H5N1, otherwise known as Avian or Bird Flu, has been around for a long time. Mostly, the virus has been passed among wild birds, but there have also been sporadic outbreaks in poultry flocks. Now, the virus has spread to dairy cattle and, in at least two cases, from cattle to people. This has experts in pandemic prevention on high alert. Dairy workers come in close contact with cattle, raising concerns that the virus could mutate in such a way that it can be transmitted not only from animals to people but also from human to human. Joining me to discuss the risk that H5N1 could become a virus capable of human-to-human transmission, and what can be done to prevent that, is Robyn Alders. She is an honorary professor with the Development Policy Centre at the Australian National University and a member of the Lancet Commission on the Prevention of Viral Spillover. We begin by discussing the history of H5N1 before delving into the current outbreak among dairy herds. Alders also explains why addressing the root cause of these outbreaks requires a fundamental shift in how we approach food systems.

This week I wanted to showcase an incredible family of moths that are known to mimic a variety of bees and wasps depending on the genera and species. It's not just their looks that are incredibly accurate though. It's the behaviors as well!    Support the show -> https://www.patreon.com/user?u=46499107  IG: https://www.instagram.com/insects4fun/ FB: https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=100085443614825 Email: Insectsfordummies@gmail.com   Music supported by Lofi Girl with featured artists: Brillion, HM Surf, Tom Doolie, and Dimensions 32  Transcript: Welcome everyone to episode 57 of Insects for Fun! The weekly entomology podcast covering all kinds of interesting things in the world of entomology. Today we are doing a deep dive into clear wing moths, which are quite possibly the best wasp mimics I have ever seen.    Let's start with the basics, as we always do. Clearwing moths belong to the family sesiidae, of which there are around 165 genera, and over 1,525 species in the world. There are other families, but we're just gonna focus on this one today and to be honest it has way more species than I was expecting. That being said it's time for a quick disclaimer! I just wanna quickly remind everyone that when we dive into families that are this size, it becomes increasingly difficult to say that any one characteristic can be found within each individual. So just remember, every species is gonna be a bit different!    Alright so we have this family of moths called clearwings, but what's so special about them? Well! These moths are daytime fliers for one, and are known for their incredible wasp mimicry. And let's not forget those clear wings for which they're named. You see these incredible creatures have evolved to mimic a variety of different wasp species. I'm talking about everything from yellow jackets to parasitoids, and the mimicry doesn't stop at their looks. Even the flight and sounds they produce can resemble wasps, making them scary to many people who don't even know they exist. This kind of mimicry is called batesian mimicry which is when animals that don't have any special defenses of their own mimic ones that do in an effort to protect themselves. I suppose you could say that the ability to mimic something scary is a special defense although once you see through the bluff they're in trouble. This is again one of those times when I strongly suggest you check out the instagram or fb pages because I'll be posting images of different species, and they really are incredible.    For starters the wings aren't just clear but also shaped to look like wasps with most being more slender and triangular in appearance, and as I mentioned earlier there are species which evolved to sound like the wasps and bees they mimic. This is particularly known to be the case for southeast asian species of which two were tested acoustically and found to produce sounds very similar to the bees they mimic, but different from other bees. I just can't get over how these moths have evolved to strictly mimic individual bee and wasp species as opposed to being more general. Here's an audio clip of their buzzing:    In 2020 Thailand a new genus and species was discovered which mimics a type of parasitoid called a braconidae. Unlike other mimics which rely on colors and body shapes, this one has marks on its wings which in flight make the body appear curved in the same way as a braconid wasp. Pretty crafty I gotta say. I'll put a picture on the IG and FB pages.    Now on the other side of the spectrum there is a wasp mimic moth found in central and south america which does such an insanely detailed job that it left me staring for longer than I should have. The species is called Pseudosphex laticincta and I'm gonna put the image up of this one next to the wasp it mimics as well because man or man it is incredible.    Moving along to other incredible things, the caterpillars for sesiidae moths do not feed on the leaves of plants in the same way other caterpillars do. They don't even look like caterpillars (huh) the moths lay their eggs on host plants but the caterpillars then burrow directly into the plants, and are never seen again… until they come out of course. But yeah seriously the caterpillars don't have color, and barely have any legs either. Some of them honestly look like wasp larvae which again is truly wild. How can something in a separate order of insects evolve to look so similar! It's not like these moths had a conference one day (conference noises) and said you know what? Things aren't working out for us, but those wasps? They seem to have it good, so let's just cosplay as those guys from now on.    Actually in the most recent bonus episodes available on Patreon I do dive into something which could very well explain this phenomenon, and my patrons might actually know exactly what I'm talking about if they're up to date, but enough about that, let's see just how similar these moths take their mimicry…    So we have these caterpillars that don't really look like caterpillars, and they seem to feed on wood, roots, and other internal plant structures which again is not what your average caterpillar does, but this type of behavior is known within wasp and bee species so that's another point for towards professional mimicry. As for how long it takes to complete a life cycle, that varies on the species, but most of them take 1 year to fully develop.   The larvae are actually well known pests to gardeners and people who work in landscaping, as well as forest management. The reason is simply that the larvae often damage the plants that they infest by weakening them to the point of losing branches or even death. Although any plant which has been heavily infested by clearwing caterpillars must have been weakened already by other factors because the caterpillars alone shouldn't be enough to kill a tree. People in integrated pest management commonly abbreviated as IPM refer to these caterpillars as clearwing borers, and the standard protocols are to first make sure the problem is actually clearwing borers. Many insects will bore into trees, especially beetles, and the treatments differ depending on the insect. Common host trees include but are not limited to Alders, Poplars, Pine, Fir, Oak, Sycamore, Willow and stone fruit trees like apricot, cherry, peach and plum. Signs of borers inside a tree are gnarled or rough looking bark patches, swelling on branches, piles of dust and waste outside a tree, and pupal cases poking out of the bark. The hallmark for clearwing borers specifically would be the pupal cases.    There are other moths with clearwings by the way which cannot be mistaken for wasps, like hummingbird moths for example, and I will definitely do an entire episode on those in the future.    Before we wrap up the episode I want to quickly go into one particular species which got my attention and started this entire episode. That would be the hornet moth sesia apiformis which can be found across Europe and in Britain. It's not often we find ourselves in Europe or the UK on this podcast, but that doesn't mean I don't notice what's there! (notice me senpai). Anyway this large hornet looking moth can be found in parks, meadows, golf courses, marshes, basically anywhere really, and they prefer laying eggs on trees surrounded by vegetation.    This moth is really cute despite being a mimic to the European hornet, and the females act pretty similar to a giant silkmoth meaning they're pretty docile and won't fly until after they've mated. I'll of course post a picture of this one too.    The larvae for these moths feed in the roots of trees unlike the others we've mentioned so far, and can spend up to 2 years before pupating. Our UK listeners can probably testify that the weather isn't exactly ideal over there most of the time, with summers historically being pretty short, and as a result the larva have been known to grow slower than others.    When the caterpillars do finally make their pupae it is within the tree and these ones are one of few within the family to create a cocoon. Inside this cocoon holds the pupa which for this species are lined with rings of small spines. The spines on these pupae cling to walls of the hole they bore in the tree's trunk and create a grip which the pupae use to wriggle their way out in mid June or July.    The moth was introduced into New England before 1880 and can be found in the northeastern parts of North America with detailed records around Ontario, Canada.    And with that, this wraps up today's episode on the clearwings moths in the family sesiidae. As always I hope you enjoyed it and learned something interesting! If you are enjoying the podcast it is highly appreciated if you drop a review and rating on whatever platform you listen. It helps me know if I'm doing a good job and is social proof to people who aren't sure if they wanna press play or not.    If you would like to support the show you can find it on patreon.com/insects for fun!

This conversation is a deep dive into creativity, artistic inspiration, and what it looks (and feels like) to dedicate yourself to your art.  We flipped the switch today for this episode. Artist, father, aspiring author, and serial entrepreneur Jay Alders is interviewed by fellow artist Tom Shepherd. Jay Alders is a New Jersey shore based visual artist inspired by the beach, nature, ocean culture, romance, spirituality and surrealistic scenes from his mind's eye.  Alders' work has been seen around the world. From covers of magazines and on album art of music legends like Slightly Stoopid, Mishka and Echo Movement to TV appearances and on licensed products on shelves of your favorite stores. Tom is based in Warwickshire, England. The birthplace of Shakespeare. He himself is a full-time artist that focuses on wildlife paintings and landscapes in watercolor and oil. And he spends a lot of time teaching and now on lockdown with his wife and new baby. This interview was originally broadcast on Tom's own podcast, Creative Perspectives Podcast. But it was one of those magical conversations between artists worth sharing. So today, we bring it to you on Shifting Perceptions. The dialogue floated between many topics that a creative person of any medium can relate to. We spoke about the grind and hustle of making it as an artist. And how the landscape of business has changed and evolved since the early days of social media. We talked about the challenges of finding time (and opportunity) as an artist and how to tap into flow states when creating art.  I talk about my personal philosophies and strategies around being a full-time artist and how purpose, intention, and having a mission are at the center of my mindset. I really enjoyed having the roles reversed on this one. I hope you find this inspiring and entertaining as we both did.

The Shifting Perceptions Podcast - Inspiration For Creative Lifestyles

Leave Us A Review Ruby Roth is an acclaimed activist, artist, former teacher, and author whose children's books have been featured in The Huffington Post, Change.org, and Glamour. A passionate advocate for creating a more sustainable world, Ruby has taken her vegan food philosophy to major media outlets such as The Today Show, FOX, ABC, and CNN — and as a plant-based family ourselves, we couldn't be more grateful for her work. Ruby has been vegan since 2003, and she first discovered children's interest in veganism while teaching art at an elementary school. This inspired her to write her book, “That's Why We Don't Eat Animals” in 2009. “That's Why We Don't Eat Animals” was the first non-fiction book of its kind and addresses issues such as factory farming and the effect that meat-eating has on the environment. Most importantly, “That's Why We Don't Eat Animals” explains the emotional lives of animals and gives families an opportunity to sit down and open up a dialogue about sustainable living. Since the runaway success of “That's Why We Don't Eat Animals” Ruby has created five more beautifully illustrated children's books, including; Vegan Is Love, V Is for Vegan, The Help Yourself Cookbook for Kids and the soon to be released, Bad Day. We love this collection of books, not only because it has helped countless parents educate and encourage their children to find a holistic approach to healthy living, but also because it stresses the power of good habits and their ability to change the world for the better.  We got to chat to Ruby about how growing up in a family of holocaust survivors influenced her childhood, what made her want to create such an illuminating series of children's books, and how she manages the inevitable artistic blocks that all creatives face.  The Lasting Effects of Familial Trauma Ruby grew up in a family of Jewish holocaust survivors, and she was candid with us about how this shaped her childhood. As someone who's grandparents were also holocaust survivors, I can relate to Ruby's experience. We shared with each other how our families history permeated our psyche as children, from being proud of our collective resilience to having a deep-seated fear of loss and suffering.  “There's a little bit of an undercurrent, and I wouldn't know otherwise, where it came from, that things could get taken away, or that something bad could happen. You know, there are studies now in, in the field of neuroscience that shows how fear is passed down through generations — even if the children didn't experience the cause of the fear.”  The Importance of Overcoming Resistance  Almost every artist at some point experiences a creative block, it's just part of the process, and can be difficult to navigate out of without conscious effort. Ruby explained to us that she views this resistance and lack of inspiration as something to overcome. One tool she uses to help her stay on track of her “resistance” is to create lists of tasks she needs to complete and to simply remind herself that she is only one person, and there is only so much she can achieve each day.  “There is constant resistance always, in me. And I think in every artist's and creative mind, that is always something that I am overcoming all the time, sometimes it's every day, sometimes multiple times a day. “ All You Can Do Is Try Does anyone truly have everything in life figured out? Whether you're a creative pinpointing your ideal medium and niche, or a parent helping your kids to navigate childhood, most of us are just trying our best. Ruby explained to us the importance of experimenting with your business model and putting yourself out there — even if you aren't sure what the end result might be.  “We are all trying, nobody knows. Even the even top-level people are still experimenting, and aren't sure what's going to work and what isn't. And I often tell myself, you haven't even begun to try. You know, when I'm feeling down or whatever, there are so many things to try and so many avenues to explore that we really cannot let ourselves go down any hole of like, ‘Oh, it's not working. It's not working.' — You haven't even tried, you know?” To hear the rest of our conversation with Ruby, click the player below and prepare to be inspired!

Kara Goldin: Founder & CEO of Hint Water On Building & Scaling A Brand

Leave Us A Review Kara Goldin is a force to be reckoned with. An insanely successful entrepreneur, she is on a mission to improve the health of millions. We spoke to her about her early influences, what fuels her passion for healthy living, and how she stays motivated to inspire herself, and others.   Kara is the CEO and founder of the healthy lifestyle brand, Hint, Inc., based in San Francisco. Their products include fruit infused carbonated beverages that are free of artificial sweeteners and preservatives, naturally infused caffeine-based drinks, and a scented sunscreen spray that is oxybenzone and paraben-free. Throughout her career, Kara has won numerous awards for her contributions to society and her business acumen. Named as one of Fortune's Most Powerful Women Entrepreneurs, as well as one of Forbes' 40 Women to Watch Over 40, Kara is a trailblazing innovator who proves that women can, and will, do it all. This awesomely insightful hour-long episode takes a deep dive into how Kara stumbled upon the benefits of healthy living,  the challenges of juggling family life in the world of business, and the importance of both personal and professional growth. Here are our favorite takeaways from wildly successful entrepreneur and all-around business guru Kara Goldin. Healthy Perception VS Healthy Reality When Kara decided to develop Hint water, she was inspired by her own journey of trying to be a committed H2O drinker. After gaining a wonderful new baby, and a not so wonderful new diet soda habit, Kara realized that her weight was creeping up and her energy levels were severely lacking. On a mission to kick the coke and up her water intake, she committed herself to drink more water. But, like most people, Kara found drinking water became a chore. So she did what any brilliant business innovator would — she solved the problem.  After realizing that adding fruit to her water made it much more palatable, she set about trying to find a product that was similar. Unfortunately, all that she could locate in her local grocery store were pseudo health drinks, with more sugar than most soft drinks contained. Armed with this information, and a desire to provide consumers with a healthy alternative, Kara set about developing a shelf-stable beverage that contained no sweeteners and no artificial preservatives. Cue the birth of Hint. Start From The Beginning A common theme throughout our discussion with Kara was that she's not afraid of diving into something new — because the fun is in the learning process. A self-confessed "scrappy" businesswoman, Kara explained to us the importance of jumping into a venture and educating yourself along the way.  When we asked Kara what significant lessons she had learned from being an entrepreneur, she told us that "Passion trumps experience," which really resonates with us as creatives. Almost every guest we chat to on this podcast has a passion for, and commitment, to what they do; it's not a coincidence; it's a correlation.  "I learned along the way that passion trumps experience any day. And curiosity is another one that's the key. If you can get somebody who just really loves what you're doing and emotionally excited about it, and curious, that's definitely something that is much more important." Don't Put All Of Your Eggs In One Basket. Kara shared with us the importance of diversification as an entrepreneur, and how she almost learned that lesson the hard way. After earning a lucrative deal to have her beverage stocked in Starbucks, Kara received a phone call 18 months into the contract letting her know that Starbucks had decided to go into a different, more profitable, direction. Rather than dwell on the temporary loss, Kara used the disappointment as fuel to help diversify Hint's business model. This quick thinking helped Hint to develop a new business relationship with Amazon's grocery delivery arm, and they quickly became one of Amazon's top-selling products.  "I always tell entrepreneurs to have a quick celebration about that victory, but then figure out how do you actually diversify, you know, so that you've got a lot more like victories and not just be trying to figure out how to make that one account, keep going." Kara is a genuinely passionate and dedicated advocate for safe and clean products. We love how much she stressed the importance of consumer education, and the responsibility of companies to be totally transparent about their products and what they contain. Even with the best will in the world, it can be challenging to decipher past snazzy marketing gimmicks and pseudo-health marketing, so we appreciate companies like Hint, Inc., who care about their consumer and are socially conscious — not just profit-driven.

The Shifting Perceptions Podcast - Inspiration For Creative Lifestyles

Leave Us A Review Todd "Speech" Thomas made his name in the lates 1980s as one of the pioneers of a socially conscious hip-hop movement with his group Arrested Development that he founded in 1988 — an alternative sound to the gangster rap that was permeating the African American music scene at the time.  Their debut album "3 Years, 5 Months and 2 Days in the Life Of..." went four-times Platinum in the U.S., and the title refers to the length of time it took Arrested Development to get a record contract. Hailed by critics as being a trailblazer of afro-centric positivity, 3 Years, 5 Months and 2 Days in the Life Of... won two Grammy awards and was included in a list of 1001 Albums You Must Hear Before You Die. One of our favorite stories that Speech shared with us involves Spike Lee...yes, Spike Lee! Just a few months after the release of their debut album, he was tapped on the shoulder by the legendary film director and asked to compose a song for his upcoming biopic based on the life of Malcolm X. This chance encounter spawned the song Revolution", which was a focal point of the film's soundtrack when it was released in 1992. Never wavering in his social activism and message of unity over the past 30 years, in the 2018 documentary, "16 Bars," Speech helped to mentor and guide four musical artists in the prison system — winning best documentary at the Downtown L.A. Film Festival in the process. We talked to Speech about coming of age in Milwaukee and how his childhood molded his view of the world. From racism to gang crime and the suicide of a close friend, Speech has experienced many personal challenges, yet his positivity still endures. We are insanely stoked to present you with an episode that is as inspirational as the man himself.
