Right now, it's just shy of six trillion miles from from Earth; a quarter of the way towards Earth's next star. It's a programme about hope, about love, and about making a difference together. It's a programme about being united, about making a change, about taking care of one another. It's a programme about how amazing it would be if we found life somewhere else in the universe, about human accomplishment, achievement, and triumph against adversity.

And I finish the year, right here, where I started it – home, with my parents, my family, full of gratitude (and food) and ready to go again. The thing that I found so jarring about 2022 was the huge contrast between development and destruction. But there are reasons to be cheerful too. Cooperation. I see it everywhere. By working together, we're able to create something that is much greater than the sum of its parts. By sharing scientific knowledge, we've been able to make incredible strides in our understanding of the universe, and by sharing technological knowledge, we've been able to develop advanced tools and machines that have made our lives easier and more comfortable. Cooperation is essential for our survival. We are a social species. We depend on each other for protection, for food, and shelter. By working together, we are able to accomplish incredible things and ensure our survival in the universe. Reading the works of Ryan Holiday and hearing about stoicism has taught me that perspective and discipline is important. Priorities are important. You – I – am important. Millions of years ago, the human experiment began. And here you are; a miracle. If ever the world feels awful, if ever – like me – you get stuck in your own head, think bigger. The very molecules that make up your body come from the universe – the same galaxies that James Webb snapped, the same rock that Orion soared past… You are made of those. We are all connected and together, we can achieve amazing things. That perspective is important. Remember that as we head into 2023.

From Tiny Krill To Concrete Jungles: 2022's Best Science Books For Kids The holidays are right around the corner, which means for those who give gifts in December, now is the time to start putting together that shopping list. If you have a young person in your life who loves science, why not expand their library and get a book or two? Joining Ira to give their recommendation for the best children's science books of the year—both fiction and nonfiction—are Melissa Stewart, science book author based in Boston, Massachusetts, and Kristina Holzweiss, education technology specialist based on Long Island, New York. See the books at sciencefriday.com. Indigenous Knowledge Is Central To Climate Solutions As the United States observes Earth Day this year, many will be thinking about their personal relationship with—and responsibility to—the planet. But in an era of multiple planetary crises, including extinctions, global warming, and contaminated water, what about the Indigenous peoples whose millennia-old relationship with their land has been disrupted and sometimes severed by colonialism and other displacements?  Indigenous environmental scientist and author Jessica Hernandez talks to Ira about the harms the Western science has perpetuated against colonized people, as white environmentalists created national parks on Indigenous lands and “helicopter scientists” continue to do research in the global south while using the wealth of Western institutions. And she explains why greater recognition of Indigenous science, and partnerships that center Indigenous peoples and their research questions, is good for the entire planet.   Prizes For Science That Makes You Laugh, Then Think Prizes went to researchers for analyzing what makes legal documents unnecessarily difficult to understand. And for creating a moose crash-test dummy. And for explaining, mathematically, why success most often goes not to the most talented people, but instead to the luckiest. If that sounds like a strange set of awards—that's because it's the Ignobel Prize Ceremony. This year, for the 32nd year in a row, laureates gathered (virtually) to be recognized for their unusual contributions to the world of science and engineering. In the words of Marc Abrahams, editor of the Annals of Improbable Research and awards ceremony ringleader, “It's not about good or bad. If you win an Ignobel Prize, it means you've done something that will immediately cause anyone who hears about it to laugh, and then to think about it for the next few days or weeks.” Abrahams joins Ira to talk about the backstory of the awards, and to introduce some highlights from this year's online prize ceremony.   Transcripts for each segment will be available the week after the show airs on sciencefriday.com.

Mysteries of Science was nominated several times at the Publisher Podcast Awards earlier in the year. The ceremony was just a few days ago and Mysteries of Science walked away with two wins! One for Best Science & Medical Podcast and another for Best Launch. To celebrate, would you like some more episodes? The latest looks at the stuff of sailor's nightmares, an enormous creature so aggressive that it drags ships to their watery graves: the Kraken. I even wrote the piece for their magazine which is on newsstands right now. Entering awards always makes me feel odd. I tell myself that it's just a form of ego masturbation and ultimately pointless– and there's some truth to that – but really I'm just afraid of failure... Juggling the threat of failure with a greater need to progress is the theme of Return to Space, the story of Elon Musk's SpaceX. I didn't know much about him before last month. I knew he was the CEO of a car company and a space thing but not much more than that. Watching Return to Space, Inspiraition4 and hearing Elon interviewed on TED; all of that has really opened my mind. He's clearly very intelligent and I have a wide sense of confidence in his vision. Elon Musk is The Current Thing and one of the weirdest things has been watching the throng of shrill voices complain about his takeover as if anything's really going to change and as if billionaires don't already own huge swathes of the media landscape... I've also been glued to WeCrashed on Apple TV+, a fable of startups gone sour about the rise and fall of co-working empire WeWork. Starring Jared Leto and Anne Hathaway, it a thrilling watch. You can see the entire series now. In the world of music, Bloc Party's Alpha Games is a return to their familiar sound and I'm excited for Florence and The Machine's new album, Dance Fever too. Josh Ramsay's written some of the biggest pop songs of the past decade including Call Me Maybe and hits for 5 Seconds of Summer. The Josh Ramsay Show is his debut and one of the best albums I've heard so far this year with each track being a different genre. Miles and Miles is one of my favourites. I've got a busy month ahead. In a few weeks I'll be in Malmo at RadioDays Europe. If you're going to be there, let me know. I'm also moving house towards the end of the month too. More on those things next time. You'll next hear from me on May 21st 2022 – my 27th birthday.

Glitter Gets An Eco-Friendly Glimmer Glitter—it's everywhere this time of year. You open up a holiday card, and out comes a sprinkle of it. And that glitter will seemingly be with you forever, hugging your sweater, covering the floor. But glitter doesn't stop there. It washes down the drain, and travels into the sewage system and waterways. Since it's made from microplastics, it's never going away. As it turns out, all that glitters is not gold—or even biodegradable. But what if you could make glitter that was biodegradable? Silivia Vignolini, professor of chemistry at the University of Cambridge joins Ira to discuss her latest discovery—eco-glitter made from plant cellulose.   The Best Science Books Of 2021 Another year is in the books.

In the US, we've become accustomed to climate – like nearly everything else – being politicized. Even when potential solutions might benefit everyone, a zero-sum mentality has taken hold where there's an “us” and a “them” and progress for them comes at the expense of us. “Racism in our politics and policymaking is distorting our ability to respond to big problems and to advance collective solutions,” says political strategist Heather McGhee. But does it have to be this way? Can we look to the UK and elsewhere for a different model? Is it even possible to make the whole planet a winner?

The Rollbacks of 2019 / The Best Science and Nature Writing / Endangered Species Success Stories / Barren-Ground Caribou As we open a new year, Living on Earth looks back on key environmental developments of 2019. Last year saw the rollbacks of more than 80 environmental rules under the Trump Administration. Critics say these changes will harm more than the climate: they'll hurt business, the environment, and human health. Law professor Pat Parenteau joins us for an overview of some of the key regulatory rollbacks. And 2019 brought both good news and bad news for endangered species. While the Trump Administration finalized changes to the Endangered Species Act that could slow species' recovery, birds like the Kirtland's warbler, least tern and more have bounced back thanks to the ESA. And from a quirky little fish, to a couple of stonefly species that depend on melting glaciers to survive, a few more species received much-needed ESA protections. Also, the best science writing strives to entertain and educate in equal measures, and to help make the jargon of the scientific world accessible to the general public. And with bestselling science writer Sy Montgomery at the helm, the 2019 edition of the Best American Science and Nature Writing was sure to bring together some fascinating science journalism.

I mean what were we supposed to do with kidney stones! They're not even load bearing like regular stones. Let's be honest; if left purely to the whims of evolution a whole bunch of us would not be alive for this event. To feed the lion nature sacrifices the goat. And the goat didn't really get a say in it. The goat would probably be happier if the lion survived off protein pills and video games. And who gets to draw the line as to what even is natural? I mean, everything is of nature, if you squint hard enough. With the right mind set real estate agents are natural. And banking holidays.

This week we welcome Sonya Pemberton to the show. She is one of Australia’s leading factual television producers specialising in science. She has written, directed and produced over 50 hours of broadcast documentary and executive produced many award-winning factual series and one-off programs. Sonya was Head of Specialist Factual at ABC Television from 2004-2007, where she commissioned 300+ hours of factual television. Her understanding of audiences’ desire for smart, accessible TV saw ratings rise across the genres. Sonya’s science programs have won more than 30 major international awards and she has been three times honoured with the prestigious Eureka Prize for Science Journalism (2003, 2004, 2008). In 2011 Immortal won the Australian Health Journalist of the Year, Best Science at Jackson Hole Wildlife Film Festival and, in 2012, US News and Documentary Emmy for Outstanding Science Programming. In 2011 Sonya joined forces with Australia’s largest Independent production company Cordell Jigsaw Zapruder (CJZ) to create Genepool Productions – Australia’s first television production company focusing on quality science programming. Genepool’s first feature documentary, Jabbed – love fear and vaccines, was broadcast on SBS TV, May 26 2013. Questions asked in the episode   - How can we tell if our supplements are of a good quality? - Were there any alarming discoveries regarding vitamins while making the film? - Many vitamins proclaim to be 100% natural, is this just a marketing ploy?   https://shop.180nutrition.com.au   00:44 This week. I'm excited to welcome Sonia Pemberton. Sonia is one of Australia's leading documentary producers and she specializes in making compelling high quality science films. Her films have been screened in dozens of international festivals and won more than 70 major awards, including an Emmy for outstanding science programming. In this episode we discuss Sonya's latest film, Vitamania that digs deep into the vitamin industry. We chat about the safety of these products, the current regulations, and ask the question if we actually need them at all. The movie completely reshaped my opinion on the humble vitamin pill and I thoroughly recommend watching it. I hope you enjoyed this episode as much as I did. Let's get over to Sonya. Hey guys, this is Stu from 180 Nutrition and I am delighted to welcome Sonya Pemberton to the show. Good morning, Sonya. How are you? Sonya 01:40 Hello Stu. I'm very well. Thank you. Stu 01:42 Good stuff. Well, thank you first up for sharing some of your time with us today. And before we get into the conversation, I would love it if you could just tell our listeners a little bit about who you are, what you do, and perhaps why you do it as well.
