Carl Safina is an ecologist, author, conservationist, and animal translator whose body of work probes how free-living animals experience life. His books Beyond Words: What Animals Think and Feel and Becoming Wild: How Animal Cultures Raise Families, Create Beauty, and Achieve Peace have won numerous awards. Audubon named Carl Safina among its “100 Notable Conservationists of the 20th Century.” Carl uncovers the rich truth that many species and animals have entire cultures, traditions, familial stories, and individual quests, that all are part of this symbiotic tapestry of tales that we call “nature”. He travels alongside the sweeping wingspans of albatrosses, the elephants of East Africa, the wolves of Yellowstone, the Orcas of the Pacific Northwest, sperm whales, seals, turtles, deciphering the role of matriarchs and elders, describing how individual personalities affect all kinds of behaviors, and how these creatures too experience mourning, loss, and grief. Here we speak about all these interlocking animal worlds and lives, their highly evolved and complex cultural systems, how the world is awash in waves of communication, the imperfect evolutionary work in progress known as human empathy, and how knowledge of their existence should drastically influence strategies of conservation and regeneration. We end on a profound note speaking to the role of beauty across species and minds.(Tip: Listen to the end of this episode, the closing is particularly special...) “Culture is Life itself adjusting and responding and expressing to the corner of this galaxy in which it finds itself” - Carl Safina Episode Website Link.Show Links:Carl Safina Website with links to books, articles, podcastsThe Safina Center Non ProfitZebra Fish and empathy/oxytocin responseThe Mind of a Bee bookGuardian: Australian Songbird forgetting love songsLook out for meditations, poems, readings, and other snippets of inspiration in between episodes.Photo Credit: Whales, Clark Miller Music: Electric Ethnicity by Igor Dvorkin, Duncan Pittock & Ellie Kidd Hosted on Acast.

In this episode James and Lisa have a conversation with Shaunti Feldhahn, co-author of the book "Secrets of Sex and Marriage." The episode tackles one of the most taboo topics in most relationships - Sex in marriage. Shaunti and her co-author, renowned sex therapist Michael Sytsma, spent three years and $120,000 on a research project involving interviewing over 5,300 people, leading to major surprises and aha moments. They identified the little things that make a big difference in making marriage sex work. The episode reveals how communication is crucial and how making people understand the differences in desire and addressing underlying issues can bring freedom and growth in a relationship. With the book designed to be read together, Shaunti believes that "Secrets of Sex and Marriage" can help couples understand each other better and feel validated. "Communication is the elephant in the room - the topic we avoid because of its awkwardness. Despite having close friends, we rarely address it with them. It's the only issue we never speak about, leading to the creation of myths and misunderstandings which guide our actions. If we don't learn to communicate with our partners, these myths will keep us from true understanding." Topics discussed:- How intimacy in marriage is the least talked-about topic- Research on the little things that make a big difference in making marriage intimacy work- Communication gaps and misunderstandings and how they impact intimacy- Understanding the differences in desire- Establishing signals or cues for willingness to engage in sexual activity- The church as a safe place for difficult conversations, and the creation of a curriculum on intimacy in marriage Resources:Schedule a Discovery Call about Marriage RebootSUBSCRIBE: NewsletterSupport the Podcast:patreon.com/ArtofSpousingOther episodes you'll enjoy:Practising the Art of SpousingGuest Resources:Websites: shaunti.com, secretsofsexandmarriage.comIG: @shauntifeldhahnFB: Shaunti FeldhahnShaunti's Books: Secrets of Sex and Marriage: 8 Surprises That Make All the Difference FOR WOMEN ONLY: What Men Think 98% of the Time: What You Need to Know about the Inner Lives of Men.

A student of the spirit needs to breakthrough to the reality and impact of our thoughts and feelings, to tend and care for them as if they were deeds in the world as real as the deeds of our hands. This third practice taken up by Jonah and Patrick takes up the world-significance of our inner lives, moving into the realm of the soul, the heart of who we are.Many thanks to Elliott Chamberlin who composed the theme music, “Seeking Together.” You can find more of his music here.Thanks also to Camilla Lake for the show notes and Patreon/Podcast communications and production.The Light in Every Thing is a podcast of The Seminary of The Christian Community in North America.

My guest today for the Making Sense of Science podcast is Camila dos Santos, associate professor at Cold Spring Harbor Lab, who is a leading researcher of the inner lives of human mammary glands, more commonly known as breasts. These organs are unlike any other because throughout life they undergo numerous changes, first in puberty, then during pregnancies and lactation periods, and finally at the end of the cycle, when babies are weaned. A complex interplay of hormones governs these processes, in some cases increasing the risk of breast cancer and sometimes lowering it. Witnessing the molecular mechanics behind these processes in humans is not possible, so instead Dos Santos studies organoids—the clumps of breast cells donated by patients who undergo breast reduction surgeries or biopsies.​Show notes:2:52 In response to hormones that arise during puberty, the breast cells grow and become more specialized, preparing the tissue for making milk.7:53 How do breast cells know when to produce milk? It's all governed by chemical messaging in the body. When the baby is born, the brain will release the hormone called oxytocin, which will make the breast cells contract and release the milk.12:40 Breast resident immune cells are including T-cells and B-cells, but because they live inside the breast tissue their functions differ from the immune cells in other parts of the body,17:00 With organoids—dimensional clumps of cells that are cultured in a dish—it is possible to visualize and study how these cells produce milk.21:50 Women who are pregnant later in life are more likely to require medical intervention to breastfeed. Scientists are trying to understand the fundamental reasons why it happens.26:10 Breast cancer has many risks factors. Generic mutations play a big role. All of us have the BRCA genes, but it is the alternation in the DNA sequence of the BRCA gene that can increase the predisposition to breast cancer. Aging and menopause are the risk factors for breast cancer, and so are pregnancies.29:22 Women that are pregnant before the age of 20 to 25, have a decreased risk of breast cancer. And the hypothesis here is that during pregnancy breast cells more specialized, as specialized cells, they have a limited lifespan. It's more likely that they die before they turn into cancer.33:08 Organoids are giving scientists an opportunity to practice personalized medicine. Scientists can test drugs on organoids taken from a patient to identify the most efficient treatment protocol. ​Links:Camila dos Santos's Lab Page.

Jonathan shares his insights and stories about fishes cognition, being a machiavellian, play, human-fishes interaction, social dynamics, behaviour, recognition, memory, and emotions. For more information on Dr. Jonathan Balcombe please visit his WEBSITEShort bio: Jonathan Balcombe is a biologist with a PhD in ethology, the study of animal behavior. His books include Pleasurable Kingdom, Second Nature, The Exultant Ark, and What a Fish Knows--a New York Times best-seller now available in fifteen languages.

Marc's main areas of research have included animal behavior, cognitive ethology (the study of animal minds), behavioral ecology, and compassionate conservation. His research and writing reflect his on-going and eclectic interests that center on the basic tenets of compassionate conservation, namely, "First do no harm" and the life of every individual matter because they are alive and have intrinsic value, not because of what they can do for us. Marc and I chatted about his upcoming project, about dogs and what they would do if one day we would disappear (as a thought experiment), animal behavior & emotions and some misconceptions people have about puppy mills & other topics. Marc is really a trailblazer in his field and it was a pleasure having him on the show to share in some of the knowledge he has.
