Send us a textThe scene on the beach was horrific. Thousands of mothers and baby elephant seals lay in the sand, taken out by a deadly virus.Dr. Marcela Uhart and her colleagues were shocked by what they found after the H5N1 avian influenza virus swept through a colony of elephant seals on the coast of Argentina's far south Patagonia region. More than 17,000 of the animals had died, their bodies ravaged by the virus.H5N1 bird flu has swept around the world, destroying poultry flocks and wildlife. Like other influenza viruses, it mutates constantly and swaps genetic material in a process called reassortment. It can now infect not just birds, but livestock such as cattle and sheep as well as mink, pet cats, sea lions, and human beings.It has devastated egg production and threatens dairy operations. The biggest fear is that it will acquire both the ability to spread from human to human and maintain its most deadly qualities. An H5N1 pandemic has the potential to be much, much worse than Covid-19 was.People can't be ready for the virus unless the world keeps an eye on it. That's what Uhart, who is Director of the Latin America Program at the Karen C. Drayer Wildlife Health Center at the University of California, Davis, is trying to do. That's why her team studied the bodies of the dead elephant seals and other animals killed by the virus.“Mammal-to-mammal transmission could be a stepping-stone in the evolutionary pathway for these viruses to become capable of human-to-human transmission,” they wrote in their report, published in the journal Nature.“What we can learn from what happens in wildlife is crucial,” Uhart says. “That is where these viruses evolve.”Listen as Uhart chats with One World, One Health host Maggie Fox about what her team discovered in Patagonia and what it might mean for every animal on the planet, including  humans.And listen to our other podcast episodes looking at H5N1 bird flu and how we should be preparing for the next pandemic.

Occasionally, I jettison the chief component of the “Talking Animals” format–a long form interview with a single guest–to give voice to a broader array of animal organizations and leaders, concerned animal advocates, and others who simply care about animals. That's what happened today, when I invited listeners to call in (or email) and briefly serve as the […] The post Callers & Emailers Are The Guests first appeared on Talking Animals.

Marcus and Corey What You Know 'Bout That trivia game for Tuesday April 29th, 2025.

Episode 300 The first genetically engineered synapses have been implanted in a mammal's brain. Chemical brain signals have been bypassed in the brains of mice and replaced with electrical signals, changing their behaviour in incredible ways. Not only did they become more sociable, they were also less anxious and exhibited fewer OCD-like symptoms. This work has sparked hope that one day we could use this technology to help humans with mental health conditions. But would you want someone making permanent edits to your brain? For the first time, climate scientists can now link specific fossil fuel companies to climate-related economic damages in particular places. A new method has been developed that can show the exact impact these companies are having on our environment - which the world's top five emitters linked to trillions of dollars of economic losses. Find out how scientists have managed to piece this together - and whether these companies are about to face massive lawsuits. As we reflect on the death of Pope Francis, we explore his legacy on scientific issues and his transformative stance on climate change. As the spiritual leader of 1.4 billion Catholics, he became an influential figure in advocating for better care to be taken of our planet. Will his legacy continue with the next Pope? Chapters: (00:28) First brain engineering in a mammal (10:57) Landmark in fossil fuel lawsuits (19:33) Climate legacy of Pope Francis Hosted by Rowan Hooper and Penny Sarchet, with guests Alexandra Thompson, James Dinneen, William Schafer, Chris Callahan, Justin Mankin and Miles Pattenden.

Two decades ago a group of NGOs came together with the government of Kazakhstan to save the dwindling population of saiga antelope living in the enormous Golden Steppe. Since then, the Altyn Dala Conservation Initiative has successfully rehabilitated the saiga (Saiga tatarica) from a population of roughly 30,000 to nearly 4 million. For this effort, it was awarded the 2024 Earthshot Prize in the “protect & restore nature” category. Joining the podcast to discuss this achievement is Vera Voronova, executive director of the Association for the Conservation Biodiversity of Kazakhstan, an NGO involved in the initiative. Voronova details the cultural and technological methods used to bring the saiga back from the brink and to help restore this massive grassland ecosystem. “When [the] initiative [was] started, the saiga would be always like the flagship and the priority species because we did have this emergency case to recover saiga,” she says. “But the whole … picture of restoring the [steppe] was always behind this, and will be now a long term strategy.” Subscribe to or follow the Mongabay Newscast wherever you listen to podcasts, from Apple to Spotify, and you can also listen to all episodes here on the Mongabay website.

We are joined by Dr. Charlotte Roy from The Minnesota Department of Natural Resources to discuss their research to determine if Minnesota birds and mammals are exposed to neonicotinoids. From monitoring simulated seed spills, to driving by farms to look for seed spills, and doing lab work with chickens to see how much neonicotinoids needs to be consumed to be toxic, Dr. Roy's research has answered many questions about wildlife and neonics in Minnesota and she has worked with seed distributors and farmers to make changes based on her findings.  

Dr. Paul Alexander Liberty Hour – We have no clear definitive evidence on spread from where to where, and ZERO instances of human-to-human spread and risk is just that...  'risk.' We know humans have gotten some mild symptoms as they cull infected birds, touching them while causing food shortages and driving prices up. I say again, focus only on infected birds (proven) or birds and animals with...

Interview by Kris PetersMelbourne rock outfit Shotgun Mistress have been riding the wave of their most recent album, Kings Of The Revolution ever since it was released last June.It was a strong, powerful and infectious collection of hard rock tunes that came as close as you could probably get to the exhilarating live experience of catching Shotgun Mistress on stage, opening the door for shows with Dirty Honey, Slaughter, The Poor, Mammal and The Midnight Devils as well as taking the band to Japan.After such an exhausting 8 month period you could forgive Shotgun Mistress for putting their feet up for a spell, but that's not the case. Instead, they are hitting the road again through April in support of legendary US rockers Winger - touring Australia for the first and last time with the full original line up.HEAVY tracked down enigmatic frontman Glenn Patrick to find out more."It is going to be absolutely amazing," he enthused. "We're absolutely honoured to be a part of it. We've taken a bit of hiatus for a couple of months since our album launch back end of last year and building up to this tour."We point out that supporting Winger is a pretty fair reason for breaking the hiatus."It was quite short-lived," Patrick laughed. "We had another tour that we were going to be doing with Mike Tramp in January which fell through, but instead of that, we got Winger, so we're super happy, because Winger, I think, is more where we sit musically as well."In the full interview, we discuss Shotgun Mistress' tour with Winger, focusing on the excitement of the original line up's return. They expressed gratitude for local support and discussed the dual responsibilities of a support act, including warming up the crowd and ensuring a smooth performance. Glenn emphasized the importance of showmanship and audience engagement, while also reflecting on the challenges of performing for new audiences.We shared insights into their music, with Glenn noting key tracks like Shot Down and Mary Jane for fans to listen to ahead of the tour. He also mentioned the positive reception of their second album, Kings of the Revolution, and the band's intention to explore new musical directions while maintaining their unique sound and more.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/heavy-music-interviews--2687660/support.

We all think we know the story of pregnancy. Sperm meets egg, followed by nine months of nurturing, nesting, and quiet incubation. this story isn't the nursery rhyme we think it is. In a way, it's a struggle, almost like a tiny war. And right on the front lines of that battle is another major player on the stage of pregnancy that not a single person on the planet would be here without. An entirely new organ: the placenta.In this episode, which we originally released in 2021, we take you on a journey through the 270-day life of this weird, squishy, gelatinous orb, and discover that it is so much more than an organ. It's a foreign invader. A piece of meat. A friend and parent.

We're experimenting and would love to hear from you!In this episode of 'Discover Daily', the IRS is making waves in government tech adoption with its upcoming acquisition of an Nvidia SuperPod AI supercomputer. This sophisticated system, featuring thirty-one servers with Blackwell processors, will be installed at their Martinsburg, West Virginia computing center. The system aims to revolutionize the agency's machine learning capabilities, particularly in fraud detection and taxpayer behavior analysis, marking a significant step forward in AI integration within government operations.In a recent study on AI energy consumption, ChatGPT's latest model GPT-4 has been found to use significantly less power than previously thought. Research by Epoch AI reveals that each query consumes approximately 0.3 watt-hours, ten times lower than earlier estimates. This efficiency improvement is attributed to advanced hardware implementation, system optimization, and more accurate calculation methods, though the cumulative energy impact remains substantial given millions of daily queries.Lastly, research published in Science has unveiled how birds and mammals have independently evolved complex brains through distinct pathways while achieving similar cognitive abilities. The study, led by Dr. Fernando García-Moreno, used advanced spatial transcriptomics and mathematical modeling to reveal fundamental differences in brain development between species. Despite using different genetic tools and developmental processes, both groups have achieved remarkable cognitive capabilities, challenging our traditional understanding of brain evolution and intelligence.From Perplexity's Discover Feed: https://www.perplexity.ai/page/irs-acquiring-nvidia-supercomp-bQ9BUXJuSLOUpHZdCJ.vEA https://www.perplexity.ai/page/chatgpt-energy-use-overestimat-cn02azRBR2._eM_sH2n_Pw https://www.perplexity.ai/page/complex-brains-evolved-indepen-uPS546tuRJaWwidjGvrNCQ**Introducing Perplexity Deep Research:**https://www.perplexity.ai/hub/blog/introducing-perplexity-deep-research Perplexity is the fastest and most powerful way to search the web.

In this episode of the Birth Like a Mammal™ podcast, host Lindsay Askins interviews Aly McClain, a Mother of four and an RN from Nebraska who transitioned from hospital births to home births. Aly shares her contrasting experiences of a Cesarean in a hospital followed by three peaceful home births, emphasizing the transformation and healing she found in home birthing. Aly discusses the importance of overcoming fear, the traumatic impact of hospital protocols, and the empowerment and hormonal benefits of mammalian birth at home. Both Lindsay and Aly reflect on their own journeys and the importance of asking questions, taking personal responsibility, and opting out of obstetrics for a mammalian experience in birth.Aly shares how her background in nursing, combined with her personal experiences and a commitment to unlearning medical indoctrination, led her to advocate for home births. She also discusses the impact of birth trauma, the importance of personal responsibility, and the healing power of understanding mammalian biology. This episode is a powerful testament to resilience, the importance of the laboring space during birth, and the hope in all of us for healing and growth.Key Takeaways:The indoctrination of obstetrics in medical and nursing school is legit. Informed consent simply does not truly exist in obstetrics. No matter your experiences or education, there is always hope for healing.Mothers and families must take back birth into their own power and decision making - nobody is going to hand it to us.Notable Quotes from Aly:“They use their authority to diminish your questions.”“We would just draw up the vaccine before we even asked them if they wanted them.”“I remember they strapped my arms down, and I just disassociated because i had to. I didn't even know where my husband was.”“On the drive home from that appointment, I told my husband 'I will NOT have another c-section again.'”"I couldn't even drive past the hospital.....how was I going to birth there?""The reason my last birth went so bad was because I didn't feel safe."Aly McClain is a dedicated advocate for empowering first-time homebirth Mothers to embrace the beauty and serenity of homebirth. Aly is the host of the Peaceful Homebirth Podcast, a Registered Nurse, and Homebirth coach, Aly combines her passion for holistic health, mindset techniques, and practical wisdom to guide expectant Mothers through every step of their journey to a peaceful and empowering birth experience.Support the showQuestions?Looking for further support during pregnancy?Birth Like a Mammal™ offers coaching, classes, and a birth prep workbook to help you prepare for a truly mammalian birth.

In 1954, a young David Attenborough made his début as the star of a new nature show called “Zoo Quest.” The docuseries, which ran for nearly a decade on the BBC, was a sensation that set Attenborough down the path of his life's work: exposing viewers to our planet's most miraculous creatures and landscapes from the comfort of their living rooms. On this episode of Critics at Large, Vinson Cunningham, Naomi Fry, and Alexandra Schwartz trace Attenborough's filmography from “Zoo Quest” to his program, “Mammals,” a six-part series on BBC America narrated by the now- ninety-eight-year-old presenter. In the seventy years since “Zoo Quest” first aired, the genre it helped create has had to reckon with the effects of the climate crisis—and to figure out how to address such hot-button issues onscreen. By highlighting conservation efforts that have been successful, the best of these programs affirm our continued agency in the planet's future. “One thing I got from ‘Mammals' was not pure doom,” Schwartz says. “There are some options here. We have choices to make.”Read, watch, and listen with the critics:“Mammals” (2024)“Zoo Quest” (1954-63)“Are We Changing Planet Earth?” (2006)“The Snow Leopard,” by Peter Matthiessen“My Octopus Teacher” (2020)“Life on Our Planet” (2023)“I Like to Get High at Night and Think About Whales,” by Samantha IrbyNew episodes drop every Thursday.

EPISODE 62 DETAILS Global Concern Over Avian Influenza In Mammals WOAH Raises Concern Over High Pathogenicity Avian Influenza (HPAI) in Mammals, Including U.S. Dairy Cattle The World Organisation for Animal Health (WOAH) has issued an urgent warning regarding the increasing spread of high pathogenicity avian influenza (HPAI) to mammals, including dairy cattle in the United States. As of November 2024, the virus has been detected in over 30 mammalian species, with cases projected to rise in the Northern Hemisphere through February. HPAI's Impact on Mammals and Dairy Cattle Recent studies reveal that raw milk from HPAI-infected cows poses significant risks, as the virus can transmit to other animals, including poultry and cats. This finding underscores the critical need for immediate and stringent measures to prevent the spread of this zoonotic disease. Public Health Risk: Low but Requires Vigilance WOAH emphasizes that, while the public health risk from HPAI remains low, the situation demands proactive efforts from nations worldwide. The organization recommends several key actions to mitigate risks: Enhance Surveillance: Monitor birds and cattle closely for HPAI symptoms. Accurate Diagnoses: Ensure HPAI is considered when livestock exhibit compatible symptoms. Timely Reporting: Promptly notify WOAH of any unusual cases in mammals. Strengthen Biosecurity: Implement strict biosecurity measures, including restrictions on raw milk from infected animals. Preventing Trade Disruptions and Promoting Research WOAH has cautioned against imposing unnecessary trade restrictions in response to HPAI, urging adherence to its established international standards. Collaborative research is ongoing to deepen the understanding of the virus's pathogenesis and transmission routes. Global Collaboration to Combat HPAI WOAH remains committed to supporting global efforts against HPAI through technical updates, partnerships, and international cooperation. These measures aim to mitigate the risks posed by this evolving virus and safeguard both animal and human health. Stay informed about the latest developments in HPAI prevention and containment by following updates from WOAH and related authorities.   SPONSORS Trans Ova Genetics https://transova.com/ @TransOvaGenetics American Gelbvieh Association https://gelbvieh.org/ @AmericanGelbvieh Allied Genetic Resources https://alliedgeneticresources.com/ @AlliedGeneticResources Clear Springs Cattle Company https://www.bredforbalance.com/female-sale Axiota Animal Health https://axiota.com/ @MultiminUSA Jorgensen Land & Cattle https://jorgensenfarms.com/ @JorLandCat Ranch Channel https://ranchchannel.com/ @RanchChannel   Questions & Concerns From The Field?

You have probably noticed that my explanation of serotonin is not what you hear elsewhere. This episode explains why, and gives you the raw biology of your serotonin so you can find your power over it.The HAPPY BRAIN PODCAST helps you spark your happy brain chemicals in healthy ways. Your host is Loretta G. Breuning PhD, founder of the Inner Mammal Institute and author of "Habits of a Happy Brain: Retrain your brain to boost your serotonin, dopamine, oxytocin and endorphin levels.” Details at: https://innermammalinstitute.org. Check out our new video course, Train Your Inner Mammal to Feel Good Now.(https://innermammalinstitute.org/course — 10% off with the code ReaderDiscount at the checkout.) You will learn to rewire your happy chemicals with small simple steps!Our dopamine, serotonin, oxytocin, and endorphin are inherited from earlier mammals. We control them with the limbic brain we've inherited from animals. The verbal human part of the brain doesn't understand what makes the animal part feel good, and that's why we do things to feel good that we later regret. When you understand the job that each happy chemical evolved to do, you can find healthy ways to spark them.Dr. Breuning's new book, Why You're Unhappy: Biology vs Politics, shows why unhappiness comes so easily to our brain. Why do they tell us that happiness is the natural state and unhappiness is a disorder? It's politics. The kind of politics that all mammals have. Find out more at: https://innermammalinstitute.org/why See video clips from this episode and others at:https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL1hyR2RHXp04OmVhFUKNh81FT5gffvplqIf you like The Happy Brain Podcast, please rate and review it to help others make peace with their inner mammal.Our happy chemicals evolved to reward survival behavior, not to make you feel good all the time. Your brain chemicals are like paving on your neural pathways, which wires you to repeat behaviors that spark good feelings and avoid behaviors that spark bad feelings. That's why we keep repeating or avoiding things without quite knowing why. To change these patterns, you have to blaze a new trail through your jungle of neurons. It's hard because it takes so much repetition. The Inner Mammal Institute shows you how to design and build the new neural pathway that's right for you, and motivate yourself to do the repetitions. Rewiring your brain is like learning a foreign language: we all know it's possible, but most people don't. You can be someone who does! You can build new paths to your happy chemicals so you flow there more easily.The Inner Mammal Institute has the resources you need to do that. It offers free resources, including videos, blogs, infographics, and podcasts. Dr. Breuning's books explain the big picture and help you plot your course step by step. No matter where you are right now, you can enjoy more happy chemicals in healthy ways. Get the details at https://InnerMammalInstitute.org.The music on this podcast was composed by William Sharp.
