We spoke with ecologist Dr. Meredith Palmer and embedded engineer Akiba about lions, terror, and technology. Akiba works for FreakLabs.org on global conservation projects. We talked about their Boombox which Meredith uses to create experiments to map the landscape of fear in predator/prey relationships. While this may look like pranking animals with jump scares, well, there is real science being done. What would it look like to be smooched by a lioness? (Video) Bird hears lion, decides to go over there (Video) Checking the reflexes of some zebras and other critters (Video) These are lots of fun to watch and you can find the freshest ones and help out science by categorizing some at Snapshot Safari. Or skip to using the data on Lila.science (Snapshot Safari 2024 data). Check out Meredith's website for more github and Data Dryad links to data and science. If you want to get involved, Wildlabs.net has discussions around conservation technology. There is also a Slack group by Sara Beery focusing on AI for conservation. Elecia mentioned David Quammen, an author who writes a lot about biology and ecology. And now, a guy gives birth to a botfly.

In this Industry Tech Days 2022 keynote panel discussion, we get to hear from three industry leaders: - Michael Knight, President of the Exponential Technology Group and Senior VP of Corporate Business Development at TTI. - Jeff Newell, Senior VP of Products at electronics distributor Mouser Electronics. - Misha Govshteyn, CEO of MacroFab, a contract manufacturing company serving the electronics industry. You don't thrive in the turmoil of the electronics industry without seeing challenges as opportunities. This is evident throughout this discussion. Misha Govshteyn demonstrated this attitude as he reflected on the last couple of years: It's messy, but I got to be honest with you. I love It. We're in wartime mode, and I think we're trying to build a very different model for how to build product and how to do manufacturing. Believe it or not, it's actually very difficult to do without a crisis. Jeff Newell also has a lot of positive things to say about the unique opportunities of our current situation, including: If you give the engineers time to really think and create versus having to go to meetings and some of the overhead things associated with working in an office environment, I think we're going to see a lot of cool things come out of that environment…I think the number of new products is going to accelerate as we get through the next few years. If I were an engineer in today's world, I'd be very excited about that. This is a spirited discussion, and everyone from executives to engineers and students can learn something from it. Our Moore's Lobby host, Daniel Bogdanoff, leads a discussion that includes: - Gray and black market products and their relation to e-waste - Component engineers? What are they and why your company might need them - Why EE hardware engineers might be undervalued in the market - Advice for early career and student engineers

(1:05) - NASA Grant To Enable Explorations Of Concrete Behavior In Moon-Like Gravity: Colonizing Mars and setting up a base on the lunar surface for deep space exploration has been a hot topic for a while, but there is still a major unanswered question: how are we going to build structures in space? Concrete seems to be a pretty solid answer. Unfortunately, the microgravity conditions in space pose a challenge for concrete cures which can result in mechanical defects in the end product; however, Professor Yamamoto at Penn State has recently received a grant to study these defects and investigate methods to avoid them which means concrete villas on Mars might not be a far fetched reality in the near future. (12:17) - Learn About The Universe With The James Webb Space Telescope: The observable universe is about to get much bigger and we owe it all to the James Webb telescope. It will be the first to detect the light from the galaxies that were formed shortly after the Big Bang - approximately 13.5 billion years ago - and it is able to accomplish this using the new infrared sensing equipment that it's predecessor (the Hubble telescope) didn't have.But what does this mean for us? Aside from the cool new high definition images of the cosmos, we're likely going to find answers for some lingering questions but more importantly, stumble onto even more questions than we had before.

(1:20) - Smart T-shirt measures astronaut vital signs : Fun fact: astronauts lose up to 20% of muscle mass during their missions. If we want to make long-term space missions, we need to understand why and how this muscle atrophy takes place.

Executing a marketing strategy with marketing automation proves to yield big results in a short period of time. When Candice Willingham, current Director of Marketing Automation for Mouser Electronics, started her position almost 5 years ago she noticed a major marketing automation opportunity that was being missed. After gaining an internal executive advocate, she began the journey to implement Oracle Eloqua into the organization. Find out what Candice learned in this inspiring podcast.
This week on the show Jeremy and Jeremiah are joined by the co-directors of Man vs. Snake, Andrew Seklir and Tim Kinzy.

Goal: A design for a ring of LEDs that surround a control knob on a synthesizer and light up according to the position of the knob Requirements The circuit must connect to a potentiometer (this can be a dual gang version) example: rv16a01f The ring of LEDs must be centered on a 12mm radius around the potentiometer. Whole circuit must not be larger 1.2” W x 1.2”H x 1.2”D PCB can solder directly to pins on potentiometer Multiple PCBs is acceptable if needed Color of the leds does not matter although green or red is preferable Number of leds is 16 minimum and 32 maximum LEDs are arranged on a 300 degree arc (potentiometer has 300 degrees of rotation) starting at 240 degrees and ending at -60 degrees The circuit will receive external 5V power so it must have through hole pads for power and gnd CHEAP CHEAP CHEAP!

In many instances, however, these operational failures may be caused by the impact of electrically charged particles generated by cosmic rays that originate outside the solar system. This is called a single-event upset or SEU SEU failure rates for consumer electronic devices performed by Ritesh Mastipuram and Edwin Wee at Cypress Semiconductor on a previous generation of technology shows how prevalent the problem may be. Their results were published in 2004 in Electronic Design News and provided the following estimates: A simple cell phone with 500 kilobytes of memory should only have one potential error every 28 years. A router farm like those used by Internet providers with only 25 gigabytes of memory may experience one potential networking error that interrupts their operation every 17 hours. A person flying in an airplane at 35,000 feet (where radiation levels are considerably higher than they are at sea level) who is working on a laptop with 500 kilobytes of memory may experience one potential error every five hours. The engineer's bottom line: "This is a major problem for industry and engineers, but it isn't something that members of the general public need to worry much about."
