Happy Friday everyone. It sure was nice to have Eva back in The Shed after a few week holiday hiatus. This episode was meaty! Here are a few of the things we talked about:"How'd She Get There?" segment was Sellwood to Lake Oswego (including some very scary options).Why Eva is creeped out by lobster-style bike gloves (something about the devil).Michael Reiss and his amazing leaf sweeping work.Why I think it's time for PBOT to privatize bike lane maintenance I went on a huge rant about all the Vision Zero drama going on with PBOT, the PPB, and so on.The 82nd Ave Plan that was just adopted at City Council and why some transportation advocates don't like it.Why pitting bikes against transit (like PBOT is doing on 82nd) is a no good, very bad idea.The new Bike Happy Hour location on N Williams Ave.Closure of Cynergy E-BikesAnd more.Thanks for listening!
Kade is a small German village about an hour west of Berlin. The area reportedly has quite the pest problem, but rather than tossing them in the trash, one entrepreneur found a more sustainable solution: eat'em. Raccoons were brought to Germany in the 1920s and used on fur farms. The trash pandas were first released into the wild in 1934, and now the country is reportedly overrun by some 2 million raccoons. They are an invasive species, negatively impacting local habitats, species and ecosystems. So, local officials had few options; the raccoons had to die. However, one local butcher, Michael Reiss, wanted to do it in the most sustainable way possible, and he wound up making raccoon meatballs, jarred meat, salami, bratwurst and liver sausage, among other products, at Wildererhütte, his butcher shop.

Losing Streak Lois Reiss was a wife, grandmother and caretaker but she had a bit of a wild side too. She loved and I mean loved to gamble. She lost 100's of thousands of dollars and got into a dispute with her husband over her compulsion. After an incident with her husband Michael Reiss goes missing and Lois goes on the run. She takes off to Florida in search of greener pastures and makes a new friend Pamela Hutchinson. This friendship was in effort to steal her identity and sadly for Pam she went missing too. Lois Reiss is eventually found gambling her way over to Texas and brought to justice. Tune in to hear why and how!
68Objectivity has come to be regarded as a prime ingredient of reliable knowledge. But what is objectivity, how has it arisen, and is the notion in need of reform? In this episode of the Sheldrake-Vernon Dialogues, Rupert and Mark consider the recent work of the philosopher, Richard Gunton. With colleagues, Richard examines older understandings of objectivity in science and proposes an alternative which is truer to scientific work. In particular, the reductive idea that links objectivity with replication seems increasingly untenable, given the replication crisis in science. Instead, linking objectivity to representation provides a fruitful way forward.Rupert and Mark consider facets of the history of science, not least the difference between so-called primary and secondary qualities, as well as how science is actually carried out, with the role that imagination and aesthetics bring to innovation and insight. Might a new notion of objectivity be not only good for science but also become part of overcoming modern alienation from the world? Richard Gunton's paper is co-authored with Marinus Stafleu and Michael Reiss and is entitled:A General Theory of Objectivity: Contributions from the Reformational Philosophy Traditionhttps://discovery.ucl.ac.uk/id/eprint/10153750/3/Reiss_A%20General%20Theory%20of%20Objectivity_AAM.pdf

How is machine learning challenging human decision-making? Where are our schools, governments, and social lives headed in the evolving digital landscape? What is the place of moral reasoning in the midst of these changes? Dominic Burbidge talks to Professors Andrew Briggs (Oxford) and Michael Reiss (University College London) about these questions and their new report […] The post 1.

EMERGENCY MICHIGAN POD + FRANK OCEAN'S BACK (feat. Michael Reiss)
Some science teachers avoid or minimize evolution. Others ram it down their students' throats. Is there another way? Michael Reiss, who is both an evolutionary biologist and ordained priest in the Church of England, explains his method of evolution as a sensitive issue. With the growth of Muslim populations in the UK and Europe, this isn't just an American issue - it's a hot topic everywhere. See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.
Michael Reiss is a British bioethicist, educator, and journalist. He is also an Anglican priest. Reiss is professor of science education at the Institute of Education, University College London, where he is assistant director, research and development. We had a fun conversation about his recent Boyle lecture (you can watch it here). We discuss a number of topics: how is ethics framed and formed by our evolutionary heritage? Dawkins and the genes eye view the role of language and rituals in the formation of the self reflection how human fictions shape our living the emergence of religion within humanity and the social brain how religious practice preceded ethics and belief how ethics evolved among our species the nature of humanity's expanding in-group a shout out to Peter Singer You can find out more about the Religion and the Social Brian project here.

How evolution can help us understand child development and behaviour Dr Howard Ryland discusses the topic with Dr Annie Swanepoel who, together with her co-authors, Daniela F. Sieff, Graham Music, John Launer, Michael Reiss and Bernadette Wren, has published a paper in January's issue of BJPsych Advances. The traditional disease model, still dominant in psychiatry, is less than ideal for making sense of psychological issues such as the effects of early childhood experiences on development. We argue that a model based on evolutionary thinking can deepen understanding and aid clinical practice by showing how behaviours, bodily responses and psychological beliefs tend to develop for ‘adaptive' reasons, even when these ways of being might on first appearance seem pathological. Such understanding has implications for treatment. It also challenges the genetic determinist model, by showing that developmental pathways have evolved to be responsive to the physical and social environment in which the individual matures. Thought can now be given to how biological or psychological treatments – and changing a child's environment – can foster well-being. Evolutionary thinking has major implications for how we think about psychopathology and for targeting the optimum sites, levels and timings for interventions. In this inaugural Advances podcast, Dr Howard Ryland discusses the topic with Dr Annie Swanepoel.
Part 1 - Please note that this podcast has been edited to remove audience comments and questions which are inaudible. A handout is referred to at 00.18.38.704 - a copy of which can be found at https://www.stpauls.co.uk/SM4/Mutable/Uploads/medialibrary/Giraffes-handout.JPG The scientific consensus is that humans have been on the Earth for some 200,000 years of its 4,700,000,000 year history. There have been arguments about what this means for the creation stories in the Bible, but the growing understanding of the Earth’s history challenges us to expand all our ideas of God. In addition it raises fascinating and perplexing questions about, for instance, the Earth’s beauty and the violence which is also seemingly inherent to it. Why do so many of us find the natural world so beautiful? And is there an answer to the dilemma of the brutality that seems built into evolution –‘nature red in tooth and claw’? Michael Reiss will explore some of the questions that science and the study of evolution raise for us about the wonder of God’s world and our place in it. The Revd Professor Michael Reiss is a Bioethicist, Professor of Science Education at the UCL Institute of Education, University of London and a Priest in the Church of England. Recorded 10 March 2018.

This last week saw US Intelligent Deisgn proponent Michael Behe on the "Darwin or Design?" speaking tour of the UK. As well as hosting an evening event, "Unbelievable?" invited him to discuss ID with theistic evolutionist Prof Michael Reiss in front of an invited audience. Michael Behe is professor of Biochemistry at LeHigh University, Pennsylvania. His book "Darwin's Black Box" launched the modern Intelligent Design movement which claims that aspects of biology are too compelx to have arisen by blind Darwinian processes but entail the guidance of an intelligent mind. Michael Reiss is Professor of Science Education at the Institute of Education. Ordained in the Church of England, he was formerly director of education at the Royal Society before stepping down amid controversy over statements he made about engaging with ID and creationism in the classroom. They engage the topic of ID and evolution in front of an audience of scientists, church and secular leaders at Charles Darwin house in London. They discuss the limits of science, whether ID is a religious movement, the place of ID in the classroom and take questions from the audience.
