Remembering Jane: a conversation with Jane Goodall on her storied careerScience lost a unique pioneering figure this week. Jane Goodall — primatologist, conservationist and activist — died at the age of 91. In 2002, she visited the Quirks & Quarks studio to talk with Bob McDonald ahead of the Canadian launch of her IMAX film Jane Goodall's Wild Chimpanzees. Bob and Jane spoke about how a girl growing up in urban England developed a love for animals, why scientists critical of her work were wrong, and how she was able to get close to the wild chimpanzees in Gombe Stream National Park. Scientists can predict what colour a person is looking at based on brain activityScientists can predict what colour a person is looking at based on brain activityDo you see what I see? New research says you do. Using brain imaging technology, scientists were able to predict what colour a person was looking at by reading their brain activity. This suggests that everyone responds essentially the same way to certain colours. Michael Bannert, a postdoctoral student at Tuebingen University in Germany, led the research published in the Journal of Neuroscience.A Mars rover spots strong evidence of ancient life on the red planetEarlier this month, NASA revealed that their Perseverance rover gathered what could be the strongest evidence yet that life may have existed on Mars. Using the rover's scientific instruments, scientists identified two minerals in an ancient river that they say are most often found as a result of microbial life here on Earth. They also set aside a sample for a future return mission. Joel Hurowitz, a geologist at Stony Brook University, says he can't wait to get the sample back to Earth to find out if it truly is a sign of life. It was published in the journal Nature.Life at the limits: searching for 'Intraterrestrial' life deep within the Earth's crustA new book explores the latest research into the search for life deep inside the Earth, where the sun doesn't shine and oxygen doesn't reach. Scientists travel to some of the most geologically dangerous regions of our planet to understand how life forms in extreme environments, and answer deep questions like the origin of life on Earth and what life might be like off of our planet. Karen Lloyd, a subsurface biogeochemist from the University of Southern California, is the author of Intraterrestrials: Discovering the Strangest Life On Earth.

Casey Dreyer, Director of Space Policy at the Planetary Society, joined us in our Space Show Zoom room to discuss the proposed 2026 NASA budget. He criticized the budget as unprecedented, “unstrategic,” and damaging—highlighting a historic 25% cut that could cancel numerous missions and projects. Casey stressed that the budget breaks the Artemis consensus, cuts scientific research, and threatens NASA's workforce. He dismissed the possibility of significant internal savings, arguing that most mission costs are tied to personnel and would require major structural reform. Casey suggested the budget proposal reflected a broader shift in U.S. priorities away from science and questioned the lack of clear space policy leadership from the White House. He attributed the budget's anti-science stance more to Rust Vought of OMB than Elon Musk and noted that NASA was excluded from key budget conversations due to the absence of a confirmed administrator.The group discussed how budget cuts affect commercial space activity and NASA's ability to support it. Casey emphasized the importance of long-term commitments to programs like Artemis to sustain a commercial space economy. While some companies remain successful, many are shifting focus toward defense contracts due to market and funding uncertainties. Zoom participant Phil proposed reframing NASA's mission in terms of national competition with China to align with current political priorities. Casey agreed that emphasizing competition with China might be effective but warned against undermining NASA's nonpartisan image. He noted that while public support exists for NASA's science missions—such as climate observation and planetary defense—human spaceflight to the Moon or Mars is less popular.Casey also addressed potential solutions, including advocating for a supplemental budget or stronger congressional resistance. Zoom listener John H suggested a continuing resolution (CR) may be the most likely outcome, given Senate voting requirements and ongoing reconciliation bill discussions. Casey explained that while a CR might appear manageable, the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) could impose harmful restrictions through aggressive executive interpretation.In discussing congressional prospects, Casey was skeptical about swift action due to a narrow Republican majority and competing legislative priorities. He warned that inaction could have severe consequences and reiterated the importance of public and congressional engagement.The conversation turned to the role of the National Space Council and the implications of JD Vance's leadership. Casey expressed concerns about the lack of strategic guidance and the administration's failure to advocate its own space policy vision. He emphasized the need for policy alternatives to reduce reliance on a single contractor—namely SpaceX—and criticized the current vulnerability of programs like the Space Launch System (SLS).When asked about China's potential to reach the Moon first, Casey speculated that it could lead to a symbolic loss for the U.S., though the political response remains uncertain. He stressed that the administration's lack of public advocacy for NASA's goals is damaging and that human spaceflight's popularity depends heavily on its visibility and perceived success.In closing, Casey described the Planetary Society's advocacy efforts, highlighting their independent and aggressive campaign against the proposed cuts. He reaffirmed the importance of preserving NASA's nonpartisan reputation while pushing for restored funding. He also mentioned an upcoming podcast episode on the NASA budget featuring guests from the Commercial Spaceflight Federation (CSF) and the American Geophysical Union (AGU). The group agreed to remain engaged and offer support to help reverse the budget cuts.Listeners and viewers, much more was discussed during the 1 hour 16 minutes with Casey so be sure to either watch all of the video or listen to all of the audio. We were joined in the Zoom room by Space Show Advisory Board members Bill Gowan, John Jossy, John Hunt, A.J. Kothari, and Dr. Phil Swan. Many more questions were asked of Casey including my end of the program for Casey and/or the Planetary Society to create an alternate budget to use in working to move away from the proposed skinny budget. Such an alternate budget by those who know and are familiar with space, science and NASA would also be a terrific and relevant handout to members of congress, staffers and even the president and his office. I hope Casey and his associates follow through on this suggestion.

Please note that both the video and the audio of this program are archived on our Substack page, doctorspace.substack.com. I strongly recommend you watch the video version.We introduced Dr. Ersilia Vaudo, an astrophysicist and author from Paris with a 30-year career at ESA, including roles overseeing relations with NASA. He mentions her book and asks about her background in space and her motivation for writing her book, “The Story of Astrophysics in Five Revolutions.” Our guest started us of by sharing her journey into physics and astrophysics, describing how her early interest in science was nurtured by her family and experiences in nature. She explained that her decision to study physics was motivated by a desire to understand the universe and feel empowered by knowledge. Vaudo emphasizes the transformative nature of studying physics, as it challenges one's preconceptions and experiences. When asked if she saw the Moon landings live on TV, she expressed more interest in the scientific aspects of space exploration rather than the adventure itself. Vaudo also discussed her book on astrophysics, which aims to share the wonder of the field with a general audience by connecting historical events and scientific revolutions.Our discussion covered several key developments in cosmology and physics. Vaudo outlines five major revolutions (her book title) in our understanding of the universe: Newton's unification of terrestrial and celestial physics through gravity, Einstein's special and general relativity theories, Hubble's discovery of the expanding universe, and Dirac's contributions to quantum mechanics. I mentioned a recent theory challenge on a current Hotel Mars program to the Big Bang model, suggesting we might be inside a black hole. Vaudo emphasizes the importance of keeping an open mind to new theories while maintaining a focus on experimental evidence.Vaudo discussed the five revolutions covered in his book, ending with the discovery of antimatter. She explained that modern scientific revolutions often involve teams rather than individual scientists, making storytelling today more challenging. John Jossy asked why dark matter and dark energy weren't included as a sixth revolution. Vaudo said that these topics were addressed in the book's final chapter, describing them as mysteries still being explored. She emphasized that dark energy, in particular, remains a fascinating enigma in our understanding of the universe.Vaudo discussed the challenges in science education and research, highlighting the growing impatience for quick answers and the increasing difficulty in generating new ideas. She emphasized the importance of mathematics as a critical thinking tool and suggests starting math education early to reduce anxiety. Vaudo shares his experience with an association that brings hands-on science experiments to disadvantaged areas, noting how this approach sparks curiosity and engagement in children. She also stressed the need for more experiential learning in primary schools to foster interest in science and mathematics.Dr. Vaudo discussed the influence of Galileo on the history of science and astronomy. She highlighted Galileo's contributions, including his use of the telescope, his intuition about the speed of light, and his pioneering work on relativity. Vaudo emphasized Galileo's bravery in challenging consensus and risking resistance to bring new ideas forward. The conversation touched on topics such as inflation theory, dark energy, and the role of funding in scientific exploration. Vaudo mentioned the importance of investing in science, noting that even basic research can lead to significant practical benefits in the future.Special thanks to our sponsors:Northrup Grumman, American Institute of Aeronautics and Astronautics, Helix Space in Luxembourg, Celestis Memorial Spaceflights, Astrox Corporation, Dr. Haym Benaroya of Rutgers University, The Space Settlement Progress Blog by John Jossy, The Atlantis Project, and Artless EntertainmentOur Toll Free Line for Live Broadcasts: 1-866-687-7223For real time program participation, email Dr. Space at: drspace@thespaceshow.comThe Space Show is a non-profit 501C3 through its parent, One Giant Leap Foundation, Inc.

The Space Show hosted a discussion with Dr. Saralyn Mark, focusing on space medicine, human spaceflight, and the challenges of long-duration space travel. The conversation covered topics such as the impact of space on human health, advancements in space technology, and the potential for space research to benefit medical treatments on Earth. Dr. Mark emphasized the importance of international collaboration, ethical considerations, and continued funding for space exploration to address challenges and unlock new possibilities for human health and space colonization.Dr. Saralyn Mark was welcomed to the Space Show. We began by highlighting her extensive background in medicine and space exploration. Dr. Mark shared her journey from childhood dreams of becoming an astronaut to pursuing a medical career, eventually combining both passions through her work with NASA and her private company, Solamed Solutions. They discussed the challenges she faced as a woman in medicine and space, emphasizing the importance of women in these fields. The conversation also touched on the impact of space travel on human health, particularly in relation to osteoporosis research.David and Sara discussed the advancements and challenges in space medicine, highlighting the integration of space technology into everyday life and the need for public education about space benefits. Dr. Saralyn emphasized the progress made in keeping astronauts healthy in space, despite the risks, and predicted further advancements with precision innovation. They also discussed the relevance of space medicine to human health on Earth, with Dr. Saralyn noting that space provides a unique platform for understanding and addressing health issues on both fronts.Our guest discussed the challenges and ethical considerations of sending children into space, highlighting the risks and the need for further research on the effects of space travel on human development. She emphasized the importance of developing technologies and protocols not only for current astronauts but also for future generations who may travel to other planets. She also addressed concerns about children's health today, noting issues such as type 2 diabetes, obesity, and the impact of fast food on health, as well as the emerging problem of long Covid, which can lead to chronic conditions affecting multiple body systems.We both talked about the importance of space research in understanding human biology and potential treatments, highlighting how space can serve as a platform for studying the immune system, aging, and medication effects. She emphasized that cutting funding for space research would hinder future discoveries and advancements. The conversation touched on the need for tailored countermeasures to reverse aging effects observed in space and the importance of continued research funding.In addition, the discussion focused on the challenges and opportunities of space colonization, particularly on Mars with its 38% Earth gravity. Dr. Saralyn explained that while we have data on microgravity and Earth gravity, we need specialized facilities to study partial gravity effects on human health, with new labs being developed near Orlando and other locations. She outlined three verticals for her company Soloman Solutions: consultancy, education through space explorer summits, and operational medicine to support space missions. David raised questions about the commercial space industry's role and the potential for 3D printing and tissue replication in space to lead to medical breakthroughs on Earth, to which she responded that while these technologies are promising for the future, they are not likely to become mainstream anytime soon.Dr. Mark discussed the importance of nutrition in space, highlighting that while it's crucial for both mental and physical health, space environments present unique challenges such as irradiation of food and changes in smell and taste due to fluid shifts. She explained that astronauts need to exercise 2-2.5 hours daily to maintain muscle and bone mass, and commercial space programs like Starlab are partnering with companies like Hilton to develop food solutions that are both nutritious on Earth and space compatible. Dr. Saralyn noted that while astronauts typically regain their sense of smell and taste upon returning to Earth, maintaining a balanced diet in space requires careful consideration of cultural preferences and the need for enjoyable meals.Near the end of the program, we both talked about the feasibility and challenges of sending humans to Mars, including the need for international collaboration, technological advancements, and ethical considerations around gene modification for space travel. They explored the potential benefits and risks of modifying human genes to enhance health in space, emphasizing the importance of careful regulation and ethical oversight. Sara mentioned ongoing efforts to simulate space environments on Earth and the psychological challenges of long-duration space travel, such as isolation and delays in communication. They also addressed the question of gender differences in space adaptation, noting that while women may have certain advantages, diversity in crew composition leads to better team dynamics and outcomes.In response to a listener question, Sara discussed the potential of hibernation-like states for long-duration space travel, highlighting ongoing research and challenges such as waking up and preventing cellular damage. She also addressed the impact of solar and galactic radiation on space missions, suggesting solutions like better shelters and nutraceuticals to protect astronauts. Ajay raised concerns about simulating partial gravity on Earth, and Dr. Saralyn mentioned new technologies being developed for this purpose. The discussion concluded with our guest emphasizing the need for global collaboration in space exploration and her hope to see a united effort to thrive on and beyond Earth.Special thanks to our sponsors:Northrup Grumman, American Institute of Aeronautics and Astronautics, Helix Space in Luxembourg, Celestis Memorial Spaceflights, Astrox Corporation, Dr. Haym Benaroya of Rutgers University, The Space Settlement Progress Blog by John Jossy, The Atlantis Project, and Artless EntertainmentOur Toll Free Line for Live Broadcasts: 1-866-687-7223For real time program participation, email Dr. Space at: drspace@thespaceshow.comThe Space Show is a non-profit 501C3 through its parent, One Giant Leap Foundation, Inc.

Please note that there were audio and technical difficulties with this program My apologies.Dr. Karen Lloyd, author of INTRATERRESTRIALS: Discovering The Strangest Life On Earth, was our guest for this 63-minute program. We explored a variety of strange life forms that she has studied using deep-sea submersibles such as ALVIN. Although we did touch on some land-based life later in the program, most of our discussion focused on organisms found several hundred to several thousand feet below the ocean surface.Early in the conversation, I asked Karen about DNA differences between these deep-sea organisms and surface creatures. She reminded us that her research primarily involves single-celled microbial life, but noted that their DNA is not drastically different from that of more familiar organisms.As a former scuba diver in my younger years, I asked several questions about the experience of deep-sea diving in mini-subs: the technology involved, the comfort level (or lack thereof), visibility, and the challenges of discovering and retrieving samples for study. Karen also shared insights about the crew—typically just three people per dive in ALVIN—the duration of these dives, and the training required to participate. One key takeaway was that many samples are collected from seafloor mud, as the life forms are too small to be seen with the naked eye.Despite ongoing audio issues during the broadcast, we received several excellent listener questions. One listener asked whether the organisms Karen studies are considered extremophiles—a topic we've discussed before on TSS. Don't miss her answer—it may surprise you. Another caller inquired about any commercial applications for her research or for the microbial life itself. Karen took time to name some of the organisms currently being studied, so listen closely for those details.A listener also raised concerns about ocean pollution and its impact on these life forms. While most of the organisms live too deep to be directly affected, Karen did discuss the broader dangers of plastic and other pollution, stressing that we should take these issues more seriously.Later in the program, we tackled a complex question about whether climate change is affecting these deep-sea environments. Karen gave a detailed response that's worth hearing in full. I also asked if microbial life differs across the world's oceans. While there is some diversity, she explained that the microbes are generally quite similar across different marine environments. She was also asked about microbial life in freshwater lakes, but noted that this is not a primary focus of her research.As the discussion continued, I asked Karen about the potential benefits to humans from studying these life forms. Her response was thoughtful and informative—another part of the program you won't want to miss. Before wrapping up, we discussed how these microorganisms contribute to oxygen production. I mentioned that I thought trees were responsible for that, and Karen explained the significant differences. She emphasized how essential deep-ocean microbial life is to sustaining human life with some good examples.Karen dives into all of this and much more in her book, which is an excellent and engaging read. She shares vivid stories that help readers appreciate the science and the importance of this research. While we did experience some audio issues during the show, I encourage you to listen to the entire interview and consider reading her book. This is a truly important subject that deserves our attention.Special thanks to our sponsors:Northrup Grumman, American Institute of Aeronautics and Astronautics, Helix Space in Luxembourg, Celestis Memorial Spaceflights, Astrox Corporation, Dr. Haym Benaroya of Rutgers University, The Space Settlement Progress Blog by John Jossy, The Atlantis Project, and Artless EntertainmentOur Toll Free Line for Live Broadcasts: 1-866-687-7223For real time program participation, email Dr. Space at: drspace@thespaceshow.comThe Space Show is a non-profit 501C3 through its parent, One Giant Leap Foundation, Inc.

Summary is upcoming

John and I welcomed Dr. Enrique Gaztañaga from the University of Portsmouth in the UK. Dr. Gaztañaga presented an alternative theory of the universe that challenges the established Big Bang model. Since the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) came online, observations have raised questions about the standard Big Bang theory—questions that Dr. Gaztañaga has been at the forefront of addressing through his new theoretical framework, which is still under active investigation and referred to as the Black Hole Universe Theory.As you listen to this two-part program, we encourage you to visit Dr. Gaztañaga's excellent website at https://darkcosmos.com for more details and a comprehensive list of his published articles. You can also read his latest peer-reviewed work in Physical Review D.To briefly summarize from his website: “The Big Bang was not the start of everything, but rather the outcome of a gravitational collapse that formed a very massive black hole — followed by a bounce inside.

We welcomed Dr. Robert Bishop of Texas A&M University to The Space Show for a wide-ranging discussion on space exploration, technology, and education—highlighting Texas A&M's expanding leadership in space science, engineering, and research.After introducing the program and reminding listeners that The Space Show is a nonprofit, listener-supported initiative, I welcomed our guest, Dr. Robert Bishop, Vice Chancellor and Dean of Engineering at Texas A&M. Dr. Bishop began by outlining the university's major space and science research initiatives. While state-supported, he explained, much of the research is funded through contracts and grants from NASA, the National Science Foundation (NSF), and other agencies. A key development is a new 400,000-square-foot research facility under construction near NASA's Johnson Space Center, featuring simulated lunar and Martian environments for both academic and industry use.Dr. Bishop addressed concerns about potential federal science funding cuts. He expressed confidence in adapting through more efficient funding models, such as forming a 501(c)(3) and expanding contract-based research. He emphasized that contracts should supplement—not replace—traditional grant funding, especially for open-ended basic research. He also called for a reevaluation of indirect cost structures to better sustain future research.We explored Texas A&M's national security-related research, including work in cybersecurity, hypersonics, and space defense. Dr. Bishop underscored the university's partnerships with federal and military organizations and emphasized the need to safeguard critical infrastructure amid rising global competition in space. He expressed concern about the uncertain future of U.S. space dominance.Dr. Bishop also introduced the TAMU Spirit platform, developed by Aegis Aerospace, which will host up to 12 experiments every six months aboard the International Space Station (ISS). While acknowledging the ISS's limited remaining operational timeline, he confirmed that contingency planning is underway for future commercial platforms.On space launch, I raised concerns about reliance on SpaceX and recent Starship test failures. Dr. Bishop noted that launch systems fall outside his expertise but acknowledged the importance of diversified infrastructure.We discussed Texas A&M's new space engineering program, which began as a master's degree in Fall 2023 and will expand to a bachelor's program in Fall 2024. The program integrates disciplines such as agriculture, architecture, and public policy, with a focus on sustaining human life on the Moon and Mars. While the university is not involved in space medicine or weapons research, it conducts foundational research in hypersonics and maintains active collaborations with astronauts and researchers at JSC.Our conversation also touched on the broader Texas space ecosystem, with contributions from UT Austin, Rice, and Baylor. Dr. Bishop emphasized the importance of interdisciplinary research—including studies on the environmental impact of space exploration and the use of small modular nuclear reactors for lunar power. In response to a listener question, he noted that while A&M is not currently working on space-based solar power, they are actively researching nuclear technologies for both Earth and space applications.Dr. Bishop spoke to the surging demand for engineering education at Texas A&M, which enrolls over 25,000 engineering students but still cannot meet national workforce needs. On the topic of AI, he described early efforts to create a comparative framework across disciplines, with ethical considerations woven throughout the curriculum—not as standalone courses, but through an integrated, vertical approach. He stressed academia's responsibility in helping industry navigate the ethical challenges of space exploration.In response to one of the many listener questions for this program, we discussed commercial opportunities in cislunar space, including communication, landing, and timing infrastructure. Dr. Bishop described cislunar space as a testbed for Earth-beneficial technologies like space medicine and advanced systems. We also explored concepts such as cycling trajectories between Earth and the Moon, space tourism, and large-scale orbital construction. While he believes current engineering capabilities can support such ambitions, he pointed to the need for more robust launch infrastructure Dr. Bishop highlighted Texas A&M's contributions to food production research aboard the ISS and noted the ongoing challenges of limited resources and talent shortages. He spoke positively about the university's close ties with government stakeholders and voiced support for bold space development goals. Before concluding, we briefly touched on student enthusiasm, space settlement, O'Neilian colonies, superstructures, and the emerging potential of space medicine.We invite you to share your thoughts and questions for Dr. Bishop on our Space Show blog or Substack page: doctorspace.substack.com.Special thanks to our sponsors:Northrup Grumman, American Institute of Aeronautics and Astronautics, Helix Space in Luxembourg, Celestis Memorial Spaceflights, Astrox Corporation, Dr. Haym Benaroya of Rutgers University, The Space Settlement Progress Blog by John Jossy, The Atlantis Project, and Artless EntertainmentOur Toll Free Line for Live Broadcasts: 1-866-687-7223For real time program participation, email Dr. Space at: drspace@thespaceshow.comThe Space Show is a non-profit 501C3 through its parent, One Giant Leap Foundation, Inc.

John and I welcomed back Eric Berger of Ars Technica to Hotel Mars for a one-segment update and discussion on SpaceX, Elon Musk, and Starship. We began by asking Eric what successful Starship testing would look like for SpaceX. He acknowledged that it's difficult to define clear success metrics at this stage.We then discussed the upcoming Demo Test #10, potential hardware and assembly issues, plus Eric elaborated on some of the challenges SpaceX might face. The conversation touched on Starship's role in NASA's planned Moon missions, the importance of testing in low Earth orbit (LEO), and the need to develop and demonstrate in-orbit refueling capabilities. Eric spoke about the types of fuel Starship uses and highlighted the need to address issues like boil-off during storage in space.Before concluding, we asked Eric about the ongoing feud between Elon Musk and President Trump. Eric said it was hard to predict how things would unfold but thought Musk might walk back some of his comments. He emphasized the strategic importance of SpaceX to the U.S. government in both civil space and national security domains. While the FAA could theoretically delay permits in response to Musk's remarks, Eric didn't think that was likely at this time.Special thanks to our sponsors:Northrup Grumman, American Institute of Aeronautics and Astronautics, Helix Space in Luxembourg, Celestis Memorial Spaceflights, Astrox Corporation, Dr. Haym Benaroya of Rutgers University, The Space Settlement Progress Blog by John Jossy, The Atlantis Project, and Artless EntertainmentOur Toll Free Line for Live Broadcasts: 1-866-687-7223For real time program participation, email Dr. Space at: drspace@thespaceshow.comThe Space Show is a non-profit 501C3 through its parent, One Giant Leap Foundation, Inc.

There are living creatures dwelling deep below the surface of the Earth, as deep as we are able to drill. These hearty microorganisms are related to more familiar life forms on land and under water, but the operate and survive in ways that are quite different from what we're familiar with. They live off of nutrients that have penetrated from the surface, or sometimes off of pure electrons. Karen Lloyd is a scientist who has traveled around the world studying these organisms, as she explains in her new book Intraterrestrials: Discovering the Strangest Life on Earth.Blog post with transcript: https://www.preposterousuniverse.com/podcast/2025/05/12/314-karen-lloyd-on-the-deep-underground-biosphere/Support Mindscape on Patreon.Karen Lloyd received a Ph.D. in marine sciences from the University of North Carolina.

What is life? However you answer that question, there is a good chance that it's limited in some way by something that recent research has shown is not actually a limit. What living things can breathe, how they derive energy, how long they can live, and even whether they must die are all being challenged by what we're learning from microorganisms. In her new book, “Intraterrestrials,” Karen Lloyd tells the story of exploring those limits among the strangest species on our planet.

What does it really mean when we talk about reconnecting with nature? To actually connect with nature, is it enough to simply get outside? Who speaks for the rights of nature to remain undisturbed? These are just a few of the compelling questions raised by our guest today, Dr. Karen Lloyd. Karen is the author of acclaimed book Abundance: Nature in Recovery and is a lecturer at the University of Lancaster, as well as writer in residence at the university's Future Places Institute. Her work largely explores themes like abundance, restoration and repair in the natural world.In this episode, we chat with Karen about a wide range of issues including habitat loss in her native Lake District, why the tendency to shift our baseline isn't helping us in the climate fight, the city that has declared pollinators as citizens, and how we can meaningfully re-entangle ourselves with the natural world. Show NotesAbout Karen Lloyd (University of Lancaster)Karen Lloyd WebsiteAbundance: Nature in Recovery by Karen LloydAre You Suffering From Shifting Baseline Syndrome?

The permafrost is a thriving ecosystem, teaming with life, mythology, histories and futures, hidden just below the surface. Yet unlike tropical rainforests or the deep oceans, this frozen expanse rarely appears in the cultural imagination. Curator Sophie J Williamson ventures on a journey to discover the life of the permafrost. In -40° winter of the Canadian Yukon Valley, ancient forests, perfectly preserved by the permafrost, are uncovered by miners and 10,000-year-old grass seeds sprout into life. In the blustery remote Artic town of Ny-Ålesund, Svalbard (the world's northernmost settlement) cryomicrobiologists drill boreholes hundreds of meters deep to explore the deepest and oldest of earthly ecologies, bringing to the surface living microbes that are hundreds of thousands of years old. And in unceded Sápmi lands of northern Finland, permafrost mounds decompose into marshy peatlands, while biologists trace the shifting bio- and geoacoustics of a changing ecology. From the piercing-white tundra and the hundreds of thousands of lakes across the vast expanse of Siberia, indigenous folklore emerges from the unknowns of the icy underlands. And scientists in Yakutsk (the world's coldest city), travel the icy landscapes to discover the stories secreted within the still fleshy, visceral carcasses of mammoths and ancient creatures that are exposed as the millennia-year-old ice thaws. With contributions by Hannu Autto, Jonathan Carruthers-Jones, Tori Herridge, Karen Lloyd, Sanna Piilo, Svetlana Romanova, Nikita Tananaev, Peter von Tiesenhausen, and other members of Sámi, Sakha and Yukagir communities of unceded Sápmi territory and Northern Siberia who prefer not to be named.

Samso Insight Episode 102: The current Critical and Essential Minerals debate and what does this mean for investors, community and Australia?   There are many narrative on where this drive for electrification means for investors. We can all agree that there are no doubts on the demand for critical and essential minerals but how could this demand spur the next resource bull run..   In this episode of Samso Insights, we are talking to Lightning Minerals Limited (ASX: L1M) and Taiton Resources Limited (ASX: T88) about their respective IPO which was live at the time of the recording.   This is a brief insight into the people who are running the companies and what is motivating them to be in this space. Alex Biggs and noel Ong are experienced members of the mineral exploration sector having been in the same positions not long ago.   Alex was on the board of Critical Resources Limited (ASX CRR) before leaving to take over the helm of Lightning Minerals Limited (ASX: L1M). He shares with us the projects and the strategy of the company. In a time when critical metal stories are in demand, it is not a bad idea to keep an eye on what Alex is doing now.   The Taiton Resources story is one that is all about the search for Essential Minerals. The company is going to the IPO with the view that they have found a mineral province that has primarily been overlooked.   The mineral province has had historical work showing some very important points, a shallow cover to basement, mineralisation within geophysical targets and CSIRO data indicating an area of hydrothermal activity that is consistent with mineral production.   Take time to watch this episode which showcases two companies that are in the Critical and Essential mineral space and a thorough discussion of why this industry is value adding to community and Australia.   Chapters:   00:00 Start 00:20 Introduction 01:09 What is happening with Lightning Minerals Limited ? 02:54 The critical mineral space 03:49 About Taiton Resources Limited 06:53 Gold prospect 09:43 Is the gold prospect a potential to a fast track cash flow? 12:07 Lightning Minerals board: Dr Karen Lloyd 16:44 Recent development in downstream processing 18:22 Importance of the mining industry in Australia 27:55 Comments on people resources 31:27 The vision for Taiton Resources 33:20 The vision for Lightning Minerals 34:30 Conclusion

Did life emerging from the Earth itself? This week on AIRWAVES we talk to Dr. Karen Lloyd about the mysterious world of the deep, hot biosphere. Miles below our feet is a dark world of filled with creatures for whom we have no context, and who far outnumber those who bask in the light of the planet's surface. Who lives down there? How will they rewrite the book of biology? Are we ready for what we'll find in the depths?

“Everybody struggles. Building a business is really hard.” “But I'm going to keep listening to these podcasts and I'm going to keep pushing with my business… There's no silver bullet, there's no magic recipe, there's no pill. You just need to keep going and going and going and eventually you get there.” These are the wise words of my next podcast guest, and valued client, Karen Lloyd. In October 2020, Karen set herself the goal of transforming her recruitment business and coming on The Resilient Recruiter podcast to tell her story.  Well, she has achieved her goal and more. In the last 12 months, she has increased her billings by 300% through her relentless commitment to making small improvements to every aspect of her business, making her systems and processes more efficient and most importantly by never giving up. In this episode, you will be inspired by Karen's humility and resilience as she's bounced back from multiple setbacks and regained her confidence.  Karen is the Managing Director of Armstrong Lloyd, a leading recruitment firm in the technology marketing space. Karen specializes in helping CMOs and marketing directors within technology companies to grow their teams and exceed their targets.  Episode Outline and Highlights [1:14] Karen's story of resilience and how she was inspired by the Resilient Recruiter Podcast. [4:20] How Karen started her recruitment career at age 21 and initially felt like a failure. [10:54] The steps Karen took to triple her billings in 12 months, and doubled her best ever year from pre-covid times! [18:34] What Karen's learned from co-founding her first recruitment business at the age of 24 and scaling to a team of 20 people.  [24:15] The huge setback that knocked Karen's confidence, but ultimately led to Karen to launch her second recruitment business, Armstrong Lloyd, in 2014. [30:45] The turning point in her life and the parallels between running / personal fitness and running a recruitment business. [35:35] Karen reveals the biggest challenges she faced when growing her business. [35:20] Changes Karen made to her recruitment business to accelerate growth. [46:04] How Karen leverages content marketing and automated campaigns to get new clients. [50:55] Transitioning from contingency recruitment to a retained model. [54:55] Deciding whether to stay on your own or grow a firm. Starting a Recruitment Business at a Young Age and Growing to a Team of 20 “This is something I have learned for myself at a young age. Don't doubt yourself. Just try it, just do it, and see what happens.” This mindset equipped Karen with the determination to start her business with another person at the young age of 24. It was a challenging feat on its own – given that a transition from being a full-time employee to a business owner can sometimes be daunting.  But they managed to grow their firm to a team of 20. “It was an incredible journey and I have learned absolutely so much,” says Karen. She was involved in the major decision-making, marketing, hiring and launching new divisions from scratch. In this interview, Karen shares her insights and main learnings from this transition. Bouncing Back from Setbacks Karen also shared a time in her career ten years ago when her confidence took a knock. This was when she left the company she co-founded and had spent 14 years of her life building. It was heart-wrenching for Karen to walk away, but looking back she now knows it was the right thing to do. What helped her overcome an experienced that was hard? For Karen, it is learning to ask for help. Karen started seeking support from a coach. This was an eye-opening experience and a game changer for her. Any roadblock she experiences, may it be related to her personal life, her personal fitness or her business, she finds getting help from a coach is one of the best courses of action.  “The coaching part has been a phenomenal change,” is how she puts it. How to Run Effective Virtual Team Meetings We also talked about the changes that Karen implemented in her team to further accelerate their growth. One of the things that were discussed is running powerful online meetings with her team. Here are the takeaways from what Karen shared: Stop being too task-focused. Include time for ‘chit-chat'. Get feedback from your team members via informal conversations. Setting a timeline with a clear agenda. Have every person speak (sharing something going on with wins, challenges and updates).

Wrapping Up with Karen Lloyd

Episode two of our new podcast about an ancient dale from journalist and broadcaster Caroline Beck. Somewhere high up in the North Pennines, between everywhere and nowhere at all, is Weardale, a remote northern dale. It’s a place of old lead mines, deep worked out limestone quarries, and hill farming; the home of day-dreamers, explorers, incomers, artists, philosophers, sky-watchers, story tellers and travellers. Over a series of ten exclusive interviews with writers and poets Caroline goes in search of what it means to live in England’s last wilderness. In part two, Caroline meets award-winning nature writer and environmental activist Karen Lloyd, author of The Gathering Tide; A Journey Around the Edgelands of Morecambe Bay and The Blackbird Diaries. While her first book takes in land and the landscape, The Blackbird Diaries takes in the more intimate environment of her own back garden. Together with Rebecca Barrett, project manager for the North Pennines Area of Natural Beauty, Jill Essam of Harehope Quarry and local resident Carol Inskipp, they discuss how this seemingly wild landscape bears the scars of having been shaped by industry, from lead mining to farming, and how we can work with nature to rewild the area. Narrated and recorded by Caroline Beck Produced by Jay Sykes Ten Words for a Northern Landscape is commissioned Northern Heartlands and produced as part of Durham Book Festival, a Durham County Council event. The recording was made possible by funding and support from the National Lottery Heritage Fund and Arts Council England. Look out for Ten Words for a Northern Landscape on the New Writing North podcast and Durham Book Festival website. #10wordspodcast

(repeat) Your shower pipes are alive.  So are your sinks, books, and floorboards.  New studies of our homes are revealing just what species live there – in the thousands, from bacteria to flies to millipedes.  Meanwhile, life keeps surprising us by popping up in other unexpected places: the deep biosphere houses the majority of the world’s bacteria and the Arctic tundra has kept worms frozen, but alive, for 40,000 years. We embrace the multitude of life living on us, in us, and – as it turns out – in every possible ecological niche.  Most of it is harmless, some is beneficial, and it’s all testament to the amazing diversity and adaptability of life.  In addition, the hardiest organisms suggest where we might find life beyond Earth. Guests: Rob Dunn – Professor of applied ecology at North Carolina State University and at the Natural History Museum at the University of Copenhagen. Author of “Never Home Alone: From Microbes to Millipedes, Camel Crickets, and Honeybees, the Natural History of Where We Live.” Lynn Rothschild – Astrobiologist and synthetic biologist at the NASA Ames Research Center. Karen Lloyd – Environmental microbiologist and associate professor at the University of Tennessee.

We all know that wellbeing is more than physical health. Many of the daily choices we make about our physical health habits (exercise, eating, sleep) are dependent on how we feel, what we think and the so-called motivation factor. But what if we addressed emotional health first? Would other healthy behaviors fall in line? Today’s guest, Dr. Karen Lloyd, thinks so. Dr. Karen Lloyd holds a doctorate in clinical psychology and has over twenty years of leadership experience with health plans. At HealthPartners, Dr. Lloyd develops and leads the behavioral health disease management, case management and utilization management programs for members with behavioral health conditions, along with the emotional resilience programs for HealthPartners employees, care delivery patients and health plan members.  Karen has created not one but five programs to enhance the emotional health of employees and health plan members. What started as a one-hour class has blossomed into a scalable online solution that has helped over 10,000 people. In this interview, we discuss how HealthPartners initially identified the need to address the emotional health of employees, how they started and the changes they made along the way. Karen also describes the four other programs they offer in addition to emotional resilience. We tackle what HealthPartners is doing to address organizational stressors and her answer is impressive. As always, we’re left with a tangible tip. Thank you to our sponsor, Workplace Money Coach.
