Alberto Cebrián nos lleva a conocer a Jeanne Baret, la primera mujer en dar la vuelta al mundo. Precisamente, otra mujer que nos da una vuelta es Anaju, la cantante alcañizana nos enseña su ciudad y las posibilidades en verano. Y, escuchamos el sonido del guitarrico del Maestrazgo que, el músico Armando Ayora, deja en forma de legado para que nunca se olvide.
Disfrazada de hombre. Así, Jeanne Baret pudo descubrir el mundo y dar la vuelta al globo terráqueo. Ella y otras mujeres son las protagonistas de "El embrujo del Mediterráneo" de Alberto Cebrián que habla de las mujeres que se rebelaron contra su destino.
El 27 de julio de 1749 nacía Jeanne Baret. Toda una pionera, pues está considerada como la primera mujer en dar la vuelta al mundo. No fue fácil pero hoy os contamos su increíble historia.

In Männerkleidung getarnt schummelte sich Jeanne Baret 1766 an Bord eines französischen Forschungsschiffs und reiste bis in die Südsee. Sie sammelte Tausende Pflanzenproben - bis der Schwindel aufflog und sie als Frau enttarnt wurde.
Botanica autodidatta, naturalista, chiamata “la signora delle erbe”, Jeanne Baret è la prima donna nella storia a compiere un giro completo attorno al mondo, circumnavigando il globo nel 1766 a bordo della nave che la porta dalla Francia al Brasile, da Tahiti alle Mauritius. Figlia di contadini, Jeanne impara da piccola a riconoscere le piante, diventa un'esperta di erbe officinali e grazie alle sue conoscenze il famoso botanico Philibert Commerçon, la vuole accanto a sé per catalogare piante in giro per il mondo. In una società che si basa su rigide convenzioni sociali, Jeanne infrange le leggi della separazione tra maschile e femminile, si traveste da uomo per amore di un uomo, contribuendo così ad approfondire le conoscenze botaniche della sua epoca e soprattutto dimostrando di essere una grande donna.

La ilustración científica es una disciplina a caballo entre el arte y la ciencia que sirve para apoyar visualmente el trabajo de investigadores en áreas tan diversas como la botánica, la zoología, la anatomía, la astronomía o la geología, entre otras. Tiene la ventaja de poder representar especies y ambientes extintos, colocar e iluminar ejemplares de la mejor forma posible para resaltar la información que queremos transmitir o plasmar procesos metabólicos o celulares imposibles de fotografiar. Hemos entrevistado a Anna Escardó, autora de “Ilustración científica. Una historia del conocimiento visual desde el siglo XV a la actualidad”, una obra en gran formato publicada por Taschen. Nuria Martínez Medina nos acercó a la biografía de Jeanne Baret, la primera mujer en dar la vuelta al mundo en la expedición de Bouganville, aunque para ello tuviera que disfrazarse de hombre porque estaba prohibida la presencia de mujeres en los barcos de la marina francesa. Con Montse Villar de comisaria hemos visitado la exposición “Reflejos del cosmos en el Museo del Prado”, un recorrido por una veintena de obras que plasman cómo la percepción y el conocimiento del Universo han variado conforme avanzaba la ciencia y la tecnología. Con Jesús Zamora hemos reflexionado sobre la fascinación que provoca el apocalipsis, sea cual sea la causa. Hemos reseñado los libros “La edad del vidrio”, coordinado por Alicia Durán y John M.Parker (CSIC-Catarata); “Historia de los volcanes”, de Nahúm Méndez-Chazarra (Guadalmazán); y “El Lunático de Lichfield.

Como muchos de nuestros oyentes recordarán del instituto, el peso atómico es el número que se encuentra debajo del símbolo de un elemento químico en la Tabla Periódica. En algunos casos no es un número fijo (p. ej. el boro procedente de Turquía tiene un peso atómico menor que el boro de California debido a las diferencias en su composición isotópica). Estos pequeños cambios podrían parecer insignificantes, pero son importantes para determinar la pureza y el origen de un elemento o de un alimento natural, investigar casos de dopaje, seguir el rastro de contaminantes en el aire o en el agua o identificar la procedencia de restos arqueológicos. La Unión Internacional de Química Pura y Aplicada (IUPAC) acaba de revisar el peso atómico de cinco elementos (Ar, Ir, Hf, Pb e Yb) en una colaboración internacional de muchos meses de trabajo que ha requerido el empleo de los últimos avances tecnológicos. Hemos entrevistado a Javier García Martínez, presidente de la IUPAC desde el pasado mes de enero. La semana pasada hablamos de la primera fotografía de Sagitario A*, el agujero negro situado en el centro de nuestra galaxia. Hoy Montse Villar nos ha contado las investigaciones que se han hecho en los últimos ha contado 50 años para que esa imagen sea posible. Jesús Martínez Frías nos ha informado del sorprendente hallazgo de microorganismos de 800 millones de años de antigüedad conservados en cristales de sal hallados en la Formación Browne (Australia central). En nuestra historia de la ciencia, Nuria Martínez Medina ha dedicado un capitulo a la francesa Jeanne Baret, la primera mujer que dio la vuelta al mundo en la expedición de Bouganville aunque para eso tuvo que disfrazarse de hombre. Fernando Blasco nos ha hablado del juego matemático “Torre de Hanoi”. Son discos de radio creciente apilados en una de las tres varillas de un tablero. El objetivo es mover la pila en otra de las varillas en el menor número posible de pasos, siguiendo una serie de reglas: Sólo se puede mover un disco a la vez; no puede haber nunca un disco de mayor tamaño o sobre uno de tamaño menor; y solo se puede desplazar el disco que se encuentre arriba en cada varilla.

March is Women's History Month, at least in the United States so I am continuing to feature women scientists on the podcast all month. I thought I would start off with a little history about women in Stem. We women have a way of persisting and despite continuing to face barriers to professional advancement, we just will not stop. What lengths have we gone to? Like Rosalind, of Shakepeare's As You Like It, who disguised herself as a young man in an effort to travel through the forest without fear of harm, Women have altered their appearance and behavior throughout history to succeed in STEM fields dominated by men. While some, like military surgeon James Barry, whose real name was Margaret Ann Bulkley, went to extraordinary measures that lasted a lifetime, others like Jeanne Baret disguised herself as a man to get onboard a scientific expedition well before Darwin ever set foot on the Beagle. It would take until 1959 before women, presented as women, were even permitted on scientific expeditions. Fast forward to today when my guest Dr. Lela Schlenker spends most of her time asking if she can come aboard a commercial fishing boat. Dr. Lela Schlenker is a marine scientist with a fascinating background. She is currently a Visiting Assistant Professor at the Williams Mystic Program. This is a really special program run by Williams College in collaboration with Mystic seaport. This is an important program to Dr. Lela Schlenker and you'll find out why in the episode.

Everybody loves a wedding, but there are a few traditions that we maybe shouldn't love as much. Plus, a bad bitch that that loves botany and travel!
It all began with a small portrait in the Greenwich museum - of a sexless looking character in wide stripey trousers. Actor Nina Sosanya says she was immediately intrigued. Who was this? Why was she here? And did she really sail round the world dressed as a man? She discovered that Jeanne Baret was a poor but ingenious French woman who joined Louis Antoine de Bougainville's circumnavigation in 1763. She was dressed as a man because women were not allowed on board. But this was only the beginning of a crazy, often terrifying ordeal. Joining Nina Sosanya is Glynis Ridley, author of the Discovery of Jeanne Baret. Together they piece together this adventurer's life, from her birth in rural France to her passage round the globe, abandoned on Mauritius and getting back home seven years after everyone else. Nina Sosanya has starred in Staged, Killing Eve and W1A, often playing extremely likable characters who keep their head while everyone else goes down in flames. The producer in Bristol is Miles Warde
John Ronald Reuel Tolkien was born in Bloemfontein in 1892. Orphaned before he was a teenager, he fought at the Somme in World War One before going on to become one of the best-selling authors of all time. Bilbo, Gandalf, Gollum, Frodo, Sauron - these are just a few of the famous characters he created for The Hobbit and The Lord of the Rings. Nominating Tolkien - an Oxford University professor - is the popular historian, Niall Ferguson. He aims to rescue Tolkien from the hippies, who, he says, claimed Tolkien as their own. "The fascinating thing to me about Tolkien is that his sensibility is so profoundly conservative - with a small 'c'. ...when you look at the man's politics, he was such a reactionary!" Presenter Matthew Parris, who doesn't believe in elves or dwarves, is not so sure that the fantasy author deserves to be rescued. With additional help and guidance from Malcolm Guite. Niall Ferguson is senior fellow of the Hoover Institution and author of Empire: How Britain made the Modern World. The producer for BBC Audio in Bristol is Ellie Richold. Future episodes in this series include Rory Sutherland on Johnny Ramone; Nina Sosanya on Jeanne Baret, the first woman to circumnavigate the globe; and the boss of Iceland, Richard Walker, on William Lever, one of the founders of Unilever plc
Cuando el naturalista francés Philibert Commerson fue convocado para la primera expedición francesa que dio la vuelta al mundo, enlistó a su novia y asistente, la botánica Jeanne Baret. El problema era que, a mediados del siglo XVIII, no se permitían mujeres en las embarcaciones: viajó más de un año disfrazada de hombre. En este episodio, Andrés Kalawski y Paula Molina nos cuentan la historia de Jeanne Baret, y su aporte a la ciencia.

Escuchamos la historia de Jeanne Baret, la primera mujer que dio la vuelta al mundo. Era de origen humilde con una grandísima dedicación a las plantas. Se vio obligada a disfrazarse de hombre para participar en la expedición científica comandada por Louis Antoine de Bougainville. Esta odisea ha inspirado a María Teresa Telleria para escribir su primera novela “Sin permiso del rey”. Después tenemos una conexión con la Sierra de la Culebra en Zamora, una de las mayores reservas reservas del lobo en Europa. Conversamos con Santiago León Lucas, pastor de cabras y poeta, amigo del lobo....
En diciembre de 1766, cuando tenía 26 años, Jeanne Baret se disfrazó con ropa de hombre y esperó en el muelle del puerto de Rochefort en el suroeste de Francia. Allí le ofreció sus servicios a Philibert Commerson, un médico de formación pero para entonces naturalista designado por la realeza en el primer intento de circunnavegación francés, que se anticipaba duraría al menos tres años.

This week, we’re talking about noble rhubarb and an amazing story of a female adventurer, botanist and tavern owner, Jeanne Baret. Plus speculations about the moon, a lot of great inventions and a parrot who likes crisps.
Estas son las auténticas pioneras que desafiaron la imaginación del mismísimo Julio Verne. Os vamos a hablar de tres aventureras que recorrieron el mundo en tiempos en que semejante hazaña era terreno vedado para una mujer. Se trata de Jeanne Baret, botánica francesa que tiene el honor de ser, que sepamos, la primera mujer en circunnavegar el mundo y de Nelly Bly, precursora del periodismo de investigación que fue llamada por Joseph Pulitzer a completar la vuelta al mundo en menos de 80 días, emulando al famoso Phileas Phogg de la novela de Verne. Pero además, por competir con esta última para lograr el mismo objetivo, conoceremos a Elizabeth Bisland, otra periodista que se enfrentó al mismo desafío pero en sentido contrario.

Frankreich: Um 1766 begibt sich Jeanne Baret an Bord des Marineschiffs „La Boudeuse“ und wird Teil der berühmten Expedition des französischen Seefahrers und Forschers Louis-Antoine de Bougainville. Das Problem: Frauen sind damals an Bord nicht erlaubt.
Im Sommer 1740 kommt Jeanne Baret als Tochter eines Tagelöhners im französischen Dorf La Comelle zur Welt. Eigentlich spricht alles dagegen, dass ihr Leben etwas Besonderes werden könnte. Denn im Europa des 18. Jahrhunderts sind viele Bereiche für Frauen verschlossen. Verkleidet als Mann nahm sie an der der berühmten Expedition des französischen Seefahrers und Forschers Louis-Antoine de Bougainville teil. Lieber als Mann um die Welt als gar nicht, sagte sich die junge Frau. Um ihr Leben ranken sich viele Legenden, vieles liegt im Dunkeln.
La storia di una donna che ha circumnavigato il mondo, dando il proprio inestimabile contributo alla scienza botanica.
Jeanne Baret (1740 - 1807) foi a primeira mulher a dar a volta ao mundo! Navegando disfarçada de homem, a botânica e aventureira coletou mais de 6.000 espécies de plantas ao redor do globo.
Jeanne Baret war eine Pionierin: Sie soll die erste Frau gewesen sein, die im 18. Jahrhundert die Welt umsegelt hat. Doch um überhaupt an Bord des französischen Schiffes zu kommen, musste sie sich als Mann verkleiden. Tina Witte geht auf eine Reise in die Vergangenheit.

In deze editie van Radio Hortus hebben we het over de tuin, de kassen, botanici en meer. We praten met stoepplantjesexpert Andre Biemans - u heeft hem al eerder gehoord, maar nu volgt het grote Andre Biemans-interview, we horen een luguber is-dat-zootje en u hoort het einde van het levensverhaal van Jeanne Baret.
Frankreich um 1766: Die junge Jeanne Baret begibt sich an Bord des Marineschiffs „La Boudeuse“ und wird Teil der berühmten Expedition des französischen Seefahrers und Forschers Louis-Antoine de Bougainville. Das Problem: Frauen sind damals an Bord von königlichen Schiffen nicht erlaubt. Also nennt sich Jeanne Baret „Jean“ und verkleidet sich als Mann. So soll sie zur ersten Frau geworden sein, die die Welt umsegelt hat. Und dabei auch die farbenprächtige Bougainvillea entdeckt haben. Um ihr Leben ranken sich viele Legenden, vieles liegt im Dunkeln.
Weil Frauen damals nicht auf Marineschiffe durften, hat Jeanne Baret sich als Mann ausgegeben. Und konnte so als Assistentin eines Botanikers an der Expedition von de Bougainville zwischen 1766 und 1769 teilnehmen. Sie soll dabei die später nach dem Expeditionsleiter benannte Bougainvilléa entdeckt haben. Geboren wurde sie 1740 im burgundischen Dorf La Comelle. Martin Bohne hat diesen Ort besucht.
Did you spot this recent Google Doodle? We'd just recorded our episode before it appeared to celebrate her 280th birthday! Introducing the indefatigable Jeanne Baret: expert botanist and the first woman to circumnavigate the globe and WHAT a life story...
Um die Weltumseglerin Jeanne Baret ranken sich viele Geheimnisse. Eines aber ist gewiss: Der Mut und die Tatkraft dieser Frau lassen so manchen Seefahrer im 18. Jahrhundert blass erscheinen. Martin Bohne hat sich auf Spurensuche begeben. Von Martin Bohne.
Weil Frauen damals nicht auf französische Marineschiffe durften, hat Jeanne Baret sich als Mann ausgegeben und als Assistent(in) des renommierten Botanikers de Bougainville an der Weltumrundung zwischen 1766 und 1769 teilgenommen.
Today we remember the first woman to have circumnavigated the world. We'll also learn about the wealthy horticulturist who built a magnificent estate on the shores of Lake Waban. We celebrate the botanist who was the first editor of Rhodora, the New England Botanical Club's journal. We also salute the father of British plant geography. We honor the Reverend, who wrote two sweet little books for Burpee about sweet peas. Today's Unearthed Words feature some silly light-hearted poems about the garden. We Grow That Garden Library™ with a book that gives us something to do in terms of projects for our garden, And then we'll wrap things up with the story of the woman who founded the Greening of Harlem.

It's that easy. Curated News Landscape designer Piet Oudolf on finding solace in the garden | PBS NewsHour “The world has looked strange these past months, familiar places no longer familiar at all. Many people have turned to their own or community gardens during this period, growing vegetables and flowers, nourishing body and soul. Gardening centers have been among the first essential businesses to reopen. Sales of seeds have soared. Piet Oudolf isn't surprised.” Piet Oudolf ("Peet Ow-dolf") quotes from the transcript: "I think every day is an experience, because there's always something you will like, and it's not only about the plants. It's also about the light and the movement. Once you touch the plants and just start to work with them, there's a big chance that you get lost in the world of plants and that you want to experience more of gardening. You can think while you're gardening. You can think about life and how to follow up after this crisis. But at least people want to go to places where I normally would go to, to gardens and to parks. And I think that people will realize that we, as human beings, need that, to feel good. What I say for people that just start gardening, I think anything that you see at the garden center that you like can be a good start — to become a serious gardener."

Important Events 1740 Today is the birthday of the explorer and botanist Jeanne Baret. Jeanne was the first woman to have circumnavigated the globe as part of the expedition, which was led by Louis Antoine de Bougainville. Beret was able to join the expedition after posing as a valet to the expedition's naturalist: Philibert Commerçon. Before the expedition, Jeanne had been employed as Commerçon's housekeeper. A few years later, his wife died, and Jeanne took over the management of the household and began a personal relationship with Commerçon. Commerçon had poor health, and it was likely that he needed Jeanne to join him on the expedition because he needed her assistance. Jeanne was an excellent botanist in her own right. When the ship stopped in Rio de Janeiro, an old leg injury prevented Commerçon from collecting specimens. Thus, it was Jeanne who ventured out into the tropics and returned with the lovely tropical vine that would be named to honor the expedition's commander: Bougainvillea. 1810 Today is the birthday of one of America's most prominent horticulturalists – Horatio Hollis Hunnewell. Horatio was staggeringly wealthy. He was a railroad financier. But he also had a lifelong love of nature and gardening. When Horatio purchased over 40 acres of land along the eastern and southern shores of Lake Waban ("Wah-bin"), he built a magnificent estate there. He had married Isabella Pratt Wells, and he decided to call his impressive home Wellesley in honor of his wife's maiden name. When it came time for the nearby town and college to settle on a name, they also chose the name Wellesley after discussing the matter with Horatio, who happened to be the most generous benefactor of the city. The Hunnewell estate was so large that when the Hunnewell children grew up, seven of the nine had homes built on the property - right next to their parent's original house. Aside from the impressive homes, Horatio added many magnificent features to the estate, including a pinetum with over 325 specimens of conifers. Hollis Honeywell made the following remark in 1899 about his trees, "No Vanderbilt, with all his great wealth, can possess one of these [trees] for the next 50 years, for could not be grown in less time than that." And, Horatio also installed the very first Topiary Garden in America at Wellesley. He referred to it as the Italian Garden, and it was ideally situated along the shore of Lake Waban. When it came to the Topiary Garden, Horatio went all out. Whenever he had guests, Horatio would have them hop aboard a large authentic Italian Gondola boat complete with an authentically dressed gondola man. After they glided up to the Topiary Gardens, they would stop and take a tour. Horatio's shores rivaled that of Lake Como in northern Italy. It's difficult to fathom how much attention this one-of-a-kind garden received from the public. Thousands of visitors from all over the country came to Wellesley just to see the topiary garden firsthand. Many more took in its beauty through photographs and engravings published in the most popular periodicals of the time. To this day — a century and a half later — the Hunnewell Topiary Garden is among the most spectacular sites in the region. There are a few stories about Horatio I discovered during my research. The first is that Horatio and his friend Nathaniel Thayer Jr. brought the game of tennis to America. The second story is that Horatio was the first person to cultivate and popularize rhododendrons In the United States. 1864 Today is the anniversary of the death of the botanist Benjamin Lincoln Robinson. In 1892, Benjamin was appointed the curator of the Asa Gray Herbarium at Harvard. When Benjamin took over, both the herbarium and the library were in dire straits. Benjamin brought in funding and expanded the herbarium. Today, the Gray Herbarium and library are still housed at Harvard at 22 Divinity Ave. In 1899, the first issue of the New England Botanical Club's journal, Rhodora, was published. And, Rhodora's first editor was Benjamin. 1881 Today is the anniversary of the death of the botanist and the father of British plant geography Hewett Cottrell Watson. In recognition of his significant contributions, the botanical society of the British Isles named their journal Watsonia. Beginning in 1834, Hewett was one of the first botanists to research plant evolution. Hewett's work also paved the way for a new science now known as ecology. When Darwin created his theory of evolution, he was standing on the shoulders of curious early evolutionists like Hewett. Darwin's popularity and success overshadowed the folks like Hewett, who came before him. Yet, it's evident that when Hewett read Darwin's Origin, his reaction was one of wonder... and also self-reflection. He spent his adult life trying to reach Darwin's conclusion. Now, as an older man, he could see the match he had lit being passed to a true torch-bringer. After reading the origin, Hewett wrote to Darwin. Hewett's letter is a part proud dad, part awed fan, and yet, he still takes time to advise Darwin on areas to improve or take heed. In two different passages, Hewett points out that Darwin had succeeded where he had stopped short, saying Darwin had figured out the quo modo or the method to knit the strings of the theory of evolution together. Hewett's letter to Darwin is quite something to read – even after all this time: 21 Nov 1859 My dear Sir Once [I started] to read the ‘Origin’ I could not rest [until] I had galloped through [all of it]. I shall now begin to re-read it more deliberately. Meantime I am tempted to write you [my] first impressions… 1st. Your leading idea will assuredly become recognized as an established truth in science, i.e. “natural selection”. (It has the characteristics of all great natural truths, clarifying what was obscure, simplifying what was intricate, adding greatly to previous knowledge). You are the greatest Revolutionist in natural history of this century, if not of all centuries. 2d. You will perhaps need … to limit or modify, ... the principle of ‘natural selection’. 3d. Now [that] these novel views are brought… before the scientific public, it seems truly remarkable how [we didn’t see them sooner].. A quarter-century ago, you & I must have [had]the same state of mind... But you were able to see & work out [the theory], … while I failed to grasp it. ... How greatly this...will shock the ideas of many men! very sincerely | Hewett C. Watson to C. Darwin | Esq. Darwin Correspondence Project, “Letter no. 2540,” accessed on 26 April 2019, http://www.darwinproject.ac.uk/DCP-LETT-2540 1895 On this day, a photo of the horticulturist and Reverend William T. Hutchins of Indian Orchard, Massachusetts, appeared in the Springfield Republican. William is remembered for his book called "All About Sweet Peas," published in 1892 by the Burpee Seed Company. Five years later, William wrote another book for Burpee calledSweet Peas Up-to-Date.William's writings were used as promo material for Burpee, and customers positively received them. Incredibly, Burpee distributed fifty thousand copies of "All About Sweet Peas." In August of 1898, The Star-Gazette out of Elmira New York reported on a talk that William had given about the history and culture of sweet pea. “Mr. Hutchins said that the flower is a native of Sicily, and is widely cultivated there, but in late years it has come into popular favor in America, and is now raised in nearly every part of the country. The speaker mentioned some of the rare varieties and told how they are obtained… He also gave a most interesting description of the gardens of Mr. Eckford in England, whose cultivation [of] about seventy-five of ...the choicest sweet peas have been given to the flower lovers of the world.” And, in 1950, Charles H. Curtis, the editor of the Gardeners' Chronicle, wrote, “Fifty years ago, a parson from Indian Orchard, Massachusetts, stood on the platform in the Lecture Hall of the Crystal Palace. He was the Rev. W. T. Hutchins, an enthusiastic grower of Sweet Peas, who had a voice as sweet and persuasive as the fragrance of his subject. I can hear him now.” One of my favorite articles featuring William was published in The Atlanta Constitution on March 31, 1991. The title of the article was "Oh, Sweet Peas, Please Climb Above My knees" and was written by Laura Martin. Laura dug up this quote by William, who said that the sweet pea has "a fragrance like the universal gospel." And, regarding the sweet pea, Laura wrote, “Finding a plant with outstanding beauty and fragrance is a treat. Many roses, of course, offer this combination, but easier and far less demanding are old-fashioned sweet peas, which will trail and climb in your garden while emitting a delicious scent. Common name: Sweet Pea . Botanical name: Lathyrus odoratus.” The Greek word lathyros means pea or pulse, and the Latin word odoratus means fragrant. Today, Japanese varieties have the most abundant blooms, and some Australian varieties are frilly. Sweet peas are a long-lasting vase flower, which makes them quite popular with florists and brides. Finally, in terms of floriography, or the language of flowers, sweet peas convey bliss and pleasure. They also mean saying goodbye after having a good time. Nothing says thank you like sweet peas. Finally, of the sweet pea, John Keats wrote: Here are sweet peas, on tiptoe for a flight; With wings of gentle flush o'er delicate white, And taper fingers catching at all things, To bind them all about with tiny rings. Unearthed Words July 27 is Take Your Houseplants for a Walk Day - a silly, light-hearted day that brought to mind these nonsense poems.

She founded the Greening of Harlem Coalition in 1989. Her efforts transformed Harlem, bringing flower gardens and green spaces to areas previously covered by concrete and neglect. It was Bernadette Cozart who said, “Instead of taking children on field trips to see farms and gardens, why not bring nature into the community? I don't think it's fair that they should have to go outside the community to have that experience of seeing things grow.”
Sección del programa de Rpa "La radio es mía" que demuestra que la modernidad es algo que viene de antiguo. Emisión del 1/6/2020, trigésima de la quinta temporada, dedicada a la botánica francesa Jeanne Baret, la primera mujer en dar la vuelta al mundo. Jeanne se introdujo en la expedición Bourganville disfrazada de hombre. Cuando la travesía estaba a mitad de camino, los nativos de Tahití se dieron cuenta de que era una mujer travestida. Jeanne y su jefe y amante Philibert Commerson fueron abandonados en la Isla Mauricio. Años después, en 1776, tras de la muerte de Commerson, Baret consiguió volver a Francia concluyendo por su cuenta la circunnavegación de la Tierra. Baret llegó a París con sus colecciones de vegetales que incluían 3000 especies desconocidas. El rey Louis XVI le dio una pensión vitalicia que dejó de cobrar con la revolución. Pese a la cantidad de especies que describió por primer vez, tuvo que esperar al siglo XXI para que una planta llevara su nombre.

Un mes más, volvemos con Sin Género de Dudas. En esta píldora podrás conocer a grandes inventoras y descubridoras: Zaha Hadid, Mignon Talbot y Jeanne Baret. ¿Te quedas a escuchar un poco sobre ellas? Nos lo cuentan Jéssica Murillo, Alba Ferrera y Tania Lezcano.
Das 18. Jahrhundert war das große Zeitalter der Entdeckungen. Nicht nur weil Immanuel Kant die Milchstraße erblickte und ein gewisser Herr Volta die Batterie erfand. Es war auch die Zeit der Schiffs-Expeditionen. Mutige Seeleute und Forscher drängte es, über die Meere zu segeln und neue Kontinente zu entdecken. Der bekannteste von ihnen ist wohl James Cook. Weniger bekannt ist, dass zeitgleich mit ihm auch eine Frau aufbrach zu einer großen Expedition: Die Französin Jeanne Baret umsegelte von 1766 bis 1769 die Welt, um die Fauna ferner Länder zu erforschen. Ein Hindernis dabei: Auf den Schiffen der französischen Marine waren Frauen gar nicht zugelassen. Wie Jeanne Baret es trotzdem schaffte, welche Abenteuer sie dabei erlebte, aber auch welchen Preis sie dafür zahlen musste – das berichtet Kerstin Burlage.
This week, we discuss your favorite reads of 2019 and talk to Dr. Glynis Ridley about her excellent book, The Discovery of Jeanne Baret. A Story of Science, the High Seas, and the First Woman to Circumnavigate the Globe. We also reveal our read-along picks for 2020 and share some of our literary goals.

Brevities #OTD Today is the anniversary of the death of the French admiral and explorer Louis Antoine de Bougainville, who died on this day in 1729. On Bougainville's expedition, a woman named Jeanne Baret joined the crew after posing as a valet to the expedition's naturalist: Philibert Commerçon. Commerçon had terrible health, and he likely needed Baret to help him. Baret herself was actually a botanist in her own right. When the ship stopped in Rio de Janeiro, it was Baret who ventured out into the tropics and returned with the lovely tropical vine that would be named to honor the expedition's commander: Bougainvillea. #OTD Today is the birthday of Johann Friedrich von Eschscholtz, who was born on this day in 1793. When the German poet Adelbert van Chamiso ended up in the San Francisco Bay area, and he wrote about the California poppy, which he named Eschscholzia California after his friend Johann Friedrich Von Eschscholz. In return, Eschscholz named a bunch of plants after Chamisso - a little quid pro quo. In 1903, the botanist Sarah Plummer Lemmon put forth a successful piece of legislation that nominated the golden poppy (Eschscholzia californica) as the state flower of California. #OTD Today is the anniversary of the death of the Landscape Architect Arthur Shurcliff who died on this day in 1957. Shurcliff's path to Landscape Architecture was not clear cut. His dad had been a successful businessman, and Arthur was supposed to follow in his dad's footsteps and become a Mechanical Engineer. But after receiving his degree from MIT, the field of Landscape Architecture was making waves thanks to the Olmsteds, Charles Eliot, and the Chicago World's Fair. Since no formal degree programs existed at the time, Shurcliff cobbled together his own curriculum at the Lawrence School of Science at Harvard. All his life, Shurcliff loved being outside. He enjoyed camping and canoeing. He loved scenery and sketching the landscape. Looking back on his decision to pursue Landscape Architecture, Shurcliff remembered, "All led me away from mechanics toward scenery, toward planning and construction for the scenes of daily life..." In 1904, Shurcliff opened his own firm. Shurcliff designed recreational spaces in and around Boston like the Rose Garden, the Washington Garden at old North, and the park Back Bay Fens. But, Shurcliff will forever be remembered for the work he did at Colonial Williamsburg. It was the first time an entire American community was to be restored. John D. Rockefeller financed the project. Shurcliff had over 30 years of experience behind him when he officially started the project on St. Patrick's Day of that year. He didn't just bring his Landscape Architecture skills; he brought everything he had; his training in engineering, his meticulousness, and his ability to get things done through his personal clarity, energy, and charm. The project would use every bit of knowledge, skills, and expertise that Shurcliff had acquired. It wasn't just the buildings that needed restoration; it was the land, the paths and streets, the gardens, and green spaces. It required tremendous research to restore it all. Shurcliff insisted that wherever possible, original items and authenticity was paramount. For example, Shurcliff's team actually went looking for "fence-post holes to ascertain the outlines of a "typical" backyard" - this was a true restoration in every sense of the word. It took Arthur Shurcliff 13 years to finish the project. But, once it was done, Shurcliff had redefined Williamsburg; helping it to lay claim to it's past and ensuring that Colonial Revival garden design found legitimacy in 20th Century Landscape Architecture. #OTD On this day in 1972 that The Greenville News shared an article called Orchidist Finds Hobby Versatile. The orchidologist was Gilbert L. Campbell. At the time the article was published, Campbell had been collecting orchids for six years, and he had amassed a collection of more than 300 plants in addition to a library of orchid reference materials. Campbell recalled, "My first orchid was a gift,' and it led him to visit a commercial orchidologist in Newberry for more information. Orchid lovers grow orchids all year long, and his passion led him to add greenhouses to help with his hobby. Campbell said, "Some orchidologists do grow their flowers in their homes... but he advises against it. 'Growing an orchid is like being a fisherman,' he says. 'Some fishermen may be content to sit on the bank and fish, but most want to get out in a boat on the lake. It's a lot easier to grow orchids in a greenhouse.' He cites temperature and humidity control as one major benefit of growing the tropic blooms "under glass." As for why Campbell had two greenhouses, his answer was simple. "He has the two, he says, because he needs a "cool" house for his cymbidium orchids and a "medium" house for his cattleyas. In "orchidese" this means a temperature difference of 5- 10 degrees. A "medium" house, he says, has a minimum temperature of 55 to 60 degrees, and a "cool" house, a minimum of 45-50 degrees. Campbell also advocates fresh air for the plants, which he moves outside in summer and on balmy days throughout the winter. "Orchids, like people, do best in a spring-like fresh-feeling atmosphere," The two things which cause growers the most difficulty, he believes, are proper watering of plants and placement for best performance." When a plant ceases to function properly, it is vulnerable to insects and disease," he notes, adding that his constant problem, snails, crops up periodically. To help combat problems, he makes these recommendations: For the beginner, start with a few mature plants. Orchids like dry roots, so they should be watered thoroughly, then allowed to dry out." #OTD Today is the anniversary of the death of the Spanish rose breeder Pedro Dot who died on this day in 1976. As a young boy, Pedro learned about plants from his father, who was a highly regarded gardener and plant breeder. The estate where his father worked, grew roses and the Marquise of the estate funded Pedro's early work in hybridizing. Dot is remembered for his white rose, which came out in 1927. It was called Nevada and is named for its color. Nevada is the Spanish word for "snowy." The British rosarian, Peter Beales, called 'Nevada' one of the best-known semi-double shrub roses. The American horticulturist and professor, Dr. Griffith Buck, taught horticulture at Iowa State University, and he created over 80 cultivars of rose. When Buck wanted to name one of his roses after Pedro Dot, he reached out to his son. He wrote: “I wanted to name a rose after Pedro Dot, a famous Spanish rose breeder who supported me in my breeding. I wrote to Pedro’s son, telling him that I would like to name this rose for his father. I told him I knew his father was very proud of being a Spaniard who was also proud of being a Catalonian. His son replied, “If you are going to name it for my father, why don’t you name it in Catalonian and call it ‘El Catala.’” “ which I did.” #OTD On this day in 1972, the Greenville News shared that the American Rose Society had chosen Pat Nixon to be their patroness. "Mrs. Richard M. Nixon recently accepted an invitation to become the first patroness of the American Rose Society on the invitation of Dr. Eldon W. Lyle, president of the group. She was presented with a brass gilded vase of 24 porcelain roses to commemorate the occasion. The Garden Party roses were created by Mrs. Oscar Tilleaux." Unearthed Words "Two sounds of autumn are unmistakable, the hurrying rustle of crisp leaves blown along the street or road by a gusty wind, and the gabble of a flock of migrating geese. Both are warnings of chill days ahead, fireside, and topcoat weather." - Hal Borland, Naturalist "The wind that makes music in November corn is in a hurry. The stalks hum, the loose husks whisk skyward in half-playing swirls, and the wind hurries on... A tree tries to argue, bare limbs waving, but there is no detaining the wind." - Aldo Leopold, Ecologist "It is autumn; not without But within me is the cold. Youth and spring are all about; It is I that have grown old." - Henry Wadsworth Longfellow, Autumn Within It's time to Grow That Garden Library with today's book: Herbal Tea Gardens by Marietta Marshall Marcin Create your own herbal tea garden! This inspiring guide covers everything you need to know to grow herbs and use them in homemade tea blends successfully. Providing plans for 22 themed tea gardens, Marietta Marshall Marcin offers expert tips for growing and harvesting a variety of common herbs. Clear directions for more than 100 recipes include Flu Brew, Double Green Digestive, and Women’s Energizing Tonic. Before you know it, you’ll be creating enticing herbal teas to suit every occasion. At the beginning of the book, Marcin shares the Chinese legend of the tea plant. The White Buddha known as Ta' Mo would sit in his garden near the place and meditate through all the seasons: spring, summer, autumn, and winter. The White Buddha would meditate unblinking and unsleeping. Finally, after many years, His attention wavered, his chin dropped, and his eyes closed in sleep. When the White Buddha awakened - Perhaps a day or year later - he was so angry with himself for neglecting his meditation that he took out a knife's life, sliced off both his eyelids and threw them on the ground. The Saint's eyelids took root in the fertile soil and grew into a tea bush, the symbol for wakefulness.

Today's Garden Chore Now is the perfect time to pot up some Paperwhite or Amaryllis bulbs for forcing this winter. Paperwhites (Narcissus papyraceus) and Amaryllis (Hippeastrumspp.), make great gifts and to your holiday décor. One of my favorite Christmas mantles over the fireplace featured a row of these large silver goblets that I used to pot up Paperwhites. Along the feet of the goblets, I strung Christmas lights, and on top of the mantle, I had laid a sheet of moss. It was such a gardener's holiday mantle. Something Sweet Reviving the little botanic spark in your heart #OTD Today is the anniversary of the death of Mavis Batey, who died at the age of 92 on this day in 2013. Mavis Batey is remembered for her work with the Enigma research team. Mavis broke the German Enigma code, which allowed the Allied forces to stage their D-Day invasion. In 1955, Mavis and her husband settled on a farm in Surrey. It was here that Mavis began learning about Landscape history. After Surrey, the Bateys moved to Oxford and lived on a park designed by Capability Brown. The park was also home to a garden designed by William Mason in 1775. Mavis recalled: "We lived in the agent's house, right in the middle of a Capability Brown park, but it was William Mason's garden that really got me. We had to cut our way into it. It was all overgrown and garden ornaments were buried in the grass, but I knew at once it wasn't just an ordinary derelict garden: someone had tried to say something there, I knew at once it wasn't just an ordinary derelict garden: someone had tried to say something there." It wouldn't be the last garden Mavis Batey saved. In 1986 Mavis was honored with the Veitch Memorial Medal for her work, preserving gardens that would otherwise have been lost to time. Thanks for listening to the daily gardener, and remember: "For a happy, healthy life, garden every day."
Baret was the first woman known to circumnavigate the globe. But her experience wasn’t just about the travel – she was working, and her work took her to places that were totally unexpected for someone of her gender and economic class in the 18th century.

One of the things I love to do at the end of spending time in my garden is to make some tussie mussies. Tussie mussies are also called nosegays or posies; they are small flower bouquets typically given as a gift. Mine are pretty small - with cuttings no longer than 6 inches. I like the charm of these little tussie mussies. They are super fun to drop off by someone's mailbox or simply to set down near the register of your favorite barista. They look perfect when placed on top of a book or added to the top of a gift-wrapped package. Irene Deitsch wrote a book called Tussie Mussies a few years ago and she explained the etymology of the word tussie mussie - which I found quite helpful. “A ‘tussie’ is a nosegay, which is a Middle English word for a small group of flowers held together in a little bouquet. 'Mussie’ refers to the moss that was moistened and put around the stems of the flowers to keep them from wilting. That’s why they’re called tussie-mussies.” Brevities #OTD Today is the anniversary of the death of Jeanne Baret who died on this day in 1807. Baret was the first woman to have circumnavigated the world as part of the expedition which was led by Louis Antoine de Bougainville. Beret was able to join the expedition after posing as a valet to the expedition's naturalist: Philibert Commerçon. Before the expedition, Baret had been employed as Commerçon's housekeeper. A few years later his wife died and Baret took over the management of the household in addition to having a personal relationship with Commerçon. Commerçon had poor health and it was likely that he needed Baret to join him on the expedition because he needed her assistance. Baret herself was actually a botanist herself and her own right. When the ship stopped in Rio de Janeiro, an old leg injury prevented Commerçon from collecting specimens. Thus , it was Baret who ventured out into the tropics and returned with the lovely tropical vine that would be named to honor the expedition's commander: Bougainvillea. #OTD It’s the birthday of Frederick William Calcut Paxford who was born on this day in 1898. Paxford was CS Lewis's gardener from 1930 until Lewis' death in 1963. Paxford was the inspiration for Puddleglum; the marsh Weigle and the silver chair in the chronicles of Narnia where Puddleglum was described as, “an inwardly optimistic, outwardly pessimistic, dear, frustrating, shrewd countryman of immense integrity.“ Paxford and Lewis were the same age. However, Paxford had served during World War I, and he had been gassed as a soldier. Nearly a decade after the war, Lewis bought his property in Oxfordshire called the Kilns. When Paxford was hired, he spent many years preparing the grounds. He leveled the lawn in front of the house. He set out flowers and a Rose arbor. He established both an orchard and a vegetable garden. and he helped raise rabbits and chickens. Lewis called Paxford, “our indispensable factotum” (A factotem is an employee who does all kinds of tasks.) Meanwhile, Paxford always referred to Sinclair Lewis as "Mr. Jack". Here are a few of Paxford's memories about Lewis: "Mr. Jack loved the trees and would not have a tree cut down or lopped. When we had to take some [branches] to make a rose trellis, we had to get them when he was away for a few days and cover up the cuts with mud so that they would not be seen." Paxford lived in a little private Bungalow in the garden and he stayed there for 33 years. When Lewis died, Paxford was only bequeathed 100 pounds. To which he replied, "Well, it won’t take me far, will it?" #OTD Today is the anniversary of the death of Candice Wheeler who died on this day in 1923. Candice Wheeler is often called "the mother of interior design". In addition to design, Wheeler loved gardening and she helped create the artist community of Onteora. Onteora was known for its unique homes and gardens. In its prime, it was a summer colony teaming with artists set in New York’s Catskill Mountains. Wheeler’s garden was known as Wildmuir. Wildmuir had wonderful lawn, specimen rhododendrons, laurels, and evergreen trees. In the 1920s, Wildmuir was updated by Harold Caparn, who designed the Brooklyn Botanic Gardens. Like Martha Stewart, Candice Wheeler was multitalented. Her publishing credits include a variety of books; from How to Make Rugsto Content in a Garden. Content in a Gardenis partly an essay and partly a guide as to what can be grown in a small space. Wheeler wrote from her own experiences. In a 1923 newspaper advertisement for the book, the reviewer wrote that Candice Wheeler and her daughter, Dora Wheeler Keith, "are thoroughly in sympathy with nature, of which the former writes as charmingly as the latter illustrates it." And it was Candace Wheeler who said, "One of the most perfect and unfailing joys of life is planting. It is the creative joy felt by God." Unearthed Words Today, we honor the poetry of Wendell Erdman Barry, an American author whose extraordinary nature poetry grew out of his experiences as a farmer. Barry is responsible for so many wonderful quotes and poems. It was difficult to pick just a few. Here are some of my favorites: "Eating is an agricultural act." "Better than any argument is to rise at dawn and pick dew-wet red berries in a cup." “Whether we and our politicians know it or not, Nature is party to all our deals and decisions, and she has more votes, a longer memory, and a sterner sense of justice than we do.” “I don't believe that grief passes away. It has its time and place forever. More time is added to it; it becomes a story within a story. But grief and griever alike endure.” Today's book recommendation: The Herb Garden Cookbook by Lucinda Hutson Southern Livingsaid this about Lucinda Hutson's book: "Lucinda Hutson’s garden is something of a legend in Austin. An invitation from Lucinda, an authority on ethnic herbs and an accomplished cook, to sample a new dish or special punch in her flamboyant setting is a guaranteed fiesta. . . . And her gusto for entertaining and cooking is exemplified in her recipes [in] The Herb Garden Cookbook." If you’ve ever wondered what to do with all the herbs growing in your garden, Hutson‘s book will be an inspiration for you. This book was published back in 2003, but it is a classic. You can get used copies on Amazon using the link provided in today's show notes for under three dollars. Today's Garden Chore Now is the time to start pansy seed for fall color to your beds and containers and window boxes. Pansies can handle cooler temperatures. When your geraniums and begonias and other summer bloomers are starting to get leggy and spent, pansies are nice way to add a dash of color with their adorable little faces. If you look closely at pansies, you’ll see that their petals are heart-shaped and they overlap. Despite their sweet faces, pansies are tough. They will survive a frost. They can bounce back from single-digit temperatures (which I think is incredible). And remember, pansies love morning sun the best - they're not thrilled with hot afternoon sun. They're too cool for that. Just a heads up: Pansy seed can be finicky and slow going, so check out some YouTube videos for germination tips to ensure success. Something Sweet Reviving the little botanic spark in your heart On this day in 1998, The Province out of Vancouver, British Columbia shared an article written by Peter Clough that caught my attention. The title was called Hydrangea Fest Yanked by Rootsand began with the sentence, "It’s a blooming shame." Here’s what it said: "Saturday was supposed to be the inaugural SurreyWhite Rock Hydrangea Blossom Festival. For organizer Elaine Cramer, it was going to be the realization of a dream she's had for 15 years to bring a world-class floral parade to the Lower Mainland. Now it's not going to happen; not this year at least. After months of planning, the parade has been cancelled. [...] Elaine is no novice when it comes to hydrangeas. She actually studied them at university. Her garden's home to several varieties. [Elaine] says Surrey was equally enthusiastic. In fact, she says, it was Mayor Doug McCallum who convinced her that the best route through Surrey was 152nd Street. So she was a little shocked two weeks ago when she sat down before the city's special-events committee to be told by chairwoman Council Judy Higginbotham that her permit had been denied. She's been working with Surrey officials for more than a year and only now does she learn of the problem. Elaine and her 30 volunteers plan to give away more than 10,000 hydrangea bushes between now and October with next year's parade in mind. That's if she can get a permit." Thanks for listening to the daily gardener, and remember: "For a happy, healthy life, garden every day."
The first woman to circumnavigate the world did so dressed as a man. In 1766, 26-year-old Jeanne Baret joined a French expedition hoping to conceal her identity for three years. In this week's episode of the Futility Closet podcast we'll tell the story of her historic journey around the globe. We'll also hear Mark Twain's shark story and puzzle over a foiled con artist.

In 1767, a young French servant boarded a ship and sailed around the world, collecting plants previously unknown to Western science. The ship’s crew knew the servant as “Jean,” the scrappy aide to the expedition’s botanist. But “Jean” had a secret. She was actually Jeanne Baret, a woman disguised as a man—and she was about to make botanical history. Annie and Elah recently told this story for a live audience at On Air Fest. Here are some of the pictures from that talk. There are, of course, no photos of Jeanne Baret, but we do have this portrait of her as imagined by an unknown artist a few years after her death.

Con mayor demora de la habitual, os traemos el programa de esta semana. Programa cargado de valerosas mujeres, auténticas pioneras que desafiaron la imaginación del mismísimo Julio Verne. Y es que os vamos a hablar de tres aventureras que recorrieron el mundo en tiempos en que semejante hazaña era terreno vedado para una mujer. Se trata de Jeanne Baret, botánica francesa que tiene el honor de ser, que sepamos, la primera mujer en circunnavegar el mundo y de Nelly Bly, precursora del periodismo de investigación que fue llamada por Joseph Pulitzer a completar la vuelta al mundo en menos de 80 días, emulando al famoso Phileas Phogg de la novela de Verne. Pero además, por competir con esta última para lograr el mismo objetivo, conoceremos a Elizabeth Bisland, otra periodista que se enfrentó al mismo desafío pero en sentido contrario. Pero también contaremos con más ingredientes, pero hay uno que no os queremos desvelar, por lo que os invitamos a conocer la sorpresa preparada por nuestro bibliotecario mayor. Finalmente, recuperaremos el audio de Una Antropóloga en la Luna dedicado a las brujas, donde abordábamos las teorías de las escritora Silvia Federici.

Jeanne Baret was the first woman to circumnavigate the globe despite it being illegal for women to board French Navy vessels in 1766. When Bougainville was commissioned to sail around the world, he asked renowned botanist Philibert Commerson to join him. Commerson couldn't leave behind his lover and assistant, Jeanne, so they disguised her as a teenage boy...everything was going to plan until they arrived in Tahiti.
Jeder kennt die Namen Ferdinand Magellan, James Cook, Francis Drake. Wie hiess aber die erste Frau, die die Welt umrundete? Ihrem aufregenden Leben gehen wir in dieser neuen Episode nach. Sounds: Freesounds.org
00:00:00 - Kelly tell us about the fascinating world of kleptoparasites, specifically silverfish that hide inside ant colonies with chemical mimicry. Patrick and Ryan interrupt. 00:14:55 - Drinks also use chemicals, and they hide inside your glass until attacking your mouth. Patrick picked Kona's Coffee Porter, he's been there before, and he'll go back again. Kelly also chooses an old favorite in Great Lake's Edmund Fitzgerald. And finally, Ryan has brought something back from the slopes of Park City with his glass of Bourye whiskey. 00:20:10 - The Paleopals bring aboard blogger and Tolkien scholar Juliana to help discuss this week's trailer: The Hobbit. It may be a long ways off, but the doesn't prevent excitement now. 00:36:08 - Botany on the high seas sounds hard enough, but try doing it as a woman dressed as a man aboard a ship full of men. And you have to share a room with the captain. What sounds like a potential comedy is actually the true history of Jeanne Baret, only recently recognized for the woman and scientist that she was. Check out the book, The Discovery of Jeanne Baret, for much more info on this interesting discovery. 00:45:11 - PaleoPOWs are a lot like cross-dressing. There's a time and a place for both. Ryan rings in the new year with an iTunes review from LA Stern. Kelly has a donation from Nena. THANKS, NENA! And Patrick promises Randy H. a hair update. Thanks for listening! Be sure to check out the blog, Paleocave.com, and see if it keeps to that resolution.
