Summary

Everyone is bound to make a typo in an email. What’s interesting though is the reader will often see that typo and alter the way they interpret your message – sometimes in a good way, sometimes in a bad way. Listen to discover how this works. https://www.businessinsider.com/typos-in-emails-2015-5 The science of weather forecasting has come a long way in the last few decades. Interestingly, forecasters are not only improving their accuracy but also how they communicate the information to you and me. With more and more extreme weather (hurricanes, floods, tornadoes, high winds/fires etc.), this becomes more important for everyone. Here to explain how and why is Thomas Weber, former executive editor of TIME who has taught journalism and publishing at Columbia University, New York University and Princeton. He is author of the book Cloud Warriors: Deadly Storms, Climate Chaos―and the Pioneers Creating a Revolution in Weather Forecasting (https://amzn.to/4edBLsY). While we are all human, there are interesting differences between us. Some of those differences, such as height, weight, skin color, even the size of your spleen, are dictated by where you live and where your ancestors came from. Listen as I discuss these amazing ways the human body adapts to its environment with Herman Pontzer. He is a professor of evolutionary anthropology and global health at Duke University whose work has been reported in the New York Times, the BBC, The Washington Post, The Atlantic, and Scientific American. He is author of the book Adaptable: How Your Unique Body Really Works and Why Our Biology Unites Us (https://amzn.to/4nucZsX). If you are keeping a secret right now (even if it is a good secret), it could be a bigger burden on you than you imagine. Listen as I explain why and offer a suggestion on what to do with that secret. https://now.tufts.edu/2012/06/12/how-burdensome-are-secrets Learn more about your ad choices.
