Podcasts about Stem

Waarom word ik zo vaak hees? In anderhalve maand tijd is het al twee keer raak — en dat zet me aan het denken. Waar komt dat vandaan? Wat speelt er op de achtergrond?Als logopedist en stemcoach kan ik natuurlijk van alles afvinken, maar dit keer wil ik dieper graven. Ik deel mijn eigen ervaringen, wat ik hoor van andere vrouwen én wat ik ontdekte in gesprekken en artikelen over stem, hormonen en de (peri-)menopauze.Tijdens deze aflevering vertel ik ook over mijn ontmoeting met Tineke Honoré, (podcast TIJDENS DE PAUZE (aanrader) die mij een waardevol inzicht gaf in hoe hormonen werken. Je hoort hoe dat gesprek een lichtje bij me deed aangaan en misschien bij jou ook.Wat je meeneemt uit deze aflevering:Heesheid is niet altijd een kwestie van verkeerd stemgebruik.Je hormonen spelen een grotere rol dan je denkt.De overgang en peri-menopauze kunnen subtiele veranderingen geven in klank, souplesse en belastbaarheid van je stem.Bewustwording is de eerste stap naar beter stemgebruik.Luister en ontdek: Wat er écht gebeurt met je stem in de peri-menopauze en menopauze — en waarom dat allesbehalve ‘tussen je oren' zit.Downloadtip: Wil je meer weten over wat hormonen doen met je stem?

Dr. Jennifer Berry doesn't just talk about STEM—she redefines how student see themselves in it. As a leading voice in inclusive STEM education, Dr. Berry champions a powerful idea: STEM identity is not something students are born with—it's something they build. As the CEO of SmartLab, she is dedicated to bridging the gap between today's classrooms and tomorrow's workforce.Takeaways: Engaging students in hands-on learning experiences fosters both problem-solving skills and resilience in the face of failure. The integration of community involvement in educational ecosystems significantly enhances students' learning experiences and future opportunities. STEM identity is developed through numerous 'aha moments' that help students connect concepts meaningfully and deepen their understanding. Creating customized learning environments is essential for effective project-based learning, catering to diverse student needs and maximizing their potential. Students must be encouraged to embrace mistakes as vital learning opportunities that contribute to their growth and adaptability. Empowerment and resilience are crucial qualities that educators should foster in students to prepare them for challenges in a rapidly changing world.

I denne episode ser vi på den danske Máni-mission, der – hvis missionen bliver til noget – skal at sende et lille fartøj på godt 210 kilo op at tage billeder af Månens overflade. Fartøjet skal ifølge planen tage billeder af overfladen fra mange forskellige vinkler og så bruge variationen i lys og skygger til at rekonstruere terrænet i ekstrem detaljer. Det kan både bruges til forskning og til at planlægge landingssteder og måske baser for kommende missioner til Månen. Máni er et dansk forslag, men er samtidig et internationalt samarbejde med en lang række partnere. Udover flere universiteter, herhjemme og i Frankrig, er også DMI med i gruppen. Danske Space Inventor skal bygge satellitten, og det polske firma Scanway leverer teleskopet. Vi dykker meget dybere i ideerne og teknologien bag Máni, når vi har besøg i studiet af Jens Frydenvang fra Københavns Universitet. Vi skal dog også have et par aktuelle nyheder, denne gang blandt andet med friske historier fra årets rumkonference i Aalborg – og om et helt vildt projekt der vil bruge gigantiske spejle i kredsløb om Jorden til at sende sollys ned på planeten, der hvor der er mørkt.

Van valami különös abban a pillanatban, amikor egy felfedezés megszületik: egy apró gondolat, egy kérdés, amit addig senki nem tett fel, és hirtelen újraértelmeződik a világ. Ez a podcast azoknak a nőknek a történetéről szól, akik fel merik tenni ezeket a kérdéseket: fiatal kutatókról, mérnökökről, csillagászokról, matematikusokról, akik nemcsak figyelik, hanem formálják is a jövőt. Ez a STEM Sztorik, a Brain Bar és az SAP közös podcastja, ahol nemcsak a tudományról és a technológiáról hallhatsz, hanem a mögöttük lévő emberi történetekről is. Minden epizódban egy olyan nővel beszélgetünk, aki a saját területén új utakat nyit - mert a jövőt nemcsak elképzelni, hanem alkotni is lehet. Az első epizód vendége egy olyan kutató, aki már a kezdetekkor, Kanadában élve sejtette, mire lesz majd képes a mesterséges intelligencia. Iványi-Bitter Brigitta ma azzal foglalkozik, hogyan hozhatná helyre annak hiányosságait. Különleges képessége, hogy folyékonyan fordít a mérnökök nyelvéről a kultúráéra. Az adásban az AI-korszak legfontosabb kérdéseit tettük fel neki: halálra ítéli a mesterséges intelligencia a magyar kultúrát? És mit hogy ki az algoritmus a világból, ha azt csak férfiak írják?

What happens when a pharma trainer, academic workshop lead, and high school teacher are all the same person? You get a blueprint for science education that actually prepares students for real biotech work. We sit down with Maria Bennes, a biotech instructor at Blackstone Valley Regional Vocational High School, to unpack how tailored communication, hands-on practice, and community support turn nervous ninth graders into lab-ready talent.Maria traces the throughline of her career—education as audience-aware communication—from teaching doctors and patients about new therapies to running stem cell workshops for researchers, and now guiding teens through tissue culture, ELISAs, and bioreactors. She explains why BioBuilder stands out: a soup-to-nuts ecosystem of curriculum, purchasing pathways, troubleshooting support, and an active community that helps teachers deliver impactful labs under real-world constraints. The result is a PD model that's flexible, accessible, and grounded in biomanufacturing fundamentals like aseptic technique, upstream processes, and quality mindset.We also dive into the vocational program design that mirrors a workday: safety briefings, lab coats on, then hours of wet lab practice. Students earn OSHA 10, ACS safety, and Six Sigma micro-credentials while mastering pipetting, chromatography, Western blots, gel electrophoresis, transformations, and transfections. With equipment like biosafety cabinets, CO2 incubators, spectrophotometers, and small bioreactors, learners build muscle memory and judgment—not just vocabulary. The culture reframes “failure” as iteration, so confidence grows alongside competence.If you care about STEM pipelines, workforce readiness, or simply making science feel possible, this conversation offers practical takeaways for teachers, students, and industry partners. Subscribe, share with a colleague, and leave a review with the one lab skill you think every student should learn first.Learn more about BioBuilder's programs for students, educators, and industry professionals here

50 years ago today - in 1975 - 90% of women in Iceland took part in a nationwide protest over inequality. Instead of going to the office, doing housework or childcare, 25,000 women took to the streets, forcing factories and banks to close. It was known as the 'Women's Day Off' and fifty years on, Iceland still leads the world in gender parity, topping the Global Gender Gap Report for the 16th straight year. Anita Rani is joined by Tatjana Latinović, President of Icelandic Women's Rights Association and on the organising committee of today's strike, and Kristín Ástgeirsdottir, former Women's Alliance MP and former director of the Icelandic Centre for Gender Equality. Tiggy Walker was married to the legendary BBC broadcaster Johnnie Walker, for 23 years before his death last year. Johnnie presented his 'Sounds of the 70s' show on Radio 2 right up until two months before he died. Tiggy was his full-time carer and joins Anita to talk about the emotional toll of caring for her soulmate Johnnie after his terminal diagnosis, as described in her new book, Both Sides Now.Former NASA astronaut Anna Fisher talks about becoming the world's first ‘mom in space'. In 1978 Anna, an American emergency doctor, was accepted by NASA onto their astronaut programme, during the space agency's largest and most diverse recruitment drive. In 1984, Anna took off on the Space Shuttle Discovery, leaving behind her 14-month-old daughter. Anna joins Anita to talk about how that decision triggered intense media scrutiny and looks back on her trailblazing career, as featured in a new BBC 2 documentary, ‘Once Upon a Time in Space.'Stephanie Travers is a trailblazer with an impressive list of firsts during her career. She became the first black female trackside fluid engineer in Formula 1 after beating 7,000 other applicants. She is also the first black woman to stand on an F1 podium after being personally invited by the team to collect the Constructor's Trophy at the 2020 Styrian Grand Prix. Today, she's moved into a new role as Senior Impact Manager at Mission 44, Sir Lewis Hamilton's foundation which is focused on diversity and inclusion. Stephanie joins Anita to discuss diversifying motorsports and making STEM and motorsport careers more accessible to young people from underrepresented backgrounds.Presenter: Anita Rani Producer: Rebecca Myatt

The 2025 I Wish Survey has found that more than half of girls in single-sex schools see limited subject choice as a barrier to pursuing STEM. The annual 2025 Survey of Female Students' Attitudes to STEM by I Wish - a national non-profit that empowers girls to see the potential of STEM - also reveals stark differences between single-sex and mixed schools. Among the 2,335 Transition Year female students surveyed in single-sex schools, just 5% reported access to Construction Studies and 6% to Engineering, compared with 84% and 74% respectively in mixed schools. This trend reflects the national outlook, with the Department of Education's 2024 Indicator Report showing that only 71% of girls' schools offer at least one STEM subject beyond Maths or Science, compared with 96% of boys' schools. These findings highlight the structural barriers that continue to shape subject choice for girls in single-sex schools, limiting early exposure to key STEM pathways. The report calls for urgent action to ensure equal access to STEM education for every girl in Ireland. Central to this mission is the 11th annual I Wish Festival, taking place on 5 February 2026 at the RDS Dublin, which will bring together over 4,000 students to hear from leading female voices in global STEM industries. Registration is now open at iwish.ie/tickets/. Speaking at the launch of the Report at Government Buildings, Taoiseach Micheál Martin said: "I Wish continues to play a pivotal role in inspiring the next generation of girls to pursue futures in STEM. As technology and AI rapidly evolve, Ireland must have a strong pipeline of diverse talent ready to meet that challenge. The latest report from I Wish reinforces that early engagement is essential. This Government is fully committed to addressing the barriers facing females in STEM and ensuring every girl has the opportunity to shape their future through science, technology, engineering and mathematics." I Wish co-founder, Gillian Keating, added: "We're seeing real progress as more young women than ever before are pursuing STEM at third level, and that's something to celebrate. But this year's findings make it clear that the pipeline is still too narrow at the start. Limited subject choices, particularly in single-sex schools, continue to restrict girls' opportunities. Exposure drives opportunity. "The I Wish Festival is part of that journey, a vibrant, high-energy space where girls can experience STEM in action, meet inspiring women, and start to imagine their own futures in these fields." After a successful two-year pilot, I Wish have announced a new partnership with Logitech to scale its Primary Programme, which helps boost girls' confidence in STEM from a younger age through alumni talks, industry visits and hands-on experiments. Participation in the programme grew by 38% in 2025, reaching 265 students. However, confidence remains a concern - just half (49%) of students at primary level said they felt good at maths only sometimes, while 17% were not confident in STEM. I Wish co-founder, Caroline O'Driscoll, said: "Early intervention is critical. Almost half of the students express a growing anxiety about maths, and that's a concern. On a more positive note, 50% of students want more STEM activities in the classroom, with 95% of girls saying they believed that girls can be just as good as boys in STEM. That curiosity and confidence need to be nurtured. "Interestingly, we are also seeing a really strong link between sport and confidence. The data shows a clear difference: girls who play sport are more confident in STEM subjects, school life, and even speaking up in class - often by 10 to 15 percentage points. Building that connection between sport and STEM helps develop resilience, teamwork and problem-solving skills that open the door to underrepresented STEM fields." The I Wish 2025 Survey of Female Students' Attitudes to STEM sets out a roadmap for change, calling for early access to STEM education for all girls, ...

Synopsis: Host Rahul Chaturvedi sits down with Geoffrey Duyk, Chief Executive Officer of Grove Biopharma, for a wide-ranging conversation on navigating today's biotech macro headwinds and building companies that can translate breakthrough science into real patient impact. Dr. Duyk traces his journey from Harvard/Millennium/Exelixis operator to TPG investor and back to company creation, explaining how board dynamics, capital cycles, and policy shifts shape execution. They dig into why this cycle feels uniquely tough—patent cliffs, reimbursement uncertainty, NIH pressures—and who funds innovation in the meantime. Duyk outlines root causes of R&D inefficiency (misaligned capital vs. 20-year timelines, shaky preclinical predictability, costly trials, underused real-world data) and makes the case for rebuilding public trust and STEM education. Then, a deep dive on Grove Biopharma: precision polymer science that creates antibody-like, fully synthetic, cell-permeable protein mimetics to tackle historically “intractable” intracellular protein–protein interactions. Duyk shares design principles, why modular/orthogonal chemistry matters, predictable pharmacology, and lessons from fundraising and board management—plus why he's helping grow a Chicago-centered biotech ecosystem.

2026 TOK Essay Title 2: To what extent do you agree that doubt is central to the pursuit of knowledge? Answer with reference to two areas of knowledge. This title seems to pick up in the middle of a debate about the nature of knowledge, and how it has shifted over time… particularly with the 21st century focus on STEM, and a scientific approach to knowledge. For me, as an art teacher, the idea that doubt is essential to the pursuit of knowledge is counter-intuitive, even corrosive; how can one create without a measure of belief? I recognized the deep, conflicting roles doubt plays in our two fields. To bridge that ideological gap and truly understand the scientific methodology, I pulled a brilliant Physics teacher away from his formulas and into a necessary conversation.

Wat is de werkelijke wereld?De werkelijke wereld is een symbool, zoals al het overige wat waarneming te bieden heeft. Toch staat ze voor iets wat tegengesteld is aan wat jij hebt gemaakt. Jouw wereld wordt gezien door ogen vol angst en levert je denkgeest de bewijzen van verschrikking. De werkelijke wereld kan alleen waargenomen worden met ogen die door vergeving zijn gezegend, zodat ze een wereld zien waarin verschrikking onmogelijk is en bewijzen voor angst niet kunnen worden gevonden.De werkelijke wereld bevat een tegenhanger voor elke ongelukkige gedachte die zich in jouw wereld weerspiegelt, een feilloze correctie voor de beelden van angst en de geluiden van strijd waar jouw wereld vol van is. De werkelijke wereld toont een wereld die anders wordt gezien, door kalme ogen en met een vredige denkgeest. Daar heerst niets dan rust. Kreten van pijn en verdriet zijn daar niet te horen, want daar rest niets behalve vergeving. En de beelden zijn er vriendelijk. Alleen blije beelden en geluiden kunnen doordringen tot de denkgeest die zichzelf vergeven heeft.Wat voor behoefte heeft zo'n denkgeest aan doodsgedachten, aanval- en moordgedachten? Wat kan hij anders om zich heen zien dan geborgenheid, liefde en vreugde? Wat is er dat hij zou verkiezen te verwerpen en wat is er waartegen hij oordelen wil? De wereld die hij ziet komt voort uit een denkgeest die met zichzelf in vrede is. In niets wat hij ziet loert enig gevaar, want hij is zachtaardig, en zachtaardigheid is het enige wat hij ziet.De werkelijke wereld is het symbool dat de droom van zonde en schuld voorbij is en Gods Zoon niet langer slaapt. Zijn wakkere ogen zien de on twijfelbare weerspiegeling van de Liefde van zijn Vader, de stellige belofte dat hij is verlost. De werkelijke wereld markeert het einde van de tijd, want haar aanblik maakt tijd zinloos.De Heilige Geest heeft de tijd niet nodig als die Zijn doel heeft gediend. Nu wacht Hij slechts dat ene ogenblik nog tot God Zijn laatste stap zet, dan is de tijd verdwenen en heeft in zijn heengaan waarneming met zich meegenomen en enkel de waarheid achtergelaten om zichzelf te zijn. Dat ogenblik is ons doel, want het bevat de Godsherinnering. En terwijl we een vergeven wereld aanschouwen is Hij het die ons roept en mee naar huis komt nemen, en ons herinnert aan onze Identiteit, die onze vergeving aan ons teruggegeven heeft.LES 296De Heilige Geest spreekt vandaag met mijn stem.De Heilige Geest heeft vandaag mijn stem nodig, zodat heel de wereld kan luisteren naar Uw Stem en via mij Uw Woord kan horen. Ik ben vastbesloten U door mijn stem te laten spreken, want ik wil geen andere woorden dan de Uwe gebruiken, en geen gedachten hebben die losstaan van die van U, want alleen de Uwe zijn waar. Ik wil de verlosser zijn van de wereld die ik heb gemaakt. Want omdat ik haar vervloekt heb, wil ik haar bevrijden, zodat ik een uitweg kan vinden en het Woord kan horen dat Uw heilige Stem vandaag tot mij spreken zal.We onderwijzen vandaag alleen wat we willen leren, en anders niets. En dus wordt ons leerdoel er een zonder conflict, dat makkelijk bereikt en snel volbracht kan worden. Met hoeveel blijdschap komt de Heilige Geest ons verlossen uit de hel, wanneer we Zijn onderricht toelaten de wereld, via ons, ertoe te bewegen om het makkelijke pad naar God te zoeken en te vinden.Alle tekst- werk en handboek klassen van Een Cursus in Wonderen met Elbert nu te beluisteren en te bekijken op https://decursusmetelbert.nl

Math requirements create persistent barriers on the transfer path, but how exactly do they block student progress? In this episode, we explore "A Complex Equation: Confronting Math Obstacles on the Transfer Path," a new report from Just Equations.Authors Pamela Burdman, Robin Hale, and Jenn BeVard join host Heather Adams to discuss their research revealing how math anxiety, complex requirements, and scheduling challenges create a "Gate, Maze, and Pace" that particularly impacts STEM transfer students. The conversation explores why these barriers persist despite good intentions, examines fundamental policy tensions that make reform difficult, and offers practical recommendations for improving transfer success. Click the links to learn more!Just Equations  Read the "Complex Equation" Report Meet the Authors: Pamela Burdman, Executive Director  Alexis Robin Hale, Research FellowJenn BeVard, Director of Operations and ProgramsShow CreditsHost | Dr. Heather AdamsProducers | Rhian Waterberg, Emily KittrellSound Editing | Abraham Urias Keep talking with Transfer NationIG: @WeAreTransferNationLinkedIn: Transfer Nation Page TikTok: @TransferNationFB Group: Transfer NationEmail: WeAreTransferNation@gmail.com Talk soon!#TransferPride #TransferSuccess #TransferChampion #TNTalks #TransferNation

In this episode, Kathy and Linda talk with Catherine Jackson Jones, a coach and mentor with the National Math and Science Initiative (NMSI), a nonprofit organization dedicated to expanding STEM opportunities for students and empowering educators to bring real-world STEM experiences into classrooms across the country.Catherine shares how NMSI builds awareness and access to STEM fields, particularly for students in under-resourced and rural communities. Through long-term partnerships with school districts, NMSI provides professional development for teachers and administrators, helping them integrate critical thinking, communication, and problem-solving skills into every subject. Catherine explains how the initiative creates lasting change by training educators to sustain programs long after NMSI's involvement, ensuring equity and opportunity for all students.Catherine also opens up about her personal journey — growing up in poverty, being the first in her family to graduate college, and how a single teacher's belief in her changed the trajectory of her life. That experience fuels her passion for helping students see their own worth and possibilities, no matter where they come from.Together, they explore:How NMSI supports teachers and districts to create engaging, hands-on STEM learningThe importance of exposure, opportunity, and representation in STEM educationThe ripple effect one teacher or mentor can have on generations of learnersHow engagement and curiosity transform learning environmentsBreaking cycles of poverty through education and belief in possibilityAsk the (Not) ExpertA listener asks:“I have a team project with all boys. None of them want to do any work, and I don't want to get a bad grade. What do I do?”Catherine shares her teacher's perspective: divide responsibilities clearly, let everyone choose their section, and document who's responsible for what. That way, teachers can fairly assess individual contributions — a real-world lesson in accountability and teamwork.Rapid Fire QuestionsFavorite STEM book: Alchemy of the Mind, by Diane AckermanFavorite college course: Shakespeare with Dr. ReyBest advice ever received: “You're bigger than the moments that surround you.” – Theresa Smith, the teacher who changed her lifeEpisode TakeawayCatherine's story is a testament to the power of education, mentorship, and believing in others. Her passion for teaching — and for helping students realize their potential — reminds us that opening even one door can change entire families and communities.Learn MoreVisit the National Math and Science Initiative at www.nms.org to learn how to get involved, support programs, or explore partnership opportunities.Support the show

Quick Summary: The program focused on discussing space architecture developments over the past 18 years, including the impact of reduced launch costs and the current state of lunar mission initiatives. The conversation covered technical details of lunar construction projects, including power requirements, reactor deployment, and the development of construction equipment and materials for moon bases. The discussion concluded with an overview of funding sources, regulatory challenges, and educational programs related to lunar exploration, emphasizing the importance of NASA partnerships and commercial opportunities in space infrastructure development. Joining us in the program were John Jossy, John Hunt, Bill Gowan, Marshall Martin, and Dr. Ajay Kotari.David and Sam discussed the significant changes in space architecture over the past 18 years since he was first a guest on The Space Show. Sam highlighted the reduction in launch costs as a key enabler. Sam explained his focus on using plant material for industrial processes like 3D printing on the moon. The discussion concluded with an overview of upcoming Space Show programs and a reminder about listener-supported fundraising efforts including Substack subscriptions.Sam discussed the significant impact of reduced launch costs on space exploration, highlighting SpaceX's role in this development. He expressed concerns about the U.S. lagging behind China in lunar missions and emphasized the importance of maintaining a strong pace in space leadership. Sam also detailed Astroport's efforts to build moon ports, including the development of a 15-acre testbed in Midland, Texas (west Texas) to simulate lunar conditions for testing construction and engineering techniques. He stressed the need for further research into civil engineering and geotechnics for moon base construction, as well as the importance of cargo complement and autonomous construction technology.We talked quite a bit about landing pads and Sam showed creative videos of their lunar development, construction and land pad plans via Zoom screen sharing. Sam explained that while the Artemis III landing pad is planned for the 2030s, their fusion surface power program might require building the power reactor foundation first, which would involve bringing construction equipment in the first landing. They are developing a brick bot as a technology demonstrator to be launched by 2028, and while they have some interface with Starship, they are not directly working with them. Sam emphasized the importance of standardized containerized cargo for logistics, Our Space Show program team asked about the power requirements for various tasks, noting that NASA mentions 100 kilowatts but questioning if more power would be needed for activities like sintering regolith and building roads.Sam also explained the power requirements for their lunar construction project, noting that while 20 kilowatts is sufficient for brickmaking, more power is needed for other tasks. He described plans to use portable solar power towers to generate energy for rovers and construction equipment, with potential suppliers including Astrobotic and Honeybee. Our guest also emphasized that they would act as general contractors, subcontracting various components to partners like Astrobotic for mobility platforms and other utilities. He concluded by showing an additional video of the construction layout and deployment process for the reactor and associated equipment.We discussed the development of lunar landing pads give I asked him to describe one in detail. Sam said that they would be 100 meters in diameter with a 50-meter target landing area and a 25-meter apron. He described the construction materials, including interlocking bricks that are 50 millimeters thick, and highlighted challenges in creating bricks in a vacuum environment due to outgassing. He also presented their work on material science, including the use of biomass to create 3D-printed tiles and the development of an excavator with interchangeable implements for lunar construction.Our guest explained the system architecture for a brick-making demonstration on the moon, aiming to combine multiple processes into one platform to create bricks in a vacuum by 2028. He described a subscale vibrating compactor being developed and its power requirements. The group discussed the layout for a lunar base, including the need to place a nuclear reactor over a kilometer away from the habitation zone for radiation protection and to prevent blast effects from affecting assets. John Jossy questioned why the initial landing couldn't be closer to the reactor site, but Sam clarified that the initial landing would be automated and not intended for return, with the goal of establishing a permanent outpost. Radiation exposure was a reason and safety measure were being carefully planned and designed into the project.The team discussed the logistics of deploying a nuclear reactor and associated equipment on the moon, focusing on the challenges of cargo capacity and the need to bring multiple pieces of equipment for both the reactor and landing pad construction. They explored options for power transmission, including the possibility of wireless power transmission, and discussed additional radiation protection measures, with Marshall suggesting the use of topology and walls to shield the reactor. Sam mentioned their work on the Lido mission in the Marius Hills area, which includes developing technologies for accessing and utilizing lava tubes, though these are not currently present at the South Pole site being considered.I asked about his sources o funding and if he was already generating revenue. Sam explained that Astroport is funded through NASA contracts and DOD contracts, with revenue generated through R&D, and they are preparing for Phase 3 funding next year. The team discussed reactor options, with John Hunt suggesting a pebble bed reactor, and Sam noted they will follow NASA's chosen provider for the reactor. I inquired about his regulatory issues and challenges for putting equipment on the Moon and developing it much like the development of a large r/e project here on Earth. Sam mentioned regulatory and legal challenges for lunar operations, including the need for state government sanction and licensing, while John Hunt raised concerns about radiation exposure during human landings, which our guest suggested could be addressed by shutting down the reactor temporarily.Sam discussed the progress and challenges of developing lunar infrastructure in collaboration with Orbit Fab, focusing on water supply and fuel processing. He highlighted the need for further research on lunar dust impact on machinery and potential partnerships with humanoid robotic companies.Before concluding, I asked Sam to discuss his nonprofit WEX Foundation for middle school stem programs. I also stated I would like to do a separate Space Show program focused on WEX. Sam shared insights into the WEX Foundation's STEM education program, which aims to engage middle school students in space exploration. Listen to the program which he described in some detail.Our discussion concluded with a conversation about the logistics and funding of lunar missions, with Sam emphasizing the importance of NASA as an anchor customer and the potential for commercial customers in the future.Special thanks to our sponsors:Northrup Grumman, American Institute of Aeronautics and Astronautics, Helix Space in Luxembourg, Celestis Memorial Spaceflights, Astrox Corporation, Dr. Haym Benaroya of Rutgers University, The Space Settlement Progress Blog by John Jossy, The Atlantis Project, and Artless EntertainmentOur Toll Free Line for Live Broadcasts: 1-866-687-7223 (Not in service at this time)For real time program participation, email Dr. Space at: drspace@thespaceshow.com for instructions and access.The Space Show is a non-profit 501C3 through its parent, One Giant Leap Foundation, Inc.

Stem cell therapy is at the forefront of providing groundbreaking treatments for conditions ranging from joint pain to autoimmune disorders.However, with its vast potential, it also raises important ethical questions, especially around sourcing and regulation.In this episode, Dr. Joy Kong breaks down the ethical considerations in stem cell therapy. She explains how stem cells are sourced ethically, specifically from umbilical cords, and dispels common misconceptions around the ethics of using stem cells for treatment.She describes how the process works, including the rigorous screening protocols for both donors and tissue collection.Dr. Kong also shares her thoughts on the controversial use of embryonic stem cells and contrasts that with the use of mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) that are derived from umbilical cords.Unlike embryonic stem cells, umbilical-derived MSCs do not involve ethical dilemmas as they come from healthy, living births, and the collection process is entirely voluntary, with strict guidelines in place to avoid exploitation.If you've ever questioned the ethics behind stem cell treatments or want to understand the reality of stem cell sourcing and use, this episode is a must-listen.Key TakeawaysIntroduction (00:00)Historical context of stem cells (00:52)Types of stem cells and their functions (03:49)Safety and efficacy of stem cell therapy (06:51)Ethical considerations and stem cell sources (07:38)Case studies and practical applications (17:44)Combining stem cell therapy with light therapy (30:23)Holistic approach to stem cell therapy (35:07)Challenges and successes in stem cell treatment (37:36)Final thoughts (43:04)Additional Resources:✨ Learn more about how to live a long and pain-free life: https://joykongmd.com/ ✨ Follow me on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/stemcelldrjoy/ ✨ Follow me on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/dr_joy_kong/ —Dr. Joy Kong is a regenerative medicine and anti-aging expert.

Stem cells sit quietly in protective niches until growth factors wake them, chemokines guide them to damaged tissue, and local signals shape them into exactly what's needed. We invited Dr. Dan Pardi, Chief Health Officer at Qualia Life Sciences, to break down that invisible choreography—why it weakens with age and how to support it without pushing the system into overdrive.We start by making stem cells simple: potency tiers, key types like hematopoietic and mesenchymal, and what “exhaustion” really means. Dan explains how inflammation, mitochondrial dysfunction, and epigenetic drift—core hallmarks of aging—distort the niche and blunt self-renewal. From there, we map the full life cycle: quiescence, activation, mobilization, migration, and differentiation guided by ancient pathways like Wnt, Notch, and Sonic Hedgehog. Understanding this sequence clarifies the therapy landscape, from evidence-backed marrow transplants to targeted orthopedic injections, and why unproven IV offerings can be risky.If you care about healthy aging, joint health, recovery, and evidence-based wellness, this conversation offers a grounded roadmap. We keep the science clear, the hype in check, and the focus on balance—protect, pulse, and let biology do its best work.

Scripture: Luke 17:11-17  11 Now on his way to Jerusalem, Jesus traveled along the border between Samaria and Galilee. 12 As he was going into a village, ten men who had leprosy[a] met him. They stood at a distance 13 and called out in a loud voice, “Jesus, Master, have pity on us!” 14 When he saw them, he said, “Go, show yourselves to the priests.” And as they went, they were cleansed. 15 One of them, when he saw he was healed, came back, praising God in a loud voice. 16 He threw himself at Jesus' feet and thanked him—and he was a Samaritan. 17 Jesus asked, “Were not all ten cleansed? Where are the other nine?

Get started with 1 month free of Superhuman today, using my link: https://try.sprh.mn/briankeating Today's guest made bacteria immune to every virus that exists. This breakthrough could revolutionize medicine by creating virus proof cell therapies and potentially extending this protection to human cells. Also demonstrating that we can fundamentally rewrite the language of life itself, something that was previously thought impossible. George Church is a Harvard Medical School genetics professor and pioneer of synthetic biology. He's an entrepreneur who's found in multiple biotech companies and is known for pushing the boundaries between science fiction and reality. His team just did something that sounds like pure science fiction. They made living cells completely immune to every virus on Earth. That resistant immune, every single virus that tries to infect your cells just fails. The viruses can't evolve around it. Here's the wild part. They didn't add anything new. They just removed a few letter from the genetic alphabet. But George isn't stopping there. He wants to do this to human cells. He's talking about engineering astronauts for Mars missions, bringing back wooly mammoths, and maybe even, just maybe, making humans virus proof to the implications are staggering. The ethics are murky. And the timeline. Well, if church's track record tells us anything is happening far faster than we think.
