POPULARITY
Some optimistic and positive science news to end the year.For rats, anticipation of a pleasurable event is a pleasure in itself One day early in the pandemic, behavioural neuroscientist Kelly Lambert from the University of Richmond went to check on her rats. The rats responded with excitement when they saw her, anticipating the treats they were about to receive. That inspired her to pivot her research to study the effects that anticipating pleasurable experiences could have on the brain. She's found in research that has yet to be published, that building in anticipation periods before they get to do something they enjoy, increases, which, if her findings extend to humans, could help boost mental resiliency. Their previous work was published in Behavioural Brain Research. How Marine Protected Areas are improving tuna fisheriesA comprehensive study of province-sized marine protected areas in the tropical pacific has shown that they not only provide a refuge for fish, but improve tuna fisheries harvests in the areas outside their borders, making a win-win for conservation and industry. John Lynham, a professor of Economics at the University of Hawaii at Manoa, led the study which was published in the journal Science.For chimpanzees, play and the world plays with youA study of chimpanzees in Zambia has revealed that play and grooming are infectious behaviours. Animals who observe others performing these activities are more likely to groom and play themselves, which the researchers think promotes social cohesion in the troop. Zanna Clay, a professor of Psychology at Durham University, was part of the team, which published their research in the journal PLOS One.The oceans smallest plants and animals could help suck up excess atmospheric carbonResearchers may have discovered a new, fairly simple way to stimulate life in the ocean to capture and lock up atmospheric carbon. Phytoplankton absorbs and then releases 150 billion tons of atmospheric carbon every year. The researchers found that by adding just a little bit of clay to a phytoplankton bloom, this glues carbon particles together, creating “carbon snow” that falls down and is eaten by zooplankton, who then deposit it in the deep ocean. Mukul Sharma, a professor of Earth Sciences at Dartmouth College, says that in the lab this method locked up 90 per cent of the carbon that phytoplankton released. His study was published in the journal Nature Scientific Reports.A seal of approval: Unique elephant seal behaviour observed by a failed experimentA team of researchers developed a sophisticated deep-water experiment to observe and listen for sounds made by sablefish. They were startled when their study site was repeatedly visited by elephant seals, who would chase and chow down on the sablefish — all at 645 meters below the ocean's surface. This accidental observation was made in the Barkley Canyon Node, part of the Ocean Networks Canada (ONC) cabled video-observatory. It was the first time that elephant seals were studied in the deep ocean, giving unexpected and valuable new insights into seal resting and foraging behaviour. The findings were published in the journal PLOS One.Producer Amanda Buckiewicz spoke with Rodney Rountree, an independent biologist, ichthyologist, and adjunct marine biologist in the Department of Biology at Victoria University.And Héloïse Frouin-Mouy, an assistant scientist at the University of Miami's Cooperative Institute for Marine and Atmospheric Studies, and affiliate at the University of Victoria.
In neuroscientist Kelly Lambert's lab at the University of Richmond, rats hop into cars, rev their engines and skid across the floor of an arena. Researchers taught these tiny rodents to drive — and turns out, they really like it. But why?Host Regina G. Barber talks with Kelly about her driving rats, and what they tell us about anticipation, neuroplasticity, and decision making. Plus, why optimism might be good for rats, and for humans too.Want to hear more fun animal stories?

Je rêve d'un monde où notre société s'adapte aux individualités et aux histoires de chacun. Permettre aux familles de pratiquer l'Instruction en Famille, ou IEF, était un droit, une liberté, que l'on offrait en France aux familles qui avaient envie de proposer cet accompagnement différent aux enfants. Pourtant, ce droit a été fortement entravé par le gouvernement français, prétextant une manière de lutter contre le séparatisme et ainsi respecter au mieux les principes de la République. Cette décision m'a profondément touchée, car j'ai tant d'aspirations différentes pour notre pays et ses enfants.C'est pourquoi cette semaine, j'ai décidé de donner la parole à une mère de famille qui fait l'école à la maison pour ses enfants. On a parlé de son histoire, de l'évolution du cadre juridique français et de tous les bienfaits de cette liberté aujourd'hui en danger.

Kelly recalls being bullied about her weight and how she mastered the face of confidence as a coping mechanism through primary and secondary school. Throughout Kelly's adult years being big and bubbly was a banner that Kelly was proud of and in public, she was able to walk tall with unfaltering confidence. Although Kelly had noticed changes in her health that caused problems, weight loss didn't seem to hold any momentum for Kelly due to holding onto an outdated notion that weight loss came with restriction. Kelly had previously joined Slimming World and armed with her “restrict '' outdated mindset Kelly was confused why she didn't see the results on the scales...after all she was starving!! Kelly was hungry and had reduced her food intake but hadn’t stuck to the Slimming World plan. Does any of this sound familiar? Have you paid to attend weight loss groups such as Slimming World and Weight Watchers only to leave class and do what the hell you felt like!? This makes absolutely no sense right!! I have been there trust me if this resonates you are not on your own. Kelly was determined to lose weight after a video taken on holiday was posted on Facebook, Kelly was mortified and once again joined Slimming World this time losing 9 stone in weight. The change came for Kelly when she realised the amount of food she could eat with no need for hunger pangs. Kelly is a great inspiration and explains the positive impact changing her diet mindset has had on her life. What are you waiting for!? Facebook Group, Instagram, and Clubhouse.

The Living Experiment: Rethink Your Choices. Reclaim Your Life.
We live in a culture that encourages us to consume far more than we create. That's a dynamic that directly undermines both our health and happiness. Learn why, and how you can achieve a more empowering balance. Creativity — whether preparing a delicious meal or exchanging witty banter with an old friend — can bring deep satisfaction. Consumption — whether enjoying a fine wine or a riveting Game of Thrones episode — can also be a delightful experience. But when creativity- and consumption-based pleasures get out of balance in our lives, our health and happiness start to suffer. Giving without receiving can be exhausting, while consuming without producing can feel aimless. In this week's episode of The Living Experiment, we explore the dynamic relationship between creativity and consumption, the historic events that have led to our modern-day imbalance, and some strategies for establishing a healthier equilibrium. "Creativity vs. Consumption" Episode Highlights Defining, in thought-provoking terms, the key concepts of consumption (3:05) and creation (3:35) Dallas's observations of behavior changes in people on the Whole30 program, and how they inspired his interest in the creativity/consumption dynamic (4:40) The virtuous cycle of making positive changes that boost your self-confidence (8:10) An evolutionary mismatch: how our DNA is hardwired for a balance of creativity and consumption very different from how we're living today (9:50) How Pilar's personal experience of the consumption/creativity imbalance motivated her to create Experience Life magazine, and the confirming feedback she got from readers (10:35) A historical overview of the shift from creation to consumption (12:40) The Agricultural Revolution, and how it changed our fundamental rhythms of life (14:25) The impact of trade and transactional relationships on the rise of consumerism – “What can I get for myself from you?” (15:05) The Industrial Revolution, and how mechanized production translated to less work for more goods, creating the economic forces that shaped consumer society (15:40) How the overconsumption of stuff has led us to want more of everything and affected our interpersonal relationships (18:00) The evolutionary drivers behind the desire to accumulate things (19:35) The inverse relationship between creation and consumption, and the damage caused by mindless overconsumption (22:15) How changing one small thing, whether nutrition, activity, sleep or mindset, can lead to profound life transformation (23:40) Meditation as a means of combating harmful consumption patterns (24:10) The dopamine loop activated by digital experiences, and how instant gratification creates a need for increasingly amped-up rewards (24:50) Research on how simple, hands on tasks can help counteract addictive tendencies (27:30) Lessons of the "trust-fund rat study" — how rats that didn't have to work to find their food ended up more sick, fat, and depressed than rats that did (29:40) Upgrading your media consumption (31:45) Dallas's "More Social Less Media" program – balancing creative social interaction with mindful media intake (33:15) The value of examining our effort to get love and affection from other people (34:40) Why cooking a meal with another person can be a profoundly uplifting experience (36:55) Suggested experiments for the week (38:20) This Week's Experiments Dallas suggests: Identify one or two places where you mindlessly over-consume, and pick a creative replacement activity instead. Examples: Join a book club, plant a vegetable garden, pick up a musical instrument, or write in a journal. “If your goal is ‘reduce consumption,' be more creative; if your goal is ‘be more creative,' reduce consumption.” Pilar suggests: 1) Reduce your in-car media consumption, and instead make a creative effort to drive with exceptional kindness and generosity. Minimize dependence on music, news, texting, and phone-based interactions. Drive with the most awareness and thoughtfulness you can muster; rather than thinking about others as obstacles in your way, be on the lookout for how you can assist and support others during your commute. Examples: Anticipate people who might be trying to merge into your lane, slow down, and wave them in; make up kind and compassionate stories about the iffy behaviors of other drivers. Recognize that you can choose the attitude you want to adopt in any given moment, and how this gives you the opportunity to improve your own and others' experiences. 2) Swap some TV time in favor of an activity that improves your personal environment or quality of life. Invest at least part of your habitual media-consumption time (even a half hour) in the service of your own happiness. Look for some small way you can creatively contribute to own real-life daily experience or sense of wellbeing instead. Examples: Declutter a messy area, reorganize and arrange the bedside table to be more beautiful, vacuum out the silverware drawer, or clear out long-expired spices or supplements. Deal with some small annoyance or toleration you've been putting off. Share the Love!
