Mr Ofori-Atta's guest on this month's podcast is Fred Pearce, the co-founder of the LGBTQ+ Society of Herne bay in Kent. He is an activist for LGBTQ+ rights and also works as a counter assistant in a community pharmacy. Among other issues, Mr Pearce explains the negative effect that misgendering a patient by continuously referring to them as a gender their identity does not align with can have on their mental health and their sense of identity. It is important for pharmacy staff to ensure they arm themselves with as much information as they can in order to provide the best possible care, Mr Pearce says. But his main take away is to always ask patients about their pronouns or other preferences when you are in doubt. Useful information to signpost patients to can be found via organisations such as Stonewall and Transunite. [insert podcast] Listen to the podcast in full to find out more about: • The impact of misgendering on trans patients • The need for education of healthcare professional on trans issues • The role community pharmacy can play in helping trans patients • How pharmacists can help inform and advise the LGBTQ+ community

The first major deal of the COP26 climate summit was a pledge to end and reverse deforestation by 2030. Kathryn speaks with highly acclaimed and award-winning British science journalist Fred Pearce, who has written about environmental issues and climate change for 40 years; not least about how forests have been cut and burnt at a rate many are approaching a tipping point, where they can no longer thrive, also threatening their ability to moderate global warming. But Fred Pearce is an optimist. His book A Trillion Trees - How We Can Reforest Our World offers hope. If we had a trillion more trees, he says, the damage could be undone. Fred Pearce writes the two things essential to restoring the worlds' forests is ensuring ownership is vested in the people who live in them, and giving nature room to grow. Fred Pearce has been New Scientist's environmental consultant since 1992, and contributes to the Guardian and the Washington Post.

Award-winning environmental journalist Fred Pearce discusses his book, The New Wild, and the positive role he believes that invasive species can play in our changing ecosystems

Mancher mag sich fragen, was uns das Thema in Deutschland eigentlich noch angeht. Immerhin haben wir beschlossen, aus der Atomenergie auszusteigen und auch die ersten Reaktoren stillgelegt. Und in zwei Jahren werden auch die letzten abgeschaltet. Problem gelöst, Gefahr beseitigt. Leider ist das aber nur die halbe Wahrheit, wie das Buch des englischen Wissenschaftsjournalisten Fred Pearce zeigt. Rezension von Johannes Kaiser. Kunstmann Verlag München ISBN 978-3-95614-359-5 342 Seiten 25 Euro

Legacy of Secrecy Nuclear technology has a long history of secrecy, cover-up, and deceit from military officials and government leaders, starting with the creation of nuclear weapons. Secrecy has hampered scientists in conducting rigorous research and data collection. They are often faced with studying the effects of radiation after an accident, which means they lack baseline data for comparison. This is most notable in Chernobyl, where the surrounding exclusion zone is now teeming with wildlife. Scientists disagree whether the detected DNA changes in the animals are due to radiation or to natural evolution, and how harmful it is. A combination of disinformation, a lack of understanding, and fundamental disagreements about the danger posed by radiation feeds public skepticism of nuclear technology. Dangerous Waste Nuclear technology's longest-lasting legacy is radioactive waste. It produces plutonium, a highly radioactive isotope that takes thousands of years to decay. The Stockholm International Peace Research Institute estimates that the world currently has about 550 tons of plutonium. Most of the waste sits in silos designed for temporary storage, which is expensive. We still need to find a way to treat, move, and bury it in a permanent storage space that is deep underground. The immense cost of waste management is one of the main reasons that nuclear reactors are being decommissioned. After deciding to abandon nuclear power, Germany is now struggling with its waste. Some of it is stored in salt mines that are not secure enough in the long term, and some is in the UK for treatment. It’s unclear if Germany will take back the nuclear waste that is overseas. How the world will eventually safely maintain nuclear waste is an open question. Nuclear Disarmament The heart of Pearce’s opposition to nuclear energy is the danger of nuclear proliferation. The creation of nuclear weapons is a Faustian pact that poses a vast and unnecessary risk to the world. The hydrogen bombs that were developed after WWII would kill millions of people instantly, which are now in silos all over the world, ready to be deployed. He argues that nuclear weapons are not a security measure, but instead create global insecurity. Every year they lie dormant, the chances they fall into the wrong hands increases. Nuclear weapons disarmament needs to be our highest priority, and should be achievable in the next 30 – 40 years. The only way to do so is by eliminating atomic technology, which also means eliminating nuclear power. Find out more: Fred Pearce is a freelance author and journalist based in London.

Are non-native species all that bad, or are we just prejudiced against “the Other”? In the San Francisco Bay Area, one particular foreign species has been dividing environmentalists for years: the blue gum eucalyptus. Eucalyptus opponents say it’s a serious fire hazard. Defenders say there’s no good evidence it’s worse than native plants. Which is it? And is the fight against non-native species grounded in science or xenophobia? In this episode of Undiscovered, Annie and Elah investigate.    GUESTS  Fred Pearce, environmental journalist and author of The New Wild Norman La Force, Sierra Club, San Francisco Bay Chapter Dan Grassetti, Hills Conservation Network Sara Kuebbing, Assistant Professor of invasion ecology at the University of Pittsburgh   FOOTNOTES Read about the Bay Area’s eucalyptus debate. Watch the debate between Norman and Dan in full, courtesy of Ray Madrigal. Browse this website by a pro-eucalyptus activist and this page from the San Francisco Sierra Club, which wants to remove eucalyptus trees in some areas. Invasion biologists defend their field and dispute allegations of xenophobia. Sara Kuebbing has also found that land managers aren’t arbitrarily eradicating non-native species, but selectively removing ones they deem harmful. Mark Davis, a biologist who’s critical of invasion biology, covers some of the field’s history in his book, Invasion Biology. Still want more? Check out these think pieces defending non-native species, including Michael Pollan’s article and Stephen Jay Gould’s essay. And for a completely different perspective, check out these sources on the impacts of non-native species, including an early study that attempted a rough calculation of their global economic cost.   CREDITS Undiscovered is reported and produced by Elah Feder and Annie Minoff. Our senior editor is Christopher Intagliata, our composer is Daniel Peterschmidt, and our intern is Kaitlyn Schwalje. We had fact checking help for this episode from Michelle Harris. I Am Robot And Proud wrote our theme.

One-third of the earth's surface is classified as desert. The writer William Atkins has travelled to eight of the world's hottest, driest places. He tells Andrew Marr about these forbidding, inhuman landscapes. The Arabian Desert lies mostly in Saudi Arabia but crosses borders from Egypt to Qatar, UAE to Oman. The economic analyst Jane Kinninmont looks at how this shared landscape affects regional politics and culture. In the 1950s deserts were the preferred places for Britain and America to test their nuclear bombs in secret. The science journalist Fred Pearce explores the human ingenuity - and human error - that has fuelled the atomic age. Producer: Katy Hickman.

Guest Fred Pearce speaks with Diane Horn about his book “The New Wild: Why Invasive Species Will be Nature's Salvation”.

We look at intruders of our inner and outer environment with Fred Pearce and Alanna Collen

Invasive alien species from the cursed Signal Crayfish to the scourge of gardeners, the Japanese Knotweed, are considered some of the biggest threats to biodiversity. This year the EU has launched new legislation that attempts to limit their spread. But how big a threat are they to ecosystems? Science writer Fred Pearce author of The New Wild argues that ecologists are committed to protecting pristine environments from alien invaders, when we should be embracing the changing ecology that invasive species enable. Adam Rutherford discusses the conflicting approaches to invasive species with Fred Pearce and Dr Helen Roy - a scientist at the Centre for Ecology and Hydrology. Corals make up only 0.1% of the ocean floors, but account for up to a quarter of all marine life. A new exhibition at The Natural History Museum is showcasing some of the work of the Catlin Seaview Survey, which is compiling a huge pictorial health check of various reefs to act as a snapshot against which all future reef changes can be compared. We hear from Dr Ken Johnson, the Museum's main coral researcher, and Professor Ove Hoegh-Guldberg, - Chief Scientist for the Catlin Seaview Survey. There's a big gap in understanding the evolution of our brains. But experts, from geologists to computer scientists by way of marine biologists have recently been meeting at the Royal Society, for a symposium entitled 'Origin and Evolution of the Nervous System' to assess what evidence there is. Roland Pease reports. And we explore a new advance in virtual reality. Anil Seth, professor of Consciousness Studies at the Sackler Centre at Sussex University has been experimenting with our sense of self, and our experience of the world, by using a hi tech headset combined with 360 degree cameras to transport your whole experience to a different space. Virtual reality becomes "substitutional" reality'. Producer Adrian Washbourne.

"Are there too many people on earth for wildlife to thrive?" This is the question we will be asking in a special edition of Shared Planet recorded with a live audience in the Great Hall of the University of Bristol. Together with questions asked by Shared Planet listeners and members of the public in the Great Hall, Monty hosts guests Fred Pearce, an environment writer and author of The Last Generation: How nature will take her revenge for climate change and Kieran Suckling, Executive Director of the Center for Biological Diversity. And of course Shared Planet correspondent Kelvin Boot will make an appearance.
