Microbes in the House – AMNH SciCafe

Americans spend an estimated 92% of their time indoors, yet we know little about the diversity of microbes that exist in the built environment. This collection of microbes is influenced by where we live, whom we live with, and what we do, but it also can have an effect on us and our health. In this SciCafe, geneticist Jack Gilbert presents the most exciting and recent discoveries from this invisible world.#microbes #microbiome #AMNH #SciCafeThis SciCafe took place at the Museum on December 2, 2015.

The Matilda White Riley Lecture: Social Isolation and Health

Speaker – Cacioppo, John T., National Institutes of Health (U.S.) Social species, by definition, form organizations that extend beyond the individual. These structures evolved hand in hand with behavioral, neural, hormonal, cellular, and genetic mechanisms to support them because the consequent social behaviors helped these organisms survive, reproduce, and care for offspring sufficiently long that they too reproduced, thereby ensuring their genetic legacy.Social isolation represents a lens through which to investigate these behavioral, neural, hormonal, cellular, and genetic mechanisms. Evidence from human and nonhuman animal studies indicates that isolation heightens sensitivity to social threats (predator evasion) and motivates the renewal of social connections. The effects of perceived isolation in humans share much in common with the effects of experimental manipulations of isolation in nonhuman social species: increased tonic sympathetic tonus and HPA activation, and decreased inflammatory control, immunity, sleep salubrity, and expression of genes regulating glucocorticoid responses. Together, these effects contribute to higher rates of morbidity and mortality in older adults.

The Perilous State of the University: Jonathan Haidt & Jordan B Peterson

I recently traveled to New York University to talk with Dr. Jonathan Haidt about, among other things, disgust, purity, fear and belief; the perilous state of the modern university; and his work with Heterodox Academy (https://heterodoxacademy.org/) an organization designed to draw attention to the lack of diversity of political belief in the humanities and the social sciences.Dr. Haidt is Professor of Ethical Leadership at New York University’s Stern School of Business and a social psychologist. He studies the psychology of morality and the moral emotions. He has been described as a top global thinker by both Foreign Policy and Prospect magazines.

Hoe versla je stress ? | VERDRIET

In een tijd waar 1 miljoen Nederlanders jaarlijks het risico lopen op een burnout of andere stressgerelateerde ziekte, is een een beetje hulp bij het omgaan met stress niet verkeerd. Onze redder in nood: prof. dr. Ad Vingerhoets (Tilburg University) vertelt je wat je kunt doen om je stress te beperken.Dit is een college in samenwerking met de Nationale Wetenschapsagenda (NWA). De NWA is een verzameling van zo’n 12.000 prikkelende vragen die door het Nederlandse publiek gesteld zijn over zo’n beetje ALLES en waarmee wetenschappers aan de slag zijn gegaan. Vragen van “Hoe zwaar is licht?” tot “Hoeveel mensen kan de wereld aan?”: alles komt voorbij. Meer weten over het onderwerp waar Ad Vingerhoets het over heeft?

The Science of Stress: From Psychology to Physiology

What goes on in our bodies and minds to cause stress? Watch the Q&A here: https://youtu.be/UYUiX7SqWn0 Subscribe for regular science videos: http://bit.ly/RiSubscRibeStress is our natural reaction to physical or emotional pressure, encompassing everything from too much work to being tortured. But how does stress affect our memory, mood and thinking? And what effect does stress have on our overall health? Vincent Walsh and a panel of experts investigate.Vincent Walsh is a neuroscientist at University College London interested in finding out how the brain works. He is particularly fascinated by the the things we take for granted, like dealing with stressful situations.Joe Herbert is interested in the role of the brain in adaptive responses, with particular reference to the reciprocal interaction between hormones and the brain. He is a Professor at the Department of Clinical Neurosciences at the University of Cambridge.Shane O’Mara is Professor of Experimental Brain Research in Trinity College Dublin. His research focuses on the relations between cognition, synaptic plasticity and behaviour, in the context of brain aging and depression.Julie Turner-Cobb is Professor of Psychology at Bournemouth University. She researches the effects of psychosocial factors, particularly stress, coping and social support, on endocrine functioning across a range of acute and chronic health conditions in adults and children.The Ri is on Twitter: http://twitter.com/ri_science and Facebook: http://www.facebook.com/royalinstitution and Tumblr: http://ri-science.tumblr.com/ Our editorial policy: http://www.rigb.org/home/editorial-policy Subscribe for the latest science videos: http://bit.ly/RiNewsletter
