In this episode, I talk to Eliot Schrefer about his book Queer Ducks (and Other Animals): The Natural World of Animal Sexuality (Katherine Tegen Books, 2022). A quiet revolution has been underway in recent years, with study after study revealing substantial same-sex sexual behavior in animals. Join celebrated author Eliot Schrefer on an exploration of queer behavior in the animal world—from albatrosses to bonobos to clownfish to doodlebugs. In sharp and witty prose—aided by humorous comics from artist Jules Zuckerberg—Schrefer uses science, history, anthropology, and sociology to illustrate the diversity of sexual behavior in the animal world. Interviews with researchers in the field offer additional insights for readers and aspiring scientists. Queer behavior in animals is as diverse and complex—and as natural—as it is in our own species. It doesn't set us apart from animals—it bonds us even closer to our animal selves. Eliot Schrefer is a New York Times-bestselling author, has twice been a finalist for the National Book Award for Young People's Literature, received the Stonewall Honor for best LGBTQIA+ teen book, and received the Printz Honor for best young adult book from the ALA. His science writing has appeared in Discover, Sierra, USA Today, Nautilus, and The Washington Post Magazine. He has an M.A. in Animal Studies from NYU, is on the faculty of the Hamline MFA for writing for young people, and lives with his husband in New York City.

The Future of Everything presented by Stanford Engineering

Materials scientist and physicist Guosong Hong is an expert in getting materials to do remarkable things. Recently, he and collaborators used a common food dye found in snack chips to turn living tissue transparent, allowing light to penetrate through skin and muscle. Hong is now working to realize a new age of medical imaging that lets doctors see deep into the body – without surgery. It's a miracle of physics but it could change medicine, Hong tells host Russ Altman on this episode of Stanford Engineering's The Future of Everything podcast.Have a question for Russ?

Join us for a fascinating conversation on biblical imagery. Dr. Michael Seufert, pastor at Mission OPC in St. Paul, Minnesota, and author of the dissertation Of Beasts and Men: A Study of Genesis 49 in Light of Iconography, Metaphor, and Animal Studies, guides us through the rich tapestry of ancient Near Eastern hero culture and its implications for understanding Scripture. We explore Genesis 49, Jacob's poetic blessing, and its striking use of animal metaphors, unpacking themes of violence, power, and divine faithfulness. Dr. Seufert highlights the ambivalence in biblical heroism, contrasting the lion-like strength of Judah with the paradoxical power of the Lamb in Revelation. Dan Svendsen, pastor of First OPC in South Holland, Illinois, also provides his perspective as a preacher immersed in the narratives of 1 Samuel. Together, we examine how the stories of David and Judah resonate with biblical themes of leadership, humility, and redemption, offering additional depth and richness to our understanding of hero culture in the Bible. With insights into the cultural, theological, and practical applications of these themes, we discuss how the church today can embrace the counterintuitive way of weakness modeled by Christ. This collaborative discussion bridges rigorous scholarship and pastoral application, offering profound encouragement for the Christian life.

Wykład Dariusza Gzyry, Kawiarnia Naukowa 1, 14 marca 2019 [1h20min] https://wszechnica.org.pl/wyklad/czy-jednostki-sa-odpowiedzialne-za-masowe-wykorzystanie-zwierzat/ Etyk, działacz społeczny i weganin przedstawia mechanizmy społeczne i psychologiczne, które stoją za przyzwoleniem na zabijanie i wykorzystanie zwierząt Wykorzystanie zwierząt przez przemysł mięsny, mleczarski czy jajcarski nieodłącznie wiąże się z ich zabijaniem i cierpieniem. Większość ludzi ten fakt jednak wypiera, albo uznaje za niepodważalną normę. Jakie mechanizmy społeczne i psychologiczne za tym stoją opowiedział w Kawiarni Naukowej 1a etyk, działacz społeczny i weganin z dwudziestoletnim stażem Dariusz Gzyra. Etyk James Serpell w książce "W towarzystwie zwierząt" opisał mechanizmy, które stoją za ludzką akceptacja dla eksploatacji i zabijania zwierząt. Zaliczył do nich odgradzanie, ukrywanie, fałszywy wizerunek i przeniesienie winy. Większość ludzi nie przebywa ze zwierzętami, które zjada (ogradzanie). Rzeźnie nie znajdują się w centrach miast, w związku z czym społeczeństwo nie styka się też z ich cierpieniem (ukrywanie). Zwierzęta dodatkowo są negatywnie nacechowane w języku (fałszywy wizerunek). Za ich uśmiercanie odpowiedzialne są delegowane do tego jednostki (przeniesienie winy). Psycholog i obrońca praw zwierząt Rychard D. Ryder ukuł pojęcie szowinizm gatunkowy, określające postawę stawiającą interesy gatunku ludzkiego nad interesami innych gatunków. Psycholożka Melanie Joy, autorka książki „Why we love dogs, eat pigs and wear cows – An introduction to carnism” (“Dlaczego kochamy psy, jemy świnie i ubieramy się w krowy – Wstęp do karnizmu”), zdefiniowała pojęcie karnizmu. Oznacza ono system przekonań, który pozwala człowiekowi na zjadanie jednych gatunków zwierząt, a innych nie. Dariusz Gzyra podczas wykładu opowiada o tych oraz innych mechanizmach, które stoją za przyzwoleniem człowieka na zabijanie i wykorzystanie zwierząt. Dariusz Gzyra – filozof, działacz społeczny, publicysta. Wykładowca kierunku antropozoologia na Uniwersytecie Warszawskim. Członek Polskiego Towarzystwa Etycznego.

**Discussion begins at 9:30**Plum Island is a 3 mile by 1 mile island isolated off the coast of New York.  It is home to a lab run by the Department of Homeland Security and Department of Agriculture.  The lab claims to be dedicated to the study of disease in animal livestock.  They claim that in compliance with Nixon's 1969 order, there is no offensive bioweapons research taking place there.  Instead, they argue, the goal is to focus on protecting the US against the introduction of animal diseases.  Their principal focus, they allege, is to prevent foot and mouth disease, which has not occurred in the US since 1929.  The island can only be accessed by military ferry which is escorted by armed guards, and personnel are not permitted to have pets or spend time around animals due to the inherent risk of disease spread.  While the government maintains that there is no bioweapons research happening there, evidence exists that discredits their claims.  In fact, one of the primary goals of the lab when it was first developed by Nazi scientist Erich Traub, was to research the use of ticks as bioweapons.  Since that time, people have argued that the lab is responsible for the development and spread of tickborne illnesses, including Lyme Disease and the African Swine Flu Outbreak in Cuba.  Is the government performing innocent studies to limit the spread of animal transmitted infections?  Or are they performing harmful biologic research under the guise of benign animal studies?Send us a Text Message.Support the Show.Theme song by INDA

Religious stories and symbolism very often feature animals of all kinds. Over the last few decades, scholars have taken more notice of these non-human actors that often play an important role in religious belief and practice. Today's conversation features Arthur Walker-Jones and Suzanna Millar, the co-editors of a new book at the intersection of Animal Studies and Biblical Studies entitled Ask the Animals: Developing a Biblical Animal Hermeneutic. Our discussion explores the ways that we think about the appearance of animals in Biblical texts and considers, more generally, new approaches to understand the confluence of animals and religion.

Now it's too late for you and your white horse. What do white horses, foxes, vultures, and wolves all have in common? They all show up in our favorite Taylor Swift songs! This week, we're looking to understand how Taylor Swift uses animals in her lyrics, through the lens of animal studies! Jenn takes us back to medieval times to help us understand the origins of the white horse and what that means for “White Horse” (Fearless, 2008). Then Jodi talks to us about the many connotations associated with foxes and vultures, which are referenced in “I know places,” (1989, 2014). And finally, Maansi talks us through the song “Daylight” (Lover, 2014) where there are implications of the animalistic concept of hibernation, and also references to wolves.  Mentioned in this episode:  Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets by J.K.

In this ‘Grad Review' Claudia talks to Virginia Thomas and Darren Chang, two early career researchers interested in animals and politics. Together they unpack synergies, tensions, and omissions that emerged in the 6th Season of The Animal Turn podcast. They discuss the multiple scales at which politics is practiced and can be considered, the crisis of imagination that potentially exists among the animal advocacy movement as well as some of the conceptual development being done by scholars that can create space for more just, multispecies futures. Date Recorded: 15 December 2023.  Darren Chang is a PhD candidate in the Department of Sociology and Criminology, and a member of the Sydney Environment Institute, at the University of Sydney. His research interests broadly include interspecies relations under colonialism and global capitalism, practices of solidarity, kinship, and mutual aid across species in challenging oppressive powers, social movement theories, and multispecies justice.Through political (and politicised) ethnography at animal sanctuaries, Darren's PhD research project explores potential alignments and tensions between animal and other social and environmental justice movements. The multispecies dimension of this project also considers the place, positions, and subjectivities of nonhuman animals in relation to anthropogenic social movements. Virginia Thomas is an environmental social scientist with a PhD in Sociology. She is interested in people's interactions with their environment and with other animals. Virginia's work explores the social and ethical questions in human-animal relationships. She is currently a research fellow on the Wellcome Trust funded project ‘From Feed the Birds to Do Not Feed the Animals' which examines the drivers and consequences of animal feeding. This leads on from her previous research which examined human-animal relations in the media (as part of zoonotic disease framing) and in rewilding projects (in relation to biopolitics and human-animal coexistence).

Krithika Srinivasan joins Claudia on the show to talk about re-animalization, a concept that challenges the dominant ways in which human wellbeing are framed. Re-Animalization compels one to think about how development is predicated on logics of protection and sacrifice, expanding notions of longevity, and a reduction of risk.

Claudia launches Season 6 by talking to Will Kymlicka about politics. They discuss how animals remain largely sidelined in political philosophical thought, as compared to other areas of ethics and social theory. Will delves into three different models for how to bring animals into politics: politics “on behalf of” animals, where humans represent animals; politics “by” animals, where wild animals exercise self-government; and politics “with” animals, where humans and animals do politics together and co-author decisions. As examples of joint politics, they discuss recent efforts to share power with domesticated animals in farmed animal sanctuaries, in the family and in the workplace. Date Recorded: 30 September 2023.  Will Kymlicka is the Canada Research Chair in Political Philosophy in the Philosophy Department at Queen's University in Kingston, Canada, where he has taught since 1998. He is the co-author with Sue Donaldson of Zoopolis: A Political Theory of Animal Rights, published by Oxford University Press in 2011, and now translated into German, French, Spanish, Japanese, Turkish, Dutch, Chinese, Korean, and Polish. Zoopolis argues that animals belong at the heart of democratic political theory - defending rights of citizenship for domesticated animals and sovereignty rights for wild animals – and its ideas have helped launch the recent `political turn' in animal ethics. Will and Sue have continued developing their model of a zoopolis, and its implications for animal advocacy, legal reform, and alliances with other social justice movements. Their recent work has appeared in Politics and Animals; The Philosophy and Politics of Animal Liberation;  Journal of Animal Ethics; Canadian Perspectives on Animals and the Law; the Oxford Handbook of Animal Studies. Will co-directs the Animals in Philosophy, Politics, Law and Ethics research group at Queen's University, including its postdoctoral fellowship program, and teaches courses in animals and political theory and in animals and the law.   Featured: Zoopolis: A Political Theory of Animal Rightsby Sue Donaldson and Will KymlickaDoing Politics with Animals by Sue Donaldson and Will Kymlicka, forthcoming in Social ResearchLocating animals in political philosophy by Will Kymlicka and Sue Donaldson Animal publics: Accounting for heterogeneity in political life by Gwendlyn Blue and Melanie Rock.Thank you to Animals in Philosophy, Politics, Law and Ethics (A.P.P.L.E) for sponsoring this podcast, Jeremy John for the logo, Gordon Clarke for the bed music, Christiaan Mentz for his editing work, and Virginia Thomas for the animal highlight. A.P.P.L.E Animals in Philosophy, Politics, Law and Ethics (A.P.P.L.E)Disclaimer: This post contains affiliate links.

In this 174th episode of the Live Healthy Be Well podcast, Jeffrey Smith discusses the potential health risks associated with genetically modified organisms (GMOs) and the herbicide Roundup. He emphasizes the connection between leaky gut syndrome, autoimmune diseases, allergies, inflammation, cancer, heart disease, Alzheimer's, Parkinson's, and autism, suggesting that the prevalence of leaky gut may be linked to the consumption of BT corn, which contains the BT toxin. In addition, Jeffrey also speculates that BT genes from GMOs could transfer to gut bacteria, turning them into toxin-producing factories within the digestive tract.  Roundup, the primary herbicide sold by Bayer/Monsanto, which contains glyphosate, may contribute to digestive disorders, cancer, non-alcoholic fatty liver disease, and reproductive issues.  Many studies show harmful effects on animals exposed to GMOs and Roundup.

Notes from Your Acupuncturist: Conversations on Acupuncture, Alternative Medicine and Holistic Health

Today on the podcast I'm answering another frequently asked question about acupuncture: How does it work? Now, I love talking about qi and meridians and Chinese Medicine theory, but today's show is all about exploring the science of acupuncture.Patients know that acupuncture works, and researchers are keen to understand its physiological effects on the body, so acupuncture has been extensively studied, to help scientists and doctors understand how and why it works. In this episode, I'll talk you through the scientific research in a few key areas. Specifically, acupuncture has been shown to:* Increase blood flow in key arteries and improve circulation throughout the body* Reduce inflammation* Regulate the nervous system, including the autonomic nervous system (ANS), which encompasses sympathetic (fight or flight) and parasympathetic (rest and digest) modes* Increase endorphins, our body's natural painkillers and “feel-good” chemicals* Regulate the endocrine system, including blocking chronic, stress-induced elevations of the hypothalamus-pituitary-adrenal axis hormones* Modulate brain wavesThe physiological effects are well-researched and documented. So the next time someone tells you acupuncture is unscientific…just have them listen to this episode.Thanks to AudioCoffee for the music in this episode, and endless love and gratitude to my paid subscribers for contributing to the sustainability of my work!Notes from Your Acupuncturist is a reader- and listener-supported publication.

And in the process of losing weight, mindset also plays a very important role. Contrary to popular belief, calorie deficit isn't always the way go because in the process, you lose protein, nutrients, and eventually muscle. Losing fat is a battle of hunger; everyone wants to eat less but why can't we all just eat less? And According to Dr. Sean O'Mara the best way to losing visceral fat is eliminating process food, sprinting, and lifting weights. The Right DietThe Sapiens diet is not down one path. It's not paleo, keto, carnivore, or Whole30, it's somewhere in between and based on ancestral health. It's all about what works, what doesn't, and why. A lot of it comes down to nutrient density for a diet to work long-term. It's protein, nutrients, amino acids, vitamins, minerals, and energy. Your body doesn't need a name, but it needs nutrients and the correct amount of energy from fat and carbs. Links and ResourcesInstagramYouTubeMeta-DescriptionFilmmaker, podcaster, and health coach Brian Sanders goes nerdy on diet culture and the myths and truths behind food and losing weight.Support the show

We revisit our discussions on Orientalism, Animal Studies and Print Culture, before jumping into an overview of what Sentimentalism is all about— and how we might read Harry Potter and Deathly Hallows as a novel written in that literary tradition.If you like thinking about character development, intersectional feminism and the power (or lack thereof) of the written word, then this episode is for you! We also get a little meta and think through how books become sentimental for a reader.

Professor Thomas Seyfried has published over 150 peer reviewed studies in biology and cancer biology and has verified Nobel Prize Winner Otto Warburg's assertation that cancer is a metabolic disease of the mitochondria, not a genetic disorder. If we misunderstand the origin of the disease, the treatment is going to be wrong as well, and this is exactly what has happened. Ever think about why the cancer rates have tripled in the past 40 years? Well, this is why. Thomas N. Seyfried received his Ph.D. in Genetics and Biochemistry from the University of Illinois, Urbana, in 1976. He did his undergraduate work at the University of New England, where he recently received the distinguished Alumni Achievement Award. He also holds a Master's degree in Genetics from Illinois State University. Thomas Seyfried served with distinction in the United States Army's First Cavalry Division during the Vietnam War and received numerous medals and commendations. He was a Postdoctoral Fellow in the Department of Neurology at the Yale University School of Medicine and then served on the faculty as an Assistant Professor in Neurology. Other awards and honors have come from such diverse organizations as the American Oil Chemists Society, the National Institutes of Health, The American Society for Neurochemistry, the Ketogenic Diet Special Interest Group of the American Epilepsy Society, the Academy of Comprehensive and Complementary Medicine, and the American College of Nutrition. Dr. Seyfried previously served as Chair, Scientific Advisory Committee for the National Tay-Sachs and Allied Diseases Association and presently serves on several editorial boards, including those for Nutrition & Metabolism, Neurochemical Research, the Journal of Lipid Research, and ASN Neuro, where he is a Senior Editor. Dr. Seyfried is also the author of the book, Cancer as a Metabolic Disease: On the Origin, Management, and Prevention of Cancer (Wiley, 1st ed., 2012).   FOLLOW PROFESSOR SEYFRIED: Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/thomasseyfriedbc/   FOLLOW AND CONTACT ME AT: MY PATREON https://www.patreon.com/AnthonyChaffeeMD Sign up for our 30-day carnivore challenge and group here! https://www.howtocarnivore.com/ ORDER THE CARNIVORE BAR!

Talking To Teens
Ep 199: What the Science Says About Sexual Identity

Talking To Teens

Talking to kids about gender and sexuality isn't easy. Maybe you want to start the conversation but don't know how to approach it, or maybe teens are dropping some terminology about their identity that you don't quite understand. These days, kids seem to have an entirely new language to label their sexual preferences and gender, and it can make parents feel confused or alienated. Not to mention, it can be pretty awkward to discuss sex, no matter who or what our kids are interested in!But starting this conversation signals to kids that you accept them–which can be incredibly powerful. A recent study by the Trevor Project found that 42% of gay teens have considered suicide…and in many of these cases, parents didn't even know their own child was gay. Whether your teen is out and proud or struggling in silence, they'll certainly benefit from an open conversation around sexuality and gender in your home.So how can we get our teens talking about sexuality? Well, we can start by reminding them that it's totally natural! This week, we're sitting down with Eliot Schrefer, author of Queer Ducks (and Other Animals): The Natural World of Animal Sexuality. Eliot is a New York Times bestselling young adult novelist and book reviewer for USA Today. While getting a Masters in Animal Studies at New York University, Eliot learned the fascinating ways that the natural world defies heterosexuality and gender binaries–and decided to write a book about it!In our eye-opening interview, Eliot dives into how various species exhibit homosexuality and gender-bending behaviors in the wild! We also talk about how we can start breaking down heteronormative narratives for our teens, and how we use certain language to help teens feel comfortable opening up about their own gender and sexuality.
