Join Ellen & returning guest, science communicator and comedy writer Katie Goldin, for a roundup of her 3 weirdest facts about sharks. We discuss cage-free uranium, possible mermaid configurations, why sometimes people poop themselves when they're scared, how fomo can conquer phobia, eye teeth, and so much more. Heads up: part of this episode's conversation is about cocaine. When it comes up I will have edited in some guidance for skipping ahead for anyone who might not find that suitable. As always, there's no profanity or anything graphic, but it is a topic of discussion.Links:Listen to Katie's podcast, Secretly Incredibly Fascinating!Listen to Katie's other podcast, Creature Feature!Follow Katie on BlueSky!For more information about us & our podcast, head over to our website!Follow Just the Zoo of Us on BlueSky, Facebook, Instagram & Discord!Follow Ellen on BlueSky!

If you need to hire 1 person, hire a team of people, or transform your business through Talent or Technical Services, Insight Global's team of 30,000 people around the world have the hustle and grit to deliver. www.InsightGlobal.com/LearningLeader My Guest: Tim Ferriss is the author of five #1 New York Times bestsellers (including The 4-Hour Work Week, Tools of Titans, and Tribe of Mentors). His podcast, The Tim Ferriss Show, has been listened to more than a billion times. Tim was an early investor in Uber, Shopify, Twitter, Alibaba, and many others. He's the creator of a new card game called COYOTE. Decision making - How can I win even if I lose? He viewed angel investing like his personal MBA. Instead of paying for business school, he invested in companies and learned about business by working with actual businesses. He didn't expect to make money on those investments. That was just a bonus. Think, “How can I win even if I lose?” Tim won with those investments, regardless of whether he made money or not on them. Key Takeaways and Learnings: Parents Who Foster Curiosity – Tim's mother created a "books are always in budget" policy despite tight finances. Used remainder tables at bookstores to expose him to random, off-menu knowledge that sparked lifelong curiosity about unconventional topics. Curiosity-Driven Exploration – When Tim showed interest in marine biology, his mom found Frank Mundus (inspiration for Jaws character), arranged a meeting, and created low-cost adventures like crab fishing with chicken bones to fuel his interests. The Mask You Wear Becomes You – "Be very careful what you pretend to be" - spent years presenting as overly serious to be taken seriously, which created a recursive feedback loop. Now embraces more play and laughter to avoid burnout.  Fiction and Poetry as Life Teachers – Shifted from non-fiction purist to reading more fiction/poetry. Recommends "Ozymandias" as a monthly reminder that all achievements fade: "My name is Ozymandias, king of kings. Look on my works, ye mighty and despair. Nothing beside remains." Internal vs External Scorecards – Money and fame amplify whatever's underneath, like alcohol or power. "If you have certain insecurities or paranoia, all of those are going to be amplified. If you're generous, that's also gonna be the case." Effectiveness Over Efficiency – "Effectiveness is doing the right things, efficiency is doing things well, but doing something well does not make it important." Focus on choosing the right targets rather than optimizing everything. Strategic Slack in Systems – Moved away from filling every 10 minutes. Takes 10 minutes each morning with coffee to read fiction/poetry/meditate to prove "you do not have to front flip out of bed and land in a full sprint." How to Win Even If You Fail – Project selection framework: "How can I win even if I fail?" Focus on relationships built and skills acquired that transfer beyond the project if external metrics don't pan out. The COYOTE Game Philosophy – Created a card game to address the social isolation epidemic. "People don't have a shortage of productivity advice... It's taking some steam out of the system and actually enjoying what you have worked so hard for." Social Bonds as Foundation – "It's the relationships, stupid." Countries rated happiest fundamentally come down to social ties. In-person social interactions are down 70% in certain age groups over the last 10 years. Podcasting as Relationship Building – "My goal is not to have 100% of my audience like any episode... but I do want 10% of my audience to love each episode." The personal is the most universal. Fame's Hidden Costs – With the audience size of major cities comes proportional number of unstable people. "If you have a small village, you're gonna have one village idiot... "How many crazy people are there in New York City?" "Be suspicious of what you want."   Tim read me the poem by Ozymandias by Percy Bysshe Shelley "If more information were the answer, we'd all be billionaires with six-pack abs." Be a talent scout - You don't need a huge network. A+ players in one area know A+ players in others. Seek out people who are great at what they do, regardless of what they do. Study what makes them great at that thing. Then you'll probably meet other A+ players. Also, it's on us to strive to be an A+ player at what we do. Be so good at whatever your thing is that other A+ players want to meet you. Tim has been very good at that. Quotes: "Be very careful what you pretend to be... the mask you wear often becomes the person you are." "Be suspicious of what you want." (Rumi) "My name is Ozymandias, king of kings. Look on my works, ye mighty and despair. Nothing beside remains." "Effectiveness is doing the right things, efficiency is doing things well, but doing something well does not make it important." "How can I win even if I fail?" "The personal is the most universal." "It's the relationships, stupid." "If more information were the answer, then we'd all be billionaires with six-pack abs." "Follow your curiosity and obsessions with great rigor. Do that and I like your chances." "The superheroes you have in your mind are nearly all walking flaws who've maximized one or two strengths." "You don't need a huge network... the super A+ players tend to know other A+ players." Life Lessons: Cultivate Childhood Curiosity – Create "always yes" policies for learning and exploration. Use constraints (like remainder tables) to discover unexpected interests. Embrace Strategic Experimentation – View life as a series of 6-12-month projects with 2-4 week experiments. Design studies to get feedback, not just chase outcomes. Balance Seriousness with Play – Taking yourself too seriously leads to burnout. Build in recovery phases and "deloading" periods across all life areas. Choose Projects for Learning – Select opportunities based on relationships you'll build and skills you'll acquire, not just potential external rewards. Start With Personal Pain Points – Best opportunities often come from solving problems you personally understand deeply, then expanding adjacent. Build Safety Nets First – Like Arnold's real estate, before acting, create financial/emotional cushions that allow you to say no and wait for right opportunities. Quality Over Quantity in Relationships – Better to have deep connections with fewer people than surface-level networks with many. Morning Rituals Create Calm – Prove to your nervous system you don't have to be frantic by taking 10 minutes each morning for something peaceful. Scratch Your Own Itch – Whether in podcasting, investing, or any pursuit, follow genuine personal interest for sustainable energy and authentic results. Prepare for Success Taxes – Fame and wealth amplify existing traits. Address insecurities and develop strong boundaries before scaling. Value Present Experience – Focus on daily energy in/out rather than constantly deferring happiness to future achievements. Apply to be part of my next Learning Leader Circle.

Fluent Fiction - Catalan: Summer Serendipity: A Chance Meeting on the Costa Brava Find the full episode transcript, vocabulary words, and more:fluentfiction.com/ca/episode/2025-07-24-22-34-02-ca Story Transcript:Ca: El sol brillava amb força al cel de la Costa Brava, caient en un mar blau i transparent com un mirall immens.En: The sun shone brightly in the sky over the Costa Brava, falling into a blue and transparent sea like a vast mirror.Ca: Les onades ballaven suaument, i una brisa càlida carregada d'aromes salins s'arrossegava per la costa.En: The waves danced gently, and a warm breeze, filled with salty aromas, swept along the coast.Ca: A un petit cafè emmarcat per buganvíl·lies en flor, Oriol buscava inspiració, com un viatger que desitja trobar el camí de tornada a casa.En: At a small café framed by blooming bougainvilleas, Oriol was seeking inspiration, like a traveler wishing to find the way back home.Ca: El cafè estava ple.En: The café was full.Ca: Famílies i amics gaudien de les seves vacances d'estiu, i només quedava una taula lliure.En: Families and friends were enjoying their summer vacation, and only one table was free.Ca: En aquell moment, Laia, acabada d'arribar, va mirar al seu voltant cercant lloc.En: At that moment, Laia, having just arrived, looked around searching for a place.Ca: Els seus ulls es van trobar amb els d'Oriol i, sense pensar-ho dues vegades, va preguntar:—És lliure?En: Her eyes met Oriol's and, without thinking twice, she asked: "Is this seat free?"Ca: —va dir, assenyalant la cadira buida davant seu.En: she said, pointing to the empty chair in front of him.Ca: Oriol va somriure i va encoratjar-la a seure.En: Oriol smiled and encouraged her to sit.Ca: Va ser així com, per casualitat, les seves vides es van creuar.En: That's how, by chance, their lives intersected.Ca: Laia era biòloga marina, amb una passió profunda pel mar, però anhelava alguna cosa més enllà de les seves recerques.En: Laia was a marine biologist with a deep passion for the sea, but she longed for something beyond her research.Ca: Oriol, amb el seu quadern a la mà, remugava sobre les seves pròpies inquietuds buscant noves paraules.En: Oriol, with his notebook in hand, was mulling over his own concerns, searching for new words.Ca: —Aquest lloc és bell, no trobes?En: "This place is beautiful, don't you think?"Ca: —va dir Laia mentre observava el mar.En: said Laia while gazing at the sea.Ca: —Sí, sembla que el temps s'aturi —va contestar Oriol, mirant la mateixa vista, sentint la calor de l'estiu i l'encant del moment.En: "Yes, it feels like time stops," replied Oriol, looking at the same view, feeling the summer warmth and the charm of the moment.Ca: Van parlar de moltes coses, del mar, dels somnis, i de com sovint la vida semblava anar massa ràpid.En: They talked about many things, the sea, dreams, and how life often seemed to move too fast.Ca: Oriol, normalment més reservat, es va trobar compartint les seves preocupacions i esperances.En: Oriol, usually more reserved, found himself sharing his worries and hopes.Ca: —Saps una cosa?En: "You know something?Ca: Des del mar sembla que tot tingui sentit —va afirmar Laia, amb els ulls brillant de passió.En: From the sea, it seems like everything makes sense," Laia stated, her eyes shining with passion.Ca: La conversa va fluir fàcilment, com una cançó d'estiu.En: The conversation flowed easily, like a summer song.Ca: Al mig del bullici de la Costa Brava, Oriol i Laia es van proposar quelcom inesperat: passar el dia junts explorant els racons amagats de la costa.En: Amidst the hustle and bustle of the Costa Brava, Oriol and Laia proposed something unexpected: to spend the day together exploring the hidden corners of the coast.Ca: Van deixar que el dia els portés, sense tenir un pla.En: They let the day take them, without having a plan.Ca: Van caminar per camins sobre penya-segats, van descobrir caletes recòndites, on l'aigua era més cristal·lina i el soroll del món semblava dissoldre's.En: They walked paths over cliffs, discovered secluded coves where the water was even clearer and the world's noise seemed to dissolve.Ca: A una cala amagada, s'aturaren.En: At a hidden cove, they paused.Ca: Aquí, sota un cel pintat pels colors del capvespre, Oriol i Laia es van asseure, deixant que el moment parlés per ells.En: Here, under a sky painted by the colors of sunset, Oriol and Laia sat, letting the moment speak for them.Ca: —Sempre he tingut por de no encaixar enlloc —va confessar Oriol, amb la veu trencada pel soroll de l'aire i les onades.En: "I've always been afraid of not fitting in anywhere," Oriol confessed, his voice broken by the sound of the air and the waves.Ca: —Jo també —va respondre Laia—.En: "Me too," replied Laia.Ca: Crec que ens necessitem més del que admetem.En: "I think we need each other more than we admit.Ca: I tu, Oriol, m'inspires a obrir-me.En: And you, Oriol, inspire me to open up."Ca: Aquell moment de vulnerabilitat els va unir.En: That moment of vulnerability united them.Ca: La seva conversa, guiada per la força de la sinceritat, va fer que tots dos se sentissin menys sols en les seves inquietuds.En: Their conversation, guided by the force of sincerity, made both feel less alone in their concerns.Ca: Quan el sol es va amagar darrere de l'horitzó, Oriol va notar una calma inesperada.En: When the sun disappeared behind the horizon, Oriol felt an unexpected calm.Ca: Cada un amb la seva nova descoberta, ficaren el dia en les seves ments.En: Each with their new discovery, they tucked the day into their minds.Ca: Oriol es va sentir inspirat, tenia l'inici d'una nova història, aquesta vegada la seva pròpia.En: Oriol felt inspired, with the beginning of a new story, this time his own.Ca: Laia, per la seva banda, va sentir el seu cor obrir-se de nou, plena de noves esperances.En: Laia, on the other hand, felt her heart open again, filled with new hopes.Ca: La brisa d'estiu continuava bufant, portant el promesa de noves aventures.En: The summer breeze continued to blow, carrying the promise of new adventures.Ca: I amb el descens de la nit, van dir adéu a la cala, sabent que aquells moments compartits serien inesborrables, sense necessitat de paraules constants.En: And with the descent of the night, they said goodbye to the cove, knowing that those shared moments would be unforgettable, without the need for constant words.Ca: La vida, de vegades, simplement es tracta de trobar companyia quan menys t'ho esperes.En: Life, sometimes, is simply about finding companionship when you least expect it.Ca: I Oriol i Laia, en aquella jornada d'estiu, havien trobat més del que havien imaginat.En: And Oriol and Laia, on that summer day, had found more than they had imagined.

The land we now call Scripps Oceanography has been home to the Kumeyaay people for thousands of years. A history of encroachment, colonization and displacement from coastal lands has challenged Kumeyaay ocean traditions and practices. Today, Kumeyaay-Iipay-Tipay people are actively revitalizing Indigenous ocean culture. As part of Perspectives on Ocean Science Lecture Series, Stan Rodriguez and Priscilla Ortiz Sawah of the Iipay Nation of Santa Ysabel, and Andrew James Pittman of the Los Coyotes Band and Cupeño Indians, talk about the history of the Kumeyaay culture in the region. Through community efforts, they are rebuilding traditional ha kwaiyo (tule boats), harvesting ha shupill (grunion) and teaching language about the ocean (ha silowik). These intergenerational practices embody Indigenous resilience, resistance and revival — nurturing and evolving Indigenous ocean knowledge, culture and traditions. Series: "Jeffrey B.

In this IAI Studio interview, philosopher and science writer Peter Godfrey-Smith explores the evolution of consciousness and the enduring mystery of the mind–body problem. Drawing on his work with octopuses and other animals, he argues that consciousness emerged gradually through increasingly complex forms of sensory-motor interaction, rather than as a sudden leap. Using cephalopods as a case study, he shows how minds can evolve in radically different ways, suggesting that subjective experience is more widespread,and varied, than we often assume. The conversation touches on ethics, the limits of physicalism, and how studying animal minds can reshape our understanding of our own.Peter Godfrey-Smith is a philosopher of science and a leading thinker on the evolution of consciousness and animal minds. He is a professor at the University of Sydney and the author of several acclaimed books, including Other Minds: The Octopus, the Sea, and the Deep Origins of Consciousness and Metazoa: Animal Life and the Birth of the Mind. His work combines philosophy, biology, and firsthand experience with marine animals to explore how subjective experience arises in the natural world. Through his research and writing, Godfrey-Smith offers a compelling naturalistic account of the mind that bridges science and philosophy.To witness such topics discussed live buy tickets for our upcoming festival: https://howthelightgetsin.org/festivals/And visit our website for many more articles, videos, and podcasts like this one: https://iai.tv/You can find everything we referenced here: https://linktr.ee/philosophyforourtimesSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Article by Connor Yeck Plunge into the shallows off the Florida Keys, Hawaii or the Great Barrier Reef in Australia and you are likely to meet a startling sight. Where there were once acres of dazzling coral - an underwater world of dayglo greens, brassy yellows and midnight blues - is now a ghostly landscape, with many reefs seemingly drained of their pigment. Caused by stressful conditions like warming ocean temperatures, coral bleaching is a leading threat to some of our planet's most diverse and vital ecosystems. Now, a team of researchers has found that some corals survive warming ocean temperatures by passing heat-resisting abilities on to their offspring. Corals teach their offspring to beat the heat The findings, published in the journal Nature Communications, are the result of a collaboration between Michigan State University, Duke University and the Hawaii Institute of Marine Biology, or HIMB, at the University of Hawaii at Mnoa. This work, funded by the National Science Foundation and a Michigan State University Climate Change Research grant, is crucial in the race to better conserve and restore threatened reefs across the globe. Coral reefs are habitats for nearly a quarter of all marine life, protecting coastlines from storms and erosion and supporting the livelihoods of millions of people around the world. Though still alive, bleached corals are at a much higher risk of disease, starvation and eventual mortality. In their latest study, the team explored how resistance to thermal stress is passed down from parent to offspring in an important reef-building species known as rice coral. These findings are helping researchers breed stronger, heat-tolerant generations to better face environmental stress. "The Coral Resilience Lab in Hawaii has developed amazing methods to breed and rear corals during natural summer spawning," said Spartan biochemist and study co-author Rob Quinn, whose lab takes samples of these corals and generates massive datasets on their biochemistry with instruments at MSU. "This is a true scientific collaboration that can support coral breeding and reproduction to cultivate more resilient corals for the warming oceans of the future." A colorful crowd The kaleidoscopic of shades we associate with healthy coral is the product of a bustling exchange of resources between a coral animal and its algae partners. When all is well, you might think of this relationship as that of tenants living in a home and paying a bit of rent. In exchange for cozy, sheltered spaces found within the coral tissue as well as nutrients, algae use photosynthesis to produce sugars. These sugars can provide up to 95% of the energy that coral needs to grow and form the sprawling, breathtaking reefs we know. In tropical waters often lacking nutrients, disruptions in this exchange - like those that occur during bleaching events - can be disastrous. When looking at a specimen of coral that's suffered bleaching, you're glimpsing a coral that's "kicked out" its algae, leaving behind a pale skeleton. "Corals are like the trees in an old growth forest; they build the ecosystems we know as reefs on the energetic foundation between the animal and algae," explained Crawford Drury, an assistant researcher at the Coral Resilience Lab at HIMB and co-author of the study. In the waters of Kaneohe Bay, the Coral Resilience Lab is spearheading research to best understand this coral reef ecology and the molecular mechanisms driving thermal stress. The lab is likewise pioneering the breeding of thermally resistant coral for experiments and the restoration of reefs, a highly specialized process few labs in the world can achieve. So, while you'd usually be hard pressed to find fresh coral for study in East Lansing, MSU's partnership with the Coral Resilience Lab has led to a globe-spanning collaboration that closes the gap between field and laboratory. "HIMB and MSU have developed a really amazing partnership. I'm just happy they've let me be a ...

It's time for a new narrative for the ocean, one that reflects current scientific knowledge and acknowledges innovative new partnerships and solutions that center the ocean in our future. In this program, Jane Lubchenco, Professor of Marine Biology at Oregon State University and with expertise in the ocean, climate change, and interactions between the environment and human well-being, talks about the two current dominant narratives for the ocean are anchored in the past. The older one considers the ocean to be so vast, bountiful, and resilient that it is simply too big to fail. This first narrative drives pollution and over-exploitation of resources. A second, more recent narrative is that the ocean is now so depleted, polluted, and disrupted, and the drivers of those outcomes are so powerful and complex, that the ocean is simply too big to fix. A third, new narrative is emerging, based on scientific findings, existing solutions, and innovative partnerships and policies. This new narrative acknowledges that the ocean is central to a safe, clean, healthy, just, and prosperous future. This new narrative tells us that the ocean is neither too big to fail, nor is it too big to fix. But it is too important and too central to our future to ignore.

Mick Grant is a postdoctoral researcher at James Cook University, and in this episode of Beyond Jaws, he takes us on a journey from his childhood passion for nature to working with some of the world's most elusive shark species. His story spans groundbreaking fieldwork in Papua New Guinea and Indonesia, including the rediscovery of species like the sailfin houndshark, and the challenges of conducting research in remote regions. River sharks and sawfish are among the most threatened species in our oceans. Mick shares insights into their ecology, the conservation policies affecting them, and what it takes to protect such cryptic animals. He also reflects on the importance of mentoring the next generation of shark scientists and how research can be turned into real-world action.

Three major global challenges – climate change, loss of biodiversity and its benefits, and inequality and inequity among people – are typically tackled within three separate silos. However, scientific knowledge tells us that the three are inextricably linked. If the problems are not considered together, solutions to one may undermine solutions to the others. Moreover, more holistic, integrated solutions can deliver multiple co-benefits. Success requires integrated solutions. Jane Lubchenco, Professor of Marine Biology at Oregon State University, talks about the historically ambitious, innovative policies implemented by the Biden-Harris Administration to achieve this integration. Lubchenco is a marine ecologist with expertise in the ocean, climate change, and interactions between the environment and human well-being. From 2021-2025, she served as Deputy Director for Climate and Environment in the White House Office of Science and Technology Policy.

Ocean Ramsay's new documentary, called Shark Whisperer, is out on Netflix, and this is my review. This episode investigates Ocean Ramsey's viral shark interactions, including her approach of touching and redirecting sharks in open water. We explore how these encounters influence shark behavior and why marine scientists warn about potential stress, habituation, and public safety concerns when sharks associate humans with food or physical contact. Shark Conservation: We break down Ramsey's role in raising awareness for shark conservation and her contributions to Hawaii's 2021 shark fishing ban. While supporters credit her high-profile advocacy with inspiring public action, critics question whether her methods overshadow the Kanaka-led cultural and scientific leadership behind the legislation. Shark Touching: We examine the controversy surrounding Ramsey's touching of sharks, allegations of chumming or handfeeding, and inconsistencies around her educational credentials. We also highlight how her large online following can inspire positive ocean awareness but sometimes leads to online attacks against scientists working on shark conservation through rigorous research.

Welcome to the ocean -- where your genitals are on your face, males give birth, and gender is more of a suggestion than a rule. You can snooze in a bubble of your own vomit or switch sexes overnight without anyone batting a fin. What a world!This week we're joined by Mike Scotland - marine biologist, underwater photographer, and editor of DiveLog Magazine. With 50 years of diving, thousands of dives, and two books under his weight belt (Marine Biology in the Wild and Diving With Sharks), Mike's here to tell us why humans have more in common with flatworms than we'd like to admit -- and how to keep your spines clean if you're a sea urchin.

More than 2,000 marine scientists have come together at the One Ocean Science Congress in Nice, France. It is a gathering that will bring marine experts from all over the world together to share the latest discoveries about the health of our seas and oceans. It is an issue at the centre of the world's attention, because from 9th June, leaders and negotiators from 200 countries will arrive in Nice for the crucial United Nations Conference on the Oceans (UNOC3). Presenter Victoria Gill is joined by Murray Roberts, Professor of Marine Biology at the University of Edinburgh to find out what is at stake when leaders come together to work out a global plan to save our oceans from multiple threats, including climate change, pollution and overfishing. Professor Amanda Vincent from the University of British Columbia in Canada joins the Inside Science team to reveal her insights into the destruction caused by the controversial fishing practice of bottom trawling, which she explains is devastating marine life. Victoria also joins a team of acoustic marine scientists on their research boat the “We Explore” off the coast of Nice to listen for whales and dolphins under the surface. Their sound recordings reveal how animals of different species eavesdrop on each other and how to stop boat noise from drowning out whale communication. We also meet a team from a charity in Plymouth that is helping people who are living with poor mental health by prescribing ocean-based activities. Freyja Thomson-Alberts from the organisation the Ocean Conservation Trust explains why the ocean is central to our physical and mental wellbeing.Presenter: Victoria Gill Producers: Dan Welsh, Clare Salisbury, Jonathan Blackwell Editor: Martin Smith Production Co-ordinator: Jana Bennett-Holesworth

Dr Craken chats about two upcoming documentaries that are part of National Geographic's SHARKFEST.  He chats to Dan Beecham, cinematographer for "Sharks Up Close with Bertie Gregory". A new documentary where presenter Bertie and underwater cameraman Dan search the waters of South Africa for the elusive great white shark, and discover local conservation efforts for this threatened species. The team film some of the amazing shark species in South African waters - but will they  find the famous apex predator? He also chats with shark scientist Candace Field from the series "Investigation Shark Attack". A six-part series about shark behavior and interactions with humans. What is it about shark behavior that leads to deadly shark attacks? How can we better interact with sharks to reduce the threat to humans and sharks alike. Both documentaries premiere on Disney+ and Hulu on July 5th.

Forget everything you think you know about viruses. In the ocean, there are viral giants so large they were mistaken for bacteria for decades – and they're rewriting the rules of marine ecology.Join us as we explore the fascinating world of giant viruses with Benjamin Minch, a PhD student at the University of Miami who has discovered over 230 previously unknown viral genomes using a revolutionary computational tool called BEREN. These microscopic monsters can hijack photosynthesis, manipulate their hosts like puppet masters, and dramatically reshape ocean food webs.Giant viruses are up to 100 times larger than common viruses, with genomes rivaling those of bacteria. Some enhance their hosts' superpowers – boosting photosynthesis and metabolism – before turning infected cells into viral factories. Others cause victims to clump together and sink as marine snow, playing crucial roles in carbon sequestration and climate regulation.From the Baltic Sea's viral treasure trove to practical applications like predicting harmful algal blooms, this episode explores how invisible giants influence everything from ocean food webs to global nutrient cycles. Discover why the ocean's biggest players might also be its smallest.Links:BEREN tool: https://www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/2024.10.09.617401v1Ben's research publications: https://idsc.miami.edu/pegasus-powered-giant-virus-study-yields-publicly-shared-bioinformatics-tool/

How much is a fish worth? Most anglers would immediately default to answering that question based on what the cost of that fish sells at market. The real answer, however, is much more complex! In this engaging and informative seminar, Dr Ben Meadows of the University of Alabama at Birmingham provides viewers an in-depth look into the economics of catch & release fishing. Using striped bass as a case study, Meadows engages listeners with relatable prose that helps dispel many of the myths of fisheries economics and provides a better understanding of how we should value the fish we all love.
