What can psychologists do the make pilots and astronauts' decision making better under duress? Can we anticipate the psychological issues of planned long distance space missions to Mars? How can we shift the shame culture for pilots and astronauts around reporting unidientified anomolous phenomena?In this episode we have the unique field of Space psychology to look into; So we discuss the psychology of military pilots and astronauts working under such extreme conditions; and the intuitive skill sets developed under such high pressure, split second decision situations; we discuss the cognitive engineering required to match the design of instruments to the cognitive needs of the pilots and astronauts; we get into alternatives methods of expertise exchange apart from the usual text book approach which have had extraordinary decision making results for pilot and astronaut performance. We also discuss the issues for pilots around reporting of UFO encounters, and the implications for space psychology of the new bout of main stream interest following the New York Times 2017 expose of military incidents.So who better to help us understand the minds of pilots and astronauts than space psychologist, cognitive engineer, astronaut instructor and Director of the Centre of Space Medicine at UCL in London, Dr. Iya Whitely. She's helped design training programs and conducted studies for the European Space Agency, The Gagarin Cosmonaut Training Centre in Russia, and presented he research for the USAirforce and Nasa. Dr. Whitely is also a pilot, rescue scuba diver and competitive sky diver! She's written 11 scientific papers, and three books, “Toolkit of a Space Psychologist, to support astronauts on exploration missions to the moon and mars”, “Earth Designs” for toddlers, and her new book “Born Knowing”, which we get onto at the end.What we discuss:00:00 Intro.05:30 Iya's path into Cognitive Engineering.18:35 Decision making research.28:00 Iya's method led to 200/cent increase in decision making speed.21:40 Professional intuition.43:00 Surgeon expertise transmission study55:45 Astronaut psychology - Alexei Leonov, first space walk near-disaster, 1965.01:06:00 ESA human, long-distance space flight study.01:13:00 Nature solves problems using resources available locally - Biomimetics, Dr Olga Bogatyreva.01:27:10 Mars 500: 520 day simulated Mars mission trial.01:31:30 Space colonisation psychology.01:40:40 Difficulty reintegrating with terrestrial society after missions to space.01:43:00 “The Overview Effect” when earth is seen from space.01:50:30 Taboo around reporting of anomolous phenomena for pilots and astronauts.01:53:15 Ryan Graves is speaking out in congress about repeated UFO safety concerns.02:01:00 Astronauts can't risk to speak about this as it will affect their careers.02:13:00 Navy have implemented a new reporting protocol and office, AARO.02:21:30 Iya at the Sol Foundation: Garry Nolan & Diana Pasulka.02:29:30 Pilot Jake Baba - reporting issue with the phenomena.02:39:10 Telepathic autistic children, called ‘spellers'.

Tarik Skubal is the latest athlete to return to play faster than anticipated thanks to a new surgical technique or technology. But there’s something even better than coming back more quickly from an injury: avoiding an injury in the first place. Can injury prevention be improved as much as injury treatment? In this themed episode, Ben Lindbergh talks to four guests about three potential ways to keep players healthy. First (5:14), Mariners biomechanist Cedric Attias joins to discuss how pitching mechanics affect elbow stress, whether injuries stem more from nature or nurture, and whether MLB teams are prioritizing injury research. Second (49:23), Daryl and Adam Moreau, the father-and-son inventors of FlexProGrip, explain how forearm weakness endangers the UCL, how they designed and validated their training tool, and how the device has been adopted in the game. Third (1:41:18), Steve Rowson, director of the Helmet Lab at Virginia Tech, shares how helmets have improved across sports, why dangerous impacts are different in football and baseball, and why catcher’s masks may need an overhaul to minimize concussions.

Good policy depends on evidence, but the statistical methods behind the best research are complex and few policy-makers can master them in depth. So how do we equip people to engage critically with research without being trained statisticians? A new module on UCL's Masters programmes tackles exactly this, teaching students to think rigorously about what conclusions can and cannot be drawn from research - from measurement and causal inference to the gap between credibility and real-world meaningfulness. Host Alan Renwick is joined by the module's creator, Dr Julia de Romémont, Lecturer in Quantitative Research Methods and Political Science at the UCL Department of Political Science. Mentioned in this episode: 'Evidence and Policy' Module

In this conversation, host Tad Hussey (KIS Organics) and Dr. Deron Caplan (CannaCribs Horticulture Consulting) discuss the intersection of agricultural science and commercial cannabis cultivation, focusing heavily on irrigation, lighting, and research methodologies. Drought Stress vs. Drybacks: Dr. Caplan clarifies a major industry misconception by distinguishing standard irrigation "drybacks" from actual "drought stress." He explains that drybacks work primarily by pulling oxygen into the root zone (which cannabis loves), whereas true drought stress requires pushing the plant past the point of water availability. The Nuance of Cannabinoid Bumps: While Dr. Caplan's landmark PhD research found that controlled drought stress in week seven of flowering could boost THC/CBD content by 30% to 40% without losing yield, he notes that repeating this in smaller pots with faster drybacks yielded no positive results. This highlights just how incredibly nuanced and difficult it is to trigger beneficial plant stress without harming the crop. Organics vs. Mineral Salts at Scale: The two debate the logistics of commercial cultivation. While mineral salts offer strict baseline consistency and easier pathogen sterilization for medical export markets, Dr. Caplan notes that data-driven, evidence-based living soil systems have come a long way and are proving to be increasingly scalable. Debunking the Leaf-Tip Cloning Myth: Dr. Caplan shares that his early research on propagation disproved a ubiquitous legacy market myth: cutting the tips off clone leaves actually reduces rooting success, unless leaves are so large that they are actively shading adjacent clones. Advanced Canopy Management: They discuss the massive yield and quality benefits (15% to 20% increases) of under-canopy lighting (UCL). Dr. Caplan details how commercial facilities can use a PAR meter to calculate the Leaf Area Index (LAI) to mathematically standardize how much foliage to prune, rather than relying on visual guesswork. The Future of Research: Dr. Caplan highlights his new commercial R&D facility in Canada designed to test applied science practices. They close by discussing the validity of peer-reviewed data versus private white papers, concluding that regardless of a grower's background, scientific data is the ultimate tool for bridging the gap between organic and conventional cultivation.

Have you ever been told that the thing you need to get better doesn't exist on the NHS but quietly, it does?This week I'm joined by Dr. Simon Erridge, medical doctor, UCL researcher, and one of the UK's leading voices in medical cannabis. Simon has a way of cutting through the stigma and the noise and what he shares isn't about getting high. It's about patients who've tried everything, suffered for years, and finally found relief.What we explore together:What medical cannabis actually is and why it's nothing like what you probably picture when you hear the word cannabisWhy the UK is one of the highest opioid-prescribing countries in the world, and what that tells us about how we treat chronic painWhat's actually happening in the brain with PTSD and how medical cannabis can help decouple the trauma from the memory itselfThe shocking contamination rates in illicit cannabis, and why the black market route puts people at real riskWho shouldn't use medical cannabis, and the conditions where it's not appropriateThe full range of conditions being treated right now: from migraines, Crohn's disease and MS to anxiety, depression, OCD and cancer-related symptomsIf you or someone you love has been living with chronic pain, PTSD, endometriosis, or any condition that feels like it has no solution this one is for you.Love, Sarah Ann
What does it take to keep grinding when the stadium lights fade, your organization is no longer behind you, and you are left facing a grueling two-year recovery entirely on your own? In this powerful episode of Very Bold Radio and Podcast, host Steve Teel sits down for a dynamic third interview with professional baseball pitcher and certified flamethrower, Jacob Coats. After touching an unofficial 101 MPH on the radar gun and pitching within the Houston Astros organization, Jacob faced a career-altering hurdle: a torn UCL ligament requiring major Tommy John surgery. Jacob opens up about the silent, lonely two-year battle of rehabilitation without a team holding him accountable, the profound mental and spiritual warfare he faced in empty training facilities, and the unique motivating factors—including family, his fiancee Emily, and the future dream of playing catch with his own children—that kept him from walking away. Fast forward to last season: signed by the Gary SouthShore RailCats, Jacob transitioned into a dominant new role as a true, high-adrenaline closer. He shares what it felt like to lock down 13 saves, post a 2.89 ERA, hold opposing hitters to a staggering .195 average, and ultimately earn a spot at the 2025 American Association All-Star Game. Beyond the stats, this conversation pulls back the curtain on the raw reality of independent baseball—from 11-hour overnight bus rides and bed bugs to the incredible power of stadium chaplains and team prayers. More than anything, Jacob shares how he uses his baseball platform not for personal glory, but as a bold testament to God’s healing power and presence. Key Takeaways & Highlights The Mental & Spiritual Battle of Rehab: Jacob details the deep isolation of a two-year recovery outside of affiliated ball, explaining how he leaned on the power of prayer and explicitly rebuked negative thoughts to protect his mind during the hardest days. Thriving Under Pressure in the 9th: Discover the strict, granular 12-to-14-hour daily routine of an independent ball player and why Jacob thrives on the "do-or-die" adrenaline of slamming the door shut as a closer. The Reality of the "Indy Ball" Grind: A candid look at the unglamorous side of chasing a dream, featuring late-night drives, hostile hotel environments, and the deep player camaraderie built through shared struggle. America's Pastime as a Platform: Why baseball serves as a unique bridge for patriotism, family connection, and spreading the Gospel. A Full-Circle All-Star Moment: Jacob recalls his favorite highlights from the past season, including closing out a spectacular Friday night game with his parents on the field to watch the fireworks with him for the first time since his surgery.

Three months of US efforts to tame Iran, and Donald Trump is in a bind - there's still no deal, and Iran has a stranglehold on the Straits of Hormuz. Oil price rises mean the cost of filling up the car is painful for many Americans, and that could spell trouble for the Republicans in the upcoming mid-term elections. But the US stock market is buoyant and Trump seem unperturbed - so is he far more in control of all this than he seems? Is he using 'madman theory' to keep his enemies guessing? Phil and Roger ask Dr James Boys, senior research fellow at UCL's Centre on US Politics, and author of "US Grand Strategy and the Madman Theory" Hosted on Acast.

As electricity demand rises and renewable generation continues to expand, the same question keeps arising: how do we keep power systems reliable, affordable and resilient? This week, Michael Liebreich is joined by Håkan Agnevall, CEO of Wärtsilä, to discuss the changing role of flexible generation in modern electricity systems, the growing importance of grid stability, and why balancing technologies will be critical as renewables become an ever-larger share of the global energy mix. They explore how rapidly growing electricity demand, including from data centres, is reshaping investment decisions, why flexible gas generation may play an important transitional role, and how batteries, renewables and thermal assets can work together to build a more resilient power system. The conversation also examines the future of shipping decarbonisation following delays to the International Maritime Organisation's proposed global carbon-pricing mechanism, the importance of fuel flexibility for vessel owners, and how digital technologies and AI are improving efficiency across industry. Håkan and Michael cover a wide variety of topics, including: Why flexible generation remains essential in renewable-heavy grids How growing electricity demand is changing energy infrastructure planning The role of gas engines, batteries and storage in maintaining grid stability What data centres mean for future power systems Shipping decarbonisation and the IMO's delayed carbon-pricing vote Fuel flexibility and efficiency in maritime transport How industrial companies are using AI to improve performance and reliability Energy security, competitiveness and the changing geopolitical landscape Leadership Circle: Cleaning Up is proud to be supported by its Leadership Circle.

Alexi Lalas and David Mosse are back with a new episode of State of the Union! The injury bug for the USA continued this past weekend as both Chris Richards and Brenden Aaronson came down with knocks but thankfully neither look particularly serious. In better news for the Yanks, Christian Pulisic contributed an assist in Milan's win, Antonee "Jedi" Robinson scored his first ever Premier League goal from the spot for Fulham, and Ricardo Pepi kept his record season going with another goal for PSV. Around the world of soccer, Neymar made the Brazil World Cup squad, Arsenal are one step closer to the Premier League title, Pep Guardiola will officially leave Manchester City after the season, José Mourinho is returning to Real Madrid and Xabi Alonso is heading to Stamford Bridge with Chelsea. In #AskAlexi, after much fanfare and commentary from our followers, Alexi and Mosse take another look at Alexi's all-time USA World Cup starting XI and in One for the Road, there may be some trouble in paradise for Messi and Miami.Presented by Zillow #Zillow 0:00 - Intro2:33 - Is Richard the valuable player for the USA?7:33 - Brenden Aaronson goes down with injury8:50 - Arsenal vs Manchester City title race down to final week10:56 Pep Guardiola leaves City, Xabi to Chelsea, José Mourinho to Madrid16:40 - Christian Pulisic bags assist, Weston McKennie's UCL bid takes hit25:37 - Zavier Gozo stays hot29:29 - Neymar makes Brazil roster36:15 - USMNT All-Time Best XI: Which historical player are you adding '26?43:56 - Messi vs the Inter Miami Fans Learn more about your ad choices.

Today's word of the day is ‘flamethrower' as in Jacob Misiorowski as in Brewers as in torch as in speed as in velocity. He is doing things we've never seen in the game before. He holds the top 9 spots for fastest pitches by a starter since at least 2008. Just in awe of what he is doing. (9:00) Shohei Ohtani is just amazing. I just keep saying it. Another pitching outing where he goes seven innings and doesn't allow a run. (15:50) The Yankees have a pitching problem. Max Fried got pulled from his start with an elbow issue. Say it ain't so. He has been the most consistent pitcher for the Yankees over the last two seasons. This team cannot afford to lose someone like him. (22:30) The Marlins top prospect is hurt. Rob Snelling started just one game for the Marlins and now has a UCL problem. Uh oh. (27:31) The Cavaliers stole it from the Pistons. Just a meltdown by Detroit. Cleveland now leads the series 3-2 and gets Game 6 at home. (35:11) Review: The Drama. (37:22) NPPOD. (48:00) NFL schedule release. How fun! Learn more about your ad choices.
