Can we explain how life emerged and gained cognition through explaining cell origins and evolution? We may be farther off than we currently think. Press play to learn: How we are thought to be cognitive while our cells are not Natural selection's place in the design theory Where the "life" resides in a cell David Galloway, an Honorary Professor of Surgery at the University of Glasgow, shares his research on the complexities of life and the possibility of design rather than happenstance. The origin of life and our ability to think in the abstract has long been debated. While there have been countless theories over the course of history, two of the primary contenders are random chance and grand design. Natural selection and evolution are generally thought to be the two significant players in the development of life over eons, but there may be a grand cognition that designed this process. By examining common threads that run through almost every aspect of life, we may be able to begin to approach an understanding of the larger plan. Visit https://davidgalloway.co.uk to learn more.

Can public access to genome sequencing help mitigate overall risk in the future of medicine? With broader availability, new services can help propel testing to new heights. Listen in to learn: Why someone may choose to test their genome sequencing Possible roadblocks in utilizing genetic testing The timeline in the future for Merogenomics Inc. Dr. Mikolaj Raszek, founder and managing director of Merogenomics Inc., shares his work to bring public access to genetic testing. Many folks are familiar with the genetic testing available to the public today, like those designed to examine ancestry and basic medical information. However, if more in-depth testing can be made available to the public, much more beneficial and meaningful data can be disseminated, mitigating significant risks to the patient. If we can examine the genome of any one, we can determine the likelihood of thousands of conditions they may develop in the future. With this knowledge, they can choose to take risk-mitigating action much earlier, hopefully nipping the problem in the bud. Visit https://merogenomics.ca to learn more.

Can gravity really affect climate change to a noticeable degree? While it may not be widely known, gravity changes over time and has a wide range of implications. Listen up to learn: The purpose of the GRACE mission How ice shelves are affected by gravitational changes What projections for the future hold Carmen Boening, a Scientist at the Jet Propulsion Laboratory in Pasadena, CA, shares her work with an experiment to determine gravity's effect on the global climate. While the climate crisis has had the spotlight recently, other factors may contribute to climate change that go under the radar. Specifically, gravitational fluctuation has more of an effect than you may think. To do this, viewing tidal patterns on a large scale can give insight into how the gravitational fields change. By observing these changes, we can form projections on how the sea level may change to the tenth of a millimeter. Visit https://science.jpl.nasa.gov/people/boening/ to learn more.

Why has history been filled with religious conflict? Even though some beliefs may appear similar, this can actually lead to more hostility than completely opposing views. Listen in to learn: Why similar religions often conflict The role religious conflict has played in global development What to consider when viewing religion from the outside Robert Eisen, a Professor of Religion and Judaic Studies, shares his views on global relationships and the relationships and conflicts caused over a complex history. Though many religions hold parables of peace and tranquility, they have been the root causes of fighting and conflict throughout history. Despite this, there is still much to be learned and gained when attempting to gain the knowledge they offer. Since many practitioners and followers of religions have been persecuted throughout the centuries, many religions have become accustomed to strife. While this has made some cultures incredibly hearty, it has also caused lasting issues. Visit https://religion.columbian.gwu.edu/robert-eisen to learn more.

What happens when a glacier dies? While it may occur over the course of decades, it can have devastating effects on the environment. Press play to learn: Why it is essential to consider the origin of an iceberg The regions that depend on glaciers to avoid drought The best lever we have to control climate change Ben Marzeion, Professor at the Institute of Geography and MARUM, shares his work as an oceanographer offering insight into glaciers and how climate change impacts them. It can be challenging to notice glaciers' status or health since their lifespan and changes can take decades or even centuries to observe. However, that does not mean that climate change has taken its toll. Since many regions worldwide depend on glaciers and ice sheets to regulate climate and provide sufficient water, the slow melting process may be the beginning of the end. One of the most significant threats caused by this is the quickening speed of ice sliding into the ocean, causing the sea-level rise and the potential shrinking of Antarctica.

Can polar ice sheets be used as an indicator for climate health? By monitoring shifts and melting, metrics of change can be recorded to aid researchers. Press play to learn: How the sheets shift and change over time What lies below the ice in the poles What can generally be seen as the seasons change each year Dr. Xavier Fettweis, a Research Associate - Chercheur qualifié (FNRS), shares his current research on the formation and movement of ice sheets, mainly in Greenland and Antarctica. The ice caps and sheets melting have been used as rhetoric for many angles of the climate change debate for decades, but the reality of the situation can be surprising. By measuring the ice sheets over time, we can track trends and other environmental factors worldwide through only a few points of contact. What we see with the melting and shifts of ice sheets can be intimidating when looking to the future.

But it wasn't until he chose to break away from his formal training and look at therapy with a fresh and intuitive standpoint—one that is a matter of engagement between therapist and patient—that he even started understanding the ideas that form the basis of his book.
