What's the episode about?   In this episode, hear live recordings and interviews from the DEATHxDESIGNxCULTURE conference at Falmouth University in September 2024. The episode features discussion of death, culture, older age rational suicide (OARS), film, design, grief, knitting, jewellery and memento mori, material culture, museums, and memorial reefs   What was DEATHxDESIGNxCULTURE?  DEATHxDESIGNxCULTURE: Radical Re-Imagining for the End of Life brought together an interdisciplinary group of researchers, practitioners, and designers to critically explore the role of design in relation to death and dying. With a strong focus on interdisciplinarity, the event facilitated knowledge exchange between experts in social sciences, the humanities, and various design fields.     Contributions came from a diverse range of areas, including graphic design, architecture, digital design, fashion design, and product design, highlighting the versatility and expansive nature of design in addressing issues of mortality.   The event was organised by Falmouth University senior lecturers Dr Robyn Cook, Nikki Salkeld and Ashley Rudolph in partnership with the Death and Culture Network at the University of York (UK), Stamps School of Art & Design at the University of Michigan (USA), and the Glasgow End of Life Studies Group at the University of Glasgow (UK). Nikki Salkeld and Ashley Rudolph, are the co-founders of MOTH, which started as a research project in 2013.  Find out more about the conference here. Find out more about Mortem Stores here.

Recorded on 31 October 2024 for ICMDA Webinars. Dr Peter Saunders chairs a webinar with Dr Benjamin Bronnert Walker An historical approach to faith-based healthcare can offer insights into how government, medical groups, public health authorities, international organisations, and spiritual communities interact over the long term. Historical analysis provides a vital (but often under-utilised) explanatory model for developing a coherent understanding of how and why faith-based providers have shaped health over many decades. Looking back allows us new insights into intractable debates as we forge shared paths forward. By interrogating the competing actors in a health landscape such as Ghana across a century of large-scale political, economic and cultural changes, we can explore how faith-based providers have informed what global health has become. Dr Benjamin Bronnert Walker is a historian of global health and religion, and Fellow of the Royal Historical Society. He is the Strategic Portfolio Manager for the Diocese of Leeds in the Church of England and coordinates the Anglican Health and Community Network, the official global health network of the Anglican Communion. His book 'Religion in Global Health and Development: The Case of Twentieth Century Ghana' was published in April 2022 by McGill-Queen's University Press. The research was funded by the Wellcome Trust and he was based in the WHO Collaborating Centre for Global Health Histories at the University of York (UK). ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠To listen live to future ICMDA webinars visit⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://icmda.net/resources/webinars/⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠

Design is positioned as an expanded field inviting contributions from subject areas including, but not limited to: graphic design; multidisciplinary design; architecture; digital design; fashion design; and product design. A multi-modal approach will stretch the conventions of a conference format, incorporating experience design; exhibitions and pedagogic interventions; university-industry knowledge transfer; and opportunities for traditional academic papers.

Welcome back to another insightful episode of "Pain Matters" with Lorimer Moseley! In this follow-up episode, we're delving deeper into Pain Hyper Sensitivity, building on the thought-provoking discussions from our previous installment that sparked numerous reactions and questions from our engaged audience at mail@mastersessions.academy. Join us as we explore the clinical presentations and diagnostic properties related to Pain Hyper Sensitivity. Lorimer sheds light on the examination process and provides explanations that aim to demystify this complex topic. Recognizing the need for clinicians to identify patterns, Lorimer emphasizes the importance of initiating conversations, not just through words but also by employing experiential learning strategies. Ever wondered how to effectively convey these concepts to your patients? Lorimer shares insights on what works, what doesn't, and the significance of understanding these nuances in patient care. As we approach the end of the year, let's reflect together and gather inspiration to fuel ourselves for a promising 2024. Wishing you all happy holidays, and we can't wait to continue exploring exciting topics with you in the coming year.

This week: live art and activism. Performance art has long been used as a vehicle for protest and political activism and now, in its tenth edition, the Performa Biennial in New York has a new programme dedicated to artists exploring the subject. Protest and Performance: A Way of Life, which started as part of the 19-day festival this week, features eight events involving artists from across the world but with particular links to the Middle East, While it was programmed months ahead of the present war in Gaza, it has inevitably gained further relevance. We talk to Defne Ayas, the senior program advisor, and Kathy Noble, the senior curator at Performa, about the programme. In the UK, the National Trust, which looks after historic buildings and landscapes across Britain, has become the subject of a row between its current management and campaigners who argue that it has strayed from its essential remit. The Art Newspaper's associate digital editor, Alexander Morrison, speaks to Martin Drury, a former director-general of the Trust, about why it has prompted such an intense debate. And this episode's Work of the Week is Hans Holbein the Younger's portrait of Derich Born from 1533, a newly restored painting that features in an exhibition at the Queen's Gallery in London, one of the principal venues for the UK's Royal Collection. The show, Holbein at the Tudor Court, is curated by Kate Heard, and she tells us about the picture.Performa Biennial 2023, New York, until 19 November.

Find out more about this event on our website: https://bit.ly/3I4UTdH We show that the premia ills of finance, asset mispricing and short-termism, have a common cause. The problems stem from the commonly adopted, and seemingly prudent practice whereby Giant pension and other institutional funds benchmark short-term performance of their delegated asset managers to market cap indexes or peer group performance. This forces the managers to chase rising prices irrespective of fundamental value, which in turn leads to high volatility of over-valued assets, momentum trading, and over-valuation of the aggregate market. Excessive focus on short-term asset prices obliges corporates to follow suit to the detriment of capital investment and long term growth. The solution will benefit social and investor wealth.

I'm here today with Joe, Joe Graves who with his brother, I think it is Joe isn't it runs in York, you do things like podcasts, audio books, training materials. So it's like, and Joe's got a huge amount of experience in this recording business. So he knows a lot more about how to record things than I do. So I'm sure we're gonna learn a lot from talking to Joe about how to go about making your podcast etc, better. So Joe, welcome to It's not rocket science, five questions over coffee.Joe Graves  01:00Thank you very much for having me.Stuart Webb  01:01I hope you've got a cup of coffee in front of you. And I hope you'reJoe Graves  01:05it's too late in the day for me to have coffee. And I'm like,Stuart Webb  01:09Joe, tell us a little bit about who it is you help with your recording studio and the sort of problems they've got when they come to you.Joe Graves  01:16So at the minute, it's, it's funny, it's changed massively over the past year or so for 10 years, actually a little longer. It was we were recording bands and music. And we were in that world for a long time. To the point where we're even living in in Arizona for a while I like working straight for labels and stuff. But as time has gone on, I'm like I'm 31 now, stuff has changed. Since I've got into the game. You're you become passionate about different things. And obviously as you as you run a business, you become heavily interested in how you run businesses and you start learning you reading books, reading books on running a business and all that and speaking to people like yourself and your calibre take a massive interest in that. So that's when we started taking a bit of a turn into a set of public services, as opposed to recording music and mixing music, such as podcasts, you know, work and do more b2b stuff. So yeah, now we focus a lot on that. And I would say 90% of our customers are of our businesses. And they're not really restricted in what kinds of businesses they are, for example, we do. Like say we produce audiobooks from top to bottom for some of the largest publishers in the world, such as Strathmore, like St to Audible stuff, you know, things like that we do a lot of podcasts for companies, such as Federation of small businesses, who are, you know, some of the biggest business consultants in the entire UK you know, as well as some smaller companies like we have gyms, you know, sort of professional athletes come in, they interview other professional athletes on mindset, things like that. So, then the game is quite wide. And you know, how you can use podcast to grow your business. And it's really just about connecting with your audience, which is, I suppose the angle we take on it, because that's what I believe podcasts do. And this is kind of like what we're doing now gives people an opportunity to see or hear Yeah, learn from you. That just allows you to feel like you know, people have when you know, people, it's easy to do business with them. So that's the route we thinkStuart Webb  03:18it's that no, like, trust thing, isn't it? I mean, you hear your real real conversations with real people, you realise that they've actually got a life beyond the sort of the business, that sort of thing. It helps to build that connection.Joe Graves  03:31Yeah, massively.Stuart Webb  03:32So one of the sorts of things that people have tried to do before they come and see a real professional like you Joe, what did you inject into their, into their podcasting or audio recording, which, which, you know, the rest of us are still struggling with? So I mean,Joe Graves  03:47it can be a lot of things, it does vary up. I was amazed actually, when I started doing podcasts how how difficult that can be to produce you know, from top to bottom, when you factor in, obviously, the audio recordings, the video recordings, particularly video of Meeks it was all audio before, so learned about video has been a massive learning curve for me, everything down to, you know, camera seven record limits, stuff like that. So how do you bypass that and then, wow, it costs a lot of money to do so. Stuff like that. So I suppose reverse. It's the quality, I think is one of the major factors because you can you can do podcasts like this, you know, I'm here on my laptop right now. And it's still it's still a great way to do a podcast you know, if I was feeling fancy, I could have brought like a camera with me and plugged it into a 4k camera plugged into my computer or brought a microphone and whatnot. But it's not always necessary you know, you can still create great content without it but for some customers while our customers at least they've goal, they have the belief which I suppose I do agree with on many levels. Is that the quality helps. helps the customers suppose they can enjoy it more if they're watching some it maybe Yeah, maybe 4k, whatever it be, it can be a bit more immersive. So there's benefits to doing it in the studio, not to mention the fact that it's totally out their hands, it's done for you. They can come up with a concept come to us, we'll set up all the microphones, do all the recordings of the cameras, do all the editing after chop up the social media snippets, great thumbnails, it's done for them and handed to want to play. So I suppose that's where we come in. When it comes to podcasting.Stuart Webb  05:28Yeah, yeah. Brilliant. Okay, so I guess you have a lot of very valuable advice that you could give to some of the audience. So give us give us the pearls of wisdom, Joe, what is it we should all be thinking about when we're doing these things that will just help us improve just that little bit? And bring some of that professionalism you've got?Joe Graves  05:47So you talk in purely in terms of production? Are you talking in terms of why should we even be doing a podcast? OrStuart Webb  05:53you Well, yeah, it's a really great questions on it. I mean, yeah, I was thinking in terms of production, but I mean, you know, the, why should you be doing a podcast? We all know that podcasts are the the up and coming thing. And, and frankly, you know, I was talking to somebody about this. And, you know, I'm launching, you know, I think you've got a similar sort of offering, why should you do a podcast? At this stage, you know, with some 600 million blogs out there. Although there are a lot of podcasts, there's only about two, 2 million of them out in out in the world. And to be honest, you're you're a much bigger fish in the podcast world than you are sort of trying to be a blogger, aren'tJoe Graves  06:28you? Well of that, and it's just it's, it's incredibly easy to digest. Yes, I'm watching. I don't know about yourself. But if I have a question of what to learn how to do something, I'm gonna go straight to YouTube instead. You know, and again, if it's, if I'm driving, it will be like, there's certain podcasts I listen to, it's great company, there can be educational depends what kind of thing you're going for, quite frankly, a no brainer. Like, I think if you're a company, it's the perfect entry point. No matter what you're doing, it's a way to demonstrate your authority and your niche, it's a way to, like I say, the big one is connect with your audience. Because it really is if people understand the people behind your business, and they do agree with you about many things, they're going to think about you instead of your competitors, when they're ready to buy the kind of thing you sell. So in my eyes, it's a no brainer. And you can have one conversation like this and chop it up into 510 pieces. And then you've got regular content for a week, a month, or whatever you want to distribute it. It's an absolute no brainer. And here's the big hidden benefit that a lot of people don't know about. And I think I might have spoke to you about this, when we last them first spoke the networking aspect of it. But particularly if you do an interview style things, you know, podcasts, it's such a great way, like more people than you can imagine. They're happy to come and talk about themselves and what they do. And this is the thing, it's such an easy sell. If you are of course it's free, it costs anything. But you know, if you say it's one, I offer this, you know, are you interested? They might look at it, they might go talk to me, you know, but if you say you want to come talk about yourself for half an hour 80% of the time, the answer is yes. And you know, we've all been sly about having an ulterior motive. You know, it doesn't have to be that they become your customer, but maybe someone they know, might be interested in what you do, and you ultimately just building a network. It's a fantastic way to do it. It really is. Because well, first of all, I mean, in my case, I'm demonstrating what I do. Yeah, sir. And I tell you in a very short space of time, we've filled our studio with this kind of, you know, we spent a while thinking we want to go to music, how do we do it? How do you get into the b2b world and it really was a perplexing situation for me my brother like how do you do it like you do speak to what do you do? And then it was from a customer we had a total fluke podcast customer who came in said, Oh, we're trying to do a podcast you do it. We're like, suppose weekend, that we quizzed them on it and explained exactly this to us, like, yeah, we're meeting all the best people. And then we're getting referrals. We're getting work. And in a very short space of time, like I said, we've gone from music to this. And it's, it's just been the greatest way. And all you're doing is having conversations with people. It's fantastic. It's fun. It's easy. It's a no brainer.Stuart Webb  09:11Do you know it's brilliant. You put it like that? Actually, Joker? You're absolutely right. Too many people think podcasts are something special, but they're not. They're another form of content. And they're a conversation and you know, we have conversations all day, every day. And nobody ever thinks of the fact that those conversations can actually be quite meaningful. They can actually be interesting. Most people are you know, they don't they go into conversations just you know, on thinking or you got to do is sort of switch on that. And suddenly they become something else, don't they? And you know, you're right. We're here we met we met because while I love, great, great, we connected over podcasting. We're talking now about podcasting because we really enjoy it. I actually agree with you and present. I think one of the best things I ever did was start up a podcast because I've met some really, really interesting people and And then I put on my network. So when I want something, it's a really warm introduction to reach out to them and say hi again, you know, remember, remember that great episode we did? Oh, by the way, if you know anybody else who'd like to have exactly the same thing that I'd love to sort of talk to, and there's a warm introduction, they immediately turn around go, yeah, that was a great conversation. It was great fun. My mate bill would like to go at that. It's such a such a quick way to build your network.Joe Graves  10:23You couldn't have said it backwards. That's exactly what it is. Yeah. You reentering with a, you know, a warm, warm connection. And, you know, as much as that can be a tactical thing, in business, or life or whatever, that's really all the world is it's, you know, it's relationships, you know, that's all anything is. So this is the perfect way to do it. Like I say, worst case scenario, if you meet 100 people, and not one of them, are anyone in their network needs your services or anything like that you've at least created a hell of a lot of content that you post in all over the internet. And if it's the right kind of content, for the right people, that's going to be promotion, and all cost nothing. You know, I mean, motocross something if you come and do it versus you know, because we have a full studio, so but if you did it like this, where it's like I say it's great contents a great way to do it, you can do it for free, you know, maybe unless you want to invest in a microphone or whatever. But other than that, it cost you time. Yeah. Fantastic way to do it.Stuart Webb  11:27Yeah. And today's Internet means that you, you can do and we are, you know, I'm in a different part of the country to you, we've saved all that sort of, you know, carbon by not travelling, but at the same time, we're still connecting.Joe Graves  11:40Absolutely. It's one of our customers the called factual America. And they so a factual America is the podcast wing of the main company, Halima pictures, and they're, they're a film company, they do documentaries about America. And then they were the company actually, that we got this idea of. And they in their podcast, they interviewed directors of documentaries. And they're all well, not all but most of Oscar winning directors, Grammy winning directors, all the right people, it's all the documentaries you'll see on Netflix, Disney plus Amazon Prime. So just like that the meeting all the right people, and it's it's helped them massively grow the business. Yeah. It's, it's just a genius idea, really, when you think about it, but so simple.Stuart Webb  12:30So is there been a particular? I mean, you obviously you've gone into podcasting, after after being a sound engineer and working with musicians? Was there a, was there a particular book or a course or something like that, which helps you to sort of shift or you just think would be an interesting sort of pick to be able to tell people about and get them to start thinking about some of this in their own lives?Joe Graves  12:51Podcasting, not specifically, that was just the road I was down. And, well, I mean, I'd have an interest in listening to them for a long time before we started doing them. And when I realised they were a great way to get into, for us the more b2b style of things, because I think one of our major goals was like, How can we get more retainer style clients and get some stability in the business? And this was a great way to do it for us. But in terms of like I say, not not really when it comes to podcasting. But I would say in terms of business in general, which I suppose kind of relates to podcast, it's about communication really was Donald Miller. So the first one I listened to was marketing made simple. And then, yeah, there was a listen to start building a storybrand After that, and actually got the online university. What's What's the online university called? I can't remember, but I got a year subscription for that. And it was all fantastic. Yeah, again, it all boils down to communication, how you speak to people, you know, rephrasing the way I suppose I do podcasts, you know, I help you connect with your audience. You know, that's, you know, just flip it around the approach on what it is. Because a lot of people don't realise that a podcast is a way of doing that. But everyone is, of course, interested in connecting with their audience while because who doesn't want to be thought at first, you know, who doesn't want to be the go to brand, when when someone's looking to buy the kind of thing you sell, you know? So I suppose that that was a book that really I spent a lot of time I didn't just read it over and over again, I listened to it audiobook form actually, I've not really read and listened to. But that was a book where I really dwelled on the concepts and then skew in my head for a while. And I've gotten to a point where I feel like it's second nature for me now. The concepts of the bookStuart Webb  14:43are great. Yeah, you're absolutely right. And if you're one of those people that learns by listening, learn by listening because that's what podcasts and audiobooks and those sort of courses are about now, aren't they?Joe Graves  14:52Absolutely, yeah, that again, that was another reason we got into I was like, Well, I do this the amount of audiobooks I have on business. You are podcast I've listened to on business. If I couldn't believe it was maybe a couple years after I was like, why don't I do this?Stuart Webb  15:06So, listen to this. There's been, you know, I've been asking you the questions here, and you've been generous enough with your time to talk. But there must be a question that you're currently thinking, I wish you'd asked me about such and such. So I'm gonna give you the opportunity now to ask that question. And then obviously, it would be great if you answered that question having asked Yeah,Joe Graves  15:24yeah, sure. Okay. Well, I'm about to jump in and ask myself the question, something like that. Okay. Well, like you say, you can do a podcast like this through zoom. So what's the difference in doing it studio? Why is it worth it? Like says a lot, a lot, a lot of reasons why it's worth it, it's not always necessary. But if you were to take the jump, it's higher quality. It's, you know, a lot of people find it more digestible, it stands the test of time, things age, you know, it's gonna be more evergreen, by a longshot. And the problem is, it's, it's nowhere near as easy to do, as you would think. I know, like I say, when I first jumped into like, Okay, we're gonna start recording podcasts with people. Cool, give them a mic, give them a mic, put a camera on this guy camera on that guy. Cool. What What else is there to it? I mean, I was so wrong, I can't even begin to explain the variables. The the challenge is, it's every time you do want, it's different, you know, little things like I mean, in my world, it's common sense, I have the microphone directly in front of here are maybe half a foot, but be consistent, because the total inconsistencies when you move in relation to the microphone, things like that, that are all common sense to me, and you explain it to your customer, and then they'll move around anyway. And then it's like, hang on, you're gonna explain all this before, and then keep an eye on them. It's there. It's like monitoring the entire session, then, like I say, since we started doing podcasts, the amount of money we spent on camera gear, recorders, microphones, boom, arms for the desks, line boosters, because it's quiet. You know, before this, we were recording people screaming and shouting, and you know, so you don't need a, you don't need to worry about like a low noise floor and the microphones is endless to get him to that pro level that the amount of things you just couldn't imagine. Like I say it for a lot of people is worth it. And obviously, I'm in a lucky position where I can do my own, you know, with my decent cameras and microphones and got various rooms at the studio in which we can do them for different sets, and whatnot. So yeah, I would say if you want to step up the production, don't be fooled into thinking you'll be able to do on your own. I've had over a decade of audio experience working for some massive companies are doing albums for Sony, you know, I've recorded songs that I've been on Xbox games, you know, all sorts, but this was a challenge as well, you know?Stuart Webb  17:53Yeah, it was that is a really good lesson, somebody with that sort of experience is one of this. This is challenges. He's brilliant. I put the name of the studio down at the bottom of the other screen if you if you go to inner sound audio.co.uk forward slash podcast hyphen studio. So it's inner sound audio.co.uk forward slash podcast hyphen studio, you'll find all sorts of details there about Joe and his brother, what they're up to. Great, great person to know, when it comes to this recording stuff. You'd need experts like Joe, on your side, when you're sort of doing something like this. Joe, thank you so much for spending a few minutes talking to us really appreciate you spending a few minutes out of what must be a busy day, because I know how busy you get with this sort of thing. So I really thank you very much for spending a few minutes with us and really appreciate your time.Joe Graves  18:44Thank you so much for being great.Stuart Webb  18:46No problem. Listen, people if you would like to get onto our newsletter list so that you get an email from me on Monday about who I'm interviewing, at this time most weeks, you need to go to TTA dot FYI forward slash subscribe, that's TCA dot FYI, forward slash subscribe that gets you on to the newsletter list.

News: Bedside AI warning system for sepsis reduces mortality by nearly 20% | New Atlas (01:23) Infections can trigger all kinds of reactions in the human body, and one of the most extreme is sepsis.Occurs as a result of an infection that triggers a severe immune response in the body. Begins with widespread inflammation and can end in blood clots, leaky blood vessels, organ failure or death. Diagnosing the condition is difficult in its early stages. This life-threatening complication causes more than 250,000 deaths in the US each year, but a new artificial intelligence system developed at Johns Hopkins University promises to make a real difference in this area, by catching key symptoms early on.Early diagnosis is critical because a patient experiencing sepsis can deteriorate quickly, with the condition killing around 30% of those who develop it. The Johns Hopkins team is looking to leverage advanced artificial intelligence to identify patients at risk.Does this by analyzing a patient's medical history and combining that with current symptoms, clinical notes and lab results. The AI tracks patients from the moment they are admitted to hospital until the moment they are discharged. Called the Targeted Real-Time Early Warning System By monitoring them throughout the time at the hospital, the system is designed to ensure no important, or potentially dangerous, medical details fall through the cracks. Developed and deployed in collaboration with Johns Hopkins spinoff Bayesian Health, the tool was put to use across five hospitals as part of a two-year trial, involving more than 700,000 patients. According to the researchers, the system proved very effective, leading to the detection of sepsis on average almost six hours earlier than traditional methods, with a sensitivity rate of 82%. It also fostered a high rate of adoption among healthcare providers of 89%. The result was significant reductions in morbidity, the length of hospital stay and, most importantly, a reduction in mortality of 18.2%. Neri Cohen, MD, PhD, who collaborated on the study explains the significance of this:“There aren't many things left in medicine that have a 30% mortality rate like sepsis … What makes it so vexing, is that it is relatively common and we still have made very little progress in recognizing it early enough to materially reduce the morbidity and mortality. To reduce mortality by nearly 20% is remarkable and translates to many lives saved."   Artificial Muscles Woven Into Smart Textiles Could Make Clothing Hyperfunctional | IEEE Spectrum (07:44) Engineers at the University of New South Wales (UNSW), Sydney, Australia, have developed a new class of fluid-driven smart textiles that can “shape-shift” into 3D structures.  According to Thanh Nho Do, senior lecturer at the UNSW's Graduate School of Biomedical Engineering, who led the study, development of active textiles is “either limited with slow response times due to the requirement of heating and cooling, or difficult to knit, braid, or weave in the case of fluid-driven textiles.” The researchers used a simple, low-cost fabrication technique, in which a long, thin silicone tube is directly inserted into a hollow micro coil to produce the artificial muscles, with a diameter ranging from a few hundred micrometers to several millimeters. Allowing them to mass-produce these soft artificial muscles at any scale and size The combination of hydraulic pressure, fast response times, light weight, small size, and high flexibility makes the UNSW's smart textiles versatile and programmable.  This versatility opens up potential applications in soft robotics, including shape-shifting structures, biomimicking soft robots, locomotion robots, and smart garments. Possibilities for use as medical/therapeutic wearables, as assistive devices for those needing help with movement, and as soft robots to aid the rescue and recovery of people trapped in confined spaces. These artificial muscles are still a proof of concept, Do is optimistic about commercialization in the near future, stating:“We have a Patent Cooperation Treaty application around these technologies … We are also working on clinical validation of our technology in collaborations with local clinicians, including smart compression garments, wearable assistive devices, and soft haptic interfaces.”   Brain stimulation improves motor skill learning at older age | MedicalXPress (11:53) Studies involving older individuals show that the older we get, the harder it is and the longer it takes to learn new motor skills, suggesting an age-related decrease in learning ability. A new study by researchers at EPFL has found that non-invasive electrical brain stimulation can help older adults learn new motor skills much faster. The study used a common way of evaluating how well a person learns new motor skills called the "finger-tapping task." key feature of learning involves typing a sequence of numbers as fast and as accurately as possible.  The task simulates activities that require high dexterity, while providing an objective measure of "improvement," defined as a person increasing their speed without losing accuracy (shift in the speed-accuracy tradeoff) One of the ways the brain achieves this shift for learning is by grouping individual motor actions into so called "motor chunks": spontaneously emerging brain structures that reduce a person's mental load, while optimizing the mechanical execution of the motor sequence. Ph.D. student Pablo Maceira-Elvira, who worked on the study talks about the differences of young and old trying to learn this task:“Older adults showed decreased fast online learning and absent offline learning … In other words, while young adults show sharp performance increases early in training and improve overnight, older adults improve at a more moderate pace and even worsen overnight." The researchers applied atDCS to the participants and found that it helped older adults to improve their accuracy sharply earlier on in training and in a pattern similar to that seen in young adults.atDCS: Anodal Transcranial Direct Current Stimulation Maceira-Elvira relays the results:“Stimulation accelerated the shift in the speed-accuracy tradeoff and enabled an earlier emergence of efficient motor chunks, with 50% of older adults generating these structures during the first training session.” What does that suggest? Maceira-Elvira explains that it “suggests that atDCS can at least partially restore motor skill acquisition in individuals with diminished learning mechanisms, by facilitating the storage of task-relevant information, quickly reducing mental load and allowing the optimization of the mechanical execution of the sequence." This could open up atDCS as a non-invasive way to help improve mental function that's declining due to aging or disorders like stroke.   Small molecule prevents tumor cells from spreading | Phys.org (17:35) Leiden chemists, together with colleagues at the University of York (UK) and Technion (Israel) have discovered a small, sugar-like molecule that maintains the integrity of tissue around a tumor during cancer.prevents tumor cells from spreading from the primary cancer site What makes cancer so lethal?It's ability to metastasize Metastasis, the spread of cancer cells to distant sites in the body. It depends on the ability of cancer cells to detach from the primary tumor site, and invade through blood vessel walls and tissue barriers to reach secondary sites of growth. Enzymes enable cancer cells to pass through the gaps created through the digestion of proteins and sugars in the space around cells Metastatic cancer cells produce large amounts of heparanase enzyme, which helps them to spread around the body. Inhibiting the heparanase is a major target for anti-cancer therapy. Researchers developed and tested a new sugar-like molecule that reacts with the enzyme heparanase. Once attached, the heparanase enzyme is unable to bind or cut heparin sulfate sugar chains around cells.  The tissue around the cells remains firm and inaccessible to dislodged cells. They already studied the new molecule in mouse models of lung cancer, breast cancer and blood cancer. The results are promising and the institutes involved have already applied for a patent on the molecule. Leiden chemist Hermen Overkleeft believes that this molecule deserves a chance to find out its effect in the human body:“Now we have to find out whether the compound is stable, safe for the human body, ends up in the right place in sufficient quantities, and so on. That takes a couple of years, it may come to nothing and someone has to be willing to take that financial risk…. Our molecule is one of the few agents that can inhibit heparanase tightly and specifically. Small, well-defined molecules like this one may be easier to develop into a clinical drug than the large, heterogeneous polysaccharides that have been tried up to now."   DeepMind found the structure of nearly every protein known to science | The Verge (22:22) Deepmind,  a subsidiary of Google parent Alphabet, announced this past Thursday (July 28th) they will be releasing a free expanded database with its predictions of the structure of nearly every protein known to science.over 200 million structures We've discussed DeepMind's AlphaFold AI system in past episodes, but in short, this system produces highly accurate predictions of the structures of proteins.This predicted information can help scientists understand how they work, which can help treat diseases and develop medications. Demis Hassabis, CEO of DeepMind, said during a press briefing:“You can think of it as covering the entire protein universe … We're at the beginning of a new era now in digital biology.” Protein structures from AlphaFold are already widely used by research teams around the world. Cited in research on things like a malaria vaccine candidate and honey bee health.  Having easy access to predicted protein structures gives scientists a boost in research efforts across the scientific landscape.Those trying to understand how complex processes work in the body or which molecules can be used to target things like pollution. We'll end it off with a statement from Eric Topol, founder and director of the Scripps Research Translational Institute:“With this new addition of structures illuminating nearly the entire protein universe, we can expect more biological mysteries to be solved each day.”

What happens when a 45 year old Muay Thai coach returns to the ring to compete for a Muay Thai veteran title, after 11 years out, and with 20kg to lose in 15 just weeks? …Huge lessons, and a big win! Rich Cadden, former 2x Muay Thai world champion, performance coach and chief instructor at his own gym, Chokdee Academy in York (UK), took on this mission and shares the lessons he learned from it. Rich's approach has always to be “obsessed” with his training, sacrificing his “party years” to take his fight career as far as he possibly could. As a coach, he realises others often don't have the same level of motivation he's always had. And that presented an opportunity to distil training down into the most effective elements and doses to achieve the greatest benefit. This was something he found to be vital during his preparation for his Muay Thai veteran title fight. He had to temper his obsessed nature, and strive for optimal instead of maximal or he would have failed to make the starting line, let alone cross the finish line as the winner. But what was found to be essential for a Muay Thai veteran also proves to be optimal for fighters of any age.

Compounds in leafy green vegetables could help prevent cognitive decline Rush University Medical Center, December 2, 2021.  Rush University Medical Center analyzed data from 960 participants between the ages of 58 and 99 years in the Rush Memory and Aging Project. Individuals whose intake of leafy green vegetables including spinach, kale/collards/greens, and lettuce, was among the top 20% of subjects at a median of 1.3 servings per day had a rate of cognitive decline over follow-up that was significantly slower than that of subjects' whose intake was among the lowest 20% at 0.1 servings per day. The authors compared the difference to that of someone 11 years younger. When individual nutrients contained in leafy vegetables were analyzed, having an intake among the top 20% of intake of phylloquinone (vitamin K1), lutein, folate, alpha-tocopherol (vitamin E), nitrate and kaempferol were each associated with slower cognitive decline in comparison with an intake that was among the lowest fifth. The authors concluded that “Consumption of approximately 1 serving per day of green leafy vegetables and foods rich in phylloquinone, lutein, nitrate, folate, alpha-tocopherol, and kaempferol may help to slow cognitive decline with aging.” (NEXT) Keto diet may not work for women University of California at Riverside, December 8, 2021 Scientists from UC Riverside are studying how the popular keto and intermittent fasting diets work on a molecular level, and whether both sexes benefit from them equally. The idea behind the keto diet is that low levels of carbohydrates and very high levels of fat and protein will force the body to use fat as fuel, resulting in weight loss. Legions of people swear by it, and innumerable companies produce foods designed for those people. Intermittent fasting operates on a similar principle, restricting eating to a small window of time during the day. During the hours without food, the body exhausts its stores of sugar and switches to burning fat. The fat gets converted to ketone bodies that the brain can use as fuel. (NEXT) Better exercise performance and increased intake of nutrients that support healthy inflammation linked to reduced inflammaging in older adults Collegium Medicum University of Zielona Gora (Poland), December 1 2021. Research reported in Nutrients revealed an association between decreased indicators of chronic inflammation and greater intake of nutrients that help maintain inflammation at a healthy level combined with better walking performance in an older population. The study included 60 men and women aged 65 and older. Dietary recall responses were evaluated to determine the intake of the anti-inflammatory vitamins A, C, D and E and beta-carotene, as well as fatty acids omega 3 (which has shown anti-inflammatory effects) and omega 6 (associated with inflammation when intake is high). Physical performance was evaluated using six-minute walk tests. Blood samples were analyzed for the inflammation markers serum C-reactive protein (CRP), interleukins 1beta, 6, 8 and 13, tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNFα) and circulating free DNA, and the anti-inflammatory cytokine interleukin 10. (NEXT) Microplastics found to be harmful to human cells, new study shows University of York (UK), December 8, 2021 High levels of ingested microplastics in the human body have the potential to have harmful effects, a new study reveals. This is the first-time scientists have attempted to quantify the effects of the levels of microplastics on human cells using a statistical analysis of the available published studies. “What we have found is that in toxicology tests, we are seeing reactions including cell death and allergic reactions as potential effects of ingesting or inhaling high levels of microplastics.” These studies focused on microplastic contamination of drinking water, seafood and table salt and revealed high levels of human exposure to microplastics from consuming these. (NEXT) A handful of nuts a day reduces major disease risk: Review Imperial College of London, December 5, 2021 Eating at least 20 grams of nuts a day could cut the chances of dying from respiratory disease by about a half and diabetes by nearly 40%, researchers say. The study, which establishes the benefits of nut consumption on cardiovascular conditions, also found convincing data of the food's effect on other diseases. “We found a consistent reduction in risk across many different diseases,” said study co-author Dr Dagfinn Aune from Imperial College London's school of public health. (NEXT) Pandemic worriers shown to have impaired general cognitive abilities McGill University (Quebec), December 5, 2021 A new study finds the pandemic may have also impaired people's cognitive abilities and altered risk perception, at a time when making the right health choices is critically important. Scientists at McGill University and The Neuro (Montreal Neurological Institute-Hospital) surveyed more than 1,500 Americans online from April to June, 2020. Participants were asked to rate their level of worry about the COVID-19 pandemic and complete a battery of psychological tests to measure their basic cognitive abilities like processing and maintaining information in mind.

In todays episode I have the wonderful pleasure to talk to Dr Antonina Mikocka-Walus. Dr Antonina Mikocka-Walus is a registered psychologist and Associate Professor in the School of Psychology at Deakin University in Melbourne. She completed her PhD in Psycho-gastroenterology at the University of Adelaide and has since worked at Monash University, University of South Australia, University of York (UK), and has been at Deakin University since 2016. Antonina is an active researcher, with over 100 research publications, largely on the brain-gut links, psychotherapy and antidepressant treatment in chronic gastrointestinal conditions. Her research has received funding from such organisations as the Wellcome Trust, Crohn’s and Colitis Foundation of America, and Crohn’s & Colitis Australia. Her research has informed the national and international guidelines on treatment of inflammatory bowel disease and has been translated into practice in Australia. Antonina is presently Associate Editor for Journal of Psychosomatic Research.​ We discussed a lot in todays episode. From research into the brain gut connection and IBD, How IBD effects Mental health to how Mental health effects IBD. We also discussed the benefits of antidepressants in IBD, and something some people might not know, Antonina’s own personal journey with IBD. A remarkable story. I am excited to say we also discussed her recent book titled ‘IBD and the Gut Brain Connection. A patient and carers guide to taming CD and UC’. It’s a great book, and I strongly recommend for anyone who has been diagnosed with IBD, or their carer, and even health professionals working in the field of Gastroenterology. I am confident you will find my talk with Dr Antonia Mikocka-Walus really valuable, please enjoy.

SFaPE EP#5 features a really great conversation with Yvette Pyke from 7 Hour Darkness Invasion. There is a lot to recommend about this episode but, we think that it delivers best if left to unfurl in it's own sweet time. It is worth taking time out to listen to Yvette and the track at the end of the show. Yvette has shared links to both the 7 Hour Darkness Invasion stuff and that of 7HDI's guitarist, Annie's band, Whether Balloons https://7hdi.bandcamp.com/ and https://7hdi-demos.bandcamp.com/ https://whetherballoons.bandcamp.com/ As mentioned at the start of the show, here is a link to Flotation Toy Warning ( http://www.flotationtoywarning.co.uk/ ) , the band in which Ben and I both play. Thanks for listening to the show and, please do like, share, subscribe and tell your friends! And if you have demo you like to share on an upcoming episode, we'd love to hear from you! Love and thanks Steve and Ben

"In the UK, 1 in 100 people have celiac disease, but only 30% are diagnosed. That means that there are a lot of people unknowingly living with this autoimmune disease, or they may be misdiagnosed with other conditions like IBS" Since her Coeliac diagnosis over 20 years ago Abby Foreman has turned her health around using nutrition and lifestyle approaches. Now a qualified Nutritional Therapist, Abby draws on her own experience and nutrition knowledge to guide her clients through their journey to optimal health. She runs her Nutrition clinic in York UK and holds online consultations, offering personalised nutrition advice for those suffering with chronic digestive complaints, Coeliac Disease and other autoimmune diseases. She believes everyone has the ability to take back control of their long-term health. You will find her on instagram @af_nutrition where she shares nutrition insights and coeliac friendly recipes.

Partiamo subito con un argomento ostico: la teoria delle stringhe! Ma non vi preoccupate, inizieremo dalle basi per poi raccontarvi di uno studio che la mette in discussione.Per approfondire: http://dx.doi.org/10.1103/PhysRevD.98.086004L’Italia è terra di fossili importanti, a volte anche di gruppi animali che forse siamo più abituati ad apprezzare per i loro rappresentanti viventi. È il caso del fossile di un suino proveniente dall’Umbria e recentemente descritto, che ha fornito informazioni significative sull’evoluzione dei maiali. Ce ne parla Marco Cherin dell’Università di Perugia, intervistato da Andrea Villa.Un nuovo studio pubblicato su “Royal Society Proceedings B” da un gruppo di psicologi dell’Università di York (UK) guidati da Rob Jenkins ha calcolato il numero di persone che riusciamo a ricordare, in media. Partiamo da questo studio per arrivare a disquisire di scelte, raccontandovi di uno studio condotto da Petter Johansson al Choice Blindness Lab dell’Università di Lund, in Svezia.Per approfondire:– http://www.lescienze.it/news/2018/10/10/news/ricordare_5000_volti-4148609/ [show] [show] [show] [show]– https://www.ted.com/talks/petter_johansson_do_you_really_know_why_you_do_what_you_do [show] [show] [show] [show]
