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

THE WHIZ KIDS AND FORD MOTOR COMPANY Colleague William Taubman. After the war, Tex Thorntonrecruited McNamara as part of the "Whiz Kids" team to modernize Ford Motor Company using statistical control methods, a role in which McNamara excelled and eventually rose to the presidency. Unlike his peers who settled in the executive enclave of Grosse Pointe, McNamara chose to live in the academic community of Ann Arbor, reflecting his desire to remain connected to intellectual life and serve society rather than focus solely on corporate profits. This period highlighted his tendency to serve strong, authoritative figures, a pattern that repeated with Henry Ford II, JFK, and LBJ. NUMBER 3 1929 CORD MOTOR COMPANY

Has any team ever lost four straight games and still made a Super Bowl run? With the Packers currently spiraling, we're diving deep into the historical data to find out exactly what we're dealing with. In this episode, we break down every team since 1999 that limped into the playoffs on a losing streak—from the 1999 Lions to the 2024 Steelers—and track their EPA and DVOA trends against where Green Bay sits right now. The results? Surprisingly hopeful. While most comparable teams went one-and-done, the Packers' final DVOA of 13.1 is actually HIGHER than all of them, and their regression pattern eerily mirrors the 2010 Super Bowl champions. We also shut down the Trevon Diggs fantasy with cold, hard PFF data—the Cowboys released him mid-week for a reason, and no, he's not better than what we have. Plus quick hits on Micah Parsons' successful ACL surgery and Zeke Elliott quietly filing retirement papers. The defense has tanked at minus-110 EPA per week while the offense holds steady. It's not impossible. It's just unlikely. And here's exactly how unlikely. This episode is brought to you by PrizePicks!

THE TALPIOT TOMB AND DNA EVIDENCE Colleague James Tabor. Discussing the Talpiot tomb, Tabor details ossuaries bearing names like "Jesus son of Joseph" and "Mariamne." He argues statistical clusters and potential DNA evidence suggest this is the Jesus family tomb, positing that physical remains support historical existence without necessarily negating the concept of spiritual resurrection.

Charles Burton Charles Burton discusses his book, The Beaver and the Dragon, illustrating China's fundamental untrustworthiness and statistical manipulation, which has intensified under centralized leadership, noting Canada's past cooperation with China's National Bureau of Statistics (NBS) failed as officials often falsely reported data, and despite historical deception and security risks, there is a push in Canada to increase trade with China to offset trade issues with the United States, with Burton cautioning that trusting the Chinese Communist Party has always "gone badly wrong."

PREVIEW Chinese Central Filtering of Canadian Statistical Assistance. Charles Burton discusses Canada's 1990s statistical assistance to China, noting how central filtering distorted the results. Authorities selectively used data that fit assumptions of success, ignoring negative information or using it only to improve tax extraction. The Canadians felt readily deceived due to China's reluctance to share negative truths. Guest: Charles Burton.
