Send us a textIn this compelling episode of Coffee in the Barn, Dr. Casey Bradley sits down with molecular biologist and biotech entrepreneur Dr. Howard Urnovitz to uncover a revolutionary perspective on human and animal health. Driven by a deeply personal mission, Dr. Urnovitz shares his journey from developing groundbreaking diagnostics—including the first FDA-approved urine test for HIV—to launching FBB Biomed, a company that leverages RNA sequencing and artificial intelligence to detect disease long before symptoms appear.From the misunderstood role of “junk DNA” and endogenous viruses to the impact of environmental toxins on gene expression, this episode challenges conventional thinking about disease, diagnostics, and the true potential of genomics. Dr. Urnovitz also discusses his provocative new book Unnatural Selection, which connects the dots between historical pandemics, agricultural practices, and modern health crises.Whether you're a student, scientist, producer, or policy advocate, this episode is packed with insights that will inspire you to think differently about how we safeguard the health of our animals, ourselves, and our planet.☕ So grab your coffee—and join us as we explore the frontier where science, storytelling, and systems thinking collide.To learn more about Poultry Lingo 2025, email technical@animistic.co Please email technical@animistic.co to learn more about our regulatory packages.

Biological justification for all forms of inequality has a long history, with the claim that particular groups suffer disproportionately from inherited flaws of ability and character used to explain a remarkably wide variety of inequalities. Providing an important critique of that biodeterminist history and how the Human Genome Project has inspired some contemporary scientists and economists to follow a similar path of ascribing socioeconomic outcomes to genetic inheritance, The American Gene: Unnatural Selection Along Class, Race, and Gender Lines (Routledge, 2025) details new research that suggests that the social and economic environment can affect how genes express themselves in specific human traits and social outcomes. Using the three cases of the American white working class, Black Americans and American women, the authors demonstrate that relying on nature as an explanation is seriously flawed - showing that the socioeconomic inheritance created by the conditions in which these populations worked and lived offer a far better explanation than nature for the stratified results. This book is the story of an American history rife with unnecessary misery and the waste of human potential, along with the liberating effect of understanding the degree to which its citizens are the product of social inheritance and the potential power of a nurturing economy and society that equality promises.

It's that time of year when our good friend Jonathan Harker takes a trip to Transylvania, and in honor of such it's time for Jeff and Emma to break down what surely has to be the most accurate Dracula adaptation—Bram Stoker's Dracula (1992). It's even got the author's name! The cowboy is there! Wait, what? What do you mean they make Dracula a brooding antihero? What do you mean Mina wants to fuck him like her life depends on it? What do you mean Jonathan is played by Keanu Reeves? Oh boy, sounds like the creatures of the night have sure made some… strange... music with this one.   Content warnings for Dracula include: sexual assault, gaslighting, death of a loved one, death of a family member, medical horror, racism and xenophobia towards the Romani people, some weird Victorian values, and the consuming of one baby.   Content warnings for Bram Stoker's Dracula (1992) include: all of the above content warnings PLUS a frankly ridiculous level of horniness.   The articles and interviews Emma references in this episode can be found here: https://people.com/movies/francis-ford-coppola-denies-winona-ryder-verbal-abuse-dracula/ https://ew.com/article/2015/10/06/francis-ford-coppola-remembers-dracula/ https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9WwF6vRG3FE https://ew.com/article/2015/08/03/bram-stokers-dracula-francis-ford-coppola-bluray/ https://www.thedigitalfix.com/dracula/cary-elwes-interview-francis-ford-coppola https://www.theguardian.com/culture/2024/nov/20/bram-stokers-dracula-francis-ford-coppolas-very-horny-vampire-epic https://www.polygon.com/horror/507232/bram-stokers-dracula-1992-nosferatu-horny-vampire-sex https://www.nytimes.com/1992/12/06/style/the-new-blood-culture.html   You can find Emma on twitter @ematsca and the show @UnselectPod.

Not all change is for the better…Tonight, Chilling Tales for Dark Nights invites you into a world where transformation is not a choice—it's a trap. In this chilling new episode, three unsettling tales explore the terrifying consequences of stepping beyond the boundaries of body, mind, and identity. A desperate man seeks help for his deepest fear, only to uncover a treatment far more disturbing than the affliction itself. A survivor of a life-changing accident begins to suspect that what was lost should have stayed that way. And an experiment in empathy turns into something far darker when a simple exercise in understanding becomes a permanent nightmare. Join returning guest narrator SomberReads as he brings these tales to life with his signature haunting delivery. But be warned—once you start down this path, there's no turning back.
