El Parque del Chiribiquete, en la selva amazónica de Colombia, guarda un tesoro milenario que los científicos apenas empiezan a estudiar. Enigmáticos murales rupestres se extienden sobre cientos de metros cuadrados rocosos. Juan José Lozano ha llevado al cine la historia de esta memoria pintada para narrar de otra manera a la Amazonia y sus habitantes. Una coproducción del canal público europeo Arte y el audiovisual público colombiano RTVC Señal Colombia. Juan José Lozano es colombiano de nacimiento y convertido en suizo por errancia. Autor de películas de ficción, de animación y documentales. Una filmografía que indaga en la memoria, la individual y la colectiva. Sus películas han sido presentadas en varios festivales internacionales y en una cincuentena de países. Su último documental es Chiribiquete, filmado en un parque inmenso del mismo nombre, anclado al sur de la selva amazónica colombiana, entre los departamentos del Guaviare y Caquetá Juan José Lozano: “Es un territorio de 42.000 kilómetros cuadrados, articulado alrededor de la Serranía del Chiribiquete, que es una cadena montañosa de unos 350 kilómetros de larga”   RFI: Del tamaño de Cuba o Suiza.   Juan José Lozano: “Exactamente. Treinta veces Bogotá, ese fue el dato que me dio un investigador”. RFI: En ese trozo inmenso de selva abrazado por los ríos Guaviare y Caquetá se levantan unas montañas majestuosas y milenarias. Sobre sus rocas escarpadas se extiende unos murales gigantescos con miles de pinturas rupestres de pigmento rojo que podrían datar de 19.500 años atrás. ¿Cómo llegas tú a esta historia tan fascinante como inédita? Juan José Lozano: “Yo me entero de la existencia de ese sitio en el 2018, cuando es declarado Patrimonio Mixto de la Humanidad por su valor natural y cultural. Y fue fascinante ver las imágenes. ¿Yo decía cómo es posible que hoy en día sigamos descubriendo cosas de esta dimensión y de esta belleza y que no haya sido visto por la ciencia antes? Y una de las respuestas es que durante años nos ocupamos esencialmente del conflicto armado interno y era una zona de difícil acceso”. “El cine que yo hago  trabaja con la memoria y me dije quiero contar qué es Chiribiquete como otra manera de acercarse y descubrir un país diferente. Empecé a documentarme y a contactar a los investigadores que trabajan allí. Y fui armando un proyecto que presenté a la productora francesa Film à la Patte, especializada en documentales científicos, sobre todo arqueológicos, y gracias a ella el proyecto se convirtió en película”.   Chiribiquete, un documental de primeras veces El documental Chiribiquete es en sí mismo una primicia. Esta es la primera vez que se descubren en Colombia este tipo de vestigios en esa selva vasta, llena de secretos, de mitos, de pueblos escondidos, de culturas arrasadas. Y es la primera vez que un documental nos permite conocer el hallazgo. RFI: ¿Por qué se ha tardado tanto?  Antes era difícil, dices. ¿Hay también una negligencia frente al estudio del arte rupestre?     Juan José Lozano: “Primero, el conflicto armado interno nos alejó de esa región. La primera expedición que hubo en el Chiribiquete fue en el año 1991. Desde entonces hasta el 2016, los científicos no pudieron volver allí. Segundo,  tradicionalmente hemos sido negligentes y no hemos visto que Colombia va mucho más allá de Bogotá, de Cali, de Medellín, de las ciudades que están en el eje andino y no hemos sabido mirar la Amazonía. Pero también hay científicos que han dedicado su vida a trabajar allí.  Lo que no ha habido es un acompañamiento sólido institucional importante de parte del Estado. Solo hasta ahora estamos descubriendo que eso es medio país de un valor incalculable y que hay que ponerle cuidado a lo que hay allí”. RFI: O sea que hay que darle gracias a la paz. Por que es a partir del proceso de paz firmado en 2016 que se puede ir a estos lugares y apostar en este tipo de inversión científica, no? Juan José Lozano: “Claro! Pero, ojo, al Parque Chiribiquete no se puede ir porque tiene el acceso restringido”. RFI: ¿Pueden ir los científicos? Juan José Lozano: “Sí, claro, pero no es un sitio abierto al turismo. La salvaguarda de este parque está en manos del ICANH, el Instituto Colombiano de Antropología e Historia y ellos desarrollaron una zona tampón al norte del Parque de Chiribiquete, pegada a la ciudad de San José del Guaviare, donde hay una cadena montañosa chiquita llamada La Serranía de la Lindosa y que cuenta con unos diez o 12 frescos murales inmensos con pictografías muy parecidas a las de Chiribiquete. Ahí la gente sí puede hacer turismo. Es un sitio absolutamente hermoso y hay que ir”.  RFI: Un sitio que también aparece en tu película, cercano a la comunidad de los llamados Huitotos. En diferentes momentos y por fenómenos diversos, estos pueblos han sido diezmados. Al punto que en esta parte de la Amazonia colombiana no hay indígenas. ¿Cuántas familias quedan? Juan José Lozano: “Se calcula que apenas hay unas cinco o seis familias en aislamiento voluntario. Son pueblos que decidieron hace 100 años, huyendo de las guerras del caucho del sur, refugiarse en la Serranía del Chiribiquete. Hay otras familias, dos o tres, que nunca han tenido contacto con la sociedad mayoritaria”. RFI: Lo que les ha permitido sobrevivir. Juan José Lozano: “Sí”. RFI: Un hallazgo de este tipo podría contribuir a una nueva narrativa sobre la llegada del hombre al continente americano. Un relato que otros descubrimientos similares en Suramérica ya han empezado a tejer: el relato que desmiente que los hombres llegaron por el Estrecho de Bering. Juan José Lozano:: “Hace 13.000 años... Esa es la pregunta del millón que se hace la arqueología hoy: ¿Cuándo llegó Homo Sapiens a América y por dónde entró? Hasta los años 1990 existía el Dogma Clovis, desarrollado y avanzado por universidades de Estados Unidos, que decía que hubo solo una ruta de migración. Familias que venían de Siberia, atravesaron el estrecho de Bering, bajaron por lo que hoy es Estados Unidos y se establecieron en un sitio que se llama Clovis, en Nuevo México, donde hay unas evidencias líticas, unas piedras que servían para hacer flechas, datadas en 13.500 años. Todo lo que fuera anterior a esa fecha era negado por el dogma norteamericano hasta comienzos de los años 90, cuando investigaciones muy serias en Chile, Brasil, Perú, mostraron otras evidencias más antiguas y, desde entonces, se empieza a hablar de diferentes rutas de migración en distintos momentos de la historia: 17.000, 18.000, 35.000 años atrás”. “Y es en ese contexto donde aparece la primera datación de científicos colombianos en el Chiribiquete, que es la expedición del 1991-1992 que mencionaba, adelantada por Carlos Castaño Uribe y por Thomas Van der Hammen. Ellos encontraron pedazos de piedra que se habían caído de los paredones pintados. Las enviaron a un laboratorio en la Universidad de Gröningen. Hay dos evidencias una de 22.000 años y otra de 19.500 años. Desafortunadamente, esas fechas no pudieron ser validadas después por otras excavaciones en el lugar. Entonces, la fecha más antigua validada por la ciencia en el Parque de Chiribiquete es de 12.500 años”.    “Lo que quiero decir es que sí hay investigaciones serias apoyadas por con un músculo financiero importante, podríamos escribir páginas importantes de la historia de la arqueología en América”. RFI: También de la identidad de los colombianos porque tu película muestra como la Amazonia está lejos de corresponder a ese estigma de selva virgen poblada por pueblos salvajes. Esta sería la primera vez que un documental le mueve el piso a esa negación racista que hay en Colombia sobre el origen indígena y lo que han sido los indígenas.  Juan José Lozano: “Sin duda, ha habido una mirada colonialista de siglos, una mirada negacionista que se ha concentrado solamente en el eje andino; es decir, en las culturas andinas y de los valles interandinos. Los orfebres siguen siendo el centro de la preocupación de arqueólogos y antropólogos en Colombia. Pero lo que estamos descubriendo, gracias al trabajo de investigadores en Colombia y, sobre todo, en Brasil es que, tal vez, las primeras civilizaciones de lo que llamamos amerindios se establecieron en la Amazonía y que, en algún momento de la historia, por presión demográfica, tal vez, - no se sabe exactamente por qué- esas civilizaciones emigraron y colonizaron la Cordillera de los Andes y crearon las grandes ciudades y los grandes imperios que conocemos”. “Lo que pasa es que en la Amazonía no hay piedra para construir. Entonces no se construyeron pirámides. Pero hoy sabemos que hubo grandes ciudades de más de mil personas. Hubo complejos urbanísticos importantes en donde se sabía utilizar todos los recursos de la tierra, con canalización de agua, y que eso desapareció muy rápidamente con la llegada allí de los europeos en el siglo XVI”. RFI: Y volvemos a las primeras veces. Es también la primera vez que con este documental se logra que se asocien la televisión europea, el excelente canal público franco alemán Arte, con un medio colombiano, RTVC, el audiovisual público. Cuéntanos un poco de esta importante alianza inédita . Juan José Lozano: “Yo llevo 25 años haciendo cine y televisión, trabajando con empresas como Arte o la radiotelevisión suiza, siempre sobre temas de Colombia y es la primera vez que puedo montar una coproducción con un canal colombiano. Aunque desde el comienzo, hace cinco años, nos acercamos con la casa de producción a Señal Colombia, no fue posible que entendieran la importancia de este documental por el valor que tiene el sitio Chiribiquete” ‘Y esa coproducción solo fue posible el año pasado con la llegada de Hollman Morris a la gerencia del canal. Hollman entendió que es una  importante trabajar aliados con el canal de televisión pública por excelencia en Europa, que es Arte, y que Chiribiquete es un sitio importante para los colombianos porque nos permite entender la Amazonía de otra manera, una de las preocupaciones del presidente Gustavo Petro”. “El documental es una coproducción financiera entre esos dos canales. El equipo es franco colombiano, mitad y mitad, y desde el año pasado hacen parte juntos de la aventura”.  RFI: Una aventura que permite que los dos medios públicos, Arte de Europa y RTVC de Colombia, lo difundan al mismo tiempo y, además, desde un lugar inédito: San José del Guaviare que hasta el 2016 era impenetrable. Zona roja, por excelencia. Juan José Lozano: Sí. Las cosas están cambiando en ese país y en los territorios, sobre todo. Esa fue una idea muy bella que surgió en las discusiones con RTVC. Dijimos, no hagamos el lanzamiento del documental en Bogotá, descentralicemos ese tipo de eventos y, además, porque se trata de una historia que viene del territorio. Y, por qué no, desde San José del Guaviare, con la comunidad, con los guías y con las personas que trabajaron con nosotros y nos abrieron la puerta de sus casas para poder hacer el documental”. RFI: ¿Cuándo va a ocurrir eso? Juan José Lozano: Eso va a ser el sábado 14 de junio, Día Europeo de la Arqueología. El documental va a ser difundido también por el canal Arte en su horario de las 21h00 (9 p.m) y al mimo tiempo, (2 p.m. hora de Colombia), por Señal Colombia”.    “Durante el día vamos a tener una serie de eventos en San José del Guaviare, organizados por el Instituto Colombiano de Antropología e Historia (ICANH). Un conversatorio desde el parque de la ciudad con algunos de los investigadores que participaron en el documental y guías y líderes de la región. Se va a instalar una pantalla en el parque para proyectar el documental. Esto hace diez años, por supuesto, era impensable. San José del Guaviare fue durante mucho tiempo la retaguardia del de las Farc y del narcotráfico y era muy difícil entrar allá”.

Bắc Kinh và Matxcơva đẩy mạnh hợp tác ở Bắc Cực, được cho là nơi có 25 % dự trữ dầu khí của thế giới chưa khai thác. Đây cũng là một vị trí chiến lược cho phép rút ngắn lộ trình giao thương hàng hải giữa Nga với Trung Quốc, phục vụ chiến lược xoay trục sang châu Á của tổng thống Vladimir Putin. Chiến tranh Ukraina càng kéo dài, bang giao Nga - Trung càng thắm thiết.  Chủ tịch Trung Quốc là thượng khách của tổng thống Nga Vladimir Putin tại Matxcơva nhân lễ kỷ niệm 80 năm chiến thắng Đức Quốc Xã hôm 09/05/2025.Sau trên dưới 50 lần tiếp xúc kể từ khi hai nhà lãnh đạo này lên cầm quyền, đôi bên phô trương những cử chỉ thân mật của những người bạn « lâu năm », của một mối bang giao « đang ở cấp cao nhất trong lịch sử ». Giới quan sát cho rằng đây là một màn trình diễn có phối hợp của đôi bên vào lúc Nga và phương Tây vẫn đối đầu với nhau về chiến tranh Ukraina, còn Trung Quốc thì đang đọ sức với Hoa Kỳ trong một cuộc chiến thương mại.Bên cạnh những tuyên bố chung « phản đối các biện pháp đơn phương hạn chế trao đổi về mậu dịch và tài chính » toàn cầu-ngụ ý nhắm vào Mỹ và phương Tây, Nga và Trung Quốc cam kết mở rộng việc sử dụng đồng nội tệ trong các giao dịch song phương, để bớt lệ thuộc vào đô la Mỹ. Matxcơva và Bắc Kinh « tăng cường quan hệ kinh tế, thương mại và khoa học công nghệ » đồng thời kêu gọi tránh biến trí tuệ nhân tạo thành một công cụ phục vụ « những tham vọng chính trị và mưu đồ bá quyền ».Trong số các hồ sơ hợp tác song phương, chủ đề nổi cộm hơn cả đó là các chương trình hợp tác Nga-Trung tại Bắc Cực, một khu vực « rất gần với lãnh thổ của Hoa Kỳ ».Cách nay ba năm, phát biểu trên đài truyền hình nhà nước, tổng thống Vladimir Putin đã nhấn mạnh : « Mở rộng hành lang giao thương qua Bắc Cực là rất quan trọng, vì qua đó chúng ta có thể khai thác trọn vẹn tiềm năng xuất khẩu của Nga, hoạt động một cách có hiệu quả, đặc biệt là trong các dịch vụ giao thương với Đông Nam Á ».Chuyên gia về an ninh, quốc phòng Nga Isabelle Facon thuộc Quỹ Nghiên Cứu Chiến Lược của Pháp trong một bài phân tích gần đây (Nga và Trung Quốc tại Bắc Cực : những tính toán hai mặt và bó buộc của Matxcơva) lưu ý : Từ 2016 đôi bên đã « đẩy mạnh hợp tác ở Bắc Cực trong khuôn khổ chương trình Arktika do Matxcơva khởi xướng với mục đích chia sẻ và đẩy mạnh những trao đổi về khoa học kỹ thuật ».Nga thì tìm kiếm các mối đối tác mới, còn Trung Quốc thì muốn mở rộng ảnh hưởng tại một vùng biển được coi là mang tính chiến lược về quân sự-do sát cạnh lãnh thổ Hoa Kỳ, và nhất là về mặt thương mại.Sự hiện diện của tàu phá băng Trung Quốc Tạp chí tài chính Mỹ Forbes tiết lộ từ tháng 7/2024 ba tàu phá băng của Trung Quốc đã được triển khai đến khu vực. Hai tháng sau, Học Viện Hải Quân Hoa Kỳ đưa tin tàu Trung Quốc đi qua « Tuyến Đường Hàng Hải Phương Bắc do Nga kiểm soát. Tàu chở hàng của Nga để bán sang Châu Âu và Châu Á, bất chấp các lệnh trừng phạt Âu Mỹ đã ban hành từ khi tổng thống Putin xâm lược Ukraina ».Tại Bắc Cực, Nga chiếm thế áp đảo, kiểm soát 45 % các vùng nước của Bắc Băng Dương, và 53 % các bờ biển. Vị trí áp đảo này hơn hẳn so với những quốc gia khác trong khu vực như Hoa Kỳ, Canada, Na Uy, Đan Mạch (với hòn đảo Groenland), Phần Lan, Thụy Điển, Iceland. Vào lúc Trái đất đang bị hâm nóng, khối lượng băng tuyết tại đây đã tan 40 % so với thời điểm 1980 các tuyến đường hàng hải và viễn cảnh khai thác tài nguyên càng trở nên hấp dẫn hơn.Để duy trì thế thượng phong, Matxcơva từ hơn chục năm nay đã tìm cách lôi kéo Trung Quốc vào cuộc, bởi tuyến đường hàng hải phương Bắc cho phép thu ngắn đáng kể hành trình đưa hàng hóa của Nga sang Trung Quốc hay châu Âu, thay vì phải đi qua Kênh Đào Suez hay Sừng Châu Phi.Tuần báo Courrier International trích dẫn phân tích của chuyên gia về địa chính trị Viện nghiên cứu Na Uy (Fridtjof Nansen Institute) Andreas Osthagen : « Một số khu vực tại Bắc Cực được cho là rất giàu các tài nguyên mà đến nay chưa được khai thác. Đây là một vùng còn rất nghèo nàn về cơ sở hạ tầng, các cơ sở về năng lượng tại đây còn kém mở mang. Do vậy các tập đoàn công nghiệp quốc tế ngại đến đây hoạt động. Cả khu vực Bắc Cực chưa được khai thác đúng mức (...) Trong khu vực thì không mấy khi có chuyện tranh chấp về lãnh thổ, hay tranh chấp về các đường biên giới và tranh chấp chủ quyền, nhưng phải hiểu Bắc Cực là một không gian mang tính chiến lược cao, chủ yếu liên quan đến vấn đề quyền chủ quyền  (…) Khi NATO tổ chức tập trận chung với các nước liên quan thì lập tức Nga cũng có hành động tương tự tại khu vực này để khẳng định quyền chủ quyền (…) Căng thẳng có phần gia tăng từ khi Phần Lan gia nhập Liên Minh Bắc Đại Tây Dương cho nên Nga càng khẩn trương hơn tìm kiếm các mối liên minh mới. Đầu tiên hết trong số này là Trung Quốc. Về phía Bắc Kinh thì ông Tập Cận Bình muốn mở rộng ảnh hưởng của Trung Quốc trong khu vực cũng như ở khắp nơi trên thế giới. Bắc Kinh đẩy mạnh đầu tư và thúc đẩy dự án con đường tơ lụa qua Bắc Cực. »Lợi ích về tài nguyên Năm 2008, Cơ Quan Địa Chất Hoa Kỳ USGS thẩm định hiện có ít nhất 10 % trữ lượng dầu hỏa và 30 % trữ lượng về khí đốt của thế giới vẫn còn ngủ yên ở Bắc Cực. Vào lúc Trung Quốc vừa là nguồn tiêu thụ năng lượng lớn nhất thế giới, lại vừa dồi dào các phương tiện cả về tài chính lẫn kỹ thuật, hợp tác Nga Trung là kịch bản lý tưởng.Vấn đề đặt ra là tới nay, Nga cũng như 7 quốc gia còn lại bao quanh Bắc Băng Dương đều không có nhiều phương tiện để thăm dò, khai thác các nguồn tài nguyên này, một phần do thời tiết khí hậu khắc nghiệt chưa cho phép, một phần do chính những thẩm định về tiềm năng của khu vực cũng chưa được xác định một cách vững chắc.Trong khi đó, như vừa giải thích, « căng thẳng về địa chính trị gia tăng giữa Mỹ và Nga »,đặc biệt là từ khi Phần Lan gia nhập Liên Minh Bắc Đại Tây Dương, Matxcơva lôi kéo thêm Bắc Kinh về phía mình ở một vùng biển ngay sát cạnh Hoa Kỳ : Eo biển Bering nằm cách Bắc Cực khoảng 100 km về phía nam. Khoảng cách giữa bờ biển ở cực đông của vùng Tchoukota thuộc về nước Nga và vùng duyên hải ở cực tây bang Alaska của Hoa Kỳ chỉ là 85 km.Cho nên, việc cặp bài trùng Nga-Trung Quốc tăng cường hiện diện ngay sát cạnh lãnh thổ và lãnh hải Hoa Kỳ là một yếu tố chiến lược mà cả Matxcơva lẫn Bắc Kinh đều không thể bỏ qua.Một chút nghi kỵ Nga-TrungTuy nhiên, bà Isabelle Facon Quỹ Nghiên Cứu Chiến Lược của Pháp trong bài tham luận trên Đài Quan Sát Bắc Cực đã lưu ý : Thứ nhất Trung Quốc là đối tác quan trọng nhất, nhưng không phải là vị khách duy nhất được tổng thống Vladimir Putin mời tham gia cùng « thăm dò » tài nguyên ở Bắc Cực. Chủ nhân điện Kremlin đã mời từ Ấn Độ đến Hàn Quốc, Nhật Bản đồng hành. Tại thượng đỉnh APEC ở Bali-Indonesia, năm 2013 cũng ông Putin đã mời « các đối tác kinh tế trong khu vực cùng phát triển dự án Tuyến Đường Hàng Hải Phương Bắc ».Thứ nhì, về phía Trung Quốc, ông Tập Cận Bình cũng không đợi đến chiến tranh Ukraina năm 2022 mới quan tâm đến Bắc Cực. Bắc Kinh cũng không chỉ trông cậy vào Nga như « cánh cổng duy nhất mở ra Bắc Băng Dương ».Theo nhà nghiên cứu Isabelle Facon, do nhu cầu tiên thụ năng lượng quá lớn, Bắc Kinh từng « mở rộng bang giao » với các thành viên Hội Đồng Bắc Cực, từ Đan Mạch đến Iceland hay Na Uy. Hành động này khiến Matxcơva hoài nghi và cho rằng Trung Quốc lại áp dụng chiến thuật « chia để trị » và bắt đầu xem Bắc Kinh như một mối thách thức tiềm tàng.Ngày 25/04/2023 Nga và Trung Quốc đã ký kết hiệp ước Mourmansk, tên một hải cảng của Nga hướng ra Bắc Băng Dương. Văn bản này trước hết là « một thông điệp mà Matxcơva và Bắc Kinh gửi tới tất cả các thành viên khác trong Hội Đồng Bắc Cực (vốn đã ngừng liên hệ với Nga từ khi nổ ra chiến tranh Ukraina), đứng đầu là Hoa Kỳ. Thông điệp ấy là « giờ đây, nước Nga đã sẵn sàng thách thức NATO trong khu vực chiến lược và nhạy cảm này », theo ghi nhận của tuần báo The Times.Do vậy, việc lôi kéo Trung Quốc về phía mình ở Bắc Cực chỉ là một sự tiếp nối của chính sách « Chinh phục lại Bắc Cực » mà Matxcơva đã từng bước hình thành từ đầu những năm 2010, có thể là « trước đó nữa ».Nga đang tận dụng việc khai thác Con Đường Hàng Hải Phương Bắc để đưa dầu hỏa nhanh hơn đến tay khách hàng lớn nhất là Trung Quốc. Trong tính toán này, Nga có thêm một đồng minh bất ngờ và quý giá đó là yếu tố thời tiết : do hiện tượng khí hậu bị hâm nóng làm tan băng, giao thương trong vùng biển sát Bắc Cực này càng được thuận lợi.

Thanks to Jayson for suggesting this week's topic, the new "dire wolf"! Also, possibly the same but maybe a different Jayson is the youngest member of the Cedar Springs Homeschool Science Olympiad Team, who are on their way to the Science Olympiad Nationals! They're almost to their funding goal if you can help out.

I'm your host, Kate Shaw. This week we have a suggestion from Jayson, who wants to learn about the so-called “new” dire wolf. Before we get started, a big shout-out to another Jayson, or maybe the same one I'm honestly not sure, who is the youngest member of the Cedar Springs Homeschool Science Olympiad Team. They've advanced to the nationals! There's a link in the show notes if you want to donate a little to help them with their travel expenses. This is a local team to me so I'm especially proud of them, and not to brag, but I've actually met Jayson and his sister and they're both smart, awesome kids. Now, let's find out about this new dire wolf that was announced last month. In early April 2025, a biotech company called Colossal Biosciences made the extraordinary claim that they had produced three dire wolf puppies. Since dire wolves went extinct around 13,000 years ago, this is a really big deal. Before we get into the details of Colossal's claim, let's refresh our memory about the dire wolf. We talked about it in episode 207, so I've taken a lot of my information from that episode. According to a 2021 study published in Nature, 5.7 million years ago, the shared ancestor of dire wolves and many other canids lived in Eurasia. Sea levels were low enough that the Bering land bridge, also called Beringia, connected the very eastern part of Asia to the very western part of North America. One population of this canid migrated into North America while the rest of the population stayed in Asia. The two populations evolved separately until the North American population developed into what we now call dire wolves. Meanwhile, the Eurasian population developed into many of the modern species we know today, and some of those eventually migrated into North America too. By the time the gray wolf and coyote populated North America, a little over one million years ago, the dire wolf was so distantly related to it that even when their territories overlapped, the species avoided each other and didn't interbreed. We've talked about canids in many previous episodes, including how readily they interbreed with each other, so for the dire wolf to remain genetically isolated, it was obviously not closely related at all to other canids at that point. The dire wolf looked a lot like a grey wolf, but researchers now think that was due more to convergent evolution than to its relationship with wolves. Both lived in the same habitats: plains, grasslands, and forests. The dire wolf was slightly taller on average than the modern grey wolf, which can grow a little over three feet tall at the shoulder, or 97 cm, but it was much heavier and more solidly built. It wouldn't have been able to run nearly as fast, but it could attack and kill larger animals. The dire wolf went extinct around 13,000 years ago, but Colossal now claims that they're no longer extinct. There are now exactly three dire wolves in the world, two males and a female,

Episode 16 Top Stories: Bering Land Bridge Discovery, Thermal Imager Crackdown, Western New York TrackwayInvestigators Mike Luci, Chuck Larson, Chris Cyrus, and Tobi Crum bring you up to speed on the latest developments in bigfoot research, reports, and news. Episode 16 breaks down a huge discovery scientists made in the former Bering Land Bridge that could challenge a long-held bigfoot theory. With Oregon's crackdown on hunters using thermal imaging technology, we're breaking down how squatchers in the state can continue doing field research, safely and legally. Plus we've got the full scoop on a mysterious trail camera photo making rounds, and recent trackway found in Western New York.

Did you know the biggest iceberg in the world is cruising through the ocean right now? It's called A23a, and it first broke off the Filchner Ice Shelf way back in 1986! For decades, it was just chilling (literally) in the Weddell Sea, stuck on the seabed. Then it started moving again in 2020, only to get trapped in this oceanic vortex called the Taylor Column. But in December 2024, it finally broke free and is now heading toward South Georgia Island. Oh, and get this — it's over 4,300 square kilometers in size, which makes it more than three times bigger than New York City!

La Russie organise à partir de mercredi 26 mars le Forum international de l'Arctique. Un évènement pour parler du futur de cette région de 27 millions de kilomètres carrés, à la fois de sa gouvernance et de tout l'enjeu économique qu'il revêt. La carte postale est belle, une étendue de glace à perte de vue. Mais en dessous de cet or blanc, l'Arctique recèle d'immenses gisements de pétrole, de gaz naturel ou encore de minerais rares. D'après l'Institut d'études géologiques des États-Unis (USGS), c'est en moyenne un quart des réserves mondiales d'hydrocarbures restant à découvrir qui s'y trouvent. C'est beaucoup, et les pays voisins de ce continent l'ont bien intégré. D'abord la Russie, en y organisant notamment ce forum de l'Arctique à Mourmansk et en y investissant massivement dans l'extraction offshore. Mais les États-Unis l'ont également compris, d'où le projet du président américain Donald Trump d'acheter le Groenland pour que cette île et ses ressources deviennent américaines.À présent, équipons-nous d'un globe terrestre afin de comprendre ce qu'il se joue au pôle Nord. Si on le fait tourner, on voit que ce sont six nations qui bordent les eaux arctiques : le Canada, les États-Unis, la Russie, l'Islande, la Norvège et le Danemark par le Groenland. Ce sont ainsi ces six États, ainsi que la Suède et la Finlande qui font partie du conseil de l'Arctique. Cette organisation constitue l'enceinte politique de coopération régionale au sujet de ces 27 millions de kilomètres carrés. Ce sont autant d'États qui sont concernés par ce qu'il s'y joue. À lire aussiCanal de Panama, Canada, Groenland: le rêve expansionniste de Donald TrumpNouvelle route maritimeDu côté de Moscou, on ne s'en cache pas : la région est l'une de ses priorités. L'Arctique russe représente près de 7 000 kilomètres de côtes, soit toute sa frontière Nord.L'enjeu est primordial, notamment pour le passage de bateaux. Selon l'observatoire Copernicus, l'Arctique européen est la région qui se réchauffe le plus au monde. La fonte des glaces ouvre une autoroute maritime : la route maritime du Nord.Parce que la terre est ronde, reprenons notre globe pour nous faire une idée. À l'Est, en longeant les côtes russes, on arrive au détroit de Bering et aux ports chinois, japonais ou encore sud-coréens : 38 millions de tonnes de marchandises y ont transité l'an dernier. C'est un record, mais c'est dérisoire par rapport au 1,5 milliard de tonnes qui passent par le canal de Suez. Et par l'Ouest, en longeant cette fois les côtes canadiennes, l'Europe a accès à l'Asie sans passer par le canal de Suez.Ces routes sont plus courtes car comme la Terre est ronde, les distances sont réduites aux pôles. C'est donc plus rapide, d'une à deux semaines, et par conséquent moins cher.Par ailleurs, un nouvel acteur y investit beaucoup : la Chine. Le pays pourrait y voir une nouvelle route de la soie, mais polaire. D'autant qu'avec les sanctions occidentales conséquentes à la guerre en Ukraine, Moscou échange beaucoup avec Pékin. La Chine est d'ailleurs le premier acheteur sur le long terme de ressources de l'Arctique russe. Car finalement, au-delà de la question économique, l'Arctique représente un enjeu géopolitique majeur. Et paradoxalement, cette large étendue de glace est en effet l'un des points chauds de tensions internationales.

Le Grand Nord Canadien et l'Alaska. Des territoires loins de tout, où la nature sauvage impose ses conditions aux voyageurs qui osent s'y aventurer.Dans cette immensité sauvage, se trouve le fleuve Yukon, c'est le plus long fleuve du Canada, avec ses 3185km de sa source, dans le territoire du même nom, et son embouchure dans la mer de Bering.Quentin Kieffer, graphiste de profession et aventurier par passion, l'a descendu dans sa quasi intégralité pendant 60 jours. Dans cet épisode il nous fait le récit de cette expédition d'envergure. On y parle de villages perdus dans l'immensité du Nord, d'un fleuve difficile à naviguer et d'ours noirs.Excellente écoute à vous !

El gerente general de la Compañía Chilena de Comunicaciones, Luis Ajenjo, comentó la demanda presentada en contra de Google, asegurando que si no se termina con los abusos de esta empresa, "el futuro de los medios digitales es difícil". En conversación con El Diario de Cooperativa, Ajenjo explicó que "efectivamente hay aquí competencia desleal, que es lo que nosotros sostenemos en la demanda que el estudio Bering ha preparado para nosotros. Es una competencia desleal que Google ha ido adquiriendo en sus casi 30 años de funcionamiento".

Blake tries to talk Jeb off the ledge as we return to the classic theme of "ancient astronauts" in this throwback episode titled: Earth Visitors. Some links relevant to our discussion: Dejah Thoris (character) MUFON/Harzan scandal Roman Dodecahedrons (archaeology) Frank Frazetta Boris Vallejo We mention Zecharia Sitchin. Research suggests humans grow more neurons than did Neanderthals. A bunch of this episode comes from the work of Maurice Chatelain, who we shall refer to as "Shadowlane." His book Our Cosmic Ancestors sports one of the more interesting book covers we've seen while researching this show. He also wrote Our Ancestors Came from Outer Space. Maurice Chatelain's credentials appear to have been somewhat overstated in the episode. We'll be talking about several "Out of Place Artifacts" or OOPAs in this episode. Let's start with the "Boot Print" aka The Meister Print. (pictured below) See also this article by Glenn Kuban. Very compelling stuff. I guess. I mean it sort of looks like show print. This interesting looking skull also sent us down some research holes. The text of the episode seems to be talking about the Del Mar Skull but the image doesn't look like a close match. A lot of "shapes on the earth" are discussed. The shapes require you to do a lot of work. We'll get into that in the episode. But one is the Maltese Cross that is absolutely stunning, so long as you ignore that some of the points are hundreds of miles from the alleged anchor points and that the temples allegedly at each point were centuries apart. Skeptical response via CSICOP. Also - this is supposed to be a "pyramid" but seems to be more of what geometry wonks call a "triangle." I'm trying to find the type of terminal behind our statistician. And - behind the scenes I've managed to contact him and he assures me that the episode required many takes and that his students reported they made him sound like he believes in the whole ancient astronauts thing... More on this if I hear back from a rather lengthy email I sent him today (12/13/24). Read even more about the Monte Carlo Method! Vintage ad for the The Outer Space Connection. According to Scientific American, the idea that indigenous Americans were here for a very long time (from across the Bering sea) really kicked off in the 1930s. Read more about The Elephant Slab hoax. This montage of Kachina dolls really impressed Blake: Nimoy Fashion Alert! Native Jewelry Artist Preston Monongye Engineer Charles Ruggles Could he be LARPing J. Allen Hynek? Finally we get to the Cosa Artifact. And - of course, The Jupiter Menace (1982)

L'émission 28 Minutes du 24/09/2024 Peut-on encore être galant à l'ère de la révolution MeToo ? "Mythe franco-français", "culture du viol" ou "liberté d'importuner" : la galanterie est aujourd'hui sujette à débat. Mais alors, peut-on encore être galant ? C'est la question que pose Jennifer Tamas, spécialiste de la littérature du 17e siècle, dans son essai éponyme publié aux éditions du Seuil. Cet "art de plaire" est né au 17e siècle d'une volonté de pacifier les mœurs d'une société violente. Alors que le roi Louis XIV cherche à domestiquer les grands seigneurs pour en faire des courtisans, la galanterie fait partie du processus — c'est "une façon dévirilisée de cultiver les liens entre les sexes". Si, à l'époque, les femmes galantes participent activement à la vie intellectuelle et développent de nouvelles formes de sociabilité, tant amicales qu'amoureuses, la galanterie devient vite un outil de domination masculine. Dès lors, cette pratique semble incompatible avec le féminisme. "Peut-on encore être galant ?" questionne cette notion et met en exergue la confusion qui l'entoure : parfois confondue avec le romantisme, perçue tantôt comme un instrument de domination, tantôt comme une pratique émancipatrice, la galanterie retrouve ici sa dimension complexe et plurielle. Conflit Israël-Hezbollah : une escalade inévitable ?  558 personnes ont été tuées, lundi 23 septembre, après des bombardements massifs d'Israël dans le sud du Liban et la vallée de la Bekaa, à l'est du pays. L'armée israélienne revendique des frappes sur 1 600 positions du Hezbollah. Cette offensive, sans précédent depuis le début des affrontements à la frontière israélo-libanaise fin 2023, a poussé des milliers de Libanais à fuir le sud du pays. Les autorités ont annoncé la fermeture des écoles dans les zones touchées et ont demandé aux hôpitaux de suspendre les opérations non urgentes pour soigner les blessés. Les frappes se sont poursuivies dans la nuit de lundi à mardi, alimentant les craintes d'une guerre à grande échelle dans la région. Alors que la France a demandé une réunion d'urgence du Conseil de sécurité de l'ONU, cette inquiétude dominera l'Assemblée générale des Nations unies qui s'ouvre ce mardi 24 septembre. De son côté, le Hezbollah a envoyé, dimanche 22 septembre, 150 roquettes vers le nord d'Israël, en réponse à la vaste attaque aux bipeurs dirigée par Israël contre ses membres. L'oganisation islamiste a pour la première fois eu recours à des armes à moyenne portée qui ont ciblé des régions éloignées de la frontière. La guerre totale tant redoutée est-elle en train de s'installer ? Le Liban pourrait-il devenir "un autre Gaza", comme le craint Antonio Guterres, secrétaire général de l'ONU ? Enfin, Xavier Mauduit s'intéresse au trafic de pierres précieuses en Colombie, et Marie Bonnisseau nous parle d'un rat qui sème la zizanie sur l'île Saint-Paul, située au milieu de la mer du Bering.   28 Minutes est le magazine d'actualité d'ARTE, présenté par Elisabeth Quin du lundi au jeudi à 20h05. Renaud Dély est aux commandes de l'émission le vendredi et le samedi. Ce podcast est coproduit par KM et ARTE Radio.  Enregistrement : 24 septembre 2024 - Présentation : Élisabeth Quin - Production : KM, ARTE Radio

En la escuela nos dijeron que los primeros pobladores de América llegaron por el estrecho de Bering, pero la realidad es más compleja que eso. En este episodio, vamos a explorar las distintas hipótesis e ideas que hay, para de ahí entender cuál es la más probable. Vas a ver que te llevas varios datos interesantes y cositas que no sabías sobre nuestro origen como especie.

This podcast features Dr. Jamie Bering, MD, Senior Associate Consultant in the Division of Gastroenterology and Hepatology at the Mayo Clinic in Scottsdale, Arizona. Dr. Bering first became interested in nutrition as a GI fellow after she realized her specific interest in placing PEG tubes and working with those patients on their nutrition and hydration management post-procedure. She describes the importance that mentorship played in her career advancement and specialty in nutrition. She has been fortunate enough to have completed her training in the same institution, now working alongside her mentors. Dr. Bering describes gaps in the field of nutrition specific to conditions where the role of nutrition support has not yet been well defined. She is interested in researching these areas and developing an algorithm to best approach these patients and determine how nutrition support might improve their overall outcomes. Dr. Bering is a member of the Physician Engagement Committee and describes how her committee involvement and ASPEN membership overall has led to numerous advancement opportunities in her career. She also highlights various fellowship programs that are available for young physicians who are interested in nutrition, which can help them get a jump start in this field. Physician Spotlight is a forum for outstanding Senior Leaders, Young Rising Stars, and International Colleagues in the field of nutrition to discuss important topics and ideas that impact patient care.

In der 244. Episode von Irgendwas mit Recht begrüßt Marc Prof. Charlotte Schmitt-Leonardy (Uni Bielefeld) und Jürgen Bering von der Gesellschaft für Freiheitsrechte (GFF). Die drei diskutieren live vom Anwaltstag in Bielefeld über das Thema Künstliche Intelligenz (KI) in Strafverfahren, insbesondere im Zusammenhang mit der umstrittenen Software Palantir. Jürgen erklärt die Bedenken der GFF und deren Verfassungsbeschwerde gegen den Einsatz von Palantir, die das Bundesverfassungsgericht in weiten Teilen bestätigte. Sie beleuchten, wie die Software große Datenmengen kombiniert und sensible Daten verarbeitet, was zu Diskriminierung und mangelnder Transparenz führen kann. Charlotte betont die Risiken und Unwägbarkeiten von KI, insbesondere die Gefahr von Verzerrungen und die Bedeutung der menschlichen Entscheidung im Strafverfahren. Die Diskussion behandelt ebenso die Frage, wie der Rechtsmarkt auf diese Herausforderungen reagieren sollte. Viel Spaß!

C'est le cas des célèbres pinsons étudiés par Darwin aux Galapagos.Pierre-Olivier tord le cou de cette théorie "paresseuse" des arbres morts dérivants qui auraient déposé de nouvelles espèces sur les îles.

L'un de ces ponts s'appelle la Béringie, aujourd'hui sous le détroit de Bering, entre la Sibérie et l'Alaska, qui a relié l'Eurasie aux Amériques aux différents âges de glace.

I'm your host, Allen Hall, and I'm here with my co host, Joel Saxum. If you were an owner, operator, or technician in wind, you have come across pitch bearing problems. And those pitch bearing problems can get really hard to detect early. But once you see them, they're expensive to repair. So Joel and I thought it was time to bring on an expert. In bearings to the podcast. So our guest today is Cory Mittleider of Malloy Wind. And Cory has an extensive background in wind bearings. Now, Malloy, if you're not familiar, is based in Sioux Falls, South Dakota, which is in the middle of the United States. And Malloy Wind specializes in providing solutions for wind turbine. applications. So they're a total wind focus organization. They offer a variety of services, including upgrading gearbox bearings, blade bearings, main shaft bearings, pitch motor renewals, and generator bearings. Cory, welcome to the program. Cory Mittleider: Hey guys, thanks for having me. Allen Hall: So there's so many questions about pitch bearings and just having been down in San Diego at the ACP OMNS one of the complaints is, Oh, I got a huge bearing replacement program going on this summer. And my first thought was of you were thinking, wow, you guys must be really busy because Bearings are probably after lightning, it's lightning and then bearings were one and two of the problems for wind turbines at the moment. Cory Mittleider: Yeah, it's been it's been a busy couple of years. There's certainly standout platforms that are having their own platform specific failure modes that we're discovering as we work with operators. Joel Saxum: Yeah we talked a little bit off air about some of that thing. Okay, so we're in lightning space. We know if someone calls and says, I have this turbine with these blades, you go, Ooh, you got problems. So I know that it's the same thing in the Bering world, generators, like you know the ones that are going to happen. So when you guys initially talk with someone, What are some of the points that you asked them right away? Okay. They've called, what are we looking at? Cory Mittleider: Sure. Sure. So to your point, it's a lot of platform specific. We know platform X has this history of problems. Platform Y has a different set of history and platform Z is a pretty stable, pretty robust platform, for example. So we start to, to investigate, is it one of those platforms that we already know has some issues that we either maybe have something developed for, or are currently working on. We talk about how soon are they experiencing their first failures or how are they detecting them? And most importantly, I think is how long do they plan to run the site? Are they two thirds of the way through the life of the site? Then, we probably propose a different solution to them than we do to some of the worst case scenarios where they're having failures in the three year ...

Här kommer en ruskig historia. Omfattande i både omfång och dramatik. Det handlar om de expeditioner i östlig riktning som den ryska staten under 1700-talet genomförde. Ledare för dessa var dansken Vitus Bering.Vi fokuserar särskilt på den andra av Berings två expeditioner. ”Den stora nordliga expeditionen” där någon stans mellan 3 000 och 10 000 män, kvinnor och barn begav sig till östra Sibirien för att mäta, samla och dokumentera. För Bering och hans mannar leder det slutligen till en mycket utsatt vinter vid den isolerade Berings ö mellan Alaska och Kamtjatka.Glöm inte att fixa plåtar till vår föreställning 14 maj!

The focus is on the nitty-gritty of audio equipment design, specifically the intricacies of creating the Passport Vo. Goodman highlights the benefits of maintaining simplicity in design by restricting the device to just six knobs, which enhances ease of use for voiceover artists. The conversation also explores the challenges and considerations in pricing and product functionality, like the decision to enable the Passport Vo to work with external preamps. Goodman provides a candid look at the rapidly evolving landscape of audio interface protocols, such as the impending obsolescence of the lightning jack in favor of USB-C and the limitations of ASIO on Windows. Listeners will gain unique insights into the manufacturing process, from the adoption of a platform strategy to the precision of creating 3D printed parts. Goodman discusses the shift to new USB chips due to discontinued ones and reveals how smaller manufacturers are playing a key role. For those interested in the technical aspects of audio equipment production and design choices that impact both the user experience and future compatibility, this episode offers a wealth of knowledge. Tune in to learn from Goodman's expertise and stay informed on the latest in pro audio equipment design. #VoiceOverTechTalk #ProAudioSuite #DesignSimplicityInAudio Timestamps (00:00:00) Introduction with George Wittam and Robert Marshall (00:00:32) George Discusses Design Limitations (00:05:22) Unique Tools for Voiceover Artists (00:08:44) Flexibility of the English Channel Passport (00:11:56) Apple's Lightning Jack Obsolescence (00:16:23) Challenges with Apple's Developer System (00:21:36) Michael on the Passport VO Analog Mixer (00:25:04) Progress on USB Chip Prototyping (00:28:48) DIY Circuit Board Manufacturing (00:33:15) Handling Tiny Components on Circuit Boards (00:35:48) Michael Inquires About Custom Faceplates (00:38:27) Closing Remarks and Acknowledgments Transcript Speaker A: Y'all ready?

And this is part two of our talk with Michael Goodman. In this episode, we pick up where we left off and we talk about the passport Vo. Speaker A: I like the fact that there's a restriction to the design. Like, Michael had to decide what those six knobs could do or not do. And so it wasn't like, oh, let's just add more knobs. Let's just make it bigger. : I did add more knobs in the black cab. It's got nine. Speaker A: Just kind of pushing squeeze nine in there. Yeah, but no, that's the beauty of when we made the passport. We did not add more knobs. We forced ourselves to work within that restricted design space and say, we have six knobs. We need to do everything we need with these six knobs. If there's more than six knobs, how do you expect an actor to understand what the heck the thing is doing as you add more and more? Speaker C: Yeah, yeah, I agree. : See, we should have looked at the black cab when we were asking for stuff. Speaker C: Yeah. Speaker B: I have a funny feeling Michael's answer would have been the same. : I think it's an excellent way of building simplicity into it, and really also, it makes you go through the design process. And I think it was a fun thing with the passport was exactly that. Because at first it was like, so many things. Add another knob, add another knob, and then you have to go through that slightly painful but sharpening process of going, like, we can't only have six knobs. How are you really going to do this? : It's interesting. When I was younger, I geeked out a lot on the japanese culture specifically. I loved their propensity for making small pieces of art. Right. The whole idea with the ice sculpture, art should be ephemeral. It should be there, and it's not there anymore. Right. And then the whole idea with writing a poem on a grain of rice, et cetera. I love compact things. And when we started making hi fi products, we also make some headphone listening products at sentrance. I traveled to Japan a lot, and I attended these hi fi shows, and I noticed how people are focused on completely different priorities there. Because apartments are very small in Japan. And therefore nobody buys a traditional stereo system with big speakers and all that. Everybody essentially listens in headphones in a tiny little spot, usually on a train, on their way to work or back home. So that culture creates a necessity for smaller things. And then for some reason, it just kind of stuck with me. I like when, essentially, when you travel, you don't want to log around a 19 inch rack or even like a 500 series lunchbox thing. That's the way we're trying to make these things small. But getting back to passport vo, the restriction there was basically the same one that was popularized by Henry Ford, who said that you can have your Model T in any color as long as it's black. Yeah. So basically, we have this box, and whatever you want to have must fit. Speaker C: In the box, which was good. And it was an interesting exercise, me being the guinea pig who potentially is going to be the person who uses this. Know, I didn't want it too technical and trying to get the terminology something that people like me would understand. So that was an interesting exercise for all of us as well. Speaker A: There was a lot of pushing and pulling between the Andrew Robert hemispheres of the design team. : There was? Speaker C: Yes, that's right. : Yes. I was wanting to keep it flexible and let it do more things. Be both. The. For instance, I wanted to be the interface that you could take on the road or leave in your control room and run it as your whole studio interface, or have it in your booth. And it could work in any place. And Andrew was like, I just want to travel with this was. Speaker C: It was kind of interesting because we were the polar opposite. So you had Robert on one side, me on the other side, and George and Robbo in the middle. George particularly, trying to make sense of. Speaker A: Our nonsensical and the filter. And I was trying to condense down everything. What they wanted to George was the traffic Michael. So that Michael didn't end up having to be the traffic cop. It got out of control at one point, expand at one point. Remember distinctly, I was like, wait, I was supposed to be protecting my. : I think that was important, giving Michael one point of communication. Because it would have been maddening for him. : Exactly. Well, I have to say, I actually enjoyed the process. I mean, there was a lot of creativity and ideation throughout the whole thing. And if you have. I love ideation myself. So I'm not really necessarily against it, opposed to it, as long as it eventually comes to a solid, well defined feature. Set, which I think we have. So that whole process that worked very well for me. And I do appreciate George coming in as a traffic cop and essentially directing. Speaker B: A lot of that traffic and an architect as well. Can I just say, with all the drawings that he had to do, I. Speaker A: Had fun trying to figure out a way to draw a signal flow diagram, which I'd never really done anything. And I know there's proper nomenclature and symbolism and all sorts of stuff in drawing one. I didn't know that, so I just did my own thing. But it really was cool because it helped me tremendously see it, understand what goes to what. And we revised that signal flow diagram. Oh, jeez, I don't know, seven or eight times, probably. Speaker C: Yeah, probably a lot more. Speaker B: A million times. : I think it was the blend of having the signal flow diagram so you could really see what was exactly going to happen combined with the mockup of the final device so you could get an imagination of how it was really going to work in the field. I think we really came up with something that fits sentrins in the sense that it fits, obviously, the form factor, but it's super flexible and unique. You're not finding this absolutely any other interface. : No, I think it'll continue to be unique because it is so purpose built that other manufacturers will look at it and go, why? Speaker C: That's right, exactly. Speaker B: Because there's nothing else out there that's been purpose built for voiceover artists. I think that was the initial motivation. For years, voiceover artists have had to take stuff that's built for music, for music engineers, and rework it to make it for voiceover. : And it seems like this is such a niche industry that a larger manufacturer might not necessarily see a lot of business potential there. So I think that was a good match between our size being a smaller company and then a market being smaller that we were like, okay, that makes sense. : I think you see that in its price point. Speaker C: Yeah. : Someone who's looking at it really basically goes, I can get a two channel USB interface, two microphones USB interface for $100. : No, this is not that. : If you see that in there, then you're not seeing what this is. Speaker A: Yeah, it's not for you. There's almost like when you set something at a price point, you're trying to give a very clear, I mean, not only you're saying that it's worth it, obviously, but you're making a very clear statement that this is priced for professionals and it's worth every penny to a professional who will understand the value. And we've already had people stand up and say, I believe it. I see what you're saying. And they've blunt down the cash. : And let's be honest, for a working voiceover professional, not everybody, of course, but a lot of those guys can make that much money in 15 seconds. : Pays for itself in one gig. Speaker A: That is true. Speaker C: Exactly. Speaker A: We knew that pricing was going to be tricky, but we also knew that we had a restricted space in which we had to work. We wanted the value to be there. But we also have to make a profit. Michael has to make a profit. We had ideas that would have driven the price even higher quite a bit that we could have implemented, but we didn't want to do that. There's a certain point where we thought, let's keep it under that. : Well, I remember one was how we handled the, and this is actually something I have a question with, with the English Channel, we wanted to make the passport flexible enough to use an external preamp instead of the built in one. And I know that was important to Andrew. And one of the things I find with the English Channel is that when you come out line level XLR and you go into the courtcaster, turning the courtcaster down is not enough. You got to pad the other stages beforehand to get it because you're kind of feeding a mic pre into a mic pre. And I remember that was one of the things where we had to accept that we were going to go through that chip, if I remember right, and we didn't get a pure bypass of. Speaker A: The mic because that was going to raise the parts count and the cost in other ways. And it was such a, the switching, it was something where it was going to add cost to make a very small percentage of users. : It would not have made a difference to most users. Speaker C: But even based on that, I have to say that if you look at the new Neumann interface, how much is that thing? : Like one, $200, right? Speaker C: No, more than that. It will be like over 2000 us. : 18, from what I understand. : 18, yeah. I'm sorry. And it doesn't do as much as the. Speaker C: And also when you're talking about having, bypassing the internal preamp, it doesn't. : Oh, really? Speaker C: It doesn't. Like, nowhere on that new Neumann interface can you bypass a preamp. Speaker A: Fascinating. : I would wonder if that's a subject of pride. We give you the best preamp in the land. Why would you want to bypass that? Speaker B: I would suggest that would be the case, yeah. Speaker A: Well, the irony is that they sell a preamp like they sell a very expensive preamp. Outboard preamp. So you would think that they would have that. : Do you want to know what device that is? It's the reincarnation, it's the perennial. It's like a locust that comes out of the ground every eight years. And the last one that emerged out of the ground was the mini me. Speaker A: The mini me from Apigee. : The apigee mini me. Yeah. Badass preamp. Badass converter. Speaker A: Yeah. And soft clipping. : It had that limiter but really expensive interface that's just going to. I'm expensive. I'm going to be the best kind of thing is what it's trying to be, but it's not flexible. : Mini me is not a convincing name. Speaker A: If that movie hadn't come, I'm sure. : When that movie came true, but really, the mini me, it wants to be the original ad 1000, which I have several of those. And those are great. : Yeah. Speaker A: But they don't use Firewire or USB. Right. : The mini me, I believe, is USB. Speaker A: Are you sure? I don't think so. : I'm pretty sure it runs as USB and a separate pre, but I don't. Speaker A: Think it has any protocol. See, that's the thing. As soon as you add a protocol to the unit, like a USB protocol, a firewall protocol, you're now dating your product. It is now locked in time. It's now going to be obsolete at some point. Speaker C: Correct. Speaker A: Like this happened. Firewire. Actually, Firewire just became officially obsolete with, I think, Ventura, if you have a Firewire device. : So even if you have like a firewired, a thunderbolt adapter, it doesn't matter. Speaker A: They dropped off the protocol. It's gone. Poof. : Well, the lightning jack is about to go the way of the dodo. Speaker A: Yes, that's right. : Really? : Because of Europe. Speaker A: That's a whole other can of worms. Right, Michael? Because I know you spent a long time dealing with the lightning port and the. What is it called? Made for Apple MFA? : Mfi. Mfi. Made for iPhone. Speaker A: Right. Made for iPhone. And wasn't that like a major stumbling block to getting the first mixer face built and designed? : Correct. We started down that path in our hi fi devices because we wanted to make these headphone amplifiers that plugged into the phone because a lot of people started moving their music collection onto the phone and using the phone as the playback device. And then that kind of translated into recording products as well. So Apple decided to keep that walled garden ecosystem all to themselves. And then as a manufacturer, making a peripheral device, a product that would interface with the Apple iPhone, iPad, et cetera. You had to go through a lengthy bureaucratic process to establish yourself as a registered developer, essentially in the MFI ecosystem. And they policed that hard to the point. I mean, it got ridiculous. So the lightning jack actually is quite sophisticated. There's a chip inside and that chip has a serial number, a laser etched serial number inside. So every lightning jack in the world has a unique serial number. Believe it or not, this information is less relevant now. But it used to be relevant before. So what had happened is if there was a cable, a lightning cable, lightning to USB, that was not made per spec, any cable that you made as an MFI manufacturer had to be certified by an Apple approved lab and it had to do all the things that a lightning cable had to do. : It was very annoying when they started. : They enforced it all the time. And then what they ended up doing is there's been a plethora of chinese cables that were not approved. So Apple was able, because they actually had control over the chips inside of the lightning checks, they were able to remotely disable cables. Speaker A: Wow. : And then we still get these calls. It's like, man, I plug this lightning to USB cable into your product and it doesn't pass audio. It's your product. No, it's the cable. That cable just hasn't paid the fee. And by the way, you had to pay the fee to Apple. If you were MFI developer, the manufacturer of that cable either didn't pass the test or didn't pay the fee or whatever and their cable had been remotely disabled, which is bizarre. But that went on for a while and after a while we were know we're too small to be able to deal with this because there were like constant updates. : So then you just have to get your own interface adapter so you couldn't plug straight into the phone anymore. You had to have some stupid dongle so Apple could get their fee. : They got their fee one way or another. But now, thanks to Europe, it's just going to be USBC and the whole lightning adapter is no more. Speaker A: Oh, so let me ask you, this is the MFI certification, whatever you want to call it. Is that now dead because of USBC or is it still in there somewhere? : There is no special communication happening anymore because USBC is supposed to be generic. You had to announce yourself and you had to be in the database and that's how they tracked you essentially. But now there is no communication there. And then, so now it's just like a Windows machine. You plug a peripheral, a USB peripheral into a Windows machine. And if it's a generic peripheral, it pulls up a generic driver and knows what to do, knows how to work with it. With Mac, it's been like that forever. And they've written great drivers, a lot better than Windows. So that any audio interface, you plug it into a Mac, it works right away. Speaker A: Yeah, as long as it's core. What do they call it? Compliant or core audio compliant? : Core audio. Core. Audio compliant, right, exactly. : And then. So it's going to be exactly like that with the iPhone and iPads. Been like that with the iPad for about a year now. So just one less hurdle to jump over, which that's progress. Yes. And that's good, because we had this conversation the other day when you were coaching me on how to make the proper connections here, and I was pulling my hair out, trying to get things working, and I realized that it works in this environment, not in that environment and all that. Speaker A: Oh, my gosh. Honestly, when I was writing that, I went down the rabbit on the developer page of Apple. Right. To understand better how the system works. And there was like seven distinctly different and unique modes of operation. : Because it's trying to make all these decisions for you. It's like, can we interrupt this phone call? Can we interrupt this movie? Speaker A: Right, right. Oh, my gosh, it is so complicated. : It is pretty annoying. Speaker A: It's all complicated on the developer side so that you, the user, don't have to think about it, but they make those decisions for you. And that's what runs us into trouble as pros. I wish, again, because of iPhone 15 Pro and the new chipset, maybe this is going to change. But yeah, I wish we could really control our devices and say, I want to use this as the input. I want to use that as the output. I want to send this over here. : On the Windows side, there is this protocol that's been around for a while called ASIO. ASIO is the one that is direct to device. It was developed that way a long time ago. : It was made by Steinberg. : Yeah. And that would not be interrupted if you're playing a YouTube video or phone call comes in. Your session continues to be solid. Nowadays. : The problem with ASIO is that it can't share very well. : The whole point of it is that you shouldn't share. It should be like point to point, indestructible. You know what I mean? : On the macOS, it's got it with core audio where it shares it just fluidly yet. And the only thing that you have to make sure of which is the same with any situation is you just keep. If I'm sharing it, we have to agree on what sample rate we're going to be at. The device can't be at more than. Speaker A: One sample rate, but there's still weird stuff on the Apple side. Where is the volume up and down button on the keyboard going to change the output level of my device? : Exactly. Speaker A: I don't know. Is the gain, input gain setting on Mac OS going to be effective on the input level? : Or would that be if that device is set as the output in system preferences, then your knob becomes a control if that device is controllable. Not all devices are controllable. And you'll see that some of them, if you select them as the output, the slider becomes grayed out. Speaker A: But who decides that? The manufacturer of the device, the writer of the driver or the Mac audio. : Stack or whatever, that's the device. : In reality, it's everything. It's a little bit of both. So some decisions Apple has to make, some decision manufacturer tries to make, but then Apple could reverse those decisions at their own volition. Anytime you have a competition between a whole bunch of sound sources, like phone movie playing, another movie playing in this other window, and then your audio thing, the system has to decide what's the priority, which of these programs really has to be streamed and which other ones have to be muted, or do you want to just mix everything together? Which is kind of madness, right? Speaker A: Yeah. IPhone does some weird stuff like, I know we're going down a rabbit hole. : It's very useful. It's like the way a Nexus device works. They're like patch cables. And if you send two devices to go out the same patch cable, it just mixes everything together. The Wasopi Windows driver is a little bit more flexible and a little bit more core audio like than mixes. : It mixes everything, and they worked hard on doing that. Here's a problem, because it has to mix so many different streams, again, from these movies and radio stations and everything else that you could be listening to and watching at the same time in the same Windows computer. What they do is they have to align the sample rates from all these different sources. The process of aligning the sample rates results in a delay in latency. So that's completely inapplicable to music recording. Robbie would know about that. And then, so if you're watching a movie and the sound comes in 30 milliseconds later, you don't know it. It doesn't matter if you're recording music and sound comes back 30 milliseconds later, it ruins the take. : So I wonder if the latency in Wasapi is similar to the latency in core audio. Because anything that's native, every audio engineer knows it's more. : It's a lot more. In Wasapi, core audio is just very well tuned. : It's like Wasapi and fast. It's like Wasapi and ASIO combined in a way. : Wasapi generally introduces delay, and it introduces a lot of convenience at the price of the delay, whereas ASIO is as little delay as you can have. So essentially, the delay through the computer is about two milliseconds each way, and then the rest of it is the interface. But it's point to point. There are no decisions to make, so there's no pausing to think whether we should do it this way or that way. That's the beauty of ASIO, and core audio is very much like that. Speaker A: Since we're talking about Windows a little bit, is it too early for you to tell us, Michael, when you connect the passport Vo with its two USB buses or two USB interfaces to a pc, is the best choice for the user, in most cases going to be, what do they call it? Mme or Windows classic wave driver or direct sound. What's going to be the optimal setting? Do you think? : Wasapi usually is the best if you know what you're doing and you're not sending several different streams into your interface? Speaker A: Right, right. And you won't be, because with this design, each USB bus is basically a simple two in, two out. Exactly interface. Right. So the hardware, all that mixing that we try to do with software, and sometimes not very successfully, is being handled in the analog domain or internally inside the unit. : Right. Speaker A: So we don't have to even worry about that anymore. : That was a very smart idea or path. : That's the beauty of it. No drivers? No, yes. Nothing to. That's the goal. : Yeah. You could have two separate applications running at the same time. One could be sharing applications such as source connect. The other one can be a recording application such as DAW, local DAW. Speaker A: And then Adobe audition is a popular choice on Windows. : Those applications could actually meet inside of the device, inside of passport Vo, and not really conflict with each other as they would be if you were trying to mix inside the machine. : This is why we did it, because on Windows, this ability to have two applications use the same device at the same time can cause huge tech support issues. Huge. And one approach is to basically have someone like George help you out and figure it out. Going into drivers and turning them off of exclusive mode and things like that. And then crossing your fingers that it works. Speaker A: No, I have. Mike McConaughey will do that. I won't touch that stuff anymore on Windows. : Or just do it this way and dedicate one interface to one application, the other interface to the other, and then do all your cross patching and your blending and the analog domain with. : That's unique. Nobody else does that, right. Speaker A: And that internally. Michael, just to make that really clear, it's an analog signal path, that's all. It's staying completely analog? : Yes. It's an analog mixer which has two inputs which happen to be digital streams from the computer. Speaker A: But they've been converted from digital to. : Analog to analog and become analog. Mixing in analog introduces zero latency. It's that old technology. We're going back to the british invasion. And it's seamless, essentially. There are no conflicts when you're mixing an analog. Speaker A: Yeah, no sample rates to coordinate. : George? It's a bit like when you use the Bering interface to plug externally back. Speaker A: Into someone else's problem solver. : It's that, but it's all in the box with knobs and switches to control it. Instead of like, you could have your. Speaker A: Doll running at 24, 96, maybe 24 bit 96. And you can have your zoom or source connect running at whatever the heck the client wants, sample rate it needs to be. And they will not step on each other's toes at all. You don't have to worry about that. : Yeah, that's completely transparent in the analog domain. So I think that was a brilliant move. Speaker A: I can't wait. That's such a cool thing. : Hey, listen, I can't wait either. So a small development on that front. I know everybody wants to know status. As mentioned before, we have three separate paths here. And we're about to choose one with regards to the actual USB chip. So I've laid out all of the analog circuitry. It's already done. So all that mixing that we've just talked about, that's all already in the design. Speaker A: Cool. : It's designed and it's waiting to be prototyped. I am pausing and not sending this to prototyping because there's one additional block that needs to be finalized. And that block is the USB portion of the design. Actually, there's two USB portions of the design because, as we just said, there's two USB ports and there's two different computers that you could connect this thing to at the same time. And then it would then blend between the signals from those two computers. So for the USB chip that goes inside of there, the two USB chips, we learned recently, unfortunately, that the chip that we've been using for like twelve years or so is now out of production. And the manufacturer does have a newer version, but it's larger and more expensive. But larger part is more important here because, yes, we do have that small box and it just wouldn't fit. So we started a big search for another chip. We found a manufacturer in Taiwan, which is a smaller manufacturer, and it makes a chip that is smaller also. And that seems to fit the bill. But we wanted to make sure that we kind of wanted to vet them. Speaker A: Yeah, you don't just slap any random chip in there and hope for the. : You know, it's like a couple of guys in an office. Are you going to be around next year? So I have a friend in Taiwan who visited them yesterday and sent me a lengthy email. Anyway, so he visited them. He lives in neighboring cities. It's an hour drive for him, not that big a deal. So he popped over and he had a meeting and he said it was a very pleasant conversation. Taiwan is where they make all of the chips pretty much in the world these days. So they use a couple of foundries. Foundries. A plant that makes chips. And then, so they use two very reputable suppliers for that. And everything is well tested. I was like, do they test these things? How's the reliability? Do they have any large customers? Turns out this company is not well known in America, in the west yet, but they are known in China, and they're shipping significant volume into China. So I think there's the reason to believe that it's going to be a reliable supplier. And so my friend there in Taiwan who actually works for large contract manufacturers, like, yeah, you should go ahead and work with them. Not a problem. I don't see a problem. Speaker A: Milestone moment right here, folks. : Just happened to yesterday, as a matter of fact. So we're like, oh, okay, well, then, thank you. So we're not concerned about their longevity and all that. So there was also a third path, which was there's still a stock available of the old chip that's gone out of production and we can put that in there. But that would just kind of be a step backwards, putting something in the product that you know is not going to be made anymore. : Are there any features on the new chip? Like, it goes up to 384. : It does. : Does your taxes. : It does do your taxes. That would be important. But the 384, I think less so I'm joking, of course, because who needs 384 in real life? Audiophiles love their 384. Except there's no content to play. But you got to buy your DAC. : It's the album of mouse farts. : To each his own. Speaker C: Yeah. Speaker A: One other thing I want to touch on before we wrap it is I also know that you have invested in a rapid prototype, or what would you call it, a prototyping. : You can make your own boards now. : Right? It's a pick and place machine. That's the official name. Speaker A: Pick and place. Got you. : Yeah. Electronic components these days don't go through little holes in the side of the pc board. Instead, they're planar. Yeah. They're just put on the surface. And some of these components are smaller than 1 mm by 1 mm. They're really tiny. Speaker A: Yeah. : And then it used to be ten years ago that they're larger. Maybe three, four, 5 can actually use tweezers and just put them on the board yourself. It'd take forever, but you could do it right. And then you'd put this whole board with all these components that you just very carefully put on the board, and you would put it inside of an oven and heat it up for about ten minutes. There'd be a particular heat profile, and that would solidify all of the solder and then connect all the components together. And after you had a board for prototyping, that was a thing to do. Nowadays, components are so small that even if you have a magnifying glass, if you partied the night before, your hand is not as steady anymore. So therefore, assembling these things. And I'm not saying that people should not party, but it kind of puts a cramping your style anyway. So this automated pick and place machine that we have now does that for you. It's a robot, and it just kind of like, has a tiny little suction cup at the end of a needle. So it just moves over the hand, moves over to where you have your components on a reel. They're in a bobbin. This is reel. And it just picks one up by applying a little bit of suction, kind of sucks it out of the reel and then moves it to an appropriate place on the board and just kind of releases gently. And it can handle things that a human hand cannot handle. So from that standpoint, it's a huge benefit. And it actually does it fast, and it doesn't party the night before, from what I know, it doesn't ask for. : Raises and it doesn't. : Yeah. Speaker A: So I have so many questions. I mean, I'm dying to see one of these working in action. I'm sure I could probably find it on YouTube. But how long does it take to populate a board that would go inside the mixer face or pork? : About ten minutes at this point. Speaker A: Wow. : Whereas if you do it by hand, you're probably, like, at it for a couple of hours. Speaker A: Oh, my gosh. Yeah. : And you're developing cramps. : When does it get to the point where it's like, just by order? When does it get to the point where you can make your board, you can assemble your board, you've got a 3d printer. Because I really like the case for the english channel. A lot of manufacturing is like, okay, we're going to make a product, and then there you have 60,000 of some plastic thing, and then maybe they sell, maybe they don't, and you just have a lot of extra waste and they're done. Here's like making these things as needed, right? : 3D printing. Yeah, we make everything for order, and we've been sheepish about it for a while until we got to the point where we figured out how to make it look good and also make it reliable so it doesn't break. So these 3D printed parts at this point are completely usable. I mean, they're not toys anymore. They're functional pieces of mechanical design. And we love that because we can change colors. You can get the tray, the commander console, we call it, for the english channel. You can get it in lime, lemon, red, blue, white, black, whatever, gray. And this is so easy for us to do otherwise we would have to order thousands of each color and then store them somewhere. And now we just have these reels of filament, which is this just essentially plastic out of which everything's being made, and then we can make them to order. So that's really great. And then as far as how long does it take? Well, the box that we make everything in is still aluminum. So that box, fortunately for us, we make a lot of different products inside that same box. So we can order it by a boatload from the manufacturer because there is a minimum order quantity. But we figured that we will go through the entire order because we will put different products in that same box, and that way we can afford to buy a whole bunch at once. Speaker A: So one more board thing is amazing. So after you've dropped tiny, tiny little components over this little board, so is that the point where it goes into the oven? And how do you keep the little tiny, tiny, tiny pieces from moving around. : You squeeze paste, solder, solder paste, the official name. You squeeze a layer of this gooey. It's just like toothpaste, but it's dark gray. And it has the property that when you heat it up, it solidifies and it becomes metal. But basically you get a stencil, which is this thin metal plate. Steel plate, very thin, less than a millimeter. And then holes for the components are laser cut inside of that steel plate. And then you put that steel plate over the board, line it up correctly, and then you use a squeegee to essentially squeeze that paste over the stencil. And then where the stencil has the holes, the paste drops through the holes onto the pc board and then forms the tiny little squares in appropriate places. Then they're a little sticky, just like toothpaste. And then when a component drops onto these two squares, for example, if component has two pins, right, it kind of gets stuck in the paste and it doesn't move. And then you can handle the board. I mean, you don't want to throw the board because the components will fly off. But if you carefully handle it and carefully move it into the oven, then the components will not move. And then what actually happens in the oven is a beautiful thing due to surface tension. Essentially, the components, once they heat up, they line up because the tiny little solder bolts. So essentially you have liquid metal at that point. If you remember the movie terminator, there was this other terminator guy that was essentially made out of liquid metal, and he could reassemble himself at all points. Remember that? Speaker A: Oh, yeah. : T two. Yeah, that's liquid tension is like when liquid gets together, it just kind of just forms this one thing wants to make a ball. Wants to make a ball. And that is what allows these tiny little components to get soldered to the pads in a very even sort of glowing pattern where all the solder gets utilized and none of it is left around because it all kind of tenses up and kind of sucks into one bowl in each little pad. Speaker A: That's cool, man. Thanks for describing that. That's really neat. : Michael, I actually had one quick question with the faces. Can you cut your own faces right now? : When you say faces, what are you referring to? : Like, all your pieces are made out of the same metal, sort of two pieces of metal. : Oh, I understand. : And right now, they always have the same four outside screw holes to hold them together. But then on the top of it, there's different holes for different knobs. And what I'm asking is, do you need to make seven holes in this one, three slots for a different switch. And you're able to do that all at your place now. I mean, could you theoretically just. : No, we still do it at a supplier, but. Good question. Yes. So the official term for this is platform strategy, is when you can make a lot of different things out of one thing. Another official term, if you want to keep going with the MBA speak. Design for postponement is what we're using here, if you want to be official about it, which means that you can make the decision on what the heck it is that you're building at the very last step. Right. Which also allows 3d printing is the same thing. You postpone the differentiation of the product, and then you can actually choose what you're building the day when you ship that thing. Right. Toyota has pioneered that in the 80s where with the whole just in time strategy and all that, because they were able to reduce the amount of stuff that they held at their warehouses, which were huge anyway. So what happens with these products is, on top of the product is this plastic overlay. It's actually a sticky sticker. Yeah, it's a thick sticker made out of polycarbonate. It's a polycarbonate overlay with an adhesive backing that we very carefully lay in this existing hole. And then that sticker we print. And then, fortunately, we have a supplier who doesn't want us to print thousands of them. They can print 100 at a time. And then those stickers themselves are not that expensive. And therefore we can get 100 stickers of each product and then essentially put the sticker on the product. The day we assemble the product and the day we ship it to the customer, which allows us to be a lot more flexible than a traditional manufacturing plant. : So then if you have the ability to drill your own holes and slots at some point, whatever CNC machine that. : Is, we have that. Speaker B: There you go. Speaker C: You do. : I haven't let you into the warehouse yet. You should come back. : I'd love to. Speaker C: Yeah, he's on his way. Speaker B: He's leaving now. : And on that note, as Andrew would say, yes. Speaker A: Well, that was fun. : Is it over?

I årene mellem 1725 og 1743 gennemførte det russiske imperium to gigantiske ekspeditioner gennem det barske og ufremkommelige Sibirien til Kamtjatka og det nordlige Stillehav. Den første ekspedition havde karakter af en ren flådeoperation, mens den anden blev historiens hidtil længste, største og mest ambitiøse europæiske opdagelsesrejse. Lederen for begge ekspeditioner var den danske søofficer Vitus Bering og med sig på begge ekspeditioner havde han sin landsmand, næstkommanderende, Spangsberg.Hvordan I alverden havnede danske Bering i russisk tjeneste og blev leder af en af verdenshistoriens mest spektakulære ekspeditioner? Og hvorfor er han ukendt for de fleste danskere i dag?Vært: Bjørn Harvig. Medvirkende: Merete Bøge Pedersen, ph.d. fra Institut for Historie og Områdestudier på Aarhus Universitet.

Early Migration To North America Likely Wasn't A One-Way Road The story of how early humans migrated to North America might not be as simple as we once thought. The prevailing theory was that ancient peoples traveled from Siberia to modern-day Alaska using the Bering strait as a land bridge. But new genomic research, published in Current Biology, reveals movement in the opposite direction, back to Asia, as well. Ira talks with Sophie Bushwick, technology editor at Scientific American, about the new research, and other top science stories of the week, including a new AI voice generator, a green comet visible visit in the night sky for the first time in 50,000 years, and how a specific atmospheric weather pattern caused historic flooding in California. Lab-Grown Meats Are Finally Inching Closer To Commercial The United States is one of the largest consumers of meat in the world, with the average American eating 273 pounds of meat per year That's not to say that tastes aren't changing: Nearly a quarter of Americans say they have cut down on meat consumption, and 41% of Americans under 50 have tried plant-based meat. There's been a wave of companies and academic institutions working on cellular agriculture—a fancy way of saying animal products grown from cells in labs, and not from a meat farm. While lab-grown meat is not available in grocery stores yet, the FDA gave approval to make meat from animal cell culture for the first time in November. Upside Foods, the company making the product, makes chicken from cells grown in tanks. Joining Ira to talk about cell agriculture are Andrew Stout, cellular agriculture biologist based in Boston, Massachusetts, and Aryé Elfenbein, co-founder of Wildtype, based in San Francisco, California, a company working on growing seafood from cells.

In 1848, New England ships crossed the Bering Strait in pursuit of the bowhead whales that provided their income. In the years since, the activity of outsiders- from hunters, to government bureaucrats from the US and Russia / Soviet Union, to consumers of energy who never set foot in the region- has had a deep impact on the region, but the environment of Beringia has made the place itself an active participant in this process. About a century and a half after New England whalers crossed the Bering Strait, Bathsheba Demuth graduated High School in Iowa and moved north of the Arctic Circle in the Yukon. She later earned a PhD in history, and is currently Associate Professor of History at Brown University. In this episode, Bathsheba joins Ben for a conversation about her research, how her fascination with the arctic led her to dedicate much of her life to understanding Beringia, and the ways that an environmental perspective allows us to better understand our place in the world and that of others. Bathsheba's new book, Floating Coast: An Environmental History of the Bering Strait was published by W.W. Norton & Co in 2019. It is a masterpiece.
