Podcasts about bird brains

Birds do the darnedest things. They fly, of course. They sing. They hunt in pitch darkness. They hide their food and remember where they put it. They use tools and migrate over astonishingly vast distances—sometimes even sleeping while in flight. How do they do all this? What's going on in their brains that makes these and other remarkable behaviors possible? How did their evolutionary path mold them into the incredible creatures they are today? My guests today are Dr. Andrew Iwaniuk and Dr. Georg Striedter. Andrew is a comparative neuroscientist and Associate Professor at the University of Lethbridge in Canada. Georg is a Professor of Neurobiology and Behavior at the University of California, Irvine. Together they are the authors of the new book, Bird Brains and Behavior: A Synthesis (available open access here). Here, Georg, Andrew, and I consider the deep history of birds—how they skirted the mass extinction event that felled the dinosaurs, and then radiated out into the 11,000 plus species we know today. We talk about how bird brains differ from those of mammals and reptiles—in terms of their size, but also in terms of their major structures, and in terms of their wrinkliness. We tour some of the most peculiar and perplexing bird behaviors, and consider their neural and anatomical underpinnings. Finally, we consider what we can learn from bird brains, not just about birds but about brains in general—how they evolve, how they get wired up, how they do and do not vary. Along the way we touch on barn owls, hummingbirds, megapodes, mallards, pigeons, parrots, starlings, and underestimated waterfowl; we touch on how birds' brains change with the seasons; the enduring mystery of magnetoreception; the possibility of olfactory maps; the optocollic reflex; the social intelligence hypothesis and the extractive foraging hypothesis; precocial versus altricial bird species; split-body gynandromorphy; and the future of non-invasive work in bird neuroscience.

Your weekly inspiration for post PhD career development with me, David Mendez. What steps brought you from your PhD to TWIS, to This Week in Science? Kirsten Sanford: After my PhD, I finished and I was like, okay, this is what I'm doing now. I'm going to be a science communicator. I'm going to try and re. And this is before science communicator was really even a term or a word. It was like this nascent idea. People were starting to use it, but it wasn't really adopted yet. I remember going, what am I? Who am I? How do I describe myself to people? And yeah, thank goodness Science Communicator has grabbed a hold. But what I started doing is I started going to conferences and networking and trying to meet a larger community of people doing a similar thing. So podcasting. I no longer going to the science conferences, the research conferences so much. I started going to the podcasting conferences and doing the podcasting conferences. I started meeting a whole bunch of people in that field. And again, with mentors being so important, I met a guy named Alex Lindsey, and he worked on a podcast called this Week in Tech. And so I was at this podcasting conference and I saw his name tag with his podcast name, and I went up to him and I said, hey, you're this Week in Tech. I'm this Week in Science. And he said, hey. And we started talking. And that led to a collaboration, doing a video program. And this is right at the beginning of itunes starting to offer video podcasts. It wasn't even YouTube, wasn't even a huge deal yet. And we did a series called Food Science. And I, we created 14 videos related to various aspects of food science. It was super fun. And along that way, I. That was again, getting to use my, you know, my video production skills. I was writing scripts, I was doing the hosting. So I learned how to do more on camera work through that. David Mendes: Okay. Kirsten Sanford: And in that effort, he introduced me to the host of and the founder of this Week in Tech, Leo Laporte. And Leo Laporte. Then this is kind of step by step, Leo laporte said, hey, do you want to come do some stuff with Twit? And said, hey, that'd be great. And so I started doing some work with this Week in tech, commentating on certain things, doing a little bit more tech reporting instead of specifically Science. So TWIS was a podcast. We were still at KBBS doing the radio show. That's it. So, but I, because I had finished, I moved back to San Francisco. I was no longer. So I kind of bounced back and forth between Davis and San Francisco. And I was like, okay, we got to keep TWIS going. The podcast format is amazing. I love live radio. I love live. How can we keep that happening? And so, because I had met Leo, he was doing live streaming on his TWIT video network. And I asked him if we could use his network to broadcast this week in Science.And so that's. We made the move from live on KDBS Davis to live on twit. And we became a video stream, a live video program. And I'd take the audio and then I would send the audio to KDBS and I would put the audio up as a podcast. And so we started distributing in these different ways. You know, I kept working on different video shows and then expanded my work on the TWIT network. And I started doing an interview program called Dr. Kiki Science Hour, which I did about a hundred episodes, just over a hundred episodes, I believe. And TWIS was going the whole time. And then at a certain point, TWIT was expanding, but then they decided they really needed to. They needed to pare themselves down. And so they got rid of all third party produced programs, which meant TWIS had to find a new home, we had to find a new platform. Google Hangouts was just becoming a thing. We took advantage of Google Hangouts and started broadcasting TWIS to YouTube live. David Mendes: Live to YouTube. Kirsten Sanford: And then this summer, Google Hangouts went away and we found a new platform. And now we are using a platform called Streamyard to broadcast to YouTube. But we have visions now of expanding to Twitch. And I'm. Yeah, we, we. I'm trying to develop the funding model to be able to expand the number of programs that we offer. And that's where I am right now, because I want to go back to doing more interview shows. So now I'm looking outward at doing more. More production myself and expanding TWIS. But TWIS  just did our 740th estimated podcast episode. I mean, yeah, in terms, that's estimating that we started officially podcasting on iTunes in 2005, basing it on about 50 episodes a year, our estimate of about where we are, we can hit 800 next year. Yeah, and we're super excited about that. But I mean, in reality we've been like, you know, pretty much nonstop since 99, 2000, so it's huge. David Mendes: And like now you've, you know, you've, you're telling me your story and I'm just, you know, starting to get this, this picture of how much you've had to learn in this because you know, in this domain of producing content, of dealing with distribution platforms, how did you go about, did you, are you self taught in all of this? Were there like apart from the AAS program that you fellowship? Yeah, yeah, the mass media fellowship. Apart from that, was there other training that you felt was necessary that you get to be able to step it up in terms of, you know, taking grasp of these technologies or how did you go about getting this? Kirsten Sanford: Yeah, so all of it. I am self taught. I have paid attention to people. So all of the editors I've ever worked with, I watched them as they were editing. I paid attention to what they were doing and asked questions as we were setting up cameras and lights to do the shoot. Even though I wasn't the camera person or the lighting person or the sound person, I paid attention and I asked questions. Every time I've done something, I try to be involved and engaged in what I'm doing and not just. I've really tried to not just be focused on my one little part of a project, to pay attention to how it fits in with the other aspects of the project as a whole. And so in doing that, now, you know, I've self taught. I'm not the best editor, but I have been editing my own audio for years. I edit video now. I can work as the production tech, I can set up the sound and I can make a recording. I can be a single individual going out, recording an interview, come back, edit it and put out a final product. I taught myself how to do that. The things that I have also taught myself how to do, which I think I gained more experience in as a graduate student, are the business management aspects. Because you, I mean, I'm still terrible at time management. I am a scatterbrain and I always, I've always been one of those people who work great under pressure and it would be better if I could organize myself better because then I wouldn't like a little ball of nerves all the time error. But I do think that a lot of how I've been able to organize What I do organize is the skills that I learned while I was in graduate school in starting a project, finishing a project, writing it up, you know, all the project management skills that go so unacknowledged. David Mendes: Yeah, that's one of the big things that I like to try and dispel. One of the myths or the popular beliefs about doing a PhD is that if you don't fall into academia, then you don't have skills. You will have lost that time because you didn't develop real world skills, let's say. And it's totally not true. And I'm super happy that you're mentioning that because it's not everyone that can hop onto a three year, five year, seven year project without sweating it and taking it to the last stage and defending and concluding it and presenting it. So definitely, I agree 200%. Kirsten Sanford: And I think I, you know, the other really unacknowledged skill is, you know, like I'm like I was able to pick things up and still try to pick new things up even though I have this like, oh my God, this is another thing I have to learn. This technology is, you know, because technology is always moving forward. Oh, I have to learn this new skill. I have to do this new thing that is grad school. Every time you want to add a new technique to your studies to be able to ask a certain question, you learn something new. I mean, it is this mindset you learn while a student that you can always learn something. David Mendes: Thank you for listening to this new episode of season six of beyond the Theses with Papa PhD.

On today's episode, I talk to Merrill Garbus and Nate Brenner of the band Tune-Yards. Started by Merrill in the mid-aughts, Tune-Yards first official release Bird-Brains came out in 2009 on 4AD. Almost immediately, the band began to garner acclaim from Pitchfork, the Village Voice and many other publications. After the release of Bird-Brains, Merrill moved to Oakland where Nate lived, and since then, the two have recorded five more albums, a number of singles, as well as the score to the Boots Riley film Sorry to Bother You. Their latest, Better Dreaming, just came out a few weeks ago on 4AD, and it's wonderful! This is the website for Beginnings, subscribe on Apple Podcasts, follow me on Twitter.

Bright colors, long tails, and dances of seduction: they may hurt a bird's chances of survival in the wild, but they seem to increase the chances of reproduction. Is this all part of natural selection or is sexual selection its own force in the bird world? Is there such a thing as beauty for beauty's sake? What can we learn from birds about the human experience of beauty? Listen as author and naturalist Matt Ridley speaks with EconTalk's Russ Roberts about a puzzle that kept Darwin up at night and that still troubles modern evolutionary biologists.

Video - https://youtu.be/rE6QFY2u2LEImagine a world where borders vanish into thin air—and no passports required! Birds glide effortlessly across an imaginary international line, highlighting nature's humorous disregard for human-made boundaries. This whimsical scene playfully invites reflection on migration, freedom, and the amusing absurdity of bureaucracy in nature's context. A visual delight with a message tucked beneath its wings!Here's the question I asked ChatGPT:"So do migrating birds need a passport, visa, or other papers to legally cross borders and migrate to a different country? I thought this might be an interesting question to ask since illegal migration is a hot topic. Thanks"Migration is a complex issue. Hopefully looking at it in a different manner will get more folks involved in fixing the problem instead of arguing about it.I used ChatGPT 4.5, VLC, ZOOM's Clips, ScreenPal, and Pictory.ai to put this information together.If you're interested in trying Pictory.ai please use the following link. https://pictory.ai?ref=t015o

STORY 2: Georgia Gwinnett College students are CPR-ready At Georgia Gwinnett College (GGC), all students are required to take a course that includes compression-only CPR training, equipping over 7,300 students annually with life-saving skills. Dr. Ken Horowitz, assistant professor of physical education, emphasizes the effectiveness of chest compressions, which keep oxygen flowing until paramedics arrive. Students also learn to use automated external defibrillators (AEDs), with 69 AEDs available across campus. The American Heart Association supports chest-only CPR, which can boost survival rates from 10% to over 40% when performed immediately during cardiac arrest. Many trained students and staff have successfully applied these skills in real emergencies. STORY 3: Bird Brains — Georgia Gwinnett College students learn scientific thinking thanks to their feathered friends Georgia Gwinnett College students in an experimental methods class study birds to learn scientific methodology and analyze environmental data. Led by biology instructors Maria Fernandez and Dr. Mia Malloy, students observe, listen for, and band birds to assess biodiversity and the effects of urbanization in Gwinnett County. Birds serve as bioindicators of environmental health, with some species thriving in urban areas while others decline. The hands-on research, conducted at GGC’s campus, Collins Hill Park, and Harbins Park, helps students gain confidence in fieldwork and critical thinking. Findings are presented at semester’s end, with some students developing a passion for bird studies. We have opportunities for sponsors to get great engagement on these shows.

Are birds the real ones and us humans are just overstaying our welcome on their planet? Do any of the currently available options to fight baldness actually work or are we just that desperate??

Answers to all of these questions and more on the latest episode of Bird Brains

By not-so-popular demand, The Bird Brains are back! In this episode, we break down the 2024 Virginia Tech Football Season and the Hokie's upcoming opponents

This episode—which is Number 98—delves into the fascinating world of the avian brain. Despite the long-standing misconception that "bird brain" equates to being unintelligent, recent scientific research reveals that birds possess remarkably sophisticated brains, rivaling the intelligence of primates and even humans in some respects. By tracing the evolutionary paths of both mammals and birds from a common ancestor, I explain how birds have developed unique brain structures that enable complex thought processes, decision-making, and problem-solving.We'll explore the anatomical intricacies of a bird's brain, breaking down its basic architecture into the forebrain, midbrain, and hindbrain. I highlight the critical role of structures like the hyperpallium and the dorsal ventricular ridge in enabling advanced cognitive abilities. Additionally, the discussion touches on brain plasticity, neuron density, and the specific regions involved in vocalization and memory.~~ Leave me a review using Podchaser ~~Link to this episode on the Science of Birds website Support the Show.

In the past few decades, radio has become a real sh*thole medium.It's real programming and Music Carnage out there, people. And I alone can fix it. The fix is 3 Chords & the Truth. Bigly."Sir, I turn on the radio, and all I hear is crap. Where is this fixing you talk about?"I am glad you asked that question. And I will answer it while my Enthusiastic Supporters beat the crap out of you for your insulating . . . insurance? Impotence?I will tell you the suppressed truth while my Enthusiastic Supporters beat the crap out of you for being a Smart Ass.THE TRUTH is that Deep Radio wants this program to fail. The big men at Big Companies are censoring the programming genius -- a very great genius -- that is the Big Show. They won't put it on the air . . . something about "formatics." And that shows you what kind of Bird Brains make up Deep Radio; the show has nothing to do with countertops.They don't have a clue. They don't have a clue.And I have very wonderful countertops. The best countertops. I also have the best Music Show on the Internets, but it's not a countertop. I guess you can put your computer or smartphone on the countertop -- maybe put some speakers up there, too.It would look wonderful. It would, I think, work out very nicely. But 3 Chords & the Truth is not a countertop, but who knows? We have some Very Great Scientists . . . and I could have been a scientist, a Very Great Scientist, very much like Fat Albert Einstein . . . now that's a guy who could make the show also be a countertop, and we're working on that now . . . we're trying to get Einstein in on the project as I speak.And we'll get there. We'll get there. Because I alone can fix it, and the fix is in; we're Fixing right now.It's 3 Chords & the Truth, y'all. Be there. Covfefe.
