Ed Yong's bestselling first book, "I Contain Multitudes," prompted us to look at ourselves and the microbes we contain as the interconnected, interdependent systems that we are. And his follow-up, "An Immense World," was named one of the best books of the year by numerous publications while opening our eyes to the glorious world right before us. Yong visited SAL virtually in 2022, when microbes were in the news every day and the onslaught of new information overwhelmed, and his talk on the nature of journalism did a world of good.

Part 1 An Immense World by Ed Yong Summary"An Immense World: How Animal Senses Reveal the Hidden Realms Around Us" by Ed Yong is a compelling exploration of the sensory experiences of various animals and how these experiences shape their perception of the world. The book delves into the extraordinary ways different species interact with their environments through their unique sensory capabilities, which often surpass human senses in remarkable ways. Key Themes and Highlights:Animal Senses: Yong discusses how animals perceive their surroundings through senses such as sight, sound, smell, touch, and even electric fields. He highlights the remarkable adaptations that allow creatures to thrive in diverse habitats.Comparative Perception: The book emphasizes the differences between human sensory perception and that of other animals. For example, echolocation in bats and dolphins, ultraviolet vision in bees, and the electric sensory systems in certain fish illustrate the breadth of sensory experiences in the animal kingdom.Hidden Worlds: Yong argues that much of the natural world remains hidden to humans, as we do not possess the sensory tools to fully understand the environments animals navigate. He invites readers to appreciate the complex interactions that take place in ecosystems, which are often imperceptible to us.Interconnectedness: The author connects sensory perception to the survival and evolutionary strategies of different species, showing how an animal's sensory adaptations inform its behavior, social structures, and survival methods.Stories from the Field: Throughout the book, Yong shares engaging anecdotes and stories from his own experiences and from the works of various scientists who study animal behavior and perception. These narratives enrich the scientific insights and engage the reader with vivid imagery and emotion. Conclusion:"An Immense World" ultimately invites readers to rethink their understanding of life on Earth by considering how much richer and varied the animal world is when viewed through the lens of different sensory perceptions. It encourages a deeper respect for all forms of life and emphasizes the importance of conservation as we become more aware of the intricate lives animals lead in their sensory-rich environments.Part 2 An Immense World AuthorEd Yong is an accomplished science journalist and author known for his work that explores complex scientific topics in an accessible way. His book "An Immense World: How Animal Senses Reveal the Hidden Truths of the Natural World" was released on July 12, 2022. The book delves into the ways various animals perceive the world around them, highlighting the diverse sensory experiences that exist beyond human perception.In addition to "An Immense World," Ed Yong has written another notable book titled "I Contain Multitudes: The Microbes Within Us and a Grander View of Life," published in 2016. This book discusses the role of microbes in our lives and their impact on our health and the environment.In terms of editions, "I Contain Multitudes" has been praised for its engaging writing style and informative content about microbiology, making it a standout book in Yong's bibliography. However, "An Immense World" has also received significant acclaim for its unique perspective on animal senses and has quickly gained recognition as one of his most impactful works.Yong's writing frequently appears in various prestigious publications such as The Atlantic, National Geographic, and other outlets where he covers the intersection of science and everyday life.Part 3 An Immense World ChaptersOverall Theme: An Immense World by Ed Yong explores the rich tapestry of sensory experiences across the animal kingdom, emphasizing the diverse ways in which different species perceive and interact with their environments. The overarching theme centers on...

A deadly secret lurks within our spice racks, medicine cabinets, backyard gardens, and private stashes. Scratch beneath the surface of a red pepper flake, a poppy seed, a magic mushroom cap, or an apple seed, and we find a bevy of strange chemicals. We use these to greet our days (caffeine), cure our infections (penicillin), calm our nerves (CBD), and even kill our enemies (cyanide). But why do plants and fungi produce such chemicals? And how did we come to use and abuse some of them? Based on cutting-edge research, MOST DELICIOUS POISON: The Story of Nature's Toxins—From Spices to Vices by Noah Whiteman (October 24, 2023; Hardcover) reveals the origins of toxins produced by plants, mushrooms, microbes, and even some animals, the mechanisms that animals evolved to overcome them, and how a co-evolutionary arms race made its way into the human experience, forever changing the trajectory of humanity. This perpetual chemical war not only drove the diversification of life on Earth but is also intimately tied to our own successes and failures as individuals and as a species. You will never look at a houseplant, mushroom, fruit, vegetable, or even human history, the same way again. Among other topics, the following surprising phenomena are discussed:  • Pain – caused by toxins – activates a circuit deep in our brains, subsequently creating feelings of pleasure and generating a feedback loop associated with addiction. • Endorphins are opioids made in the brains of all animals, including our own. These opioids evolved to alleviate pain and are triggered by spices like black pepper and wasabi. • Many toxins mimic our own hormones and neurotransmitters. These include caffeine, cardiac glycosides, opioids, psilocybin, and THC, which bind to receptors needed to run our brains and hearts, twisting a molecular logic born into our animal ancestors 500 million years ago. • Nature's toxins did not evolve with us in mind at all – plants, fungi, and microbes compete to evolve the next best defense, which their animal enemies eventually overcome and may co-opt as weapons. As deadly fungi make national headlines, our current reality eerily resembles a sci-fi movie in which evolutionary biologists like Noah Whiteman are essential in demystifying the unknown and revealing the origins, mechanisms, and nature of toxins. Furthermore, the sensational reaction to The Last of Us and books like Entangled Life, I Contain Multitudes, and Wicked Plants demonstrate a strong curiosity and appetite for tales about hidden (and sometimes gruesome) aspects of the natural world, and how they shape the human condition. Previously featured in The New York Times, Nature, Science, Scientific American, and Popular Science, Noah Whiteman received a Guggenheim Fellowship in 2020 to write this book. In his own words, “In my mind, I am scientist, colleague, brother, son, uncle, husband, and friend first. But I am also a gay, first-generation college student with rural, rust-belt roots. To my knowledge, I was the first out LGBTQIA+ tenured faculty member in my department at the University of Arizona and the same is true now at the University of California, Berkeley, in Integrative Biology.” https://www.mostdeliciouspoison.com/

Ed Yong explores the hidden features that make dog noses so incredible. Many animals, from sharks to elephants, are champions of olfaction (smelling). Dogs are the most famous. Through their sense of smell, dogs can tell which direction a person traveled and even can distinguish between identical twins. Dogs can be trained to detect just about anything, including electronic devices. --------------------------------------------------------------------- About Ed Yong: Ed Yong is a Pulitzer Prize–winning science writer on the staff of The Atlantic, where he also won the George Polk Award for science reporting, among other honors.

Hi friends, we're on hiatus for the fall. To tide you over, we're putting up some favorite episodes from our archives. Enjoy! ---- [originally aired July 20, 2022] The world is bigger than you think. I don't mean geographically, though maybe that too. I mean in terms of its textures and sounds and smells; I mean in terms of its hues and vibrations. There are depths and layers to the world that we don't usually experience, that we might actually never be able to experience. Our senses just aren't wired to take it all in. We're simply not tuned to all the dimensions of reality's rich splendor. But there is a way we can appreciate these hidden dimensions: with a flex of the imagination, we can step into the worlds of other creatures; we can try out different eyes and noses; we can voyage into different perceptual universes. Or at least we can try.  My guest today is Ed Yong, author of the new book An Immense World: How Animal Senses Reveal the Hidden Realms Arounds Us. Ed is a science writer for The Atlantic and the author of an exceptional earlier book on the microbiome called I Contain Multitudes. This new book tours the wide diversity of animal senses. It asks what it's like to be a bat, sure, but also what it's like to be a star-nosed mole, a manatee, or a mantis shrimp. Informed by some truly extraordinary science, the book considers how it might feel to electrolocate around the ocean, to hear through the threads of a web, or to be tugged by the earth's magnetic field. There's a lot of praise I could lavish on this book, but I'll just say this: it really makes you feel more alive. Reading it makes everything, in fact, seem more alive. It makes the world seem richer, more vivid, somehow more technicolor and finely textured. It makes you realize that every organism, all the creatures we share this planet with, possesses a kind of vibrant genius all their own. After this episode we will be on a short holiday, and then we'll be gearing up for Season 4. If you have guests or topics you want us to cover, please send us a note. And, of course: if you've enjoyed the show so far, we would be most grateful if you would leave us a rating or a review. I know I say this all the time, and it's probably a bit annoying: but it really, truly helps, and I would personally, very much appreciate it! Alright friends, now to my conversation with Ed Yong.

Back when Robert was kid, he had a chance encounter with then President John F. Kennedy. The interaction began with a hello and ended with a handshake. And like many of us who have touched greatness, 14 year old Robert was left wondering if maybe some of Kennedy would stay with him. Back in 2017, when this episode first aired, Robert found himself still pondering that encounter and question. And so with the help of what was brand new science back then, and a helping hand from Neil Degrasse Tyson, he set out to satisfy this curiosity once and for all.EPISODE CREDITS:Produced by - Simon Adlerwith help from - Only Human: Amanda Aronczyk, Kenny Malone, Jillian Weinberger and Elaine Chen.

The book explores the symbiotic relationship between humans and microbes, shedding light on the importance of these tiny organisms in shaping our health, behavior, and evolution.Yong begins by highlighting the ubiquity of microbes all around us, emphasizing how they outnumber human cells in our bodies and play a vital role in our overall well-being. He then delves into various aspects of microbiology and the fascinating ways in which microbes interact with their environment.The book explains how microbes...

Today on Mushroom Hour we are joined by magnanimous mycological scholar Dr. Keith Seifert, adjunct professor in the biology department at Carleton University. Dr. Seifert has spent more than forty years studying fungi on five continents. At Agriculture and Agri-Food Canada, he did research on microscopic fungi from farms, forests, food and the built environment to reduce toxins and diseases affecting plants and animals. He was president of the International Mycological Association, an executive editor of Mycologia, and associate editor of several other scientific journals. Dr. Seifert is here to dive into his debut book The Hidden Kingdom of Fungi – Exploring the Microscopic World in Our Forests, Homes and Bodies. In this marvelous book, he invites us to see our world as one full of microbial ecological succession, symbiotic interactions with fungi and maybe an understanding that this epoch could truly be considered the mycocene.   TOPICS COVERED:   Descending into the Hidden Kingdom   Spectrum of Symbioses   The Lives of Endophytes    Holobionts   Fungi and Human Agriculture   Mycotoxins   Ancient History of Fungal Domestication – Beer, Bread & Cheese   Rot to Fermentation Continuum   Invasive Species, Biopiracy, Biocolonialism   Human Houses as Ecosystems   Mold Colonies in Our Homes   Dandruff, Candida & Fungi in the Human Microbiome   Amphibian Apocalypse   A World Powered by Fungi    EPISODE RESOURCES:   "The Hidden Kingdom of Fungi": https://bookshop.org/p/books/the-hidden-kingdom-of-fungi-exploring-the-microscopic-world-in-our-forests-homes-and-bodies-keith-seifert/17251543?ean=9781771646628   Keith Seifert iNaturalist: https://www.inaturalist.org/people/77976   Keith Seifert ResearchGate: https://www.researchgate.net/profile/Keith-Seifert-2   "I Contain Multitudes": https://edyong.me/i-contain-multitudes   Phytophthora infestans (Irish Potato Famine Pathogen): https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phytophthora_infestans   UG-99 Wheat Rust: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ug99   Escovopsis aspergilloides: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Escovopsis_aspergilloides   "When Darwin Comes to Town": https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/34930832-darwin-comes-to-town   "The Song of the Dodo": https://www.goodreads.com/review/show/12868099    

Our final TPWKY book club selection of the season will test the limits of your imagination by asking you to consider what it might be like to smell the world through the nose of a dog or to see flowers through the ultraviolet vision of a bee. It will make you ponder the tradeoffs inherent in sensory perception and what an animal's dominant senses can tell us about what is most important to their species. It will have you contemplating what the future holds for sensory research, both in terms of what new senses we might discover as well as the impacts of sensory pollution on an ecosystem. In short, it will change the way you perceive the world. Pulitzer Prize-winning science journalist Ed Yong joins us to chat about his incredible book, An Immense World: How Animal Senses Reveal the Hidden Realms Around Us. Yong, whose other book I Contain Multitudes is another TPWKY favorite, leads us on an expedition beyond the boundaries of human senses as we chat about what an octopus tastes, how the line between communication and perception is blurred in electric fish, the evolutionary arms race between bats and moths, and even the long-standing question of why zebras have stripes. Tune in for the riveting and magical conclusion to this season's miniseries.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Ed Yong PROBABLY needs no introduction--but just in case: he is a Pulitzer Prize–winning science writer on the staff of The Atlantic, where he also won the George Polk Award for science reporting, among other honors. His first book, I Contain Multitudes, was a New York Times bestseller. We are SO grateful to have him with us! In An Immense World, Ed Yong coaxes us beyond the confines of our own senses, allowing us to perceive the skeins of scent, waves of electromagnetism, and pulses of pressure that surround us. We encounter beetles that are drawn to fires, turtles that can track the Earth's magnetic fields, fish that fill rivers with electrical messages, and even humans who wield sonar like bats. We discover that a crocodile's scaly face is as sensitive as a lover's fingertips, that the eyes of a giant squid evolved to see sparkling whales, that plants thrum with the inaudible songs of courting bugs, and that even simple scallops have complex vision. We learn what bees see in flowers, what songbirds hear in their tunes, and what dogs smell on the street. We listen to stories of pivotal discoveries in the field, while looking ahead at the many mysteries that remain unsolved.

The world is bigger than you think. I don't mean geographically, though maybe that too. I mean in terms of its textures and sounds and smells; I mean in terms of its hues and vibrations. There are depths and layers to the world that we don't usually experience, that we might actually never be able to experience. Our senses just aren't wired to take it all in. We're simply not tuned to all the dimensions of reality's rich splendor. But there is a way we can appreciate these hidden dimensions: with a flex of the imagination, we can step into the worlds of other creatures; we can try out different eyes and noses; we can voyage into different perceptual universes. Or at least we can try.  My guest today is Ed Yong, author of the new book An Immense World: How Animal Senses Reveal the Hidden Realms Arounds Us. Ed is a science writer for The Atlantic and the author of an exceptional earlier book on the microbiome called I Contain Multitudes. This new book tours the wide diversity of animal senses. It asks what it's like to be a bat, sure, but also what it's like to be a star-nosed mole, a manatee, or a mantis shrimp. Informed by some truly extraordinary science, the book considers how it might feel to electrolocate around the ocean, to hear through the threads of a web, or to be tugged by the earth's magnetic field. There's a lot of praise I could lavish on this book, but I'll just say this: it really makes you feel more alive. Reading it makes everything, in fact, seem more alive. It makes the world seem richer, more vivid, somehow more technicolor and finely textured. It makes you realize that every organism, all the creatures we share this planet with, possesses a kind of vibrant genius all their own. After this episode we will be on a short holiday, and then we'll be gearing up for Season 4. If you have guests or topics you want us to cover, please send us a note. And, of course: if you've enjoyed the show so far, we would be most grateful if you would leave us a rating or a review. I know I say this all the time, and it's probably a bit annoying: but it really, truly helps, and I would personally, very much appreciate it! Alright friends, now to my conversation with Ed Yong. Enjoy!   A transcript of this episode will be available soon.   Notes and links 3:30 – One of our earlier audio essays—'Me, my umwelt, and I'—profiled von Uexküll and his concept of an Umwelt. 6:00 – The classic Nagel article ‘What is it like to be a bat?'; Mike Tomasello's recent variant, ‘What is it like to be a chimpanzee?', which we discussed just last episode. 10:00 – One of many articles by Ed about COVID-19. He was awarded a Pulitzer prize for his coverage of the pandemic. 14:30 – A popular article on proprioception. 19:00 – A research article on the evolution of opsin proteins. 20:00 – A primer on echolocation. 25:00 – A brief article on heat-sensitive pits in snakes. 26:30 – An academic article about the “star” of the star-nosed mole. A video showing the star-nosed mole in action. 31:00 – A popular article about the eyes of starfish. 32:00 – A collection of research articles about the Ampullae of Lorenzini. 35:00 – A very recent article about spider webs as “outsourced” hearing. 38:00 – A research article about aspects of bird song that humans can't hear. 40:00 – A study by Lucy Bates and colleagues about how elephants operate with a spatial model of where their kin are.

Ed Yong (An Immerse World, I Contain Multitudes) is a science journalist and Pulitzer Prize winner. Ed joins the Armchair Expert to discuss how he became a science writer, how his coverage of the pandemic was different than other reporting, and how biomimicry has advanced our technology. Ed and Dax talk about how some animals can sense magnetic fields, how evolution is about diversity not superiority, and how senses can often work together instead of being compartmentalized. Ed explains how we need imagination to understand how animals experience the world, what "party tricks" some animals can do, and how there is a whole other dimension of color in the natural world that humans can't see.

Today's episode is part business breakdown and part biology breakdown as we explore Finch Therapeutics and their novel work on the microbiome, which plays a crucial role in regulating our immune system.   To help break down these topics, I'm joined by Mark Smith, co-founder and CEO of Finch Therapeutics. Mark is a leader in the microbiome field and the perfect person to cross the bridge between business and science.   As Mark outlines, we've made a lot of progress in living longer, but we are yet to make significant steps to living better. In our discussion, we explore what the microbiome is, why it's so important, and the role that Finch plays in helping patients transform their lives. We then turn to the business side of developing therapeutics drugs and what Mark has learned there. Please enjoy this breakdown of Finch Therapeutics.   For the full show notes, transcript, and links to the best content to learn more, check out the episode page here.   -----   This episode is brought to you by Brex.

In this session we swerve from the text of William Blake's PROVERBS OF HELL to what news we may find of its shape in Bob Dylan's "I Contain Multitudes," the title and refrain of which is lifted from a line in Walt Whitman's "Song of Myself." We touch on these two guys, as well as Anne Frank, Emily Dickinson, Mr. Poe and Dr. Indiana Jones, as we seek to fathom as always the heart of the heart of the eternal dilemma.

This week's installment of HITB is a special treat for the holiday season from the HITB Podcast gang. Instead of the releasing next episode chronologically, we at the Bunker HQ wanted to celebrate not only the holiday season that is upon us but also celebrate the 100th episode of Hunkered In The Bunker by releasing this epic show that clocks in at OVER 7 HOURS! Due to the length, the episode will be broken into 3 parts that will all be released at the same time. There isn't much to say about this episode that doesn't get said during the show by Prof Bernsteinn himself. But to reiterate, this is a long one so do keep in mind that Deep Vein Thrombosis is a killer that counts 7 hours of being sedentary as an ally. So before you dig in to this one, maybe take a nap, drink some kombucha, stretch your hamstrings(you wouldn't want to cramp up during the show) and maybe even take a page out of John McClain's playbook(from Die Hard) take your shoes and socks off, find some carpet and make fists with your toes... So happy 100th, happy holidays and Stay Hunkered for the next 100 HITB's Here's part 1 Please help support all here at Hunkered In The Bunker: PayPal dbhq@danbern.com Venmo @Dan-Bern-1 Hunkered In The Bunker's 100th Show (pt 1) Originally Aired : 2020/11/27 1:08 PM PST All Songs Written By Dan Bern unless otherwise noted in italics L = w/Lulu R = Reading E = Electric RFB = radio feed from Radio Free Bernsteinn -------Tracklist-------- RFB ...I Contain Multitudes/tune up (Bob Dylan) Hunkered Theme Freight Train Blues (Bob Dylan) Don't Let Us Get Sick (John Prine) Jerusalem The Only Living Boy In New York (Simon & Garfunkle) Black Tornado R “Tropic of Capricorn” (Henry Miller) R Stage Direction For “After The Fall” (Arthur Miller) E Marilyn E Alright Kinda Girl Thanksgiving Day Parade I'm A Believer (The Monkees) Starting Over Josephine & Ernest Tiger Woods Luke The Drifter Redemption Song (Bob Marley) R “Bases To Bleachers” (Eric Gray) Ballpark Breathe R “Absolutely On Music” (Haruki Murakami, Seiji Ozawa) Peace Train (Cat Stevens) Vancouver (Andrew Calhoun) Bobby Fuller Great In-Between Hoody R “Reconsidering Nixon” (Bernsteinn) L Craft Time Hunkered In The Bunker is : Performed by Dan Bern Produced by Larry Transferred/Edited by Jeff Davis Brought to you by Eye Juice, Pine Cones, Radio Free Bernsteinn & the Combination Automatic Vegetable Slicer/ Mustache Comb https://www.danbern.com/ https://apps.apple.com/us/app/radio-free-bernsteinn/id1123684286?ls=1 https://danbern.bandcamp.com/ https://www.zazzle.com/store/danbernmerch/products https://twitter.com/danbernhq?lang=en Hosted by

Response to DSC: "Forget Me Not" On the most recent episode of Star Trek: Discovery, "Forget Me Not," the crew travels to the Trill homeworld to retrieve the memories of the Tal symbiont, which currently resides inside of Adira. Most of us may not be Trill, but we all have endosymbionts in our bodies nonetheless. These microorganisms help us digest our food, synthesize vitamins, and even affect our central nervous system. On this episode of Strange New Worlds, Mike discusses the human gut microbiome, as well as the microbiomes of a few other remarkable animals, before drawing a parallel to the symbiosis between the Sphere Data and the U.S.S.

Transcript: ‘Sing in me, Muse, and through me tell the story of that man skilled in all ways of contending, the wanderer, harried for years on end, after he plundered the stronghold on the proud height of Troy.’ [Homer, The Odyssey, trans. by Robert Fitzgerald (1961)] Almost 3000 years ago, in Ancient Greece, the blind bard Homer composed two epic poems that have influenced and impacted our culture to this very day. They have inspired countless artworks, throughout the centuries, including literary works, from Virgil, to James Joyce, to Margaret Atwood. Both of Homer’s epics, the Iliad and the Odyssey, begin with little prologues like the one we just heard the beginning of. In these invocations of the Muse, the poet himself asks the goddess of inspiration and the arts to help him relay the story he is about to tell.

Bob Dylan viser frem sitt frekke, kule og hatefulle JEG på sin nye plate. I låta «I Contain Multitudes” er han Anne Frank, Indiana Jones og Rolling Stones. Blant mye annet. En feiring av det mangfoldige mennesket - men fins det da ingen kjerne? Vi skreller Dylans låtløk med poet og psykolog Helge Torvund

From the first time she ever put a Kylie Minogue cassette in her pink Sony stereo, Australia native Emma Swift has been a music obsessive. Her songwriting prowess brought her to Nashville in 2013 and she recently dropped the terrific LP Blonde On The Tracks, an album of Bob Dylan covers ranging from 1965's "Queen Jane Approximately" all the way to this year's "I Contain Multitudes" (which Dylan released as a single only just a few months ago), backed up by partner Robyn Hitchcock and Wilco's Pat Sansone. On this episode, Emma talks about Gram Parsons being a sort of "gateway drug" to country music, splurging on 7" Smiths singles while in Japan and why her dad was "a record collector's worst nightmare." Follow her on socials @emmaswiftsings, and get Blonde On The Tracks digitally or on vinyl from emmaswift.bandcamp.com.

In our first international episode of the Kulturstammtisch, we discuss Bob Dylan's long-awaited and surprising new album «Rough and rowdy ways». An album full of allusions and references and name-dropping, which Eric Facon discusses with cultural historian Marcy Goldberg and the recording artist Hank Shizzoe.

This month, the Australian, Nashville-based singer-songwriter Emma Swift releases her album of Bob Dylan cover songs, Blonde On The Tracks.In our conversation, Emma tells me about the story behind the album, how she came up with the song selection, the advantages of singing Dylan as a woman, and the autobiographical dimension of cover songs.You can listen to and order your copy of Blonde On The Tracks on the Emma Swift bandcamp page, or from the record store of your choice.

Long time friend of the show and queen of the sadcore bangers Emma Swift returns to mark release day for new album ‘Blonde on the Tracks’, which features her beautiful interpretations of songs from across Bob Dylan’s vast songbook. We delve into how the project came to be, how each song was chosen, the different challenges in recording obscure and well known Dylan songs, why ‘I Contain Multitudes’ forced her to learn to record at home during lockdown so she could add it to the record, lyrical pronouns and subverting gender norms, how to cast songs for her voice, recording the album in the city where Dylan cut some of his own masterworks and much more. Songs discussed include Queen Jane Approximately, I Contain Multitudes, One Of Us Must Know (Sooner or Later), Simple Twist of Fate, Sad Eyed Lady of the Lowlands, The Man in Me, Going Going Gone, You’re A Big Girl Now

“Siéntelo con oído” es un magacín cultural que emitimos desde Zaragoza los jueves a las 7 de la tarde en Radio La Granja (102.1 FM, también por internet en radiolagranja.caster.fm) y los viernes a las 6 de la tarde por internet en teafm.net. Comenzamos con “I Contain Multitudes” , es la última entrega de Bob Dylan. Publicado hace ahora un mes. La canción es un segundo adelanto de su próximo álbum (“Rough and Rowdy Ways”. El título está sacado del poema "Song of Myself" de Walt Whitman. "…Hoy, mañana y ayer también, las flores están muriendo como le pasa a todas las cosas", nos canta Dylan… bueno, más que cantar, susurra o recita… En sus versos hace referencias a David Bowie, Anna Frank, William Blake, Indiana Jones, Beethoven, Chopin, Edgar Allan Poe y The Rolling Stones.., Es el Dylan poeta, como siempre misterioso, hermético, nos habla de sus inquietudes, sus contradicciones, sus gustos, sus temores, de múltiples aspectos de su vida como artista. De forma personalísima, con esta atmósfera íntima y delicada, claramente inspirada en Whitman. Se podría decir que Dylan está componiendo su propia elegía, como Whitman hizo en su gran libro “Hojas de Hierba”. Relato donde los poemas se van conectando entre sí, incluido el famoso poema ¡Oh, Capitán! ¡Mi Capitán!, la elegía al asesinado presidente Abraham Lincoln. Llevándolo a su tiempo, Dylan ya la habría compuesto con “Murder Most Foul”, dedicada al asesinato de John. F. Kennedy. Canción de casi 17’ , posiblemente grabada en la misma sesión que la que hemos escuchado, que publicó el pasado mes de marzo. En fin, yo creo que su próximo álbum: “Rough and Rowdy Ways” es un trabajo de mucho calado en el que Dylan se reinventa, una vez más y que desde luego no va a dejar indiferente a nadie.

Jack reviews the new Bob Dylan song, I Contain Multitudes, with Yair in tow. The song's literary influences are addressed, namely Walt Whitman's Song of Myself and Shelby Foote's The Civil War: A Narrative. After the Dylan talk, and a brief mention of how Bob figures in the GapeVerse, the notion that nothing on the internet is ever truly gone is debated for a few minutes. It's a short one, and a bit lo-fi, but a sweet one. Recorded as part of our April movie roundup.

On the 17 April, Bob Dylan released his second surprise song in one month, "I Contain Multitudes". Borrowing more than just the title from Walt Whitman's poem "Song of Myself", Bob Dylan paints a vivid modern portrait of a country divided. Laura takes a close look at the new song and asks the hard hitting questions: is “I Contain Multitudes” Bob Dylan’s own take on Song of Myself? Is this Dylan’s way of finally embracing the responsibility of being a thought leader and voice of his generation? Listen and find out more!

This episode features the new Dylan song, "I Contain Multitudes," including reflections on it and some of the songs referenced in it. Also, during "Who Did It Better?" we announce the winner of last week's poll and play the two versions of the new song of the week.

Bob Dylan released a new song during National Poetry Month called "I Contain Multitudes." People picked up on the William Blake and Edgar Allan Poe references, but too many missed the reference to America's first punk rock poet: Walt Whitman. Let me fix that with this performance of the last part of Whitman's "Song of Myself." For more about this and other combinations of various words with original music visit frankhudson.org

Hay que remontarse hasta "Tempest" (2012) para encontrar el último álbum de Dylan con temas inéditos. ”. El Cantante, compositor y poeta estadounidense. Premio Nobel de Literatura 2016 publicó el pasado 27 de marzo la monumental "Murder Most Foul", una canción inédita de casi 17 minutos de duración que repasaba gran parte de la historia de EE.UU. en el siglo XX, y hoy volvió a sorprender con su segundo tema nuevo en menos de un mes, la balada "I Contain Multitudes".

When their crops are plagued by caterpillars, farmers often turn to wasps for help. These wasps are hardened parasites: they lay their eggs inside the caterpillars, and once these eggs hatch the baby wasps eat the caterpillar from inside out. But the wasps themselves are parasitized by organisms that manipulate their host's reproduction! Is this Nature's way of enacting poetic justice in response to the wasps' cruelty? Join the conversation to find out! Speaking of poetry, Aditi, John, Julian, and Lev also discuss what they read for inspiration. For some, the amount of reading done for work pulls them away from reading for pleasure, but for others it brings out their appreciation of genres like science fiction. Listen in to hear more about the writing that inspires us. Find more examples of the wasps’ weird reproduction, called parthenogenesis, or virgin births, here: http://www.bbc.com/earth/story/20141219-spectacular-real-virgin-births Find the scientific paper demonstrating the link between bacterial infections and parthenogenesis in parasitic wasps here: https://www.pnas.org/content/pnas/87/7/2424.full.pdf You can also check out the books and show we mention: I Contain Multitudes by Ed Yong, Intuition by Allegra Goodman, Solaris by Stanisław Lem, and “Planet Earth” by BBC America.

00:00:00 - Thanks to Joe, it's the return of the Elon Musk Happy Hour! This time, Musk wants to send loads of people to Mars, probably forever. In traditional Science... sort of fashion we ask: is this a thing? And maybe more importantly, would you go? (Also, Ryan says go read Seveneves.) 00:31:03 - Mars is pretty dry, so it'll be important to stay hydrated once there. Kelly staves off feeling sick with water and Tums but manages to sneak in a plug for The Expanse series of books. Joe confuses everyone with his Fungal Fruit Soda. And Ryan has a beer called Bomb! because of integrity or something.   00:41:50 - This summer 183 miles of the Yellowstone River because an animal related to jellyfish evolved into a parasite millions of years ago. Kelly is amazed by this and explains why it's cool. And a final book recommendation for the episode: I Contain Multitudes by (future guest of the show?) Ed Yong 00:55:54 - PaleoPOWs are a lot like future guests of the show, both are riddled with uncertainty. Things begin a bit somber with the death of Sharon Gray, a botanist killed while doing research in Ethiopia. The reasons surrounding her death are heartbreaking, but a GoFundMe campaign has been set up to help young women succeed in science in her memory. As a complete about face, Joe thanks Angie RK for her recent iTunes review and Kelly thanks Simon L. for throwing some cash our way. Finally, Ryan expounds upon Colin from San Diego's theory about yawning and ends up doing a fair bit of research on the topic. Strap in.

We tend to describe our immune systems with military metaphors. Pathogens invade our bodies, knock down our defenses, and try to kill us dead. We fight back with hand sanitizer and mild germ-related panic. Or we go nuclear and blast them with antibiotics. Ed Yong [1]'s beautiful, smart, and sometimes shocking new book I Contain Multitudes [2]: The Microbes Within Us and a Grander View of Life will make you take a deep breath.

Today we travel to a future where your microbiome becomes a key part of your identity. From health to your child’s kindergarten, here are all the ways knowing about your microbiome might impact your life.     Let’s start with a definition: what is the microbiome? Simply put, the microbiome is the collection of microbes (mostly bacteria) that live in and on your body. It’s hard to say exactly how many microbes make up the human microbiome, but researchers estimate that somewhere between 500 and 1,000 different species of bacteria live in the human gut. And that’s just the gut, there are microbial communities in our mouths, on our skin, in the vagina, all over the place. To put things in another perspective, the average human body is made up of 30 trillion cells. And on top of those 30 trillion cells, the average human also carries around in and on it, 40 trillion bacteria. 40 Trillion!    To learn how those 40 trillion cells might be leveraged in the future, we talked to Ed Yong, the author of the upcoming book I Contain Multitudes; Rachel Feltman, a science blogger at the Washington Post; and Jessica Richman, the cofounder and CEO of uBiome, a personal microbiome company. The three of them walk us through the pros, cons and surprising ways the microbiome might be used in the future.    The microbiome is a really promising area of research because it seems to interact with so many elements of our health. People are studying links between the microbiome and everything from autism to heart disease to body odor to cancer. But the gap between what we know right now, and what we’d need to know to develop microbiome based treatments for most of these things, is huge.     Right now there are no drugs on the market that are based on the microbiome, and there’s really only one microbiome related medical application that reliably works. And that’s for patients with an infection called Clostridium difficile or c. diff who get a fecal transplant. The c. diff infection is awful, and it totally ravages the guts of those infected with it. A jolt of health bacteria, in the form of donated fecal matter, can be life saving.     While the gut microbiome might get all the glory, there are lots of other microbiomes that impact our wellbeing as well. Doctors are trying to figure out whether children born by C-section might miss out on some crucial microbes that other children get when they pass through the vaginal canal. One recent study actually used wet wipes with the mother’s vaginal microbes on them on newly C-sectioned babies to see if it helped. There are concerns about that method too though.     Of course with any promising scientific breakthrough there will be people trying to apply it to pretty much everything. In the episode we talk about what happens when certain microbes start getting connected to talent or personality, or associated with negative traits. We’ve already seen that with genetic information, so why not microbial?    This week we also bring a new segment to the show! I play a few voicemails that listeners sent about mosquitoes from last week. I really loved the funny and thoughtful messages you sent me so keep telling me what you think! I’ll feature them each week. Call us and leave a voicemail at (347) 927-1425. Or, send a voice memo to info@flashforwardpod.com. For instructions on how to do that, go here. And you don’t just have to tell us what you think about this future. If you want to suggest a future, you can do that too! I love hearing your ideas, so keep sending them!     Flash Forward is produced by me, Rose Eveleth, and is part of the Boing Boing podcast family.

A freezer full of donated poop at OpenBiome For one disease, poop — yes, human poop — is nothing short a miracle cure. Microbiologist Christina Agapakis takes a look at Fecal Microbiota Transplants or FMT and what happens when you take the really complex gut microbiome from a healthy person and transplant it into the gut of a really sick person. For patients suffering from a one of the most common and deadly hospital acquired infections, Clostridium Difficile, or C Diff, one poop transplant can cure them, sometimes within hours. But, why? Inside the Episode: Mark Smith shows host Christina Agapakis and producer Kerry Donahue the container donors, uh…”donate” in. Sign on the door at OpenBiome, reminding us of the importance of poop! Christina visits Mark Smith at OpenBiome in Medford, Massachusetts. OpenBiome is a poop bank where donors are paid $40 bucks a po(o)p and where scientists like Mark produce highly screened, liquefied poop samples to be sent to doctors and hospitals all over the country. Christina talks with Ed Yong, blogger at Not Exactly Rocket Science and author of a forthcoming book about microbes called I Contain Multitudes, about what we might be failing to ask in all of the excitement surrounding FMT. Christina also talks with Tami Lieberman, a systems biologist at Harvard who decided to put some new home sampling kits for sequencing your gut microbiome to the test. It’s a wild and wooly world out there when it comes to the medical power of poop. Who knew? Stay tuned. This episode was produced by Kerry Donahue and Sruthi Pinnamaneni, and mixed by David Herman.
