Back in 2022, I had the absolute pleasure of attending an evening with Dr. Jane Goodall, broadcast by Museums Victoria. Dr. Goodall is an ethologist known for her detailed research on chimpanzees in Tanzania and has founded the Jane Goodall Institute for Wildlife Research, Education and Conservation.For me, the biggest takeaway from this amazing session was this: every action matters. When we live with this in mind, we have the opportunity to lead with hope. In Dr Goodall's words, “Hope is about action and not wishful thinking…You must roll up your sleeves and start crawling and climbing… Every one of us makes an impact on the planet every day.” I've been thinking a lot about this recently and how the mantra “every action matters” is highly useful for us to use when reflecting on the three P's: Purpose, Productivity and Preparedness. So today we're talking about taking actionable steps to move towards our purpose and establish our goals - and how this can be done by making purposeful choices in all that we do.We'll explore:Making every action meaningfulGetting organised to boost productivityExamining our lives with curiosityWhether it's prioritising our health, staying organised or examining ourselves with curiosity, each choice we make contributes to experiencing life at its best and most balanced. So, join me today and get inspired to find the most meaning - and balance - in your daily life and actions!LINKS:Resources mentioned: Balance at Hand ChecklistConnect with Me: Website: www.balanceathand.com Instagram: @balance_at_hand

VYS0036 | Infinite Game - Vayse to Face with Joseph Matheny - Show Notes Some rare art transcends reality, some even rarer art seems to create a new reality altogether - the work of Joseph Matheny does both of these things while embracing the trickster spirit inherent in the magickal traditions in which his work has its roots. Joseph talks to Hine and Buckley about Ong's Hat, his "living book" project, widely recognised as the first Alternate Reality Game, and how it took on a life of it's own, not only for the people who were playing it but also for the people who created it. The conversation also turns to synchronicity and how his recent work, the Liminal Cycle, seems to generate synchronicity in the lives of those who engage with it, how his work connects so closely to magick, nature and theatre, his experiences in the North Pole and how they affected his writing, the use of magic in political systems and how the internet we know and love (to hate) today retains the legacy of the ritual magicians and DnD enthusiasts who created it...

The last known Tasmanian tiger to be held in captivity was found dead at Hobart's Beaumaris zoo on 8th September, 1936. The critically endangered marsupial was accidentally locked out of its shelter overnight and succumbed to the frigid temperatures. With the animal's death, a species that had once roamed across Australia for thousands of years went out with a whisper.    In this episode, Arion, Rebecca and Olly discuss why 19th- and 20th-century Australians hunted Tasmanian tigers with such enthusiasm; explain why Thylacines had been in decline for about 3,500 years anyway; and look into how close scientists now are to bringing the “dog-headed pouched one” back from extinction…  Further Reading: ‘The history of the Thylacine' (The Zoological Society London, 2016): https://www.zsl.org/news-and-events/feature/history-of-the-thylacine  ‘Tasmanian tiger: Remains of last thylacine found in cupboard after 85 years' (BBC, 2022): https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-australia-63855426  ‘Last of their kind: Caring for the Tasmanian Tiger collection' (Museums Victoria; 2023): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ykb66UCOMOY&t=9s  ‘Tasmanian Tiger in Colour' (NFSA Films, 2022) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6gt0X-27GXM  #1930s #Nature #Australia #Sad  We'll be back on Monday - unless you join

The scientists of the Australian Museum Research Institute are hard at work investigating the world's biodiversity – which sometimes means discovering animals not previously known to science. These discoveries teach us what has come before us, and what we need to protect for the generations that will come after us. In the final episode of Explore we head out into the field – from the deepest ocean trenches to the peaks of the Himalayas – to discover how the Australian Museum's Chief Scientist Professor Kris Helgen and palaeontologist Patrick Smith identify new species, and what it means to add new branches to the Tree of Life. Guests: Professor Kris Helgen, Dr Patrick Smith, Dr Tim O'Hara and the scientists aboard the CSIRO RV InvestigatorHost: Alice GageFind images, extra stories and transcript at australian.museum/explore-----Professor Kristofer M. Helgen is Chief Scientist and Director of the Australian Museum Research Institute. He is responsible for a team of more than 100 staff, including research scientists, collection scientists, collection officers and more than 130 associates, fellows and students, who research and explore the natural world. Kris was most recently Professor of Biological Sciences at the University of Adelaide. He has focused his research primarily on fieldwork with living animals and research in museum collections to document the richness of life, understand global change, and contribute to important problems in biomedicine. Originally from Minnesota, Kris gained his undergraduate degree in Biology at Harvard University and his Ph.D. in Zoology as a Fulbright Fellow at the University of Adelaide. Dr Patrick Smith is a technical officer in the Palaeontology Collection at the Australian Museum Research Institute. He obtained a PhD at Macquarie University looking at Middle Cambrian (500–510 million year old) marine invertebrates from Ross River Gorge near Alice Springs in central Australia. He also was a previous curator at the Richmond Marine Fossil Museum (Kronosaurus Korner) in far northwest Queensland and a technical officer in the geology department at the University of New South Wales. Currently he is working to database the Australian Museum's entire Palaeontology Collection. This includes all the material onsite, as well as the material at the museum offsite storage facility. Dr Tim O'Hara is the Senior Curator, Marine Zoology, at Museums Victoria. He uses museum collections to answer large-scale questions about the distribution of seafloor animals around the globe. This research includes aspects of biogeography, macroecology, phylogeny, and phylogeography. Tim's taxonomic speciality is the Ophiurodea (brittle-stars), a class of echinoderms that are a dominant component of the seafloor fauna. Alice Gage is the producer, writer and host of the Australian Museum's Explore podcast, and editor of Explore, its biannual magazine. Alice is an editor, writer and content creator interested in the nexus of science, cultural knowledge and art. She founded and published cult art journal Ampersand Magazine from 2009-2013.

Today's storyteller is Dr Joanna Sumner! She is the Manager of Genetic Resources at Museums Victoria in Melbourne, Australia. She's also a self described "flick falling herpetologist" and tune in because asking what that means was my very first question in this episode! Today we talk about the work she does, what that work even is, the kind of collections they have, about bio banks, and I ask too many questions about liquid nitrogen because I'm a nerd. I was really interested to hear about these genetic collections, how they're managed, what type of research they're used for, and it just seems like such a valuable resource. Also, Joanna and I are both in the 5th cohort of the Homeward Bound program (aka HB5) so we also talk a bit about that too - how she heard about it, why she was interested and applied, and what she hopes to get out of the program once we complete it!

Joseph Schubert is the Legacy Registration Officer for Entomology and Arachnology at Museums Victoria in Australia. He talks to us about his paper published in Evolutionary Systematics in which he describes a new species of peacock spider! We talk about why these are called “peacock” spiders, how social media platforms like Facebook are helping find new species, and how to find and collect these interesting little jumping spiders! The title of the paper is “Maratus nemo: A new wetland species of peacock spider from South Australia (Araneae, Salticidae, Euophryini).” The paper is in the March 25th issue of the Evolutionary Systematics: https://evolsyst.pensoft.net/article/64922/ To learn more about Joseph Schubert, follow him on Twitter, @arachno_joe, or visit: https://museumsvictoria.com.au/about-us/staff/joseph-schubert/ The first video about peacock spiders by Jürgen Otto: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9GgAbyYDFeg Be sure to follow New Species on Twitter (@PodcastSpecies), like the podcast page on Facebook (https://www.facebook.com/NewSpeciesPodcast), and music in this podcast is "No More (Instrumental)," by HaTom (https://fanlink.to/HaTom).

Christmas has come early at the Melbourne Museum but it's been sixty million years in the making. The museum will soon be home to the most complete Triceratops fossil ever found - it's been called the Rosetta Stone of dinosaurs.  A team of experts are excavating the 1000 kilogram dinosaur from the rock it's encased and it will go on display in 2021 Lynley Crosswell is the chief executive and director of Museums Victoria.

Museums Victoria’s senior curator of palaeontology, Dr Erich Fitzgerald, says the fossil, which is more than six metres long, is 87 per cent complete. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Fam and our Baykeeper Neil Blake talk about new legislation in South Australia that bans single use plastics, making SA the first state in Australia to do so. SA for the win! Also some news about growing evidence about the impact of single use face masks on our marine wildlife, and Neil will lead a tribute to Tony Flude, the wonderful secretary from Port Phillip Ecocentre and Westgate Park, who dedicated 20 years of his life to restoring Port Phillip wetlands and sadly passed away this week. We’ll catch up with James Rule from Museums Victoria and Monash University about a game-changing paper he’s just published in which he and his co-authors scientifically describe nine ancient seal fossils for the first time collected over 90-odd years by generations of scientists and citizens at Beaumaris. The implications are highly significant for what the world knows about seal evolution, and we can’t wait to catch up with James again to find out more.And in this month’s Cabin Boy Diaries, Brett tips his frayed sailor’s cap to windsurfers, covering the history of windsurfing, and where to do it now.

A Talking History Online panel discussion featuring Jim Hammerton (La Trobe University, Melbourne), Moya McFadzean (Museums Victoria), Jan Coolen (featured in the exhibition 'British Migrants: Instant Australians?', and Mandy Paul (Migration Museum). Between 1947 and 1981 nearly 1.5 million Britons migrated to Australia, seduced by promises of sun, surf and a better life. Most of the newcomers came on assisted passages, part of the Australian Government’s pursuit of a white, British, nation. This group of migrants were simultaneously everywhere and invisible, expected to become ‘instant Australians’. But the reality of migration is never that simple. The exhibition 'British Migrants: Instant Australians?', developed by Museums Victoria, and currently on display at the Migration Museum in Adelaide, explores the personal experiences and historical and contemporary impacts of British migrants in the postwar decades. The exhibition features stories told by children, teenagers and families, labourers, adventurers, returnees, musicians, and even a snake dancer – brought to life through compelling digital animation. This unique panel discussion unpacks these stories. This free public lecture is part of the History Trust's Talking History series.
