Der Indische Rotfeuerfisch breitet sich im Mittelmeer vor den Küsten Südeuropas aus und verdrängt heimische Arten vom Riff. Er frisst fast alles, was ihm vors Maul schwimmt. Lässt sich der Eindringling stoppen, indem wir ihn auf den Teller bringen? Lars Abromeit www.deutschlandfunkkultur.de, Die Reportage
Welcome to the Planet MicroCap Podcast's Due Diligence series. I'm your host, Robert Kraft. My guest today is Dan Goldberger, CEO of electroCore (NASDAQ: ECOR). electroCore is a commercial-stage neuromodulation company developing a suite of non-invasive vagus nerve stimulation devices—delivering a two-minute therapy session designed to rebalance the autonomic nervous system. Built around its nVNS platform, the company operates across three channels: prescription medical devices for headache and migraine, the fast-growing Truvaga direct-to-consumer wellness brand, and a specialized military and government division built around its ruggedized tac-stim product. Founded in 2006 as a non-invasive alternative to implanted vagus nerve stimulators, electroCore has evolved into a multi-indication business with seven FDA authorizations for headache, serving major customers like the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs and the UK's National Health Service. I invited Dan to the show to discuss all of this, as well as: How nVNS platform works and the science behind vagus nerve modulation electroCore's evolution from implanted alternatives to multi-channel neuromodulation The prescription business model across the VA, NHS, and managed care Truvaga's growth in the wellness market and why awareness is the primary competitor The tac-stim military program and its role as a meaningful revenue stream Strategic priorities heading into 2026—profitability, capital allocation, and commercial execution Challenges around insurance coverage and overcoming the “chicken and egg” problem The path toward becoming a $150–200 million business and the long-term vision for the platform For more information about electroCore, please visit: https://www.electrocore.com/ This podcast was recorded and is being made available by SNN, Inc.

Join Drs. Brian McDonough and Matthew Galsky as they review the CheckMate 274 trial's long-term data, which show sustained disease-free survival and highlight ctDNA's potential as a marker for residual disease. These findings reinforce nivolumab's role in the evolving standard of care and may support more personalized post-surgical strategies. Dr. Galsky is a Professor of Medicine and the Director of Genitourinary Medical Oncology at the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai in New York.
In this plain language podcast, the authors discuss highlights from the American Urological Association (AUA) Annual Meeting 2025. These insights come from the perspective of an expert patient and physician, both of whom have experience and expertise in the field of bladder cancer. This podcast is intended to broaden the reach of complex data and insights from AUA 2025 to a broader audience, including non-specialists, helping enable better informed treatment decisions between patients and healthcare professionals. The authors introduce the current treatment landscape for patients and discuss four clinical trials focusing on patients with bacillus Calmette-Guérin (BCG)-naïve and BCG-unresponsive high-risk non-muscle invasive bladder cancer (HR-NMIBC).

In this week's episode, hosts Kelly Wang and Mark Ambrogio speak with Marina de Oliveira Emerick, a PhD candidate in Neuroscience. Marina's research looks at the relationship between music and cognition; more specifically, how music and non-invasive brain stimulation can affect walking patterns (gait) in healthy older adults and those with Parkinson's Disease. Although walking feels automatic, it relies on brain systems that help us start moving and keep a steady rhythm, which can be disrupted by aging and Parkinson's. Early studies with young adults show promising improvements in step rhythm when people synchronize their steps to music. Marina is now expanding this work to older adults and those with Parkinson's, which means she is working directly with a clinical population. In addition to being found on LinkedIn, Marina has a ResearchGate profile. Marina's supervisor is Dr. Jessica Grahn, a cognitive neuroscientist who studies music. Those in the broader London area may find more information and community support from the Parkinson Society of Southwestern Ontario. Recorded on Tuesday, December 9, 2025 Produced by Mark Ambrogio and Kelly Wang Theme song provided by FreeBeats.io (Produced by WhiteHot)

In this episode of the HuntFishTravel Podcast, I sit down with Amy Siewe, better known as The Python Huntress. Amy is a professional python hunter working on the front lines of conservation in Florida, helping remove one of the most destructive invasive species in North America. We talk about how she went from real estate broker to full-time python hunter, what it's actually like to hunt massive snakes in the wild, and why this work is so critical to protecting native wildlife in the Everglades. We dive deep into how Burmese pythons ended up in Florida in the first place, the impact they've had on native mammals and ecosystems, what a real python hunt looks like, from spotlighting roads at night to catching snakes by hand, the largest python Amy has ever caught and a wild story to go with it, and how python hunting ties directly into scientific research and conservation. This episode is fascinating, intense, occasionally jaw-dropping (I probably said "bananas" way too many times to count), and deeply rooted in responsible conservation. Amy's respect for wildlife and the Everglades comes through loud and clear and I walked away with a whole new understanding of just how serious the python problem really is. Whether you're a hunter, angler, conservationist, or just someone who loves wild stories from the field, this is an episode you don't want to miss.

A New Plymouth lake is being drained in an effort to stop invasive clams. Lake Rotomanu's been closed to motorised watercraft since the gold clams were found there last month, marking the first discovery of the species outside of the Waikato River. The lake's outlet was opened yesterday, and it will take about four days to drain completely. Dave Cade told Kerre Woodham it's the worst biosecurity threat to New Zealand's freshwater that the country's ever faced. He says the clams reproduce asexually, and they'll smother the bottom of lakes, smothering native organisms and clogging hydro stations.

In Bannock County, a hungry herd of goats is taking on invasive cheatgrass, helping the Sagebrush Steppe Land Trust restore native habitat for the region's wild residents.
Decades ago, non-native carp were brought onto fish farms on the Mississippi River to control algae and parasites. They escaped, thrived, and eventually flooded the Illinois River, outcompeting native species and wreaking havoc. If the carp find their way into the Great Lakes, they could do major damage to those vital ecosystems.There's a proposed project to stop the fish—but it's expensive, and not everyone agrees it's the best solution. Host Flora Lichtman speaks with WBEZ and Grist reporter Juanpablo Ramirez-Franco and carp expert Cory Suski.Guests: Juanpablo Ramirez-Franco is an environmental reporter at WBEZ and Grist.

Stephen Ryu, a neurosurgeon and key figure in the Stanford Neuroprosthetics Lab joins Tjaša Zajc on Faces of Digital Health to demystify brain–computer interfaces (BCIs): how they work, why invasive systems outperform non-invasive ones, realistic use cases (motor control and speech), timelines and durability, safety and MRI trade-offs, cybersecurity, business models, and what Paradromics is building as a high-bandwidth BCI platform. Throughout, Stephen separates science fact from sci-fi, stressing near-term potential to restore communication and movement for people living with paralysis, while noting earlier-stage areas like mental health and pain. What we cover: - Invasive vs. non-invasive BCIs, and why electrode proximity to neurons matters for performance - Decoding motor intent and speech: training, language considerations, and LLM-enabled synthesis - Safety, surgery, and durability (why 10-year implant lifespans are a meaningful target) - MRI/CT compatibility trade-offs (and parallels to pacemakers/DBS) - Cybersecurity realities (what BCIs can not do today) - Business models, regulation, and reimbursement paths for medical-grade BCIs - Paradromics' differentiation: a high-bandwidth platform designed to scale across use cases - Future indications: pain, sensory restoration; earlier stage: mental health biomarkers - The human impact: restoring connection for people who can't move or speak Chapters: 01:37 How BCIs work; signals, decoding, invasive vs. non-invasive 07:13 Surgery basics, risks, and why proximity boosts performance 09:36 Decoding speech & language considerations 13:31 What's most advanced today: motor + speech 14:58 Mental health: biomarkers and why it's early 17:48 Longevity, MRI/CT limits, realistic replacement intervals 21:16 Patient perception: fear, performance, and value vs. alternatives 25:04 Paradromics' platform & high-bandwidth approach 29:22 Platform use cases by brain area (motor, auditory, etc.) 31:18 Cybersecurity: risks today vs. sci-fi 32:35 Business models, regulation, and access 36:42 Trials landscape; Paradromics' timeline 37:53 Biggest concerns: hype vs. reality 39:50 Three things everyone should know about BCIs 42:10 Potential in pain management 44:41 Role of AI/ML in decoding and assistive apps 46:36 Final thoughts www.facesofdigitalhealth.com Newsletter: https://fodh.substack.com/

Welcome to another Retrospective episode, this time about wildflowers. This was originally recorded in 2019 as part of the radio show, Digging in with Master Gardeners on 90.7 WGXC FM. The content is still very relevant today, so we've repurposed it for our podcast format. In this episode, Tim and Jean sit down with Tracey Testo-Smith, Agroforestry and Natural Resources Program Manager at Cornell Cooperative Extension (CCE) of Columbia and Greene Counties. Tracey considers the Agroforestry Resource Center in the Siuslaw Teaching and Model Forest as her “specialty.” She leads frequent forest walks, and Part I of this interview is a chat about the wildflowers she observes. She explains the Siuslaw Forest's evolution from a logging resource to one of four model forests in the New York City/Catskill Watershed area. The forest is an education source and is frequently open to the public. So, when you want to learn about wildflowers and attend one of Tracey's walks, what should you expect? Tracey says to keep in mind three main features of most : wildflowers are; petal number and symmetry (odd or even number); leaf arrangement, whether opposite, alternate or whorled; the edges of the leaf, whether the margins are entire, toothed or lobed. With these three basic observations, you can begin to “key out” an iID for the plant you're looking at. Newcombe's Wildflower Guide is Tracey's favorite reference book. On her walks, Tracey likes to point out the more subtle flowers, while still admiring the showier “stars”, of course. There is also a grey area about non-native introduced flowers that have coexisted peacefully with the natives for, in some cases, centuries. These are acknowledged for their beauty and usefulness, too. In the Spring wildflower walks, the Ephemerals show off. These are plants with a specific lifestyle habit of appearing early in the year, growing to full maturity and producing seeds before disappearing, plant and all, until the next year. Tracey points out that sometimes plants are misnamed as ephemeral but arent because the foliage perseveres into the summer. One example of this is the Hepatica. A field trip, whether into the Siuslaw Forest or, often, the Hudson CCE campus, consists of the group gathering and reviewing how to use field guides before venturing outside to explore. Phone apps are discussed as well. Tracey admits a partiality to the Springtime. She points out that at that time of year, we're hungry for color and fresh plant life as the forest reawakens. When Tim asked about the rarest plant she'd observed, she described the green fringed orchid, a very subtle beauty that seems to “move around” from year to year. It's listed by the state as not “rare”, but “vulnerable.”Some plants are hunted, specifically ginseng. Once almost eradicated because of its value to herbalists and over-harvesting by landowners and poachers alike, wild stands of the plant are often kept secret by those who find them. Ginseng planbts typcally don't thrive when transplanted, so Tracey warns against thinking you can bring them home to grow them in “safety”. In fact, she advises against digging up any wild plant... it's usually a death sentence because its growing requirements are very specific. Other threats beside loving them to death (moving them) include climate change and invasive plants. Climate change interferes with the interrelations between plants, birds and animals that had evolved over millennia, when outside temperatures are no longer predictable by seasons. With extremes occurring more often, it stresses plant life. Invasive plants outcompete native plants for resources by sprouting earlier and lasting later into the seasons. The other major threat to wildflowers is deer browse. Tracey describes experimental “exclosures” build within the forest and observed over a number of years for effect on the plant population. There is an opportunity for citizen scientist volunteers to participate in the AVID program (see website link in the resources). Another way to participate is via the iMap invasive app, reporting on discovery and reporting of invasive plants.

It all started harmlessly enough: People bought kits to grow mushrooms at home. But then, scientists in the upper Midwest noticed something strange. The golden oyster mushroom, which is not native to the United States, was thriving in local forests. Those homegrown mushrooms escaped our basements into the wild. Fungal ecologist Aishwarya Veerabahu joins Host Ira Flatow to discuss what impact these invasive mushrooms might have on the ecosystem.Plus, nightshade expert Sandra Knapp describes the evolution of the potato plant, and how a lucky crossbreeding millions of years ago may have given rise to the starchy tubers we eat today.Guests:Aishwarya Veerabahu is a fungal ecologist and PhD candidate at the University of Wisconsin-Madison.Dr. Sandra Knapp is a Merit Researcher at the Natural History Museum in London.Transcripts for each episode are available within 1-3 days at sciencefriday.com.
