Mary Jacobsen talks with John Sheff, a NASA Solar System Ambassador, about astrobiology, the interdisciplinary scientific search for extraterrestrial life, which seeks to understand how life arose and evolved on Earth and what makes a planet habitable.
          Sheff is an amateur astronomer and “space buff” who operates the observatory telescope during public nights at the Harvard-Smithsonian Center for Astrophysics in Cambridge.
The quest for extraterrestrial life has been advanced by two recent discoveries. First, life forms have been found in extremely harsh environments on Earth, such as hydrothermal vents in the ocean floor.  
Second, numerous extrasolar planets have been discovered orbiting around stars other than our sun. To date, NASA has confirmed more than 5,000 “exoplanets.” (For more information, visit exoplanets.nasa.gov.)
          Imagining extraterrestrial life forms has in the past been the province of science fiction writers, but these two discoveries have supplied astrobiologists with a scientific basis for speculating about how conditions on other planets would determine the physiological possibilities of a reality-based “E.T.”

West Newbury resident Jesse Kalfel will visit the show this week to discuss the documentary, “Dancing On a Volcano,” which tells the fascinating story of his mother’s work with the French resistance during World War II and her eventual escape from Nazi-occupied Europe.

Sponsored by the Newburyport Human Rights Commission and Congregation Ahavas Achim in recognition of International Holocaust Remembrance Day, the film will be shown on January 26th at 6:30 PM at Nock Middle School on Low Street.

At the beginning of World War II, Kalfel’s mother, Nadja Hammerman, worked in Paris as a fashion illustrator. Other family members had faced imprisonment in Austria, and more than 50 of her relatives were sent to death camps.

A “woman of action and a survivor,” as Kalfel describes her, Hammerman helped family members escape to Trinidad with the help of a Chilean diplomat based in Paris, Armando Merino, with whom she became romantically involved.

Together, Hammerman and Merino were able to help many endangered people to acquire identity papers and visas so they could flee to Chile. Eventually, it became too dangerous for Hammerman to remain in Paris, and she fled France for New York, where she was able to resume her career and became a renowned fashion illustrator. She died in 2017 at the age of 105.

As Kalfel says, the film “speaks to the finest of human qualities in the darkest of times.” There will be a Q&A session with Kalfel at the end of the screening.

Psychology of Lying Featured on “Morning Show”
 
Mary Jacobsen talks with Christian Hart, Ph.D., about what psychological science reveals about lying and liars. 
Dr. Hart is Professor of Psychology at Texas Woman’s University, where he is the Director of the Human Deception Laboratory. He’s the co-author of Big Liars: What Psychological Science Tells Us About Lying and How You Can Avoid Being Duped, forthcoming from the American Psychological Association in August of this year.
          Hart responds to the questions that many people have been asking in response to news about Congressman George Santos’ many and easily disproven falsehoods: what personality types are prone to excessive lying; what motivates the lying; why do people often initially believe the falsehoods told by notorious liars such as Santos, Bernie Madoff, Elizabeth Holmes, or Anna Sorokin; why do people begin to believe lies are true when they are repeated often enough; and how can we avoid being duped.

The Common Law - Episode 1

In today's episode of the Morning Show our host, Mary Jacobsen, speaks with award-winning novelist Erica Ferencik about “Girl in Ice,” which was named a 2022 New York Times Editors’ Choice and a Los Angeles Times Best Crime Novel of Winter 2022, among numerous other honors it received.
“Girl in Ice” has been described by the New York Times as “hauntingly beautiful.” The Wall Street Journal called it a “psychological suspense novel, a linguistic thriller and a scientific puzzle.”
Set in the Arctic Circle, the plot follows Val, a “brilliant linguist struggling to understand the apparent suicide of her twin brother.” That pursuit leads her to “venture hundreds of miles north to try to communicate with a young girl who has been thawed from the ice alive.”
Ferencik talks about her research on the Artic setting and the people of Greenland, her book’s theme of climate change, and how other languages draw us into different ways of thinking, as when, for example, Val reveals that the word for “climate change” in Inuktun, a language of northern Greenland, translates to “a friend acting strangely.”  

Ferencik has written two other critically acclaimed novels, “The River at Night” and “Into the Jungle.” For more information about Ferencik and her books, visit www.ericaferencik.com.

Mayor's Corner 2023-03-16

This week, Mary Jacobsen speaks with Candace Currie and Lisa Groves about “green” burial, also called natural burial.
          Currie is Clerk for Green Burial Massachusetts, a statewide nonprofit whose mission is to educate the public about green burial. Groves chairs the Westford Cemetery Commission, which began offering green burial as an option in the town in 2019.
          Currie and Groves discuss the benefits of green burial, in which the body and everything that accompanies it into the ground are nontoxic and biodegradable.
Currie and Groves also compare and contrast green burial with conventional burial and with cremation.
Sometimes also referred to as traditional burial, natural burial was the predominant method used in the U.S. prior to the Civil War, and is still used by much of the world’s population.
          Currently, the option of green burial in Massachusetts differs from town to town, and cemetery to cemetery. Green Burial Massachusetts Cemetery, a nonprofit organization of which Currie is President, is actively searching for land along with land trust partners to establish at least one conservation cemetery in Massachusetts, to offer anyone in the state who wants natural burial to have the option.
For information about green burial, visit Greenburialma.org.

Brave New World Episode 53

A music radio show that pushes musical boundaries, featuring experimental, avant-garde, and electronic music. Brave New World focuses on playing music that is rarely played on commercial radio - in other words, music with little to no mass commercial potential. Improvised, modern classical, industrial, tape music, analog synth, ambient, power electronics, and other experimental music genres are all fair game on Brave New World.

Around The Disctrict - March 2023

On this week's episode, Mary Jacobsen talks with James Kimmel, Jr. about the psychology of grievance and revenge. Kimmel is lecturer in psychiatry at Yale University School of Medicine and co-director of the Yale Collaborative for Motive Control Studies.
Kimmel talks about the role of grievances and retaliation in violent crime, including studies that reveal that “your brain on grievance looks a lot like your brain on drugs.” Harboring a grievance – a perceived wrong or injustice, either real or imagined, says Kimmel – “activates the same neural reward circuitry as narcotics.”
Just as people become addicted to drugs or gambling, people may become addicted to seeking retribution on perceived enemies, or as Kimmel calls it, “revenge addiction.” Kimmel also talks about how cultivation of grievances has become a contagious and dangerous political tool, notably in the wake of the Big Lie and the Jan. 6th insurrection.
“Revenge-seeking” also contributes to domestic violence, youth violence and bullying, police brutality, and terrorism.
According to Kimmel, it’s critical to “increase public education, from school age through adulthood, about healthy ways to process feelings of hurt and humiliation.”
Kimmel will explain “motive control” treatment strategies being piloted successfully at the Yale Collaborative as a means of disrupting grievance addiction and disarming the craving for retaliation.

Afternoon Drive 2020-01-02 Mayor Donna Holaday

Morning Show host Mary Jacobsen talks with Professor of History Micki McElya about our nation’s failure so far to adequately, publicly mourn the ever growing number of Americans who have died from COVID-19, and who often seem reduced to mere statistics. The author of the Pulitzer Prize nominated book, “The Politics of Mourning: Death and Honor in Arlington National Cemetery,” McElya talks about how national mourning after a disaster or war unites us. When we grieve together after great loss, McElya has written, “History catches its breath,” and out of many, “we become one.” When that doesn’t happen, we can become fragmented and rudderless.

Jacobsen also speaks with Buddhist teacher Matthew Daniell of the Insight Meditation Center of Newburyport, who will discuss the importance of learning to embrace uncertainty. Even during extraordinarily uncertain times such as the ongoing pandemic, embracing uncertainty enables us to cultivate inner calm. That calm, explains Daniell, can in turn help us to tap previously unknown depths of resourcefulness.
