There's a 13-acre nature preserve at Marist College, where I teach environmental journalism, called Fern Tor. Most students don't know about it, so last month I took my class to explore the preserve and to illustrate that, when we go into the woods or on the river, we need to be alert for stories. What is the environment telling us? For example, since tor means rocky outcropping, will we see rocky outcroppings? (We did.) Why are those two trees dying? (Proximity to the train tracks.) Is the preserve large and healthy enough to support animals larger than squirrels? (Yes, judging from the wild turkeys.) Then we came across a corridor of towering white bushes. They were glorious, but the understory is darker. We were in the two-week annual window when Japanese knotweed bloom. It was easy to see why people imported them in the 19th century: They smelled heavenly. The plant was prized for its ability to grow up to 10 feet a year, creating quick privacy fences on gilded estates. But that rapid growth means that Japanese knotweed shades out native species, which soon die. The roots are strong enough to crack home foundations, and the stalks can rise through sidewalks. Cutting it back encourages the roots to send up more stalks. Even if dug up, the plant can reproduce from a single rhizome. That's a story. And here's another: How we talk about problematic plants can be problematic. Many scientists, researchers and journalists would like to change the language we use to discuss invasives. For instance, the preferred scientific name for the gypsy moth is now spongy moth, because gypsy is a slur for Romani people. Spongy moth was chosen because it describes the egg sacs the moths lay. That's becoming the pattern: Rename invasives for a distinguishing characteristic. The Asian Carp is now the Bighead Carp, the Asian Giant Hornet (nicknamed the "murder hornet" because they rip the heads off honeybees) is now the Northern Giant Hornet (because it's from northern Asia). Japanese knotweed is still Japanese knotweed. But, at a recent symposium of local scientists and researchers, we discussed what names could be used instead. Calling it "knotweed" doesn't work because there are other species with knotweed in their names. "Invasive knotweed" was the best we could come up with, but that isn't specific enough for scientific use. Journalists can change the language we use more easily than scientists. If we write about Japanese knotweed "eradicating" native species, or even the need to "fight" invasive species, we're establishing a narrative that anything that isn't from here is dangerous and needs to be destroyed. But not every species that came here only recently causes ecological problems; we use "non-native" to refer to them. Aggressive language also confers a negative agency to species, as if they came here with the express purpose of laying waste. It's not the plants' fault they're here, they were brought by people. The problem is us. Even "invasive" has negative connotations, but no one has been able to come up with a suitable replacement ("Colonizing species"?). What can we do? A scientist I interviewed years ago explained that the problem with invasive species is that they transform thriving and diverse ecosystems into monocultures, making them more vulnerable to outside threats. For an ecosystem, strength comes from diverse species mutually thriving and supporting each other. That's a story worth telling.

Vegetarians avoid animal products for many reasons, from concerns over animal treatment and slaughtering practices to the meat industry's climate impacts. Methane from cows and other livestock contribute about 15% of all greenhouse gas emissions. There have been plant-based alternatives on the market for awhile now, but another method has quietly gained steam over the past decade: meat grown in a lab, using cultured cells. This past June, the U.S. Department of Agriculture approved two companies—Eat Just and Upside—to grow and sell cultivated chicken products in the U.S. Lab-developed beef will likely be next, while some companies are even working on cultivated pet food meat. (Lab-grown mouse meat kibble, anyone?) But will growing tissue in a lab actually reduce greenhouse gas emissions, and … will people even want to eat it? Joining Ira to discuss this beefy topic is Casey Crownhart, climate reporter at the MIT Technology Review, who talks about how this kind of meat is made in a lab, the challenges the industry faces, and what lab-grown beef patty tastes like. How Rising Temperatures Are Shifting The Ground Beneath Chicago As global temperatures rise, cities are typically hotter than rural areas. Tall buildings trap heat and temperatures don't drop nearly as low at night. Out of sight, just below the surface, it's also getting hotter. Scientists are beginning to document the unexpected consequences of underground climate change. A new study measuring the phenomenon used sensors to track increasing temperatures underground in Chicago and map how the earth has shifted beneath the city as a result. Ira talks with the lead researcher of the study, Dr. Alessandro Rotta Loria, assistant professor of civil and environmental engineering at Northwestern University, based in Chicago, Illinois. A Fish By Any Other Name: Inside The Effort To Bring ‘Copi' To Dinner People who live near freshwater rivers or lakes are likely familiar with Asian Carp. The fish are not native to the U.S., but over the last few decades their populations have exploded in waterways like the Mississippi River Basin and the Illinois River. Over the last few years, there's been a major PR campaign to move away from the name Asian Carp, in favor of a new name: “Copi.” The reason is two-fold: First, it joins a general trend of moving species' names away from nationalistic associations, considering anti-Asian hate crimes during the COVID-19 pandemic. The other goal is to make the fish sound more delicious—creating a market that would incentivize fishing the Copi, hopefully reducing their populations. Joining Ira to talk about this is Jim Garvey, director of fisheries, aquaculture and aquatic sciences at Southern Illinois University in Carbondale, Illinois. Thanks To A Mesozoic Hot Spot, We Finally Know How Old The Utahraptor Is Sometimes Jim Kirkland wishes he had been alive 150 years ago. That's when the golden age of North American dinosaur discovery began, and early titans of paleontology crisscrossed the Rocky Mountains unearthing dozens of new species that became household names, from the Stegosaurus to the Brontosaurus to the Triceratops. But a close second to that era is what Kirkland gets to see these days in Utah. “I am doing that kind of discovery right now,” Kirkland said. “I'm just lucky to be alive.” Kirkland, Utah's state paleontologist, uncovered and named the Utahraptor in 1993. The deadly predator became the official state dinosaur in 2018. To read the rest, visit sciencefriday.com. To stay updated on all-things-science, sign up for Science Friday's newsletters.

More than one hundred people have held the colloquial title of “czar” in the U.S. federal government, from the commonly-known drug czars to the COVID-19 czars of recent vintage. The proliferation of czars has ebbed and flowed over the years, with Barack Obama being accused of having more than three dozen czars by his political opponents. Since, the term has fallen off a bit.

White House Declares Monkeypox Outbreak A Public Health Emergency The Biden administration declared the monkeypox outbreak a public health emergency on Thursday. Earlier in the week the White House appointed Robert Fenton, regional administrator at FEMA to direct the federal government's response to the monkeypox outbreak, along with a deputy director from the CDC. This comes after criticism from activists and public health experts, who have said that the federal government has been dragging its feet on access to vaccines, testing and treatment for the virus. Ira talks with Tim Revell, deputy United States editor for New Scientist, about the latest monkeypox updates and other top science stories including; new research into the shape of the human brain; how hand gestures can improve zoom calls and a plant that harnesses the power of a raindrop to gulp down insects. New Steps Toward a Vaccine For Cancer Vaccines have long been used to prevent infection from viruses. But now, scientists are working on a different kind of vaccine—one that targets cancer. Dr. Kai Wucherpfennig is working on a cancer vaccine that would target tumors that tend to spread quickly and are resistant to treatment, like melanoma and triple negative breast cancer. This type of vaccine is intended to be used after a patient has had their tumor removed. The goal is to prevent the spread of cancer cells to other parts of the body, which is called metastasis. So far, this type of cancer vaccine is effective in animals, and the results were recently published in the journal Nature. Ira talks with Dr. Kai Wucherpfennig, chair of cancer immunology and virology at the Dana-Farber Cancer Institute and professor of neurology at Harvard Medical School, about his latest research into cancer vaccines, and how recent advances in understanding the immune system has jump-started research into new types of cancer immunotherapies. Restoring A Sensitive Ecosystem, One Wildflower At A Time The New England blazing star is more than just a pretty blossom: it's an integral part of a globally-rare ecosystem called a “sandplain grassland.” Just like the name suggests, sandplain grasslands have sandy soil with tall grass, no trees and an exceptionally high number of rare plant and animal species. That includes plants like the New England blazing star, an important food source for various grassland insects. Today volunteers would plant 1,000 of them to help restore Bamford Preserve, a 60-acre parcel of sandplain grassland on Martha's Vineyard. As climate change threatens both human health and the natural world, experts say that protecting biodiversity hotspots like this one will offer the most bang-for-the-buck — protecting threatened species while offering other ecosystem benefits, like open space and flood protection.

After years of rapid growth, experts are trying everything they can to push back the leading edge of invasive Asian carp in the Illinois River. Their most recent strategy? A new name.
Ecologists have been warning about Asian Carp for decades. The invasive species has infiltrated our waterways and threatens the Great Lakes ecosystem. One way to get them out? Eat them. That's why Illinois officials have renamed the fish “Copi,” which comes from its copious numbers. The goal is to make it more palatable, but does the fish actually taste good? The City Cast team cooks up some Copi burgers, and producer Simone Alicea talks with Lincoln Park fishmonger Dirk Fucik about whether he thinks the name change will make a difference in our ecology. Here are some other places you can find Copi to eat. Did you know eating Copi is on our Summertime Chi Bucket List challenge?

In many parts of the U.S., political partisanship and climate change pose challenges for environmental progress. Meanwhile, the Great Lakes have shown to be a place for rare bipartisan support for investing in clean water and healthy communities. Also, climate change could offer silver linings for the region, such as a longer growing season for agriculture and as a refuge for people migrating from impacts like drought or sea level rise. These opportunities are discussed in this episode with Joel Brammeier, President and CEO of the Alliance for the Great Lakes. Joel also talks about progress in cleaning up highly polluted areas, combating invasive species like Asian Carp, and engaging communities in shaping water projects.waterloop is a nonprofit media outlet focused on solutions and science.

My opening guest this week is Drew YoungeDyke from the National Wildlife Federation. Drew has an update on Asian Carp and then talks about his new found passion for tying pike and musky flies. Then Ben Nielsen of Showspan talks about their big Ultimate Sport Show in Grand Rapids.
*Cook County Sheriff joins John to discuss the serious flaws that exist in the electronic monitoring system. *Marc Smith of the National Wildlife Federation discusses the money provided by the US Army Corp of Engineers to combat Asian Carp in Lake Michigan. *Steve Bernas of the Better Business Bureau tells you how to avoid being scammed while signing up for the free at-home Covid tests. *Alisa Kaplan of Reform for Illinois breaks down the complicated question of whether politicians should be allowed to use campaign funds for their legal defense. *Plus, Attorney Nick Akerman draws a parallel between the SCOTUS decision against Trump and the one made against Richard Nixon.
Angie Yu, founder and president of Kentucky-based Two Rivers Fisheries, discusses her business of catching, selling and distributing Asian Carp globally; how she used SBA and Exim Bank to fuel her business growth; and where she sees the future of carp as an industry.
To solve climate change, we need to do more than cut emissions. Almost all optimistic climate forecasts rely either on negative emissions or finding a way to mask the effects of emissions. In other words, carbon capture or some form of geoengineering. But of course, these are controversial, risky solutions. And the same can be said for other modern conservation projects, such as electrifying a river to keep out Asian Carp, or using gene-editing to combat an invasive species. These initiatives represent a new kind of environmentalism, which focuses less on reversing past human action and more on protecting the planet through more action. Today's episode discusses this new approach with Elizabeth Kolbert. Elizabeth is a Pulitzer Prize-winning writer at The New Yorker, as well as the author of several books, the most recent of which is https://www.amazon.com/dp/B08DMWR6BP/ref=dp-kindle-redirect?_encoding=UTF8&btkr=1 (Under a White Sky: The Nature of the Future), released this past February.
