Why do we spend a third of our lives unconscious — snoring, drooling, and totally useless to predators — and still survive as a species? (Evolution, seriously, what were you thinking?)In this episode, Roxie dives into the fascinating biology of sleep — what it does for our brains, our bodies, and our sanity. You’ll learn how sleep repairs tissues, clears toxins, strengthens memory, balances mood, and even keeps your immune system in check.This episode connects beautifully with last episode  topic

In this episode, Dr. Juan Carlos Rey of Crowscupboard.com invites listeners into a meditation on memory - no longer a candle passed from mind to mind, but a circuitry of data and desire. Drawing on the sociologist Maurice Halbwachs (1877–1945), Dr. Rey examines how collective memory has migrated from the oral to the algorithmic, shaping what humanity remembers - and what it forgets.From the neural encoding of emotion to the digital contagion of belief, this conversation explores why misinformation

An in-depth look at how a one-dimensional array of Yb-171 nuclear-spin qubits enables scalable quantum networking. We explore direct generation of photons at 1389 nm (telecom band) to achieve high entanglement fidelity (~0.95) without frequency conversion, and how spatial multiplexing across multiple atom–fiber channels yields parallel entanglement generation. We also cover mid-circuit networking with a shielding technique that protects memory qubits during communication, tying together fast,...

We pull back the curtain on how Haiku doesn’t simply “count” characters but builds a multi‑dimensional geometry: a curved count map (feature manifold) in high‑dimensional space, boundary heads that twist to align with the line width, and orthogonal representations that turn the fit decision into a simple linear separation. We also examine a surprising vulnerability—how a couple of at signs in prompts can hijack the counting rule—showing how perceptual these internal mechanisms are. Sponsored ...

We untangle Lombard’s paradox, biarticular hamstrings, and the brutal reality of eccentric braking during sprinting. Explore how human evolution favors endurance running at the cost of peak power, why modern sedentary life tightens the nervous system’s “short length” guard, and how eccentric training—like Nordic curls—can remodel muscle by adding sarcomeres in series. Learn why real resilience takes weeks to months of steady work, and get practical tips to prevent hamstring injuries. Note: Th...

Joel Mokyr, Philippe Aghion and Peter Howitt have been awarded this year’s Nobel Memorial Prize in Economic Sciences.The three are sharing 11 million Swedish kronor, over a million dollars, after being recognised for their work in the area of “innovation-driven economic growth”. But why does this area matter and what did the three economists actually do? We turn the tables on our presenter Tim Harford, to explain all.If you’ve seen a number in the news you think we should take a look at, let us

November 2025: Contributing Editor Jesse Hinckley interviews Rebecca-Lee Kuhnert on a study of 84 randomly allocated Australian schools, of whom 53 provided data (n ¼ 10,660 students aged 7-19 years), to receive either immediate mental health screening with caregiver feedback or no screening.

I caught up with SWR colleagues Delaney Sheridan and Dr Peter Stanbury to talk about the Sustainable Viticulture Protocol (SVP), a framework designed to help growers demonstrate sustainable practices in the vineyard. The SVP supports the transition from intensive chemical use toward regenerative practices, while accounting for the different conditions across regions.Recently, SWR partnered with Waitrose to host a visit to Leckford Farms for SWR members. From data to financing, Delaney and Peter

Memory can often feel like a mysterious, unknowable phenomenon. Something that happens magically by itself at times, with great effort at others, and sometimes deceives us by abandoning us suddenly when we need it most! We’ve worked on unpacking various aspects of memory over the last couple weeks - with Jane Ginsborg two episodes here and why pianists can have more difficulty than other musicians here. And today, we’ll be looking at the pros and cons of the two different types of memory that...

He was only seven years old when he told his mom about the girl with the black eyes and torn white dress floating by the fence. He called her Camila. Weeks later, his grandmother found an article in the library archive: a young girl named Camila had been abducted, S-A’d, and murdered near that very school decades ago. The boy later confirms the girl’s photo—without being prompted. This is one of the most disturbing and credible child-spirit encounters ever told. And it ends with one terrifying

Immaginate di vestire i panni di un potenziale eroe, più precisamente di un cosmonauta che sta per partire per una missione segreta nello spazio. Se la vostra missione andrà a buon fine, il vostro nome sarà scritto sui libri di storia e chissà, magari sarà anche abbinato ad una tappa importante per l’evoluzione dell’umanità. Siete preparati al meglio, avete studiato per anni, e siete pronti per affrontare l'ignoto. E così, la vostra missione ha inizio. Ma improvvisamente, durante la missione stessa,

Dr Kamar Ameen-Ali narrates her blog written for Dementia Researcher.In this blog, Kam reflects on her recent academic sabbatical and what it taught her about the shifting demands of university life. She explores how increasing administrative and teaching duties have transformed the traditional idea of a sabbatical from a period of rest into a vital opportunity to rescue research time. Kamar shares what she achieved, what she learned about productivity and burnout, and how the

This is a Grave Talks CLASSIC EPISODE! When Hunter and Jenny Scott bought their dream home in Rockford, Alabama, they thought they were starting a new chapter — until the house started writing one of its own. Shadow figures emerged from dark corners, unseen forces lashed out, and a violent history began to reveal itself piece by chilling piece. This wasn’t just another haunting — it was personal. As paranormal activity escalated, even Harper Lee, author of To Kill a Mockingbird, became intrigued
