Plants are fully sick right now - and not just because indoor plants are in fashion. They have an immune system, they get infections, and can catch viruses... they just can't move away from their sick neighbours.While we depend on white blood cells to fight off and remember pathogens, plants rely on inherited knowledge of past threats in their DNA, plus the effective altruism of individual cells to sacrifice themselves rather than damage the whole. Featuring:Associate Professor Andrew Geering, University of Queensland.Professor John Rathjen, Australian National University. Dr Amy MacKenzie, University of Adelaide.Belinda Smith, ABC Science reporter.Production:Ann Jones, Presenter / Producer.Petria Ladgrove, Producer.Additional mastering:  Emrys CroninThis episode of What the Duck?! was produced on the land of the Wadawarrung and Kaurna people.

When it comes to finding and sharing news, one third of Australians use Facebook. But that's about to change because Facebook's owner Meta has decided to stop paying Australian news outlets for their news. So what impact will Meta's decision have on the way news is shared in this country? And will the news vacuum lead to an uptick in misinformation?Guest:  Technology reporter James Purtill for ABC Science

Cheeseburger, roast duck, grapefruit, sizzling steak and cucumber are flavours you expect to find in a supermarket, but perhaps not in the potato chip aisle. But due to huge leaps in food science, there are now 1400 chip flavours and that number is rapidly increasing. So, is there a limit to how many different flavours we really want on our chips? And what sort of broader benefits are there from scientists breaking down new chip flavours?Guest: Bel Smith for ABC Science

Recently, a tiny, pesky parasite called the varroa mite was detected in Australia for the first time, and already they are absolutely wreaking havoc on bee colonies. Bees are fundamental for Australia's produce, without them - we'd lose a third of our fresh fruit and vegetables. So what impact will these mites have on our food supply? And is there anything we can do to stop them wiping out local bees entirely?Guest: Carl Smith from ABC Science

Dog and cat people know their pets dream, but do all animals dream? What about birds? Octopuses? Even fruit flies? Ann and Lisa explore how scientists know if other animals are dreaming and even what they might be dreaming about. Why do we wingless humans dream we can fly? If we dream we can fly, do birds dream they can drive a car? Lisa and Ann discuss recent studies into how, why, and what animals dream about. Learn just how similar animal dreams might be.

“Aboriginal people had a name for it... they called it ‘Devil Devil’...” In 1789, a disease tore through Aboriginal communities around Sydney Cove, or Warrane, leaving dead bodies floating in the harbour, and scattered along the shorelines. The evidence points to this being smallpox, but there’s still debate over how it got to Australia. Was it an accidental import with the arrival of European ships? Did it come from trading with other peoples in the region? Or was it deliberately introduced as a form of germ warfare? In this episode, Olivia Willis and Nakari Thorpe ask Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people about this catastrophic moment in their history, and hear how their ancestors survived a cocktail of diseases they’d never before encountered.

Episode One: Spillover in Suburbia A horse mysteriously falls ill in her paddock, and before long dozens of other horses from her stables are sick. As the horses start to die vicious, painful deaths, their trainer falls into a coma and is placed into intensive care. The race is on to figure out what's making both species sick, and where it came from. What they find will resonate throughout the following decades and might help us uncover the origins of COVID-19.

My guest on the ResourcefulHDR podcast his month is Dr. Rebecca Gelding. Rebecca recently started a new job as Project Officer (ARC Centre of Excellence for Children and Familes over the Life Course) Rebecca speaks about her research, her career choices and how important it is to stay true to herself. Rebecca’s award-winning PhD thesis investigated what is going on in the brain as people imagine musical pitch and rhythm. Her research has featured on ABC's All in the Mind Podcast, ABC Classic and ABC Science, and in 2019 she presented at the sold-out TEDx Macquarie University, and had the audience on their feet singing. Earlier this year she even played Chopsticks on the Steinway & Sons piano in City Recital Hall in front of a live lunchtime audience all in the name of science communication. I began following Rebecca when she was still doing her PhD and as a result saw that she was going to be ia guest on the ABC Radio Sydney and so I tuned in to hear about her fascinating research. I was then lucky enough to be in the audience for her talk at TEDx Macquarie University in September last year. Rebecca’s TEDx talk has now had over 540000 views! You can also read Rebecca's posts Music on the Mind blog created during her PhD and listen to the PioneeringMinds podcast

On New Year's Day 1963, two bodies were discovered on an Australian riverbank. Though their identities were quickly determined, weeks of intensive investigation failed to uncover a cause or motive for their deaths. In this week's episode of the Futility Closet podcast we'll tell the story of the Bogle-Chandler case, which riveted Australia for years. We'll also revisit the Rosenhan study and puzzle over a revealing lighthouse. Intro: Alphonse Allais' 1897 Funeral March for the Obsequies of a Deaf Man is silent.

A self-described alpha-male, Jai believed for years that he should've been able to prevent his indecent assault. Experts say it's an incredibly common reaction for male victims of sexual violence.   New research led by Australian Professor Vanessa Hayes appears to show all modern humans originated in northern Botswana. The Department of Home Affairs has suggested the use of face scans to confirm people's age before they watch porn online and to restrict access to gambling sites. ABC Science and Technology reporter Ariel Bogle explains how that would even work.

To look at today, the village of Walsham-le-Willows in Suffolk, Britain, doesn’t let on the depth of its terrifying history. The sleepy main street, with the occasional strolling local and looming church, where one struggles to find a coffee, does not convey the images of suffering and horror that once plagued this village. But this village, like most of Europe and Asia, has a very black history. And for Walsham-le-Willows, this dark time was the mid 1300s Music: Lost Radiance - On The Planet Far Away (ver. 1) Sources: Websites - Ancient History Encyclopaedia (https://www.ancient.eu/article/782/justinians-plague-541-542-ce/ Justinian’s Flea (http://www.justiniansflea.com/events.htm) Contagions (https://contagions.wordpress.com/2012/06/28/plague-at-the-siege-of-caffa-1346/) Bright Hub Education.com (https://www.brighthubeducation.com/history-homework-help/88775-social-effects-of-the-black-death/) BBC - Black Death (http://www.bbc.co.uk/history/british/middle_ages/black_impact_01.shtml) ABC Science (http://www.abc.net.au/science/articles/2008/01/29/2149185.htm) World Health Organisation - Plague (https://www.who.int/csr/disease/plague/en/) Journal Articles - Perry RD & Fetherston JD.

Jon Moore reporting! Well at long last the voice is back, sort of and I have some thoughts to catch up on and some housekeeping too. Housekeeping first. I heartfelt thanks to Angry Genghis for the review on iTunes. Really, thank you so much. I might point out though that I'm not in New Zealand but in Australia. The wonder of the interwebs is the dissolution of borders and the possibility of direct conversations across the globe. If anyone is doing interesting things out there and would like to be interviewed, drop me a line at: podcast@worldorganicnews.com. Now let's turn to the news! I’ve had time to think these past few weeks and there has been one stand out idea stuck in my mind the few weeks. Soil carbon! The post from millennial mutt entitled: The Call of the Farm: The Polyfaces Vision for a Better World explains how we can reverse the excess carbon dioxide accumulated in the atmosphere by returning it to the soil. This has the added benefit of increasing the fertility of the soil. Why, I hear you ask, is there a need to place carbon in the soil? More correctly, back in the soil? Well, I’m sooooo glad you asked. When the Second World War ended, there was an industry designed to pull nitrogen out the atmosphere. There had been a huge demand for this Nitrogen as part of the munitions industry. These people pushed for the use of this nitrogen as a fertiliser. Nitrogen is one of three key macro elements necessary for plant growth, Phosphorus and Potassium being the other two. Now the application of synthetic Nitrogen has the effect of destroying humic acid and the fungal communities under the soil surface. The deal with artificial fertiliser is this: Increased short term production for 1 to 2% loss of topsoil. Seems like a good system to start with but, but in the end what happens is basically hydroponics in subsoil. The process also releases soil carbon to the atmosphere both in the production of the synthetic Nitrogen and in the application to soil. So a return to organic farming, regrowing soil structure, humic acid, fungal communities and tree cover are relatively simple to introduce and effective. The UN argues only smallholder organic farming can feed the world anyway so let’s get to it! I’ve included a link to an ABC Science page back in 2007 regarding a soil carbon conference in Orange, NSW. This idea is nothing new, the problem seems to be most climate activists are focused upon urban and industrial CO2: coal fired power stations and motor vehicles. If they look at the bush it’ only to point the finger at factory farms. As I think I’ve made clear before, they and I are on the same page with factory farms. But the “simplicity” of returning soil carbon seems to have passed the urban types by. This is a shame. Polyface Farm, Virginia, USA is run by a contrarian individual: Joel Salatin. I have links to his site and the Wikipedia page in the show notes. He’s been walking the talk for decades so it is possible. In the same way Permaculture, Natural Farming and Biodynamic methods all work and are productive, we have a way forward. It’s under our feet. And that brings us to the end of this week’s catchup podcast. If you’ve liked what you heard, please tell everyone you know any way you can! I’d also really appreciate a review on iTunes. This helps others to find us. Thanks in advance! Any suggestions, feedback or criticisms of the podcast or blog are most welcome. email me at podcast@worldorganicnews.com.
