Nya rön visar att arvet spelar större roll för hur länge vi lever än man tidigare trott. Men det betyder inte att vi kan luta oss tillbaka och lita till genetiken, som skiljer sig åt mellan individer. Det är minst lika viktigt som tidigare att äta hälsosamt, som att välja olivolja och rapsolja i stället för mättade fetter från komjölk och ister. Det menar Mai-Lis Hellénius, professor vid Karolinska institutet, som varnar för de nya kostråden från USA.

Brad Carlson and Jeff Vetsch talk about variable rate sensors on today's Advancing Nitrogen Smart Podcast episode. What is meant by the term 'active sensors' and what data do active sensors capture? Which specific brands of sensors have the Southern Research and Outreach Center (SROC) researched, and how did they perform? What stage does corn need to reach before sensors can best contribute to variable rate decision making? How do other field variables like soil texture or irrigation systems contribute (or not) to variable rate sensing? Join us today for part one of a two-part discussion on ...

¿Es el vino un aliado de la salud o un riesgo innecesario? Esta pregunta, tan antigua como el propio consumo de alcohol, sigue generando debate científico. En una de sus conferncias, Francisco Grande Covián explicaba que el alcohol aporta energía, pero carece de nutrientes esenciales, por lo que un consumo elevado puede favorecer la malnutrición. Además, ya advertía de la necesidad de interpretar con cautela los estudios que sugerían posibles beneficios cardiovasculares del vino. Ahora, Jorge Laborda revisa estas ideas a la luz de la ciencia actual. Aunque algunos trabajos apuntan a ...

Adventures in Sustainable Living PodcastEpisode 267The 30 Day Stop the Consumption Challenge Part TwoIn last week’s episode I laid the foundation of why and how we shifted to a consumer culture. Although this was a gradual shift, it was also highly planned and organized. The Industrial Revolution was only the beginning. For the first time in human history our societies were able to produce more than we needed to live day-to-day. Then the problem shifted from “Do I need this?” to “How do we sell all this stuff?” The challenge we now face is the constant extraction of materials and ...

Solar panels, batteries, microgrids, and other emerging energy technologies are making it easier than ever before for a community to produce some or all of its own power. Prof. David Hsu lays out the policies and technologies challenging the traditional, centralized model of the electric grid, including in places that lack reliable access to electricity. As the world strives to make energy cleaner, cheaper, and more accessible, what can local models offer that a big utility can’t—and the other way round?

Sometimes called the 'couch potatoes of the sea', nurse sharks are famous for their laid back attitude to life spending most of their days cosied up in piles, napping. But their gentle, docile nature doesn't make them any less special. In this episode, we sit down with SOSF project leader and PhD Researcher Sergio Madrigal Mora - who has spent a lot of time hanging out with the Labradors of the shark world - to discuss how nurse sharks are perfectly adapted to life in the tropics and why they form 'cuddle huddles' on the sea floor. And, we learn more about Sergio's research into the influence ...

What good is a fully stocked bug-out bag if your house burns down with it inside? A cache solves that problem. Supplies pre-positioned where you can reach them when your primary stores are gone, destroyed, or inaccessible — that's the insurance policy most preppers never build. This guide is adapted from TC 31-29, the U.S. Army Special Forces manual that has been the gold standard for military caching operations for decades. Bob Mayer didn't just study it — he trained on it and taught it in the Special Forces Qualification Course. That institutional knowledge is translated into plain ...

Bizarre News: March 2026 | Paranormal Podcast This month's Bizarre News had us kicking things off close to home — literally — with a wild Bigfoot flap happening right in our backyard in Northeast Ohio, plus a meteorite that was loud enough to rattle windows across multiple states and had one of us genuinely wondering if the neighbor's house exploded. From there we covered dozens of sheep vanishing without a single trace of bone or wool from remote Norwegian islands, leaving farmers, police, and us absolutely baffled about what — or who — could possibly be pulling this off. We also dove...
