Today we're back for another exploration of the magnificence and mystery of the universe — talking with three researchers who share not only a passion, but a respect for the species in their decidedly non-human, wildly intelligent subjects of research. First we meet Dr. Paco Calvo, a renowned cognitive scientist and professor of philosophy of science at the University of Murcia in Spain. Dr. Calvo has been called a philosopher of biology, who believes that by studying plant cognition, humans might be able to learn a little bit more about ourselves. And we hear from neuroscientist Marcelo Magnasco, a biophysicist professor and head of laboratory at Rockefeller University, New York, who works closely with Dr. Diana Reiss, professor of psychology at Hunter College and the director of the animal behavior and conservation graduate programs. Together, this team explores octopus intelligence.     •    Read the transcript of this episode     •    Subscribe to Stories of Impact wherever you listen to podcasts     •    Find us on Facebook, Twitter, Instagram and YouTube     •    Share your comments, questions and suggestions at info@storiesofimpact.org     •    Supported by Templeton World Charity Foundation

Dolphins are often as creative and personable in real life as they are on the screen. Author and Prof. Diana Reiss Director of the Animal Behavior and Conservation Program at CUNY's own Hunter College joins us to explain why

Lori is Executive Director of The Kimmela Center and Founder & President of The Whale Sanctuary Project. She is a neuroscientist and expert in animal behavior and intelligence, formerly on the faculty of Emory University where she was also a faculty member at the Emory Center for Ethics. She is internationally known for her work on the evolution of the brain and intelligence in dolphins and whales and marine mammal welfare in captivity, as well as cognition in farmed animals through The Someone Project. In 2001 Lori co-authored a ground-breaking study with Diana Reiss offering the first conclusive evidence for mirror self-recognition in bottlenose dolphins, after which she decided against conducting further research with animals held captive in zoos and aquariums. Lori has published over 130 peer-reviewed scientific papers, book chapters, and magazine articles on marine mammal biology and cognition, comparative brain anatomy, self-awareness in nonhuman animals, human-nonhuman animal relationships, and the evolution of intelligence. Lori has appeared in several films and television programs, including Blackfish; Unlocking the Cage; Long Gone Wild and the upcoming documentary about Corky, the orca held captive by SeaWorld since 1969. In Sentientist Conversations we talk about the two most important questions: “what's real?” & “who matters?” Sentientism is "evidence, reason & compassion for all sentient beings." The video of our conversation is here on YouTube. We discuss: 00:00 Welcome - Guest links e.g. Kathy Hessler https://youtu.be/R5eZebUAsQg 01:52 Lori's Intro - A central question: "What is it like to be another animal?" - "I ran into ethical issues that shaped how I conducted my career" - Science then science-based advocacy "it's all based on facts" 04:12 What's Real? - Raised Roman #Catholic as an Italian American in Brooklyn NY "Church on Sunday" - "I started to question the whole proposition... that there's some sort of a god" - Heaven, hell, sin "It's not light hearted... it's dark" - Becoming a recovering Catholic - "If there is a god, it's on vacation" & the #problemofevil - Becoming #atheist "that's what I am today... I don't see any reason to propose that there's anything supernatural out there" - #agnostic "what does that even mean?... I'm atheist in the same way that I don't think that there are purple dinosaurs walking around in my room & talking to me... I'm not agnostic about that." - "I didn't ever draw my ethics from religion" - Catholic "#ethics but from a very weird point of view" - The psychological needs motivating religious belief - Teenage dabbling in #pseudoscience 20:45 What and Who Matters?

If you are a pet owner you probably have plenty of experience trying to get a basic message across to your dog or perhaps if you own a cat you gave up on that hope years ago. Yet many of us have had that momentary glimpse of understanding; that sense that we could communicate if we just worked at it. But is animal translation actually possible? Diana Reiss is a Co-Founder of the Interspecies Internet and Professor in the Department of Psychology at Hunter College. She joins Jonathan to discuss. Dr. Lara Dungan & Dr. Shane Bergin also join Jonathan for Newsround.

Can we build a Dolittle Machine, a piece of technology that will let us converse with the animals of planet Earth? Science fiction writer Matthew De Abaitua investigates how the latest advances in AI mean that this is now more in the realms of the possible, rather than in the purely fantastical. Starting in his garden with two cats, he finds himself in a tropical forest with big-brained hook-wielding birds, surveying multidimensional neural networks, and meets a woman who found out about her pregnancy from a dolphin. There are also robotic fish and sound pictures painted at high speed by fruit bats. What is Matthew's machine going to look like, how will it operate, and what will we learn from it all? Featuring: Linda Erb, vice president of animal care and training, Dolphin Research Center, Florida. Martha Nussbaum, professor of law and philosophy, University of Chicago. Diana Reiss, professor, Department of Psychology, Hunter College. Daniela Rus, roboticist, professor and Director of the Computer Science and Artificial Intelligence Lab, MIT. Natalie Uomini, researcher into New Caledonian crows and animal intelligence. Yossi Yovel, professor, Department of Zoology, Tel Aviv University.

It takes a lot of dedication and patience to train a dog well. However, machines don't need either, and they provide a wealth of useful data. This week, Shawn & Ivan speak with John Honchariw of Companion about training dogs with motion sensor technology. John recommends The Interspecies Internet by Diana Reiss, Peter Gabriel, Neil Gershenfeld & Vint Cerf (bit.ly/3E0bmLY). Learn more about John at joincampanion.com.

How can studying the vocal abilities of animals lend insight into their world? By studying acoustic patterns and cognition, a new understanding of how various animals can be gained. Press play to learn: What animal has the largest brain to body ratio other than humans How dolphins communicate to hunt The impact of studying animal communication Diana Reiss, Ph.D. Professor and Director of the Animal Behavior & Conservation MA & Certificate Programs, stops in to share her work studying the capacity of various species to communicate with one another and what it may indicate. Many people know of the ability of parrots to mimic words and dolphins' ability to echolocate. However, the vast majority do not understand the miraculous cognitive complexity needed to facilitate this ability in animals across the animal kingdom. By attempting to understand how and why animals communicate or feel the need to mimic, humans can better understand how these species operate on a daily basis. But, sadly, this revelation also brings into consideration the inhumane treatment of many vastly intelligent creatures and the need to modernize our way of thinking.  Visit m2c2.net/latexm2c2latex/diana-reiss/diana-reiss/ for more information.

Kristi Ashley Collom is a Senior Research Associate and Dolphin Catalog Manager for Gotham Whale and an acoustic analyst for Wildlife Conservation Society's New York passive acoustic monitoring research. Prior to these positions, Kristi completed her graduate degree in Animal Behavior and Conservation with Dr. Diana Reiss at Hunter College. Kristi grew up in New York City, and began her wildlife career as a polar zookeeper at the Central Park Zoo, where she worked with seals, sea lions and penguins. Kristi traveled to Belize with Oceanic Society to study bottlenose dolphins, and ultimately ended up back in New York City working in marine conservation. In today's conversation we discuss what is known about the dolphins and whales that are seen in New York City waters, with an emphasis on the bottlenose dolphin and humpback whale populations. We discuss the history of these animals in New York, what is known about their social lives and migration patterns, and many of the questions that continue to be a mystery in the lives of these animals.  Gotham WhaleKristi Collom Common Dolphins in the East RiverThe America PrincessArtificial Reefs

Dr. Diana Reiss chats to Dr. Chris Parsons about some of the latest research on dolphin linguistics, intelligence, and self-awareness - including her ground-breaking work on dolphins recognizing themselves in mirrors and her new research in which her research subjects are using a dolphin-friendly ‘iPad’.  

In mountainous regions of the world, there are human societies that use whistled languages to transmit and understand a potentially unlimited number of meanings over great distances. While in graduate school, Dr. Diana Reiss began to wonder: If humans can encode great amounts of information in whistles, perhaps much more is going on with the … Continue reading Ep. 11 – Diana Reiss on recognizing the dolphins in the mirror →

Hunter College cognitive psychologist Diana Reiss describes her search for the Rosetta Stone of dolphin language.

Early in her career researching dolphin intelligence Diana Reiss began wondering, "Who is training who?" Diana Reiss, a cognitive psychologist and a marine mammal scientist, is a Professor in the Department of Psychology at Hunter College and the Graduate Center, City University of New York. Dr. Reiss's research focuses on dolphin cognition, communication, comparative animal cognition, and the evolution of intelligence. Much of her work has investigated vocal communication and vocal learning in dolphins using observational and experimental approaches. She pioneered the use of underwater keyboards with dolphins to investigate their cognitive and communicative abilities. Dr. Reiss and her colleagues also demonstrated that bottlenose dolphins and an Asian elephants possess the rare ability for mirror self-recognition previously thought to be restricted to humans and great apes. Her advocacy work in conservation and animal welfare includes the protection of dolphins in the tuna-fishing industry and her current efforts to bring an end to the killing of dolphins in the drive hunts in Japan. Dr. Reiss's work has been featured in hundreds of articles in international and national journals, science magazines, television segments and features, and newspaper articles. Her book, The Dolphin in the Mirror: exploring dolphin minds and saving dolphin lives was published in 2011. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Son mamíferos como nosotros y compartimos un antepasado que vivió hace unos 90 millones de años. Este largo trecho evolutivo ha hecho que nos diferenciemos de los delfines, pero un rasgo muy particular ha surgido con independencia en ambos linajes: la inteligencia. En este capítulo de Redes, la experta en cognición de delfines Diana Reiss, repasa con Eduard Punset las habilidades de, seguramente, la especie marina más inteligente. Y en su sección, Elsa Punset aborda la empatía y el altruismo como motores fundamentales en la historia evolutiva de nuestra especie.

Jon Patch welcomes Diana Reiss, author of Dolphin In The Mirror. Diana Reiss is one of the world’s leading experts on dolphin intelligence. In addition, as a dolphin advocate, she is a leading rescuer who helped inspire and served as an adviser for the Oscar-winning film The Cove. Here, she combines her science and activism to show just how smart dolphins really are and why we must stop mistreating them. Readers will be astonished at their sophisticated lifelong creativity and playfulness, their emotional intelligence, their level of self-awareness, and their ability to communicate with humans. In the second part of the show, Jon talks to Rob Atkinson, CEO of The Elephant Sanctuary in Tennessee. The Elephant Sanctuary in Hohenwald, Tennessee, is the nation's largest natural-habitat refuge developed specifically to meet the needs of endangered elephants. It is a non-profit organization, licensed by the U.S. Department of Agriculture and the Tennessee Wildlife Resources Agency, and accredited by the Association of Sanctuaries, designed specifically for old, sick or needy elephants who have been retired from zoos and circuses.
