In this episode of the "How to Protect the Ocean" podcast, host Andrew Luan discusses the fascinating connection between giant clams and the efficiency of solar panels. He highlights the vibrant colors of giant clams, which are not only visually stunning but also play a crucial role in coral reef ecosystems, particularly in the Southeast Pacific. The key focus is on the algae, specifically zooxanthellae, that live within the soft tissue of giant clams. These algae absorb sunlight and are essential for the clams' survival, as they facilitate photosynthesis and contribute to the clam's calcium shell formation. Remarkably, giant clams can absorb about 95% of the light that hits them, significantly outperforming current solar panel technology, which has an efficiency of around 67%. Luan emphasizes the potential for replicating the light-absorbing mechanisms of giant clams in solar panel design. By studying the arrangement of the algae within the clams, scientists could potentially enhance solar panel efficiency, making them more effective in harnessing solar energy. This innovation could be pivotal in addressing global energy needs and reducing reliance on fossil fuels. The episode underscores the importance of protecting biodiversity, as the loss of species like giant clams could mean missing out on valuable insights and advancements in renewable energy technology. Luan encourages listeners to appreciate the interconnectedness of marine life and its potential benefits for humanity, particularly in the context of sustainable energy solutions.

It's a new month- and that means a new theme! This month we're chatting about the animals that live in our favrite seashells. In today's episode Chelsea teaches us all about the giant clam- a species that can get up to four feet long! --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/savethemermaids/support

The iconic true giant clam can grow to a metre long, weigh 250 kilograms and live up to 100 years. However, despite its robust appearance these magnificent creatures are facing increasing threats.

If there ever was an episode not to let your kids listen to; this would be it. Although the comparison of animals to human genitalia will make that child inside you smile keep your kids away as you educate yourself. In this Weird Animal Facts episode we learn that there is an amphibian that looks like a dong and is commonly called and known as "penis snake" (fun drinking game; take a shot every time you hear the word penis). Also learn that more needs to be learned about this man-aconda of the murky South American waters; but what we do know: no lungs, eyes or limbs...what even is a penis snake?And with every ding-dong you need a woo-ha; the clam! We love to eat them...well some people like to eat clams... With so many clams in the world you'll wish we had more as they not only make our waters cleaner but they also help to protect the wonderful coral reefs! Thank you clams (Especially the GIANT CLAM!).

In this episode, we are joined by Dr. Dan Killam. Dan is a post- doctoral researcher in the Coral Reef Laboratory here at Biosphere 2. Dan's central research focus is the study of giant clams. His research involves growing giant clams to understand how they embed signatures in their shells that relate to the activity of symbiotic algae in the clams bodies. Prior to Biosphere 2, Dan was a Zuckerman Postdoctoral Fellow at the University of Haifa in Israel, where he studied the effects of climate change on bittersweet clams found on the Israeli coast. Dan completed his PhD in Paleobiology at UC Santa Cruz where he studied the ecological and physiological history of bivalves.   In this episode, Dan takes us deep into world of Giant Clam research-- revealing a wide array of fascinating facts about these overshadowed bivalves found within Coral Reefs. Further, Dan tells us why the Biosphere 2 Ocean is a great place to study clams, he explains his past research studying Clams in the Red Sea, and he guides us through the life history and symbiosis of Giant Clams.   https://dantheclamman.blog/

In the first podcast of 2018, Phil and Paul turn their attentions to the written word with the Target novelisation of Genesis of the Daleks by Terrance Dicks. In this classic story of the Daleks creation, the lads find much to enjoy but does the fact the TV story is so iconic, it ruins this book? While the pair of them to try to wrestle with this weighty topic, Paul takes it upon himself to ruin this classic story for everyone! And in the news this week, a few morsels of information for series 11, a narrowly avoided legal dispute involving the name Lethbridge-Stewart, we say goodbye to David Fisher and Bella Emberg and to round things off, an unwelcome trip to Omega's Stats Corner!

Since its formation at 2016's Building the New Economy conference, put on by AELA and the UNSW law school, the New Economy Network Australia (NENA) has been building itself. The first New Economy Network Australia conference was held from 1st - 3rd September 2017 in Brisbane. Behind the Lines Radio, broadcasting through Community Radio 2XXFM in Canberra, frantically ran around for 3 days trying to capture as much of it as possible.

Thomas Hansen is setting up a First Nations led aquaculture enterprise on Palm Island, near Townsville. Palm Island was used to house many of the local aboriginal tribes when they were forced off their lands by the English. Employment is hard to come by on the island now, this project will help boost the fortunes of the Island. The remarkable Giant Clam is at the centre of the enterprise.

This episode took me forever to get together, but it's finally here!  My cousin Ross and I went camping for New Year's and I interviewed him while we chilled next to the bonfire.  Nothing but the freshest stories on this episode.  Bill and I couldn't stop laughing!

On this episode of The Web of Queer, we review the second episode of Series 9, The Witch's Familiar, and the Classic Fourth Doctor story, Genesis of the Daleks! In our review of The Witch's Familiar, we discuss our continued love of the Missy and Clara combo. Were any of us pulled into believing in the softer side of Davros, or did we see the turn coming? And now that the sonic screwdriver is apparently gone, what do we think of its replacement? In our Genesis of the Daleks review, our newer viewers finally meet Harry, but what did they think of him? They also met the Giant Clam, and have opinions about that too. We talk about Sarah Jane taking charge, how Davros has everyone fooled, and about the other genocides that the Doctor has been involved in. How might this story have an effect on his decisions in those? Timestamps:00:00 Intro00:43 The Witch's Familiar review30:27 Genesis of the Daleks review We love feedback!

This is the first ep in a Verity! miniseries in which we each select a story that displays a compelling Doctor-companion relationship. Join Deb, Erika, Liz, and Tansy as we cover Erika's pick, "The Power of Three". The Ponds' penultimate story is rife with companion-based themes--to the detriment of what little plot there is. How do you feel about the interactions between the Doctor, Amy, and Rory in "The Power of Three"? Does it give you enough to chew on so that you can ignore the weak story? (Or do you disagree and think the story is amazing?) Let us know in the comments! ^E Also covered [links on our site]: Tansy enjoys all the great material that came out of SDCC, including Jenna Coleman on a panel about Women Who Kick Ass! Erika guests on A Madman with a Box (a long time ago)! Liz wishes this Attack of the Giant Clam trailer was for a real movie! Deb thanks everyone who helped us hit both our Patreon commentary goals (voting open until 8/12/15)! looks forward to convention season, especially LI Who!   Bonus links [also on our site]:Chicks Unravel TimeDeleted Scene ‘P.S.': What Happened To Amy & Rory?

The bulk of this week's episode is devoted to "Chicks Unravel Time," edited by Deb Stanish and L.M. Myles, a follow-up by Mad Norwegian Press to the widely praised "Chicks Dig Time Lords." In this book, each writer tackled a different season of Classic Who, with sometimes surprising results! The editors of this weighty tome told Warren and Steven about the creation of the book, the wide range of voices in the book (from pros to first-time writers) and the big difference that a female perspective can have on interpretation of our favorite television program.   Oh yes, and some stats were mulled over at some point in the news segment. Last stats until Christmas, thank Omega!  Check out the show notes at http://www.radiofreeskaro.com
