AIDS, Malaria, Cholera, Tuberculosis and Cystic Fibrosis: this book is about explaining what causes these diseases and what cures or treatments are available. As they represent different types of disease in each case; I believe someone reading this will gain the understanding of not only AIDS, malaria, cholera, TB and cystic fibrosis; but also many other diseases that have the same or similar basis. This book will particularly benefit students of biology and medicine; but is written in understandable language for non-students; who may just have an interest in these diseases. I hope that by ...

In this book I aim to give you a summary of the main aspects of viruses: their structure, uses, health impact and evolutionary origin. The main points are made in a clear and easily understood question and answer format. The book starts with a few interesting facts to whet your appetite and then explains the main scientific terms so you know them before you read the main aspects. We are all affected by viruses regarding our health alone, on top of this they are a fascinating area of biology to study. The HIV, swine flu and Ebola epidemics have only served to illustrate the impact that ...

Ever wondered why we reach for that next drink, pill, or puff—knowing the risk, craving the rush? High as a Kite – The Effects of Drugs is JD Arden’s unflinching, sharply witty guide through the strange logic of our own minds and the global culture of getting high. From the legal highs (coffee, cigarettes, alcohol) we barely question, to the forbidden substances lurking in the shadows, this book pulls no punches. Cutting through the myths and the moralizing, JD Arden explores what really happens to our brains on drugs, why we crave altered states, and who ends up paying the real price...

The concepts of ''Us'' and ''Them'' are deeply embedded in human thought, shaping our perceptions of identity, belonging, and alterity throughout human history. From geopolitical tensions to cultural misunderstandings, the dynamics of ''Us and Them'' resonate across different disciplines, offering a platform to examine the logic of this dichotomy. The HGGS Podcast Series “Us and Them” aims to provide a new platform for academic exchange and visibility, where guest professors and PhD students discuss topics from their academic work related to our overarching theme, “Us and Them."

Are we just digital code running in someone else’s supercomputer? This episode dives deep into the Simulation Hypothesis — a theory that challenges our understanding of reality.

Episode One In this first episode of a two-part series, we explore how misinformation can distort public understanding and reactions to critical health information. With social media serving as a breeding ground for these inaccuracies, it is important to develop robust media and data literacy skills to distinguish fact from fiction. Here we engage with leading experts who share evidence-based strategies for addressing health misinformation and discuss the crucial role of critical thinking and investigative research in fostering media literacy and empowering individuals and communities to ...

Episode Two With social media serving as a breeding ground for information inaccuracies, it is important to develop robust media and data literacy skills to distinguish fact from fiction. In this second episode of a two-part series, we continue to explore how misinformation can distort public understanding and reactions to critical health information and we pose essential questions: What are the key characteristics of misinformation and disinformation that we should be looking for? And, how can we empower our communities to distinguish fact from fiction? HostCaryn Bell, Associate Director,...

Send us a textIn this episode we continue our journey with oiled wildlife preparedness and response. In particular we look at the important role of Sea Alarm, a non-governmental organization founded 25 years ago to advance wildlife response preparedness. In 2005, OSRL and Sea Alarm joined forces to address the critical gaps in oiled wildlife response preparedness, particularly in relation to industry preparedness. Back then, major oil spills like Erika, Prestige, and Tricolor exposed much of the world’s lack of readiness to protect wildlife. Governments were often overwhelmed, and NGOs had ...

Aunque suene a ciencia ficción, las tecnologías cuánticas ya están transformando radicalmente la forma en que diagnosticamos, tratamos y prevenimos enfermedades. En este fascinante episodio hablaremos de sensores cuánticos capaces de detectar enfermedades como el cáncer o el Alzheimer antes de que se manifiesten, ordenadores cuánticos que podrían acelerar el desarrollo de fármacos, y sistemas de criptografía cuántica para proteger tus datos de salud con una seguridad sin precedentes. Acompáñanos en este viaje con el Dr. Miguel Ángel Martín-Delgado, Catedrático de Física ...

Schmerz warnt und schützt uns – doch wird er chronisch, verliert er seinen eigentlichen Zweck. Dann kommen Medikamente, Entspannungstechniken und medizintechnische Verfahren zum Einsatz, um Linderung zu verschaffen. Für Menschen mit besonders starken Schmerzen fehlt es jedoch bislang an wirksamen Mitteln ohne Suchtpotenzial. Dr. Rolf Hömke, Forschungssprecher des vfa, erklärt, warum die Entwicklung neuer Schmerzmedikamente so herausfordernd ist – und warum dennoch viele Unternehmen aktuell daran forschen. Erste Ergebnisse sind positiv. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more ...

Na…heute schon auf Instagram oder TikTok gescrollt oder gepostet? Vielleicht was gelikt – und dabei zufällig einen fiesen Kommentar entdeckt? Oder sogar selbst mal eine Hassnachricht bekommen? Das ist nicht nur persönlich unschön, sondern auch systemisch ein riesen Problem in quasi allen sozialen Netzwerken und Lebensbereichen. Auch im Sport. Wir sprechen drüber…über das Strukturelle, das Persönliche und alles dazwischen. Hate Speech im Sport ist mittlerweile ein Forschungsfeld… und das ist auch dringend nötig, sagt unser Gast Juniorprofessor Daniel Nölleke vom Institut für ...

In this episode of Doc Talks Fishing, we sit down with fisheries scientist Emily Yeung to uncover the incredible story of the Atlantic whitefish—a "living fossil" on the brink of extinction. These elusive fish have survived millions of years of evolution, yet today, they cling to existence in just a handful of Nova Scotian lakes. Emily breaks down why this species is so unique, what catastrophic threats have pushed them to the edge, and why their survival matters-not just for ecosystems, but for anglers and conservationists alike. Could hatcheries and captive breeding be their last hope? ...

Depuis la rentrée 2024, Ex-oeco explore le vivant en ville à travers des récits, des pratiques et des expériences de terrain. Ce dernier épisode propose une mise en perspective. Guidés par la voix de Philippe CLERGEAU, pionnier de l’écologie urbaine en France, nous tissons les fils du chemin parcouru pour interroger une idée centrale : et si nos villes, plutôt que des objets techniques figés, devenaient des milieux vivants, capables de cohabitation, d'adaptation et de régénération ?À travers ce récit en mouvement, les voix des précédent·es invité·es de la saison viennent ...

Welcome to the Huberman Lab podcast.I am Dr. Andrew Huberman. My plan in creating this podcast is to discuss neuroscience: how our brain and its connections with the organs of our body controls our perceptions, our behaviors, and our health. I will also discuss tools for measuring and changing how our nervous system works.Upcoming episodes will cover: sleep and how to get better at sleeping, learning, dreaming, as well as motivation and focus and how to access more focus. We will also cover neuroplasticity, fear, and stress.Along the way, I will discuss behavioral tools ("do's and don'ts"), ...

C'è chi si indispettisce, c'è chi si esalta e c'è invece chi si rende conto, come il giovane Heisenberg durante la sua tormentata convalescenza a Helgoland, che probabilmente il traguardo è proprio questo: smettere di ascoltare il mondo come lo si è ascoltato fino a quel momento e avventurarsi verso una forma di comprensione assolutamente nuova. Per quanto terrore possa, a tratti, ispirare. È la via che ha preferito Benjamín Labatut, ricostruendo alcune scene che hanno deciso la nascita della scienza moderna.
