Podcasts about Canary Islands

Friday of the 29th Week in Ordinary Time Optional Memorial of St. Anthony Mary Claret, 1807-1870; missionary, religious founder, social reformer, queen’s chaplain, writer and publisher, archbishop, and refugee; he was a Spaniard whose work took him to the Canary Islands, Cuba, Madrid, Paris, and to the First Vatican Council; at age 42, he founded the Claretians; he was appointed to the archdiocese of Santiago, Cuba; he was later recalled to Spain as the queen's chaplain; in the revolution of 1868, he fled to Paris with the queen’s party, where he preached to the Spanish colony; at the age of 63, he died in exile near the Spanish border Office of Readings and Morning Prayer for 10/24/25 Gospel: Luke 12:54-59

In this episode, we speak with Dr. Mar Fernández-Méndez, founder of MacroCarbon and professor at the University of Bremen, about her journey from Arctic ice researcher to seaweed entrepreneur. Dr. Fernández shares how she's turning pelagic sargassum into sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) while creating a carbon-negative process that enhances marine biodiversity.Dr. Fernández discusses:How Sargassum differs from other algae approaches, avoiding the pitfalls that have plagued microalgae biofuel attempts for decades.MacroCarbon's integrated biorefinery that produces multiple revenue streams: bio-stimulants for agriculture, biochar for permanent carbon sequestration, carbon black for tyres and batteries, and ultimately SAF through Fischer-Tropsch synthesis.The company's unique approach to hydrogen production, generating its own hydrogen internally rather than requiring external green hydrogen inputs.Competitive economics at scale: producing SAF for lower than current market biofuel prices, while being species-agnostic and able to use any brown or green seaweed.Securing partnerships with Iberia, Airbus, and Repsol through Spain's All 4 Zero Challenge, with plans to produce test samples for certification and eventual off-take agreements.The roadmap from pilot to first-of-a-kind commercial facility in the Canary Islands, then expansion to Morocco, Azores, Cape Verde, and the Caribbean.Balancing academia and entrepreneurship: maintaining her professorship while commercialising proven technology, and the parallels between academic grant-writing and startup fundraising.The importance of storytelling in deep tech, moving beyond just having good data to communicating vision effectively for investors.The "BlueSaf Plus" vision for 2035: carbon-negative biofuels that enhance marine biodiversity by maintaining floating ecosystems, proving we can have both healthy oceans and sustainable aviation.Learn more about the innovators who are navigating the industry's challenges to make sustainable aviation a reality, in our new book 'Sustainability in the Air: Volume 2'.

How is the Spanish sparkling wine Cava different from the Italian bubbly Prosecco? What makes Xarel·lo stand out from Spain's other traditional Cava grapes? How did Alicante's Monastrell grape give rise to the rare Fondillón wine, and what makes it different from Port or Sherry? In this episode of the Unreserved Wine Talk podcast, I'm chatting with Sarah Jane Evans, author of the terrific new book The Wines of Central and Southern Spain: From Catalunya to Cadiz. You can find the wines we discussed at https://www.nataliemaclean.com/winepicks.   Giveaway Two of you are going to win a copy of Sarah Jane Evans' wonderful new book, The Wines of Central and Southern Spain: From Catalunya to Cadiz. To qualify, all you have to do is email me at natalie@nataliemaclean.com and let me know that you've posted a review of the podcast. I'll choose two people randomly from those who contact me. Good luck!   Highlights What do you need to know about Xarel·lo and Spanish sparkling wine? How does Cava compare to Prosecco? What effect does the aging process used for premium Cavas have on their taste profile, and how does it compare to Champagne? What is the historical significance of the Terra Alta region? Which historical artifacts has Sarah Jane encountered while visiting Spanish vineyards? How does Richard Ford's 1840s observation about Valencia still define Spanish wine culture in the Valencia region? What might surprise you about the ancient amphorae in Valencia and how they're used in modern winemaking? How do the three main styles of Sherry differ? Which types of glassware and food pair best with Sherry? What are copitas, and how do they differ from other glasses used for Sherry? How does serving temperature affect our enjoyment of Sherry? What do you need to know about wine and the Canary Islands? What challenges and opportunities does Sarah Jane see for the future of the Spanish wine industry?   Key Takeaways How is the Spanish sparkling wine Cava different from the Italian bubbly Prosecco? Prosecco bubbles are created and captured in the tank to make it a pleasantly fizzy drink. Whereas Cava is made exactly like Champagne. It's aged in the bottle with its yeast. It begins to develop other aromas which are nothing to do with flowers or fruits. The youngest Cava, can be released at nine months, younger than the youngest Champagne. If you're going to have a very young fizzy wine, then Prosecco is very appealing. What makes Xarel·lo stand out from Spain's other traditional Cava grapes? People have started to recognise that this white grape variety, once just a component in blending, can be grown on its own and produces lovely, fresh, excitingly lively wines that are not very high in alcohol. If you're making Cava, it's the one that will last. It has a capacity to age, which is better than the other two. How did Alicante's Monastrell grape give rise to the rare Fondillón wine, and what makes it different from Port or Sherry? Alicante is one of the places for Monastrell. Historically, they used to make a wine out of this red grape that got so ripe they didn't need to fortify it because the grape on the vine got so sweet that it turned itself into alcohol. Then it was a wine that was stable enough you could have it in a barrel. Then you could send it to India or to Africa, all around the world.   About Sarah Jane Evans Sarah Jane is an award-winning writer.

I came into this conversation thinking that I'd be chatting about the trivialities of an expedition through South America and I left in a state of absolute disbelief and awe. Oliver Treviso is a fascinating and incredible individual who has become the first person ever to hike the length of the Andes through Argentina, Chile, Bolivia, Peru, Ecuador, Colombia and Venezuela. In this first episode, we discuss how this adventure came to be...his experience sailing in a catamaran across the Atlantic from the Canary Islands to Brazil, and by all accounts the boat was hardly seaworthy. Then, a love for South America was kindled and before long, he was back on the continent and hiked for 21 months, for 8000 miles and wearing out nine pairs of shoes. The journey was not without its hazards and dangers, but he made it. We'll record a second episode with Oliver to hear more about his time in Colombia and Venezuela, but for the time being, tune in to an amazing story of human kindness and spirit. Oliver is raising money for, Mind Ystradgynlais, a mental health charity and you can donate here: https://minditv.org.uk/walking-the-andes/   The Colombia Briefing is reported by Emily Hart: https://harte.substack.com Support us: https://patreon.com/colombiacalling

I first spoke with Michelle Lee back in July, 2017 when she shared her goal to complete the world's toughest nautical challenge; the Talisker Whisky Atlantic Challenge.A 5,300km / 2900 nautical mile solo, unassisted and self-supported ocean rowing event across the Atlantic from the Canary Islands off the coast of Spain all the way to Antigua in the Caribbean.In February 2019, Michelle achieved her goal and, in the process, became the first Australian woman to row across an ocean.Now there's one key piece of information you need to know; Michelle did not come from a rowing background.At the time she set the goal, she had never pulled an oar through the water.In fact, when Michelle pulled out of the dock at the start of the race, she had never rowed in the open ocean (all her training had been confined to inside Sydney Heads). Wow!So in this week's episode of Sparta Chicks Radio, Michelle rejoins me to share what's happened in the last 18 months since we first spoke, as well as how this incredible race unfolded for her.

He acquired Pergamon Press in 1951, which became the foundation of his media holdings. Over the years, Maxwell expanded his business interests into newspapers, including the acquisition of the Daily Mirror Group in 1984, making him one of Britain's most prominent media moguls.Maxwell was known for his flamboyant lifestyle and charismatic personality, often attracting both admiration and criticism. He was a Member of Parliament for the Labour Party from 1964 to 1970, representing Buckingham.However, Maxwell's business practices came under scrutiny, particularly concerning his use of employee pension funds to finance his various ventures. His companies' financial dealings were often opaque, and there were allegations of fraud and embezzlement.In 1991, Maxwell's empire came crashing down when he mysteriously disappeared while sailing on his yacht, the Lady Ghislaine, near the Canary Islands. His body was later found in the Atlantic Ocean, and the circumstances of his death remain controversial.

Hola! It's Jorge and Fran from Spanish Loops, sneaking again into your earbuds like a surprise tapas plate at midnight: witty, chilled, and absolutely unmissable. We've got a killer episode lined up. This global anti tourism wave that is crossing Europe.And about Spain, especially in the sunny but mad Catalonia and the Canary Islands. Think less of a vacay checklist and more locals saying, “Wow, who invited all these selfies?”Picture this: water pistol armed residents chasing off tourist hordes like it's some kind of benign, spray and dash flash mob…, pure surreal vibes. It's less “here's your sangria” and more here's a sticker that reads “Mass tourism kills the city.” You've got Catalans and Canarians basically sending a warm but firm “not now, thanks” to cruise ship style visitor overload.And get this, locals are trending “touristification sucks” in real life. They're saying: “Don't hate the traveler, hate the structure that's turned our streets into themed park backdrops.”Its activism turned into playful theatre, with flares, banners, and cardboard cruise ships parading down Venetian alleys like some post-tourism performance art.So, if your next scroll is on Instagram or YouTube, stick with us.

In this episode, we talk with French field recordist and artist Mélia Roger about her film Dear Phonocene, currently featured in the Projected Ecologies program within the exhibition Pulsar at MUCA in Mexico City. Mélia shares how the work emerged from over a decade of listening to the monoculture Douglas fir plantations near her parents' home, spaces she describes as “post-natural” and marked by biodiversity loss. Blending fiction, performance, and documentary, the project imagines “acoustic enrichment” as a form of care—playing back past soundscapes to acknowledge what has been lost. We discuss her collaboration with other women recordists, the role of human presence and “noisy non-self” in the film's soundscape, and the interplay between slow listening and the fast pace of image-making. Mélia reflects on grief, hope, and tenderness in altered landscapes, the technical and ethical dimensions of playback, and her evolving research on post-natural listening within her PhD work. Plus, we hear about her upcoming explorations of cetacean sound in the Canary Islands.Mélia Roger (*1996, she/her) is a field recordist and artist engaged to inspire ecological change with environmental and empathic listening. Her work explores the sonic poetics of the landscape, searching for the invisible layers between human and non-humans. Coming from a sound engineering background (ENS Louis-Lumière in Paris, ZHdK in Zurich), Mélia is developing a twofold activity between immersive 7.0.2 sound recordings within HAL, as well as a more experimental and naturalistic approach to listening. Now at Le Fresnoy, she is a practice-based PhD candidate at the University of Lille, focusing on the relations between sound arts and acoustic ecology.https://www.meliaroger.com/portfolio/project-two-llrgk-blz6chttps://www.instagram.com/meliarog/https://muca.unam.mx/pulsar.htmlhttps://www.lydianstater.co/projected-ecologies

Michelle Lee is a quintessential ordinary Australian woman who has set out to do something extraordinary. In December 2017, she'll attempt the Talisker Whisky Atlantic Challenge, a 5,000km unassisted and self-supported ocean rowing event across the Atlantic from the Canary Islands off the coast of Spain to Antigua in the Caribbean. If she completes it, she'll become the first Australian woman to row across an ocean.But Michelle isn't a rower and doesn't come from a rowing background. So how does an ordinary everyday woman find the courage and bravery to attempt one of the world's toughest nautical challenges as an absolute newbie in the sport? And what does it take to complete this event? I ask her in this episode.

It's a skeleton crew this week — Andy's allegedly hiding out in the Canary Islands (probably dodging Konnan), so it's just Dan, Brett, and Lucy steering this runaway train.Karrion Kross and Scarlett's contracts might be expiring… or it might be a work… or maybe it's just a distraction while WWE sleepwalks through another PR nightmare.

Not many people can say that they have ever rowed an ocean; in fact, more people (until very recently) can say that they have been to space than have rowed an ocean. For Team Seneca Navy, this task, known as the "World's Toughest Row," is the only obvious choice for the next step in their lives. This crew of four partially-crazy, fully-adventurous rowers will take off from the shores of the Canary Islands and row across the Atlantic Ocean, before landing in Antigua. By name, these rowers are David Ranney (Cleveland, OH, USA), Moritz Marchart (Stuttgart, Germany), Anthony Carella (Vaughan, ON, Canada), and Ryan Mulflur (Hingham, MA, USA). In episode 55 of the "Chats with Clark" Podcast, Team Seneca Navy joins the show just a few months before they take off to share what they anticipate, mourn over what they have yet to anticipate, and inspire all of us to pursue better versions of ourselves. In fact, that is the very mission of the nonprofit that the crew started to support their efforts. All of the funds raised throughout the process of the race will go to charities that share this profound mission. Tune in to hear the epitome of the phrase "trusting the process" and the ambition of four gentlemen who not only want to compete in the world's toughest race, but win it! Forever will the members of Team Seneca Navy be known for their courageous efforts in a highly unique endeavor that benefitted so many others and also infinitely will change their lives.

Can you detect Alzheimer's with a spit sample? That's the question driving Arianna Arbona's exciting research at Universidad Pablo de Olavide in Sevilla, Spain. In this episode of Absolute Gene-ius, she shares how she's isolating microvesicles from saliva and blood to identify early biomarkers for neurodegenerative diseases like Alzheimer's—an effort that could one day lead to minimally invasive diagnostic tools.Arianna describes the scientific and technical hurdles she's overcoming, from low vesicle concentrations to validating the brain-specific origin of those vesicles. She also reflects on her previous lupus research, where digital PCR enabled detection of faint mRNA signatures that qPCR missed—making it an essential tool for rare target quantification. Her future plans include integrating immuno-PCR and multiplex assays for more sensitive and multi-marker detection in Alzheimer's and beyond.In the career corner, Arianna recounts her journey from the Canary Islands to Helsinki to Sevilla, balancing passion, mentorship, and a healthy sense of humor. She talks about working through uncertainty after her master's degree, the mentors who kept her smiling, and how an early accidents taught her resilience.

Eric Parrow is a real estate investor and entrepreneur. As the son of a missionary, he spent a decade of his childhood on the Spanish island of Tenerife, the largest of the seven Canary Islands, located off the coast of Morocco. When he was 14, they settled in Oklahoma, where he has lived ever since. Between the ages of 14 and 17, he assisted his parents in building their own home from a set of blueprints and a truckload of steel studs, purlins, c-channel, and other metal parts. He spent countless hours in the heat assembling the pieces with a screw gun, honing his skills in construction and rehab projects.A few years later, he bought his own home and began his journey as a self-employed real estate investor.After working for a decade in IT as a Network Admin, and Web and Graphics designer,  he became a landlord at the end of 2008, just as the market was crashing, by converting his first home into a rental property. This allowed him to avoid losing equity and gain experience as a landlord. After nearly a decade of acquiring only one or two properties at a time “on the side”, he made a concerted effort to expand his business in 2015. However, he found a lack of strong cashflow producing deals in the Oklahoma City market, so he turned his attention to the Pensacola, Florida market.In 2019, he refocused on the Oklahoma City Metro market and used a modified version of the BRRRR strategy to retire from his day job as an IT Network Administrator at a Toyota owned subsidiary in November of that year. He continued to push his goals, made it through 2020 and 2021 without a single eviction,more than doubled his holdings in 2021 and grew by 60% in 2022. In this episode, we discussed his journey through life, real estate, investing, and building his freedom!Hope you all enjoy this episode… KEEPGOING!Follow Eric:FB- https://www.facebook.com/share/1BAkZhJZcK/?mibextid=wwXIfrIG- https://www.instagram.com/ericsadventure?igsh=MXZyYng4MmV4YTlvcA==Follow me:IG- https://www.instagram.com/zdsellsokc/FB- https://www.facebook.com/ZDsellsOKC/

Discussion Highlights:Building Schengen: Origins in the Coal and Steel Community (1952), the Treaty of Rome (1958), and the Schengen Agreement (1995), creating 16,000 km of invisible internal borders through a single market and shared enforcement mechanisms.Asylum strains: Germany and Austria have received over half of all EU asylum seekers during the Syrian and Ukrainian crises, revealing the breakdown of the Dublin allocation rules under free movement.Humanitarian crisis at the external border: Approximately 30,000 people have died attempting Mediterranean crossings in the last decade, underscoring the need to address smuggler-driven journeys.EU–Turkey precedent: The 2016 agreement cut irregular crossings from about 1 million to 30,000 and deaths from 1,100 to 80 within a year, demonstrating the efficacy of safe-third-country arrangements.Safe-third-country proposals: Knaus calls for similar pacts with West African states to deter Canary Islands crossings, coupled with procedural guarantees under international law.Regular migration frameworks: Expansion of refugee resettlement and labour migration via planned pathways—in the style of Canada or Australia—to meet workforce needs and reduce reliance on smugglers.European deterrence: With U.S. reliability in doubt, Europe must bolster its own deterrent capacity—including possibilities such as a German nuclear option—and integrate frontline democracies.EU enlargement: A clear, merit-based accession roadmap for Ukraine, Moldova, and Western Balkan candidates is essential to reinforce democracy, security, and prosperity.Engaging the next generation: Francesca Knaus highlights a gap in how Europe's peace “miracle,” the lived threat of modern warfare, and climate urgency are communicated to younger Europeans.About Gerald KnausGerald Knaus is an Austrian social scientist and co-founder and chairman of the European Stability Initiative (ESI), which he helped establish in Sarajevo in June 1999.

Andrew Mitchem: Alrighty! Hi, everybody! Andrew Mitchem here at The Forex Trading Coach. I'm really excited today to be joined by Marc Walton from Forex Mentor Pro. Good day, Marc! Nice to see you. Marc Walton: Good day. How are you. Andrew and Marc discuss their backgrounds and how they started trading. Andrew Mitchem: Very very well thank you. I thought Marc, we'd just, spend half an hour. So I just have a bit of a chat two people been trading. Sounds like similar amount of time, some backgrounds. And, just give people a bit of a insight of what we've done over the years and, and, the pros and cons of what we've done and how we're trading today and the changes we've seen. Marc Walton: Yeah. I was just saying just saying your path is very similar to mine. We neither of us came from finance. I actually failed math. So level three times. Andrew Mitchem: Right? Marc Walton: It's ironic. I also have something called dyspraxia, which I never realized until, like, one of my kids had it. But the only way really affects me is I'm not very. I'm kind of number blind, which is bizarre considering what we do for a living. Yeah, yeah. But yeah. But then again, it's to me it's all about pattern recognition. Marc Walton: And so I think the main thing is for folks not to get too stressed with, the math side of things, as long as you can control the risk and, and work a simple calculator for it to get the risk right, then maths is not important. I was saying to you earlier, I left the UK. When I left the UK early 2000. Marc Walton: Went to live on a little island off the coast of Africa, the Lanzarote in the Canary Islands, which was which is a beautiful place to live. And, I went to sing and play guitar in a band for five years and, thought I'd semi-retired at 40. And then you realize when you retire, you spend more money than you ever did, because. Marc Walton: Right. Well, kids in school did now and then, you've got so much free time. So I started looking at trying to make money online. Stumbled on forex, which 20 years ago there was hardly any of it. We we have the other extreme nowadays, as we know with, with YouTube, where there's millions of people stood next to their mates, Ferrari or whatever in Dubai and, and pitching this and the other and they said that, I mean, I paid $4,000, I think, for a course, 20 years ago and, struggled like everybody else. Marc Walton: And, and I did a webinar with the other day with my mentor, Rich, who's a psychologist, and I have the list here of things that went wrong in my trading. And when he put this slide up for the benefit of people in the webinar, it was like, oh crikey, it's me again. So I'll just read a few. Marc Walton: It's yeah, I see this. They repeat the same errors over and over again over trading. I've tried to pull the trigger over a leveraging retrench, revenge trading, afraid to lose money. Room by emotions, cook win is short. Let loose his run not disciplined. Jump from system to system. And there's many more. And, I did all of them and, I, I know from your background with farming and things,

Carlos Mallo Molina has been awarded the 2025 Goldman Environmental Prize for protecting the marine biodiversity of Tenerife, the most populated of the Canary Islands. On this episode of Mongabay's podcast, Molina explains what led him to quit his job as a civil engineer on a road project impacting the Teno-Rasca marine protected area (MPA) and his subsequent campaign to stop the port project it was planned to connect to, which would have impacted the biodiversity of the area. His successful campaign contributed to the decision of the Canary Islands government to abandon the port plan.  Now, Molina and his nonprofit Innoceana are helping set up an environmental education center in its place. "I was going diving every weekend in my free time, and it was full of sea turtles, it was full of whales, it was full of marine life. And so, I think understanding how my impact was going to destroy [a] marine protected area … I think that was where I had my biggest click in my brain … I need to do something to change what I'm doing, in [a] way that I can protect this ocean," he says.

Full Text of ReadingsSaturday in the Octave of Easter Lectionary: 266The Saint of the day is Saint Pedro de San Jos BetancurSaint Pedro de San José Betancur's Story Central America claimed its first saint with the canonization of Pedro de San José Betancur. Known as the “Saint Francis of the Americas,” Pedro de Betancur is the first saint to have worked and died in Guatemala. Pedro very much wanted to become a priest, but God had other plans for the young man born into a poor family on Tenerife in the Canary Islands. Pedro was a shepherd until age 24, when he began to make his way to Guatemala, hoping to connect with a relative engaged in government service there. By the time he reached Thavana, he was out of money. After working there to earn more, he got to Guatemala City the following year. When he arrived, he was so destitute that he joined the breadline that the Franciscans had established. Soon, Pedro enrolled in the local Jesuit college in hopes of studying for the priesthood. No matter how hard he tried, however, he could not master the material; he withdrew from school. In 1655, he joined the Secular Franciscan Order. Three years later, he opened a hospital for the convalescent poor; a shelter for the homeless, and a school for the poor soon followed. Not wanting to neglect the rich of Guatemala City, Pedro began walking through their part of town ringing a bell and inviting them to repent. Other men came to share in Pedro's work. Out of this group came the Bethlehemite Congregation, which won papal approval after Pedro's death. A Bethlehemite sisters' community, similarly founded after Pedro's death, was inspired by his life of prayer and compassion. He is sometimes credited with originating the Christmas Eve posadas procession in which people representing Mary and Joseph seek a night's lodging from their neighbors. The custom soon spread to Mexico and other Central American countries. Pedro died in 1667, and was canonized by Pope John Paul II in Guatemala City on July 30, 2002. Calling the new saint an “outstanding example” of Christian mercy, the Holy Father noted that Saint Pedro practiced mercy “heroically with the lowliest and the most deprived.” Speaking to the estimated 500,000 Guatemalans in attendance, the Holy Father spoke of the social ills that plague the country today and of the need for change. “Let us think of the children and young people who are homeless or deprived of an education; of abandoned women with their many needs; of the hordes of social outcasts who live in the cities; of the victims of organized crime, of prostitution or of drugs; of the sick who are neglected and the elderly who live in loneliness,” he said in his homily during the three-hour liturgy. The liturgical feast of Saint Pedro de San José Betancur is celebrated on April 25. Reflection As humans, we often pride ourselves on our ability to reason. But as Pedro's life shows, other skills may be an even more crucial element of our humanity than a clever mind: compassion, imagination, love. Unable to master studies for the priesthood despite his efforts, Pedro responded to the needs of homeless and sick people; he provided education to the poor and salvation to the rich. He became holy—as fully human as any of us can ever be. Saint of the Day, Copyright Franciscan Media

Local community kitchens and aid groups in Sudan, working where international organizations could not, are facing funding cuts two years into the civil war. But youth-led groups are determined to fill in the gaps. Also: today's stories, including how the Kilmar Abrego Garcia case is the latest showdown between executive and judicial authority under the second Trump term; the reelection of Ecuadorian President Daniel Noboa; and a look at an innovative network of CO2 detectors enabling the return of tourists and locals to two villages in the Canary Islands after a 2021 volcanic eruption. Join the Monitor's Christa Case Bryant for today's news.

A caller moves away from his home country in Poland to live a bohemian lifestyle in a cave on the Canary Islands. After that I talk to a film industry worker dealing with the uncertainty of his gig, and a caller and I discuss why 27 feels older than 31. It is time to take an Advil. I am a gecko.

YFTers, it's almost March - somehow we are two months into 2025 already. Anywayyy, this week, Wells brings us up to speed on his new golf themed podcast that just launched called The Vanity Index—so break out those polos and single white leather gloves. Brandi is dealing with ITCHY boobs and she cannot stop touching them. PSA: If you see Brandi at dinner, please remind her to keep her hands off the goods. In the TV corner: Traitors keeps being straight-up Crazytown, USA and TikTok is spiraling over Danielle's dramatics (and those hats), and we are living for it. Meanwhile, The Bachelor races along at Mach 8 (or 9, or maybe 10??) in what feels like the shortest season ever, making it real hard to invest in these so-called love stories. Wells also has a White Lotus theory—what if the monkeys are actually the murderers?

Finding the original tomb of the royal is one of the most significant developments in Egyptian archeology in recent history. Also, a video of a gloriously creepy anglerfish inspired tears and poetry online. But why was this deep-sea dweller near the surface at all?Royal Tomb Of Egyptian King Thutmose II UnearthedA British-Egyptian team has made one of the most significant Egyptian archeological finds in recent history: the tomb of pharaoh King Thutmose II, who ruled sometime between 2000 and 1001 BCE. This is the first tomb of a pharaoh unearthed since Tutankhamun's in 1922.Thutmose II's mummified remains were found two centuries ago, but they had been moved from his original tomb, the location of which remained a mystery until now. Part of the reason why his tomb's location was such a mystery was that Thutmose II was buried in an area associated with the wives of Egyptian kings, about 1.5 miles west of Egypt's famous Valley of the Kings.Joining Host Flora Lichtman to talk about this and other science stories of the week is Maggie Koerth, science writer and editorial lead of CarbonPlan, based in Minneapolis, Minnesota.Why The Internet Was Captivated By A Hideous FishLast week, a viral video likely floated to the top of your feed: a rare black seadevil anglerfish, which looks like a floating head with a frightening amount of teeth and two cloudy eyes, swimming in azure waters. The fish showed up near Spain's Canary Islands, off the northwestern coast of Africa. It made the news because it was spotted near the surface, while anglerfish normally reside in the deep ocean.So why was she paddling so close to the surface? Was she sick? How unusual is this? And also, why do they even look like that? We had questions.Host Flora Lichtman talks with Dr. Kory Evans, assistant professor of biosciences at Rice University, to separate fact from fish-ction. He also explains new research he helped conduct about the evolutionary history of anglerfish, which could help explain why they look the way they do.Transcripts for each segment will be available after the show airs on sciencefriday.com.
