    In this episode of our “Ocean's Natural Cleaning Crew” series, marine scientist Erik Wurz reveals how sponges filter water, recycle nutrients, and quietly sustain marine lifeMost of us think of ocean protection in terms of visible action: removing nets, collecting waste, monitoring habitats. But beneath the surface, nature has its own clean-up teams: organisms that filter water, recycle nutrients, and make marine ecosystems possible.In this episode of our series on marine life that helps keep the ocean clean, we meet one of its most overlooked workers: the sponge.Marine biologist Erik Wurz (University of Helsinki) takes us into a world most people never notice: animals that can look like paper sheets, chimneys, or giant vases, quietly pumping water through their bodies day and night.A football-sized sponge, he explains, could filter up to 30,000 liters of seawater per day, removing bacteria, particles, and dissolved matter and releasing ultra-clean water back into the ocean. But their role goes far beyond filtration.By transforming microscopic organic material into edible particles, sponges effectively kick-start marine food webs, making energy available to fish, invertebrates, and entire ecosystems. Without them, many marine habitats would struggle to sustain life.  In some parts of the deep sea, they even form vast “animal forests,” structures that provide shelter, breeding grounds, and feeding platforms for countless species.And yet, despite their importance, sponges remain largely invisible in public imagination  overshadowed by more charismatic marine animals. That's something Erik hopes to change: “I hope this podcast helps make sponges cool.”The conversation also explores how climate change, sediment disturbance, and bottom trawling can disrupt sponge ecosystems with long-term consequences for fisheries, ocean health, and even potential biomedical discoveries hidden within sponge microbiomes.If Healthy Seas teams remove debris in marine habitats, sponges do something incredibly remarkable too — continuously and silently — by filtering, recycling, and sustaining the ocean from within.This episode invites us to look again at the seabed and many other places and notice the quiet workers already keeping it alive.Healthy Seas is a marine conservation organization whose mission is to tackle the ghost fishing phenomenon and turn this waste into an opportunity for a more circular economy. They do this through clean-ups, prevention, education, and working with partners who recycle and repurpose this material.

    How would we eat if animals had rights? A standard assumption is that our food systems would be plant-based. But maybe we should reject this assumption. Indeed, this book argues that a future non-vegan food system would be permissible on an animal rights view. It might even be desirable. In Food, Justice, and Animals: Feeding the World Respectfully (Oxford University Press, 2023), Josh Milburn questions if the vegan food system risks cutting off many people's pursuit of the 'good life', risks exacerbating food injustices, and risks negative outcomes for animals. If so, then maybe non-vegan food systems would be preferable to vegan food systems, if they could respect animal rights. Could they? The author provides a rigorous analysis of the ethics of farming invertebrates, producing plant-based meats, developing cultivated animal products, and co-working with animals on genuinely humane farms, arguing that these possibilities offer the chance for a food system that is non-vegan, but nonetheless respects animals' rights. He argues that there is a way for us to have our cake, and eat it too, because we can have our cow, and eat her too.

    Animals can hibernate, slowing down most metabolic functions — heart rate, blood flow, brain activity, and body temperature — then waking as if nothing happened. Humans have never done this, but what if they could? Could hibernation extend life or even save it?  Dr. Sanjay Gupta explores global research into the molecular mechanics of hibernation and how these abilities might one day help fight cancer, prevent heart disease, treat depression, and even enable travel to Mars.

    On a recent kayaking trip, CrowdScience listener Lanier sliced through his right thumb, putting it out of action for a while. This made life difficult, as he couldn't button his shirt, tie his shoelaces or type efficiently on his smartphone. Missing the use of his thumb made him wonder: since opposable thumbs are so advantageous to those of us who have them, why didn't they evolve in more species? Host Marnie Chesterton unpicks the evolution of our own unique thumbs with the help of paleoanthropologist Tracy Kivell, learning how our grip compares to that of other animals. We discover why mammals like horses and dogs have no use for thumbs, and why we humans don't have opposable big toes. Meanwhile, at Taronga Zoo in Sydney, Australia, senior keepers Tarryn Williams Clow and Bec Russell-Cook introduce us to two different marsupials. Humphrey the koala has not one but two thumbs on each hand. Why did koalas develop this anatomical quirk when their closest living relative, the wombat, has spade-like digits? Dr Mark Eldridge from the Australian Museum shares his hypothesis. And what if we, too, had another thumb? Marnie tries on a robotic Third Thumb, built by designer Dani Clode. Dani has collaborated with neuroscientists from the Plasticity Lab at the University of Cambridge. She tells us what the Third Thumb has revealed about the human brain and how we control our digits.

    This is Part 4 of our conversation with Dr Susan Friedman. Dr Friedman is one of our favorite guests on this podcast. She's a professor emeritus in the psychology department at Utah State University. She's been a long-time member of the Clicker Expo Faculty and she runs the very popular on-line course Behavior Works: Learning and Living with Animals. In Part 1 Susan shared with us her most recent project - the Behavior Works Zoo School which you can read about at BWZS.org. We talked about why teams matter. In Part 2 the conversation centered around how to develop great working teams. We talked about what it means to be a leader. How do you maintain control and support a creative, generative team? Susan discussed ways to maintain healthy teams. In Part 3 we talked about influence. Susan reminded us that we have evolved to be influenced by our environment. To build an effective team you need to get the explanation for a person's behavior out of the inside of the person and into the environment where it belongs. To use Susan's example: instead of talking about what a jerk someone is, we should be looking at how the environment selected for that jerky behavior and how the team can change the environment to change that jerky behavior. To build a good team you commit to the science of behavior. Part 4 takes us to an in-depth look at what it means to be a teacher. Teaching is not an opportunity to show someone what you know. It's an opportunity to influence Susan stressed the great need for mentors. To stay on only the life long learning path and not become a mentor is a huge loss We discussed imposter syndrome, defining it and then setting it aside as a concern. As Susan said, you only need to be one or two chapters ahead of your students. I added my favorite definition of a teacher - a teacher is someone who started before you. You don't have to be THE expert and have all the answers because nobody has all the answers. How do you know when you're ready? You ask your mentors. And remember, one of the best ways to learn is to teach. When you can clearly explain something to someone else, you know you understand that piece. You own it. When you explain it to a second person, you may well discover that your first set of instructions aren't enough. Each learner is unique. You're learning flexibility, creativity. You're discovering new details that make the instructions better and expand your own understanding of the work. Teaching is such a great way to learn. Susan provides a strong nudge to the lifelong learners to get out there and teach.

    For years, the strange moments were easy to dismiss. A laugh where no one stood. A sound from a clock that hadn't worked in decades. Footsteps that passed through empty rooms and never left a trace behind. Each incident could be explained away on its own—at least, that's what everyone insisted.What made it harder to ignore was how often it followed. Different houses. Different countries. Different stages of life. Wherever she stayed for long enough, the same patterns returned: movement without a source, sounds with intention, the unmistakable feeling of being noticed.Friends heard it too. Animals reacted. Doors moved. Drawers rattled. And then one night, someone stood beside the bed and spoke as if they already knew her.No threats. No violence. Just presence.Whether it was something tied to family, place, or the person herself remains unclear. What lingers is the question she's been left with ever since—why does it keep finding her?#RealGhostStories #Paranormal #HauntedHouse #UnexplainedFootsteps #CreepyEncounters #GhostStory #SpiritActivity #UnseenPresence #TrueParanormal #SomethingFollowedHerLove real ghost stories?
