Over the past twelve years, the walls and shop shutters of Upper Manhattan have been gradually filled by giant paintings of climate-threatened birds, inspired by the species depicted by the artist John James Audubon, who lived in the area. Emily Raboteau's ‘Lessons for Survival' (2024) takes these murals, along with Raboteau's own photographs of local birds, as a way into exploring the challenges faced by a mother of two Black sons in New York City living through Hurricane Sandy, the first Trump presidency, Covid and mounting climate breakdown. In this episode, Meehan and Peter talk through the different aspects of Raboteau's project of survival, from experiences of gentrification and medical racism to the models it offers for dealing with existential threat and ‘justifiable rage', and Raboteau's stylistic achievement of bringing together the urban and natural environment.

Your microbiome is doing so much more than helping you digest food. Your beneficial microbes are constantly helping to keep opportunistic microbes in check—and this protection extends far beyond your gut. In this episode, I'm talking about how good microbes crowd out the bad ones, why balance matters more than trying to eliminate every harmful organism, and the fascinating connection between the gut, vaginal, and bladder microbiomes. The more I learn about microbes, the more I realize that everything is connected.

In this episode, Dr. Jane Fife of 3Bar Biologics talks about how to multiply microbial populations and how different types may multiply better in different regions.   Subscribe for more content on sustainable farming, market farming tips, and business insights!   Get market farming tools, seeds, and supplies at Modern Grower.

What if chronic illness isn't caused by the infection everyone is trying to eliminate? On this episode of The Longevity Formula, Dr. Brandon Crawford sits down with physician, bestselling author, and chronic illness expert Dr. Bill Rawls, MD, to challenge one of modern medicine's core assumptions: that killing the pathogen is the path to recovery.After his own collapse from Lyme disease, mold exposure, and burnout, Dr. Rawls abandoned symptom-chasing medicine to study cellular health, impaired autophagy, and what he calls "terrain." He explains why Lyme, long COVID, autoimmune disease, mold illness, and fibromyalgia may all trace back to the same broken mechanism.Follow Dr. Bill Rawls, MD:Facebook – facebook.com/rawlsmd/Instagram – instagram.com/rawlsmd/LinkedIn – linkedin.com/in/bill-rawls-md/YouTube – youtube.com/@rawlsmdWebsite – rawlsmd.com/resources/Products:528 Innovations LasersNeuroSolution Full Spectrum CBDNeuroSolution Broad Spectrum CBDNeuroSolution StimpodSTEMREGEN®For more information, resources, and podcast episodes, visit tinyurl.com/3ppwdfpm

Microbes rarely feature in discussions about climate change, yet they play a central role in regulating greenhouse gases through the Earth's carbon, methane and nitrogen cycles. As the climate changes, understanding these natural processes is becoming increasingly important to develop new approaches to clean energy, agriculture and emissions reduction. This week on Cleaning Up, Bryony Worthington speaks with Professor Emeritus David Kirchman of the University of Delaware, one of the world's leading microbial ecologists and author of 'Microbes: the Unseen Agents of Climate Change.' They explore how microbes drive the carbon, methane and nitrogen cycles, how climate change is reshaping ecosystems from permafrost to coral reefs, and how microbial science could help tackle the climate crisis, from microbial fuel cells and lower-emissions agriculture to biofuels, methane reduction and even emerging forms of carbon removal and geoengineering Topics covered in this episode: The microbes shaping Earth's climate Ocean carbon cycle Methane-eating microbes Arctic warming impacts Coral reefs and climate resilience Low-carbon agriculture Microbes powering climate solutions Climate interventions Leadership Circle: Cleaning Up is proud to be supported by its Leadership Circle.

Akkermansia muciniphila has been associated with improved metabolic markers and immune function in research, with studies exploring its role in obesity and Type 2 diabetes Research suggests Akkermansia may support intestinal barrier function, which has been studied in relation to inflammatory bowel disease and colorectal cancer risk Research has explored Akkermansia's relationship with the gut-brain axis and conditions such as anxiety and Alzheimer's disease, primarily in preclinical models Akkermansia has also been studied for its potential role in stress-related research Akkermansia supplementation has been studied in two forms (live and pasteurized) in published human trials. The pasteurized form was associated with greater improvements in metabolic markers in a small proof-of-concept study, though larger trials are needed

Dr. Shayne Morris didn't stumble into the microbiome world — he inherited it. Now CEO of both Systemic Formulas and Alimentum Labs, Shayne's grandfather started the company back in 1984 as a healer studying Eastern, Polynesian, and South American medicine, and Shayne spent his career turning that legacy into hard science: how nature actually produces healing, and why the microbes living in and on us — which outweigh every other living thing on the planet combined — do more biochemical work than our own 23,000 genes ever could. In this episode, we get into herbal genomics (Shayne coined the term "herbalomics" back when he realized compounds like turmeric were directly switching genes on and off), why methylated vitamins were considered fringe in 2007 when Systemic started using them, and the surprisingly recent science connecting fungal overgrowth to childhood ADHD and eczema. We also break down the Holobiome Roadmap — Systemic's five-stage system designed to make gut and cellular health personalized without handing a patient fourteen different bottles and no instructions — and why compliance, not complexity, is usually what determines whether a protocol actually works. Along the way: the real story behind why doctors started washing their hands between autopsies and deliveries, and details on Systemic's NextGen event in Ogden, Utah (September 18–20), where Freddie will be speaking on sales as a role of service.

Have you ever wondered why the color in your clothes can be so harmful to the environment? In this episode of the Grow Everything Podcast, Karl and Erum continue their BioDye series with Roya Aghighi, founder of Lite-1. Roya grew up in her mother's fashion studio and later worked in the industry testing new materials, but she decided to leave after seeing the pollution caused by traditional dyeing methods. She explains how Lite-1 uses engineered microbes to produce colorful pigments through fermentation, beginning with black, one of the most difficult and damaging colors to make sustainably. Roya also discusses why natural variation in biology can be useful rather than a problem, and why the biggest challenge facing biological dyes may be getting brands and investors to share the risks of developing them. She predicts that color could eventually become an important tool for tracking a garment throughout its life. Before the interview, Karl and Erum also discuss radiation-loving microbes, cuts to pathogen testing, and organisms designed with the help of computers.Grow Everything brings the bioeconomy to life. Hosts Karl Schmieder and Erum Azeez Khan share stories and speak with the leaders and innovators using biology to change the world. Biology is the world's oldest technology, and it can be engineered. So, what are we growing?Learn more at ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠www.messaginglab.com/groweverything⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Chapters:(00:00:00) Biology as a technology and why textile dye is so harmful(00:05:00) Microbe expeditions, Bikini Atoll, and a Cyclospora outbreak(00:10:30) Cuts to pathogen monitoring and organisms designed with computers(00:16:40) Meet Roya Aghighi, from growing up in a fashion studio to founding a biotech company(00:22:45) How Lite-1 uses fermentation to create a more sustainable black dye(00:28:30) Why biological variation can be useful information(00:34:30) Focusing on performance, testing, and regeneration instead of sustainability alone(00:40:30) The challenges of cost, scale, and shared risk in the biological dye market(00:47:00) Product standards, traceability, and the next premium opportunity in fashion(00:52:00) Quick-fire questions and final thoughts from the hostsLinks and Resources:Lite-1 Bio Roya Aghighi177. Dye Another Day (REPLAY): The New Way to Color Textiles with Colorifix's Orr Yarkoni178. Pretty in Pigments: Jesse Adler Colors the Future with Pitri180. Fungi in Full Color: Ricky Cassini Reimagines Dye at Michroma181. Can Hue Believe It? Gerit Tolborg's Quest for Pure Color at ChromologicsThe Next 500 years - Chris MasonBioAstraGrow Everything LinkedInBioInnovations Events - For 25% off use code: Grow EverythingTopics Covered:biological dyes, microbial color production, sustainable black dye, textile dye pollution, fermentation-based colorants, bio-based textile dyes, regenerative fashion, traceable garment dyes, synthetic dye alternatives, Lite-1 BioHave a question or comment? Message us here:Text or Call (804) 505-5553⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Instagram⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ / ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Twitter⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ / ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠LinkedIn⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ / ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Youtube⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ / ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Grow Everything⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Music by: Nihilore Production by: Amplafy Media

Copper is moving from background commodity to frontline constraint. Demand is rising fast, high-grade deposits are getting harder to find, and the lead times for bringing new supply online remain brutally long. That matters not just for renewables and electrification, but for the basic energy resilience of modern life: the wires that keep lights on, water running, refrigeration working, and data centres scaling all depend on a metal the industry already knows is becoming harder to source.Host Sylvia Leyva Martinez is joined by Liz Dennett, founder and CEO of Endolith, whose career spans Wood Mackenzie, AWS, and NASA-linked astrobiology research, to explore a biological approach to one of mining's toughest problems. Endolith uses microbial communities, what Dennett calls “the world's oldest miners," to help recover more copper from low-grade ore in existing heap leach operations. The company's core thesis is that copper supply can be made more elastic not by rebuilding mine sites from scratch, but by layering biology, sensing, and robust data architecture into brownfield operations that are already running. Liz explains how that works on site: low-grade ore is stacked into large heaps, irrigated with sulfuric acid, and treated with microbes that accelerate the chemical pathways needed to liberate more copper into solution. The appeal is not futuristic moonshot capex, but a modular, plug-and-play system designed to fit into existing mine infrastructure with minimal downtime. The discussion looks at why that matters economically. Endolith is targeting ore bodies and waste streams that are currently too messy, too low grade, or too contaminated to recover efficiently through conventional routes, including arsenic-rich material that can be especially problematic for smelting. In lab settings, the company has seen significantly higher recovery, and even modest incremental gains in the field could translate into a meaningful unlock when the underlying mine and processing system are already built.The conversation also asks why biomining may be having its moment now, after decades of false starts. Liz argues that the breakthrough is not microbes alone, but the combination of microbial science, cloud-scale data systems, and faster experimentation that lets teams build and iterate far more effectively than even a few years ago. From there, the conversation broadens into the strategic question underneath Endolith's business: how to increase copper supply in a world where demand is being pushed simultaneously by grid build-out, industrial electrification, and the explosive growth of AI infrastructure. The episode closes on the trade-offs that follow from that reality, from financing hard-tech mining solutions to building companies in sectors where the need is obvious, the customers are conservative, and proof matters more than hype.This Horizons episode Liz refers to can be found here: https://www.woodmac.com/podcasts/horizons/red-metal-green-demand/This episode is brought to you by twentytwo & brand – a marketing and PR agency built specifically for energy leaders.Lots of agencies say they work with energy companies. twentytwo & brand was built for them.

The composition of your gut microbiome may have an encompassing influence on your health, including metabolic, neurological, and digestive function The diversity of your microbiome varies depending on your diet, age, location, and other factors. Age-related loss of diversity may be a meaningful contributor to age-related changes in function and the onset of chronic conditions In conventional antibiotic treatment, roughly 20% to 30% of Clostridium difficile cases recur after initial therapy, and severe or refractory cases carry meaningful mortality risk. Fecal microbiota transplant (FMT) has been reported in some trials to have cure rates around 80% to 90% Akkermansia muciniphila is among the gut bacteria most studied as a key contributor to microbiome health Reduced integrity of the mucin layer has been associated with what researchers describe as leaky gut syndrome. Akkermansia muciniphila is among the strains most closely studied for its interaction with the mucin layer

How Everyday Antibacterial Products Could Affect Your Child's Immune SystemThis week on the Natural Super Kids Podcast, we're talking about the everyday antibacterial products many families use to try to keep germs away, and how they may be making it harder for your child's immune system to do its job.From antibacterial hand washes and surface sprays to laundry sanitisers, dishwashing products and teenage skincare, these products are often marketed as protective. But when used too often, they can reduce the microbial exposure children need for healthy immune development.In this episode, we explore:Why too many antibacterial products can interfere with healthy immune developmentThe two chemicals to look out for: triclosan and benzalkonium chlorideWhere these chemicals may be hiding, including soaps, sanitisers, laundry products, dishwashing liquids and skincareSimple swaps that support a healthier home without over-sanitising your child's environment

What do healthy soils and healthy people have in common? According to Dr. Ray Weil, they both thrive when they're kept active. And just like staying active begins with a purpose, every successful cover crop system starts with a goal. Jeff, Mary, and Eric continue their conversation with Dr. Weil of the University of Maryland, exploring how your objectives—from reducing erosion and improving water infiltration to building soil health and increasing resilience—should guide every cover crop decision. Along the way, Dr. Weil explains how living roots keep soils active, feeding the biology belowground, and strengthening the system over time. Whether you're new to cover crops or looking to refine your approach, this episode offers practical insights grounded in decades of research and real-world experience.If this episode got you thinking more deeply about cover crop systems, the University of Maryland's Cover Crop Innovation Center is a great next stop—dig into how researchers are keeping living roots in the ground year-round and rewriting what “resting soil” really means.Tune in, like, and subscribe anywhere you get your podcasts or 4thesoil.org/podcastAs always, we encourage you to cooperate with other farmers, graziers, and gardeners for peer-to-peer learning.

In a 2025 WHO report on global antibiotic resistance, they revealed that one in six bacterial infections worldwide in 2023 were completely resistant to standard antibiotic treatments. Between 2018 and 2023, antibiotic resistance increased in over 40% of the monitored pathogen-antibiotic combinations. The average annual increase in resistance sits between 5% and 15%. Bacterial AMR was directly responsible for an estimated 1.27 million global deaths in 2019 and contributed to 4.95 million deaths. Projections indicate that without massive interventions, deaths could surge by 70% by 2050, claiming nearly 10 million lives annually. Joining me today to discuss antibiotics, how they work, their history and antimicrobial resistance is Brenda A Wilson, PhD. Dr Wilson is a professor of microbiology and adjunct professor of pathobiology at the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign. She is also the coauthor of the fantastic book, Revenge of the Microbes, 2nd ED

Most people think gallbladder problems start and end with gallstones. The reality is much more complicated.In this episode of The Turd Nerds, we discuss the hidden connections between the gallbladder, hormones, bile acids, estrogen metabolism, and the gut microbiome—and why these systems become especially important during perimenopause and menopause.We cover:✔ Why women develop more gallbladder disease than men✔ The estrogen–gallbladder connection✔ How the microbiome influences bile acid metabolism✔ What changes after gallbladder removal✔ Gallbladder dysfunction without stones✔ DIM and calcium-d-glucarate for estrogen metabolism✔ Taurine, glycine, bitters, phosphatidylcholine, magnesium, and bile support✔ Bile acid malabsorption and chronic diarrhea✔ How we approach gallbladder health in clinical practiceIf you've ever been told your only option is to remove your gallbladder, this episode explores the physiology behind gallbladder dysfunction and the tools we use to support patients before and after surgery.Music provided by Blue Dot.

In this Episode we have Landen Schaelling, founder of Sacred Soil Solutions, sharing how healthy soil biology transforms plant health from the ground up. Drawing on years of homesteading, regenerative soil research, and microscopy, he explains why bacteria, fungi, and other microbes are the true engine behind thriving gardens and farms. The conversation explores the science of rhizophagy, microbial ferments, compost quality, and practical strategies that gardeners and farmers can immediately implement to build healthier, more resilient soil. Landen also discusses how understanding living soil can reduce fertilizer inputs, improve plant immunity, and restore natural ecological balance.Our Guest: Landen Schaelling is the founder of Sacred Soil Solutions. He is focused on bringing optimal and approachable microbial inputs to gardeners and homesteaders, while also teaching farmers in the American West how to implement soil-building solutions at scale. Landen has been homesteading through a permaculture lens in Northern Arizona for over a decade. In the last couple of years, he has devoted his focus to restoring holistic soil microbiology and using practical microscope work to verify and guide that process.Key TopicsLiving soil biologySoil microbiomeRhizophagy (plant root feeding)Compost quality and fungal dominanceSoil microscopySymbiotic Antioxidative Microbes (SAM)Microbial fermentsCompost extracts vs. compost teasSoil pH and alkalinityWater retention in arid climatesPlant Health PyramidComplete protein synthesis in plantsRegenerative agricultureHomesteading and permacultureKey Questions AnsweredWhat makes soil truly healthy?Healthy soil contains a balance of minerals, water, air space, organic matter, and abundant biological life. Understanding each site's history helps determine the best path toward regeneration.Why are microbes so important?Microbes drive nutrient cycling, improve plant nutrition, build soil structure, support water retention, and create resilient ecosystems that naturally suppress disease and pests.What is rhizophagy?Rhizophagy is the process by which plant roots actively absorb bacteria and yeast through root tips, consume them, and gain proteins, micronutrients, and growth-promoting compounds directly from living microbes.Why does compost sometimes perform better than fertilizer?High-quality compost delivers living biology rather than simply nutrients. Plants respond rapidly when beneficial microbes become available through compost or microbial ferments.What's the difference between compost tea and microbial ferments?Compost tea extracts microbes already living in compost, while microbial ferments grow stable populations of beneficial microbes that can be applied as foliar sprays or soil drenches.Why is soil history important?Past management practices—including flood irrigation, synthetic fertilizers, pesticides, and previous crops—continue to influence soil biology, fertility, and plant performance years later.How can gardeners encourage healthier soil biology?Build mature compost, reduce unnecessary disturbance, increase carbon-rich materials, apply microbial ferments, mulch consistently, and maintain proper moisture.Can healthier soil reduce pests and diseases?Healthy plants with complete protein synthesis become naturally less attractive to many insect pests while beneficial microbes improve plant immune function against common diseases.How does soil microscopy help?Microscopy allows growers to directly observe microbial populations, assess compost quality, diagnose biological deficiencies, and monitor progress during soil restoration.What common mistake delayed Landen's success?Using feedlot cattle manure overloaded his soil with nitrates, producing vigorous foliage but poor fruit production and severe pest pressure, ultimately leading him to study soil biology more deeply.Episode HighlightsLanden left a traditional academic path after discovering permaculture and dedicated his life to regenerative homesteading.Healthy soil depends as much on living biology as it does on minerals and organic matter.Rhizophagy has changed how scientists understand plant nutrition, showing plants directly consume microbes.Compost quality depends more on microbial diversity than simply creating dark, finished organic matter.Acidic microbial ferments can help offset alkaline soils common throughout the American Southwest.Living microbes improve plant nutrition, reduce pest pressure, and strengthen natural disease resistance.Soil microscopy allows growers to verify biological activity instead of relying solely on assumptions.Taking action before knowing everything is often the fastest path to learning and improving soil health.ResourcesBook RecommendationRegenerative Soil by Matt PowersLearn MoreSacred Soil Solutions School (Skool community)Sacred Soil Solutions educational resources on microbial fermentsFollowFacebook: Landen SchaellingInstagram: Sacred Soil SolutionsEmaillanden.schaelling@protonmail.comVisit www.urbanfarm.org/SacredSoil for the show notes on this episode, and access to our full podcast library!

We tend to focus on how climate change affects coral reefs, sea turtles and polar bears on melting ice. But we rarely focus on how climate change is affecting microbes — the bacteria, fungi and viruses we can only see with microscopes — which outnumber all other life on earth. So says science writer Shayla Love, who warns that a warming planet might be making those microorganisms mutate in a concerning and even deadly way. And that melting ice may even unleash new, unfamiliar microbes. We talk with Love about her New Yorker article, “Our Warming Planet Is a Petri Dish for New and Deadly Microbes.” Guests: Shayla Love, science writer; her recent New Yorker article is “Our Warming Planet Is a Petri Dish for New and Deadly Microbes” Learn more about your ad choices.

While we often think of sleep and diet as separate pillars of health, our internal biological clocks and gut microbiome intricately connect them both. In this episode, co-hosts Dr. Siobhan McCormack and Dr. Sheena Fraser dive into the fascinating, bidirectional relationship between circadian rhythms, sleep quality, and gut health.They discuss how our physiology adapts to 24-hour light and dark cycles, the metabolic havoc caused by social jet lag and shift work, and how our gut microbes actually operate on their own daily schedules. Plus, Siobhan and Sheena share practical, evidence-based chrononutrition strategies and explore how targeted dietary patterns, probiotics, and fermented foods can significantly boost your mood and sleep architecture.What We Cover:The Circadian Symphony: How light, dark, and our body's internal peripheral clocks orchestrate everything from hormone release (like cortisol and melatonin) to digestion.Sleep Architecture & Mental Health: The critical role of REM and deep sleep, and how just one night of sleep deprivation increases impulsivity and degrades mood.Chrononutrition: Why when you eat is just as important as what you eat, and how meal timing acts as a major environmental cue for your gut microbes.Social Jet Lag & Shift Work: The metabolic consequences of disrupted sleep cycles, including increased risks for Type 2 Diabetes, and actionable strategies to regain circadian balance.Nutrients & Microbes for Sleep: Exploring the science behind specific dietary protocols, the power of Lactobacillus, and how fermented foods support restorative rest.Scientific References & Further Reading:Conti, F.

Dr. Sydney Glassman is an Associate Professor in the Department of Microbiology & Plant Pathology at the University of California, Riverside. She studies how wildfires affect soil bacteria and fungi, with a particular interest in how soil microbial communities help ecosystems recover after disturbance. Her work focuses especially on mycorrhizal fungi, which form beneficial relationships with plant roots, as well as other fascinating bacteria and fungi that play important roles in nature. Outside of work, Sydney spends most of her time with her husband, her young children, and their two dogs (one an extra-large mixed breed and one an extra-small mixed breed). Reading books together is a favorite family pastime. She completed her B.A. in Biology with a Concentration in Ecology and Evolutionary Biology at the University of Pennsylvania. Next Sydney received a Master's of Environmental Studies degree in Environmental Biology from the University of Pennsylvania working with Professor Brenda Casper. She was awarded her PhD in Environmental Science, Policy, & Management from the University of California, Berkeley working with Professor Tom Bruns. Afterwards, she conducted postdoctoral research at UC Irvine working with Professor Jennifer Martiny in the Department of Ecology and Evolutionary Biology before joining the faculty at UC Riverside in 2018. In this interview, Sydney shares more about her life and science.

In this episode, we explore what happens when carrots ferment and how beneficial microbes may help unlock hidden nutrition inside food. We'll talk about the gut-brain connection, blood sugar support, estrogen balance, cravings, digestion, and why cultured carrots are so much more than just probiotics.

Matters Microbial #130: The Holobiont — Animals, Microbes, and Ecology May 19, 2026 Today Dr. Kevin Kohl, Associate Professor of Biological Sciences at the University of Pittsburgh, joins the #QualityQuorum to discuss how he and his colleagues study the interplay between animals, their resident gut microbes, and the overarching concept of the holobiont. Host: Mark O. Martin Guest: Kevin Kohl Subscribe: Apple Podcasts, Spotify Become a patron of Matters Microbial! Links for this episode The One Health Microbiome Center at Pennsylvania State University. A very fine essay on the holobiont concept for non-microbiologists. A general introductory overview of the holobiont concept. The holobiont concept and the coral symbiosis.  A partial history of the development of the holobiont concept. Dr. Casadevall suggests that context and thus outcomes describes the term "pathogen," and a similar analysis applies to the holobiont. A very short description of the holobiont concept.  Another overview of the holobiont concept in general, coauthored by Dr. Kohl.  Some basic rules for thinking about the holobiont concept. A video introduction to the holobiont concept, by Dr. Seth Bordenstein. I highly recommend this essay by the science writer Carl Zimmer, "The Human Lake," to think of the connections between lake ecology and microbial interactions with humans. Another wonderful article recommended by Dr. Kohl, by Dr. Margaret McFall-Ngai and coauthors, detailing the impact microbes have on animals over evolution and development.  The wood rat – creosote – microbiome connection to the holobiont concept, discussed on this podcast (coauthored by Dr. Kohl). The fascinating work by Dr. Kohl and colleagues showing the relationship between tadpole development and pond microbes discussed in this podcast.  A must read article by Dr. Kohl and colleagues, "Through the microbial looking glass: our shifting understanding of the holobiont and microbes as mediators of organismal biology," illustrates the development and influence of the holobiont concept. Dr. Richard Prum's book, "Performance All the Way Down," was discussed during this podcast. There is also a video where Dr. Prum discusses the ideas in this book, describing gene regulation as a performance.  Dr. Kohl's faculty website. Dr. Kohl's (very interesting) research website.

California recorded its second-lowest Sierra Nevada snowpack on record this spring. That's not just a bad ski season, it's a water supply crisis. Snowpack is where California's water comes from. And when it doesn't materialize, agriculture, hydropower, and fire suppression all feel the strain. Dacia Leon, CEO and co-founder of Supercool Earth, is building a company around a deceptively simple idea: use biology to make it rain and snow where it's needed most, on demand. Her company's core technology involves engineering microbes to produce high quantities of this pure protein cheaply, which is then used in snowmaking machines and for cloud seeding. Supercool Earth is targeting high-margin markets first, starting with a snow-making additive for ski resorts. It's a cheaper, greener, and scalable alternative to existing products like Snomax largely because it's made of pure, biodegradable protein (no bacterial cells), has no smell, and is stable at room temperature.  The company is intentionally using natural proteins instead of non-degrading silver iodide used in traditional cloud seeding to streamline the regulatory process through EPA TSCA, which is faster than dealing with GMO regulations. In this episode, Lara Pierpoint talks with Dacia about the science and commercial strategy behind Supercool Earth, the lessons she's carrying from Bio 1.0 failures, the public perception challenges around geoengineering, and what she'd do if $100 million landed in the company's bank account tomorrow.
