Podcasts about Adelman

This episode, we're stepping back to the golden age of natural history podcasting by resurrecting the format of the classic show Wild Ideas: The Podcast. Joining us on the trail is one of the OG hosts: the man himself, Gordon Maupin. It's a 3-way team-up where each of us brings a heavy-hitting seasonal mystery to the table.First, Steve unravels the rule-breaking world of the Ambystoma polyploid salamander complex, where unisexual lineages are mixing up DNA from different species and blurring the lines of what makes a species a species. Then, Gordon shrinks things down to look at the world of duckweed ecology, a group that includes the smallest flowering plants in the world. Finally, Bill turns our eyes to the skies over the marsh to pull back the curtain on dragonfly migration, looking into the recent science that shows some dragonfly species are multi-generational continental travelers (as well as badass predators).Come listen in as Gordon and the guys answer the question, “What's going on outside?” (Wild Ideas fans, that's for you)This episode was reecorded at the Iroquois National Wildlife Refuge in Alabama, NY on May 13, 2026.Episode LinksCheck out the Iroquois National Wildlife Refige and their Bald Eagle Cam.Here's the New York Times article about 7 Podcasts About the Joys of Bird Watching that includes a mention of our show.Episode NotesGetting The Great Egret's Latin Name RightDuring a quick aside this episode, Gordon spotted a Great Egret and Steve tried to recall its scientific name, tentatively going with Erodea alba. He wasn't entirely wrong! The correct name is Ardea alba.While alba means "white," Ardea is Latin for "heron." It also ties back to the ancient myth by everyone's favorite Roman poet Ovid, who wrote about a bird rising directly from the ashes of the burned city of Ardea. What's the Deal With Axolotls?We wondered if the axolotl is in the same genus as the Jefferson and blue spotted salamander (Ambystoma) and yes they are!Species: A. mexicanum (Axolotl) Unlike most members of Ambystomatidae—which typically metamorphose into terrestrial adults—the axolotl exhibits a trait called neoteny (or paedomorphosis). This is where an organism retains juvenile or larval traits into adulthood. Axolotls retains its aquatic, larval features (like its signature feathery external gills) into adulthood and spends its entire life in the water Bill's Hard Claim on ID'ing Jefferson Salamanders Bill said there is no way we could tell if it was a Jefferson salamander: is that true? Bill was basically right if we're talking about visually confirming a female-looking salamander in a blue-spotted/Jefferson overlap zone. Many unisexual individuals cannot be confidently identified by sight, and genetic testing is the clean answer. But during the breeding season, a male with a swollen cloaca is not part of the all-female unisexual lineage, so that can help narrow things down. So, a male in breeding condition can sometimes be identified much more confidently than a female/unisexual-looking animal, but you need to have serious knowledge about species location, morphology, and breeding-season characteristics. The Jefferson Complex vs. the Bigger Unisexual Salamander SituationDuring the episode, Bill had a “wait, what are we even talking about?” moment while Steve was explaining the huge all-female/unisexual Ambystoma salamander lineage.Steve was talking about the big-picture version: a bizarre evolutionary group that can involve genomes from several mole salamander species, including Blue-spotted, Jefferson, Small-mouthed, Streamside, and Tiger Salamanders.Bill, though, was thinking what we hear more about in the Northeast and Great Lakes region: the “Jefferson complex,” or the Blue-spotted/Jefferson Salamander mess. Around here, that usually means you can't usually ID a Jefferson Salamanders or a Blue-spotted Salamander down to species because the sally in front of you may belong to the all-female, polyploid lineage that can't be confidently sorted out just by looking at them.So Bill's question was basically: “Hold on. Is this identification nightmare only a Jefferson/Blue-spotted thing, or does it happen with the other species too?”And the answer is: yep. It can happen with the others too.The narrower Jefferson complex usually refers to the Blue-spotted/Jefferson part of the story, especially in places where those are the main overlapping species. But when scientists zoom out and include the other players (Small-mouthed, Streamside, and Eastern Tiger Salamanders) they usually refer to the whole thing as the unisexual Ambystoma lineage.So the practical field takeaway is this: in places where these species overlap, a female-looking Ambystoma salamander may be impossible to identify with confidence by appearance alone. Even experts may only be making an educated guess unless they use genetic testing. Measuring red blood cell size can help estimate ploidy (basically, whether the animal has extra chromosome sets) but DNA testing is the real way to know which genomes are actually in there. Is Duckweed the Smallest Flowering Plant? Yes, but specifically a microscopic type of it. The world's smallest flowering plants belong to the genus Wolffia - Often referred to as "rootless duckweed" or "watermeal," they are the tiniest members of the duckweed family (Lemnaceae) Individual Wolffia plants are usually less than 1 mm long, roughly the size of a pinhead or cornmeal, and the flowers are correspondingly microscopic.Unlike standard duckweed (Lemna), Wolffia plants do not have roots and appear simply as tiny floating green spheres or oval seeds.The plant produces the world's smallest flower, which forms in a tiny depression on the plant's top surface.Because they are so small and have highly efficient asexual budding, they can easily cover a pond in dense mats before you ever notice an individual plant. Can be found across temperate and tropical regions of North, Central, and South America Correction: Ed Yong's An Immense World (UV, not Infrared)During the episode, Bill mentioned Ed Yong's phenomenal book, An Immense World, and noted that researchers are increasingly discovering how many animals can see in the infrared spectrum. His memory slipped slightly on this one! Yong actually discusses the growing scientific realization that many animals see in the ultraviolet (UV) spectrum, not infrared. (Though as you'll see below, dragonflies do have a few tricks up their sleeves on the other end of the spectrum). Gordon's Question: Infrared Vision & Dragonfly MatingBill's misremembering of what was in An Immense World was prompted by Gordon asking a fantastic question during the recording: Can dragonflies see in the infrared spectrum, and if they can, are they using it to navigate during migration?First, a quick clarification: when most of us hear “infrared,” we immediately picture thermal imaging — animals glowing in the dark, Predator vision, that whole thing. That is not what we're talking about here. Dragonflies do not appear to see heat signatures.What they may be able to see is near-infrared — light just beyond the deepest red wavelengths visible to humans. Near-infrared is not heat vision. It is more like an invisible extension of red.According to a recent study published in January 2026 by researchers in Osaka, Japan, some dragonfly species have visual pigments that are sensitive to extremely long red wavelengths, possibly reaching into the near-infrared edge of the spectrum. That alone is pretty wild. But the discovery also highlights a striking example of parallel evolution between insects and primates. Millions of years ago, the ancestors of humans and other primates evolved molecular changes that helped produce red-sensitive vision. This new research suggests that some dragonflies may have independently evolved a similar molecular tuning mechanism for detecting red light. However, while primate red vision operates within the visible spectrum, some dragonflies appear to have pushed that sensitivity even farther, toward the boundary between deep red and near-infrared.So what are they doing with this ability? Probably not navigating migration, at least as far as we know.The better-supported idea is that this long-wavelength vision helps dragonflies identify mates quickly in flight. Male and female dragonflies can reflect red and near-infrared light differently, especially against green vegetation. So for an animal making split-second decisions while zipping around at high speed, that extra visual contrast could be a big deal. So to answer Gordon's question, dragonflies may be seeing farther into the red/near-infrared edge of the spectrum than we can, but based on what researchers currently know, they're probably using that ability for rapid sex recognition, not long-distance navigation. It's more of a high-speed dragonfly dating filter than infrared GPS.The Missing Piece: Visual Cues and "Leading Lines" in MigrationOne big element Bill neglected to mention in covering how dragonfies navigate during migration is the VISUAL piece – that they also use what they're seeing! That is a crucial piece of the puzzle. Dragonflies are also extremely visual animals. Those huge compound eyes are not just for decoration. So, what they're seeing is likely a key piece in their migration toolbox. Migrating dragonflies are often observed moving along major landscape features: coastlines, mountain ridges, river valleys, and other long, continuous edges. Biologists sometimes refer to these kinds of features as leading lines, because they can help guide or funnel migrating animals across the landscape.That doesn't mean a dragonfly is looking down and thinking, “Ah yes, the Susquehanna River. I'll take this south.” But these landscape features can still matter in several ways.Coastlines can keep migrants from drifting too far over open water, which is risky for an insect that eventually needs to land, rest, and feed.Mountain ridges and long hillsides can create useful air currents and updrafts, allowing dragonflies to ride favorable winds and conserve energy.River corridors can provide both a visual pathway and good stopover habitat, with water, vegetation, and plenty of small flying insects to eat when they need to refuel.The overall migration story for dragonflies probably isn't “dragonflies have one magic compass.” It's more like they are combining a bunch of cues at once: the visual structure of the landscape below them, as well as the elements covered during the episode. Steve's Questions: Resident vs. Migratory Green Darners & The Thermal Genetic SwitchDuring the episode, Steve asked two really good questions about Common Green Darners: if some are migratory and some are resident, how do they know which group to mate with? And could temperature be the thing that nudges a young darner down one path or the other?The first answer is surprisingly simple: they probably don't know, and they probably don't care.For a long time, researchers assumed these groups were reproductively isolated, believing residents emerged and died before the migratory cohort reached adulthood, but modern research has overturned this idea. According to a comprehensive review by Michael L. May and John H. Matthews, adult flight periods absolutely overlap in mid-summer, and genetic testing reveals zero genetic differentiation between the groups. The entire continental population belongs to a single, randomly mating gene pool. So when a Common Green Darner is ready to mate, it is probably not checking whether the other darner is from the “resident” or “migratory” team. It is just mating with another mature Common Green Darner in the same airspace. Very romantic. Very dragonfly.Steve's second question gets at something even more interesting: what makes one generation migrate while another stays put?This is where temperature, day length, and seasonal timing seem to matter a lot. A Green Darner nymph developing in warm water during long summer days may be pushed toward faster development. That can produce adults that emerge, feed heavily, build up energy reserves, and migrate south in late summer or fall.But if nymphs are developing as temperatures drop and days get shorter, their development can slow down. Instead of rushing to become adults, they may overwinter as aquatic nymphs and emerge the following year. Those individuals can then become part of the resident breeding population in northern ponds.So Steve's instinct was basically right: environmental conditions appear to play a huge role in shaping whether a darner develops quickly and migrates, or slows down and overwinters.The only thing to be careful about is the phrase “genetic switch.” There probably are changes in gene expression involved. Temperature and day length can absolutely affect how insects develop, but in Common Green Darners, we should probably think of it less as a single switch being flipped and more as a whole developmental pathway being shaped by the environment.The short version: migratory and resident Green Darners are not separate species or rival dragonfly factions. They appear to be part of one big, mixed population whose life cycle can play out in different ways depending on timing, temperature, and local conditions.Sponsors and Ways to Support UsThank you to Always Wandering Art (Website and Etsy Shop) for providing the artwork for many of our episodes.Support us on Patreon.Works CitedHallworth, M.

Send us Fan MailA diagnosis can feel like it writes your child's future in ink, but that story is usually wrong. We sit down with Sean Adelman, an orthopedic trauma surgeon and dad to a daughter with Down syndrome, to talk about what he's learned outside the textbooks: people are not their worst day, and kids are not their labels. The big throughline is raising expectations, not as pressure, but as possibility.We get personal about how exposure changes fear into understanding. I share how my family first connected with Down syndrome, then how my son's autism diagnosis forced me to rethink communication, parenting goals, and what “support” really means. Sean adds the perspective of a clinician who sees hard moments for a living, and how that can warp the way professionals and families imagine disability, neurodiversity, and the full spectrum of the human condition.From there we zoom out to the everyday skills that make inclusion real: being a safe landing for your kids, modeling how to handle failure, and choosing kindness in small moments that tell people, “I see you.” We also break down acceptance vs inclusion, the dignity of risk, and why supported employment and inclusive hiring are not charity but smart business that improves morale and reduces turnover. We end with practical next steps, including ways to volunteer with Special Olympics, Best Buddies, or your local ARC, plus resources at raiseexpectations.com.If this conversation shifts your thinking even a little, please subscribe, share it with another parent or educator, and leave a review so more families can find it.

This week on The Food Professor Podcast, our interview is recorded live at SIAL Canada 2026 in Montreal. Michael LeBlanc welcomes one of the most influential executives in global consumer packaged goods: Jessica C. Adelman, Mars Snacking North America. Fresh off Mars' massive $36 billion acquisition of Kellanova, Adelman offers a rare inside look at the strategic thinking behind one of the largest CPG transactions in history. She explains how Mars — now a $86+ billion privately held global powerhouse operating across more than 80 countries — is reshaping itself into a modern snacking giant with iconic brands spanning M&M's, Snickers, Skittles, Pringles, Pop-Tarts, Cheez-It, and more. The conversation dives deep into how large food companies are navigating a radically different operating environment shaped by geopolitical volatility, inflation, climate pressures, AI disruption, and changing consumer behaviour. Adelman shares Mars' approach to resilience, reputation management, and long-term strategic planning in an era where business shocks arrive faster and harder than ever before. She also discusses why Mars continues investing heavily in North American manufacturing, including a recent $180 million investment across Ontario facilities. Michael and Jessica explore the transformative impact of AI across food retail and supply chains, from reducing food waste and optimizing logistics to enabling consumer discovery and personalization. They also examine how GLP-1 weight-loss drugs are changing eating habits, portion sizes, and snack consumption patterns — a growing issue every major food manufacturer is now monitoring closely. The interview also touches on sustainability, food system resilience, consumer affordability, and the evolving role of global brands in helping consumers balance value, convenience, nutrition, and enjoyment. Throughout the discussion, Adelman offers a thoughtful perspective on leadership, agility, and why companies must move beyond simply “playing the hits” to remain relevant in a rapidly changing marketplace. But first, Michael and Sylvain Charlebois tackle another packed week in food and agriculture news. The hosts debate Ontario's emerging “6% milk” trend, the accelerating adoption of GLP-1 drugs across Canada thanks to the launch of a generic pill format, and renewed calls (along with the history and original objectives) to overhaul Canada's confusing best-before date system to combat food waste and improve affordability. They also discuss food theft and organized crime concerns in grocery retail, mounting pressure on Atlantic Canada's oyster industry, mushroom trade tensions with the United States, the definition of food deserts in urban Canada, and the critical importance of grain infrastructure in Atlantic Canada and a world awash in Bourbon.

In this episode of The Baseline NBA Podcast, we open up The Autopsy Report on three teams whose playoff exits raised more questions than answers — the Boston Celtics, Denver Nuggets, and Houston Rockets. Each entered the postseason with expectations, but all three were unceremoniously bounced in the first round, forcing a hard look at roster construction, star leadership, coaching decisions, and long-term direction.What went wrong for Boston? Are Denver's championship windows tightening? And did Houston's young core hit a ceiling sooner than expected? We break down the key turning points, underperformances, and structural flaws that led to their early exits — and more importantly, what comes next. From potential roster moves and offseason priorities to franchise-defining decisions, this is a full-scale evaluation of three teams at a crossroads.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-baseline-nba-podcast--3677698/support.Visit: https://prizepicks.onelink.me/LME0/CLNS and use code CLNS and get $50 in lineups.This show was sponsored in part by Raycon: Visit https://buyraycon.com/baseline for 20% off new buds!Get NBA League Pass: https://link.nba.com/LP19MG Looking to book a vacation?

In this episode of Boom Goes the History, historians Tim Smith and Garry Adelman dive into the powerful world of Civil War photography at Gettysburg. This isn't about how to take a better photo—it's about the men behind the camera and the haunting, iconic images they left behind.From the work of Alexander Gardner to Mathew Brady, we explore how these early photographers documented the aftermath of battle, shaped public perception of the war, and created some of the most enduring images in American history. What's real, what's staged, and what stories do those famous photos actually tell?It's a fascinating, sometimes surprising look at Gettysburg—not as you walk it, but as the world first saw it. History, storytelling, and a few myth-busting moments along the way… boom!

On the latest episode of Pickaxe and Roll, Ryan Blackburn breaks down the expected decisions by the Denver Nuggets to retain David Adelman as head coach, to sign Nikola Jokic to an extension, and to explore trades for basically everyone else. Ryan goes over the financial situation, Denver's assets, and why picking a direction is difficult. Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

In hour three of Stokely and Evans with Mark Schlereth, Stoke is out today so Mike and Mark get into The Avalanche’s historic win last night against The Minesota Wild, and Mark asks if Minesota can keep up their ridiculous speed of play because The Avs can play faster.  The Nuggets are retaining head coach David Adelman and fans have some opinions.   

In hour 4 of The Drive, Zach and James finish their conversation on Bo Nix posting a video of himself running at the Broncos practice facility. Who is Nix trying to convince of his health by posting this video? We pivot to the Nuggets and discuss the latest reporting regarding the Nuggets being open to re-constructing the roster. How do the guys feel about Aaron Gordon being a trade candidate for teams like the Lakers, Suns and more? What kind of returns would the Nuggets get for players like Gordon, Murray and Braun? Are the Nuggets making a mistake by bringing back Adelman for a second year and potentially wasting more of Jokic's prime? Is the Nuggets' ownership not maximizing their championship window by not being willing to spend on front office executives? We wrap up the show with Zach sharing about his experience at the Avalanche Game 1 last night with his family. 

In hour 2 of The Drive, Zach and James finish their discussion on Bo Nix posting a video of himself running at the Broncos practice facility. Is Nix's video misleading as many think this video is from months ago or even a year ago? Who is Nix trying to convince with this video? We pivot to the Nuggets and discuss ESPN's Shams Charania's recent reporting on the Nuggets keeping David Adelman but being open to making moves with the roster outside of Nikola Jokic. Are the Nuggets making a mistake by bringing back Adelman for a second year and potentially wasting more of Jokic's prime? Today's "Three Count" features the Nuggets' ownership not maximizing their window after not being willing to spend on front office executives and coaches, Joel Embiid exercising some demons by beating Boston in game 7 to move on to the second round, and Skip Bayless joining Stephen A. Smith on First Take this Friday. We dive into the reports on Aaron Gordon being looked at as a trade candidate for teams like the Lakers, Suns, and more. 

0:00 - 15 goals in one game. Ah yes, business as usual for a standard NHL game.Your Avalanche started Round 2 with a BANG and dropped 9 goals on Minnesota's noggin in Game 1. But they also gave up 6 goals. How do we make sense of this crazy game? How do we weigh the good with the bad?15:50 - John-Michael Liles hopped on the show this morning to help us break down last night's goal-scoring bonanza at Ball Arena. What did JML think of all the back-and-forth action between the Avs and Wild?35:52 - According to both Bennett Durando and Shams, the Nuggets have no plans to move on from David Adelman. Is this a good move, or rather, lack of a move?

0:00 - David Adelman said he doesn't want to "crush" his guys after losses, even thought that's what the media/fans want him to do. We don't need him to go full Bobby Knight on his locker. But hold your guys accountable! Get them fired up! Let's go! What's wrong with tough love if you guys are receptive to it?14:02 - Are the...Rox good again? You know who's definitely good? Sugano. Man, he's been wheelin' and dealin' all season long. Now that we've had a day or so to process Bo Nix AnkleGate 2.0, do we feel any different? All the internet "medical professionals" were offering their analysis of it all on Twitter last night, so make of that what you will. 32:45 - Oh, by the way...Marc Rycroft was in an episode of Breaking Bad! Seriously! Oh, by the way...The Saudis are pulling all their funding from the LIV Tour. Should the PGA let all those golfers back with open arms? Or should they make them work their way back? Oh, by the way...Erik Johnson was double-fisting cowboy boot margaritas on the ESPN broadcast at the Dallas Stars arena before Game 1. And honestly? It looked awesome.

We breakdown the Nuggets responding after the TWolves came out firing and turning over the Nuggets. How much room is there for Jamal Murray to play better after he struggled from three in game one? We hear from TWolves head coach, Chris Finch on amount of Jamal Murray free throws he shot. Will the referees allow the Wolves to play more physical in game two?

He explained why he's been using a small-ball lineup recently, and why his team's defense looked better over the weekend.13:51 - Marvin Mims told Vic he was "surprised" by the Broncos acquiring Jaylen Waddle. If we're reading between the lines here, he was surprised because Waddle is a carbon copy of him. Similar builds, similar heights, similar player. How will the Broncos use two of the same guy?33:15 - Former CU QB Ryan Staub transferred to Tennessee and in getting settled in at his new school. He made a comment the other day about how he's received more coaching in his 3 weeks with Tennessee than he got in 3 years at CU. Is that him taking a shot at Deion? Or is he just pumping up the Vols fans a bit? 

The Nuggets start a favorable part of their schedule over their next 7 games—starting tonight at home against Philly. What would be considered a successful record during this 7-game stretch? Considering the teams they are playing, does this give Adelman a little flexibility to experiment with lineups? Also, should we be worried about David Adelman and the game moving a little too fast for him? Deebo Samuel and Jauan Jennings are still available in free agency.

Has Nix surpassed Justin Herbert with Herbert's lack of playoff success? DenverSports.com's Jake Shapiro joins the show to discuss the Nuggets signing Spencer Jones to a full NBA contract and how the Nuggets health has impacted their regular season record. How will David Adelman handle the starting rotation when the Nuggets are fully healthy and could Adelman burn bridges by benching Christian Braun?

0:00 - It's tough to get into a rhythm right now, since Nuggets players are entering and exiting the lineup left an right. Joker and CB are finally back, but they're still shaking off the rust. Adelman is changing things on the fly and doing the best he can with who he has.14:27 - There's a Double Diparoo tonight, which necessitates a Double Keys-A-Roo! What are the keys to a Nuggets victory over the Knickerbockers, and an Avs victory over the Sharks?After that, Vic is in SF at Media Row and he met our hero. Our idol. Our friend(?) Mel Owens.

0:00 - The stage is set. The Broncos will host the Bills on Saturday in the Divisional Round. Denver's out for revenge, baby. They got straight up embarrassed last year in their playoff game in Buffalo. Can they flip the script this time around?10:29 - This game vs the Bills will come down to the last possession. No question. Which scenario would you rather have: Broncos defense oneeds to make a stop to secure the win? Or Broncos offense needs to drive down the field and score to secure the win?28:24 - In these Jokic-less games, Zeke Nnaji has looked like a servicable rotation piece. He's looking like the NBA talent we've always hoped he could be. Does this mean Adelman will keep using him? Or does it mean he's increased his trade value as the deadline gets closer?

0:00 - Scott Hastings is in Toronto with the Nuggets right now. He had a chance to sit down with Coach Adelman before tonight's game against the Raptors.

Rachel Vigil is in studio with DMac to dig into your Denver Broncos and their (all but done) quest for the AFC's 1 seed. 35:34 - The Nuggets are playing a game tonight without 4 of their starters. Love it! How will this team adapt to Jokic's absence?

0:00 - Chad Brown chatted anything/everything Broncos with DMac and Rachel Vigil from somewhere in (somewhat) sunny Arizona. We're all bought in on the Broncos locally. But are people still doubting them nationally?14:24 - Nuggets Coach David Adelman sat down with Scotty this afternoon in Toronto for a one-on-one conversation. Now that Adelman knows Jokic's knee injury isn't too severe, where's his head at moving forward? How is Coach preparing for a month without the greatest basketball player on planet earth?

What myth do you have trouble letting go of? Is there a "fact" that you've always heard repeated but something about it just doesn't sit right with you making you suspect that it might be a myth?
