"Dance Talk” ® with Joanne Carey and special guests, NYC Ballet principal dancer, Sarah Mearns and choreographer, Jodi MelnickIn this episode of "Dance Talk” ® , host Joanne Carey engages in a rich conversation with Sarah Mearns, principal dancer at New York City Ballet, and choreographer Jodi Melnick. They explore their individual journeys into dance, the evolution of their collaboration over the past decade, and the creation of their new piece, Super Bloom, which celebrates women in dance. The discussion highlights the importance of joy in the creative process, the impact of social media on live performance, and the bridging of ballet and modern dance. Both artists emphasize the need for authenticity and presence in their work, making this a compelling dialogue about the future of dance.Sara Mearns was born in Columbia, South Carolina, and began her dance training at the age of three with Ann Brodie at the Calvert-Brodie School of Dance, also in Columbia.At the age of 13, Ms. Mearns trained with Patricia McBride at Dance Place, the School of North Carolina Dance Theatre, in Charlotte. She continued her studies at age 14 with Stanislav Issaev at the South Carolina Governor's School for the Arts and Humanities in Greenville.Ms. Mearns entered the School of American Ballet (SAB), the official school of New York City Ballet, full time in the fall of 2001. In the fall of 2003 Ms. Mearns became an apprentice with New York City Ballet.As an apprentice, Ms. Mearns danced a featured role in Michel Fokine's Chopiniana, performed by SAB as part of New York City Ballet's 2004 winter season.In June of 2004, Ms. Mearns joined the Company as a member of the corps de ballet.In March of 2006 she was promoted to soloist and in June 2008, Ms. Mearns was promoted to principal dancer. Jodi Melnick is a NYC based choreographer, performer, and teacher. The profound expression of the dancing body and lucid performing instincts drive her creative process as the work is transformed through the phenomenon of movement. Her rich dance background includes dancing for Twyla Tharp, collaborating with Trisha Brown and years of creative experiences with esteemed artists such as Sara Rudner, David Neumann, Rashaun Mitchell, Silas Reiner, Liz Roche, Jon Kinzel, Vicky Shick, John Jasperse, Susan Rethorst, Donna Uchizono, Yoshiko Chuma, Charles Atlas, Sibyl Kempson, and most recently, Maya Lee-Parritz. Her post – modern, experimental sensibilities have intersected with NYCBallet principal dancers, and middle and highs schoolers. Honors include, Doris Duke Impact Award, Guggenheim Fellow, Jerome Robbins New Essential Works Grant, Foundation for Contemporary Arts Grant, two Bessie Awards, Gibney's DIP Residency Grant, Lower Manhattan Cultural Center 2 -year extended Life Grant, and Center for Ballet Arts Fellow.Superbloom (Dancing Into Choreographic Forms) is a world premiere that reaches into the dance made at 92NY. Part of Women Move the World, 92NY's 2025/26 Harkness Mainstage Series, this reflective and evocative performance honors the evolution of dance while continuously redefining a movement language that represents where we are right now.Get Tickets https://www.92ny.org/event/superbloom-dancing-into-choreographic-forms“Dance Talk” ® with Joanne Carey "Where the Dance World Connects, the Conversations Inspire, and Where We Are Keeping Them Real."⁠⁠⁠⁠https://dancetalkwithjoannecarey.com/⁠⁠⁠⁠Please leave us a Review.Please help support the podcast:⁠⁠⁠⁠https://gofund.me/e561b42ac⁠⁠

The Big Experiment
From Jellyfish to Wound Healing with Dr Andrew Mearns-Spragg

The Big Experiment

What if the solution to chronic wound healing has been floating in our oceans for 600 million years?Jellyfish collagen isn't just different from the cow and pig-derived materials used in medicine today. It's actually better at healing human tissue.I sit down with Dr Andrew Mearns-Spragg, Founder and Chief Scientific Officer at Jellagen, who's proving this remarkable claim with hard data. His research shows jellyfish collagen outperforms traditional materials in vocal fold repair, triggers faster transitions from inflammation to healing, and creates longer-lasting tissue structure. The secret lies in what Andrew calls "collagen type zero," an evolutionarily ancient form that our bodies recognise differently, prompting superior healing responses without the prolonged inflammatory reactions seen with mammalian sources.Beyond the compelling science, Andrew reveals how he built the world's first ISO-certified medical device manufacturing plant for jellyfish collagen from scratch. We explore the practical realities of sustainable harvesting (achieving near-zero bycatch), navigating FDA regulations for an entirely novel biomaterial, and convincing investors to back marine biotechnology. This venture extends beyond the laboratory. By harvesting jellyfish blooms caused by overfishing, Jellagen addresses an ecological problem while creating advanced wound care solutions and providing alternative income for local fishing communities struggling with depleted fish stocks."The jellyfish collagen transition to healing was much quicker and longer lasting." - Dr Andrew Mearns-SpraggYou'll Hear AboutWhy jellyfish collagen outperforms mammalian collagen in tissue healingThe challenges of building ISO-certified jellyfish manufacturingHow ancient collagen triggers better immune responsesSustainable harvesting methods with near-zero bycatchTranslating marine biology research into medical devicesThe cost of chronic wound management in healthcareNavigating the FDA regulatory pathway for novel biomaterialsSupporting local fishing communities through jellyfish harvestingFrom angel investment to medical device commercializationPlatform opportunities beyond wound healing applicationsConnect with Dr Andrew Mearns-SpraggLinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/in/andrew-m-006bb41/ Website - https://jellagen.co.uk/ Connect with me:LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/markdavison100/ If you need any lab equipment:Grant Instruments: https://www.grantinstruments.com/ Grant Instruments on LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/grant-instruments-cambridge-ltd/

Host Bob St.Pierre talks with Pheasants Forever and Quail Forever leaders Al Eiden, Ron Leathers, and Andrew Vavra about habitat improvement efforts in eleven western states. They also discuss hunting opportunities for 26 upland bird species found in these regions. Episode Highlights: • Eiden and Leathers discuss PF & QF's habitat work along the Bear River, which spans Utah, Wyoming, and Idaho and is the Great Salt Lake's largest tributary. These habitat efforts benefit upland birds and improve the Great Salt Lake's water quality and quantity. • The group also discusses the Bruneau-Owyhee Sage-grouse Habitat (BOSH) Project in Idaho. PF & QF leads this 617,000-acre project, which happens to be the largest single contiguous habitat effort currently underway in the U.S. • Throughout the conversation covering eleven Western states, the guys talk about hunting terrain and tactics for chukar, valley quail, blue grouse, Mearns' quail, Gambel's quail, and a variety of other species with a focus on Midwestern bird hunters with wanderlust to explore the West.

Host Bob St.Pierre visits with Will Primos near his home in Mississippi following a gathering to shoot Primos' collection of custom-made Purdey shotguns. Primos collection, which includes .410, 28, 20, 16, and 12 gauges, will be auctioned in December 2025 with proceeds shared by Pheasants Forever and Quail Forever, Congressional Sportsman's Foundation, Rocky Mountain Elk Foundation, Ducks Unlimited, and National Wild Turkey Foundation. Episode Highlights: • Primos talks about how his game call business and his popular television show, “Primos TRUTH About Hunting,” both got started. • Primos also talks about his love of wingshooting, particularly his fondness for Mearns' quail hunting in Arizona. • The donation of Primos' Purdey shotguns is being organized by the Congressional Sportsmen's Foundation and will be auctioned through Rock Island Auction Company in December 2025. onX Hunt is a proud supporter of Pheasants Forever and Quail Forever and they want to thank everyone who gives back to the birds we all love to hunt and the places they call home.
