Artificial intelligence is evolving at an unprecedented pace—what does that mean for the future of technology, venture capital, business, and even our understanding of ourselves? Award-winning journalist and writer Anil Ananthaswamy joins us for our latest episode to discuss his latest book Why Machines Learn: The Elegant Math Behind Modern AI . Anil helps us explore the journey and many breakthroughs that have propelled machine learning from simple perceptrons to the sophisticated algorithms shaping today’s AI revolution, powering GPT and other models. The discussion aims to demystify some of the underlying mathematical concepts that power modern machine learning, to help everyone grasp this technology impacting our lives–even if your last math class was in high school. Anil walks us through the power of scaling laws, the shift from training to inference optimization, and the debate among AI’s pioneers about the road to AGI—should we be concerned, or are we still missing key pieces of the puzzle? The conversation also delves into AI’s philosophical implications—could understanding how machines learn help us better understand ourselves? And what challenges remain before AI systems can truly operate with agency? If you enjoy this episode, please subscribe and leave us a review on your favorite podcast platform.

With more than 2,300+ natural compounds identified in New Zealand mānuka honey it has captured the attention of scientists and health professionals across the globe. Research has identified mānuka honey’s Unique Mānuka Factor (UMF™), a unique group of bioactive compounds, such as methylglyoxal (MGO) and leptosperin, which in synergy contribute to its science-supported antibacterial, antioxidant, and anti-inflammatory properties. Today, UMF™ quality rating system is the most comprehensive, independently certified and internationally recognized quality assurance system for New Zealand mānuka honey. It’s designed to validate mānuka honey potency, authenticity, purity, shelf life and freshness for honey producers, brands, customers and consumers around the world. Each mānuka honey product that carries the UMF™ trademark must pass the stringent Unique Mānuka Factor Honey Association (UMFHA) quality, grading and rating tests. UMFHA represents beekeepers, processors and marketers.

279: Food & Health Research: How to Understand & Interpret More Effectively – Milton Stokes 49:48

5 weeks ago49:48

49:48

The public continues to have a strong interest in food and health information, yet media sources vary in their credibility. Health professional communicators help shape public knowledge and attitudes by translating complex information while facing the challenge of processing large and often complex amounts of information in order to provide clear guidance to audiences with diverse literacy levels. This transmission of information influences public health outcome trends, scientific understanding, and information-sharing. The International Food Information Council has created a scientific communication guide with the goal of enhancing communicators’ ability to interpret scientific publications, ultimately helping the public make informed food and health choices. Tune into this episode to learn about: ● who consumers trust for food/nutrition advice ● the difference between misinformation, disinformation and malinformation ● what it is about the scientific process that makes communicating science challenging ● hierarchy of evidence ● different types of research studies and how those differences impact science communication ● 11 common fallacies in reasoning and thinking ● critically reviewing scientific studies ● communicating more effectively and communicating with context Full shownotes, transcript and resources: https://soundbitesrd.com/279…

276: Adolescent Health: Nutrient Needs, Research Gaps & Future Dietary Guidance 56:38

13 weeks ago56:38

56:38

It's well-established that nutrient adequacy in adolescence affects physical development and academic performance, as well as long-term health – yet research is woefully lacking for this life stage and dietary guidance lacks specificity for these unique needs. In fact, the 2020 Dietary Guidelines for Americans noted that the nutrient gaps among adolescents are so significant, that this “constellation of potential nutritional risk factors” is a public health challenge. To help address this gap, the National Cattlemen’s Beef Association, on behalf of the Beef Checkoff, partnered with Dr. Mario Ferruzzi and his team at the Arkansas Children’s Nutrition Center , one of 6 USDA national nutrition centers, to convene 50 leading nutrition scientists, physicians, registered dietitians, and public health experts. This podcast episode is a result of conversations with many of the esteemed experts who presented there. This podcast episode is sponsored by The National Cattlemen’s Beef Association (NCBA), a contractor to the Beef Checkoff. Full shownotes, transcript and resources at: https://soundbitesrd.com/276…

New health, nutrition and weight loss trends are popping up daily on social media. Many of these fly-by-night trends are simply that, but a new study focusing on the platform TikTok found that these trends may have more of a hold on people than once thought. To expose the inaccurate information being extracted from TikTok, MyFitnessPal, the #1 nutrition and food tracking app, partnered with Dublin City University on a two-part research project called “Health and Nutrition Inaccuracies on TikTok”. Part 1 looked at social media influencers and Part 2 looked at Gen Z TikTok users. Study findings ranged from determining that only about 2% of content being classified as accurate to Gen Z users trusting influencers more if they claim to be qualified dietitians. Tune in to this episode to learn about: · how and where Americans are getting their health information has changed · improving our digital literacy is necessary to make better choices · MyFitnessPal’s ‘Nutrition IQ’ surveys’ key themes and concerning statistics · the Dublin City University 2-part research study · why the study focused on TikTok vs other platforms · preliminary findings from the 2-part study · what the “2% accuracy” finding really means · the positive finding about Gen Z’s trust in registered dietitians over unqualified influencers · the importance of licensed professionals helping to champion scientific truth across social media · the mere exposure effect, parasocial effect, and rules of persuasion · how to identify warning signs when scrolling on social media · how RDNs can stay on top of trends and leverage them to create compelling content that is evidence-based · a helpful infographic on ‘How to Spot Questionable Nutrition Tips on Social Media’ · if it’s ‘safe’ to be on TikTok · resources for the public and health professionals Full shownotes, transcript and resources at: https://soundbitesrd.com/271…
