  • #172- Dr. Glen Jeffery - The Impact of Light on Human Health.

    Glen Jeffery is a Professor of Neuroscience at University College London’s Institute of Ophthalmology, known for pioneering research on light’s effects on the retina, mitochondria, and human health.

     

     summary

     

    Welcoming back Dr. Glen Jeffery to explain how light affects physiology, including mitochondrial energy production, blood-sugar regulation, and vision. Glen discusses practical lighting compromises, cautions against treating blue or red light as simply good or bad, and explains why questions about skin pigmentation and diabetes require more research. Glen and Ryan discuss how reflected light, building materials, greenery, and shadows may shape indoor environments and health. Glen also recounts experiments using bees to study light and glucose, then offers practical thoughts on getting outdoors and using incandescent light, while emphasizing the value of interdisciplinary research and public science communication.

     takeaways

     

    “It's a, you in control of your breathing or is your breathing controlling you?”

    “If you're trying to push your limits, you better have control of your breathing and particularly your breathing rate”

    “the tongue wants to be in the roof of the mouth and that airflow going backwards.”

    “If you can control the speed of your breathing, you're in control of it rather than it controlling you.”

    “Where you place that rib cage, your body organises itself above and below it.”

    “You're not trying to teach your body to do something odd by asking it to use your diaphragm to breathe.”

    “make the mouth like a nose.”

    “just one number in isolation is just a little bit limited.”

    “use the right tool for what you're trying to do.”

    “We have to find ways to believe in ourselves.”

  • #165 Federico Faggin Part 2 - Science, Quantum Physics, and the Nature of Reality

    Part 2 - Federico Faggin is one of the greatest luminaries of high technology alive today. A physicist by education, he is the inventor of the microprocessor and the MOS silicon gate technology, both of which underlie the modern world's entire information technology. With the knowledge and experience of a lifetime in cutting-edge fields, Federico now turns his attention to consciousness and the nature of reality, sharing with us his profound insights on the classical and quantum worlds, artificial intelligence, life and the human mind. In this book, he elaborates on an idealist model of reality, produced after years of careful thought and direct experience, according to which nature's most fundamental level is that of consciousness as a quantum phenomenon, while the classical physical world consists merely of evocative symbols of a deeper reality.

     

     

     

     summary

     

    In Part 2, Federico Faggin shares his profound insights on consciousness, the nature of reality, and the purpose of life, blending scientific and spiritual perspectives to explore free will, suffering, and the interconnectedness of all things.

  • #163 - Daniela Schiller -The neural basis of emotion and social cognition. Neuroscience & Psychiatry

    Daniela Schiller is professor of neuroscience and psychiatry at the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai, where she directs the Laboratory of Affective Neuroscience. Her research focuses on how the brain represents and modifies emotional memories. Her lab has delineated the neural computations of threat learning, how the brain modifies emotional memories using imagination, and the dynamic tracking of affective states and social relationships.

    Schiller earned her Ph.D. at Tel Aviv University, where she developed a laboratory model for negative symptoms of schizophrenia. She then completed a postdoctoral fellowship at New York University, where she examined methods for emotional memory modification in the human brain. She joined Mount Sinai in 2010.

    Schiller’s work has been published in numerous scholarly journals, including Nature, Neuron, Nature Neuroscience and the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences. She is a Fulbright Fellow and a Kavli Frontiers of Science Fellow, and she has received many awards, including the New York Academy of Sciences’ Blavatnik Award and the Klingenstein-Simons Fellowship Award in the Neurosciences.

     

     

    Daniela Schiller, a neuroscience and psychiatry professor, shares insights on affective neuroscience, memory, trauma, and the interconnectedness of body and mind. This episode explores how our emotional states influence memory, the malleability of memories, and innovative approaches to healing trauma.
