Podcasts about immense world

Science writer Ed Yong was an invaluable resource for many of us navigating the strange pandemic landscape. His writing about Covid-19 at The Atlantic earned him a Pulitzer Prize, but left him looking for an outlet to recalibrate after that anxiety-ridden period. Inspired by his own writing in his book, An Immense World, he turned to bird-watching despite not expecting to be any good at it. It has turned into a passion, a way to explore both his home and the wider world, and an inspiration for his writing.  Also, Nate shares his experience wrangling endemics in Puerto Rico.  Subscribe to the podcast at Apple Podcasts, Spotify, or wherever you get your podcasts and please leave a rating or a review if you are so inclined!

Mariah gets Avery Tex's side of his story. Scene 7 Scene 8 Scene 9 Player (!) Notes I learned the term Umwelt from the book An Immense World by Ed Yong. If you have any interest at all in how creatures perceive their world (including humans), I heartily recommend it. There are chapters on the five senses you already know about, but also ones on heat, vibrations, pain, magnetic fields, electric fields, and more. Did you know humans can learn echolocation? It's a brilliant book. Our music is from Purple Planet Music. Visit them at purple-planet.com. Need context? Jump to the start of the series!

In this week's episode, I dive into An Immense World by Ed Yong and what it teaches us about life after divorce. Aristotle may have told us we only have five senses (he was wrong about that and about women), but neuroscience shows we actually have 20+ ways of perceiving the world.And here's the magic: divorce is like being dropped into a brand-new sensory universe. The signals you relied on in marriage don't apply anymore—you get to recalibrate, upregulate, and expand your perception of life.We'll talk about: ✨ The hidden senses you didn't know you had (like interoception and proprioception) ✨ Why boundaries are essential to avoid sensory overload after divorce ✨ How to listen to your inner compass and follow your true north ✨ Turning “stuck” moments into grounding, stabilizing ones ✨ Seeing divorce not as the end, but as a doorway into an immense life of awe, curiosity, and freedomBabe, your post-divorce life is bigger, brighter, and more expansive than you've been taught to believe. You are immense.PostDivorceGlowUp.comEmail: quinn@postdivorceglowup.com

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...

This podcast does not focus on substandard humor, notwithstanding Stuart's belief in the quality of his joke. Rather, it is dedicated to discussions revolving around inquiries submitted by the audience. Wayne from Bangor, Maine, USA sets the first question - “Any thoughts about recharging and regen in environmental campaigning and in life?”. Stuart initiates by asserting that maintaining consistent energy levels is more manageable if one avoids allowing the 'battery' to deplete entirely, advocating for sustained replenishment.  William extends this notion, emphasizing the importance of keeping one's 'battery' recharged and exploring diverse methodologies for narrating one's story, rather than presenting it monotonously. Stuart further elaborates on the significance of not overburdening oneself, particularly with social media engagement. He observes that many individuals incessantly produce content, yet he subscribes to the 'less is more' philosophy. The second question today comes from Ray, in Sauk Centre, Minnesota, USA - “Many people are looking to get the big questions answered. Many reject mainstream media for alternative media outlets, as they feel the mainstream don't tell the truth. Why, I ask, should it be assumed that alternative media tells the truth in comparison? I feel unregulated alternative media and narratives can infiltrate and exploit us, and nudge us towards thinking and acting how they want. The far right and the far left twist stories to fire us up. If any of us then get in trouble by being swept along in a tide of emotional reactions, we're considered collateral damage for someone else's agenda. All forms of media can be vailed recruitment drives, to spread any given perspective”. William commences by positing that this podcast itself could be considered part of the alternative media, emphasizing that it fosters authentic conversations rather than prescribing beliefs or emotions. Stuart advocates for engaging with a wide array of sources, especially those with which one may profoundly disagree. He argues that such exploration facilitates a deeper understanding of differing viewpoints and one's own beliefs, thereby promoting intellectual diversity. William compares news to advertising, suggesting both exert a significant influence on public perception. He poses a fundamental question regarding one's moral compass and intrinsic identity, querying whether individuals rely excessively on external influences to shape their opinions. Stuart highlights the importance of critically assessing media statements and their potential effects on individuals. William underscores the media's manipulation of emotions, irrespective of political alignment.

Take a quick moment to think about your surroundings. Tune into your senses, and contemplate what's happening around you. What do you see, hear, and smell? Now take a moment to imagine: What if you were a bat? How would you experience your environment differently? Maybe you could sense a nearby spider through echolocation, or feel minute changes in air pressure and temperature to know where to fly next. This world of perception is unique to each organism. It's what scientists call umwelt, from the German word meaning “environment” or “surroundings,” and it is the subject of this month's SciFri Book Club pick.Science writer, author, and birder Ed Yong returns to talk about how senses both familiar and foreign to us help animals experience their environment, and to tell us what he's learned in the past year since his book, An Immense World: How Animal Senses Reveal The Hidden Realms Around Us (now available in paperback), was published.The SciFri Book Club read An Immense World together this January, and readers joined Yong and guest host Arielle Duhaime-Ross via a live Zoom Call-in for a conversation on how writing about animals changed his experience in nature, how educators can help students become better connected to the Earth, and how readers are still connecting with his work on the umwelten of the animal kingdom.Transcripts for each segment will be available after the show airs on sciencefriday.com.

We live in such an immense world. The belief that humans are a superior race and are built to rule all is not true just because we've invaded everything. Today we'll talk more about what's going on in not our world, and what we're missing. Have a listen. Highlights: We are so dependent on our eyes, We are so dependent on our eyes because they are the most delicate of our senses. (4:00) Across the board, humans aren't really doing much difference, except in terms of quality. (13:20) There is something that we're calling life that is massively varied, all of which is experiencing itself in a variety of ways that we humans can't even understand and yet we have the hubris to believe that we are the reason for all of it and that we are more important and better than the rest of it when there's so many places where we fall short and so many things we do not see. (15:30) There's so much that we don't understand about reality, so much that we are missing because our senses are set up to help our species survive the way that this species does. (18:05) Need help unlocking mental, emotional, and physical freedom in your life?

A paper recently published in the journal Nature claimed that assembly theory could help explain and quantify selection and evolution. But what exactly is assembly theory? In this episode Marnie Chesterton speaks to science writer Philip Ball and zoologist and writer Professor Matthew Cobb. They dig into the science behind this tricky concept and figure out why it makes people so angry. A sample recovered by NASA from the Bennu asteroid hurtled back to earth recently. This week we saw what's been retrieved from 200 million miles away. Studies on the dust and rock are just getting underway. Professor Tom Zega, one of the mission scientists, reveals why this sample will be important for many years to come. We also hear from Ed Yong who has been shortlisted for the Royal Society Trivedi Science Book Prize. He tells us about his book, An Immense World, where he encourages us to think beyond the confines of our fleshy bodies. People experience the world in many different ways. It all comes down to perception. We speak to Professor Fiona Macpherson who, along with neuroscientist Professor Anil Seth, are co-leads of The Perception Census which aims to document the differences. Fiona reveals how this could help shine a light on consciousness and what it means to be human. The census closes at the end of the month and everyone's welcome.

In this week's episode, host Daniel Raimi talks with Jimena González Ramírez, an associate professor at Manhattan College, and Sarah Jacobson, a professor at Williams College. González Ramírez and Jacobson discuss some ways that systemic racism can unintentionally permeate research in the field of environmental and natural resource economics. They consider how historically racist policies and practices can affect research data and analysis and, in turn, produce findings which may render outcomes that discriminate. Specifically, the scholars identify several contributing issues: the prioritization of cost-effectiveness; inattention to procedural justice; abstraction from social and historical context; and a focus on problems that are easier, rather than more important, to solve. A recent Common Resources article by González Ramírez, Jacobson, and other coauthors delves into even more of the details that their conversation here doesn't cover.

Climate change is already making some places across the country unlivable and seems likely to uproot millions of Americans in the coming decades. The author of “The Great Displacement: Climate Change and the Next American Migration” collected the stories of people across the U.S. who have been driven out by fires, floods, droughts, and extreme heat. Plus -- when a whale dies, it eventually sinks to the ocean floor. And although that whale's life is over, that's when a whole new circle of life kicks off, with thousands of organisms including hagfish, zombie worms, and octopuses feeding off this “whale fall” for 50 or more years.  And every animal species experiences the world in a totally unique way. Mantis shrimp can filter polarized light, and star-nosed moles can smell under water. Sensory marvels and more, this week on Living on Earth. -- We offer a full transcript for each show along with photos and links to learn more. Check it out at loe.org.

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.

This week, Pulitzer Prize winning science writer and Author of An Immense World, Ed Yong, brings the experiences of other animals to life by showing how their senses differ from ours and guide them through the world. In this conversation, he challenges us to build more reverence for all the living beings on this planet by going beyond our own perceptions and immersing ourselves in the richness of life through their eyes.

Sharon welcomes guest Ed Yong to Here's Where It Gets Interesting. Ed's newest book, An Immense World, How Animal Senses Reveal the Hidden Realms Around Us. It's a fascinating look at the rich sensory world of animals, and Ed speaks to Sharon about how exploring this world opens up big, philosophical questions about life. Every creature, humans included, are only really perceiving a very thin sliver of the fullness of reality, and while our perceptions may be limited, we should continue to explore, and let our curiosity guide us into new experiences.Hosted by: Sharon McMahonGuest: Ed YongExecutive Producer: Heather JacksonAudio Producer: Jenny SnyderResearcher: Valerie Hoback Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

In his latest book, An Immense World, science writer Ed Yong takes a break from his tireless pandemic reporting for The Atlantic to invite readers inside the wondrous and innumerable different ways animals perceive the world around them — from bees and songbirds to scallops and crocodiles. Reset talked to the award-winning writer to learn more about the book and some of his favorite quirky wildlife.

A.I. Radio Hosts, Humility, Ignore Brant Day, BONUS CONTENT: An excerpt from An Immense World by Ed Yong; Quotes: “We've all unified to ignore you and it's beautiful.” “Just because you don't know it doesn't mean it doesn't exist.” “They're not that advanced yet.”

We remember David Jolicoeur, otherwise known as Trugoy the Dove, of the hip-hop group De La Soul. The influential group that emerged in the late 1980s brought a sense of fun and wit to the genre, as well as a middle-class suburban sensibility. We'll listen back to our 2000 interview with him.Also, science writer Ed Yong tells us about how animals perceive the world differently than humans, through hearing, sight, vibrations, echoes and magnetic fields. It's the subject of his book An Immense World.Justin Chang reviews the new film Emily, about the novelist Emily Brontë in the years before she wrote Wuthering Heights.

There's a vast world around us that animals can perceive — but humans can't. Pulitzer Prize-winning science writer Ed Yong talks about some of the sights, smells, sounds and vibrations that other living creatures experience. His book is An Immense World. John Powers reviews the new Masterpiece Mystery! series on PBS, The Magpie Murders.

Welcome to Season 5 of Chasing Life, where we'll explore the five traditional senses – sight, hearing, taste, touch and smell -- and beyond. To kick off the season, Dr. Sanjay Gupta talks to award winning science journalist Ed Yong about his new book “An Immense World, How Animal Senses Reveal the Hidden Realms Around Us.” Ed explains how all creatures live in their own “sensory bubble” through which they experience a sliver of reality. Plus, he takes us on a wild journey through the animal kingdom's many mysterious senses that exist beyond the reach of what we humans can know. If you've ever wondered what it might be like to be a dog, a bat or an electric eel, you won't want to miss this conversation.To learn more about how CNN protects listener privacy, visit cnn.com/privacy

The Atlantic's Science Writer, Ed Yong, joins us to discuss his fascinating new book: “An Immense World: How Animal Senses Reveal the Hidden Realms Around Us.”

What if you could taste the world's electrical fields? Hear vibrations in a leaf? Or see magnetic currents guiding you home? Science writer Ed Yong helps us perceive the world the way animals do – through eyes, ears, antennae and more.

We explore the hidden world around us — the sights, smells, tastes, sounds, and vibrations that are imperceptible to humans, but are perceived by various animals and insects. We talk with science writer Ed Yong about his new book An Immense World.Justin Chang reviews two films from the Sundance Film festival — now streaming — about relationships between a younger man and an older woman, Cha Cha Real Smooth and Good Luck to You, Leo Grande.Also, we hear from Angela Garbes, author of the new book Essential Labor. She wrote it after having to give up work during the pandemic lockdown, when she no longer had daycare. She says, raising children shouldn't be as lonely, bankrupting and exhausting as it is.

Ed Yong's new book, “An Immense World,” urges readers to break outside their “sensory bubble” to consider the unique ways that dogs, dolphins, mice and other animals experience their surroundings.“I've often said that my beat is everything that is or was once alive, which covers billions of species, across basically the entirety of the planet's history,” Yong says on this week's podcast. “One thing I like about this particular topic — the sensory worlds of other animals — is that it, itself, though a singular, cohesive topic, is also the gateway to thousands of small wonders. There's so much to learn about just in this one corner of biology.”Terry Alford visits the podcast to talk about his new book, “In the Houses of Their Dead,” an investigation of how Abraham Lincoln, John Wilkes Booth and their families were influenced by spiritualism.Alford says of Lincoln: “There's a struggle, as best I see it, in him between the rational side and the side that desires to be comforted and to be in contact with someone you loved who's not there anymore. He really wanted that, and he said he wanted that to a number of people. But he just felt, at the end of the day, that séance-type contact with the dead was really delusional.”Also on this week's episode, Lauren Christensen and Joumana Khatib talk about what they've been reading. John Williams is the host.Here are the books discussed in this week's “What We're Reading”:“The Secret History” by Donna Tartt“Blood Orange Night” by Melissa Bond“The Hack” by Wilfrid SheedWe would love to hear your thoughts about this episode, and about the Book Review's podcast in general.
