A listener found a bargain: a house where meth was smoked, fully cleaned, and now testing safe. But everyone in town knows its history... and it's on the LIM. So does the stigma ever go? Or is it a "meth house" forever?In this episode, Ed and Andrew dig into the science, the stigma, and the real numbers behind former meth houses. You'll learn:What the science says about meth smoked vs cookedWhy meth stays on a LIM forever, and how it gets there in the first placeWhat a former meth house really costs you (hint: it's not the clean-up)A cleaned meth house can be perfectly safe to live in. Whether it's a bargain or a trap comes down to the numbers.Let us know your thoughts by leaving us a voice message on the Property Academy HotlineFor more from Opes Partners:Sign up for the weekly Private Property newsletterInstagramTikTok

How do you build a robot that had empathy?On this episode of Approximately Correct, Amii Canada CIFAR AI Chair Angelica Lim joins hosts Alona Fyshe and Scott Lilwall to discuss the complex world of social robotics. As the director of the ROSIE Lab at Simon Fraser University, Lim is focused on making robots friendlier, more fun, and more useful, allowing them to interact with humans more effectively and react to our social cues. She dives into the challenges of adding empathy to artificial intelligence, why cultural diversity if important when it comes to training social machines, and why making robots into artificial friends might not actually be the ideal goal.

A leitura transversal produz uma conclusão mais exigente do que a habitual oposição entre «adotar» e «proibir» IA. O problema fundamental é constitucional, no sentido institucional da palavra: quem pode decidir, sobre o quê, com que informação, sob que regras, em benefício de quem e com que possibilidade de contestação. A IA altera a distribuição de autoridade entre alunos, docentes, instituições, Estados e empresas; desloca parte do trabalho cognitivo e avaliativo para infraestruturas privadas; e pode redefinir silenciosamente aquilo que uma escola considera aprendizagem, desempenho, inteligência ou eficiência. Esta é a linha comum que liga a crítica de Daniela Hau ao modelo human-in-the-loop, os cenários de autonomia de Lim, Hilmy e Kuok, a crítica da personalização de Bianca Farthing, a preocupação de Camille Fabo com o poder curricular dos modelos e os cenários futuros da parte final da coletânea.

Richard Lim, historian at Prager U. and host of the This American President podcast joins the guys to discuss his recent book on George Washington's legacy, Refusing a Crown. Breaking through mainstream secularist assumptions, Lim argues that Washington's greatness is best understood in the context of his Christian faith. Meanwhile, the Foundation for Individual Rights and Expression (FIRE) has challenged the Trump Administration's attempt to deport Mahmoud Khalil and Rümeysa Özturk for anti-American speech. FIRE argues the constitution protects resident aliens, and even that immigrant speech cannot be scrutinized in the vetting process. Will reason prevail?Recommended:Refusing a Crown: How George Washington Changed the World This is a public episode.

“Dear World,” Phillip Lim announced via Instagram on July 21, “welcome to PlayLoveWin.” It was the designer's first post in six months. Lim walked away from his two-decade-old namesake label 3.1 Phillip Lim in late 2024, and has been relatively quiet since. He was off-the-grid in Asia—or as off-the-grid as Thailand's 2025 Cultural Ambassador, a short-term side project he took on, can get—when he started cogitating on a more streamlined kind of fashion business, one in which he'd go deep on a single category. Thus: PlayLoveWin, which he imagines as a singular destination for shirts. In today's episode of The Run Through, Nicole Phelps talks to Phillip Lim about the origins of PlayLoveWin, his anti-fashion approach, and how he's embracing this chapter a little differently. “As a son of immigrants, I am still working on this idea: do I deserve to win? Do we deserve to win? Why do we do so much, and we overachieve, and we push ourselves to the edge, just to be okay? Just to get to that acceptability. I think about my career, and it was always just getting to that line, and I was okay with it, no matter what it was, because I was so grateful. But with this chapter, I wanna break through….I want to win, and I want you to win,” he says, “and I want us to win together.” The Run-Through with Vogue is your go-to podcast where fashion meets culture. Hosted by Chloe Malle, Head of Editorial Content, Vogue U.S.; Chioma Nnadi, Head of British Vogue; and Nicole Phelps, Director of Vogue Runway, each episode features the latest fashion news and exclusive designer and celebrity interviews.

Moving beyond the basics of homeownership, Wing and Robyn discuss the difference between good debt and bad debt, debt consolidation, home equity lines of credit, mortgage refinancing, loan-to-value ratios, and the importance of comparing borrowing costs when deciding how to manage high-interest debt. Dr. Lim and Robyn also examine more advanced uses of home equity and mortgage financing, including borrowing against home equity for investments and real estate. They discuss tax considerations when borrowed funds are used to generate investment income, the Smith Manoeuvre, refinancing rental properties, rental income qualification, and using equity to expand a real estate portfolio. Throughout the episode, they emphasize that leverage requires financial discipline and coordinated advice from mortgage brokers, accountants, lawyers, and financial planners, particularly for incorporated and self-employed physicians.

Eine Synkope gehört zu den häufigen Einsatzbildern im Rettungsdienst. Was auf den ersten Blick wie eine harmlose kurze Bewusstlosigkeit wirkt, kann jedoch auch Ausdruck einer potenziell lebensbedrohlichen Erkrankung sein. Entscheidend ist deshalb, eine Synkope von anderen Ursachen einer transienten Bewusstseinsstörung abzugrenzen und Hinweise auf eine kardiale oder andere gefährliche Ursache frühzeitig zu erkennen.In dieser Folge von Rettungsdienst LUKS – Der Notfallmedizin Podcast sprechen wir über die Definition und Pathophysiologie der Synkope, die wichtigsten Differenzialdiagnosen und die verschiedenen Synkopeformen sowie die präklinische Abklärung und Risikoeinschätzung.Rettungsdienst LUKS – Der Notfallmedizin Podcast mit dem Thema:Synkope im Rettungsdienst – Harmlos oder kurz vor Herztod?

Former U.S. Poet Laureate Ada Limón makes an argument that gets lost in most anniversary programming: that art does something political language simply can't — that attention, joy, and grief aren't distractions from the American experiment but its actual substance. In a moment she describes as defined by the theft of imagination, she makes the case that a single poem, a single act of noticing, is itself a civic act.What does that look like when someone has to build it into an actual room? Annabel Birnie, director of Amsterdam's H'ART Museum, takes up the question directly. Drawing on two exhibitions she's currently running — David Levinthal's American Myth & Memory and Radical Histories: Chicano Prints — she reflects on holding love and criticism of a country in the same space, and on what 35 years in Amsterdam, still hesitant to call herself an Amsterdammer, taught her about belonging that Limón's poems gesture toward.Out of Many, One Voice marks America's 250th anniversary by exploring what binds a nation together, and how the many voices that compose it give that nation meaning.Support the showThe John Adams Institute is Amsterdam's home for independent American thought. John Adams himself said “Let us tenderly and kindly cherish...the means of knowledge. Let us dare to read, think, speak, and write.” For four decades, we have amassed a unique archive of great thinkers, speakers and writers, from Toni Morrison to Timothy Snyder, and from Jane Fonda to Jill Lepore. It has been our pleasure to share this treasure trove of thought and word with you. In this exclusive miniseries, we're sitting down with a few prominent voices from both sides of the Atlantic to take stock of the United States, two hundred and fifty years into its experiment in self-governance. We believe John Adams would have wanted it that way – in fact he explained as much in a letter to his wife, Abigail, on 3 July 1776; “I am apt to believe that it will be celebrated, by succeeding Generations, as the great anniversary Festival.” And so, from Amsterdam, it's Bright Minds; Out of Many, One? the podcast from the Adams Institute!

Dr Shereen Lim is a Perth-based dentist and among the first in Australia to complete a postgraduate qualification in Dental Sleep Medicine. She began her career working with adults with snoring and sleep apnea but soon recognized that many of these problems had their roots in childhood and could often be lessened or delayed through earlier identification and management. This insight inspired her focus on children's airway health, where she now works in tongue-tie management and early interceptive orthodontics to promote healthy breathing, sleep, and growth. She is the author of Breathe, Sleep, Thrive: Discover How Airway Health Can Unlock Your Child's Potential, a book that has reached families and professionals worldwide. Dr Lim is passionate about promoting integrative care and raising awareness of children's airway health as the foundation for thriving health and vitality. SHOWNOTES:

This is the next installment in our newly curated, theme-based format, and this week's theme is mental health: what the rhythm of the heart can—and cannot—tell us about the mind. Across seven studies, a single thread keeps surfacing: the body's story and the mind's story refuse to line up neatly. Sometimes lower heart rate variability marks distress; sometimes it does not move where we most expect it to; and in at least one striking case, higher variability marks not health but trouble. RESEARCH HIGHLIGHTS THIS WEEK 1. A meta-analysis of heart rate variability and psychopathology: An investigation guided by the hierarchical taxonomy of psychopathology framework PUBLICATION: Journal of Psychopathology and Clinical Science AUTHORS: Tam Pham, Carly J. Johnco, Ana Neves, Wilson P. H. Lim, Gladys J. Heng, Rachel Ygnacio, Miriam K. Forbes KEY FINDING: Pooling 430 studies (732 effect sizes across roughly 62,000 people), lower resting heart rate variability was associated with most of the psychopathology hierarchy — including schizophrenia, bipolar disorder, autism, generalized anxiety disorder, panic disorder, borderline personality disorder, post-traumatic stress disorder, and major depression — but not with obsessive-compulsive disorder, social anxiety disorder, or attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder. Associations were strongest in psychotic conditions and consistently stronger in more severely symptomatic samples. SIGNIFICANCE: Reduced heart rate variability looks less like a disorder-specific fingerprint and more like a transdiagnostic marker of systemic dysregulation tied to illness severity — a fever, not a rash. It may be most useful for gauging overall strain and tracking change over time rather than sorting people into diagnoses. This is a meta-analysis of largely cross-sectional data, so it shows association, not causation. Read the full study: https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/42490257/ 2. Heart rate variability and risk of agitation in Alzheimer's disease: the Atherosclerosis Risk in Communities Study PUBLICATION: Brain Communications AUTHORS: Kathy Y. Liu, Eric A. Whitsel, Gerardo Heiss, Priya Palta, Suzanne Reeves, Feng V. Lin, Mara Mather, Jonathan P. Roiser, Robert Howard KEY FINDING: In 120 participants from the Atherosclerosis Risk in Communities study whose dementia was attributed solely to Alzheimer's disease, higher heart rate variability was associated with greater agitation risk, with the strongest signal coming from the change in vagally mediated variability over roughly two decades. The associations were adjusted for cognitive status, resting heart rate, demographics, comorbidities, and medications affecting the autonomic nervous system. SIGNIFICANCE: The meaning of heart rate variability is context-dependent: in a brain undergoing neurodegeneration, an increase in autonomic signal may reflect a loss of regulatory control rather than resilience. This is a candidate marker of propensity for agitation, not yet a clinical tool. Observational design and a small subgroup mean this is association, not causation.

At first, Ada Limón wasn’t able to write poetry during the pandemic. And then she wrote a poem called “The Hurting Kind.” From that flowed the rest of her new book of poems under that same name. We talked to Limón, then the poet laureate of the United States, before an audience in April 2023 at the Literary Arts space in downtown Portland.
You've probably seen one by now: a human-sized robot doing very human feats – landing a perfect backflip, racing through the streets of Beijing, or dancing in a crowd at a Knicks game. But behind these viral moments, there is serious money. Analysts predict the market for humanoid robots could be worth trillions in a matter of decades. Everyone from trillionaire Elon Musk to Chinese President Xi Jinping is betting humanoids are the future – that one day, they will live alongside us – in our homes, and even our military. The question is: can we trust them? Angelica Lim has spent her entire career trying to build trustworthy robots. A roboticist based at Simon Fraser University, Lim joins Machine's Like Us to share lessons from building the world's first mass-produced humanoid named Pepper, and why empathy in robotics is more important than ever.

Can heart rate variability actually predict illness before you feel it? What makes HRV rise or fall from day to day, and how should you use it? Dr Boon Lim is a consultant cardiologist and electrophysiologist at Hammersmith Hospital, Imperial College Healthcare NHS Trust, and one of the UK's leading specialists in atrial fibrillation and the autonomic nervous system. In this episode we go deep on heart rate variability: what it really measures, what shifts it, when it is useful, and crucially when it is misleading. Chapters 0:00 Introduction 0:30 Can HRV improve healthspan or reduce disease risk? 1:20 What heart rate variability actually is 2:31 The autonomic nervous system, your body's control room 3:40 Why you cannot think your heart rate up, but you can feel it up 4:03 Yin and yang: sympathetic and parasympathetic balance 4:52 Provoking ectopic beats with mental arithmetic in the cath lab 6:54 Does your resting heart rate determine your HRV? 8:57 Why athletes score higher, and why wearables measure overnight 9:55 What alcohol does to HRV, and how fast you recover 10:58 HRV as an early warning system, days before symptoms 12:32 The stressors nobody counts: emotion, purpose, security, trauma 14:12 HRV in IBS, fatigue and brain fog 14:46 Should you train on a low HRV day? 17:07 Track trends, not days 17:40 Why you should never compare your HRV to anyone else's 18:32 From 38 to 53: Boon's own HRV over eighteen months 19:08 HRV and ageing 20:17 Hormones, the menstrual cycle and HRV 22:33 The standardised two-minute autonomic assessment 23:20 Resonant frequency and the six-second breath 25:11 HRV as a treatment, not just a measurement 26:27 Building coherent breathing into an ordinary day 28:47 Breathing for anxiety and emotional regulation 29:47 The heart as a command centre: signals travelling upwards 31:02 Bottom-up physiology meets top-down emotion 32:33 Primary and secondary pain, phantom limbs and the splinter story 37:26 When to measure HRV: the morning protocol 39:22 When HRV is not a useful metric: AF and ectopic beats 42:09 Can a wearable detect undiagnosed atrial fibrillation? 44:14 LIVE DEMO: the 60-second coherence reset 48:18 Reading the coherence graph 49:40 Do you actually need a device? 51:41 When data-driven medicine falls short: the long covid lesson 53:20 ENO Breathe: singing as breath training 54:17 Connection, community and loneliness as autonomic medicine 59:07 Where to find Dr Boon Lim What we cover Heart rate variability is not a fitness score. It is a window into the autonomic nervous system, the part of you that runs your heartbeat, your gut, your sweat glands and your stress response without ever asking permission. Dr Lim explains why the heart is not a metronome, why two people with identical heart rates can have wildly different HRV, and why your watch does most of its measuring while you sleep. We also get into the stressors most people never count. Alcohol, jet lag and poor sleep are the obvious ones. Job insecurity, unresolved trauma, loneliness and a lack of purpose sit underneath, and they shape your autonomic baseline far more than any single bad night. Then there is the part almost nobody covers: when HRV becomes useless. In atrial fibrillation, HRV goes sky high, but that high HRV is not a good sign. Ectopic beats skew it the same way. Boon explains how to spot this, and how a sudden unexplained jump in HRV on a wearable has flagged undiagnosed AF in his own patients. A live demonstration: the 60-second autonomic reset Boon takes out a HeartMath Inner Balance sensor and shows coherent breathing in real time, with live biofeedback on screen. You watch his heart rate settle into a smooth sinusoidal wave and his coherence score shoot up in under two minutes. This is the top-down, bottom-up approach he uses in clinic: slow nasal diaphragmatic breathing to send calming signals up from the heart to the brain, paired with a deliberate positive emotion sent down from the brain to the body.

This episode, we're stepping back to the golden age of natural history podcasting by resurrecting the format of the classic show Wild Ideas: The Podcast. Joining us on the trail is one of the OG hosts: the man himself, Gordon Maupin. It's a 3-way team-up where each of us brings a heavy-hitting seasonal mystery to the table.First, Steve unravels the rule-breaking world of the Ambystoma polyploid salamander complex, where unisexual lineages are mixing up DNA from different species and blurring the lines of what makes a species a species. Then, Gordon shrinks things down to look at the world of duckweed ecology, a group that includes the smallest flowering plants in the world. Finally, Bill turns our eyes to the skies over the marsh to pull back the curtain on dragonfly migration, looking into the recent science that shows some dragonfly species are multi-generational continental travelers (as well as badass predators).Come listen in as Gordon and the guys answer the question, “What's going on outside?” (Wild Ideas fans, that's for you)This episode was reecorded at the Iroquois National Wildlife Refuge in Alabama, NY on May 13, 2026.Episode LinksCheck out the Iroquois National Wildlife Refige and their Bald Eagle Cam.Here's the New York Times article about 7 Podcasts About the Joys of Bird Watching that includes a mention of our show.Episode NotesGetting The Great Egret's Latin Name RightDuring a quick aside this episode, Gordon spotted a Great Egret and Steve tried to recall its scientific name, tentatively going with Erodea alba. He wasn't entirely wrong! The correct name is Ardea alba.While alba means "white," Ardea is Latin for "heron." It also ties back to the ancient myth by everyone's favorite Roman poet Ovid, who wrote about a bird rising directly from the ashes of the burned city of Ardea. What's the Deal With Axolotls?We wondered if the axolotl is in the same genus as the Jefferson and blue spotted salamander (Ambystoma) and yes they are!Species: A. mexicanum (Axolotl) Unlike most members of Ambystomatidae—which typically metamorphose into terrestrial adults—the axolotl exhibits a trait called neoteny (or paedomorphosis). This is where an organism retains juvenile or larval traits into adulthood. Axolotls retains its aquatic, larval features (like its signature feathery external gills) into adulthood and spends its entire life in the water Bill's Hard Claim on ID'ing Jefferson Salamanders Bill said there is no way we could tell if it was a Jefferson salamander: is that true? Bill was basically right if we're talking about visually confirming a female-looking salamander in a blue-spotted/Jefferson overlap zone. Many unisexual individuals cannot be confidently identified by sight, and genetic testing is the clean answer. But during the breeding season, a male with a swollen cloaca is not part of the all-female unisexual lineage, so that can help narrow things down. So, a male in breeding condition can sometimes be identified much more confidently than a female/unisexual-looking animal, but you need to have serious knowledge about species location, morphology, and breeding-season characteristics. The Jefferson Complex vs. the Bigger Unisexual Salamander SituationDuring the episode, Bill had a “wait, what are we even talking about?” moment while Steve was explaining the huge all-female/unisexual Ambystoma salamander lineage.Steve was talking about the big-picture version: a bizarre evolutionary group that can involve genomes from several mole salamander species, including Blue-spotted, Jefferson, Small-mouthed, Streamside, and Tiger Salamanders.Bill, though, was thinking what we hear more about in the Northeast and Great Lakes region: the “Jefferson complex,” or the Blue-spotted/Jefferson Salamander mess. Around here, that usually means you can't usually ID a Jefferson Salamanders or a Blue-spotted Salamander down to species because the sally in front of you may belong to the all-female, polyploid lineage that can't be confidently sorted out just by looking at them.So Bill's question was basically: “Hold on. Is this identification nightmare only a Jefferson/Blue-spotted thing, or does it happen with the other species too?”And the answer is: yep. It can happen with the others too.The narrower Jefferson complex usually refers to the Blue-spotted/Jefferson part of the story, especially in places where those are the main overlapping species. But when scientists zoom out and include the other players (Small-mouthed, Streamside, and Eastern Tiger Salamanders) they usually refer to the whole thing as the unisexual Ambystoma lineage.So the practical field takeaway is this: in places where these species overlap, a female-looking Ambystoma salamander may be impossible to identify with confidence by appearance alone. Even experts may only be making an educated guess unless they use genetic testing. Measuring red blood cell size can help estimate ploidy (basically, whether the animal has extra chromosome sets) but DNA testing is the real way to know which genomes are actually in there. Is Duckweed the Smallest Flowering Plant? Yes, but specifically a microscopic type of it. The world's smallest flowering plants belong to the genus Wolffia - Often referred to as "rootless duckweed" or "watermeal," they are the tiniest members of the duckweed family (Lemnaceae) Individual Wolffia plants are usually less than 1 mm long, roughly the size of a pinhead or cornmeal, and the flowers are correspondingly microscopic.Unlike standard duckweed (Lemna), Wolffia plants do not have roots and appear simply as tiny floating green spheres or oval seeds.The plant produces the world's smallest flower, which forms in a tiny depression on the plant's top surface.Because they are so small and have highly efficient asexual budding, they can easily cover a pond in dense mats before you ever notice an individual plant. Can be found across temperate and tropical regions of North, Central, and South America Correction: Ed Yong's An Immense World (UV, not Infrared)During the episode, Bill mentioned Ed Yong's phenomenal book, An Immense World, and noted that researchers are increasingly discovering how many animals can see in the infrared spectrum. His memory slipped slightly on this one! Yong actually discusses the growing scientific realization that many animals see in the ultraviolet (UV) spectrum, not infrared. (Though as you'll see below, dragonflies do have a few tricks up their sleeves on the other end of the spectrum). Gordon's Question: Infrared Vision & Dragonfly MatingBill's misremembering of what was in An Immense World was prompted by Gordon asking a fantastic question during the recording: Can dragonflies see in the infrared spectrum, and if they can, are they using it to navigate during migration?First, a quick clarification: when most of us hear “infrared,” we immediately picture thermal imaging — animals glowing in the dark, Predator vision, that whole thing. That is not what we're talking about here. Dragonflies do not appear to see heat signatures.What they may be able to see is near-infrared — light just beyond the deepest red wavelengths visible to humans. Near-infrared is not heat vision. It is more like an invisible extension of red.According to a recent study published in January 2026 by researchers in Osaka, Japan, some dragonfly species have visual pigments that are sensitive to extremely long red wavelengths, possibly reaching into the near-infrared edge of the spectrum. That alone is pretty wild. But the discovery also highlights a striking example of parallel evolution between insects and primates. Millions of years ago, the ancestors of humans and other primates evolved molecular changes that helped produce red-sensitive vision. This new research suggests that some dragonflies may have independently evolved a similar molecular tuning mechanism for detecting red light. However, while primate red vision operates within the visible spectrum, some dragonflies appear to have pushed that sensitivity even farther, toward the boundary between deep red and near-infrared.So what are they doing with this ability? Probably not navigating migration, at least as far as we know.The better-supported idea is that this long-wavelength vision helps dragonflies identify mates quickly in flight. Male and female dragonflies can reflect red and near-infrared light differently, especially against green vegetation. So for an animal making split-second decisions while zipping around at high speed, that extra visual contrast could be a big deal. So to answer Gordon's question, dragonflies may be seeing farther into the red/near-infrared edge of the spectrum than we can, but based on what researchers currently know, they're probably using that ability for rapid sex recognition, not long-distance navigation. It's more of a high-speed dragonfly dating filter than infrared GPS.The Missing Piece: Visual Cues and "Leading Lines" in MigrationOne big element Bill neglected to mention in covering how dragonfies navigate during migration is the VISUAL piece – that they also use what they're seeing! That is a crucial piece of the puzzle. Dragonflies are also extremely visual animals. Those huge compound eyes are not just for decoration. So, what they're seeing is likely a key piece in their migration toolbox. Migrating dragonflies are often observed moving along major landscape features: coastlines, mountain ridges, river valleys, and other long, continuous edges. Biologists sometimes refer to these kinds of features as leading lines, because they can help guide or funnel migrating animals across the landscape.That doesn't mean a dragonfly is looking down and thinking, “Ah yes, the Susquehanna River. I'll take this south.” But these landscape features can still matter in several ways.Coastlines can keep migrants from drifting too far over open water, which is risky for an insect that eventually needs to land, rest, and feed.Mountain ridges and long hillsides can create useful air currents and updrafts, allowing dragonflies to ride favorable winds and conserve energy.River corridors can provide both a visual pathway and good stopover habitat, with water, vegetation, and plenty of small flying insects to eat when they need to refuel.The overall migration story for dragonflies probably isn't “dragonflies have one magic compass.” It's more like they are combining a bunch of cues at once: the visual structure of the landscape below them, as well as the elements covered during the episode. Steve's Questions: Resident vs. Migratory Green Darners & The Thermal Genetic SwitchDuring the episode, Steve asked two really good questions about Common Green Darners: if some are migratory and some are resident, how do they know which group to mate with? And could temperature be the thing that nudges a young darner down one path or the other?The first answer is surprisingly simple: they probably don't know, and they probably don't care.For a long time, researchers assumed these groups were reproductively isolated, believing residents emerged and died before the migratory cohort reached adulthood, but modern research has overturned this idea. According to a comprehensive review by Michael L. May and John H. Matthews, adult flight periods absolutely overlap in mid-summer, and genetic testing reveals zero genetic differentiation between the groups. The entire continental population belongs to a single, randomly mating gene pool. So when a Common Green Darner is ready to mate, it is probably not checking whether the other darner is from the “resident” or “migratory” team. It is just mating with another mature Common Green Darner in the same airspace. Very romantic. Very dragonfly.Steve's second question gets at something even more interesting: what makes one generation migrate while another stays put?This is where temperature, day length, and seasonal timing seem to matter a lot. A Green Darner nymph developing in warm water during long summer days may be pushed toward faster development. That can produce adults that emerge, feed heavily, build up energy reserves, and migrate south in late summer or fall.But if nymphs are developing as temperatures drop and days get shorter, their development can slow down. Instead of rushing to become adults, they may overwinter as aquatic nymphs and emerge the following year. Those individuals can then become part of the resident breeding population in northern ponds.So Steve's instinct was basically right: environmental conditions appear to play a huge role in shaping whether a darner develops quickly and migrates, or slows down and overwinters.The only thing to be careful about is the phrase “genetic switch.” There probably are changes in gene expression involved. Temperature and day length can absolutely affect how insects develop, but in Common Green Darners, we should probably think of it less as a single switch being flipped and more as a whole developmental pathway being shaped by the environment.The short version: migratory and resident Green Darners are not separate species or rival dragonfly factions. They appear to be part of one big, mixed population whose life cycle can play out in different ways depending on timing, temperature, and local conditions.Sponsors and Ways to Support UsThank you to Always Wandering Art (Website and Etsy Shop) for providing the artwork for many of our episodes.Support us on Patreon.Works CitedHallworth, M.

I recently got a certificate in functional nutrition and I have thoughts. Starting with the fact that staying hydrated and fueling your body with nutrients will be—not can be, will be—a game-changer for your vestibular disorder. In this episode, I’m breaking down something that comes up over and over again in Vestibular Group Fit: how much what you eat (and drink!) actually matters when you have a vestibular disorder. This isn’t about going on a perfect diet or never eating processed foods again. It’s about understanding how blood sugar regulation, hydration, inflammation, gut health, and hormones are all connected to your dizziness. And what small, manageable steps you can take to start feeling better. In this episode, we'll dig into: Why diet & hydration are foundational basics for managing a vestibular disorder How blood sugar crashes — including overnight ones — can trigger dizziness & attacks Why skipping meals is practically a guaranteed migraine trigger The role of key nutrients like iron, vitamin D & B vitamins in managing chronic dizziness How inflammation connects to vestibular disorders — and how food either fuels or fights it Perimenopause & menopause: how hormonal changes affect metabolism, muscle mass, insulin sensitivity & dizziness Endocrine-disrupting chemicals (plastics, pesticides, PFAs) & how low-tox swaps can make a real difference Why your gut microbiome might be the reason your medications aren’t working Practical, accessible ways to start improving your nutrition without overhauling everything at once You don’t have to eat perfectly! You just have to start somewhere because the better your nutrition and hydration are, the better you will feel.

February 24, 2020, started out like any other day for journalist and television anchor Dion Lim of San Francisco's ABC News. Planning her pitches for the morning's editorial meeting, she checked her Instagram account and saw a message from someone she didn't recognize. Attached was a horrifying video in which men were beating and yelling racist slurs at an elderly Asian man who had been collecting cans in the Bayview neighborhood of San Francisco. Lim felt compelled to investigate the story, help the man who “looked freakishly like my dad,” and bring the perpetrators to justice. Thus began Lim's four-years-and-counting quest to bring attention to the appalling rise of anti-Asian hate and violence in America, which she chronicles in her new book. Featuring an emotional foreword by actress and outspoken anti-Asian harassment advocate Olivia Munn, Amplify! My Fight for Asian America (from Third State Books) brings readers on an eye-opening journey alongside Lim, who has unwittingly become a national hero for her relentless fight for Asian American visibility. Through deeply personal anecdotes about her own life as a Chinese American, exclusive interviews with survivors, activists, and historians, and incisive historical context, she provides the very first book to tackle one of the biggest political and social controversies of this century from the perspective of the AAPI community. Come meet Lim and hear her story. See more Michelle Meow Show programs at Commonwealth Club World Affairs of California. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Despite the implications of its subtitle, this is not a travel guide to Singapore, although readers run the risk of becoming tempted to venture there. Author Lim Tse Wei begins this collection of essays with the candid admission, “I am a somewhat unusual cook. My main qualification for the profession is that I was born and raised in Singapore, where food is both secular obsession and national religion. I didn't learn to cook at my mother's side, or my grandmother's, and although my grandfather had been a cook for some years, we didn't speak of it in the family. In Singapore, good sons do not learn to cook.” Lim's dry commentary and insight introduces us to a world of striking juxtapositions, from expatriate French chefs preparing food for diners in Chippendale chairs to street hawkers who struggle to make a living wage, let alone one that would allow them to feel like full-fledged members of Singaporean society. He makes his grandmother's recipe for lou arh, braised duck, in suburban Massachussets and questions why anyone would export Tabasco sauce to Southeast Asia, “home of the most nuanced and varied chilli-eating culture on the planet.” There are a few recipes, some traditional, some not at all, included to illustrate ideas rather than to command us to act. And although Lim makes no attempt to be systematic in his coverage, he still paints a vivid picture of the city-state's culinary culture. Little Perfections: Eating in Singapore (Kitchen Arts and Letters, 2026) is available to purchase exclusively at Kitchen Arts & Letters. This interview was conducted by Ernest Lee, PhD student at the University of Chicago. He researches the history of postcolonial energy through the lens of development, infrastructure and environment, with a focus on West Africa and Southeast Asia. Learn more about your ad choices.

Her newest book, Against Breaking, is an expanded version of her final talk as Poet Laureate - and a celebration of poetry's ability to heal and connect us. Her awards include a Guggenheim Fellowship, the National Book Critics Circle Award, and a MacArthur Fellowship. Limón was raised in Sonoma, California.
