Teaching can feel like driving on autopilot - same route, same scenery, same old routine. So what happens when that journey starts to feel monotonous and uninspiring? In today's conversation, I dive deep into a feeling that every teacher experiences at some point: boredom. Whether you're an AP Biology teacher counting down to exam day or a Earth Science instructor trudging through yet another semester of the same curriculum, staleness can creep into even the most passionate teacher's classroom.I've been there, teaching multiple sections of general biology, repeating the same lessons over and over again, semester after semester. That's why I'm sharing eight practical strategies to reignite your teaching spark when your job feels stale. They worked for me, and I know they can work for you too! From considering a new course prep to collaborating with colleagues, investing in fresh resources, and shifting towards more student-centered approaches, these tips are designed to help you break out of your educational rut and rediscover the joy of teaching.➡️ Show Notes: https://itsnotrocketscienceclassroom.com/episode181Resources Mentioned:INRS PD CoursesLabs When Limited Virtual PD Course (free!)Core Values Mini-CourseTeach the Class Project Download your FREE Classroom Reset Challenge.Send me a DM on Instagram: @its.not.rocket.scienceSend me an email: rebecca@itsnotrocketscienceclassroom.com  Follow, rate, and review on Apple Podcasts.Related Episodes and Blog Posts:Episode 29, Student-Centered Pedagogy: What It IsEpisode 30, Student-Centered Pedagogy: Why Make the ShiftEpisode 31, Student-Centered Pedagogy: How to Do ItEpisode 32, Student-Centered Pedagogy: One Way to StartEpisode 72, Review Strategies for EOC, Benchmark, and AP ExamsEpisode 121, Burned Out?

What do you do when the subject of your research lies deep beneath the waves? Send down an underwater robot, of course! We chat to volcanologist Sofia Della Sala about her recent fieldwork expedition to Santorini, where she used a Remotely Operated Vehicle, or ROV, to search for hydrothermal vents in the Aegean Sea. These vents - which are like hot springs on the sea floor - could provide vital insight into the volcanic and tectonic activity in the region.

Send us a textA story of early Earth science in action! Mary Anning was a pioneering paleontologist and fossil hunter who reshaped our understanding of prehistoric life. Growing up by the seaside cliffs of Lyme Regis, England, she uncovered ancient creatures hidden in the rocks—like giant sea reptiles and even fossilized dinosaur poop! Her discoveries helped scientists understand that creatures could go extinct and that the Earth was much older than people once believed. Her work was often dismissed and she rarely received the credit she deserved. Today, she is known around the world as the unsung hero for the scientific study of life through fossils. Go to the episode webpage: https://jonincharacter.com/mary-anning/             Get a free activity guide on Mary Anning: https://dorktalesstorytime.aweb.page/ep109freePDF If you enjoyed this story about Mary Anning, you may also enjoy learning about Evelyn Cheesman, another Earth Science's hidden hero of history who observed, collected and catalogued previously undiscovered insects, reptiles, amphibians, and plants—over 70,000 of them: https://jonincharacter.com/evelyn-cheesman/ CREDITS: Hidden Heroes of History is a Jonincharacter production.

“Diamonds are nonsense!” Hannah boldly proclaimed in a previous episode. But listener Guy is a diamond enthusiast, and he and his diamond-loving pals were NOT OKAY WITH THIS. He demanded we re-open the case, and here we are...SO in this glittering showdown, Dara is on a quest to flip Hannah's perspective from “meh” to “marvelous.” And for Hannah, some uncomfortable facts soon emerge. It turns out that diamonds are much more than just overpriced bling. They're the secret ingredient in all sorts of high-tech gadgets with a whole arsenal of little-known superpowers.Enter electrochemist Julie Macpherson, who blows Hannah's mind by showing how diamonds can slice through ice like butter, thanks to their unmatched ability to conduct heat. Not impressed yet? Physicist Mark Newton makes a diamond glow in the dark, using nothing but his phone flashlight. And that's just to start! These ultra-robust gems can scrub nasty chemicals from water, serve as supercharged electrodes, and even reveal deep-earth secrets locked away for billions of years. By the end of this episode, will Hannah finally admit diamonds are forever cool?

"This composition is intended to hiss out of speakers in a similar manner to the liquid nitrogen hissing from the storage tanks outside the Department of Earth Sciences. It's a sonic reflection on standing in this small street, being surrounded on every side by the sounds of humming machinery, coolant and air conditioning, the administrative machinery that underpins and helps to make possible Oxford University's scientific research. This machinery is the unsung hero of our piece.  "A tribute to the sounds of science here in our home city, layers of the liquid nitrogen field recording are delayed and granular synthesis is applied, over which huge, steady waves of ambient guitar wash, and a synth made from the sounds of metals provides an ambient pad undercurrent." Liquid nitrogen tanks at Oxford University reimagined by Cities and Memory. 

Outside the Department of Earth Sciences at the University of Oxford, there are several gigantic, almost-building height tanks of liquid nitrogen behind a fence, encrusted with ice and with vapour hissing out from the pipes at the bottom. The sounds of hissing liquid nitrogen vapours mix with the industrial drones of other nearby scientific machinery and air conditioning devices coming from science labs, a sonic reminder of all the fantastic research taking place behind closed doors in these advanced university research facilities.  Recorded by Cities and Memory.

Climate change can impact the weather in a number of ways, from more severe storms to extreme temperatures and drought.And, as we see in the Midwest every spring and fall, temperatures can vary wildly in the span of just a day. That's because Indiana is in the middle of a weather front, a transition zone between two contrasting air masses: warm, moist air from the Gulf of Mexico and cold air from the north.Related: How is climate change impacting Indiana? Like many communities, Bloomington has made combatting climate change a priority. Two commissions, each composed of 12 residents, are working on climate and environmental issues.Five years ago, the Bloomington City Council created a Climate Action and Resilience Committee. But earlier this month, and at the recommendation of committee chair Matt Flaherty, it was disbanded, after he said it largely had accomplished its original mission of developing an action plan and accountability trackers, such as the city's climate dashboard.Read more: City council plans to disband climate committeeBut he also said the four-member committee has occasionally stretched council resources thin. Flaherty said those resources would be better spent developing climate policy within those existing city bodies, such as the new Transportation Commission.Bloomington mayor Kerry Thomson said combatting climate change is a priority but acknowledges a climate action plan can also tax city resources.Read more: Thompson on the city's climate prioritiesBut how do we combat climate change?Gabriel Filipelli, professor of earth sciences and the executive director of the IU Environmental Resilience Institute, said climate change effects can be curbed by reducing greenhouse gas emissions to the point where they can be absorbed by nature. This is called achieving net zero.  On this week's Noon Edition, we'll discuss how city policies can combat climate change – and what you can do individually.Join us on the air by calling 812-855-0811 or toll-free at 1-877-285-9348.

We are thrilled to bring you the top entries from the 2024 SEG Student Chapter Podcast Challenge as a special set of three episodes. This is the third and final bonus episode in this special series.  We'll hear two segments that consider ore deposit models and environment of formation for Au deposits, traveling from China to Japan.Chapter 1:  From mineral system to exploration: a case in giant Zaozigou Au-Sb depositsSEG STUDENT CHAPTER: China University of Geosciences, Beijing (CUG-B) Host:  Jiayi WangGuest:  Jingyuan ZhangThis podcast episode focuses on the understanding of mineral systems and their role in shaping exploration strategies, with the giant Zaozigou Au-Sb deposits as a case study. Detailed geological mapping, geochronology, fluid inclusion, and structure analysis have revealed the structural framework, precipitation mechanisms, and the separation of gold and antimony in the Zaozigou deposits. These theoretical insights lead to practical exploration advancements in predicting the gold-antimony orebody occurrence, avoiding ineffective engineering practices, and locating the distribution of native goldChapter 2:  Hot spring deposits - key finder for hidden ore deposits along the Peruvian AndesSEG STUDENT CHAPTER:  SEG - NMSM (Universidad Nacional Mayor de San Marcos)Hosts:  Rosa Razuri Prado and Paula Martinez SeguraProducers: Alvaro Zapata Cornejo, Jean Crisólogo Zapata, Braian Vara GuzmanGuest:  Diana Pajuelo Aparicio, Professor at Universidad Nacional Mayor de San Marcos, Peru Peru is a country well-known for its complex geology, with hot springs distributed along high altitudes surrounded by unconsolidated deposits overlapping exhumed ore deposits. This podcast episode is focused on understanding the presence of economically important metals trapped inside hot spring deposits, revealing a potential key finder for uncovering hidden ore deposits.Diana Pajuelo, geologist with 11 years of experience in regional geology and geothermal energy, participated in various projects with the Geological Survey of Peru. Her expertise provides a perspective on two types of hot spring deposits, the capacity for hosting metals influenced by biotic or abiotic factors, and the overlap between ore deposits and hot springs along the Andes.Theme music is Hot Wheel Breakdown by Elliot Holmes stock.adobe.com epidemicsound.comAdobe Stock ID: #356951050 

We are thrilled to bring you the top entries from the 2024 SEG Student Chapter Podcast Challenge as a special set of three episodes.  This second episode in the mini-series pairs the 2024 Silver the intriguing stories and history shared by an esteemed geologist in Brazil, with a second segment that uncovered the history and mining potential of northern England. Chapter 1:  Title: The Evolution of Geology in Brazil with Reinhardt FückSEG STUDENT CHAPTER – University of BrasiliaHosts:  Amanda Rompava and Gustavo D'Amore HeerProducers:  Juliana Berbert and MarianaGuest:  Professor Reinhardt Adolfo FückThe theme of this episode tells the story behind the articles and mapping work of one of Brazil's greatest geological characters, with special emphasis on the magmatic arc of Goiás in the Brasília belt, where important deposits reside, as well as his significant work on crustal structure, the Tocantins Province, and Goiás Massif.With a cautious eye and carrying the experience of working with geology since the 1960s, Professor Reinhardt shares with us the unwritten history behind published articles, his perspecitve on the evolution of knowledge in the field and also the importance of mapping for a geology career.Chapter 2:  ‘The Critical Mineral Potential of the North of England'SEG STUDENT CHAPTER NAME:  University of LeedsHosts, Lily Dickson and Brayden Pickard Guests:  Dr. James Shaw  (structural geologist) and Adam Eskdale (Rio Tinto)provides an overview of mineral exploration and extraction in our region of the UK, the North of England (Figure 1) and its critical mineral potential.  In February 2024, our student chapter hosted a mini-conference on the subject of critical minerals (Figure 2) with talks from companies including British Lithium, the Critical Minerals Association (UK) and Green Lithium. We were inspired to carry out further research into the critical mineral potential of the region we live in, the North of England, which we present in this podcast. At present, the UK does not extract any of the 18 critical minerals on the 2021 list published by the British Geological Survey (BGS). This renders the UK completely reliant on international supply which is a big problem, and one that we must try to address through increased mineral exploration and mining in the near future. In order to provide a full picture of the critical mineral potential of our region, we explore the rich mining history of the North of England, dating back to the Bronze Age at sites such as Alderly Edge (Figure 3). We also investigate current critical mineral projects: Li exploration around the Weardale Granite and Potash mining near the town of Whitby. Finally, we speak to Dr James Shaw and Dr Adam Eskdale who have worked on fluorspar mineralisation in the South Pennine Orefield and cobalt mineralisation in the Lake District, respectively. They provide insights into these deposits and to potential barriers to their extraction in the future. A big thank you goes to Dr James Shaw and Adam Eskdale for sharing their expertise with our student chapter! 

We are thrilled to bring you the top entries from the 2024 SEG Student Chapter Podcast Challenge as a special set of three episodes.  This episode pairs the 2024 Bronze winner with another that explored some of the political and environmental challenges in developing mineral deposits.  Chapter 1:  The deposit that brought down a governmentSEG STUDENT CHAPTER NAME: The Pennsylvania State University (Penn State)Co-hosts:  Rory Changleng, Alex Cerminaro Producer: Rory Changleng Chapter Notes What mineral deposit became such a politicised commodity that it brought down a government? In this episode, two Penn State students, Rory and Alex, discuss what got them into geology and inspired them as budding economic geologists to begin a new SEG Student Chapter at Penn State. Alex reminisces about how trying to discover gold in his grandmother's garden in Pennsylvania led to his working with an Alaska exploration company to date gold mineralisation using a novel geochemical technique. Rory tells the story of the Ilimaussaq intrusion in Southern Greenland, home of the Kvanefjeld deposit. It was visiting this deposit during undergraduate fieldwork that opened his mind to the turbulent and consequential world of economic geology. Exploiting Kvanefjeld proved so divisive that it drove the collapse of the Greenlandic government. But as the second largest rare earth element deposit on Earth, surely it's just a matter of time until mining begins?Chapter 2:  Should we Mine the Seafloor? SEG STUDENT CHAPTER NAME: SEG of Athens Host: Pavlos ZambrasGuests:  Evi Dimou and Revekka AvoukatouChapter Notes Exploring the depths of the ocean for valuable resources presents an alluring frontier in human endeavor: Deep Sea mining. This venture entails a journey into the unknown, facing both mysteries and challenges while uncovering the potential of extracting precious materials from the ocean floor. The vast expanse of the deep sea, encompassing more than 65% of Earth's surface, harbors immense reservoirs of base metals, precious metals, and critical elements like nickel, copper, cobalt, and manganese. These elements are indispensable for powering the transition towards clean green energy. Whether it's polymetallic nodules or seafloor massive sulfide found at hydrothermal vent fields, these resources offer the promise of driving technological progress and fostering economic development in the years ahead. However, the pursuit of these underwater treasures is not devoid of controversy. Deep sea mining raises profound concerns regarding its environmental impact, sustainability, and the ethical utilization of Earth's resources. It's crucial to acknowledge that these deep-sea environments host unique life forms not found elsewhere on the planet, including highly complex prokaryotic communities and microbes with exceptional tolerance to acidity and antibiotics. International regulations governing deep sea mining are still under development, adding to the uncertainty surrounding this practice. Many fear the potential ecological disruption it could bring to an area of our planet that remains largely unexplored. The question arises: Can we afford the environmental and ecological risks associated with deep sea mining? Or, put more simply, should we proceed with mining the seafloor?

The Trump administration says it will hire more seasonal workers than usual to staff the national parks, after laying off hundreds of park employees. But park rangers and other workers at Yosemite, and across the country, are up in arms over their sudden firings, which in many cases will leave them homeless too. This is all part of the Trump-Elon Musk DOGE “government efficiency plan” which has seen tens of thousands of federal employees summarily dismissed over the last few weeks. At Yosemite, angry workers hung an upside down American flag on El Capitan over the weekend, a sign of distress. Yosemite has lost dozens of employees, from naturalists to technical support staff such as its electrician and its locksmith. The Golden Gate National Recreation Area here in the Bay Area is another popular national park hit hard by the cost-cutting move. For more, KCBS political reporter Doug Sovern, along with KCBS Radio anchors Bret Burkhart and Patti Reising, spoke with Neal Desai, Pacific Regional Director for the National Parks Conservation Association.

Sara Gagné is an author and associate professor of landscape ecology in the Department of Geography and Earth Sciences at the University of North Carolina. Her research, teaching, and writing is dedicated to understanding and communicating how people and nature interact in cities. In this episode of Nature Revisited, Stefan and Sara discuss her book 'Nature at Your Door: Connecting with the Wild', which explores how what we do in our yards matters just as much as the way our local parks and nature preserves are managed. Beginning with a perspective of the yard, moving onto streets, parks, neighborhoods and cities, Sara illustrates how people and nature are vitally connected in the urban and suburban landscape.

In the summer of 2011, paleontologist and science writer Riley Black was on a mission. Walking through the Montana desert, she was on the lookout for a Tyrannosaurus rex. But that day, she wasn't having any luck. Sitting atop a rock, she pulled out a geological hammer, sometimes called a rock pick, to dislodge a little piece and try to discern its composition. What she saw was a leaf, but upon closer inspection realized it was in fact the fossil of a leaf. As it turned out, finding it likely provided so much more information than if she had come across the dinosaur. In this episode of Tiny Matters, we explore the complex and essential relationship between plants and animals across evolution and some of the pivotal moments that allowed humans to exist and that led to the world we live in today.

We're experimenting and would love to hear from you!In this episode of 'Discover Daily', we explore three significant stories shaping our world. The episode kicks off with a deep dive into the financial landscape of X (formerly Twitter), where Morgan Stanley leads a consortium of banks preparing to sell billions in Musk-related debt at a discounted rate, reflecting the platform's challenging journey since its $44 billion acquisition. We then transitions to examining the growing momentum of the four-day workweek movement in the UK, where 200 companies across various sectors are pioneering this revolutionary approach to work-life balance, despite some implementation challenges.And finally, we conclude with an extraordinary geological discovery - the Davis Strait proto-microcontinent, hidden beneath the waters between Greenland and Canada. This remarkable formation, spanning 400 kilometers with a continental crust thickness of 19-24 kilometers, provides unprecedented insights into Earth's tectonic history. The microcontinent's formation process, which began 118 million years ago, serves as a pristine example of continental breakup mechanisms and offers valuable clues about our planet's future geological evolution.From Perplexity's Discover Feed:https://www.perplexity.ai/page/banks-selling-x-debt-Twz2jcL4RfiYdBIjE91HZAhttps://www.perplexity.ai/page/uks-four-day-workweek-push-4kKE6f18TJmxjFlwdTjKAQ ​​https://www.perplexity.ai/page/new-microcontinent-discovered-_EQhEW.7QR6DtKUViXRXzgPerplexity is the fastest and most powerful way to search the web.

Grandpa Bill's Grunts & Groans @billholt8792 n my recent online course with the esteemed Dr. Anthony Metivier, a two-time guest on my "BH Sales Kennel Kelp Holistic Healing Hour" podcast and YouTube@billholt8792 channel, we delved deep into the transformative power of mentorship. This experience inspired me to create an acronym that encapsulates the essence of mentorship within the context of community advocacy: MENTOR Mentorship: Seeking guidance and sharing wisdom within our community. Empowerment: Lifting others up and fostering their growth. Nurturing: Providing support and fostering a sense of belonging within our community. Transformation: Inspiring positive change and creating a better future for all. Opportunity: Providing pathways for growth and development for all community members. Resilience: Building strength and perseverance in the face of challenges. This acronym serves as a powerful framework for understanding the vital role mentors play in our lives and how we can leverage the power of mentorship to drive positive change within our communities. Reflecting on my own journey, I am deeply grateful for the incredible teachers who have shaped me: Mr. Scott, my Junior High School Social Studies Teacher, ignited my passion for storytelling and inspired me to use my voice for good. Sister Mary of The Sacred Heart, my elementary school teacher, always believed in me and encouraged my unique talents. Coach Asali, who taught me the importance of teamwork and collaboration. Professor Ayers, whose lectures on Earth Science ignited a fire within me to make a difference. Ms. Guthrie, who opened doors for me and helped me overcome obstacles. My grandfather, who taught me the value of hard work and never giving up. These individuals, along with countless others, have instilled in me the importance of community, service, and making a positive impact on the world. I encourage you to reflect on your own journey: Who are the mentors who have shaped your life? How can you leverage the power of mentorship to make a difference in your community? Share your thoughts and experiences in the comments section below, and join the conversation on my "BH Sales Kennel Kelp Holistic Healing Hour" podcast and YouTube channel. Let's inspire each other to become agents of positive change within our communities. #MentorshipMatters,#CommunityAdvocacy,#TeacherAppreciation,#BHSalesKennelKelpHolisticHealingHour, #GrandpaBill, #DrAnthonyMetivier, #MagneticMemoryMethod, I look forward to hearing from you!

Don't Forget To Stay For Part 2! I'm really excited for this new episode premiere with the authors of Why Vegans Have Smaller Brains! This goes into proper nutrition from a biological, medical, and evolutionary standpoint, something that is very much in keeping with everything I've been talking about, but also goes into how regenerative agriculture and cows in particular are vital for restoring the health of the ecosystem and environment. "Why Vegans Have Smaller Brains" challenges conventional wisdom about diet and health. It argues that a carnivore-like diet, the 'Sapiens Diet,' is not only optimal for human health but also crucial for environmental restoration. Explore how this diet can reverse chronic diseases, improve human health, and restore the planet through regenerative grazing practices. Discover why plant-based diets may be harming us, cows can actually help the environment, and regenerative farming is key to a sustainable future. Featuring expert authors with backgrounds in medicine, nutrition, and environmental science. We will also be reading this book in my Patreon Book Club this month with a limited amount of free copies to bookclub members, and the authors will be joining for a discussion at the end!

Genevieve Willis from London, Ontario asks: Is there any evidence to suggest that “getting cold” by, say, dressing inadequately in cold weather, or sitting in a cold draft, actually increases our susceptibility to illness?For the frigid answer, we spoke with Michael Kennedy who is an associate professor of exercise physiology at the University of Alberta. Jim Raso from St. Albert Alberta wrote us: My question has to do with our sense of time passing. As I have gotten older – I am 73 now –  I noticed that time seemed to pass more quickly.  Why does this happen?For the answer, we asked Dr. Holly K. Andersen, a professor of philosophy at Simon Fraser University in Burnaby, British Columbia.Dan from Chateau-Richer in Quebec writes: Where does moon dust come from?We reached out to planetary geologist Gordon Osinski, a professor of Earth Sciences at Western University, who has studied samples sent back from the Apollo missions. Scott Beach from East York Ontario asks: Why do dogs sniff and lick each other's butts?To get the answer, we reached out to Simon Gadbois, the principal investigator at the Canine olfaction lab at Dalhousie University.Robert Smith from Victoria asks: Is there evidence to suggest red-heads are particularly sensitive to pain? To find out, we spoke with someone who has studied this in the past: Jeffrey Mogil, the E.P. Taylor Professor of Pain Studies at the Alan Edwards Centre for Research on Pain at McGill University.Stephen Quinn from St. John's, Newfoundland asks: How can the universe be expanding at the same time as galaxies are colliding?For the smashing answer, we spoke with Sara Ellison, a professor of physics and astronomy at the University of Victoria. Susan Boyd from Ottawa asks: Since some of the elements in the periodic table do not occur naturally, is there a limit to the new elements that could be created? If so, what is the limiting factor? We went to the National Research Council Canada's element expert, Juris Meija, for this answer. Robert LaRoche in Halifax asks: Why is the color of wet clothes always more vivid than when they are dry?For the answer, we turned to Sarah Purdy, a Physicist at the University of Saskatchewan who uses light to investigate materials. Paul Vander Griendt of Newmarket, Ontario asks: If animals wake up at sunrise and go to sleep at sunset, how do they cope with the varying hours of sunlight? How do they do compared to humans who are supposed to get 8 to 9 hours of sleep regardless of the length of sunlight? For the answer we turned to Ming Fei Li a Phd candidate at the University of Toronto in Anthropology who is studying the sleep patterns of animals. Marie Beaudoin from Salt Spring Island, BC asks: How do birds where the males and females look the same tell each other apart when it comes to mating?” We went to Matt Reudinik, a professor of biology at Thompson Rivers University in Kamloops, BC, for the answer. Warren Saylor of London, Ontario asks: Could Neanderthals speak? If they could not, would that contribute to the dominance of Homo Sapiens?We spoke to paleoanthropologist Dr. Bence Viola, an associate professor in the department of Anthropology at the University of Toronto.

Some optimistic and positive science news to end the year.For rats, anticipation of a pleasurable event is a pleasure in itself One day early in the pandemic, behavioural neuroscientist Kelly Lambert from the University of Richmond went to check on her rats. The rats responded with excitement when they saw her, anticipating the treats they were about to receive. That inspired her to pivot her research to study the effects that anticipating pleasurable experiences could have on the brain. She's found in research that has yet to be published, that building in anticipation periods before they get to do something they enjoy, increases, which, if her findings extend to humans, could help boost mental resiliency. Their previous work was published in Behavioural Brain Research. How Marine Protected Areas are improving tuna fisheriesA comprehensive study of province-sized marine protected areas in the tropical pacific has shown that they not only provide a refuge for fish, but improve tuna fisheries harvests in the areas outside their borders, making a win-win for conservation and industry. John Lynham, a professor of Economics at the University of Hawaii at Manoa, led the study which was published in the journal Science.For chimpanzees, play and the world plays with youA study of chimpanzees in Zambia has revealed that play and grooming are infectious behaviours. Animals who observe others performing these activities are more likely to groom and play themselves, which the researchers think promotes social cohesion in the troop. Zanna Clay, a professor of Psychology at Durham University, was part of the team, which published their research in the journal PLOS One.The oceans smallest plants and animals could help suck up excess atmospheric carbonResearchers may have discovered a new, fairly simple way to stimulate life in the ocean to capture and lock up atmospheric carbon. Phytoplankton absorbs and then releases 150 billion tons of atmospheric carbon every year. The researchers found that by adding just a little bit of clay to a phytoplankton bloom, this glues carbon particles together, creating “carbon snow” that falls down and is eaten by zooplankton, who then deposit it in the deep ocean. Mukul Sharma, a professor of Earth Sciences at Dartmouth College, says that in the lab this method locked up 90 per cent of the carbon that phytoplankton released. His study was published in the journal Nature Scientific Reports.A seal of approval: Unique elephant seal behaviour observed by a failed experimentA team of researchers developed a sophisticated deep-water experiment to observe and listen for sounds made by sablefish. They were startled when their study site was repeatedly visited by elephant seals, who would chase and chow down on the sablefish — all at 645 meters below the ocean's surface. This accidental observation was made in the Barkley Canyon Node, part of the Ocean Networks Canada (ONC) cabled video-observatory. It was the first time that elephant seals were studied in the deep ocean, giving unexpected and valuable new insights into seal resting and foraging behaviour. The findings were published in the journal PLOS One.Producer Amanda Buckiewicz spoke with Rodney Rountree, an independent biologist, ichthyologist, and adjunct marine biologist in the Department of Biology at Victoria University.And Héloïse Frouin-Mouy, an assistant scientist at the University of Miami's Cooperative Institute for Marine and Atmospheric Studies, and affiliate at the University of Victoria.

Have you ever heard of the word – shadenfreude. It's when you are amused by or laugh at someone else's failure or misfortune. We've all done it, and this episode begins by explaining why we do it and what it says about you. https://www.livescience.com/17398-schadenfreude-affirmation.html Why in the world would you need someone else to tell you how to sleep, breathe and hydrate yourself? You are about to find out when you listen to my discussion with Dr. Michael Breus. He is regarded as one of the top sleep experts around and he has done some extraordinary research into how making small improvements in these three simple things – sleeping, drinking and breathing – will do wonders for your health. It is simple yet powerful advice. Michael Breus is a double-boarded clinical psychologist and clinical sleep specialist and author of several books. His latest is called Sleep Drink Breathe: Simple Daily Habits for Profound Long-Term Health (https://amzn.to/3ATqDCc). Here is the link to take the Chrono Quiz Michael discusses: https://sleepdoctor.com/sleep-quizzes/chronotype-quiz/ There is a real fascination with dinosaurs in our culture. These huge creatures roamed and dominated our planet and then one day – disappeared. What are dinosaurs? How big did they get? Why did they die off? What I find so amazing is that we are still discovering new species of dinosaurs millions of years later – 46 so far this year! Hear to explain and discuss this is Armin Schmitt. He is a vertebrate paleontologist and research assistant at the Department of Earth Sciences at Oxford University and author of the book The Lost World of the Dinosaurs: Uncovering the Secrets of the Prehistoric Age (https://amzn.to/40Tz3UQ). While we have made great strides in our awareness of the dangers of drunk driving, you don't hear much “drowsy driving.” This is when people drive when they are so sleepy they fall asleep at the wheel. It happens more than you think. Listen as I explain the magnitude of the problem and what you can do. https://www.nsc.org/road/safety-topics/fatigued-driver PLEASE SUPPORT OUR SPONSORS!!!
