Scientist fooled the media into running stories

EXTENDED BODY:
The story made headlines around the world - that chocolate can help with weightloss...
The stories cited a study by The Institute of Diet and Health, involving German dieters.
The problem was - the institute doesn't exist, and only 15 dieters were studied, making the results statistically insignificant.
It was all part of an elaborate ruse by journalist and scientist John Bahannon to prove how quickly and easily misinformation can spread - and to encourage the media to be more responsible when it comes to covering science and health stories. He talks to Kathryn Ryan.

Heat, Exercise and Heart Health
BODY:
Heat and exercise, on their own or together, benefit the cardiovascular system by increasing blood volume and lwoering blood pressure, but could there be other benefits as well?
EXTENDED BODY:
By Alison Ballance
“Heat is part of exercise. And it’s probably an important part of exercise. It can adapt various things in the cardiovascular system.”
Jim Cotter, School of Physical Education, Sports and Exercise Science, University of Otago

Cycling as fast as you can on an exercycle, in a room that is heated to 40°C at 60 per cent humidity, isn’t most people’s idea of fun, but PhD student Ashley Akerman at the University of Otago is asking volunteers to do just that, as part of a study looking at cardiovascular adaptations to heat.
Ashley's supervisor, exercise scientist Jim Cotter, says that heat affects the cardiovascular system in a number of ways.
“It can help adapt the blood vessels, and keep them in better condition and slightly larger than they might otherwise be. It can help adapt the heart and protect it chemically against becoming short of blood, so can help protect against heart attack. And it can help increase blood volume and lower blood pressure. For example you can have 5% more blood volume the day after your exposure to exercise [and heat].”

Ashley has already tested a number of people of average fitness, to see if exercising in a hot environment has different results to exercising in a more temperate environment. More recently he has been testing super-fit athletes, such as triathlete and fellow PhD student Rob Creasy, who already has an extremely well adapted cardiovascular system.
“We don’t yet know whether it’s just the fluid part of the blood, the blood plasma, that increases [after exercising and heat exposure], or whether it manages to increase the red call component, the oxygen carrying part, as well,” says Jim. “Some studies are indicating that it is increasing red cell volume and therefore it may take over from altitude training for athletes. But we haven’t seen any evidence of that.”
When asked if living and working in a hot climate predisposes people to have better cardiovascular health Jim says there’s no evidence of that, but he also says that perhaps training in hot climates will have a better outcome than exercising in temperate climates. He mentions that a training institute in Qatar has set itself up as a heat camp to investigate whether training in the heat might replace altitude training. He also says it’s possible that exposure to heat might be beneficial to people who are unable to exercise.
“Heat no doubt has a lot of benefits,” says Jim, “And it’s a question of how wide those benefits go, and how much maybe should they take the place of exercise. Because exercise is free and freely available to almost everybody. But to what extent do we want to add [heat] onto exercise? Or for people who genuinely can’t exercise, how effective is it?”

Rob Creasy is investigating the reason that triathletes competing in very hot environments sometimes find it difficult to finish races even when they were highly motivated. “We found there was a lot of stuff going on with the brain, and blood flow and oxygenation to the brain.”
Jim says that humans shed heat by sweating and moving blood to the peripheries, rather than by shallow panting, which is what many animals do. Heavy breathing can lead to hyperventilation. “We blow the carbon dioxide out of our blood, and it reduces our brain blood flow. So when people faint in the heat it’s sometimes a combination of lack of blood pressure because of vasodilation and blood going to their skin, and partly because they have constricted brain blood vessels.”
Jim Cotter’s work on dehydration and exercise has previously featured on Our Changing World.

9:06 The Tuesday Feature: In Search of The Real Searchers
Sixty years ago John Ford travelled to Monument Valley to make his greatest Western, The Searchers. Based on Alan LeMay’s novel, it is still a powerful tale of race, violence and redemption as Ethan Edwards (John Wayne) searches for his niece Debbie, abducted by a Comanche raiding party on the Texas frontier. But, as Mark Burman discovers, The Searchers is a gateway to the real and powerful story of the forging of Texas statehood and the rise and fall of the Comanche empire. This is an epic journey, with real searchers, real loss and an epic struggle for survival at its core. It begins in Monument Valley and reaches across the vast expanses of Texas and Oklahoma to explore both the making of a classic film and the bloody history of the true West.
Mark Burman hears from Pippa Scott, one of the last surviving cast members of John Ford’s film, gets a guided tour through Monument Valley from a local Navajo expert to search for the last relics of the location shoot, encounters the last resting place of a true American hero and real searcher, and hears from Comanches who grew up with their communal stories shot down on screen by John Wayne.

Jim Pinckney delves into the latest album from the man they call The Modfather, Paul Weller
From early status as the tidiest man in punk rock with The Jam through to the sophisticated soul boy moves with the Style Council and a solo career that has pleasantly meandered through a quarter of a century, Paul Weller has never been afraid of wearing his influences on his sleeve. While there are echoes of the Kinks, The Who, The Beach Boys, The Beatles and other behemoths of rock on Saturns Pattern there is also plenty of evidence of his passion for new music, with touches that reference the modern soft psychedelia of Australia’s Tame Impala and Jagwar Ma, and plenty of other movers and shakers less than half his age. While to many he maybe the man, ultimately Weller is still a fan. It’s refreshing to hear that he is still finding, and most importantly seeking out, ways of pushing himself, and his art, with predominantly interesting results
Songs Featured: Saturns Pattern, White Sky, These City Streets, Long Time, Pick It Up, I’m Where I Should Be

Born Under Saturn by Django Django
BODY:

EXTENDED BODY:
Jim Pinckney appraises a new album from art school alt-pop outfit Django Django.
British 4 piece Django Django are an intriguing proposition who always deliver much promise yet never quite seem to fully capitalise on that. Their debut album from 2012 was smart as a whip and very well worked, yet still somehow managed to be frustrating and a little unfulfilling at the same time. With Born Under Saturn they still suffer at times from the same surplus of ideas and indecision on which path to follow, though they throw some interesting shapes along the way in their quest for identity.
Essentially they are a synth pop band with a wide focus that can encompass everything from a healthy dose of soft psychedelia to dancefloor tropes, often all within the same song.
When they do get all of the components right, and there are a few contenders for that, their fluid playing and meticulous arrangement skills allows for some engrossing musical gymnastics.

The Wet EP by Instant Fantasy

EXTENDED BODY:
Jim Pinckney is charmed by a new EP from Christchurch based synth siren Instant Fantasy.

Lamentably only available as a 5 track digital release, The Wet EP from Christchurch artist Instant Fantasy is one of the years most beguiling releases thus far. Gemma Syme who is Instant Fantasy may be working under a new name for this project but she is no newcomer and already has a solid reputation in the murky recesses of the New Zealand underground with outfits like Diana Rozz, 47 Diamantes and Fantasing.
This gloriously moody EP is such a sparse and haunted affair that every single tick and pulse is keenly felt, and magnified by the space around it. The instrumentation generally comprises of little more than delicate synthesised keyboard tones and the shadows of a drum track. It’s ruthlessly minimalistic and in the wrong hands that could turn tedious very quickly, but Syme coaxes colour from the subdued tones, and imprints memorable melodies on her svelte skeletons of songs.
Songs featured: I’ve Given Up On You, Wake Up With Bruises, Love Is Not Enough, I Don’t See An Honest Man, You’re A Liar
