First up on the podcast, producer Kevin McLean talks with staff writer Jennie Erin Smith about a new old idea for Alzheimer’s disease. They discuss how the cholinergic hypothesis originally came about, how it fell out of fashion, and why it’s making a comeback now. Next on the show, the United States can make more power as demand goes up, but moving that increased amount of electricity around the country is proving problematic. Madeline Yozwiak, a postdoctoral scholar in the Engineering and Public Policy Department at Carnegie Mellon University, joins host Sarah Crespi to discuss her Policy Forum article on the barriers to scaling up the country’s electric grid and some potential solutions.
Scientists at the Curtin University node at the International Center for Radio Astronomy Research (ICRAR) have linked mysterious radio pulses to an unusual pairing of stars—a dead star that spins every eight minutes and a star similar to our own sun.

As the nuclear renaissance comes into focus in the U.S., the sector’s true bottleneck might not be advanced reactors, but its lack of heavy-lifting project developers. These are the companies who secure and permit sites, navigate the interconnection queue, line up offtakers, and assemble a team of both savvy EPCs and experienced plant operators. In this episode of Catalyst, Shayle Kann sits down with David Faherty, co-founder of Elementl Power, to walk through the soup-to-nuts playbook for delivering new nuclear projects in the United States. David explains everything from how his team approaches greenfield site screening, why early-stage development capital remains the hardest money to rais

Nostalgia is a bittersweet emotion, but psychologists’ research suggests that most of the time, it’s good for us – it can strengthen our relationships and give our lives meaning and continuity. Tim Wildschut, PhD, of the University of Southampton, discusses how researchers define nostalgia; why loneliness, a bad mood and even a cold day can trigger it; when it can have downsides; and how technology is changing the way we look back at the past.
