Researchers say a large fish that was thought to have disappeared from Asia's Mekong River has been seen in the waterway in recent years. 研究人员表示，一种被认为从亚洲湄公河消失的大型鱼类近年来在该水道中被发现。 The fish is called a giant salmon carp. A recent study detailed the most recent sightings of the fish. The lead writer of that study said the fish was seen at least three times between 2020 and 2023. 这种鱼被称为巨型鲑鱼。最近的一项研究详细介绍了最近看到的这种鱼。该研究的主要作者表示，这种鱼在 2020 年至 2023 年间至少出现过 3 次。 The predatory fish can grow to more than one meter in length and has an identifiable yellow spot surrounding its large eyes.这种掠食性鱼类可以长到一米多长，大眼睛周围有一个可识别的黄色斑点。 The Mekong River is Southeast Asia's longest river. It passes through China, Laos, Thailand, Myanmar, Cambodia and Vietnam. About 60 million people depend on the river for food and survival. It is also an important environment for numerous river creatures. 湄公河是东南亚最长的河流。途经中国、老挝、泰国、缅甸、柬埔寨、越南。大约 6000 万人依赖这条河获取食物和生存。它也是众多河流生物的重要环境。 The leader of the research was Chheana Chhut. He is with the Inland Fisheries Research and Development Institute in Phnom Penh, Cambodia. “The giant salmon carp is like a symbol of the Mekong region,” Chheana recently told The Associated Press. 这项研究的领导者是 Chheana Chhut。他在柬埔寨金边的内陆渔业研究与发展研究所工作。“巨型鲑鱼就像湄公河地区的象征，”切阿纳最近告诉美联社。 He was the co-writer with other researchers of a study announcing the findings in the publication Biological Conservation. Chheana said researchers had believed that the last confirmed sighting of the fish in the Mekong was in 2005. 他与其他研究人员共同撰写了一项研究，并在《生物保护》杂志上公布了研究结果。Chheana 表示，研究人员认为最后一次确认在湄公河中发现这种鱼是在 2005 年。But since 2017, biologists following the movements of migratory fish in Cambodia developed relationships with local fishing communities. They asked people in the communities to inform them of any unusual sightings. 但自 2017 年以来，追踪柬埔寨洄游鱼类活动的生物学家与当地渔业社区建立了关系。他们要求社区里的人们告知他们任何异常的目击事件。 That process led to the finding that three giant salmon carp were identified in the Mekong River and a neighboring waterway in Cambodia between 2020 and 2023. 这一过程导致发现 2020 年至 2023 年间在湄公河和柬埔寨邻近水道中发现了 3 条巨型鲑鱼。 Bunyeth Chan is a researcher at Cambodia's Svay Rieng University. He helped lead the research. Bunyeth told the AP, “I was really surprised and excited to see the real fish for the first time.”Bunyeth Chan 是柬埔寨柴桢大学的研究员。他帮助领导了这项研究。班尼斯告诉美联社，“第一次看到真正的鱼，我感到非常惊讶和兴奋。” Researchers say the sightings give them new hope for the future of the species. Another name used for the species is “ghost fish.” 研究人员表示，这些目击事件给他们对该物种的未来带来了新的希望。该物种的另一个名称是“幽灵鱼”。 “This rediscovery is very exciting, positive news,” said Zeb Hogan. He is a fish biologist at the University of Nevada, Reno, who was part of the research team. “这一重新发现是非常令人兴奋的积极消息，”泽布·霍根说。他是内华达大学里诺分校的鱼类生物学家，也是该研究小组的成员。But the problems the fish experienced also demonstrate the dangers facing all migratory species in the Mekong. The huge river faces industrial pollution and overfishing, among other problems. 但鱼类所经历的问题也表明了湄公河所有迁徙物种所面临的危险。这条大河面临着工业污染和过度捕捞等问题。 Brian Eyler is director of the Southeast Asia Program at the Stimson Center in Washington, D.C. He was was not involved in the research. Eyler said one issue is that more than 700 dams are built along the river and neighboring waterways. In addition, there are very few workable “fish passages” that help species avoid obstructions. 布莱恩·艾勒是华盛顿特区史汀生中心东南亚项目主任。他没有参与这项研究。艾勒说，一个问题是沿河和邻近水道修建了 700 多座水坝。此外，能够帮助物种避开障碍物的可行“鱼道”非常少。 The Greater Mekong area includes Vietnam, Cambodia, Laos, Thailand and Myanmar. 大湄公河地区包括越南、柬埔寨、老挝、泰国和缅甸。 The researchers said they hope that cooperation with local communities in Thailand and Laos will permit them to confirm whether the fish also still swims in other parts of the Mekong.研究人员表示，他们希望与泰国和老挝当地社区的合作能够让他们确认这种鱼是否仍然在湄公河的其他地区游泳。

Noah Brandon, CEO of Unitech Training Academy, joins Discover Lafayette to discuss his mission to make education accessible to all. Noah graduated from the College of Business at UL-Lafayette and then went on to earn his MBA from Brown University and the Instituto de Empresa in Madrid Spain. Unitech Training Academy is a growing education institution that was originally founded by Noah's mother, Deanna Head, in 1997, initially offering a Certified Nursing Assistant program. Today, the institution has six campuses across the state, online classes, and two early learning centers in Lafayette and Alexandria. Noah is an advocate for all post-secondary educational offerings and is active with One Acadiana's Workforce Development Strategy to ensure that local employers can find skilled workers that fit market needs. Unitech staff partner with their students at Unitech to ensure that the soft skills needed to stay employed are learned while training for their new career. "There is a universal truth among all hiring managers: they want to hire people who make their lives easier, not harder. So when you're interviewing for a job, your goal is not to tell them how great you are. Your job is to convince them that you are the answer to their problems and you'll make their job easier." The majority of students at Unitech are studying allied health field courses. Classes offered include Dental Assisting, EKG/Phlebotomy technician, Medical Assistant, Pharmacy Technician, medical billing and coding, as well as Massage Therapy, IT Technician, IT Support Specialist, and Early Childhood Ancillary Certificate. At any given time there are approximately 1100 students enrolled in what Noah calls a "rolling program of enrollment" that allows students to start classes each Monday. Noah's mom, Deanna, created this model to allow students to start a new career and obtain an education as soon as possible. Unitech held its first graduation for the Unitech Leadership and Development Institute in October 2023. Noah is active in the community and serves as President of the Board of Big Brothers Big Sisters of Acadiana. He was honored in 2022 as an Acadiana Top 20 under 40 Award Recipient. Noah Brandon spoke of his understanding of the importance of intentionality when dealing with others. Most of us carry around fears and insecurities, and it can show in our actions if people don't know us. Especially as you move up the career ladder. Our insecurities can shape how people size us up. We may be shy but it can come off as aloofness. People may think, "You're the guy in charge....you're not supposed to be insecure!' He believes that if you look at people with love instead of fear, it really changes the whole dynamic. "If I look at others and give them the benefit of the doubt.....it becomes so much easier to interact with people."

In this episode of OzCast, Jason Tanner dives beneath the surface of South Australian waters to unveil how he is working to “green the blue” by dropping sandbags in strategic areas to bring back the lost seagrass meadows of yesteryear. After spending over 25 years developing this technique from the ground up, he explains how his work went from an idea to a now industrial-level program that sees tens of thousands of bags being deployed every year.   Jason has 30 years' experience overall in marine ecology, working in tropical and temperate systems. He has published over 80 papers, most in high-profile international journals, and numerous reports. He undertakes field and laboratory studies of marine ecosystems and also has a strong grounding in statistics and mathematical modelling.  His first exposure to seagrass was as a teenager snorkelling in the coastal lakes of southern NSW, although it would be many years before he would return to them, taking a detour via the coral reefs of the Great Barrier Reef in between.    This detour involved a PhD and postdoctoral studies on corals at Heron Island, before moving to the South Australian Research and Development Institute to study the impacts of prawn trawling on the seafloor.  From here he became interested in the way fragmentation of seagrass habitats influenced the fauna that lived in them, which then progressed to an interest in the seagrasses themselves and how to reverse the extensive habitat loss seen along the Adelaide coast (and elsewhere).   Throughout the episode, Jason explains that this interest led him to develop novel low-cost techniques for seagrass restoration tailored to the main species found in South Australia.  His hessian sandbag technique can be deployed for 5-10% of the cost of traditional transplantation involving divers and doesn't require the removal of seagrass from a donor meadow.    Instead, it relies on providing a firm substrate for naturally present seedlings to attach to (for wireweed - Amphibolis) or collecting beachcast fruits that would otherwise dehydrate and be lost (for strapweed – Posidonia australis).  He is now in the process of establishing a 20-hectare restoration plot just north of Adelaide, funded by the Commonwealth Government, which will be the largest single seagrass restoration in Australia.   Jason offers a wealth of information on how programs like this develop and transform, to the point where he is now dropping over 25,000 bags in a single deployment.   Having spent countless hours researching seagrass, Jason highlights the impacts that seagrass has faced on the South Australia metropolitan coastline. Over the last half-century or so, more than 6,000 hectares of seagrass has been lost off the Adelaide coast due to anthropogenic nutrient and sediment inputs.  This loss has led to coastal erosion, decreased habitat, loss of carbon storage and decreased fish abundance.  Recent improvements to wastewater treatment and stormwater runoff have led to some natural recovery, but changes in sand movement resulting from the loss now prevent the recolonization of many areas.  While the hessian bag method has resulted in the successful establishment of small patches of seagrasses that have persisted for around a decade, and which are now functioning like natural patches due to colonisation by other marine plants and animals, the development of the technique has not been straightforward.  Throughout the episode, Jason unveils how he has had to refine the technique over the years when it comes to developing of a good understanding of the timing of recruitment, and methods to ensure the maximum number of bags are dropped in a given season.   Jason explains that the sandbags provide a stable environment that overcomes sand movement and allows the seedlings to establish, before the bags rot away. Without the bags, seedlings don't have much to attach to, and any that do settle get washed away in storms. This approach avoids the need to use divers, costs less than 10 per cent of what traditional restoration techniques that involve the direct planting of seagrass cost, and avoids disturbing remaining seagrass beds to obtain planting material.    Seedlings of tape weed can also be pre-planted into the bags following their summer fruiting period before they are dropped to the seafloor. This area has experienced extensive seagrass loss over the last 60 to 80 years due to decreased water quality. While water quality has improved, there are only limited signs of natural seagrass recovery.

In this week's episode, we have a special guest, Jennifer Ferrari, CEO of ERDI Education Research & Development Institute. The episode was captured live at the ERDI conference where education leaders from across the country gather every six months. Todd Dallas Lamb, former White House appointee to the US Department of Education, sits down with Ferrari to discuss what sets ERDI apart from traditional conferences. They dive into the foundation of the conference, the importance of relationship-building, and the unique dynamics of ERDI's panel discussions. Ferrari also shares her insights on selecting superintendents to attend the conference and the changes she made regarding honorariums.Timestamps[00:00:46] Todd's hatred for conferences, and noticed resume swapping at booths. ERDI is different.[00:03:15] This conference highlights interaction, company change, hanging out, panel, informal and formal moments, and is actually two back-to-back conferences.[00:07:47] Dialogue with superintendents can strengthen perspectives and mentorship.[00:11:21] Education and entrepreneurship bring hope for innovation.[00:13:19] Intimate conference design with physical constraints.

Actions, reactions, and interactions are the main things we do as relational beings. Understanding why we approach all these things in a certain way can lead to better and improved choices. But how do we achieve these? Maybe it is time to update our brain's operating system. To learn more, tune in to this episode of Purpose-Driven Wealth with your host, Mo Bina, and guest, Deirdre Morrison. Deirdre shares that getting to know more about our brains to understand the functions of the different components could help us tap into the tools and abilities we can harness. Tune in to learn more! In this episode, Deirdre talks about… "Brain aware" concept Our reticular activating system Schools and environments where children are taught to do things are not necessarily the best way for them to learn. What is neuro-creative, and how can it be harnessed and improved upon? What attracted Dierdre to coaching professionals? Do successful people think differently than non-successful people? How successful people approach the fear of loss differently than non-successful people. How do cognitive biases relate to the concepts of "brain aware" and newer creativity?   About Deirdre Morrison… Deirdre Morrison is a serial entrepreneur, public speaker, certified neuro transformational coach, podcast host, and founder of a nonprofit organization called the neuro Development Institute.

Stephen joins us from his home in the Los Angeles area. Stephen is the founder of The Identity Development Institute and an acclaimed Hollywood Director, and a published poet. He is a father of 3 children, two of whom are Jake and Maggie Gyllenhaal, who are artists in their own right. He grew up with parents (and grandparents) who suffered trauma and addiction. His father, as a young American soldier during World War II, lived the reality of opening and freeing concentration camps in Germany. He also grew up in a Christian cult-like community in Pennsylvania and when he reached college age he saw doors and pathways open ahead of him that he otherwise wouldn't have seen. And one of those paths was film directing. And he never looked back. Kind of. He also went back to school to do a Masters in Therapy. And boy do we discuss some themes that are important to Stephen. We talk about being “sane” in an insane world, the “engine in me”, lack of connection, the love of art, the curiosity in death – and being drawn to skid row. “Art is there to comfort the disturbed and to disturb the comfort”.

Welcome back to America's leading higher education law podcast, EdUp Legal - part of the EdUp Experience Podcast Network! In today's episode, we welcome three guests to discuss Penn State Dickinson Law's leadership and antiracist education: TaWanda H. Stallworth, MDiv, program manager for the Antiracist Development Institute, Professor Dermot Groome, and Anu Gupta, founder and CEO of Be More and a systems designer for the Antiracist Development Institute. The Antiracist Development Institute came out of several Penn State Law faculty resolutions that included adopting an antiracist approach to legal education in June 2020. The Institute built on the foundational work of Dean Conway and four Black women Dean colleagues who started the Law Dean's Antiracist Clearinghouse Project in 2020. Listen as she discusses the Clearinghouse and the Institute in detail in episode 57. Professor Groome explains why the faculty decided to create a race and equal protection in the law course and explains its development and implementation. Program Manager Stallworth tells us about the new initiative of a multi-volume series called building an Antiracist Law School, Legal Academy, and Legal Profession. She shares with us the vast collaboration behind the multi-volume series and the support it has received within and outside the academy. Systems designer Anu Gupta shares how thinking about racism as a system's problem that needs system solutions will help inspire more comprehensive reform. They share the development of course content and the multi-volume series, which helps form and shape the course content. They tell us that the goal of antiracism is a world where all of us are equal and can belong with dignity and humanity. To get involved, check out their website. In the end, they share their predictions for the future of legal education in the coming decade. Professor Groome tells us the importance of teaching students about racism in the legal system. Program Manager Stallworth tells us she anticipates that more people will learn about the problems associated with questioning the merits of Black women. Finally, systems designer Gupta shares his vision for the future of legal education and how antiracism will be discussed beyond issues involving race and equal protection of the law, and integrated in the more traditional courses such as corporations, torts, and contracts.

When Failure Is Not An Option With Matthew Svalina, Senior Research Scientist Emeritus, Children's Cancer Therapy Development Institute, With Host Richard Levick of LEVICK: Matthew Svalina, Senior Research Scientist Emeritus and a co-founder of Children's Cancer Therapy Development Institute, discusses his unique career path with host Richard Levick of LEVICK. Matthew earned a Bachelor of Science degree in Biological Sciences with a minor in Chemistry from the University of Illinois in 2007, then earned a paramedic license through Malcolm X College in Chicago, where he completed his field internship with the Chicago Fire Department on ambulances serving the south side of Chicago, providing paramedic services in one of the most challenging places in America. Matthew is currently finishing his MD-PhD degree from the University of Colorado-Denver. He discusses the personal challenges of choosing this career and the remarkable rewards. The FDA approves on average 12 drugs every year to treat adult cancer, but has only approved 10 drugs to treat childhood cancer since 1978 (10 in 44 years for kids). Since their inception in 2015, cc-TDI has pushed two drugs into three clinical trials to treat childhood cancer.

There is no denying the mental health crisis that is enveloping our kids today. Even before the pandemic, 13 percent of adolescents reported having a major depressive episode, which is 60 percent higher than it was in 2007. That's eight million children aged 3-17 suffering from anxiety, behavioral disorders, or depression. Remember back when we were young? Twenty or 30 years ago, our parents worried about us going out and drinking, smoking, dabbling in what we could get our hands on, and sex of course. But today, those common concerns have been replaced by issues that are a lot more difficult to understand and be in control of. Mental health disorders amongst young people have become so concerning that the Surgeon General issued a rare advisory to address the need for resources in schools and at home. Even before the pandemic, kids were spiraling. Post-pandemic, there is a lot of trauma to unpack and very little understanding of how to deal with it in a way to help our kids before it's too late. So where are we now and what can we do? Let's find out. On the show today is Jeff Vanderploeg, President and Chief Executive Officer of the Child Health and Development Institute, a non-profit that works to identify, support, and promote effective health and mental health innovations in partnership with doctors, government, schools, and state agencies. Jeff himself has a central role in developing the systems, practices, and policies for the prevention and treatment of mental health conditions among children and adolescents and their families and we are very grateful to have him on the show today.From mental health and managing relationships to raising changemakers and advocating for support, freemom is a podcast dedicated to ensuring that every mom feels heard.

If a baby is in your future, this is an episode you cannot miss. Especially if you need help convincing your partner that he needs to step up his game when it comes to reproductive health. Because for far too long, reproductive health conversations have been focused on women. All the advice, pressure, and responsibility has been given to us. But as the saying goes, it takes two to tango.For today's episode, I'm speaking with Dr. Shanna Swan and Stacey Colino, the authors of the new book, Count Down.Shanna is one of the world's leading environmental and reproductive epidemiologists. She is Professor of Environmental Medicine and Public Health at the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai in New York City where she is also a member of the Transdisciplinary Center on Early Environmental Exposures and the Mindich Child Health and Development Institute.Dr. Swan has published more than 200 scientific papers and myriad book chapters and has been featured in extensive media coverage around the world. Her appearances include ABC News, NBC Nightly News, 60 Minutes, CBS News, PBS, the BBC, PRI Radio, and NPR, as well as in leading magazines and newspapers, ranging from The Washington Post to Bloomberg News to New Scientist.Stacey is an award-winning writer, specializing in science, health, and psychological issues, and a certified health coach. Her work has appeared in publications such as The Washington Post, Newsweek, Parade, Woman's Day, Elle, Harper's Bazaar, Marie Claire, Shape, Parenting, Men's Journal, Sports Illustrated, and Good Housekeeping. She has co-authored two additional books on health.The book Count Down takes a look at the dramatic decline in sperm count around the world and the impact of environmental chemicals and pharmaceuticals on reproductive health.And importantly, it brings the issue of male fertility into the spotlight it deserves. After we finished recording, Stacey brought up the important statistics that reproductive issues are ⅓ women's health, ⅓ men's, and the rest is a combination of the two. We can no longer ignore half of this equation, which is why this conversation is so important.This is a longer episode than usual, but it is well-worth it. We cover a lot of ground:- Shanna's initial skepticism about earlier studies suggesting sperm rate decline- What her research found about sperm count- Why the decline is significant and should be taken very seriously- The chemicals contributing to poor sperm health- Things you can do to mitigate exposures for you and your future baby- And so much more.You can buy Count Down here.For a step-by-step plan to reduce your exposure to the key toxins explored in the book, check out my 6-week course, Prepping for Pregnancy: https://greenathome.ca/preppingforpregnancy35 | Fertility & Hormone DisruptorsWhere to Find More from Dr. Shanna Swan:Website: www.shannaswan.comLinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/shanna-swan-phd-339a4258/Twitter: @DrShannaSwanInstagram: @DrShannaSwan*****Green Product Forum: https://facebook.com/groups/greenproductforumInstagram: https://instagram.com/emma_greenathomeWebsite: https://greenathome.ca
