Critically Speaking with Therese Markow

SpaceX filed to launch a million satellites. Four companies immediately filed for tens of thousands each. But 2 million satellites cannot coexist safely in orbit. 🔗 https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/critically-speaking/id1463016517 #spacedebris #satellites

How about acknowledging the role of the “Manosphere” in this? wapo.st/4iDXXAa

SpaceX debris has landed on farms in Saskatchewan, North Carolina, and Colorado. SpaceX has never publicly acknowledged the Saskatchewan incident. There's no mechanism to make SpaceX answer for any of it. https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/critically-speaking/id1463016517 #SpaceX #spacedebris

Unbelievable 🤦‍♀️Frightening www.thenation.com/article/soci...

SpaceX wants to launch a million more satellites. Four other companies immediately filed to do the same. Dr. Samantha Lawler says there is no way to do this safely. https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/critically-speaking/id1463016517 #satellites #spacedebris

The trad wife influencer has her own income, her own childcare, and a full-time career telling other women to go home. Dr. Alice Marwick calls it "preaching what they don't practice". https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/critically-speaking/id1463016517 #tradwife #manosphere

#CTE can only be confirmed after death. Boston University researchers are following living athletes for 10 to 20 years - blood draws every other year - hoping to find markers that could one day allow early detection. 🎧 https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/critically-speaking/id1463016517

The number of concussions isn't the metric. Total lifetime impacts are. Dr. Jonathan Cherry explains why that changes everything. 🎧 https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/critically-speaking/id1463016517 #CTE #concussion

Helmets don't protect against CTE. The injury comes from the brain rotating inside the skull - which can happen from a hit to the body, not just the head. Prevention is harder than most people think. 🎧 https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/critically-speaking/id1463016517 #CTE #braininjury

#Probiotics during pregnancy are widely assumed to be safe. Research found something unexpected: maternal probiotic supplementation dramatically altered gene expression in the placenta and fetal brain. 🎧 https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/critically-speaking/id1463016517 #pregnancyhealth

The early fetal brain can't produce serotonin on its own. It relies entirely on the placenta to supply it. When something disrupts the placenta - like BPA - it disrupts the neurological wiring of a developing brain. 🎧 https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/critically-speaking/id1463016517

BPA-free doesn't mean safe. Dr. Cheryl Rosenfeld's lab found #BPA and its substitute BPS have equally harmful effects on the placenta. 22 billion pounds produced annually - and that doesn't include the replacements. 🎧 https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/critically-speaking/id1463016517

Probiotics during pregnancy are supposed to be safe. The research tells a more complicated story. Dr. Cheryl Rosenfeld joins Dr. Therese Markow to share what her lab discovered and what it could mean for developing babies. 🎧 New episode out today. #probiotics #pregnancyhealth

Raw milk strikes again. Thirteen people across nine states have become sick with E. coli after consuming Sierra Nevada Graziers’ product, with 8 of them having been hospitalized.

The #FDA sends a "no questions" letter when companies voluntarily report new food additives. It's not approval - it's absence. Why does the system put food companies in charge of their own safety reviews? 🎧 https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/critically-speaking/id1463016517 #foodsafety

The FDA has permitted 83 forever chemicals in food packaging. It has banned none. Daniel Aaron explains the regulatory failure behind what's lining your food containers. 🎧 https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/critically-speaking/id1463016517 #PFAS #foodsafety

Food companies can decide for themselves whether their own ingredients are safe - with no requirement to report what they're adding to your food. This will change how you read a food label. 🎧 https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/critically-speaking/id1463016517 #foodsafety #FDAregulations
