Showing results for "Drive" in Science

In Cool, the neuroscientist and philosopher Steven Quartz and the political scientist Anette Asp bring together the latest findings in brain science, economics, and evolutionary biology to form a provocative theory of consumerism, revealing how the brain's "social calculator" and an instinct to rebel are the crucial missing links in understanding the motivations behind our spending habits.

There is a lot of interest these days in space exploration. After 50 years, we are looking at going back to the Moon to build a base and planning early for a manned trip to Mars. After that, further exploration and settlement of the Solar System will be on the table. One of the main limiting factors for all of this space exploration are the types of rockets and rocket engines available to get there.

In May 2018, NASA called a press conference to announce the successful test-run of their tiny nuclear reactor KRUSTY (Kilopower Reactor Using Stirling Technology). This revolutionary technology, which runs on heat alone, may have profound consequences for the future of mankind, enabling us to maintain permanent bases on the Moon, on Mars, and other planets, and eventually power a starship. On earth too it could have enormous benefits as a new way to generate power at a time when climate change is threatening our very existence.

The Drive Electric Alabama podcast plugs you in to everything you need to know about electric vehicles (EVs) in the state of Alabama. In the show, we feature industry leaders discussing the positive impact that EVs have here. Sponsored by Alabama Power’s “You’re in Charge™” EV incentive programs, the podcast is co-hosted by Cedric Daniels, the former Chief Strategy Officer at Streemline and former Electric Vehicle Marketing Manager at Alabama Power as well as Michael Staley, the President of the Alabama Clean Fuels Coalition.

In this podcast we are going to take on all those controversial topics. There will be arguing, lamenting and hopefully not cursing. Either way, Welcome to the Podcast.

🌱♻️💡Gastgeberin Rosalie will genau wissen, wie wir das mit der nachhaltigen Transformation eigentlich hinkriegen. Wie funktioniert nachhaltiges Produktdesign? Wo kann Politik was verändern? Welche technischen Innovationen sparen Ressourcen und Energie? Dazu interviewt sie verschiedenste Frauen aus Wirtschaft, Wissenschaft und Kultur, die alle nachhaltig Eindruck machen. Zu jedem Interview recherchiert sie außerdem eine Mode-Story, die so manches Geheimnis unseres Kleiderschranks lüftet und zeigt, was wir aus der Mode über Innovation lernen können. ---------- FRENCH 🥖🥐...

Everything you “know” about yourself today is based on who you decided you were when you were just four or five years old. In your childhood you formed decisions about yourself before you were even capable of thinking logically. Those decisions were based on a child’s emotional survival brain, and they are the foundation of the neural pathways of thought and feelings that are instrumental in forming your identity, both positive AND negative. This is why so many people have challenges in their adult lives, especially when it comes to their personal and professional relationships.

Did you know women walk more, eat less, socialize more, meet more men, dance more, and flirt more when they're ovulating? Or that PMS may have evolved to get rid of boyfriends with unfit sperm? Behind the "fickle" differences in what women find sexy about men, or what they like to wear, there's a hidden adaptive intelligence shaped over eons. Rather than making women irrational - as the conventional and irredeemably sexist wisdom goes - the female hormonal cycle has been exquisitely fine-tuned to give women the advantages they needed to succeed in our ancestral environments, and perhaps also today.

Hormones are chemicals secreted into the blood from glands, such as the pituitary and adrenal glands. They work as part of a complex network, referred to as the endocrine system. The endocrine and nervous systems work together to form the control systems of the body. A balanced hormonal system is able to correctly govern growth, sleep cycle, mood, immune system, metabolism, hunger, sexual arousal, and fertility, among other things. Hormones prepare your body for both immediate and long-term changes.
