Why Cayman Islanders Voted against a massive cruise ship pier is a rare and powerful story of reef protection over profit. In this episode of How to Protect the Ocean, Andrew Lewin unpacks the bold decision by Cayman citizens to reject a development project that would have severely damaged their coral reef ecosystem. The vote sent a clear message: the long-term health of the ocean matters more than short-term tourism dollars. Why Cayman Islanders Voted is also a reminder that grassroots action can be effective. Andrew explores how this vote happened, what it means for ocean conservation around the world, and how you can channel this momentum into protecting your local waters. He also introduces The Undertow, a growing community of ocean advocates working to inspire and support action like this on a global scale.

Ausgabe 106 des Science Busters Podcasts und Ruth Grützbauch ist wieder einmal vor ort. Die Astronomin und Kabarettist Martin Puntigam besprechen warum das Universum ein Autobahnraser ist, oder vielleicht auch nicht, wieso man nicht Wolf schreien sollte, wenn keiner da ist, weshalb Einstein ein statisches Universum lieber gewesen wäre, was die kosmologische Konstante mit Dunkler Energie zu tun hat, ob die Dunkle Energie doch veränderlich und nicht konstant sein könnte, wie man mit dem Sichtbaren dem Unsichtbarem auf die Spur kommen will, warum EUCLID kein Akronym ist, wie Citizen Science beim Ausspüren der Dunklen Energie helfen kann, wonach Bao in der Astronomie schmeckt, wieso DESI nicht mit DESY verwandt ist, ob die Dunkle Energie in einer eigenen Bubble lebt, wie sehr man sich auf Sigma-Boy verlassen kann und arum die Wohnung nicht auf absehbare Zeit durch dunkle Energie größer werden wird.

I was recently reading the May - June 2025 issue of “Science Scope”, a publication of the National Science Teaching Association. In this issue, I read the section, “Citizen Science” written by Jill Nugent.  She wrote an article entitled, “‘Participate in Pollinator Science This Season with Bumble Bee Watch.” Spring and summer serve as a rewarding time for students to survey pollinator biodiversity.  In fact, the month of June is known as pollinator month, making this a natural time of the year to incorporate pollinator science in your classroom.  Bumble Bee Watch is a collaborative project focused on tracking North American Bumble Bees.  To learn more, visit the project website at: https://www.bumblebeewatch.org

Plastic pollution in the Maldives has become a serious environmental crisis, despite the nation's image as a pristine paradise. In this episode of How to Protect the Ocean, host Andrew Lewin shares the inspiring story of Zazou Saeed—a young Maldivian surfer and ocean advocate—who rose to become a local conservation hero by campaigning against single-use plastics. From leading beach cleanups to working with NGOs like Save the Beach and Parley for the Oceans, Zazou sparked a grassroots movement that helped influence national policy. Ocean conservation through local action is a powerful force. Zazou used art, storytelling, and education to mobilize Maldivian youth and drive home the consequences of plastic pollution on coral reefs, sea turtles, and marine life. Her efforts were instrumental in shifting public awareness and building momentum toward the Maldives' plastic bans. This episode highlights how one passionate person can make a massive difference for their community—and the ocean.

Guest: Dr. Levi Boggs, Georgia Tech Research InstituteWhen we think of lightning, we picture bolts striking the ground during a thunderstorm—but not all electrical activity stays within the lower atmosphere. High above the clouds, mysterious and fleeting flashes of light dance across the sky—sprites, blue jets, and gigantic jets—phenomena that are still not fully understood. Today on Weather Geeks, we're exploring the enigmatic world of upper atmospheric electrical phenomena with Dr. Levi Boggs, whose latest research is shedding new light on these elusive events. From cutting-edge observations to the impact these events may have on aviation, space weather, and even our understanding of lightning itself, we're thrilled to have Dr. Boggs here to break it all down!Chapters00:00 Introduction to Upper Atmospheric Electrical Phenomena04:58 Transient Luminous Events: Types and Characteristics10:58 Differences Between TLEs and Traditional Lightning16:02 Observing TLEs: Opportunities and Challenges20:58 Research Focus: Gigantic Jets and Their Impacts25:14 Challenges in Studying Transient Luminous Events28:22 The Importance of Observations in TLE Research31:31 Field Campaigns and Citizen Science33:05 Understanding Lightning Through TLE Research36:24 Future Aspirations in TLE ResearchSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Überall in unseren Städten blüht, sprießt und gedeiht es zwischen Pflastersteinen und in Mauerritzen, wir nehmen es nur selten wirklich wahr – und wenn, dann oft als störendes Unkraut. Dass dem nicht so ist, darum geht es beim Projekt #Krautschau: Pflanzenfans spazieren durch die Städte, bestimmen (am besten mit Hilfe einer App) die verschiedenen Arten und schreiben sie mit Kreide an Ort und Stelle auf. Wie man mitmachen kann, was man alles mitbringen muss (Spoiler: wirklich nicht viel!) und wie es überhaupt zu der Idee kam, das erklären in dieser Folge von "Erdfrequenz" Dr. Julia Krohmer und Christiane Ehringhaus. Julia hat die #Krautschau mit ins Leben gerufen, Christiane ist seit der ersten Stunde dabei. Und beide zeigen: Sie schafft nicht nur ein neues Bewusstsein für die städtische Natur, sondern macht einfach jede Menge Spaß!Dieses Jahr findet die Aktion vom 16. bis 25. Mai statt. Alle Informationen zu #Krautschau mitsamt Veranstaltungskalender gibt es auf der Website des Projektes. Noch mehr Wissen über die faszinierenden Mauerblümchen gibt's im Buch von Julia Krohmer und Alexandra Maria-Klein: "Das wächst in deiner Stadt", erschienen im Kosmos Verlag. So funktioniert die App "Flora incognita", die Julia und Christiane für die #Krautschau empfehlen.Noch Fragen zur Aktion? Dann einfach bei Julia melden: julia.krohmer@senckenberg.de.

True birders are some of the most determined and persistent hobbyists out there. If you want to call bird watching a hobby. For many, it's more like a passion. Many look forward to “Big Day” competitions, where individuals and teams strive to see how many different bird species they can spot in a 24-hour period. Many birders log their sightings and identifications in eBird, a smartphone application created by the Cornell Lab of Ornithology and the National Audubon Society. The good news is that millions of birders use this app. The concerning news is that their bird sightings over a recent 14-year-period point to population declines in 75 percent of North American bird species. To learn more about this news, we've invited Dr. Amanda Rodewald from the Cornell Lab of Ornithology and Cornell University to join us today.

In today's episode, Cormac, Cole and Lucia catch you up with all things Citizen Science. In the epoch of ChatGPT, Grok and Gemini (no, not the telescope), it's easy to forget about the 20 Watt computer you're using to read this sentence. Yes, even YOU can contribute to cutting-edge astronomical research, as we present two examples of cosmic crowdfunding in action. Cole convinces us that nearby galaxies need some Clump Scouts, and Lucia shows us how volunteers have been the (tur)key to finding a new star-studded dwarf galaxy. We also discuss the non-research benefits of democratising science, and in a fourth-wall-shattering pivot, we ask you, yes YOU, what you'd like to hear more of on a[s]b. astrosoundbites@gmail.com Astrobites: https://astrobites.org/2024/07/29/galaxy-zoo-clump-scout/ https://astrobites.org/2023/11/18/a-lonely-little-galaxy-at-the-edge-of-our-neighborhood/ Space Sound: Adapted from https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X6vbST9iMOU XKCD Comic: https://xkcd.com/1425/ Article about the (not so?) amateur astronomer: https://astro.arizona.edu/news/tucson-doctor-wins-national-award-his-second-act-amateur-astronomer

Great Barrier Reef bleaching is accelerating at a dangerous pace, and yet, hope rises from a unique blend of technology, data, and collective action. In this powerful episode, Andrew talks to Andy Ridley, the founding CEO of Citizens of the Reef, about how they are building one of the most ambitious citizen science movements on the planet. They discuss how climate change rapidly degrades one of the world's natural wonders and how empowering ordinary people to contribute data can shift the tide toward reef recovery. Citizen science plays a key role in understanding reef health on a massive scale—especially when the area is as vast as the U.S. West Coast. Andy Ridley shares how his organization merges real-time data collection, AI, and local participation to inform reef management and climate resilience. If you've ever wondered how tech, policy, and everyday action can converge to protect the ocean, this episode is a must-listen.

April is Citizen Science Month!

When Hackaday editors Elliot Williams and Al Williams need a break from writing posts, they hop on the podcast and talk about their favorite stories of the past week. Want to know what they were talking about? Listen in below and find out! In an unusual twist, a listener sent in the sound for this week's What's This Sound competition, so it turns out Elliot and Al were both stumped for a change. See if you can do better, and you might just score a Hackaday Podcast T-shirt. On the hacking front, the guys talked about what they hope to see as entries in the pet hacking contest, quantum diamonds (no kidding), spectrometers, and several science projects. There was talk of a tiny robot, a space mouse—the computer kind, not a flying rodent—and even an old-fashioned photophone that let Alexander Graham Bell use the sun like a string on a paper cup telephone. Things really heat up at the end, when there is talk about computer programming ranging from COBOL to Vibe programming. In case you've missed it, Vibe programming is basically delegating your work to the AI, but do you really want to? Maybe, if your job is to convert all that old COBOL code.

Overland Journal Podcast host Ashley Giordano is joined by Canadian race car driver, X Games athlete, stuntman, and Baja 1000 champion Andrew Comrie-Picard in this episode, which touches on his childhood in Alberta, Canada, and how his love for driving challenges launched his automotive career.The conversation continues with an in-depth look at Comrie-Picard's latest project, the Trans-Global Car Expedition, the world's first wheeled surface navigation through both geographic poles, including the importance of a good team, the scientific outcomes of the project, and a run-down of the expedition vehicle fleet.Comrie-Picard also dives into developing a strong sense of self-belief, his experiences in Northern Canada, and the outcomes of an Arctic test trip where an F-150 fell through the ice.

Guest: John Trostel, DirectorFrom towering supercells to fast-moving derechos, severe storms are some of the most powerful and unpredictable forces in nature. Forecasting these storms requires cutting-edge technology, real-time data analysis, and years of research to improve early warning systems and save lives. That's where institutions like the Severe Storms Research Center at Georgia Tech come in. Today on Weather Geeks, we're diving into the groundbreaking work being done at SSRC—from tracking lightning patterns to developing new storm prediction models.

A couple years ago, an entomologist named Martha Weiss got a letter from a little boy in Japan saying he wanted to replicate a famous study of hers. We covered that original study on Radiolab more than a decade ago in an episode called Goo and You – check it out here – and in addition to revealing some fascinating secrets of insect life, it also raises big questions about memory, permanence and transformation. The letter Martha received about building on this study set in motion a series of spectacular events that advance her original science and show how science works when a 12-year-old boy is the one doing it. Martha's daughter, reporter Annie Rosenthal, captured all of it and turned it into a beautiful audio story called “Caterpillar Roadshow.” It was originally published in a brand new independent audio magazine called Signal Hill, which happens to have been created in part by two former Radiolab interns (Liza Yeager and Jackson Roach, both of whom worked on this piece), and we loved it, so we're presenting an excerpt for you here.Special thanks to Annie Rosenthal, Liza Yeager, Jackson Roach, Leo Wong, Omar Etman, the whole team at Signal Hill, Carlos Morales, John Lill, Marfa Public Radio and Emma Garschagen.EPISODE CREDITS: Reported by - Annie RosenthalProduced by - Annie Rosenthalwith help from - Leo Wong and Omar EtmanSound design contributed by - Liza Yeager and Jackson RoachFact-checking by - Alan Deanand Edited by  - Liza Yeager and Jackson RoachEPISODE CITATIONS:Audio -  Listen to the original Radiolab episode, Goo and You, here (https://zpr.io/qh9xqpkXzk7j).Or the Signal Hill podcast here (https://zpr.io/CDfwyK7Zkrva).Guests - And if you want to learn more about Martha Weiss, and her work, head over here (https://zpr.io/aBw2YsqWB6NZ).Signup for our newsletter!!

Ocean conversations matter more than we think. In this episode of How to Protect the Ocean, Andrew Lewin explores how the simple act of bringing up marine topics in everyday conversations—with friends, at restaurants, during social gatherings—can lead to a ripple effect of awareness, engagement, and ultimately, protection. The ocean affects all of us, yet it's rarely discussed in casual settings. So why not change that? Marine protection starts with awareness, and awareness begins with talk. This episode dives into why we need to normalize ocean discussions just like we do politics, weather, or sports. You'll learn how these small shifts in dialogue can lead to bigger cultural changes—supporting conservation, encouraging ocean literacy, and fostering a community that genuinely cares for our blue planet. Whether you're a surfer, a scientist, or someone who just enjoys a beach vacation, you have a voice. Let's use it to protect what we love.

S6E64 In this episode of BatChat, we're shining a spotlight on NightWatch, a groundbreaking community science project from the Bat Conservation Trust. Launched in 2021, NightWatch is the only initiative of its kind in the UK, helping people uncover the hidden world of nighttime wildlife while breaking down barriers that prevent communities from connecting with nature.Join host Steve Roe as he chats with Siobhan Dempsey at the Restore Nature Now march, where they discuss how NightWatch is making bat surveys more accessible—particularly for people from minority ethnic backgrounds, lower-income communities, and those with disabilities. With thousands of bat echolocation calls recorded across 750+ sites, and over 2,000 people engaged so far, this project is transforming urban conservation.But to keep NightWatch running, we need your help! We must raise £14,000 by June 2025 to ensure more people can discover the wonders of bats in their neighborhoods.

What do eiders eat, how do they feed, why is their poop so stinky, how do they taste, how many are there, and what are the most pressing conservation concerns affecting them? These and other questions are explored as Kate Martin and Dr. Sarah Gutowsky rejoin Dr. Mike Brasher to wrap up our common eider species profile. Also discussed is new research that is improving our knowledge of eider population trends and identifying important breeding and winter sites. New telemetry results are revealing fascinating insights about eider migration, and we learn of the important cultural and economic tie between common eiders and local communities, including why an eider down duvet could set you back $10,000!Listen now: www.ducks.org/DUPodcastSend feedback: DUPodcast@ducks.org

Listen to 99 Future Now Show Did you ever think of moving to Costa Rica, a Central American paradise just 8 hours away by plane?  We have a few friends who have and now our science correspondent, Bobby Wilder, is down there with Katia, visiting some Bay Area friends who actually made the move to Costa Rica’s Pacific coat.  For the first part of the show Costa Rican Adventurestoday, you will hear from Bobby and Courtney, a friend who sold her house in Half Moon Bay headed for warmer climes in Central America. We enjoyed hearing about her heaven on earth lifestyle, complete with Howler monkey tribes, panthers, and crocodiles, for the first part of today’s show.  We then delved deep into many Dr. F topics, including The Panama Canal situation,  Elon’s now and future DOGE work, early blood tests for Alzheimers and Cancer, new forms of microscopic life (Obelisks), 37 dimensional light, Dwarf 3 Citizen Science, and Hammeroffian explorations of group mind human consciouness.  Enjoy!  

Grab yourselves a Wethers Original Bookshelvers... Let's chat about about getting old “Dogs are living up to twice as long as they did 40 years ago which has implications for ageing dogs' healthcare and wellbeing. As the life expectancy of canine golden oldies increases, so does the amount of time our dogs spend in poor health, but it may be difficult for us to distinguish between normal age-related changes and serious diseases that require veterinary treatment. To help address this, BSAVA PetSavers funded a major research project at the University of Liverpool – Old Age Pets – to help vets and owners provide the best care for their senior and geriatric dogs.”We were thrilled to talk with the amazing  Lisa Wallis and Carri Westgarth about their fascinating research on aging in dogs at what their research found. We touch on cognitive development, owner and veterinary perceptions, and how the practical applications of their research led to the creation of an exciting practical resource called the Aging Canine Toolkit. Lisa and Carri share fascinating insights from their experiences researching this topic we all discuss the need for more open conversations about aging and how best to care for our dogs in their twilight years.All that and the usual tangential banter including a discussion about the reality show 'Traitors' which we are all addicted to.Go on… Pop it in your brain holes! WOOF!
