It’s crucial to learn how to focus your mind and stay motivated. In today’s mashup:
Andrew Huberman, Neuroscientist & Professor at Standford University, explains how to maintain our dopamine levels to focus our minds and stay motivated. Greg Mckeown, Best-selling Author & Business Strategist, breaks down the steps on how to achieve a focused mindset. Rich Diviney, Former Navy Seal Officer & Author, describes how to train our minds to stay motivated through anything. Dr. Joe Dispenza, Researcher & Best-selling Author, describes how to rewire our brains to maintain high levels of focus. Chadd Wright, Retired Navy Seal & Ultra Marathon Runner, explains how to find motivation through any adversity or challenge. Jordan Peterson, Clinical Psychologist & Best-selling Author, breaks down the simple keys to building confidence and staying motivated.
IN THIS EPISODE OF THE HUMAN UPGRADE™…you’ll learn how much control you can actually have over your brain. There’s a new way of accessing your meat operating system that adds an important element that’s been missing from the brain training conversation. Moha Bensofia joins the show to explain a new piece of neurotech called Mendi. He shares the benefits of getting more blood to the front of your brain. Mendi uses neurofeedback to provide visual feedback based on your brain activity.
A headset measures the activity while you play a fun brain-training mobile game. The system uses fNIRS technology to measure blood flow and oxygenation in the pre-frontal cortex of the brain. The brain training game requires focus and calmness, which increases activity and control of your brain’s pathways.
Dr. Jordan B. Peterson sits down in-person with researcher, professor, and author, Dr. Sarah Hill. They break down sex-based differences in regret, competition, and academia; the balance between life exposure and safeguarding when raising a child; the practice of “mate-choice copying” among women; and why our hormones are a foundational part not just of our physical makeup, but also of who we are and who we have the potential to become. Dr. Sarah E. Hill is a researcher and professor at TCU and author of “This is your brain on birth control: the surprising science of women, hormones, and the law of unintended consequences”. In addition to being at the forefront of research on women’s sexual psychology, Sarah is also a sought-after speaker, consultant, and media expert in the area of women’s hormones and sexual psychology.
Joyce Benenson is a lecturer of Human Evolutionary Biology at Harvard University who’s research focuses on human social structures and sex differences in competition and cooperation. We’re often told that men are more competitive, more status-driven and more ruthless with rivals for potential mates. In reality doesn’t seem to be true, the difference is that women’s competition takes a more subtle, cynical and sophisticated route to drive away their competitors. Expect to learn how women compete for status, why women exclude more than men, why women who promote an egalitarian world are less charitable than you might think, how you can interfere with a rivals’ relationship without getting caught, the usefulness of gossip as an enforcement mechanism and much more…

These three gene therapy stocks should get huge boosts over the long term from the use of gene editing techniques to treat diseases.
NASA is currently investigating the feasibility of a “cryobot” probe that would drill through the ice crusts of moons such as Europa and Enceladus to directly detect liquid water and discover the possibility of life beyond Earth.
Apart from Mars, scientists are focusing their efforts on two other candidates: Jupiter’s moon Europa and Saturn’s moon Enceladus.
Compelling evidence indicates the potential existence of subsurface oceans beneath thick layers of water ice on these icy moons.

This new Picture of the Month from the NASA/ESA/CSA James Webb Space Telescope reveals intricate details of the Herbig Haro object 797 (HH797). Herbig-Haro objects are luminous regions surrounding newborn stars (known as protostars), and are formed when stellar winds or jets of gas spewing from these newborn stars form shockwaves colliding with nearby gas and dust at high speeds.
HH 797, which dominates the lower half of this image, is located close to the young open star cluster IC348, which is located near the eastern edge of the Perseus dark cloud complex. The bright infrared objects in the upper portion of the image are thought to host two further protostars.
This image was captured with Webb’s Near-InfraRed Camera (NIRCam). Infrared imaging is powerful in studying newborn stars and their outflows, because the youngest stars are invariably still embedded within the gas and dust from which they are formed. The infrared emission of the star’s outflows penetrates the obscuring gas and dust, making Herbig-Haro objects ideal for observation with Webb’s sensitive infrared instruments.
FDA has authorized the Invitae Common Hereditary Cancers Panel, a blood test that detects inherited genetic changes that increase the risk of some cancers.
