The things we eat and drink on a daily basis can impact our health in big ways. Too many carbohydrates, for instance, can lead to insulin resistance, which is a major contributor to cardiovascular disease and Type 2 Diabetes. But what are carbs, exactly? And what do they do to our bodies? Richard J. Wood explains.

Challenges of the Recovery Sector

source: The RSA 2016年1月12日
This event brought together a panel of experts, from treatment providers to recovery champions to researchers, to discuss how to meet the challenges currently facing the recovery sector.
Drug and alcohol misuse damages individuals, families and communities and places a heavy burden on public services. Last year, over 300,000 people in England entered treatment for drug or alcohol misuse, a condition which will often exacerbate existing mental health and social difficulties. Health services face significant challenges with looming budget cuts and pressure to demonstrate outcomes.
How can we best respond to this critical financial situation? Might it be time to radically rethink our notion of 'treatment'? And how can we co-produce more creative, holistic and sustainable approaches to recovery?

Alyssa Goodman: "Open Source on a Universal Scale: WorldWide Telescope" ...

source: Talks at Google 2016年1月7日
Astronomy data has no economic value, which makes it tremendously valuable in testing models of information sharing. Astronomy data is also intrinsically beautiful, mystifying, and important, which inspires us to want to learn more about our Universe.
The WorldWide Telescope is an immersive visualization environment that allows users access to the world’s store of online astronomical data. It can be used to answer questions about the Universe ranging from “where is Pluto and why isn’t a ‘planet’ anymore?” to “what is the true nature of the structure of the Milky Way?” to “does the Illustris simulation output resemble observed large-scale structure in the distribution of luminous galaxies?”
In 2015, Microsoft Research open-sourced WorldWide Telescope onto GitHub after investing roughly $10M in its development over the previous 8 years. WWT code already runs on desktops, on the web, and in planetariums, and the user-base is in the tens of millions. Dr. Goodman will describe how WWT came to be, what the roles of researchers, educators and academics have been in creating it, and how anyone with an interest in the Universe can now contribute to the WWT effort.
