Patrick Louchouarn, PhD, is our inspiring guest on the Faculty Factory Podcast this week. And speaking of inspiration, as discussed in this rich conversation, faculty members in general truly inspire Dr. Louchouarn with their creativity, engagement, and commitment to their profession. In fact, those who chose the path of academic health are particularly compelling to Dr. Louchouarn because much of their work is rooted in the fundamental question: “How can I improve health for others—individuals, communities, or through specific procedures like surgeries or prosthetics?” This mindset is quite extraordinary, and according to Dr. Louchouarn, it embodies maximum altruism. The one thing to be extra cautious about is that if we don't start conversations about purpose and core values, a disconnect may occur. The further we stray from the original motivation—the story of why someone chose to enter this particular health field—the greater that disconnect becomes, as discussed in this interview. With The Ohio State University in Columbus, he is a Leadership & Performance Coach and serves as Senior Vice Provost for Faculty within the Office of Academic Affairs. Additionally, he serves as a Professor in the School of Earth Sciences and is an affiliated faculty member with the Ohio State Sustainability Institute.

“It's really changed my view of what life is. So many of the things that we attribute to the trappings of life look like requirements, like oxygen and sunlight. All the things that humans would absolutely die without — they're not really necessary for life. Studying these things sort of breaks down what is necessary; what are the things that life has to have?”Karen G.

“I want to draw the similarities with alien life, and we have these questions. They're the same questions that we would be asking if we could get a sample from Europa or if we could get a sample from Mars. I think the parallels are partly in how we study them. They're teaching us how to look for strange life, but then they're also teaching us about what's possible with life, and they're so close to the edge of what is and isn't life that it really helps us to sort of — I don't know. I don't know where to draw that line personally, but they at least show us that that line is maybe closer to non-life than we would have thought, than I would have thought.”Karen G.

Host Courtney Manthey unpack the obstetric dilemma with Dr. Anna G. Warrener. Dr. Anna G. Warrener earned her PhD from Washington University in St. Louis in 2012. She is now an assistant professor of anthropology at the University of Colorado Denver. She specializes in human evolutionary biology, biomechanics, and the evolution of locomotion. Her research explores how skeletal morphology influences movement, with a particular focus on the biomechanics of the pelvis, gait, and bipedal efficiency. Through experimental and comparative approaches, Dr. Warrener investigates how evolutionary pressures have shaped human locomotion and what these adaptations reveal about our ancestors. She is also passionate about mentoring students and fostering interdisciplinary research that bridges anthropology, biology, and biomechanics. ------------------------------ Find the paper discussed in this episode: Warrener, A.

With more than 70% of its surface covered in water, Earth is rightly known as the "blue planet". But where did this water - so essential to life - originate? While some theories suggest that hydrogen was delivered to Earth from space via asteroids, new research indicates that the building blocks for water may have been present on our planet all along. We chat to Tom Barrett from Oxford's Department of Earth Sciences to find out more.    

How do you stay motivated, ethical, and impactful in engineering—even when everything around you is changing? On this episode of the Engineer Your Success Podcast, Dr. James Bryant talks with Dr. Emily Grubert, a nationally respected researcher in infrastructure and energy systems at Notre Dame. They cover how engineers can adapt to shrinking grant funding, political resistance to climate policy, and a changing professional landscape—while staying true to their mission. You’ll walk away with practical strategies for building a future-ready engineering career, grounded in ethics, resilience, and real-world value.

Mike Iversen came from an Evangelical background, and after getting degrees in English and Earth Science, he felt called to bring his skills to youth ministry, going on to get an M.A. in Theology from Fuller Seminary. During his studies, he also spent many years working with Young Life. His study of apologetics, Church history, and more helped him realize the need for a solid authority in a world plagued by relativism. He was also drawn by the reality of Christ's power in the sacraments, and knew he had to come home to the Catholic Church.

There are living creatures dwelling deep below the surface of the Earth, as deep as we are able to drill. These hearty microorganisms are related to more familiar life forms on land and under water, but the operate and survive in ways that are quite different from what we're familiar with. They live off of nutrients that have penetrated from the surface, or sometimes off of pure electrons. Karen Lloyd is a scientist who has traveled around the world studying these organisms, as she explains in her new book Intraterrestrials: Discovering the Strangest Life on Earth.Blog post with transcript: https://www.preposterousuniverse.com/podcast/2025/05/12/314-karen-lloyd-on-the-deep-underground-biosphere/Support Mindscape on Patreon.Karen Lloyd received a Ph.D. in marine sciences from the University of North Carolina.

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?

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. 

"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.

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?

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.
