Modern life can be isolating. We're wrapped up in our social media feeds, rushing to log into the next Zoom meeting, hurtling down the road in our metal capsules, or holed up in our houses. Being cut off from the natural world often leaves us feeling disconnected from ourselves and others. Enter this week's guest on Before IT Happened, Joe Patitucci, who's spent the last decade developing devices that connect us to nature by converting the biorhythms of plants into real-time music, or what he calls, “a sonic window into the secret life of plants.” Tune in now to hear how it all came together for Joe, from growing up in a family of piano teachers and electrical engineers to starting a music label and ultimately creating plant music for audiences all over the world. Before any world-changing innovation, there was a moment, an event, a realization that sparked the idea before it happened. This is a podcast about that moment — about that idea. Before IT Happened takes you on a journey with the innovators who imagined — and are still imagining — our future. Join host Donna Loughlin as her guests tell their stories of how they brought their visions to life.  JUMP STRAIGHT INTO: (01:57) - Joe on growing up outside of NYC - “I had this really cool interaction between living in nature and then being kind of in the cultural mecca of New York and the East Village and music and jazz and all these things.” (11:14) - TEDx Philly - “I was invited to be music director for TEDx Philly. That actually was a huge watershed moment for me because that was the first time I worked with a really big team on something that was a passion project.” (13:21) - Data Garden and Joe's next set of milestones - “Records were starting to become cool again and everybody would always ask me like, ‘You should release a record.' And I would just think, ‘I don't feel like producing a piece of material plastic that could outlive me on this planet.'” (19:34) - From Data Garden to PlantWave - “What if we took the sensory input of a plant and used the wave form of a plant and actually translated that into pitch and then had that play instruments.” (27:53) - Turning plant biorhythms into music - “We're measuring how much connection there is between two points in the plant. That connection between those two points is varying over time based on the plant moving water around through its system as it is photosynthesizing.” (32:56) - The benefits of plant music - “What PlantWave does is it really helps to connect people more to a moment and helps people be more present. And that's associated in a lot of studies with things like stress reduction, just like better relating with people.” EPISODE RESOURCES:  Learn more about https://www.plantwave.com/ (PlantWave) and follow on https://www.instagram.com/plantwave/ (Instagram) Listen to a live stream of plant music at http://plants.fm (Plants.fm) Learn more about http://www.joepatitucci.net/ (Joe Patitucci) and follow him on https://www.instagram.com/natureofnow/ (Instagram), https://twitter.com/NatureOfNow?s=20&t=oIKnGBx_05dTN_h8pakxvA (Twitter) and https://open.spotify.com/artist/3vManxn7MKYk0zJKWgMy48?si=mfV2h14YSua2K_XQ04_9mQ (Spotify) Watch tutorials and more on how PlantWave works on their https://www.youtube.com/c/PlantWave (YouTube channel) Listen to https://open.spotify.com/album/14B4YTb4YhcrG4o654XwTo (plant music from Data Garden's 2012 exhibition at the Philadelphia Museum of Art) Watch a related Ted Talk by Greg Gage: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pvBlSFVmoaw (Electrical experiments with plants that count and communicate) Listen to Before IT Happened's: https://www.beforeithappened.com/podcast-episodes/solving-the-cheese-problem-with-change-foods-david-bucca-episode-42 (Solving the Cheese Problem with Change Foods' David Bucca) Thank you for listening!

Today’s workers use multiple devices while working, so your business is presented with unique security challenges that traditional firewalls can't adequately solve. Greg Gage, CEO and Founder of Zorus, speaks with Barb Paluszkiewicz of CDN Technologies about how to protect your employees and business whether they are in the building or not.  Remember it only takes a click to fall victim, to a phishing email, ransomware, or malware. Every day companies are making headlines about being victims of a cyber crime, or a security breach, and when your customers data gets stolen, your employees information gets released – they get mad and are not happy campers. This episode is perfect for you if you are wondering what your employees do between logging into their systems at the start of their work day and logging out at the end of the day. It doesn’t matter if they’re working from home or if they are on premise. Wherever they are. it's important to monitor, filter and secure web traffic because a good portion of what we do all day is internet based and hackers don’t hack systems, they hack people! 00:00 - 02:50 Barb's Intro 02:51 - 3:54The problem Zorus solves 03:55 - 07:24 DNS filter vs. Proxy filter 07:25 - 08:00How Achron works with other antivirus products 08:01 - 08:49 If you have Achron does that mean you don’t need a firewall? 08:50 - 09:52 What stops a user or hacker from bypassing achron and going to the internet direct?  09:53 - 13:35 - How does a customer know that their employee is being productive? 13:36 - 14:08 What’s next for Zorus? 14:09 - 15:54 The Zorus origin story 15:55 - 17:22 Lessons learned along the way 17:23 - 18:56 Barb’s extro

The neuro-revolution is coming. In this episode Jeremy sits down with Drs. Greg Gage and Etienne Serbe in Chicago from Backyard Brains. From an exciting challenge centered around the SfN conference to programs centered around designing new experiments, learn about how Backyard Brains is bringing new opportunities to learn about neuroscience to the next generation of scientists.

It was really fun to talk to Greg Gage during SfN in November 2017. During our interview, he demonstrated some of the new neural educational toys from Backyard Brains. We were able to read neural activity, send that neural activity into his arm, and finally send his into my arm. I didn't like the last one, it worked but it felt like electricity in my arm. Regardless, the work they are doing to teach children about neuroscience is great!

Neuroscientist Greg Gage takes sophisticated equipment used to study the brain out of graduate-level labs and brings them to middle- and high-school classrooms (and, sometimes, to the TED stage.) Prepare to be amazed as he hooks up the Mimosa pudica, a plant whose leaves close when touched, and the Venus flytrap to an EKG to show us how plants use electrical signals to convey information, prompt movement and even count. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

O neurocientista Greg Gage leva equipamentos sofisticados, usados para estudar o cérebro em laboratórios de universidades, para salas de aula do ensino fundamental e médio (e às vezes, para o palco do TED). Prepare-se para ficar maravilhado com a forma como ele conecta uma dormideira, uma planta cujas folhas murcham quando são tocadas, e uma Vênus papa-moscas em um ECG para nos mostrar como as plantas usam sinais elétricos para transmitir informações, ativar movimentos e até contar.

El neurocientífico Greg Gage toma equipos sofisticados para estudiar el cerebro en los laboratorios de posgrado, y los lleva a las aulas de secundaria (y, a veces, al escenario de TED). Prepárate para sorprenderte mientras conecta una Mimosa pudica (una planta cuyas hojas se cierran al tocarlas) y una Venus atrapamoscas a un electrocardiógrafo, para mostrarnos cómo las plantas usan señales eléctricas para transmitir información, provocar movimiento e incluso contar.

Greg Gage, neuroscientifique, prend l'équipement sophistiqué qui sert à étudier le cerveau dans son laboratoire universitaire pour l'amener dans les salles de classes de collèges et lycées ( et de temps en temps sur l'estrade du TED ). Préparez-vous pour quelque-chose d'incroyable : il connecte un Mimosa pudica, une plante dont les feuilles se referment quand on la touche, et une dionée attrape-mouche, à un ECG, pour nous montrer comment les plantes utilisent des signaux électriques pour transmettre des informations, provoquer du mouvement et même compter.
