Submarines can descend thousands of feet below the surface of the ocean, but to do so, they have to deal with an enormous amount of pressure. In this episode, engineer and pilot Bruce Strickrott of the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution explains some of the fundamental engineering principles that allow submarines to dive so deep without imploding under the pressure.

NBN Book of the Day - Eric Hayot, “Humanist Reason: A History. An Argument. A Plan” (Columbia UP, 2021)
Scientists have scientific reason and use the scientific method. Humanists have... Emotion? Close reading? Not so, argues Eric Hayot in
Humanist Reason: A History. An Argument. A Plan (Columbia UP, 2021). Contrary to popular belief, the humanities involve both reasoning and methods. Humanist reason, Hayot shows, is philosophically and historically grounded and applicable to almost every discipline. Part history of philosophy, part methods handbook, and part manifesto, Humanist Reason will change the way we advocate for the humanities in the twenty-first century.
Claire Clark is a medical educator, historian of medicine, and associate professor in the University of Kentucky’s College of Medicine. She teaches and writes about health behavior in historical context.

If you use email, there is a good chance you’re familiar with email scams. Who hasn’t gotten a shady chain letter or suspicious offer in their inbox? Cybercriminals have been using email to spread malware for decades and today’s methods are more sophisticated than ever. In order to stop these attacks from ever hitting our inboxes in the first place, threat analysts have to always be one step ahead of these cybercriminals, deploying advanced and ever-evolving tactics to stop them.
On today’s podcast, hosts Nic Fillingham and Natalia Godyla are joined by Elif Kaya, a Threat Analyst at Microsoft. Elif speaks with us about attacker email infrastructure. We learn what it is, how it’s used, and how her team is combating it. She explains how the intelligence her team gathers is helping to predict how a domain is going to be used, even before any malicious email campaigns begin. It’s a fascinating conversation that dives deep into Elif’s research and her unique perspective on combating cybercrime.
In This Episode, You Will Learn:
- The meaning of the terms “RandomU” and “StrangeU”
- The research and techniques used when gathering intelligence on attacker email structure
- How sophisticated malware campaigns evade machine learning, phish filters, and other automated technology
- The history behind service infrastructure, the Netcurs takedown, Agent Tesla, Diamond Fox, Dridox, and more
Some Questions We Ask:
- What is attacker email infrastructure and how is it used by cybercriminals?
- How does gaining intelligence on email infrastructures help us improve protection against malware campaigns?
- What is the difference between “attacker-owned infrastructure” and “compromised infrastructure”?
- Why wasn’t machine learning or unsupervised learning a technique used when gathering intelligence on attacker email campaigns?
- What should organizations do to protect themselves? What solutions should they have in place?

What A Day - Shots For Tots
Nearly 10,000 children seeking asylum have arrived to the United States southern border since February, and a lack of shelter space has led many of them to detention centers with substandard conditions. DHS Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas said the number of people arriving at the border this year is expected to reach a 20-year high.
Moderna is beginning to test its COVID vaccine in children ages 6-months to 12-years-old, while other drug companies have started or will start trials in slightly older children. There's some debate about whether 3-feet of distance between students in schools might be sufficient... but the CDC has yet to revise their initial recommendation of 6-feet.
And in headlines: Georgia voters call on companies like Coca-Cola and Home Depot to stand against voter suppression law, believe it or not Russia did interference in the 2020 election, and Utah's state legislature wants to block porn on cell phones.

The Daily Signal - Author Explains the Problem With the ‘Woke’ Invasion of Big Business
Why is corporate America increasingly stepping in to support "woke" social justice causes?
"These corporations are part of a movement that has been going on in the West and in this country in particular for the last roughly 100 years to move the culture very consistently and very aggressively to the left in order to more or less make ready the path for the revolution," says Steve Soukup, author of the new book "The Dictatorship of Woke Capital: How Political Correctness Captured Big Business."
Soukup joins "The Daily Signal Podcast" to explain how activists have hijacked and twisted the purpose of many of the world's largest companies to serve left-wing ends and why Americans need to be concerned about it.
We also cover these stories:
- The Department of Homeland Security says illegal crossings are going to reach the highest amount in two decades.
- Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell gave a strong and direct defense of the filibuster on Tuesday.
- Both Coca-Cola and Home Depot have announced they are not supportive of election reform efforts in Georgia.

Amarica's Constitution - Jefferson Ben Amar
As “The Words That Made Us” approaches its May release, we continue to explore new perspectives on the early Presidents. Akhil’s disillusionment with Jefferson is explained, and the rise of the third President’s cousin and near-usurper makes for some surprising moments. We return to the visual for examples of particularly blatant painting propaganda, and a future guest makes a cameo.
