Science Friday is in Ames, Iowa, home to prairies, greater prairie chickens, and an array of wildlife. Also, the co-emergence of two periodical cicada broods is underway. Scientists have tips for how to experience the event.Science From Iowa's PrairiesThis week, SciFri is coming to you from Ames, Iowa. We're kicking off the sciencey Iowa celebrations by spotlighting some of the plants, animals and unique ecosystems of the Hawkeye state. Ira talks with Charity Nebbe, host of the “Talk of Iowa” at Iowa Public Radio, about the state's largest prairie restoration project, the conservation of prairie chickens, and its rebounding wildlife.Planning To Go See Cicadas? Here's What To KnowIn parts of the American South and Midwest, two broods of cicadas are emerging: Brood XIX, known as the Great Southern Brood, and Brood XIII, called the Northern Illinois Brood.The dual emergence of these two particular broods is a rare event, since the Great Southern Brood emerges on a 13-year cycle and the Northern Illinois Brood emerges on a 17-year cycle. The last time they were seen together was in 1803. The two could overlap this spring in parts of Illinois and Iowa, where cicada enthusiasts will gather in parks to observe the emergence.“Plan to spend an afternoon or two,” recommends entomologist Dr. Laura Iles from Iowa State University. “Here in Iowa it tends to be pretty patchy even within a park, so talk to someone, a ranger, about what path to hike on and the best places to go see them.”Ira Flatow speaks with Dr. Iles about the fascinating life cycle of cicadas, how best to approach cicada tourism, and why gardeners should hold off on planting new trees this year.Transcripts for each segment will be available the week after the show airs on sciencefriday.com.

On January 15, Iowa will take center stage as the first leg of the Republican primary race to the presidential nomination.Usually, the caucuses signal the kickoff to primary season. But this year, there isn't a lot that is usual about the Republican race so far.Former President Donald Trump is vying for his party's nomination - against an increasingly smaller pool of challengers.And despite the fact that Trump is currently facing 91 felony charges from state and federal jurisdictions, and has not attended a single debate, he continues to lead the pack.The most recent Iowa polls show him at over 50%. If that number sticks, it would be impossible for any of his four challengers to pull ahead in any significant way.NPR's Scott Detrow speaks to Iowa Public Radio's Clay Masters and J. Ann Selzer, president of the Iowa based polling firm Selzer and Company, on what the candidates numbers say about the race and the overall state of the Republican party.Email us at considerthis@npr.org

This is Stephen Schmidt from the Gazette Digital News Desk, and I'm here with your update for August 255, 2023.The hot air is finally moving on–Slowly. According to the National Weather Service it will be a comparatively cooler 94 degrees on Friday, with highs in the 80s predicted starting on the weekend. There will be a 20 percent chance of showers and thunderstorms throughout the day.The Johnson County Board of Supervisors is likely to provide public funding for emergency contraception for victims of sexual assault and rape as a state program remains in limbo.The move comes as more than 160 reimbursement requests for emergency contraception provided to sexual assault survivors from across the state are pending approval from the Iowa Attorney General's Office.According to records obtained by The Gazette, and first reported by Iowa Public Radio, the reimbursement requests from hospitals and pharmacies across the state total about $7,000. The vast majority are from this year, but one dates to August 2020. One is coded as confirmed child abuse.Republican Iowa Attorney General Brenna Bird paused the funding as part of an audit of the victim services administered through her office. Bird announced the audit upon taking office in January.However, it was not until early April that sexual assault response teams and other victim advocacy organizations learned of the policy change after her office confirmed it to the media, according to interviews and emails obtained by The Gazette under a public records request.A fire at Iowa State University's power plant Thursday disrupted the campus' cooling system, compelling instructors to move classes online — or cancel them altogether — and prompting administrators to encourage on-campus residents to head home for the weekend.As a result of the fire, reported at 10:45 a.m. Thursday, classes for the remainder of day and Friday were moved online or canceled.Students were instructed to check their email and class communication channels for further direction from instructors and professors. Six people were injured Wednesday after an anhydrous ammonia tank exploded at an agricultural cooperative facility in Manchester.The city on Manchester initially reported on Facebook that three anhydrous ammonia tanks had exploded at the Three River FS facility, 1000 S Fifth St., but Manchester Fire Chief Mike Ryan said Thursday that only one tank exploded.Other nearby tanks were pushed around by the force of the explosion, causing minor leaks in two other tanks.The Manchester Fire Department was called at 2:07 p.m. Wednesday, Ryan said.No injuries were reported at the scene, but six people were later transported in personal vehicles to the Regional Medical Center in Manchester to be treated for injuries related to the explosion, according to Delaware County Emergency Management.Anhydrous ammonia, as a liquid, is a widely used source of nitrogen fertilizer. Its fumes, if inhaled, can cause lung irritation and respiratory problems, according to state websites.

Welcome to the weekend!This is Stephen Schmidt from the Gazette Digital News Desk, and I'm here with your update for Saturday, April 22, and Sunday, April 23.The Spring weather rollercoaster continues, as temperatures will be dipping down this weekend before popping up next week. According to the National Weather Service in the Quad Cities, it will be mostly cloudy in the Cedar Rapids area with a high near 45 degrees on Saturday. There is predicted to be a chance of scattered rain or snow showers after 1 p.m., with a chance for a little bit of snow after 7 p.m.On Sunday night it will be partly sunny with a high near 49 degrees. It will drop down to 31 degrees Sunday evening, with another widespread frost after 3 a.m. Monday morning.A day after getting state Board of Regents approval to proceed with $185 million worth of health care and medicine-related projects, the University of Iowa issued a request for qualifications Friday from firms interested in designing and developing a massive new North Inpatient Tower next to Kinnick Stadium.The request shows UIHC is moving ahead with the new tower, first mentioned last year as part of its 10-year master plan, aimed at alleviating crowding across the more than 800-bed UI Hospitals and Clinics.Planned north of the 14-story UI Stead Family Children's Hospital, the new tower will emerge just west of the general hospital campus and overlook Kinnick to its southwest.Payment for emergency contraception for nearly 70 sexual assault survivors in Iowa has yet to be reimbursed, while one claim for an abortion is also on hold, while Republican Iowa Attorney General Brenna Bird reviews state policy.That's according to a statement from Planned Parenthood North Central States, based on records obtained by Iowa Public Radio from the Iowa Attorney General's Office.The Iowa Attorney General's Office earlier this month said it had paused its practice allowing the state's victim compensation funds to pay for emergency contraception — and, in rare cases, abortions — for victims of sexual assault, while it reviewed the state policy.Though the payments are not explicitly required, it has been the state's longtime policy to cover the cost of emergency contraception from the victim compensation fund. In rare cases, the fund also has paid for abortions for rape victims, said Sandi Tibbetts Murphy, director of the victim assistance division under previous attorney general, Democrat Tom Miller.Bird defeated Miller in the 2022 November election.The Salt Lake City-based Maverik chain of convenience stores is buying the Kum & Go chain of 400 stores in 13 states, including Iowa, the companies announced Friday.The purchase price was not disclosed.The Krause family started Kum & Go in 1959 with one store in Hampton in north-central Iowa. Its holdings now include 100 stores in Iowa.Kyle Krause, president and CEO of Krause Group, said in a news release that Maverik “is ideally positioned to lead the next chapter of growth for Kum & Go. We have much in common, and I look forward to welcoming Chuck's leadership, his team and Maverik to Des Moines.”It has not been disclosed, yet, whether Maverik will change the Kum & Go name, or any of its...

“Rural America is the next place to innovate. For the first time in human history, we no longer have to be attached to a city to experience the best things that culture, education, and business have to offer.” -Zachary Mannheimer, Founder & CEO of Alquist 3D In 2020, Zack and his partners expanded their work and launched Atlas Community Studios, a creative placemaking firm currently working on community development projects across more than 25 states. In his cross-country work with Atlas, Zack realized the number one thing holding communities back from economic and cultural prosperity – the lack of quality, affordable housing. He began researching the best way to solve America's housing crisis. Zack swiftly founded Alquist 3D and set about printing homes in underserved American communities. The first completed home, in Williamsburg, VA, was built in conjunction with Habitat for Humanity. That home stands as the first 3D-printed, owner-occupied, home in America! Zack speaks insightfully about bringing together diverse groups to create prosperous community development. He is passionate about this new home-building technology and is excited to share the message with builders, developers, community organizers, and potential homeowners. Zack is a board member with Iowa Public Radio and the Iowa Rural Development Council. He is a contributor for The Hill, and his work has been featured on CNN, NBC News, and CBS Evening News, as well as in The New York Times, The Washington Post, Time Magazine, Architecture Digest, and The Atlantic, among others.  Join us on this unique episode of Small Biz Florida as we explore the future of Rural housing with Zachary and Alquist 3D.  Learn more about Alquist 3D here: https://www.alquist3d.com/  For more segments like these, subscribe to Small Biz Florida and Follow the official Small Biz Florida Instagram!

Minnette Doderer began her three and a half decades of public service as a legislator in the mid 1960s. She also ran twice for lieutenant governor. In the 1970s and 1980s, she spoke with reporters in eastern Iowa. These rare recordings were recently found in Iowa Public Radio's storage and used in the 2022 podcast series From the Archives. This Under the Golden Dome episode features an episode from that series. Doderer discusses many topics including public money funding private schools, abortion, and how women politicians in the 20th century were often unfairly treated.

Iowa Public Radio is getting ready for two big goodbyes on December 31.

Natalie de Blois loved systems – understanding how things worked.  For her, it wasn't just pretty buildings, she challenged the code and questioned the status quo. And like the buildings she designed, there was a certain complexity to Natalie herself.  She was a woman of resilient beauty, inspiring yet distant, ahead of her time. Natalie de Blois (1921–2013), a pioneering woman architect, contributed to some of the most iconic modernist works for corporate America, all while raising four children.  After leaving a significant mark on post-war NYC Park Avenue, she transferred to the Skidmore Owings and Merrill Chicago office, where she became actively involved in the architecture feminist movement and was one of the leaders in the newly formed Chicago Women in Architecture advocacy group.  Later, she finished her career as a professor at UT Austin, where she trained a future generation of architects.

Some people in the Midwest are losing their homes because of a loophole in “quiet title” laws. Law experts say real estate opportunists are claiming that homes are abandoned, and are using the loophole to grab the home when homeowners are away. There are reports that this has been happening in Iowa but that quiet title laws in several states could be used to do the same thing. Hi, I'm Kathy Fettke and this is Real Estate News for Investors.

(1) Natalia Esteban had purchased the home in 2001 with her ex-husband, before they divorced. She moved to California in 2018, but kept the house in Marshalltown where she returned each summer. Big Surprise for the HomeownerEsteban's daughter, Maria Kendall, lived in Marshalltown with her family and noticed a listing on Zillow one day, for her mom's house. Her mother was in California at the time, so Kendall called her mom to ask about the listing. It was a big surprise for Esteban who wasn't selling the house. They discovered that Esteban had lost the title, and the new owner had put the home up for sale.So how did the title transfer to whoever was selling her home? It's called “quiet title action” and is used to settle disputes over who owns a piece of property. There could be a dispute over a boundary, or who owns a home after the owner dies, or any number of things. In Esteban's case, Catherine Gooding petitioned for title of Estaban's home claiming the home was abandoned. She also claimed to have a tax certificate that proved Gooding was the new owner. As required by the quiet title law, she published notification of the title dispute three times in the local newspaper. You know, the kind of small-print listings that most people probably wouldn't see, let alone Esteban who was in California at the time.Even if she had looked at the paper, she may have missed it because she's not fluent in English. But Gooding followed the law and won her case by default because Esteban failed to show up in court.Loophole In Quiet Title LawsLegal experts say the loophole has two issues that make it somewhat easy to snatch the title on a home. The first issue is a vaguely written law on how a person can challenge ownership of a property. It requires that the person petitioning for title must have an interest in the property, but it reportedly doesn't provide details. The second issue is how the homeowner is contacted about the title dispute. The small-print notifications in the newspaper meet the legal requirement, but don't do a very good job at notifying homeowners, especially if they are not home at the time and are immigrants who are not fluent in English.Esteban's daughter told Iowa Public Radio that if she hadn't seen the listing on Zillow: “We would never have found out the house was sold. My mother would have come back to Iowa in the summer and she would have found out she doesn't have a house.” Esteban went to court to fight for her home. It was revealed during that case, that Gooding had applied for a tax certificate but had never been granted one. The title ended up going back to Esteban, but unfortunately, she lost everything inside the home. The radio station says she lost many photos and family heirlooms from her native Mexico.Weak Quiet Title Laws In Several StatesThe radio station reports that Gooding used the quiet title law to acquire more than 40 properties in the Marshalltown area. She did not respond to a request for comment but as the radio station points out, she followed a law with very few parameters.As for how often this happens overall, it's difficult to track because there's no code in the Iowa court system for “quiet title” transfers. In addition to Iowa, other states that have weak quiet title laws include Missouri, Nebraska, and Kansas.Legal experts are worried about this happening to other homeowners. Kansas City real estate attorney Mike White says he's seen many quiet title cases during his 50 years in the business. He says: “I'd say the average person knows absolutely nothing about quiet titles.” And he says that quiet title laws throughout the Midwest don't do much to protect non-English speakers. Title insurance can protect homeowners from a dispute like this. While lenders require it, title insurance is optional for homeowners without a mortgage.

Governor Kim Reynolds visited a Catholic school in Des Moines on Tuesday to promote her plan to create state-funded scholarships that could help pay private school tuition. An Iowa House panel has advanced a bill that would give election officials more time to mail absentee ballots to voters after passing a law last year to give them less time. Plus, Iowa Public Radio is working on an agreement to take ownership of its broadcast licenses from the state's three public universities.

Natalie de Blois (1921–2013) contributed to some of the most iconic modernist works for corporate America, all while raising four children.  After leaving this significant mark on post-war Park Avenue, she transferred to the SOM Chicago office, where she became actively involved in the architecture feminist movement and was one of the leaders in the newly formed Chicago Women in Architecture advocacy group.  Later, she finished her career as a professor at UT Austin, where she trained a future generation of architects.   As an architect, Natalie loved systems – understanding how things worked.  For her, it wasn't just pretty buildings, she challenged the code and questioned the status quo. And like the buildings she designed, there was a certain complexity to Natalie herself.  She was a woman of resilient beauty, inspiring yet distant, ahead of her time.  Often overshadowed by her male counterparts, we hope to shed light on her life's work and legacy.
