Vidcast: https://www.instagram.com/p/DQdnYr9jZwV/An exciting, ground-breaking clinical study now shows that children born with a defective gene coding for a vital inner ear protein can have that gene repaired and hearing restored. This phenomenally successful preliminary clinical trial was recently published in the New England Journal of Medicine.Genetic bioengineers at New York's Regeneron Pharmaceuticals loaded a normal copy of the otoferlin gene into a dual adeno-associated virus acting as a Trojan horse. Twelve children, born without the ability to synthesize otoferlin protein, received the gene injection, dubbed DB-OTO therapy, into their inner ears at 3 clinical centers: Harvard's Mass. Eye and Ear Infirmary, UC San Diego's Children's Hospital, and University College London. Otoferlin is necessary for the inner ear's ability to convert sound vibrations into electrical impulses. At 24 weeks post-injection, 9 of the 12 children, 75%, regained measurable hearing. Three, 25%, developed near normal hearing. The gene therapy was well-tolerated without any significant side effects.This gene therapy, with further refinement and after larger clinical trials, may be a one-and-done treatment for one common form of congenital deafness. Cochlear implants will continue to be essential therapy for other types of genetic and acquired severe hearing losses pending development of other genetic and/or chemical cochlear modifications.https://www.nejm.org/doi/full/10.1056/NEJMoa2400521#deafness #children #congenital #otoferlin #dboto

Brigitte Macron, wife of French President Emmanuel Macron, has accused ten people of posting malicious comments about her, claiming she was a born a man, something Macron says is completely untrue. Her case is in court in France today and, if found guilty, the eight men and two women standing trial could face up to two years in prison. Sophie Pedder, Paris Bureau Chief at The Economist and Sarah Ditum, columnist at The Times, explain the significance of the trial.A study in Sweden has found that some adults who have had a diagnosis of autism or ADHD as children would like to be considered for a de-diagnosis due to stigma and sometimes restrictions associated with the condition. Nuala McGovern talks to Dame Uta Frith, Emeritus Professor of Cognitive Development at University College London, and psychologist Sebastian Lundström, from the University of Gothenberg, who is one of the study's researchers.What if all your dreams come true and you still find yourself a bit grumpy? That's the brilliantly blunt question at the heart of Laura Smyth's stand-up tour, Born Aggy. Laura's journey into comedy wasn't exactly textbook. She left behind a career in teaching, was diagnosed with Stage 3 breast cancer that same year and - just two weeks after finishing treatment - was on stage in Live at the Apollo. She joins Nuala in the studio. The safety of some manicures has been called into question after the EU banned the use of TPO, a key ingredient in many gel polishes, due to fertility risks in animal trials. Melissa Wright tells us about producing her own line of gel nail products that don't contain TPOs and Dr Naila Dinani, Consultant Dermatologist at the Royal United Hospital in Bath, explains the risks.Presenter: Nuala McGovern Producer: Simon Richardson
SHOW NOTES: https://eggshelltherapy.com/podcast-blog/2025/10/27/deathanxiety/I sat down with philosopher Tom Cochrane to explore death anxiety, happiness, and how we cope when existential dread surfaces. We began with the classic philosophical arguments against fearing death. For Tom, ultimate comfort does not require a cosmic designer. It comes from recognizing the world's intrinsic value. He advocates for what he calls "aestheticism," seeing the universe as beautiful, sublime, dramatic, and worthwhile on its own terms. This perspective is available to both atheists and theists. On self-sufficiency, Tom's critique is pointed and unique. A fully self-contained life becomes emotionally flat, he likened it to being like a ‘stale lemonade'. Humans are "contingent to the bone" and flourish through embraced interdependence and risk, not through isolation.The key insight: we have control over our imagination. Even when it runs away from us, we can redirect it and build better habits of attention. About Tom Cochrane: Born in the UK, Tom completed his BA (hons) in philosophy at University College London, followed by a MA in music composition at Birmingham Conservatoire, and then a PhD in philosophy at the University of Nottingham. His PhD supervisor was Gregory Currie. Following his PhD, Tom was a postdoctoral fellow at the Swiss Center for Affective Sciences, University of Geneva (2007-2010). He was then an international visiting fellow at the Sonic Arts Research Center, Queen's University Belfast (2010-2012), before moving to the University of Sheffield as a lecturer (2012-2017). After a brief stint at the University of York in 2017, he joined Flinders in February 2018. Tom's main areas of expertise are the philosophy of mind (particularly emotions) and philosophy of art/aesthetics (particularly music). He also has interests in metaphysics and ethics. He is the editor of The Emotional Power of Music (Oxford University Press, 2013) He is also the author of The Emotional Mind: A control theory of affective states (Cambridge University Press, 2018) and The Aesthetic Value of the World (Oxford University Press, 2021).Tom's latest book, The Aesthetic Value of the World: https://academic.oup.com/book/39016Eggshell Therapy and Coaching: eggshelltherapy.com About Imi Lo: www.imiloimilo.comInstagram:https://www.instagram.com/eggshelltherapy_imilo/ Newsletters: https://eepurl.com/bykHRzDisclaimers: https://www.eggshelltherapy.com/disclaimers Trigger Warning: This episode may cover sensitive topics including but not limited to suicide, abuse, violence, severe mental illnesses, relationship challenges, sex, drugs, alcohol addiction, psychedelics, and the use of plant medicines.

Welcome to Ozempic Weightloss Unlocked, the podcast dedicated to exploring every facet of Ozempic—from its medical roots to its reputation as a game-changing weight loss trend.Ozempic was originally developed for those managing type 2 diabetes. Its active ingredient is called semaglutide, which mimics a natural hormone in the body known as glucagon-like peptide one. This hormone helps regulate blood sugar and reduces appetite, making you feel fuller for longer. According to Noom, this mechanism led many people to lose weight while taking Ozempic, turning it into a household name far beyond the diabetes community.The medication is injected once weekly. In clinical studies, people taking Ozempic at the highest dose often lost an average of about 15 pounds, which was roughly seven percent of their body weight over forty weeks. Wegovy, a similar medication containing the same active ingredient, is FDA-approved specifically for weight loss and is generally prescribed at a higher dose than Ozempic, leading to even greater results with weight loss reductions closer to fifteen percent of starting body weight.As for how quickly you might lose weight, listeners can expect to see small changes in the first month, with greater progress over several months as the dosage increases. Weight loss is highly dependent on personal factors like diet, exercise, hormones, and health history. GoodRx notes that women may actually be “hyper-responders” to semaglutide, but those with lower estrogen levels, such as postmenopausal women not undergoing hormone therapy, may lose less weight. The key point is that no medication works the same for everyone.Equally important is that Ozempic is not FDA-approved specifically for weight loss—Wegovy and Zepbound are the medications formally approved for this use. People who do not see weight loss benefits on Ozempic may benefit from switching to these alternatives. Ozempic does, however, offer additional health benefits, including improved blood sugar control and reduced risk for heart and kidney disease.Recent news from University College London and the Pharmaceutical Journal has brought new attention to semaglutide's heart health effects. In a large international trial, semaglutide was shown to cut the risk of heart attacks and other cardiac events by about twenty percent, regardless of how much weight was lost. Researchers found that shrinking waistlines accounted for only about a third of the heart benefit, suggesting the drug protects heart health in other ways, including supporting blood vessel health and lowering inflammation. This discovery could profoundly change how Ozempic and similar medications are prescribed—not just for obesity, but possibly for cardiovascular protection even among those with smaller body mass indexes.Another headline update: Ozempic may soon be available as a pill. Rutgers reports that a tablet form of GLP-1 therapy is closer than most people realize, though the current pills don't match the weight loss impact of injectable semaglutide just yet.Ozempic comes with possible side effects, ranging from gastrointestinal issues like nausea to risk of more serious complications, especially at higher doses. Pricing remains high, often around one thousand dollars per month, with insurance rarely covering it for off-label weight loss.So, what can listeners do to boost their chances of success on Ozempic? Noom and GoodRx recommend focusing on balanced meals high in lean proteins, fiber, healthy fats, and hydration. Minimally processed foods and regular exercise can help maximize results and minimize side effects. Collaborate closely with your healthcare professional to tailor your approach based on your unique health profile and goals. If you experience limited benefit, do not hesitate to ask your provider about alternate GLP-1 therapies or other options.Before wrapping up, let's review today's key updates. Ozempic is becoming both more accessible and controversial as demand grows for weight loss, age reversal, and heart health. Major clinical studies are changing the conversation around who benefits most from these medications and how they might be used in the future. The science is evolving fast—today, Ozempic is known for weight loss, but tomorrow it may be just as well-known for protecting hearts and possibly even slowing ageing.Thank you for tuning in to Ozempic Weightloss Unlocked.

So much of the conversation about the climate crisis focuses on prevention. But no matter how well we succeed on that front, climate-induced disasters are already causing hundreds of billions of dollars of damage worldwide every year — not to mention destroying livelihoods and causing deaths. We're seeing those impacts today, and we need to be ready. Adaptation does not mean giving up on trying to rein in heat-trapping pollution; it's facing reality. The way we adapt can be creative and empowering. But what does that kind of adaptation look like? Episode Guests: Susannah Fisher, Principal Research Fellow, University College London; Author of "Sink or Swim" Nick Mott, Multimedia Journalist; Author of “This Is Wildfire” Tanya Gulliver-Garcia, Director of Educational Impact, Center for Disaster Philanthropy This episode features a field piece by David Condos, who originally reported the story for KUER in Salt Lake City, Utah.

October 24th marks United Nations Day; a celebration of global cooperation, peace, and human rights. But beyond politics and policy, what can an international organization built to unite nations teach us about creating peace within ourselves? In this special bonus episode of The Happier Life Project, host Gabby Sanderson welcomes Aliza Ayaz an international climate activist, business and sustainability consultant, and the world's youngest United Nations Goodwill Ambassador. Together, they explore how global values like empathy, cooperation, and resilience can help us live happier, calmer, and more connected lives. From growing up across London, Pakistan, and Dubai to addressing world leaders at the UN, Aliza shares how her diverse cultural experiences shaped her worldview, and how activism, while powerful, can test one's mental health and resilience. She opens up about burnout, faith, gender equality, and what it truly means to pursue peace; both globally and personally. As the founder of the Climate Action Society (CAS) at University College London, Aliza pioneered a youth-led initiative that successfully mobilized students in environmental and policy-driven solutions which helped inspire the UK Parliament's climate emergency declaration. Gabby asks Aliza what sparked her decision to create the Climate Action Society, what drives and motivates her to keep going in the face of global challenges, and what the role of a UN Goodwill Ambassador truly entails. They discuss why youth empowerment, mental health awareness, and radical cooperation are key to meaningful change, and how shifting our values from competition to compassion might just be the secret to a happier world. Tune in to discover how compassion, cooperation, determination and youth-led action can shape not just our world, but our inner lives.

Aygun Badalova narrates her blog written for Dementia Researcher. In this moving reflection, Aygun Badalova shares her experience working inside a dementia clinical trial at UCL. She explores the human side of research, where every test and data point represents real people, families, and moments of connection. From the challenges of recruitment and paperwork to the deeply emotional encounters with participants and their loved ones, Aygun shows that dementia research is about dignity, relationships, and hope as much as science. Find the original text, and narration here on our website. https://communities.dementiaresearcher.nihr.ac.uk/c/research-chat/life-inside-a-dementia-clinical-trial-b45aab0f-0377-4963-aaaa-32fd05ed0579 -- Aygun Badalova is a PhD student at the Institute of Neurology, University College London, funded by NIHR. Her research focuses on developing Digital Interventions in Neuro-Rehabilitation (DINR) for Alzheimer's disease and dementia, including work on the Gotcha! name retrieval therapy app to help people with dementia remember familiar names. Alongside her research, Aygun is involved in clinical work at the National Hospital for Neurology and Neurosurgery.

New research has confirmed Ozempic reduces the risk of strokes and heart attacks by 20 percent - even in patients who weren't severely overweight to start with. The study, which was led by University College London and published in The Lancet, found that weight loss accounted for only one third of this reduction. Auckland University molecular medicine professor Peter Shepherd says this is proof other factors are behind the slowdown of heart disease. "We know a few of them, we know a bit about how it effects heart tissue growth, we know a bit about the positive effects it has on the deposition of the lipids, but there's still a long way to go to fully understand its effects."

Researchers from University College London and Moorfields Eye Hospital recently announced the results of a trial for a new device that helps the blind not just see again, but read again.The Prima device is a novel wireless subretinal photovoltaic implant paired with specialized glasses that project near-infrared light to the implant, which acts like a miniature solar panel. The device is being developed by Science Corporation, which specializes in brain-computer interfaces and neural engineering. So, how does it work?
A pivotal European clinical trial of a new electronic eye implant has seen remarkable results. The study, published in the New England Journal of Medicine, showed 84% of participants were able to read letters, numbers and words using prosthetic vision through an eye that had previously lost its sight due to the untreatable progressive eye condition, geographic atrophy with dry age-related macular degeneration (AMD). RNIB Connect Radio's Toby Davey was joined by Mahi Muqit, senior vitreoretinal consultant at Moorfields Eye Hospital and the Institute of Ophthalmology at University College London who lead the UK arm of the trial to explain more about the results of the study and the technology used too. There is more information about this new pioneering eye device on the following pages of the Moorfields Eye Hospital website which also includes a link to register on the Moorfields research portal, ROAM which will give you access to current and future research - https://www.moorfields.nhs.uk/about-us/news-and-blogs/news/pioneering-eye-device-restores-reading-vision-to-blind-eyes (Image shows the RNIB Connect Radio logo.

The Library of Lost Maps by James Cheshire, Professor of Geographic Information and Cartography, tells the story of the discovery of a treasure-trove at the heart of University College London. In a long-forgotten room James found thousands of maps and atlases. This abandoned archive reveals how maps have traced the contours of the world, inspiring some of the greatest scientific discoveries, as well as leading to terrible atrocities and power grabs. But maps have not always been used to navigate or reveal the world, according to a new exhibition at the British Library on Secret Maps (from 24 October 2025 to 18 January 2026). Jerry Brotton, Professor of Renaissance Studies at Queen Mary University of London, and author of Four Points of the Compass, explains how mysterious maps throughout history have been used to hide, shape and control knowledge. The biographer Jenny Uglow celebrates a different kind of mapping in her new book, A Year with Gilbert White: The First Great Nature Writer. In 1781 the country curate Gilbert White charted the world around him – from close observation of the weather, to the migration of birds to the sex lives of snails and the coming harvest – revealing a natural map of his Hampshire village.Producer: Katy Hickman Assistant Producer: Natalia Fernandez

AI is everywhere these days, and though there's debate about how useful it is, one area where experts think it could be game-changing is scientific research. It promised to be particularly useful for speeding up drug discovery, an expensive and time-consuming process that can take decades. But so far, it hasn't panned out.The few AI-designed drugs that have made it to clinical trials haven't been approved, venture capital investment in these efforts has cratered in the last few years, and many startups have shut their doors. So why has it been so hard to make AI-designed drugs? What are the fundamental issues, and what does the future of this research look like?Joining Host Ira Flatow with some answers is Peter Coveney, who studies how chemistry discoveries can be sped up with algorithms and computers.Guest: Dr. Peter Coveney is a professor and director of the Centre for Computational Science at University College London.Transcripts for each episode are available within 1-3 days at sciencefriday.com.

From Art in Hotel Rooms to Global Galleries: How Minor Attractions Is Changing the London Scene + exclusive interviewsOn this week's episode of All About Art, I take you behind the scenes of London's vibrant art scene during Frieze Week to one of the most popular alternative art fairs in town: I visit Minor Attractions art fair, launched three years ago with a mission to make contemporary art more accessible and community-focused. In the episode, I chat with a gallerist, an artist, and one of the fair's co-founders about how the fair creates a dynamic space for art, performance, and nightlife - all housed within the unique setting of the Mandrake Hotel. I explore how Minor Attractions stands out from larger fairs with its affordable participation fees, free-form exhibitions, and lively, nightclub-like atmosphere. Plus, I share my thoughts on the fair's role in reimagining what an art fair can be and why it's capturing the attention of the London art scene.Check it out here: https://minorattractions.com/Featuring interviews with Jacob Barnes, co-founder of Minor Attractions, Yarran Gatsby, co-founder of LAILA Gallery, and artist Isabella Benshimol ToroYOU CAN SUPPORT ALL ABOUT ART ON PATREON HERE: https://www.patreon.com/allaboutartFOLLOW ALL ABOUT ART ON INSTAGRAM HERE: https://www.instagram.com/allaboutartpodcast/ ABOUT THE HOST:I am an Austrian-American art historian, curator, and writer.

Fear is one of the earliest emotions to have evolved. Most vertebrates – and possibly some invertebrates – show fear when they are threatened. At its most core, fear keeps us alive, helping us flee from predators or avoid dangerous environments. But why does this process sometimes backfire, leaving us paralysed by otherwise harmless phobias? And why do so many people deliberately seek out fearful situations, from horror movies to parachute jumps, when instinct tells us to do the opposite? Can understanding the biology of fear help us conquer it, or simply make us more vulnerable to its impact?This lecture was recorded by Robin May on the 1st of October 2025 at Bernards Inn Hall, LondonProfessor of Infectious Disease at the University of Birmingham, and (interim) Chief Scientist at the UK Health Security Agency, Robin May was appointed Gresham Professor of Physic in May 2022.

What really happens when two people kiss? Far more than you think. From the brain chemistry it triggers, to the subtle information you're exchanging, to the dozens of muscles involved — kissing is a complex act with fascinating effects on both body and mind. https://www.thehealthy.com/family/relationships/6-ways-kissing-makes-you-stronger/#ixzz3kK7pLATk “Be authentic.” You've heard that advice countless times — but what does it actually mean? Do you really have one “authentic self”? And if so, why are the less admirable parts of that self rarely included in the conversation? My guest Tomas Chamorro-Premuzic — Chief Innovation Officer at ManpowerGroup, professor of business psychology at University College London and Columbia University, and author of Don't Be Yourself: Why Authenticity Is Overrated (and What to Do Instead) (https://amzn.to/4mBCbM9) — argues that authenticity is often misunderstood and even harmful. He reveals a smarter way to think about who you are and how you present yourself. There has never been a moment in recorded history without war. Not one. So, is war inevitable — a hardwired part of human nature? Neuroscientist Nicholas Wright explores this question, drawing from his research on the brain, technology, and security at University College London, Georgetown University, and the Center for Strategic and International Studies, where he also advises the Pentagon Joint Staff. He's the author of Warhead: How the Brain Shapes War and War Shapes the Brain (https://amzn.to/42YWADU), and he offers a provocative look at whether humans are doomed to fight — or if peace is truly possible. Finally, what's in your purse or briefcase could be hurting you more than you realize. Carrying too much weight around day after day can wreak havoc on your body. In this closing segment, I'll explain the hidden dangers of an overloaded bag — and what you can do about it. https://www.lutherandowntownhospital.com/health-library/272 PLEASE SUPPORT OUR SPONSORS!!!

Around Ireland and in Europe, the gay rights movement has had extraordinary success. Many would argue that there is more work to be done.However, Ronan McCrea, Professor of Constitutional and European Law at University College London argues that it's time for the movement to possibly take a step back, or risk unravelling all that's been achieved…He is author of ‘The End of the Gay Rights Revolution: How Hubris and Overreach Threaten Gay Freedom', and joins Seán to discuss.
Many people will be familiar with Parkinson's disease: the progressive brain disorder that causes symptoms including tremors and slower movement, leading on to serious cognitive problems. You might not know that it's the fastest-growing neurological condition in the world. Today it affects around 11.8 million people and that's forecast to double by 2030. Dr Sonia Gandhi is one of the scientists working to change that trend. As Professor of Neurology at University College London and Assistant Research Director at the Francis Crick Institute, her work involves using stem cells to build models of the human brain, helping to drive the development of drugs and other therapies for Parkinson's patients.Talking to Professor Jim Al-Khalili, Sonia explains why this destructive condition is on the rise - and the promising routes they're studying to find new ways to tackle it.Presented by Jim Al-Khalili Produced by Lucy Taylor for BBC StudiosFor details of organisations that offer advice and support to anyone affected by Parkinson's Disease, please go online to bbc.co.uk/actionline.
In Warhead: How the Brain Shapes War and War Shapes the Brain, Nicholas Wright argues that war and competition are rooted in human biology—in our drives for survival, fairness, territory, and belonging.Wright is a neuroscientist who researches the brain, technology, and security at University College London; Georgetown University; and the Center for Strategic and International Studies in Washington, DC, where he also advises the Pentagon. In his new book, he explores how each region of the brain is linked to a certain dimension of conflict—explaining why war seems inevitable, yet also why peace is possible.In his conversation with Nikolaus Lang, global leader of the BCG Henderson Institute, he discusses why neuroscience is a powerful lens to understand conflict, how it helps military leaders make decisions, and why we need to give AI a prefrontal cortex to ensure it makes wise decisions in conflict situations.Key topics discussed: 01:27 | Neuroscience as a lens to understand conflict04:10 | The role of prediction error in the psychology of war07:29 | The clash between the amygdala and prefrontal cortex12:46 | How AI and its interaction with humans may influence the future of conflict18:55 | How neuroscience insights help military leaders make decisions22:13 | Training political and business leaders based on neuroscience insights
Americans are reading less for pleasure these days. That’s according to research from the University of Florida and University College London. And it’s not a little dip - we’re talking a 40% drop in daily leisure reading for people 15 and older over the past two decades. This shift is especially prevalent for specific groups, like Black Americans, people with lower incomes, and people in rural areas. We dug deeper into the findings from this study... and took a closer look at Seattle's reading habits. Guest: Jill Sonke, co-director of the EpiArts Lab at the University of Florida.

Hugh talks to Ronan McCrea, professor of constitutional and European law at University College London, about his new book, The End of the Gay Rights Revolution. McCrea believes that the achievements of the most successful civil rights movement of the last few decades may be more politically fragile than most people assume. He argues that these successes were largely an incidental dividend of the wider sexual revolution rather than a standalone victory. What law and culture give quickly, he says, they can also take away.The book traces the shift from decriminalisation to equality, the AIDS-era turn to pragmatism, and the post-marriage-equality problem of purpose. McCrea contends that movement overreach, mission creep to ever-broader agendas, and a reluctance to confront awkward truths leaves freedoms exposed to changing demographics, populism and a revived moral conservatism. The conversation asks what a strategy of consolidation rather than perpetual expansion would actually look like and whether it carries costs as well as benefits in a world where history rarely moves in straight lines.The End of The Gay Rights Revolution is published by Polity. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
When we talk about the climate crisis, we often tend to couch the conversation in terms of negligence or poor corporate governance, as if environmental crime is not really a crime in the way that theft or assault are.But, there are organised gangs and corporate entities out there committing crimes against all of us everyday, just as there are those trying to stop them. Julia Shaw is a Psychological Scientist at University College London and the author of multiple best-selling books including her latest: ‘Green Crime: Inside the Minds of the People Destroying the Planet, and How to Stop Them'. She joins Seán to discuss.
Bongani Bingwa speaks to Dr Luke Freeman, Madagascar expert at University College London, currently based in Antananarivo, as Madagascar faces a deepening political crisis. Elite Capsat soldiers — once loyal to President Andry Rajoelina and instrumental in his rise to power — have now turned against him, joining nationwide protests and refusing orders to fire on civilians. Armoured vehicles have rolled through the capital, and the president’s whereabouts remain unclear. Bongani explores what caused this rupture between the military and the regime, what it means for Madagascar’s future, and whether the country is headed for a full-blown coup. 702 Breakfast with Bongani Bingwa is broadcast on 702, a Johannesburg based talk radio station.

In our first episode of the XXplored Women's Brain Health podcast, our resident expert and host Dr Laura Stankeviciute from University of Gothenburg engages with leading neuroscientists Professor Liisa Galea from University of Toronto and Dr Maria Teresa Ferretti from Karolinska Institutet to explore the critical intersection of sex, gender, and brain health. Together our guests discuss their personal journeys into neuroscience, the biological differences in brain health, the impact of hormonal changes, and the vulnerability of women to Alzheimer's disease. The conversation also addresses the barriers to inclusion in clinical research, the implications of neurosexism, and the importance of precision medicine. The episode emphasises the need for early diagnosis and the societal stigma surrounding women's health issues, while advocating for a more inclusive and evidence-based approach to brain health research and treatment. This first show sets the scene for what will be an ongoing series of shows, delivered within the Dementia Researcher podcast. Takeaways ● Sex differences shape the brain at every level – structure, hormones, immunity, and function. ● Menopause is a key vulnerability window for women's brain ageing and Alzheimer's risk. ● Women face higher Alzheimer's prevalence, not just because they live longer. ● Women were excluded from trials for decades, leaving dangerous gaps in knowledge. ● Fear of neurosexism and misunderstandings of feminism slowed progress. ● Precision medicine must include sex and gender or risk missing early diagnoses. ● Research funding and clinical guidelines lag far behind need. ● Momentum is building: younger researchers and public interest are pushing change. ● Core message: Different ≠ inferior. Diversity drives discovery. -- Find more information on our guests, and a full transcript of this podcast on our website at: https://www.dementiaresearcher.nihr.ac.uk/podcast -- The views and opinions expressed by guests in this podcast represent those of the guests and do not necessarily reflect those of University College London, Dementia Researcher or its funders. -- Follow us on social media: https://www.instagram.com/dementia_researcher/ https://www.facebook.com/Dementia.Researcher/ https://www.twitter.com/demrescommunity https://www.linkedin.com/company/dementia-researcher https://www.bsky.app/profile/dementiare…archer.bsky.social -- Download and Register with our Community App: https://www.onelink.to/dementiaresearcher
How will it all end? Predicting the far future of our Universe depends on understanding its present. This lecture starts with what seems to be a paradox in modern cosmology: that we have a model that does a fantastic job of explaining what we see, but which says 95% of the Universe is in forms (dark matter and dark energy) that we don't understand. From there, we get a quick tour of the next 100 billion years – and speculate how the Universe's end may hold the secrets of its beginnings.This lecture was recorded by Chris Lintott on the 24th of September 2025 at Conway Hall, LondonProfessor Chris Lintott is a Professor of Astrophysics at the University of Oxford, and a Research Fellow at New College.Having been educated at Magdalene College, Cambridge and University College London, his research now ranges from understanding how galaxies form and evolve, to using machine learning to find the most unusual things in the Universe, to predicting the properties of visiting interstellar asteroids. He was the founder of the Zooniverse citizen science platform, which provides opportunities for more than two million online volunteers to contribute to scientific research, and which was the topic of his first book, 'The Crowd and the Cosmos'. His latest book is ‘Our Accidental Universe'. Professor Lintott is best known for presenting the BBC's long-running Sky at Night program, and as an accomplished lecturer. Away from work, he cooks, suffers through being a fan of Torquay United and Somerset cricket, and spends time with a rescued lurcher, Mr Max. He can often be found at the helm of Oxford's science comedy night, ‘Huh, That's Funny'.The transcript of the lecture is available from the Gresham College website: https://www.gresham.ac.uk/watch-now/how-it-endsGresham College has offered free public lectures for over 400 years, thanks to the generosity of our supporters.

This week Adam Biles speaks with international lawyer and acclaimed author Philippe Sands about his latest book, 38 Londres Street: On Impunity, Pinochet in England and a Nazi in Patagonia. Building on East West Street and The Ratline, Sands traces the remarkable and disturbing links between Nazi officer Walter Rauff—architect of the mobile gas vans—and Chilean dictator Augusto Pinochet. Their conversation explores how Rauff escaped Europe, settled in South America, and later became entangled with Pinochet's regime, raising profound questions about memory, complicity, and justice. Sands also shares his personal and professional connection to this history: as a barrister involved in Pinochet's extradition case, and as the descendant of a family decimated by the Holocaust. Blending archival detective work, courtroom drama, and encounters with extraordinary witnesses, Sands reveals the human stories behind the law. This is a gripping, moving, and sometimes unsettling dialogue about the echoes of history and the pursuit of accountability.Buy 38 Londres Street: https://www.shakespeareandcompany.com/books/38-londres-street-2*Philippe Sands was born in London in 1960 and studied Law at the University of Cambridge.

He writes regularly for the press and serves as a commentator for the BBC, CNN and other radio and television producers. His BBC Storyville film My Nazi Legacy: What Our Fathers Did premiered in April 2015 at the Tribecca Film Festival. Sands co-wrote a podcast of the same name for the BBC.
