Cracking the Boy CodeJun 18, 201827mGuest: Adam Cox, PhD, Clinical Psychologist, and Author, "Cracking the Boy Code" Somewhere between the ages of 10 and 13, your energetic, playful son may morph into a sullen adolescent who rarely makes eye contact and who grunts as a primary form of communication.

The Creative CurveJun 18, 201823mGuest: Allen Gannett, Founder and CEO of TrackMaven, Author of “The Creative Curve: How to Develop the Right Idea at the Right Time” In 1990, J. K. Rowling was sitting on a train from Manchester to London, and she said that “the idea for Harry Potter fell into \[her] head.” Fell into her head. If you dream of being a published writer, those might be discouraging words to hear. How many of us have gotten a brainstorm like the wizarding world of Harry Potter? And so, we often quit and give up on our creative dreams—but we shouldn’t.

Tech Transfer – Turning Waste into GoldJun 18, 201818mGuest: Mike Alder, Director of BYU Technology Transfer Office; Brian Woodfield, PhD, Professor of Chemistry, BYU Throughout the ages, alchemists have sought to turn common, inexpensive metals into precious gold. They often turned to magic and mysticism but never did manage to turn iron into gold. Chemists at BYU are doing a form of alchemy involving valuable petroleum products like diesel fuel and lubricants. Typically, you’d need a barrel of oil drilled out of the earth to make that stuff. But BYU chemist Brian Woodfield can make diesel fuel or paraffin wax out of cow manure and human sewage. No petroleum required.
