Researchers Under the Scope
Cross-Linked Clues: Jack Walther on Depression and Alzheimer's

Researchers Under the Scope

As an undergraduate student, Jack Walther's friends often come to him when they need a listening ear, or help with with relationship struggles. This summer, Walther took his fascination with the brain and mood disorders to Dr. Darrell Mousseau's psychiatry laboratory, learning to untangle some of the tiny molecular threads that might explain why depression so often shows up alongside dementia. Walther and the research team dug into the physical interactions between serotonin and the beta amyloid peptides that build up in patients with Alzheimer's disease. . He admits going from the classroom to the laboratory was a sharp learning curve. "It was totally different," he said. "It's daunting once you get onto it, but once you get going, it makes a lot more sense and you feel way more comfortable." Using human embryonic kidney cells, Walther and lab staff used cross-linking chemicals to literally 'catch' proteins interacting.  In this episode, Walther recalls the day Mousseau hustled into the lab, results in hand. "I could see the excitement in his face and it just made kind of the lab buzz a little," said Walther. "We found there is actually some kind of physical interaction between these beta amyloids and the serotonin receptor." Mousseau's laboratory is narrowing down biochemical events common to depression and Alzheimer's disease, looking for modifable targets in the depressed brain that could slow or delay the onset of the neurodegenerative disorder. Walther said being part of that laboratory work felt 'incredible'. "I want to bring some good into this world," he said. "I would like to focus on people that struggle to help themselves. Whether that's neurodegenerative or it's people that are just stuck in place and don't know what to do." He aims to earn his honours degree in neuroscience, then keep pressing on. "Whichever way that takes me, that's when I'll be happy with what I've accomplished," Walther said.

// Michael Walther hat schon viel erlebt auf dem Wasser, aber ein solches Projekt, das war auch für ihn eine ordentliche Hausnummer: mit dem Standup-Paddleboard über den Atlantik – drei Monate völlige Einsamkeit, Schufterei, Wind und Wellen. Die Einsamkeit kickt schon wenige Seemeilen nach dem Start unerwartet krass rein, wenig später spielt das Meer verrückt. Und doch groovt Michael sich nach ein paar Tagen ein auf seiner Nussschale von Board. Bis, ja bis es in dieser einen Nacht auf einmal so richtig rummst ... In dieser Folge spreche ich mit Michael über die Vorbereitungen, die für ein solches Abenteuer notwendig sind, über Risikomanagement, das Alleinesein und seine persönlichen Ziele. Michael verrät, wie wenig romantisch es da draußen für ihn während dieses Abenteuers war und wie schwer es ihm noch heute fällt, das Erlebte richtig einzuordnen. Ein sehr ehrlicher Talk, aus dem du selbst dann eine Menge mitnehmen kannst, wenn du selbst nicht unbedingt scharf darauf bist, morgen in See zu stechen. // Alle Werbepartner des FREI RAUS Podcast und aktuelle Rabatte für Hörer:innen findest du unter https://www.christofoerster.com/freiraus-partner // Hier kannst du den wöchentlichen Newsletter zum Podcast abonnieren: https://www.christofoerster.com/freiraus // Ich freue mich, wenn du den Podcast mit einem keinen Beitrag unterstützt!

Today we have Dr. Marina Walther-Antonio, a Mayo Clinic researcher who investigates the role of the microbiome in cancer and reproductive health, particularly endometrial and ovarian cancers. According to the World Cancer Research Fund International, endometrial and ovarian cancers are among the top 10 most prevalent cancers in women worldwide, and there are still no standard screenings for early detection. Marina is an assistant professor in the Department of Surgery and the Mayo Clinic Center for Individualized Medicine Microbiome Program. She has a joint appointment in the department of Obstetrics and Gynecology. Today we talk to Marina about how she and her colleagues are utilizing the methodologies of environmental microbiology and technologies used in astrobiology to improve our understanding of endometrial and ovarian cancers. Through her investigations into the microbiome, she and her team are developing early detection tests that will enable clinical interventions before certain cancers develop. Show notes: [00:03:13] Dawn opens our interview asking Marina about the history of her interest in extraterrestrial life. [00:05:49] Dawn mentions that Marina did her undergraduate studies in Portugal at the University of Aveiro, where she majored in biology. Dawn asks why Marina chose biology as her major. [00:06:39] Ken explains that the undergraduate programs at Aveiro University require students to do a year of research outside the university and asks Marina about her experience with this requirement. [00:08:34] Ken explains that while Marina was conducting her internship at NASA Ames Research Center, there were several projects under way at the astrobiology institute, with the one that Marina was assigned to looking at a Mars analogue site in Oregon's Warner Valley. Ken asks what kind of work Marina did on this project. [00:10:06] Ken asks Marina why after earning a master's degree in microbiology from Indiana University, she went to Washington State University to earn a Ph.D. in environmental sciences. [00:13:29] Dawn asks about Marina's Ph.D. research on microbialites, which are microbial structures that can thrive at the bottom of certain freshwater lakes and other extreme environments. [00:16:02] Dawn explains that just as Marina began researching microbial populations, the Mayo Clinic Center for Individualized Medicine created a microbiome program. Dawn asks Marina about the circumstances that led to her joining Mayo. [00:19:05] Dawn mentions that Dr. Claire Fraser, the director of Maryland's Institute for Genome Sciences pointed out in Episode 32 of STEM-Talk that there are more microbes on a single person's hands than there are people on Earth, as well as the fact that our gut is home to more than 100 trillion bacteria. Dawn asks Marina to talk about this microbial side of humanity. [00:21:51] Ken mentions that if listeners are interested in learning more about the microbiome and how it affects human health, they should listen to Episodes 20 and 168 with Dr. Alessio Fasano. Ken asks Marina to give a short overview of the microbiome. [00:25:37] Dawn asks Marina how the focus of her research shifted to the role of the microbiome in cancer and reproductive health. [00:29:00] Dawn explains that endometrial and ovarian cancers are among the top 10 most prevalent cancers in women worldwide; with ovarian cancer being the most common gynecological malignancy and the fifth leading cause of death due to cancer in women in the nation. Dawn goes on to explain that in a 2023 paper Marina investigated the area of microbiome that is associated with ovarian cancer to better understand the microbiome's potential in early detection. Dawn asks Marina to talk about this study and its findings. [00:35:55] Given the small scale and sample size of her initial study, Ken asks Marina what her ideal follow-up study would look like.

In 3 Monaten über 6.000 Kilometer allein auf dem Meer zurücklegen.Wir sprechen über den Mut, so eine Reise überhaupt zu starten, über die Zweifel, die man dabei hat – und über die Mischung aus Abenteuerlust, Idealismus und innerem Antrieb, die nötig ist, um so etwas überhaupt zu wagen.Doch die Reise nahm eine unerwartete Wendung: Nach rund 1.000 Kilometern, auf Höhe der Kanaren, kollidierte Michael mit einem unbekannten Objekt im Meer – und musste seine Tour abbrechen.Wir sprechen darüber, was in diesem Moment in ihm vorging und wie man mit dem (vermeintlichen) Scheitern umgeht.Natürlich geht es auch Michaels Mission: Zero Emissions, Klimaschutz und die Frage, wie wir mit unseren Ozeanen umgehen.

FAN MAIL--We would love YOUR feedback--Send us a Text MessageWords can move nations—and sometimes they move them off a cliff. We dive into the antebellum South to examine the Fire Eaters, the radical pro‑slavery leaders whose speeches, platforms, and media campaigns turned sectional tension into a secession movement. With William W. Freehling's and Eric H. Walther's research as our guide, we unpack how mainstream Democratic moderates once contained extremism, why that buffer failed, and how a small but relentless network reframed compromise as dishonor and delay as defeat.We explore the core playbook: amplify grievance, define identity against an enemy, and repeat a simple choice—submit or secede. William Lowndes Yancey emerges as the silver‑tongued strategist who pushed the Alabama Platform and helped fracture the Democratic Party at Charleston in 1860, while Robert Barnwell Rhett's Charleston Mercury kept the pressure on with relentless editorials and organizing. Their coordination—one commanding the stage, the other the press—created a feedback loop that made moderation sound timid and militancy sound inevitable. Along the way, we revisit key flashpoints like Bleeding Kansas and the caning of Charles Sumner, not as isolated events but as fuel for a narrative that sold rupture as rescue.This conversation isn't just about the past; it's a lens for the present. We track how over‑the‑top rhetoric accelerates polarization, how media ecosystems can reward the loudest voices, and what happens when political identity hardens into a zero‑sum creed. The takeaway is both sobering and practical: language shapes choices, and choices shape history. If you care about how societies keep disagreement from becoming disaster, this story matters.Key Points from the Episode:• Fire Eaters defined as radical pro‑slavery secessionists• Moderates within the Democratic Party as temporary brake on extremism• Propaganda through speeches and newspapers to harden opinion• Yancey's Alabama Platform and Charleston 1860 walkout• Rhett's Charleston Mercury as engine of agitation• Walther's argument on movement diversity and acceleration of secession• Biographical arcs of Yancey and Rhett as case studies in radicalization• Caution on the social cost of over‑the‑top rhetoric• Preview of a debate comparing 1860 rhetoric to todayOther resources: Want to leave a review?

Melvyn Bragg and guests discuss the Dutch artist famous for starry nights and sunflowers, self portraits and simple chairs. These are images known the world over, and Vincent van Gogh (1853-1890) painted them and around 900 others in the last decade of his short, brilliant life and, famously, in that lifetime he made only one recorded sale. Yet within a few decades after his death these extraordinary works, with all their colour and life, became the most desirable of all modern art, propelled in part by the story of Vincent van Gogh's struggle with mental health.

Rev. Dr. Matthew Harrison, president of The Lutheran Church—Missouri Synod, takes some time during the Gathering to talk about Christ's life and Christian love for all human life.   Bio: The Rev. Dr. Matthew C. Harrison has served as president of The Lutheran Church—Missouri Synod (LCMS) since 2010. As president, he is the chief ecclesiastical supervisor of the Synod and is responsible for the ministries directed by LCMS International Center staff, including the Office of International Mission and its nearly 150 missionaries serving around the globe. Before becoming president, Harrison served for nine years as executive director of LCMS World Relief and Human Care (2001–2010), which expended over $100 million for mercy efforts done in the clear name of Christ. These efforts included caring for people after 9-11, Katrina and many hurricanes, the great Asia tsunami, the Haiti earthquake, and many other disasters and humanitarian efforts. Harrison also managed relationships with some 120 LCMS Recognized Service Organizations and other inter-Lutheran social ministry organizations, worked in consultation with LCMS partner/sister churches to build capacity during numerous mercy outreach efforts, and managed LCMS pro-life efforts. From 1995 to 2001, Harrison served as pastor of Zion Lutheran Church in Fort Wayne, Ind. Prior to that, he served St. Peter's Lutheran Church in Westgate, Iowa (1991–1995). Ordained in 1991, he has served in a number of elected and appointed positions in the LCMS and on various entity boards of directors. Harrison is co-founder and chairman of the board of The International Lutheran Society of Wittenberg (Old Latin School), which hosts some 40 students and church planters from the European Union and beyond who are studying to become ordained pastors. In addition, Harrison chairs the board of the Lutheran Center for Religious Liberty and serves on the executive committee of the International Lutheran Council. Harrison is also active in the prolife movement and frequently speaks at such events. A native of Sioux City, Iowa, Harrison holds a bachelor's degree in religious studies from Morningside University in Sioux City, Iowa. He attended Concordia University, Nebraska, in 1984. He has M.Div. and S.T.M. degrees from Concordia Theological Seminary, Fort Wayne. Harrison has pursued additional graduate study at Concordia Seminary, St. Louis, and Concordia Theological Seminary, Fort Wayne. Furthermore, he has received honorary doctorates from Concordia University Ann Arbor, Ann Arbor, Mich., and Concordia Theological Seminary, Fort Wayne. Since 2010, Harrison has served as assistant pastor of Village Lutheran Church, Ladue, Mo. He has translated and edited five volumes of essays and letters by Lutheran theologian Hermann Sasse (published through Concordia Publishing House [CPH]). He has also revised C.F.W. Walther's The Church and the Office of the Ministry (CPH) and written several other books, including Christ Have Mercy, A Little Book on Joy and At Home in the House of My Fathers. Harrison has been married to Kathy (Schimm) Harrison since 1981, and they have two sons (Matthew M.L. married to Courtney, and Mark M.C. married to Tara). The Harrisons have two grandchildren, Rosie and Shiloh. In his spare time, Harrison enjoys reading, writing, vintage Jeeps, old banjos and books, and — most of all — time with family.

The Thinking Fellows podcast breaks down C.F.W. Walther's classic work The Proper Distinction Between Law and Gospel. This episode offers a brief introduction to Walther and explores why properly distinguishing between Law and Gospel is a vital task for every Christian preacher. Distinguishing Law and Gospel is one of the most difficult yet essential tasks of the Christian life. Command and promise are not merely theological slogans; they are the means by which God delivers faith and creates saints out of sinners.

Matthew Walther on Conspiracy Theories

This is a free preview of a paid episode. To hear more, visit wisdomofcrowds.liveDead almost six years, Jeffrey Epstein is back in the news. The sordid details of his crimes, and the elaborate conspiracy concerning elites that he may or may not have been a part of, have become a central issue within the MAGA coalition. Conspiracy theories in general are now a part of daily political life. None of us can escape them. Most of us probably half-believe in at least one of them. Why is that?Today's guest is the writer Matthew Walther, editor of The Lamp, biographer of John Henry Cardinal Newman, and a columnist for The New York Times. He has written extensively about Epstein, Russiagate, and the place of conspiracy theories in American politics. He joined Shadi Hamid and Damir Marusic to ponder the Epstein saga and its potential to hurt Trump's coalition. “We live in an awesome country, why do we have to make up stories about a decline that doesn't even really exist?” Shadi says near the beginning of the conversation. Walther explains how conspiracy theories are politically useful, and how they “almost on a dime can become useful to one side or another.” Damir agrees about the bipartisan nature of conspiracy-mongering: “For the Left it was the Pee Tape, and for the Right it's this [Epstein] stuff.” The conversation goes deep into the nature of conspiracy theories and the psychological need they satisfy. Epstein, Stop the Steal, Russiagate and of course, the Kennedy assassination are all discussed. Walther quotes the English philosopher Gilbert Ryle as a guide: “A myth is, of course, not a fairy story. It is the presentation of facts belonging to one category in the idioms appropriate to another. To explode a myth is accordingly not to deny the facts but to re-allocate them.”In our bonus section for paid subscribers, the gang discusses the work of Seymour Hersh; Damir and Shadi argue whether the Democrats have ever had a cult of personality equivalent to that of Trump; Matthew argues that Obama is a lot like Trump; Matthew explains why Nixon was “the last, great technocratic leftist”; Shadi distinguishes emotional versus material self-interest in order to explain why MAGA won't break with Trump; Damir and Shadi disagree about technocracy; and more!Required Reading:* Matthew Walther, “Sorry, This Epstein Stuff Isn't Going to Hurt Trump” (New York Times).* Matthew Walther, “The Pointless Triumph of a Hapless President” (New York Times). * Matthew Walther, “The Jeffrey Epstein case is why people believe in Pizzagate” (The Week). * Matthew Walther, “The most respectable conspiracy theory in Washington” (The Week). * Matthew Walther refers to Paul Fussell's concept of “high proles” in “Talking About Class in America” (American Conservative). * Jonathan Chait, “What If Trump Has Been a Russian Asset Since 1987?” (New York). * “The CIA Reveals More of Its Connections to Lee Harvey Oswald” (Washington Post). * Gilbert Ryle, The Concept of Mind (Amazon). * Musa al-Gharbi, “No, America is not on the brink of a civil war” (The Guardian). * “Airline Deregulation: When Everything Changed” (Smithsonian Air and Space Museum).
