How a helpless baby bird protects itself from hungry huntersThere's not a more vulnerable creature in nature than a baby bird. Tiny and immobile, they're easy pickings for predators. But the chicks of the white-necked jacobin hummingbird have evolved a unique defence. They disguise themselves as poisonous caterpillars to discourage those that might eat them. Jay Falk, an NSF postdoctoral fellow at the University of Colorado and Scott Taylor, director of the Mountain Research Station and associate professor at the University of Colorado, studied these birds in Panama. Their research was published in the journal Ecology.Seals have a sense of their oxygen levels, which makes them better diversSeals can dive at length to tremendous depth thanks to some remarkable adaptations, like the ability to collapse their lungs, and radically lower their heart rate. Chris McKnight, a senior research fellow at the University of St Andrews Sea Mammal Research Unit in Scotland, led a study looking to see if tweaking oxygen and C02 levels changed the seals' dive times. The researchers discovered that the seals have the unique ability to measure the oxygen levels in their tissues, so they can anticipate when they need to return to the surface before they get into trouble. The research was published in the journal Science.Fruit flies can show a playful sideAs the joke goes, time flies like an arrow, fruit flies like a banana. Researchers recently demonstrated that fruit flies enjoy more than just aged produce. Using a custom carousel built to fly scale, scientists found that some, but not all, of their fruit flies would play on it, enjoying an activity that had nothing to do with the necessities of life. This brings up the possibility  of variability in personality for fruit flies. Wolf Hütteroth is an associate professor at Northumbria  University, Newcastle and was part of the team, whose research was published in the journal Current Biology.Scaring krill with a dose of penguin pooKrill, the small, shrimp-like creatures that swarm the world's oceans and are particularly abundant in southern oceans, play a big role in marine food webs, connecting microscopic organisms with many of the oceans' larger animal species. Researchers in Australia investigated how krill respond to predator cues, like the smell of their feces. Nicole Hellessey, from the University of Tasmania, said the mere whiff of penguin feces affects the Antarctic krills' feeding behaviour and causes them to take frantic evasive action. The study is published in the journal Frontiers in Marine Science. Fossils tell us what dinosaurs were. How do we know what they did? Dinosaur bones can tell amazing stories about these prehistoric beasts, but how do we piece together how they behaved? A new book dives into the many lines of evidence that can shed light on the behaviour of these extinct creatures. From fossils, to tracks they left behind, to their modern day descendents, paleontologist David Hone from Queen Mary University of London explores how scientists develop robust theories about how dinosaurs lived in his new book, Uncovering Dinosaur Behavior: What They Did and How We Know.

Fossils take millions of years to form . . . or do they? For decades, evolutionists have claimed that fossilization requires vast amounts of time, but what if that's just not true? What if the global Flood described in Genesis created the fossils we see today not because of TIME, but because the global Flood created the right conditions? On this episode of the Creation Today Show, Eric Hovind sits down with Gordon Craig, who has developed an experimental fossilization process that simulates the extreme pressure and heat found deep beneath the Earth. By replicating these catastrophic conditions, he has been able to rapidly create fossils in the lab—no millions of years needed! Could this be the nail in the coffin for evolutionary timelines? Does this groundbreaking experiment confirm the biblical Flood model? Join us for a mind-blowing look at the truth behind fossilization and why it matters for the origins debate!

In part 5 of our guide to Palitoy Pete, Dan, Jon and Dave are back for more Palitoy talk, and take a deep dive into some Palitoy related collecting mysteries and scandals. We kick things off digging into the Palitoy Landfill; could there really be buried vintage Star Wars treasure somewhere in Leicestershire? Or is all just a collector's pipe dream? Then Lee Bullock drops in to lay some science on us as we discuss the  legendary, yet still controversial Grey Limbed Hoth Stormtrooper. We then cap things off with an epic discussion on Toy Toni. Almost 12 years on from the scandal first breaking, we take a look back at the reaction then, and how community view Toy Toni's today. Have the wounds healed? who was to Toni? And just where are the rest of those card-backs? We can't promised all the answers, but we can promise a lively and insightful discussion.

Medical doctor, outdoor enthusiast, and leading ichnologist Dr. Charles Helm joins John Maytham for a conversation about his team’s latest discovery. Dr. Helm and his colleagues have documented more than 370 vertebrate tracksites along South Africa’s southern coast, but these newly uncovered dinosaur footprints are particularly remarkable for their age and the unique geological context in which they were foundSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Today on the show, we'll explore the first fossil finds from Miguasha Provincial Park, a protected area near Carleton-sur-Mer on the Gaspé Peninsula of Quebec in Canada, from the mid-1800s. Miguasha is known for its exceptional preservation of Late Devonian (370 million years ago) fossil fish, including lobe-finned fish that played a crucial role in the transition of vertebrates from water to land. The park's cliffs contain fossils of various fish groups, including Agnathans (jawless fishes), Placoderms (heavily armored fish), Acanthodians (spiny fish), and Sarcopterygians (fleshy-finned fish with lungs), as well as invertebrates like crustaceans, worms, and Eurypterids (giant cousins of land scorpions). Two well-known sarcopterygians found at Miguasha are Eusthenopteron foordi and Elpistostege watsoni, which are important for understanding the transition of vertebrates from water to land. If you would like to read more about the find, head on over to www.fossilhuntress.com and click on the ARCHEA Blog for more details, photos and insights on the yummy fossil finds from the area.

Welcome to the Fossil Huntress Podcast, the podcast where we dig into the past—literally! Join in the exploration of the fascinating science of palaeontology — that lens that examines ancient animals, plants & ecosystems from wee single-celled organisms to big & mighty dinosaurs.​Learn about the interwoven disciplines of natural history, ecology, geology, conservation & stewardship of our world. Today, we're talking about paleontology—what it is, what paleontologists actually do, and what exactly counts as a fossil. So grab your metaphorical shovel, and let's get digging.I'm your host, Heidi Henderson, and today we're going to crack open a topic that's millions of years in the making. So first off, what is paleontology? It's a big word, but let's break it down.“Paleo” means “ancient,” and “-ology” means “the study of.” So paleontology is the study of ancient life. That means anything that lived on Earth long before humans showed up—from tiny trilobites to towering T. rexes.But paleontology isn't just about dinosaurs. It includes ancient plants, sea creatures, insects, and even microscopic organisms. If it lived a really, really long time ago and left behind a trace, paleontologists want to know about it.So how do we study life that's been gone for millions of years?That's where fossils come in.A fossil is the preserved remains or traces of a once-living organism. That could be bones, teeth, shells—or even footprints, burrows, or plant imprints. Some fossils are what you'd expect: hard bones turned to stone. But others can be things like petrified wood, fossilized poop—yes, that's a thing and it's called coprolite—or impressions of leaves.Fossils form over really long periods of time. Usually, the process starts when an animal or plant gets buried quickly under sediment—like mud or sand. Over time, more layers build up, pressure increases, minerals seep in, and eventually, the organic stuff gets replaced or preserved. Fast-forward a few million years and boom—you've got a fossil.If you would like to learn more about different types of fossils or head out virtually on some fossil adventures, head on over to Fossil Huntress HQ at www.fossilhuntress.com.

In this episode of the Starting Point podcast, Jay and Dr. Carl Werner delve into the controversial topic of human evolution, focusing on the widespread fraud that has been uncovered in the field. Dr. Werner presents evidence of misrepresentation and fraud surrounding key figures and fossils, including Lucy and Homo habilis, ultimately arguing that the theory of evolution has collapsed due to these revelations. The discussion emphasizes the importance of educating the next generation on these issues to prevent the loss of faith and understanding in scientific discourse.

SpaceTime Series 28 Episode 29The Astronomy, Space and Science News PodcastExploring Callisto's Ocean Potential, Laser Fossil Detection on Mars, and ISS Cleanliness ConcernsIn this episode of SpaceTime, we dive into exciting new research suggesting that Jupiter's moon Callisto may harbor a subsurface ocean, potentially making it another ocean world in our solar system. This revelation builds on data from NASA's Galileo spacecraft, which hinted at the presence of a salty liquid water ocean beneath Callisto's icy crust. Advanced modeling techniques have strengthened these claims, setting the stage for further exploration by NASA's Europa Clipper and ESA's Juice missions.Lasers on Mars: Searching for Ancient LifeWe also discuss innovative research that proposes using lasers to identify ancient microbial fossils on Mars. Scientists have successfully detected microbial fossils in gypsum on Earth, raising hopes that similar techniques could uncover evidence of past life on the Red Planet. The findings suggest that gypsum deposits on Mars could conceal traces of ancient life, preserved in mineral formations that formed when water evaporated billions of years ago.Health Implications of Sterility on the ISSAdditionally, we explore a new study indicating that the overly sterile environment of the International Space Station may be negatively impacting astronaut health. The research suggests that introducing a diverse range of microbes could potentially alleviate immune dysfunction and other health issues experienced by crew members during long missions in space.00:00 Space Time Series 28 Episode 29 for broadcast on 7 March 202500:49 New findings on Callisto's potential subsurface ocean06:30 Implications for future missions to Jupiter's moons12:15 Using lasers to detect ancient life on Mars18:00 Analysis of gypsum deposits and their significance22:45 Concerns regarding ISS cleanliness and astronaut health27:00 Overview of March's night sky and celestial events30:15 Celebrating PI Day and its significance in astronomywww.spacetimewithstuartgary.comwww.bitesz.com

Welcome to the fourth instalment of our series of Those Old Fossils Specials- Generation Skywalker's Guide to Palitoy, in which we celebrate Palitoy and the Star Wars products they released between 1978 and 1985. In this, the first of 2 new instalments of the Palitoy guide we move beyond 1985 to discuss the evolution of Palitoy collecting in the U.K. From  humble beginnings in the early 1990's through to the current day, we discuss the events, the individuals, as well as the advancements in technology over the last 40 years that have led us to the hobby we  know and love today. Join Dan, Pete, Jon and Dave as we take another trip down memory lane and talk old school toy shows, the rise and fall of the forums, the publications we read, as well as the establishments collectors  frequented over the years to get their Palitoy fix. We try to nail down when collectors started to document available card-backs and the range of Star Wars product Palitoy produced. Dave shares what it was like organising the Palitoy Archive exhibition at Celebration Europe in 2007 and the impact it had on Palitoy collecting at the time. And we round the conversation out by talking the current state of Palitoy collecting.

Polystrate fossils—fossils that cut through multiple rock layers—challenge long-held geological assumptions about slow, gradual deposition. These fossils force secular geologists to acknowledge that many layers must have formed rapidly, yet mainstream science avoids naming them, dismissing “polystrate fossils” as a creationist term. Why is there no alternative secular term? Could these fossils be evidence for a global catastrophe rather than countless local floods? The case of Joggins, Nova Scotia, provides striking examples: upright fossilized trees, missing soil layers, and even inverted stumps—all difficult to reconcile with deep-time explanations. Instead of admitting to a single cataclysmic event, long-age geologists invoke multiple smaller catastrophes, contradicting their own gradualist framework. Paul Price explores how these fossils expose inconsistencies in secular interpretations and bolster the case for a worldwide flood.

Since the early 19th century, discoveries of fossilized bones have fascinated scientists. From Mary and Joseph Anning's 1810 discovery of the bones of a marine reptile in Lyme Regis, England, to the discovery of the mysterious and ferocious dinosaurs in 1820, these forgotten giants, buried beneath layers of rock and earth, have opened our eyes to creatures beyond our wildest imaginings. But long before the discovery of these bones, the Bible offered us glimpses of strange creatures that had frolicked in the sea and sailed through the air. The mighty leviathan, who is described as a great marine beast writhing through the ocean, and the strange and fearsome winged serpents who floated through the arid desert air populate the pages of the Scriptures, telling us that perhaps these creatures were brought to life by the hand of a loving creator. In this program we'll take a look at some of these amazing creatures: who they were, where they lived and what their origins were. Join us as we take a fascinating look at these giant marine reptiles, flying creatures and dinosaurs in this week's episode of The Incredible Journey.

Scientists determined that Lucy, a human ancestor from 3.2 million years ago, couldn't have beaten modern humans in a foot race. Also, the Chinese AI company DeepSeek startled industry observers with an efficient new system. But how does it compare with the leading tech?How Lucy, Our Famous Ancestor, Runs On A Virtual TreadmillLucy is one of the most famous fossils—an Australopithecus afarensis who lived about 3.2 million years ago. Her skeleton is about 40% complete, and has been studied since its discovery in 1974. In a quest to learn more about what Lucy's life may have looked like, scientists estimated what her leg and pelvic muscles were like based on her skeleton. They then put her on a treadmill—virtually, of course.The findings? Lucy was likely not a natural runner, and the modern human body evolved for improved running performance. Host Flora Lichtman talks to Producer Kathleen Davis about these findings, and other news of the week.Flora also speaks to Anil Oza, a Sharon Begley Science Reporting Fellow at STAT and MIT, about the latest news on the Trump administration taking down scientific data from the Centers for Disease Control website for mentioning topics like gender, DEI and accessibility. They also discuss the National Institutes of Health resuming grant reviews after two weeks of restrictions imposed by the president.How DeepSeek's AI Compares To Established ModelsThe Chinese company DeepSeek recently startled AI industry observers with its DeepSeek-R1 artificial intelligence model, which performed as well or better than leading systems at a lower cost. The DeepSeek product apparently requires less human input to train, and less energy in parts of its processing—though experts said it remained to be seen if the new model would actually consume less energy overall.Will Douglas Heaven, senior editor for AI at MIT Technology Review, joins Host Ira Flatow to explain the ins and outs of the new DeepSeek systems, how they compare to existing AI products, and what might lie ahead in the field of artificial intelligence.Transcripts for each segment will be available after the show airs on sciencefriday.com.

Evolutionary teaching has indoctrinated us to think it takes millions of years to make a fossil—but it doesn't! It just takes the right conditions.

We were shocked and grieved to learn of the death of our friend and colleague Günter Bechly this week. Gunter was a world-class paleontologist and an inspiration to many for his learned insight into the fossil record and his brave rejection of Darwinian dogma. Over the next two Fridays, we're sharing a two-part interview originally recorded in 2018 with host Sarah Chaffee. In this exchange, Gunter spotlights some problems the fossil record poses for Darwinism and, specifically, the theory's idea of universal common ancestry. Bechly was a proponent of Darwinism until he discovered, well into his career, what he sees as significant scientific reasons to doubt the evolutionary story. This is Part 1 of a two-part conversation. Source
