Dr Todd Bond is marine ecologist who goes where very few humans have ever been: the underworld, or the deep ocean. There, he studies the strange, scary and often cute creatures who call the deepest parts of our oceans home.This part of the ocean starts at 6000 metres deep, and is known as the 'Hadal Zone'.Todd travels there in a small titanium submersible, not much bigger than his own 6'4'' frame.Waiting there for Todd, in the inky darkness, is mysterious and magic, and is still largely unexplored by humans.And when he can't get there himself, Todd sends cameras down to poke around these trenches and caverns.Dr Todd Bond is the Deputy Director of the Minderoo-UWA Deep-Sea Research Centre at The University of Western Australia. You can read more about what the centre does online.This episode of Conversations was produced by Meggie Morris.

Y'all, in over 3 years, I can't remember doing a full episode on the OCEAN! Until now - Andrew Lewin is a total ocean geek - in the best way! He grew up far from the ocean, but watched Jacques Cousteau shows and was OBSESSED. He has a Masters in Marine Biology, and hosts the How To Protect the Ocean podcast and co hosts the Beyond Jaws podcast. How To Protect the Ocean has over 1800 episodes! He was recording 5 episodes a week for a bit; now it's only 3 a week (plus a job)... and he's hosted the podcast for 10 years! His podcast topic is ocean conservation, and the reasons and ways we can protect the ocean.Andrew's message he hopes you'll keep with you: "You can live for a better ocean by learning about the ocean and making small changes in your lifestyle to protect the planet." We talked about recycling and mindfulness, so many things, really - My favorite takeaway from this conversation, besides 1800 episodes and recording 3 days/week - Andrew said "conservation is collaboration," and I was all done - that made me think, and it felt like a mic drop for me.

Berkeley Talks
Long said to be ‘too big to fail,' the ocean needs a new narrative

In this Berkeley Talks episode, renowned marine ecologist Jane Lubchenco discusses how a persistent narrative that the ocean is “too big to fail” has led to its degradation. While many now believe its problems are “too big to fix,” Lubchenco explains why we need to embrace a new narrative: That it's too central to our future to ignore.“There is a historic narrative about the ocean, one that has framed the way people have talked about the ocean and have treated the ocean for almost all of human history,” Lubchenko told the audience at a UC Berkeley event in March. “The ocean, for thousands and thousands of years, was seen as so immense, so endlessly bountiful that people thought it must be infinitely resilient and impossible to deplete or disrupt.”But now, she said, the impossible has happened — “it's depleted, it's disrupted, it's polluted, it's warmer, it's more acidic, it's deoxygenated" — and we need to create a new narrative, one that acknowledges that a healthy ocean is central to a just and prosperous future on Earth. While she admits there are “huge challenges,” Lubchenco stresses that there are solutions that already exist that can be scaled up, like enabling sustainable aquaculture, reforming fisheries management, employing nature-based blue carbon ecosystems and creating and strengthening marine protected areas.“This ocean that we have, that connects us all, that feeds us all, is at the center of climate change solutions, health solutions, food security, recreational opportunities,” she said. “This is really all one ocean. It is possible to use it without using it up. We're not there yet. But given what I've said, it's not impossible. And I think that these findings and these actions and these results are leading to the emergence of a new narrative for the ocean.”Lubchenco spoke at Berkeley on March 13, 2025, as part of the Martha Charles M. and Martha Hitchcock Lectures series. This lecture was one of two given by Lubchenco for the series, together titled “Agency, Urgency, and Hope: Science and Scientists Serving Society.” Watch the event on the UC Berkeley Graduate Lectures YouTube page. Lubchenco is former deputy director for climate and environment in the White House Office of Science and Technology Policy, and Wayne and Gladys Valley Professor of Marine Biology and University Distinguished Professor at Oregon State University.Listen to the episode and read the transcript on UC Berkeley News (news.berkeley.edu/podcasts/berkeley-talks).Photo by Daniel J.

Shark Conservation has been shaped by the tireless work of scientists like Leonard Compagno. In this episode, Andrew speaks with the legendary ichthyologist whose contributions to shark taxonomy and conservation have influenced generations of researchers and advocates. Compagno shares how he became fascinated by sharks, his groundbreaking work cataloging shark species, and his role in shaping the IUCN Shark Specialist Group. Shark Taxonomy is at the core of Compagno's career, and his insights into the classification and identification of sharks reveal why proper taxonomy is critical for conservation. Andrew and Leonard discuss the challenges of naming and describing species, the importance of understanding diversity in shark populations, and how science can support stronger protections against overfishing and finning. Shark Research is not just about science but also about communication. Leonard reflects on the changes in public perception of sharks since he began his career, and how media, advocacy, and dedicated researchers have shifted the narrative from fear to fascination. This episode gives listeners a deep appreciation of both the man and the movement he helped create.   Connect with us: Website: https://bit.ly/37TMqeKInstagram: https://bit.ly/3eorwXZ YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@beyondjawspodcast7591 Dave:  Website: https://www.lostsharkguy.com/ Instagram: https://bit.ly/3q1J9Q5 Andrew: Website: https://www.speakupforblue.com/ Instagram: https://bit.ly/37g5WkG

What happens after you flush? Most of us don't think about it—but maybe we should. In this eye-opening episode, we dive into one of the ocean's biggest but least discussed threats: wastewater pollution.Join us as we talk with Jos Hill, Program Director for The Nature Conservancy's Wastewater Pollution Program and creator of the groundbreaking podcast "waste(d)water." Jos reveals the shocking scale of this crisis: 80% of wastewater worldwide is inadequately treated, 58% of coral reefs are exposed to wastewater pollution, and wastewater accounts for a staggering 40% of coastal nutrient pollution—nearly as much as agriculture.Discover how even highly treated wastewater can devastate marine ecosystems, why coral disease outbreaks in the Florida Keys have been traced back to human gut pathogens, and how nutrient-rich wastewater is making coral reefs more vulnerable to marine heat waves and climate change.But this isn't just doom and gloom—Jos shares inspiring recovery stories from Kaneohe Bay in Hawaii and Tampa Bay in Florida, proving that when pollution is addressed, ecosystems can bounce back. Learn about innovative nature-based solutions, including treatment gardens that clean water while growing food for coastal communities.From the intersection of wastewater pollution and social justice to practical steps you can take in your own community, this conversation breaks the taboo around a topic that affects every person on the planet. As Jos reminds us: everyone goes to the toilet, so this issue is relevant to everyone.It's time to start talking about the dirty secret of ocean pollution—because we can't solve problems we won't discuss.Featured Guest: Jos Hill, Program Director, Wastewater Pollution Program, The Nature ConservancyLearn more: Check out the waste(d)water podcast and follow @wastedwaterpod wherever you listen to podcasts.

I had a great conversation with Dr. Rachel Graham: Adventurer, scientist, and founder of MarAlliance. She's dedicated her life to protecting sharks, rays, & ocean wildlife by empowering local communities from Central America to Madagascar. Her story just might change how you see the sea.  Brought to you this week by The Adventure Travel Conservation Fund Facebook   Twitter   Instagram Love the show? Subscribe,  rate, review, and share! Show Notes WHAT HAPPENED: There's this moment that I haven't stopped thinking about. A woman — a local fisher, part of a coastal community — who had spent years measuring dead sharks, told Rachel Graham she had a dream. Not a big one by the world's standards. But big for her: she wanted to scuba dive. There was just one problem: She couldn't swim. And another: She was terrified of sharks. But fast forward, and there she was. Certified. Scuba gear on. Underwater. Surrounded by the very creatures she once feared. That's not just a story about overcoming fear. It's a story about the power of inviting people into the process, not just preaching at them. And it changed her — and her community — forever. PRINCIPLE: People don't change because of data. They change because of connection. You can't create a lasting impact by staying in the ivory tower. Real change happens when you bring people in. Let them be part of the discovery. Respect their knowledge. And build from there. It's not about converting skeptics. It's about creating co-creators. TRANSITION: And yet, so many of us get stuck trying to do this work alone. We've got big visions, but we're either siloed, overwhelmed, or convinced we're not “qualified enough” to lead. We think we need a perfect degree, a perfect plan, or permission to start. We forget the truth: The people who make the biggest difference? Often, you don't have the “right” resume. But they do have the right mindset: curiosity, commitment, and community. THAT'S WHY: That's why this episode with Rachel Graham isn't just about shark conservation. It's about reimagining leadership, reframing “expertise,” and rebuilding ecosystems — both ecological and human — from the ground up. If you've ever felt like your dreams were too far out of reach, or your impact wasn't big enough… this one's going to shift you. CALL TO ACTION: If you've been quietly questioning your path or doubting your ability to make a difference, this episode is your permission slip. Get inspired by how Rachel built a global movement — one conversation (and one fish) at a time. Website: https://maralliance.org/ Linkedin Instagram

Shark science isn't just about understanding biology, it's about tackling the global forces that threaten these species. In this episode of Beyond Jaws, research scientist Chris Mull explains how international trade has become a powerful driver of unsustainable shark and ray fisheries. From luxury markets for shark fins to emerging demands for meat and cartilage, trade dynamics are reshaping conservation challenges worldwide. Shark conservation must consider the economics and policies behind fishing, not just the science in the water. Chris describes his work using phylogenetic comparative methods and applied research to uncover how trade pressures intersect with species traits, creating unique risks for different sharks and rays. Along with hosts Andrew Lewin and Dr. David Ebert, Chris shares insights into what the data reveals about overexploitation, the complexity of global markets, and how science can inform better international regulations.

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.

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.

How other species challenge our idea of consciousness | Peter Godfrey-Smith

Philosophy for our times

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.

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.

All The Sharks Netflix finally delivers what ocean lovers and science communicators have been asking for: a show that gets shark science right. In this episode, Andrew breaks down how the new game show sets itself apart from misleading content like SeaSpiracy and Shark Whisperer, and instead showcases real marine scientists, environmental journalists, and shark conservationists doing meaningful, ethical work. Sharks have long suffered from misrepresentation in popular media, but All The Sharks flips the script. With entertaining competition, engaging underwater footage, and actual experts driving the narrative, the show combines education with action in a way that makes conservation both fun and credible. This is the kind of storytelling that builds trust and gets audiences inspired to protect the ocean.

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.

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.

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

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/
