It's mid-afternoon and time for a treat! Do you choose a healthy piece of fruit, or do you head straight for the chocolate? It turns out that well before we consciously decide what we're going to eat, our brain has already weighed up our choices — and in a fraction of a second. Now a new study shows which food attributes are processed by our brain faster than others, and how this might influence our dietary decisions. You can binge more episodes of the Lab Notes podcast with science journalist and presenter Belinda Smith on the ABC Listen app (Australia).

Silvester vor drei Jahren habe ich beschlossen, täglich beim Frühstück etwas aufzuschreiben. Mit Smartphone und Google-Notizen ist das kein Problem. Ich frühstücke - und zur dritten Tasse Kaffee zücke ich mein Smartphone, lege die Füße hoch und genieße es, mit meinem inneren "Therapeuten" zu sprechen. Manchmal analysiere ich ein Ereignis vom gestrigen Tag, manchmal unterhalte ich mich mit Gott persönlich, manchmal überlege ich eine Strategie für eine menschliche Begegnung, die ich an diesem Tag haben werde. Heute erzähle ich, welchen Wert dabei ABC-Listen haben - und wie man sich selbst über diese Technik auf die Spur kommen kann.  Wer mehr über das alles wissen will, kann gerne die SteadyNews als wöchentlichen Newsletter abonnieren (Abo-Feld rechts auf der Startseite - Bestätigungsmail landet zunächst oft im Spamordner) - Jede Woche schreibe ich 5 Beiträge zu Themen rund um den digitalen Wandel und versende sie jeden Dienstag um 9.00 Uhr an alle Abonnenten.https://steadynews.de/

We have a mysterious visitor to our little patch of the cosmos this week: A comet called 3I/ATLAS. This icy, rocky ball is only the third interstellar object we've discovered zooming past our Sun. There are scientists who think the comet may be alien technology sent from another solar system to invade Earth, but space agencies poured cold water on this idea. So how will we know if we truly find evidence of extraterrestrial life? You can binge more episodes of the Lab Notes podcast with science journalist and presenter Belinda Smith on the ABC Listen app (Australia).

Around 1.5 million years ago, in what's now Kenya, a human-like figure walked across the savannah. He was probably quite short by our standards, no taller than Danny DeVito. But unlike Danny DeVito, this ancient figure was not human. He was a long-extinct relative of ours called Paranthropus boisei. And now his fossilised hand bones are giving us never-before-seen insights into how he and his species lived. You can binge more episodes of the Lab Notes podcast with science journalist and presenter Belinda Smith on the ABC Listen app (Australia).

Few astronomical wonders are as spectacular as a total solar eclipse, when the Moon fully covers the Sun, plunging us into daytime darkness. If we're lucky, we can see this epic phenomenon as it happens — through special glasses, of course. But our preoccupation with looking at the sky means we may not notice what's happening to the animals around us. When it comes to birds, many of which rely on the Sun to tell them when to sing a dawn chorus, how does a solar eclipse change how they behave? And what are the wider implications in this artificially lit world?  You can binge more episodes of the Lab Notes podcast with science journalist and presenter Belinda Smith on the ABC Listen app (Australia).

This has been a bumper year for whale-watching on Australia's east coast, with thousands of humpbacks spotted cruising along their annual migration route.  This population was almost wiped out by whalers last century but has bounced back — and then some.

It might be tempting to think, "they're different over there", but here's the thing: they're kind of not.

A string of community transmission donut days in NSW has been a nice to see since a mystery COVID-19 case popped up in Sydney late last week. However, despite its best efforts, NSW Health has not been able to find out how the case jumped from hotel quarantine into the community. The man has clearly picked up the virus from a mystery person in the community, who could well have spread it to others. So on today's Coronacast, how worrying it is that the link hasn't been found? Also on today's show: * The virus found in Sydney - B.1.617.2 - is declared a variant of concern by the UK Government * Why don't these supposed very contagious variants seem to spread in Australia? And don't forget to check out the new season of Patient Zero! * Apple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/au/podcast/rn-presents-patient-zero/id1370255107 * ABC Listen app: https://abclisten.page.link/UgUg8Z4JtCaEh71p6
