Miksi suurvallat kilpailevat arktisesta alueesta?

Maailman katse siirtyi pohjoiseen, kun Yhdysvallat kertoi havittelevansa Grönlantia itselleen. Arktisen alueen geopoliittinen merkitys on ollut jo pidempään kasvussa: se lämpenee muuta maailmaa nopeammin, ja jään alta vapautuu uusia merireittejä ja luonnonvaroja. Venäjä on panostanut Arktikseen 2000-luvun alusta saakka ja myös Kiina tavoittelee siellä vahvaa asemaa. Millainen alue Arktis on, ja miten ilmastonmuutos muuttaa sen olosuhteita ja merkitystä? Minkälainen voimatasapaino alueella vallitsee ja onko se muutoksessa? Löytyykö jännitteisessä ajassa sijaa yhteistyölle? Keskustelemassa ovat arktisen geopolitiikan ja turvallisuuden tutkimusprofessori Sanna Kopra ja Venäjän ympäristöpolitiikan professori Veli-Pekka Tynkkynen. Haastattelussa on myös ilmakehätieteiden yliopistotutkija Nina Sarnela, joka on osallistunut tutkimusmatkoihin Grönlannissa ja Huippuvuorilla. Juontajana on MTV Uutisten ulkomaantoimittaja Janne Hopsu. Podcast on nauhoitettu Tiedekulmassa Helsingin yliopiston ja MTV Uutisten järjestämässä tilaisuudessa 10.3.2026.

Why We Cry Out In Pain

Have you stubbed your toe and shouted an unrepeatable word? Isaac Newton and Robert Boyle were two of the greatest minds in humanity. Did their egos and competition with one another hold them back or drive them onto huge breakthroughs? Professor Hannah Fry and Michael Stevens explore the bizarre neurology of vocalised pain, revealing how a good yelp actually acts as a biological off-switch for suffering and unearth if Newton was the biggest crybaby in science. Plus, Hannah gives us a behind-the-scenes look at her brand-new series exploring the cutting edge of Artificial Intelligence. ------------------- For more information about Cancer Research UK, their research, breakthroughs and how you can support them, visit ⁠⁠⁠https://cancerresearchuk.org/restisscience⁠⁠⁠ Cancer Research UK is a registered charity in England and Wales (1089464), Scotland (SC041666), the Isle of Man (1103) and Jersey (247).

Exercise and brain function, hedgehog hearing, and can AI change our minds? – podcast

The Guardian’s science editor, Ian Sample, talks to Madeleine Finlay about three eye-catching science stories from the week, including a study that explores the link between exercise and brain health. Also on the agenda: the discovery that hedgehogs can hear high-frequency ultrasound and what this could mean for their conservation, and new research examining how biased AI autocomplete tools can influence the beliefs of users..

Mitä tiede tietää somesta ja brain rotista?

Algoritmi oppii tuntemaan ihmisen joskus paremmin kuin ihminen itse ja osaa houkutella uppoutumaan somen maailmaan pidemmäksi aikaa kuin mitä käyttäjä ehkä haluaisikaan. Mitä ihmisen aivoissa tapahtuu, kun selaamme somea? Onko somesta aivoille jotakin hyötyä? Aivotutkija, professori Minna Huotilainen pohtii, miksi on niin vaikeaa tutkia, aiheuttaako somen käyttö masennusta. Entä miten somesta väsyneitä aivoja kannattaa hoitaa? Utelias mieli on Helsingin yliopiston podcast, joka puhuu tieteestä tunteella.

Yuck! The Science of Disgust

Disgust is a strong emotion, one designed by evolution to protect us from danger and diseases. But disgust also spills into other areas of our lives, influencing our morals, our intuitions about right and wrong, even our politics. We talk with psychologist David Pizarro about how disgust is used to persuade and divide us, and why it remains such a potent force in public life today. Then, in our latest installment of “Your Questions Answered,” Huggy Rao returns to respond to listeners’ thoughts and questions about why big ideas fail. There's still time to join Shankar at one of our upcoming stops on Hidden Brain's live tour! Join us in Philadelphia on March 21 or New York City on March 25. And stay tuned for more tour dates to be announced soon! Illustration by Alvaro Montoro for Unsplash Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

346 | Erica Cartmill on How Human and Animal Minds Think and Play

Intelligence is a many splendored thing, especially when it comes to comparisons between species. Chimpanzees are better than humans at some numerical tasks, but less good at understanding what numbers actually mean. One window on the ways that species differ is how they play amongst themselves. I talk with anthropologist and cognitive scientist Erica Cartmill about modes of play and other social behaviors among various species, and what they reveal about the ways we all think.

Sad Nipple Syndrome: A Booby Baffler

People are reporting a very strange phenomenon: They say that when their nipples get touched, they feel this weird sinking feeling. People describe it like being homesick, or hung over. Some feel anguish and despair, others call it dread. The condition has a name: "Sad Nipple Syndrome." But how could just touching a nipple set off all of these feelings?? To get to the bottom of this booby baffler, we go deep into the mysteries of anatomy and through a world of hormones and nipple erections. You might never look at your nipples the same way again! Distinguished Professor Barry Komisurak and Lactation Specialist Alia Macrina Heise join us. Find our transcript here: https://bit.ly/ScienceVsSadNippleSyndrome In this episode, we cover: (00:00) Meet Sad Nipple Syndrome (05:14) Why is Nipple Play Arousing?
