Historia del trabajo doméstico en América Latina. Junto al Dr. Pedro Valenzuela Reyes, historiador, académico del Departamento de Historia y Geografía UCSC.

Broadcast from KSQD, Santa Cruz on 5-21-2026: This is the second show featuring Mira Achilles, a UCSC graduate working on her masters in epidemiology. Dr. Dawn and Mira open with a Harvard study showing OpenAI's o1 reasoning model reached correct diagnoses 67% of the time versus 50-55% for physicians, and scored 89% versus 34% on treatment plans. The AI advantage shrinks when doctors get more data and time, suggesting its greatest value is in fast-moving triage. Dr. Dawn cautions that over-reliance on AI during residency could undermine the clinical reasoning neurologic pathways doctors must develop, and emphasizes the "zebra paradox"— rare diseases remain rare even when symptoms match the textbook. Dr. Dawn shares a personal case of a patient with throat shingles, leading her to use a medical AI (OpenEvidence) to investigate Shingrix risks. An Australian study found an elevenfold increase in shingles within 21 days of the first Shingrix dose in adults over 65, though dose two reduced overall risk by 73%. She explains this could be one of several things such as immune reconstitution inflammatory syndrome (IRIS), or that the AS01B vaccine adjuvant's strong activation may transiently reactivate latent virus, and recommends valacyclovir prophylaxis for high-risk patients for their first Shringrex shot.. Mira discusses AI in education, noting the shift from professors threatening plagiarism charges to teaching students how to critique AI output, emphasizing taking summaries "with a grain of salt." Dr. Dawn describes Chinese research scanning 1,154 children that identified a third ADHD subtype—severe emotional dysregulation—showing 45 abnormal brain regions versus 26 in the inattentive and hyperactive-impulsive types, with standard stimulants working poorly for this group. She connects this to traditional psychiatric personality disorder classifications and A discussion of vagus nerve stimulation's emerging applications for autoimmune conditions. Dr. Dawn and Mira discuss menstruation and bodily autonomy, then describe the Somedays period pain simulator that uses electrical impulses to let men experience menstrual cramps, highlighting differing pain thresholds. An emailer references a Radiolab episode about deliberate hookworm infection to treat asthma and allergies. Dr. Dawn explains parasites release immunosuppressants to survive, including anti-inflammatory protein-2 (AIP) now in drug development, which stimulates T-regulatory cells and IL-10 while "alarmins" inhibit lung inflammation—though this increases vulnerability to new infections. A caller with H. pylori and frequent viral infections asks whether S. boulardii and reuteri probiotics are safe given her low immunity. Dr. Dawn explains immunosuppression warnings target transplant-level drug suppression, not a tendency toward viruses like hers. Dr. Dawn thinks that her near-zero natural killer cells explain frequent infections, and suggests that the H. pylori test given her absence of symptoms, may be an incidental bystander rather than the cause of her low ferritin, which suggests bleeding. In medical news of the weird, Dr. Dawn describes Baby Cassian, diagnosed in utero with congenital high airway obstruction syndrome (CHAOS), who was partially removed from the womb at 25 weeks for airway surgery, returned, and born again at 31 weeks—leading to a discussion of microsurgery and how specialties partition by the physical scale of the surgery rather the location or type of structure.

Monterey County supervisors move forward with an oversized vehicle ban along two streets in Pájaro—kind of. And, a plant sale at UC Santa Cruz this weekend.

Cassandra Bautista, Rachel Huerta, Zoe Ly Sen & Andrea Wilson visit the KSQD studio with host Farnaz Fatemi to talk about the 44th annual In Celebration of the MUSE in Santa Cruz County. Hear some heart-stopping poems this hour! .....And, in addition to talking about this special event, each of the four commanding voices share their experiences with poetry and writing poems. Join us for an episode with these upcoming poets!Cassandra Bautista: Mexican-American poet from Los Angeles who recently moved to Santa Cruz to pursue Literature at UCSC. They are enamored by the way poetry weaves soul into its verse, capable of holding the essence of existence. Cassandra works in co-creation with life to reveal personal truths through writing, sharing experiences of migration, womanhood, magic, queerness, or just straight up living. They write for liberation and for any heart who may resonate with their poems.Rachel Huerta is an English major at Cabrillo College (transferring to Westmont College); she currently works as an English/Spanish tutor. Rachel served as an inaugural Youth Poet Laureate for the City of Watsonville (2023-2025), and her portfolio consists mostly of poetry and half-finished novels. She was once a featured speaker alongside Dolores Huerta – no relation, only wishful thinking. You can find her work in the Porter Gulch Review and Journal X.Zoe Ly Sen is a queer Vietnamese-American writer and painter. Their favorite color is forest green and their favorite painter is Francis Bacon. If they were a Pokémon they would be dragon-fairy type because they are their own greatest strength and weakness. Their life aspirations are going back to Vietnam as a teacher, also finding a warm place to rest their head. They believe in empowering indigenous youth to heal mother earth from settler-colonial violence. They want to live to see Palestine, Sudan, and Hawai'i be free.Andrea Wilson has lived and worked in Santa Cruz County for over 20 years but is originally from Massachusetts. They joined the Fungus Federation of Santa Cruz about 15 years ago and volunteers at forays and events, including the Fungus Fair every January. Andrea graduated from Cabrillo, June 2025, with a degree in English. Their pieces can be found published in Cabrillo Watsonville's Journal X.

Hi, friends, and welcome back to our series, "On Becoming: The Art and Craft of Personal Storytelling" where we take a close look at personal essays written by real students, talking about why we love them, what makes them work, and how they came to be.  In this episode, I had the honor of sitting down with Wendy Zheutlin, who is not only one of my essay coaches but has been a volunteer for the past four years with our Matchlighters Scholars Program. This is the program where we pair high-achieving, low-income students with amazing counselors for 10 hours of free one-on-one support. And if that sounds interesting to you, whether you are a student or a counselor, we'll link in the show notes where you can find out more. This episode is a rare opportunity. Whereas normally we break down essays written by students, this was actually a personal statement written by Wendy herself as part of a course that I led for counselors. So this is her own personal statement, not written for applying to college, and it's one of my favorite essays. We talk about what it was like for Wendy, who doesn't identify as a writer, to write this story, a few techniques she uses to communicate a lot in just a few words, and that ineffable moment when you figure out what a story is about.  If you're the kind of person who enjoys seeing how things get made, whether it's a great meal, a film scene, or a piece of writing, I have a feeling you might enjoy this one. Wendy Zheutlin works independently and with CEG as a college essay coach.  After earning her BA in psychology from UCSC and her MA in film from Stanford, Wendy went on to work on social issue documentaries in film and TV. While raising her family, Wendy worked in both an elementary school and public library.  Open and honest, Wendy builds trust and provides a safe environment in which students can begin a joyful journey of self-reflection and discovery as they write college essays that capture their spirit, their values, their experiences that engage readers.   Enjoy.     Play-by-Play: 2:04 – What is Wendy's background, and what motivated her to experience the essay process from the "inside out"?  4:27 – Wendy reads her personal statement, "Raspberry Sky."   11:45 – What was the writing process like for Wendy?   15:14 – How can short, factual sentences create a more impactful story?  18:11 – How did reading children's picture books influence Wendy's approach?   19:17 – How does the plum blossom motif serve as a metaphor for new beginnings? 21:58 – How can contrast show the different sides of a hard experience? 26:13 – What did Wendy discover about her story through multiple revisions? 28:31 – Why is subtle humor a useful tool when sharing a difficult experience? 30:21 – How can a writer identify the "orienting moment" or core message of a story? 36:18 – How can parentheticals be used to pack a lot of detail into a short section? 39:48 – What advice does Wendy offer for writing about difficult experiences? 43:27 – How can the process of "meaning making" help both the author and reader discover something new? 44:54 – What does the essay's conclusion reveal about growth? 48:48 – Closing thoughts    Resources: "Raspberry Sky" Essay Matchlighters Scholars Program College Essay Guy's Personal Statement Resources College Essay Guy's College Application Hub

In this episode of High Theory, Zac Zimmer talks to Kim about Decolonizing the Novum. The novum is a concept developed by Darko Suvin that names the new element of a science fiction or speculative fiction narrative. SF narratives from the Americas that rewrite archival material about colonization and first contact have begun an imaginative project of decolonizing that novum. In Zac's words, the "novum" has been part of our definition of science fiction since Darko Suvin first offered up the concept of part of his critical assessment of SF. This idea of "novelty" is linked to conquest and colonialism through the figure of the New World, i.e. the post-1492 Americas. Thus untangling the relationship between colonialism, novelty, and science fiction must pass through the historical record of the conquest. One way to do this is to focus on SF that deeply engages the archival record of the XVIth century in the Americas: texts and artworks that use speculation to depart from the knowledge that things didn't quite occur the way the dominant paradigms would lead us to believe, and to imagine other futures linked to past moments of historical contingency. In the episode, Zac references an incredible list of writers and theorists, including Edmundo O'Gorman and Walter Benjamin, Saidiya Hartman's “Venus in Two Acts,” You Dreamed of Empires by Álvaro Enrigue, Destrucción de todas las cosas by Hugo Hiriart, and “Decolonization is not a metaphor” by Eve Tuck and K. Wayne Yang. The transcript lives here as a WordDoc and here as a PDF. Zac's book, First Contact: Speculative Visions of the Conquest of the Americas (Northwestern University Press 2025), is a comparative study of Latin American science fiction and narratives of the sixteenth century conquest of the Americas. It moves through a corpus of Mexican novels, Andean visual arts practices, and other cultural artifacts that have dramatized counterfactual narratives. Reimagining the early colonial period's historiography from a south-to-north directionality while inventing parallel realities, these texts, which are concerned with limit cases, alterities, and alternative temporalities, refuse any reliance on the imperial ontologies of European expansion. Zac examines these works to explore the slippage that exists between science fiction as the exemplary genre of the modern, colonial reality and literary speculation as an aesthetic tool that can be used to imagine other possible worlds. You can read a review in the Los Angeles Review of Books. Zac Zimmer works as an Associate Professor of Literature at UC Santa Cruz. His research explores questions of literature, aesthetics, politics, and technology in the Americas.In addition to his current research on the cultural infrastructure of technosystems, he co-facilitates the Ethics & Astrobiology reading group, part of UCSC's Astrobiology Initiative. In the Literature department, he teaches classes on Latin American literature, science fiction, ethics & technology, and the poetics of California infrastructure.

Agradece a este podcast tantas horas de entretenimiento y disfruta de episodios exclusivos como éste. ¡Apóyale en iVoox! Edmund Emil Kemper III, conocido como Ed Kemper o el “Co-Ed Killer”, es uno de los casos más perturbadores de la crónica criminal de Estados Unidos. No solo por la brutalidad, sino por la mezcla imposible: un hombre gigantesco, culto, con facilidad para hablar… y un historial que empezó demasiado pronto. La historia arranca el 27 de agosto de 1964, cuando Kemper tiene 15 años y mata a sus abuelos paternos en California. Es enviado a un hospital estatal para internos con trastornos mentales y antecedentes penales. Años después, pese a recomendaciones médicas, sale en libertad y vuelve a convivir con su madre, Clarnell Strandberg, en el área de Santa Cruz / Aptos. Wikipedia Entre mayo de 1972 y febrero de 1973, el caso se acelera: jóvenes (principalmente estudiantes) desaparecen cerca de Santa Cruz. Se repite un patrón inquietante: carretera, autostop, un trayecto que parecía seguro… y un final que nadie ve venir.

In a relatively short period of time, exoplanets (planets around stars other than our Sun) have gone from an intriguing conjecture to an active field of scientific study, with over 5,000 confirmed discoveries. The task now is to move beyond merely accumulating new examples, and embarking on systematic studies of their properties. What fraction of stars have planets, how are they distributed in size and distance, what kinds of atmospheres do they have, are any promising homes for life? I talk with Natalie Batalha about what we've learned so far, and prospects for future discoveries.Blog post with transcript: https://www.preposterousuniverse.com/podcast/2025/08/25/326-natalie-batalha-on-what-we-know-and-will-learn-about-exoplanets/Support Mindscape on Patreon.Natalie Batalha received a Ph.D. in astrophysics from the University of California, Santa Cruz.

Professor Alice Yang helps us put the systematic othering we are seeing in the U.S. today into historical context. She discusses the oppression and disappearance of people, and points out how protest movements are often erased from the history Asian American and other immigrant groups in the United States, when the truth is that we can embrace and continue a deep heritage of resistance.

Subscribe, Rate, & Review Future Fossils on YouTube • Spotify • Apple PodcastsThis week on Future Fossils I welcome back Sara Phinn Huntley (help her fight cancer!), a multimedia artist, writer, and researcher who has spent the last two decades exploring the intersection of psychedelics, technology, and philosophy.An intrepid psychonaut and cartographer of hyperspace, her current focus involves using VR to represent visual/spatial imagination in real-time. Using a multidisciplinary approach, she documents and maps the states revealed by dimethyltriptamime and other psychedelics, cargo culting higher dimensional artifacts through the intersection of chaos mathematics, Islamic geometry, and 3D diagrammatic performance capture.  Her work has been published by the Multidisciplinary Association of Psychedelic Studies and featured in Diana Reed Slattery's Xenolinguistics. She is the art director for The Illustrated Field to the DMT Entities with David Jay Brown (forthcoming at Inner Traditions, 2025).✨ Offer Support + Join The Scene• Become a patron on Substack or Patreon• Make a tax-deductible donation to Humans On The Loop• Invite me to work with you as an hourly consultant or advisor on retainer• Join the Holistic Technology & Wise Innovation and Future Fossils Discord servers• Join the Future Fossils Facebook group• Buy the books we discuss from my Bookshop.org reading list• Buy original paintings and prints or commission new work• Tip me with @futurefossils on Venmo, $manfredmacx on CashApp, or @michaelgarfield on PayPal• Buy the show's music on Bandcamp — intro “Olympus Mons” from the Martian Arts EP & outro “Sonnet A” from the Double-Edged Sword EP✨ Main Points + Big Ideas* The Entanglement of Language and Being: DMT entities reveal a profound connection between language and the construction of reality, echoing themes found in esoteric traditions and the emergence of AI.* The Cartography of Hyperspace: The book serves as a guide to the vast and uncharted territory of DMT experiences, highlighting the challenge of classifying subjective encounters and the potential for mapping a multidimensional reality.* The Reproducibility Problem and the Power of Big Data: While acknowledging the inherent challenges of studying subjective experiences, we point to the potential of emerging technologies like AI, blockchain, and large-scale data analysis to offer new insights.* Embodied Bias and the Nature of Evolution: The nonlinear and multidimensional nature of DMT experiences challenges our understanding of time, evolution, and even anatomy, prompting a re-evaluation of our assumptions about reality.* Attention as a Currency: We emphasize the importance of attention in navigating both the DMT space and the rapidly evolving technological landscape, posing critical questions about who or what deserves our focus.* The Question of Human Survival: The episode ends by urging humanity to confront its self-destructive tendencies and leverage its collective wisdom to navigate the challenges and opportunities of the future.✨ ChaptersChapter 1: Sara's Psychedelic Journey and the Genesis of the DMT Entities Field Guide (00:00:00 - 00:10:00)* Sara's fascination with DMT from a young age.* Her exploration of DMT through various artistic media, including performance art and xenolinguistics.* The inception of The Illustrated Field Guide to DMT Entities book, inspired by classic field guides to nature.* The decision to leverage AI in the book's creation due to the vastness of the subject matter.Chapter 2: Language, Being, and the AI Oracle (00:10:00 - 00:20:00)* The role of language in shaping and interpreting DMT entities, drawing parallels to esoteric traditions like the concept of the Logos.* Sara's process of interacting with AI, describing it as "talking to it" to curate the visual representations of DMT entities.* The blurring of categories and the subjective nature of interpreting the raw data of DMT experiences.* The challenge of reconciling diverse and often conflicting perceptions of the same entities.* Language as a compression tool for expressing ineffable experiences.* The increasing relevance of AI in understanding consciousness, particularly with future advancements in brain modeling.Chapter 3: Navigating Ontological Shock and the Nature of DMT Entities (00:20:00 - 00:30:00)* The challenge of reconciling DMT experiences with our "meat space" understanding of reality.* Sara's personal experience of gaining knowledge through DMT, challenging James Kent's view on the limitations of such knowledge.* The neurological basis for some common DMT hallucinations and its implications for understanding the experience.* The interplay of cultural and personal projections in shaping DMT entity encounters.* Exploring the possibility of psychedelics as a way to interact with a simulated reality.* The existence of phenomena that defy current scientific understanding, pointing to the need for open-mindedness.Chapter 4: The Cartography of Hyperspace and the Specter of Evolution (00:30:00 - 00:40:00)* The possibility of DMT entity encounters revealing more about the observer than about independent beings.* The existence of consistent archetypes across different DMT experiences and their overlap with other paranormal phenomena.* The intriguing connection between DMT entities and cross-cultural mythological figures.* Examining the role of genetic lineage and the intergenerational transmission of unusual experiences.* The book as a tool for intellectual curiosity, humility, and exploring the vastness of hyperspace.* The influence of culture in shaping our perceptions of both traditional and modern entities.* Sara's personal stance on the reality of DMT entities - acknowledging their potential existence while remaining open to other interpretations.Chapter 5: The Machine in the Ghost: Folklore, AI, and the Urge to Classify (00:40:00 - 00:50:00)* The blurring lines between insectoid and mechanical entities in both folklore and modern UAP narratives.* The impact of technology and the idea of a simulated reality on our perception of entities.* Sara's view on the potential taxonomic shift in our understanding of entities due to technological advancements.* Exploring the limits of AI in understanding consciousness and the potential for using it as a tool for self-reflection.* The challenge and importance of maintaining a sense of awe and wonder amidst scientific inquiry.Chapter 6: The Problem of Reproducibility and the Potential of Big Data (00:50:00 - 01:00:00)* Acknowledging the inherent limitations of scientific inquiry into subjective experiences.* The promise of machine learning and big data in identifying patterns and correlations across diverse DMT experiences.* The potential for reconstructing visual fields from brain data to gain further insights into the DMT experience.* The potential for utilizing blockchain technology, quadratic voting, and other advanced tools to address researcher bias and context in large-scale data collection.Chapter 7: Embodied Bias and the Non-Linearity of Time (01:00:00 - 01:10:00)* The idea of anatomy as an encoded representation of environmental features and its implications for understanding non-human entities.* Challenging the linear concept of time and evolution in light of the multidimensional experiences offered by DMT.* The vastness and complexity of "meat space" reality and its potential to hold hidden dimensions and Easter eggs.* The potential for AI and advanced computation to unlock deeper understanding of reality in conjunction with psychedelic exploration.Chapter 8: Sara's Breakthrough Experience and the Reverence for Mystery (01:10:00 -

For most of recorded history, neighboring countries, tribes, and peoples everywhere in the world regarded each other with apprehension—when not outright fear and loathing. Tribal or racial attitudes were virtually universal, no one group being much better or worse in this respect than any other—and for good reason given the conditions of life before the modern era. But in the last 500 years, relations between different peoples have undergone a slow but profound change. In our episode, explore Dr. Ellis' upcoming publication, A Short History of Relations Between People: How the World Began to Move Beyond Tribalism. Join us as we explore how a confluence of discoveries, inventions, explorations, as well as social and political changes gave birth to a new attitude, one expressed succinctly in the Latin phrase: gens una sumus—we are all one people. This sentiment has by now become a modern orthodoxy. Ellis tells the story of how the transition happened, setting out the crucial stages in its progress as well as the key events that moved it forward, and identifying the individuals and groups that brought about the eventual dominance of this new outlook. John M. Ellis is Distinguished Professor Emeritus of German Literature at the University of California, Santa Cruz. He taught at universities in England, Wales, and Canada before joining UCSC in 1966, serving as dean of the Graduate Division in 1977–86. A Short History of Relations Between People: How the World Began to Move Beyond Tribalism  is available on October 15th, 2024 and available wherever books are sold.

Suzi talks to Isabel Kain at UC Santa Cruz, Marie Salem at UCLA, and Anna Weiss at USC — all UAW academic workers — about the unprecedented labor action on their campuses and the violent response from police called in by their administrations.We recorded the interview with Isabel at UCSC as the police in riot gear moved into the campus. Santa Cruz was the first to go on strike and unlike the other UC campuses, the administration was passive and did not call in the police. Until 1am on May 31. At the heart of the action is the war in Gaza, which has inflicted unspeakable suffering and carnage, provoking widespread actions in solidarity with Palestine on campuses. New movements organized in encampments have demanded an immediate ceasefire and university divestment from companies tied to Israel's war and occupation. The response from the administration at UCLA in particular was brutal. They called in police who assaulted the encampment and stood back when a mob of white nationalists and neo-Nazis joined forces with Zionists to attack the camp, whose residents included a large number of Jewish students.Outraged grad students at UC, organized in UAW Local 4811, have launched a strike, turning the right to protest and freedom of speech into a labor issue. The local represents some 48,000 postdocs, teaching assistants, academic and student researchers across the UC system. At USC, academic workers filed an Unfair Labor Practices (ULP) after five grad student members were arrested on campus during the crackdown on the protests.

Bret Weinstein, host of DarkHorse Podcast, recently visited the US border and was horrified by the conditions – and how easily “male, military age” Middle Eastern and Chinese migrants are entering the USA disguised as refugees. Weinstein says the crisis is only made worse by NGOs that spread false information to desperate refugees who fall prey to exploitative guides that fail to prepare them for the dangerous trek through places like Dorian Gap. “…their desire to induce people to migrate is causing people who are woefully unprepared for the Darien Gap to try to make that journey,” says Bret in a recent interview with Tucker Carlson. “The humanitarian tragedy is immense.” Bret Weinstein is Host of the DarkHorse Podcast, the co-author of ‘The Hunter-Gatherer's Guide to the 21st Century', and a former professor at The Evergreen State College. Dr. Weinstein earned a PhD in Biology from the University of Michigan, where he was given the Don Tinkle Award for distinguished work in Evolutionary Ecology, and he earned a BA in Biology from UCSC.
