This is where we reach the bleeding edge of molecular chemistry.

Researchers like Eric Shelter and his team at the University of Pennsylvania are bypassing traditional thermodynamics altogether.

By using ligands, right?

Yes.

So one is the mayor of Chicago, a US ambassador to Japan.

One is a bioethicist, a professor at the University of Pennsylvania.

And so they, one of them says, "You had to get ready for dinner conversation at our house.

You either came ready or you got shut out." He'd also describe these meals as gladiatorial [laughs] in energy.

Today, we explore the hidden psychological forces that determine which path we take and why the stories we tell about ourselves can become self-fulfilling.

At the University of Pennsylvania, psychologist Martin Seligman has spent many years studying these questions.

Marty Seligman, welcome to Hidden Brain.

Thank you, Shankar.

All of us carry around a private explanation for why things happen.

When something goes wrong, we ask ourselves, was this just bad luck? Is it going to last? Does it say something about who I am? We usually don't notice ourselves asking these questions, but the answers can quietly shape the course of our lives.

Martin Seligman is a psychologist at the University of Pennsylvania who studies the science of human flourishing.

Marty, you told me about some personal encounters with hopelessness and helplessness that you had as a teenager.

he will be one of the first three books in my book series

Regular listeners may recall I cited Kirschenbaum's Textpocalypse Now talk from UPenn extensively in the OpenAI episode from Wake Forest earlier this season.

Kirschenbaum has recently published two essays building on that talk.

The first, which I was alluding to here, came out this summer in Social Research and is called The Writing Lesson Revisited, AI and the Scriptural Economy.

But now you are involved again.

so we now have to figure out who you are and what your background is fully and then we'll continue hawass a graduate from the university of pennsylvania has frequently restricted access to archaeological sites this is all supposedly to protect egypt's heritage from unqualified researchers and to preserve the integrity of official narratives about ancient Egyptian history, preserving and protecting.

We have seen this so many times.

They're not preserving or protecting these sites.

Thanks for listening, and let's get started.

hello and welcome to spondycast in today's episode of our psoriatic arthritis series we're going to explore the broader health impact of psa including cardiovascular disease metabolic syndrome uveitis gastrointestinal disease mental health fatigue sleep and inflammation across body systems i'm your host vince gagliardi and my guest today is dr alex agdi md msce she's professor of medicine epidemiology as well as the associate dean for clinical data science at the perelman school of medicine at the university of pennsylvania where she serves as deputy director of the Center for Clinical Epidemiology and Biostatistics and Director of the Penn Psoriatic Arthritis and Spondyloarthritis Program, an internationally recognized rheumatologist and researcher.

Dr. Agdi's work focuses on improving outcomes for people with psoriatic arthritis through earlier diagnosis, patient-centered care, and precision medicine.

Her research spans clinical trials, lifestyle interventions, and innovative strategies to identify PSA earlier and prevent disease progression, making her one of the leading experts advancing the future of psoriatic arthritis care.

Everybody can see everything in the same health system.

So that is something that I strongly recommend for my patients.

I'm fortunate to have really great collaborators at Penn where I can see patients, you know, I can send someone a GI or dermatology, and then we can communicate back and forth in the EHR.

In today's world, it's hard to get everybody on the same page if you're in different places.

Ultra runner says the majority of the DEI stories and academia focus on crazy far left professors.

But what about the silencing of the professors who are on, who are right of center? The brilliant unspoken, uh, Amy wax at Penn is the last conservative voice in the law school and paying a price for it.

Any persecution of conservatives in our Alabama academies is Any conservatives left to prosecute to persecute.

You know, that's a very good point.

It

was Tiffany's Cabaret and it was right near the University of Penn.

So

you got a washy washy? No, no.
