Marine scientists can't be everywhere at once. To really understand what's happening below the waves, though, they need a lot of observations—from many places at many times. So they're getting help from recreational divers. The divers can carry instruments, or just log what they see.One project is set to begin in December. Known as BlueDot, it'll provide insights into how the Mediterranean Sea is warming up—not only at the surface, but down to more than a hundred feet.Many divers wear small computers on their wrists. The computer records location, depth, temperature, and more. Divers who undergo special training can upload those observations to a central database. Scientists then analyze the results, producing a much better picture of the changing sea.Another project has been around since 2010—the Great Goliath Grouper Count. Divers at artificial reefs off the coast of Florida log details about the goliath grouper.It's one of the largest species of bony fish—up to eight feet long and 800 pounds. But the grouper was overfished, so its population plunged. It's been protected since 1990, so the numbers have gone up. But the extent of the recovery is still unclear.Volunteer divers keep an eye out for the grouper during the first half of June. They report where they see the fish, the depth, the size of the fish, and more. That helps biologists determine the goliath grouper population—even if they can't be everywhere at once.

The race for the White House is entering its final phase as the calendar changes to October this week, and some experts are saying the contest could come down to one small part of the nation, Nebraska's second district. The state, that splits its presidential delegates, has only awarded a Democrat a delegate in that district twice since 1992, but Democrats are hopeful they can win to avoid a potential tie in the Electoral College. Senator Pete Ricketts (R-NE) joins the Rundown to discuss the importance of Nebraska's “blue dot” district, reacts to Vice President Harris' visit to the southern border, and shares his thoughts on Israel's strike against Hezbollah that killed its leader Hassan Nasrallah. Almost half of the population in the United States has been diagnosed with a chronic disease. Yet, many are considered to be diet-related, such as heart disease, diabetes, and obesity. As the U.S. gets sicker, Dr. Marty Makary thinks it's time for a wider conversation regarding the nation's health. Dr. Makary, a surgeon and professor at Johns Hopkins University, joins to discuss his new book Blind Spots: When Medicine Gets It Wrong, and What It Means for Our Health.

Welcome back to Making Bank! Today's episode we have Naveen Jain, who is a visionary entrepreneur and philanthropist, dedicated to addressing the world's most pressing challenges through innovation. He has founded several successful companies, including Moon Express, BlueDot, Viome, TalentWise, and InfoSpace, each reflecting his commitment to transformative solutions.   (3:40) Being An Entrepreneur Many people believe that being an entrepreneur means starting a company. However, true entrepreneurs are problem solvers. There are three types of people: those who identify problems, those who complain about them, and those who are smart enough to find solutions.   (6:05) Selling Your Vision When you begin with a clear belief or vision, focus on your audacious goal—the big problem you're trying to solve. If people believe in you and your vision, they'll be eager to support and invest in everything you offer.   (13:10) Achieving Big Goals When you set a big, audacious goal, break it down into the smallest actionable steps. Each step you take should move you closer to that goal. You can't achieve the big picture all at once, so focus on executing one slice at a time. By the time you're finished, you'll have completed the entire journey.   (17:42) Microbiome Your gut microbiome produces essential nutrients your body needs, like short-chain fatty acids. To maintain this balance, you must feed your microbiome the right foods. Personalized nutrition is key, as our unique microbiomes require specific diets for optimal health.   (30:47) Raising Kids Make sure your kids know your love is unconditional, but your approval must be earned. Teach them that true self-worth comes from creating, not just owning. Wealth doesn't define value—contribution does.   (39:52) Mindset As an entrepreneur, focus on addressing root causes and creating abundance. While sustainability often gets equated with conservation—using less to save more—the real path to success is about generating more, not just cutting back. To achieve true sustainability, focus on creating more of everything, rather than merely conserving.   (48:56) Intellectual Curiosity Intellectual curiosity is crucial; if you're not learning every day, you risk becoming obsolete. Stopping your pursuit of knowledge equates to stagnation. To stay vibrant and relevant, continually seek new learning opportunities.   Tags: Instagram: Naveen Jain @naveenjainceo
