    UnDisciplined: What do medical blind spots mean for our health?

    When strong beliefs, sometimes century-long beliefs, are disputed, people tend to double down. And this is true for many people–from cult members, to respected researchers. And Dr. Marty Makary suggests that it’s notably present in medicine, and in the way we tend to groupthink.

    UnDisciplined: Have greenhouse gas emissions peaked? Does that mean we’re going to be OK?

    It was not so long ago that there seemed to be no end in sight for the continual rise of greenhouse gas emissions across the globe. But now it seems possible, even likely, that we may have reached the point in which the emissions responsible for climate change are actually starting to fall.

    UnDisciplined: What is the predatory impact of wolves in Yellowstone?

    Wolves were once naturally abundant in Yellowstone national park, but starting in the 1870s they fell prey to humans who hunted them until their numbers were non-existent. And this was all to protect the “big game species,” like bison and elk. But the perceived “threat” that wolves were to these species wasn’t really correct, due to their very physiology. And Dan Macnulty suggests that we need to reconsider how we handle wolves in and around the park.

    UnDisciplined: What can we learn from how farmers adjusted to ancient climate cycles?

    One of the things that is often missed when we talk about climate change and agriculture is that climate shifts have always impacted where we can plant and what we can grow. And one of the best ways to really see this is to track how corn production has moved across North America for thousands of years.Andrew Gillreath-Brown’s work was funded by https://app.openskope.org/, a project which aims to provide paleoclimate data in an easy format for the public.

    UnDisciplined: Where did climate denial come from? (Part 2)

    For decades the basic principles of climate science were not at all controversial. To understand what changed we have to go back into the past. That’s what David Lipsky does in his latest book, The Parrot and the Igloo. (Part 2 of 2)
