In April  Time magazine published a story entitled The Return of The Dire Wolf. Having roamed America's continent for thousands of years, the dire wolf had gone extinct around 10,000 years ago. Until, that is, a company called Colossal Biosciences claims that it has managed to bring the species back to life in the form of two wolf pups: Romulus and Remus. But despite the scientific wonders of gene editing, can we be sure that these pups are genetically identical to the dire wolfs of the past? Are genetics all that matters in the identity of a species? And even if it is practically possible to bring back to life species that have gone extinct - is it a good idea? Are we are morally obliged to bring lost species back to life if we can, especially if humans were responsible in their extinction? Or would such a practices risk "Jurasic Park"-like scenarios and our limited resources for environmental conservation are best channelled in preserving existing species?Jay Odenbaugh is the James F. Miller Professor of Humanities at Lewis & Clark College in Portland, USA.  His research is in the philosophy of science, especially ecology and conservation biology, and environmental philosophy. He is the author of the book Ecological Models (Cambridge University Press)  and has written about the ethics and aesthetics of species conservation and de-extinction. If you enjoyed the episode, please leave us a rating and a review on Apple Podcasts.This podcast is created in partnership with The Philosopher, the UK's longest running public philosophy journalm founded in 1923.

Scientists at a bio-technology firm made headlines when they announced the “de-extinction” of the dire wolf, a species of wolf that went extinct on Earth over 10,000 years ago. Colossal Biosciences examined DNA from ancient dire wolf fossils and used it to create wolf puppies with traits of the extinct species. The gene editing technology sparked curiosity around the world, and although the new wolves were not exact replicas of the originals they had similar traits. The development raises serious questions about what de-extinction really means.Mass extinctions have shaped the history of life on Earth, and nature has adapted across the millennia, but with almost half of all species already in decline, including some frogs, how seriously is de-extinction technology being taken?

Welcome to our 50th episode! This week, we're talking with award-winning author Associate Professor Kyle Lascurettes, from Lewis and Clark College in Oregon. We discuss the Trump Administration's approach to global norms, institutions, and the rules-based system. You can find out more about Professor Lascurettes at his website: https://kylelascurettes.weebly.com/. His book, Orders of Exclusion, is available on Amazon. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

On his first day in office, President Trump placed a 90-day freeze on all U.S. foreign aid. He then put all employees of the United States Agency for International Development, or USAID, on leave last week. A federal judge has temporarily paused the mass layoffs, but the freeze on aid remains — meaning many programs providing food assistance, health care services have had to cease operations. Suparna Chaudhry is an assistant professor of international affairs at Lewis & Clark College. She joins us to talk about how these changes could impact humanitarian aid across the globe.

Despite being (mis)characterized by the IMF as a free-market "success story," South Korea's development model involved state planning and import controls for decades prior to the 1997 East Asia debt crisis. Economist Martin Hart-Landsberg, Professor Emeritus at Lewis and Clark College in Portland, explains how capitalist globalization materialized and morphed in East Asia, often to the detriment of its worker population. With Trump's inauguration nearing, Hart-Landsberg sheds light on why contemporary U.S.-China hawks view China as a threat rather than a technological competitor.

Amber Ontiveros: Overcoming Bias and Emotional WoundsBio: Amber Ontiveros is the CEO and owner of a change management firm. She is a longtime civil rights advocate, having served in advisory roles at the US Department of Transportation during both the Bush and Obama Administrations. She now runs Ontiveros and Associates, which specializes in change management, policy development, and executive coaching. Amber is the author of Heal the Four Wounds: A Guide to End Discord and Discrimination.Links:LinkedIn: Amber OntiverosWebsite: Heal the Four WoundsQuotes: "When you don't have people around you who are educated, you don't know what your options are."Episode Highlights:In this episode, Amber shares her powerful journey, from growing up Latina on a farm in Arizona to a near-death experience that led her to meet the "infinite creator." This awakening inspired her to explore consciousness and the neuroscience of unconscious bias. Amber teaches us about self-serving and "mini-me" biases, and how the brain's reticular activation system filters information based on existing beliefs. Her techniques offer practical steps for mindful listening and healing internal wounds. Listen to learn more.Childhood Experiences:Amber's passion for management started in childhood. She vividly recalls playing with paper in their chicken coop as if she were an administrator. As an adolescent, Amber took a moot court class because it aligned with her personality traits—public speaking, analyzing situations, constructing arguments, and posing solutions.Influential Groups:Amber is a Mexican-American who grew up in Arizona and was the first in her family to attend college and graduate school, despite having no educational role models. She attended Lewis & Clark College, though her GPA could have earned her admission to more prestigious schools. In college, Amber became passionate about civil rights and policy. Her career began in a political campaign where a senator recognized her potential and helped her become a lobbyist. After working in the legislature and for a lobbying firm, Amber became a policy adviser at the Department of Transportation, where she helped develop federal civil rights laws that provided economic opportunities for women and minorities, including securing contracts in construction and professional services for transit agencies and government departments.Personality and Temperament:Amber describes herself as direct, honest, and fiery. After her near-death experience, she realized she had been engaging in self-loathing and bullying herself. Today, she has learned to accept and love her feelings, using techniques to change the thought patterns that once undermined her. She now sees her previously criticized traits as her best attributes.Cultural Epiphanies:In Amber's culture, during Christmas, her family makes tamales, menudo, and pozole. Amber is baffled that many Americans dislike pigs' feet or cow stomach, which are delicacies in some Asian cultures and among the best foods she's ever had. What Brings Out the Best in Amber?Amber enjoys working with organizations that are clear and authentic. This clarity makes it easier for her to help them achieve their goals.Soapbox Moment:Are you a CEO feeling unhappy and seeking tools to manage your emotions? Are you stuck in negative thought loops or imposter syndrome? Amber invites you to explore her website, her book, and her executive coaching program.Support the show

A Description of episode 132 of Outside The Studio with Tessa: This month on Outside the Studio, we welcome David Benedicktus RN/BSN (retired). David has a 40-year career as a mental health professional working in a variety of mental health settings and focusing on system integration, and patient education projects. In retirement he became a founding member of Complementary Medicine Practitioners of PNW. He organized wellness health promotion talks for the City of Vancouver WA, the local library system and patient support groups. He also became an instructor at Clark College in Vancouver, Washington, for ten years lecturing on the neuroscience of trauma and the relationship between trauma and adaptive lifestyle choices which can lead to chronic disease and addictions. He teaches courses on the Neuroscience of Healing and Resiliency, Preventing Cognitive Decline as You Age, Cannabis and Your Health and Psychedelic Assisted Therapy. Leaning on David's life experience and subject matter expertise, today's conversation explores the theme of inequality and the divide between the haves and the have-nots. It begins with Tessa sharing her childhood realization of the difference between those who have safety and those who are in danger due to war, poverty, and mental health issues. Her father, David Benedicktus, discusses his involvement in the civil rights movement and his work with marginalized communities, particularly the homeless. They discuss the importance of empathy and taking action to address social issues. The conversation also touches on the impact of poverty, and the role of neuroscience in understanding human behavior. Key Takeaways:1.The divide between the haves and the have-nots is a significant issue that affects society. Empathy and understanding are crucial in addressing social issues and helping marginalized communities.2. Poverty and homelessness are complex problems that require structural support and resources. Neuroscience can help us understand the factors that contribute to human behavior and the need for compassion. Cultivating compassion and empathy is essential for addressing the challenges faced by marginalized communities.3. Trauma plays a significant role in shaping individuals and communities, and trauma-informed approaches are crucial for providing effective support. Providing resources such as mental health services and affordable housing can make a significant difference in the lives of those in need.

Last winter, federal officials with the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service announced a program to save the perpetually threatened northern spotted owl. The problem? Invasive barred owls are crowding out our local forest -- they're bigger, and more aggressive. The solution? Culling half a million of those owls over the next 30 years. On its face, the issue seems pretty straightforward: barred owls are invasive, and because of them, Northern spotted owls are disappearing.  But for Jay Odenbaugh, a philosopher and ethicist, the issue brings up a bigger question: how we as humans try to intervene in a problem we're also responsible for creating. KUOW's Diana Opong spoke with Odenbaugh about a recent op-ed he co-authored for the New York Times about how we can think more ethically about conservation.  Guests: Jay Odenbaugh, professor of humanities at Lewis & Clark College in Portland, OR.

The U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service has proposed killing hundreds of thousands of barred owls over the next 30 years in an effort to protect the endangered northern spotted owl, which competes with the barred owl for food, habitat and other resources. The agency published a final environmental impact statement last month, and a decision on whether to adopt the strategy could be imminent.  A group of philosophers at Oregon universities recently took issue with the proposal. In a New York Times opinion piece, they described the strategy and the reasoning behind it as “dystopian” and “deeply problematic.” Jay Odenbaugh is the James F. Miller Professor of Humanities at Lewis & Clark College. He co-authored the article and joins us to talk about the ethical pitfalls of sacrificing one species for another.

Annie Dawid is an award-winning author and professor who teaches creative writing at University College, of Denver. She is a professor of English and Director of Creative Writing at Lewis & Clark College in Portland, OR. Her latest novel PARADISE UNDONE: A NOVEL OF JONESTOWN is a historical fiction of the infamous tragedy that took place in Guyana 45 years ago, it is a sensitive account of 4 people whose lives were deeply impacted by cult leader Jim Jones. The book was published on November 18th, 2023 the 45th anniversary of the Jonestown massacre, and has been received with high praise from cult experts including some of our past guests Jon Atak, and Joe Szimhart. In this compelling episode, Annie brings a unique perspective to the tragic story of Jonestown. She emphasizes the importance of focusing on the victims rather than the infamous leader, Jim Jones, and sheds light on the often-overlooked narratives of those who lived through the ordeal. Annie discusses her latest book, which took two decades to publish, and her journey to uncover the stories of Jonestown's victims. She introduces us to key figures like Marceline Baldwin Jones, Jim Jones' wife, and other protagonists who provide a broader understanding of the People's Temple and its impact on its members and the country of Guyana. Rachel and Annie delve into the complexities of cult dynamics, the role of women in the People's Temple, and the psychological manipulation employed by Jim Jones. They also explore the broader implications of such movements and the importance of remembering the humanity of those who were lost.

It wasn't that long ago that life in prison actually lead to early release, and it was considered part of the tradition. Reiko Hillyer is associate professor of history at Lewis & Clark College, and she joins host Krys Boyd to discuss the history of prison furloughs in this nation – where life on the outside was a way of integrating inmates back into their communities – and how tough-on-crime laws of the 1980s and '90s changed the way we look at offenders today. Her book is “A Wall Is Just a Wall: The Permeability of the Prison in the Twentieth-Century United States.”

The Drive discussed the importance that Caitlin Clark had on the sport of women's college basketball.
