Amber Canavan, Vegan Campaign Project Manager for PETA, joins Lisa Dent to discuss PETA finding Chicago the most vegan-friendly city in the United States. Despite Chicago being iconic for its beef and hotdogs, Canavan shares that Chicago’s widely available vegan alternatives place it at the top of the list.

Preston Canavan is a comedian from Winter Park, FL, who is one of my favorites doing it right now. I have the pleasure of getting to see him perform at my favorite third space in the world, Barley and Vine Biergarten just steps away from my home. Every time I have seen Preston perform, he has left me doubled over laughing.  This conversation was no exception. Y'all, I am sometimes a dumb dumb. I am learning how to use fancy new equipment gifted by one of our wonderful Patreon patrons Seth Gill. Aaaand, I didn't record the first conversation with Preston. He came over on a Thursday, we caught lightning in a bottle, and it only exists as a cell phone video.  Have no fear, dear listener. First, I published the video in its entirety - bloopers and all - on our Patreon. You can watch that by subscribing or you can pay for it a la carte. I promise it's worth the watch.  Second, Preston being the sweetheart he is, agreed to come over a second time and we had another incredible conversation. I know I say this is one of my favorites all the time, but this is one of my all time favorites. Preston is a bright light and I am so grateful for these conversations. Everyone, it is my honor to bring you my conversation with Preston Canavan.  Listen On: Spotify- https://open.spotify.com/episode/2BFGDsncSP1TIJRn2VkjEq?si=d29b67ff8f5643e8 YouTube- https://youtu.be/2Q3YmkFGvi4?si=dnFKKtN_X2bKDZFN Apple Podcasts- https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-marinade-with-jason-earle/id1281080492?i=1000711466996

Social Media has become an important facet of our ever evolving society. We find news, opinions, and information at an ever increasing pace. But how do social media posts affect our perception of extinct animals? And, are posts about extinct amphibians unique in their retention? Do posts about frogs illicit a different response than mammals? (You may be surprised!) In this episode I am joined by Susan Canavan, and we discuss her research into how social media posts affect our awareness of extinction.  We discuss how social media users acted after reading a post about different extinct animals, and what role amphibians played in long term interest. To learn more visit:https://www.researchgate.net/publication/385555085_Trending_extinctions_online_interest_in_recently_extinct_animalsThis episode is sponsored by Gray Ghost Creationshttps://www.etsy.com/shop/GrayGhostCreationsExo Terra is our sponsor this week.

Last week, TDA exclusively reported that Coalition Senator Matt Canavan is proposing a policy to offer couples a low-interest loan of $100,000 once they have a child. This loan would only apply to families buying their first home and would be wiped if they have three children. While Canavan has put forward the idea, the Coalition hasn't formally adopted this policy. But it has kickstarted a fascinating conversation about Australia’s declining birth rate. Today we’re here to explain why a declining birth rate is an issue, and breakdown Canavan’s idea to solve it.

On hearing the news of Lonesome George's death, the last Pinta Island tortoise, most people are likely to think it is sad and noteworthy news. But do we really care? As the world experiences what experts describe as the sixth mass extinction researchers have studied how people react to the news of animals, such as Lonesome George, disappearing from the planet for good. The team, led by University of Galway in collaboration with UCD and Maynooth University, turned to big data and the world of culturomics to measure how we react to the demise of animals and plants and whether we mourn their loss or if we are numb to the effects. The full study has been published in the journal Animal Conservation and is available here. Dr Kevin Healy, School of Natural Sciences and the Ryan Institute at University of Galway, said, "Culturomics is an approach where we gather large amounts of online data to understand cultural patterns. In our study we tracked changes in tweets, and Wikipedia page visits before and after the extinction of eight species ranging from Lonesome George, the last Pinta Island tortoise, to more obscure species such as the bean snail." The research team analysed data of more than two million Wikipedia page visits and more than 100,000 tweets and retweets on Twitter between 2007 and 2023, relating to eight species now extinction species including the Pinta Giant Tortoise; the Christmas Island Whiptail-skink; the Bramble Cay Mosaic-tailed Rat; the Alagoas Foliage-gleaner; Captain Cook's Bean Snail; the Oahu Treesnail; the Rabb's fringe-limbed treefrog and the West African black rhinoceros, to test if people increased engagement after the extinction and how global it was. By measuring interactions on both X and visits to Wikipedia, the researchers were able to gauge how people engage with the more immediate world of social media in comparison to the expected slower paced world of an online encyclopaedia. The study showed that while tweets, retweets and posts on X relating to a species increased after its extinction, this was only a short-lived phenomenon. In contrast, visits to Wikipedia pages relating to an extinction had longer lasting engagement. Dr Susan Canavan, School of Natural Sciences, University of Galway and lead author on the study, said, "Overall, we found that people mentioned a species on twitter more often directly after its extinction, however this increase was quite short lived. However, when we looked at Wikipedia page visits the increase in page visits after an extinction was sustained for far longer." The researchers also found that the most commonly used words are strongly associated with sadness and that for a brief moment even those relatively obscure species found in highly localised parts of the world are mourned across the globe. Dr Canavan added, "Overall, it does look like people care and are saddened by the news of extinction. We see words like 'RIP' and 'lost' commonly appear, and that the location of tweets expand from close to the species range, to across the globe after extinction." However, while people display a sense of caring on hearing news of extinction, where they hear it from, or how they hear it, was found to be an important driver in how they engage with it. The researchers found that a small cohort of "influencers" drive the majority of engagement on X. For example, engagement on X after the extinction of the West African black rhinoceros were heavily influenced by posts from the comedian Ricky Gervais. And while people respond to the news of extinction on mainstream media, there was no noticeable increase in engagement or page visits associated with official extinction announcements from the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN). Dr Healy said, "From a conservation point of view, these results show that we can do better in communicating species extinction by more clearly linking in with media outlets and engaging with particular parts of social media.

When you are in that terribly complicated time of making medical decisions around advanced cancer, what framework can you turn to? Oncologists are called upon to treat and offer options; patients hope to gain time if not be cured. What are the choices and the impact of those choices for advanced solid tumor cancers? What if I told you that two doctors have gathered the data to find out whether certain treatments extend life or not. Would you listen to that conversation to find out more? I would!

In this emotional episode of On Rare, David Rintell, Head of Patient Advocacy at BridgeBio, and Mandy Rohrig, Director of Patient Advocacy at BridgeBio Gene Therapy, speak with Dawn, the single parent of Vayle, a 5-year-old girl living with Canavan Disease. Dawn shares how she came to realize that Vayle was not meeting developmental milestones at 3-4 months old. Despite initial reassurance from her pediatrician, Dawn's maternal intuition proved correct, leading to a diagnosis of Canavan Disease during Vale's 6-month checkup. Dawn was told that Vayle might not live beyond the age of ten. Dawn recounts the emotional challenges of adapting to the diagnosis, while learning how to manage Vayle's increasingly complex medical and care needs. Even with the expectation of a shortened life, Dawn emphasizes the profound love and quality of life she and Vayle share, underscoring her deep commitment to making Vayle's life as comfortable and joyful as possible. Dawn hopes that telling Vayle's story can bring awareness to this rare disease and help other families going through similar circumstances. This, she hopes, will be part of Vayle's legacy. Dr. Dominic Gessler, a physician and researcher who has extensively studied Canavan Disease explains that Canavan Disease is an autosomal recessive genetic disorder caused by mutations in the ASPA gene, leading to the accumulation of a chemical called N-acetyl-L-aspartic acid, or NAA, throughout the body. The accumulation of NAA is thought to damage the white matter in the brain.  Symptoms of Canavan disease become apparent as children fail to meet developmental milestones. As always, questions about your healthcare and the healthcare of your family should be discussed with your physician.
