How does the gut-brain connection work?

Gut feelings, trusting your gut, butterflies: We have lots of expressions about how our brains and our bowels are intertwined. But how well do we understand the science of this on the biomolecular level? And which of those organs is actually in the driver's seat? Flora churned through the details with gastroneurologists Emeran Mayer and Trischa Pasricha on stage at the 2026 Aspen Ideas Festival in Colorado. Guests: Dr. Emeran Mayer is distinguished research professor at the David Geffen School of Medicine at UCLA, and executive director of the G. Oppenheimer Center for Neurobiology of Stress and Resilience.

How Europe can compete on AI

Most of the world’s biggest AI firms are locked in a race to build “superintelligence”. But Mistral AI, a French frontier lab, is betting against this “winner-takes-all” competition.

Mistral’s boss outlines his plan—and why he thinks that, wherever you are, AI should be built and served closer to home. How does his vision stack up? Guests and hosts: - Arthur Mensch, CEO of Mistral AI - Alex Hern, The Economist’s AI writer - Alok Jha, The Economist’s science and technology editor Watch Alex’s full interview with Arthur Mensch on The Economist’s “Inside Tech”.

Beautiful botflies, luscious leeches, and the wonder of parasites

Dino Martins has plucked maggots out of a dead elephant, pulled botflies out of camel snot, and willingly let a horsefly feast on him. Why? Because he’s obsessed with parasites. Dino is an entomologist who grew up in rural Kenya, and he’s worked all over the world studying how insects keep this planet alive. And along the way, he met some of the world’s most iconic freeloaders, which he describes in his new book, “Hidden Creatures: Luscious Leeches, Bashful Botflies, and the Wondrous, History-Shaping World of Parasites.” Flora speaks with Dino about his unlikely journey into science, the beauty and disgust of parasites, and why these little moochers deserve more of our care. Read an excerpt from “Hidden Creatures: Luscious Leeches, Bashful Botflies, and the Wondrous, History-Shaping World of Parasites.” Guest: Dr. Dino Martins is an entomologist and evolutionary biologist based in Malindi, Kenya.

You 2.0: Change Your Story, Change Your Life

We all tell stories about ourselves, often without realizing we’re doing so. How we frame those stories can profoundly shape our lives. In our latest You 2.0 episode, we bring you a favorite conversation with psychologist Jonathan Adler. He shares how to tell our stories in ways that enhance our wellbeing. Then, Max Bazerman answers your questions about the science of negotiation. Do you have follow-up questions or ideas that you’d like to share after listening to our conversation with Jonathan Adler? How do you tell the story of your life, and how does that shape the way you see yourself? If you’re comfortable sharing your thoughts and questions with the Hidden Brain audience, please record a voice memo on your phone and email it to us at ideas@hiddenbrain.org. Use the subject line “personal stories.” Hidden Brain's "Perceptions" tour is continuing this fall!

Love 2.0: How to Fix Your Marriage, Part 2

When things go wrong in our relationships, we often try to change the way our partners behave. But usually, trying to fix a person only makes things worse. Last week, we talked to psychologist James Cordova about why this tendency can be so damaging, and what to do instead. This week, we explore another difficult but effective way to strengthen our relationships. Then, on Your Questions Answered, we bring back researcher Victor Strecher, who studies purpose. Vic spoke with us in June about the death of his daughter, and how it changed his own outlook on purpose. That conversation, which was called "You 2.0: What Is Your Life For?" had a powerful impact on many listeners. We'll hear Vic's responses to their thoughts and questions. What have you learned about changing your partner in the course of your relationship? Have you come up with ways to accept your partner's flaws? If you have questions or comments for James Cordova, and you'd be willing to share with the Hidden Brain audience, please record a short voice memo on your phone and email it to us at ideas@hiddenbrain.org. Use the subject line "acceptance." Thanks! The Hidden Brain tour is continuing, with our next stops just a few days away! Join us in Baltimore on October 11 or Washington, D.C. on October 12 to see Shankar live on stage. We'll also be in Los Angeles on November 22, and more dates in 2026 are coming soon.

Conversational Psychology (CONNECTING WITH OTHERS) with Nicholas Epley

Social anxiety icebreakers. Third spaces. Slumber parties with old friends. Helping out strangers. And why primates are wired to be better connected than we are now. Dr. Nicholas Epley – a distinguished Professor of Behavioral Science at the University of Chicago and the author of “A Little More Social” – explains how important social activity is for physical and mental health, why people are experiencing a friendship recession, how texting affects your hormones, how seeing other cultures can shape your life, the world’s friendliest cities, and the low expectations keeping us feeling lonely.

EP 161: Calcium Score vs CCTA: Rethinking Primary Prevention Screening

In this episode of Parallax, Dr Ankur Kalra is joined by Dr Matthew Budoff, Professor of Medicine at the David Geffen School of Medicine at UCLA and a leading authority on preventive cardiology and cardiac imaging. Together they examine the role of cardiac CT in detecting silent atherosclerosis, and ask whether imaging should displace traditional risk scores in routine practice. Dr Budoff makes the case for the coronary calcium score as the foundation of personalised cardiovascular care, arguing that population-based risk factors often fail at the individual level. He weighs the calcium score against CT angiography in primary prevention - covering cost, radiation, the uncertain significance of trivial plaque, and the risk of inappropriate stenting in asymptomatic patients - while noting that symptomatic patients warrant CCTA first-line. He also addresses elevated Lp(a) with a zero score and the case for CCTA in younger high-risk patients, before outlining his scalable, score-tiered approach to therapy, drawing on data from the VESALIUS trial. Is the calcium score ready to replace traditional risk scores? When should imaging guide therapy, and when should it be deferred? Questions and comments can be sent to "podcast@radcliffe-group.com" and may be answered by Ankur in the next episode. Host: @AnkurKalraMD and produced by: @RadcliffeCardio Parallax is Ranked in the Top 100 Health Science Podcasts (#48) by Million Podcasts.
