Alan writes in, acknowledging that many animals use the Earth's magnetic field for navigation purposes. Given the shifts in poles and field intensity we experience due to convection currents in the Earth's core, how do they stay on course? James Tytko asked Miriam Liedvogel, professor of ornithology, to help find the answer... James - The best supported ideas include the presence of a tiny compass needle of magnetic iron oxide in the beaks of some birds. Or there's the radical pair hypothesis, which explains magnetoreception with quantum mechanics. Mirjam Liedvogel is director of the Institute... Like this podcast?

Topic - Magnetic Sixth Sense Humans likely tap into a magical sense that honeybees, sea turtles and migratory birds use to travel long distances. Magnetoreception is the magnetic compass aligned with the Earth's magnetic fields. Testing using the protein from a human retina proved that we're able to detect magnetic fields, but while it serves as a magnet sensor, it's unclear if we actually use it as a compass. We do know that when there are disruptions in the Earth's magnetic fields, people report sleep problems, mental confusion, a lack of energy or feeling on edge. When the fields are stable and solar activity increases, we report positive feelings, creativity and inspiration, likely due to a coupling between the human brain, heart rhythms and the nervous system. Extreme solar activity has been linked to some of humanity's greatest creations of art and our most tragic events. --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/drclaudia/message
Brainy thing: 24:18 Behind the Redwood Curtain: 29:40 What we’ve learned from our knitting (and crochet): Margaret completed her Quest Shawl by Linda Dean featured in the Jimmy Beans Advent Crochet event. It was great fun but she was glad to finally finish it. Quest Shawl:https://www.ravelry.com/patterns/library/quest-shawl. Then she completed several small projects: A souvenir from Stitches West, Rebecca Danger’s Wickedly Peaceful Polar Bear: https://www.ravelry.com/patterns/library/wickedly-peaceful-polar-bear-christmas-ornament. Some eggs including one by Nicky Fijalkowska in her book Knitted Birds https://www.ravelry.com/patterns/sources/knitted-birds-by-nicky-fijalkowska and one that Margaret freelanced on her own. Finally, to mix up needle sizes, she finished the Jolly Wee Elf by Churchmouse Yarns and Teas https://www.ravelry.com/patterns/library/jolly-wee-elf in worsted weight yarn and size 5 needles. In this process she became curious about casting on small circular objects and found the following links helpful: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hRHzIYEK7a8 and circular Cast on: https://knitmuch.com/4-cast-ons-for-knitting-circular-lace/ She also found a great tutorial for stuffing these items by Sarah Schira from Imagined Landscapes, famously a gnome designer: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pkSFzJDULFA Catherine sadly lost the bag with her textured blanket squares but started with a new project for the Welcome Blanket project: https://www.welcomeblanket.org/patterns/ .She’s using Caron's Yarnspirations in the summer berry colorway. Brainy Thing: How do birds migrate and bees find their way? One way is through magnetoreception and now scientists have recorded human responses to changes in the magnetic field. But test subjects didn’t seem able to consciously feel those changes. https://www.livescience.com/65018-human-brain-senses-magnetic-field.html http://blogs.discovermagazine.com/crux/2019/03/18/human-brain-magnetoreception-magnetic-field-sense/#.XJBsGGRKhFQ http://theconversation.com/new-evidence-for-a-human-magnetic-sense-that-lets-your-brain-detect-the-earths-magnetic-field-113536 Behind the Redwood Curtain: County residents are concerned that the Netflix series Murder Mountain will cast a negative shadow on Southern Humboldt County, but Catherine tells us about a little known treasure in the middle of remote and wild SoHum: The Redwoods Monastery or Our Lady of the Redwoods in White Thorn operated by Cistercian nuns and who also market their delicious honey. https://www.redwoodsabbey.org/ https://store.redwoodsabbey.org/collections/honey We’re back with Catherine and Margaret in the classic format of our podcast Teaching Your Brain to Knit, number One Hundred and Three. We share what we’re learning from our knitting: crocheting a shawl, knitting small items and starting a new welcome blanket. Margaret reports new studies that show that human brains respond to changes in the magnetic field but people don’t consciously perceive them. What does that mean? We don’t know. And Catherine talks about a remote monastery and retreat in Southern Humboldt.
Hosts: Ed Brown, Penny Dumsday, Chris Curtain-Magee 00:01:22 In 450 B.C., the "Father of History", Herodotus, wrote a 23 line account of a type of Egyptian cargo vessel. This was widely thought to be a fabrication, but a discovery in an ancient Egyptian port city indicates the account was truthful. 00:08:03 The earliest undisputed evidence of humans in Australia comes from a rock shelter in northern Australia and dates back to 65,000 years ago. Now investigations at an ancient midden - a trashpile - in the country's South could potentially double that time-frame. 00:14:18 Lots of animals, from birds to turtles to fish, can detect magnetic fields. But until now we've never thought humans had that ability. A new study suggests that a small number of people may be able to register magnetic field changes, but on a subconscious level. 00:21:03 Science on Top This episode contains traces of Mark Robinson narrating 'Why is Herodotus called "The Father of History'?" from Ted-Ed.

Flood modelling As parts of Cumbria and Somerset remain on flood alert, Adam looks at the science that predicts floods. Are our flood defences good enough and is climate change behind the recent cluster of '1 in 100 year' floods? Flood modeller Nick Reynard from the Centre for Ecology and Hydrology explains. What is a scientific model? Prompted by a listener's question, Adam asks scientists what they mean when they say they "modelled the data". He explores the strengths and weaknesses of using models to represent things as diverse as the spin of planets and field choice of skylarks. Magneto-reception Is there a 6th sense? Since the 1960s, it has been generally accepted that animals have a sense of magnetism. This may help explain how some birds are able to migrate huge distances. However, ever since this discovery, the mechanism behind the reception of the Earth's magnetic field has remained a mystery. Scientists don't know which components are responsible for detecting the magnetism, hence the search for 'a biological compass'. The quest has united people from a range of disciplines such as animal behaviourists, chemists and quantum biologists. Are scientists getting any closer to finding the biological compass? Escalator experiment Regular commuters on the London Underground know instinctively to 'stand on the right and walk up on the left' when using the many escalators on the Tube. But in a three week trial at one of the busiest stations - Holborn - Transport for London staff are asking travellers to stand on both sides. The idea is to regulate the flow of traffic. Will it work? Producer: Fiona Roberts.
