Matt Kaplan is a science correspondent at the Economist and author of the new book I Told You So!: Scientists Who Were Ridiculed, Exiled, and Imprisoned for Being Right in which he shares the stories of researchers—from Darwin to Pasteur to modern Nobel Prize winners—who had to fight for their revolutionary ideas to be accepted. "But Paul…” you might say. "This sounds very interesting, but how does it fit into the conversations here on Reasonably Happy?” Good question! It's because I like contrarians and truth-seekers. I worry about prevailing power structures or narratives that restrict innovation, progress, free markets, and personal liberty, whether those obstacles be bureaucracy, fascism, religion, or political correctness. And perhaps by pondering these historical examples, we'll be less likely to repeat past mistakes. Over the last two decades, Matt has written about everything from paleontology and parasites to virology and viticulture. In addition to the Economist, his writing has appeared in National Geographic,  Nature, and the New York Times.

En los años 60, el psicólogo Stanley Milgram puso a prueba la obediencia humana en un laboratorio. Invitó a participantes a administrar supuestas descargas eléctricas a otra persona cada vez que fallaba en una tarea. Aunque no eran reales los choques, muchos continuaron aplicando niveles cada vez más altos, solo porque una voz de autoridad les decía que siguieran. Este estudio demostró que personas comunes pueden acatar órdenes injustas incluso cuando creen que causan daño, cuestionando la idea de que solo “malos” cometen atrocidades.

Human progress may be beneficial to human society, but it is usually achieved at the cost of the lives of other species. Corinna Bellizzi explores how we interrupt the movement and migration of wild animals with Hillary Rosner, a science journalist, editor, and author. Together, they discuss how human-made fences and borders, the privatization of land, and the displacement of indigenous stewardship hinder countless animals from moving freely from one place to another, leading to their dwindling population. Hillary also explains what it takes to create large-scale solutions to solve this ecological problem, and why it all starts with shifting our consciousness to see the world from an animal's perspective.

Endurance adventurer Sean Conway has lived a life defined by adventure, resilience and a relentless desire to do hard things. Driven by curiosity and an appetite for pushing beyond what most consider possible, Sean has built a career out of testing the very edges of human endurance. He is the man who completed 105 full distance triathlons in 105 consecutive days, breaking the world record for the most consecutive full Iron distance triathlons. He became the first person to swim the length of Britain, a 900 mile journey from Land's End to John o' Groats.  He has cycled 4,000 miles self-supported across Europe from Portugal to Russia faster than anyone before him. He completed the world's longest triathlon, a continuous 4,200 mile ultra triathlon around the coast of Great Britain. He has cycled around the world, yes around the world, completed multiple marathon and ultra runs including 15 marathons in 15 national parks in 15 days. And that is only a tiny snapshot of an extraordinary endurance resume he has achieved since first delving into the wonderful world of endurance sport. Born in Zimbabwe and raised in South Africa on vast wildlife conservation parks, Sean didn't grow up sporty. His first dream was to travel the world as a National Geographic photographer. When that ambition didn't materialise, he pivoted, choosing endurance as his vehicle for exploration and purpose.  In doing so, he wrote himself into the record books on multiple occasions, becoming the first person to complete an Endurance Grand Slam; achieving a world's first, world's longest, world's fastest and world's most. Inspired by boundary breakers who redefined what endurance could look like, Sean has not only chased records himself, he now coaches, mentors and encourages others to test their own limits. A motivational speaker and author of multiple books, in this episode, we explore his philosophy of deliberately choosing difficult paths, what fuels his fear of living an ordinary life and how he continues to test what he's truly capable of. This is an incredible conversation on resilience, reinvention and building a life exploring the hard road, on purpose. An episode well worth tuning into. To find out more about Sean and his incredible achievements go to www.seanconway.com

En el siglo XIX, mientras Estados Unidos celebraba el progreso y la llegada de millones de inmigrantes, en el bajo Manhattan surgió Five Points, un barrio de pobreza extrema y tensiones étnicas que desafiaba esa promesa de prosperidad. Allí se formaron pandillas como los Dead Rabbits o los Bowery Boys, grupos rivales que luchaban por el control de calles abarrotadas y vecindades insalubres. Entre alcohol, violencia y corrupción policial, estas bandas transformaron la vida urbana en una lucha diaria por poder y supervivencia.

In this episode of the Tough Girl Podcast, I'm joined by Starre Vartan — science and environment writer, author, and lifelong question-asker whose work sits at the powerful intersection of the human body and the natural world. With a background in geology and biology, Starre began her career as an environmental geologist before pivoting into journalism to tell the stories behind the science. Over the past 15+ years, she's written for publications including National Geographic, Scientific American, The New York Times, The Washington Post, and New Scientist, becoming known for her ability to make science both rigorous and deeply human — especially when it comes to women's bodies. We dive into Starre's latest book, The Stronger Sex: What Science Tells Us About the Power of the Female Body, a myth-busting, research-driven celebration of women's endurance, longevity, adaptability, and strength. From the messages girls receive about their bodies at a young age, to puberty, bone density, menopause, and why women often excel in endurance sports, Starre unpacks the science that has been overlooked — and what it means for women's health, sport, and everyday life. We also talk about Starre's upbringing between Australia and the U.S., the influence of her formidable grandmother, growing up active and outdoors, and how reconnecting with strength training later in life has left her feeling more powerful than ever. This conversation is about listening to your body, trusting its wisdom, and reclaiming strength — physically, mentally, and scientifically. If you've ever been told women are the weaker sex, this episode will change how you think about the female body forever. ***  New episodes of the Tough Girl Podcast drop every Tuesday at 7 AM (UK time)! Make sure to subscribe so you never miss the inspiring journeys and incredible stories of tough women pushing boundaries.  Do you want to support the Tough Girl Mission to increase the amount of female role models in the media in the world of adventure and physical challenges? Support via Patreon!

Michael Schultz is a wildlife, aurora, and landscape photographer based in Alaska, where vast wilderness and glowing winter skies shape both his life and his work. Featured by National Geographic, Michael is widely recognised for his expertise in photographing the Northern Lights and capturing remote landscapes that feel raw, quiet, and deeply immersive.   Originally drawn to the outdoors rather than photography, Michael found the camera became a way to preserve emotional experiences rather than simply record locations. His work is rooted in honest storytelling, natural light, and a strong connection to place—focusing on how landscapes feel, not just how they look.   In this episode, Michael shares his journey from avid outdoorsman to full-time professional photographer and workshop leader. He discusses the challenges and rewards of long exposure photography, especially in extreme Arctic conditions, and how photographing aurora requires patience, presence, and technical precision.   Michael also reflects on leading small-group photography workshops through Alaska and beyond, helping photographers slow down, connect with nature, and create meaningful images rather than chasing trends. He explores the impact of social media and AI on photography, and why authentic experiences and real human connections remain central to his creative philosophy.   This conversation offers insight into photographing some of the most spectacular natural phenomena on Earth, while staying grounded in purpose, presence, and storytelling. I hope you enjoy the show!

Skeptics said synagogues didn't exist in Galilee during Jesus' lifetime. They were wrong. They said crucified victims were never buried. They were wrong. They said the Gospel writers invented details about first-century Palestine. Wrong again.Dr. Craig Evans, one of the world's leading scholars on the historical Jesus and New Testament archaeology, has spent decades connecting physical discoveries to the Gospel narratives. He's authored over 70 books, founded the Dead Sea Scrolls Institute, lectured at Cambridge, Oxford, and Yale, and appeared on BBC, the History Channel, Discovery Channel, and National Geographic. In this episode, he walks us through the discoveries that secular Israeli archaeologists rely on the Gospels as their primary sources, why skeptical theories collapse under the weight of evidence, and how the skeletal remains of a crucified man confirm that Jesus would have been buried exactly as the Gospels describe. This conversation will transform how you read the New Testament.In this episode, you will learn:Why Israeli archaeologists, even non-believing ones, use Matthew, Mark, Luke, John, and Acts as their most reliable sourcesThe discovery of first-century synagogues at Magdala and what they reveal about Jesus' ministryWhat the Theodotus Inscription proves about synagogues existing in Jerusalem before 70 ADHow the Pilate Stone and Caiaphas Ossuary confirm key figures from the Passion narrativesWhy the Gospel writers showed remarkable restraint and integrity in recording only what Jesus actually saidThe archaeological evidence that crucified victims in Jewish Palestine were in fact buriedHow the skeletal remains of Yehohanan, a crucified man with a nail still in his heel, validates Gospel burial accountsWhy Joseph of Arimathea's burial of Jesus is historically plausible and fits Jewish law perfectlyThe stunning continuity of village memory that preserved the location of Jesus' tomb for centuriesCheck out Dr. Craig Evans' work:Website: https://www.craigaevans.comJesus and His World: The Archaeological EvidenceFabricating Jesus: How Modern Scholars Distort the GospelsThe Bible Seminary: https://www.thebibleseminary.eduStay Connected with Johnny Ova and The Dig In Podcast: Subscribe and follow The Dig In Podcast on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@thejohnnyova Follow all things Johnny: https://linktr.ee/johnnyova Grab Johnny's book, The Revelation Reset: https://a.co/d/hiUkW8H

El castor, símbolo emblemático de Canadá, fue fundamental en la economía del país durante la época colonial debido a la caza intensiva por sus pieles, especialmente para fabricar sombreros de alta moda. Esta explotación casi llevó a la extinción del animal. Sin embargo, gracias a los esfuerzos de conservación, las poblaciones de castores se han recuperado. Hoy, el castor sigue siendo un ícono cultural y un ejemplo de resiliencia, jugando un rol vital en los ecosistemas al construir represas y modificar hábitats.

Some photos take a lifetime to get. Others almost melt your shoes! In Part 2 of this conversation with former National Geographic staff photographer Robert “Bob” Madden, we dive straight into the stories behind the photographs. From documenting an erupting volcano in Hawaii to capturing what may be one of the last images of the Kauai ʻōʻō bird, and photographing in the Amazon with the Yanomami, this episode spans decades of travel and storytelling in the field. We also hear about Bob's time working inside National Geographic as Director of Layout and Design and helping guide the magazine into the early digital era. This is an adventurous conclusion to a two-part conversation filled with great stories, close calls, and reflections on a lifetime behind the camera. Grab a coffee, settle in and the talk! *****

The documentary aired on a Tuesday night in October, and nothing was ever the same. Within hours it was trending worldwide. Scientists came forward. Former government employees reached out. And across the country, people started paying closer attention to the forests around them.This episode brings the first volume of Born Wild to a close — but not before we hear from some of the most compelling voices in the archives. Russell Crawford, a Tennessee hunter with over fifty years in the Cherokee National Forest, describes the morning he had a clear shot at something massive and chose not to take it. Not because he couldn't — but because pulling that trigger would have felt like murder.Margaret White spent thirty years teaching biology in rural Washington and debunking every Sasquatch story her students brought to class. Then she came face to face with one on a trail in Olympic National Park, and every rational explanation she ever had turned to dust.James Whitehorse carried his story for fifty-four years. He was eight years old, herding sheep near the Chuska Mountains on the Navajo reservation, when a towering figure stepped out of the junipers and raised its hand in greeting. His grandfather told him the white world would never understand. James kept quiet — until now. Maria Santos worked the graveyard shift at a gas station on the edge of the Gila Wilderness. One night at two in the morning, something eight feet tall walked up to the pumps and started examining them like a curious child discovering something new.Thomas Erikson came from four generations of Oregon loggers. They called them the Wood Apes, and every logger in the Pacific Northwest knew about them. Thomas shares three encounters spanning decades — including the day one of them spoke to him and pointed at the trees, at him, and at itself. Like it was saying they were all part of the same thing. Thomas passed away six months after this interview.We hear from Eddie McGraw, a long-haul trucker who watched a creature stroll across a Montana rest area at two in the morning like it owned the place. From David Baker, a National Geographic photographer who captured three frames of the clearest Sasquatch image ever taken — then locked them in a safe for fifteen years. From Patricia Morgan, a Yellowstone ranger who reveals a secret file of sightings passed down from ranger to ranger since the 1950s. And from Dr. Michael Brooks, a primatologist who spent fifteen years hiding evidence that would have validated everything. Then comes the revelation no one expected. Brian's own mother, Jean Patterson, finally shares a secret she kept for decades — she saw one of the creatures on the Lyerly property a full year before Brian ever did. She stayed silent to protect him. To give him the choice to walk away.He couldn't walk away. He never could. The episode closes on the eve of the final expedition. The witnesses gather at the mountain house. The sun sets over the Appalachians. And deep in the forest, the creatures begin to sing.Tomorrow, everything changes.This is the end of Book One. The odyssey continues.

Documentary filmmaker Marcie Hume (BBC alum; Magicians: Life in the Impossible) joins Michael Shermer to talk about her new verité film Corey Feldman vs. the World—shot over a decade, starting in the "Corey's Angels" era and following a tour that unravels in real time. It goes to some uncomfortable places: how celebrity can create cult-ish dynamics (not just with fans, but with the people working around them as well), how "truth" becomes a slogan—used to frame criticism as persecution and to keep tight control of the story, and how living on camera can turn real life into performance where every moment becomes part of the persona. Then the story folds back on itself—the release of Marcie's film becomes its own drama, with last-minute legal threats and a cease-and-desist landing right before the premiere. Marcie Hume is a documentary filmmaker, television executive, and immersive experience creator focused on how people manufacture meaning under pressure, while the story is still being written. A BBC alumna, she has originated and executive produced unscripted series for the BBC, Channel 4, Discovery, National Geographic, and A&E. Her feature documentaries Hood to Coast, Magicians: Life in the Impossible, and Corey Feldman vs. the World trace endurance, obsession, and the narratives people construct to live with extraordinary choices. Corey Feldman vs. the World is currently available to rent or buy on YouTube, Google, or Apple, even though Corey is still trying to have it removed. Watch the trailer Rent the film 

Entre 1819 y 1823, Francisco de Goya cubrió las paredes de su casa, la Quinta del Sordo, con una serie de obras inquietantes que hoy conocemos como las Pinturas negras. No fueron encargos ni buscaban agradar, eran un descenso a una mente marcada por la enfermedad, la sordera, la guerra y el desencanto. Brujas, duelos, dioses devoradores y miradas vacías reflejan un mundo sin consuelo y un artista que pinta para sí mismo, rompiendo cualquier tradición conocida hasta entonces.

Documentary about role-playing Putnam camp to screen at Howland Alex Simmons was deep in the jungles of the Amazon, shooting a documentary for National Geographic about black market gold mines, when his co-director, Carina Mia Wong, turned to him and asked, "What do you know about LARPing?" Simmons didn't know anything about LARPing, or Live Action Role Playing. But when Wong told him about a LARPing summer camp in the Hudson Valley called Wayfinder, in which adolescents and teens spend a week running around in the Putnam County woods, improvising elaborate fantasy tales and whacking each other with foam swords, he agreed they'd found the subject for their next film. "When you're a kid, everything gets delineated," Simmons said. "You're told that you can either be into sports or be a nerd. But when I was a kid, I liked sports and Dungeons & Dragons." After an epic campaign through the festival circuit resulting in a dragon's hoard worth of awards, including a special jury award at the 2024 SXSW Festival in honor of the film's "bravery and empathy," We Can Be Heroes comes to the Howland Cultural Center at 7 p.m. on Thursday (Feb. 26). After the screening, presented by the Beacon Film Society, Judson Packard, the Wayfinder camp director, will answer questions. "What matters is that the campers get to tell their own stories," Packard says in the film. "And for each one of them, they are the main character of that story." Packard found Wayfinder as a wayward and moody teenager 20 years ago. It is a place where neurodivergent, LGTBQ+ and/or teens who don't feel like they fit in can be themselves. As a camper in the film exclaims: "It's all just a bunch of nerds, straight up vibing." Wayfinder was happy to participate with the filmmakers. But logistics were more challenging. "You have 40 kids running through 500 acres of land," said Wong. "How do we film that?" The filmmakers spent a summer figuring out how to film at night in the woods, where to place cameras and when to do tick checks (constantly). They also looked for campers they could follow. "It was a gut feeling," said Wong. "Who has the potential for a transformation? Whose journey are we invested in? Where can things go in a week?" The documentary focuses on kids like Cloud, an 11-year-old, first-time camper from White Plains who puts in two hours of daily lightsaber practice. There's Dexter, a 15-year-old homeschooler from Manhattan who's written two-thirds of a fantasy trilogy but just wants to get his crush's phone number by the end of the week. And there's Abby, a 17-year-old, budding animator who is battling gastroparesis and spinal muscular atrophy and has been given a troubling long-term diagnosis. Nevertheless, arriving at camp, Abby tells the filmmakers, "I'm pumped as hell. … Am I allowed to curse?" The scene gets more deliriously chaotic when the campers begin the "adventure game," an improvised, multi-day storyline. Entitled "The Last Green," the scenario posits that the campers form six tribes of faeries facing a mysterious black void that is closing in around them. The story becomes a film within a film as the tribes figure out whether they can work together to save their world. What happens next is something completely unexpected. Before the game kicks off, some campers say they see the story as a metaphor for climate change. But there's another darkness that the kids have been fighting off: The film was shot in the summer of 2022, as the pandemic began to wane. For many campers, even though they're wearing full-body cardboard armor and giving themselves names like Shard Dorpington and Infernuis Nocturna, this is the most normal thing they've done in years. "During the filming, it hit us how impactful COVID has been on this generation," said Simmons. "They were telling us, 'I didn't get to have my senior prom,' or 'It was supposed to be the most important year of my life, and I missed it.' I still get emotional thinking about it." The Howland Cultural ...

En 1704, tras la ocupación británica del Peñón, este pastor propuso un plan audaz: guiar a un grupo de soldados españoles por un sendero secreto que solo él conocía. La ruta conducía a lo alto del Peñón, permitiendo un ataque sorpresa desde la cima. Aunque lograron posicionarse estratégicamente, la falta de apoyo del ejército principal frustró la operación. Susarte no solo ofreció un camino, ofreció una esperanza. Su historia, entre lo heroico y lo legendario, sigue viva como símbolo de resistencia y memoria en Andalucía.

Brett Kaufman is an archaeologist at the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign.His work lives at a rare intersection: field excavation + ancient languages + hard science. He studies the peoples, states, and empires of the Middle East and North Africa—from the Bronze Age to the present—combining archaeological evidence with historical texts and Semitic inscriptions to understand how power, identity, and institutions are built (and rebuilt).He's directed or supervised excavations across Tunisia, China, Italy, Israel, and New York, and his research has been supported by major institutions including NSF, National Geographic, China's NSFC, and the Getty. In the lab, he uses materials-science tools to reverse-engineer ancient technology—especially metals—so the past becomes something you can test, not just imagine.In this episode, we follow Kaufman's core obsession: the human experience under pressure.

After years of closed borders, North Korea reopened to a small number of foreign visitors.Johan Nylander entered as one of the first in years — to run the Pyongyang Marathon.Johan is an award-winning Asia correspondent and author whose work has appeared in CNN, National Geographic, Forbes, Nikkei Asia, and Sweden's leading business daily Dagens Industri. He has reported from the frontlines of the US–China trade war and written bestselling books including Shenzhen Superstars, The Epic Split, and The Wolf Economy Awakens. Colleagues have described him as “a guardian of free speech” and one of the most compelling storytellers covering Asia today.At 52, he chose one of the most restricted starting lines on Earth.The deeper story begins earlier. After years of high-stress reporting across Asia, Johan found himself physically depleted and mentally stretched thin. Watching the Hong Kong Marathon from the sidelines — barely able to run a kilometer — he made a decision. The following year, he ran his first marathon.Training became structure. Structure became momentum.Living between the mountains of Hong Kong's outer islands and one of the world's densest cities, he rebuilt himself mile by mile.Then came North Korea.Running through Pyongyang placed him inside a rare historical moment — moving through a country defined by control, discipline, and spectacle. The experience sharpened his understanding of movement, agency, and freedom.In this episode, we explore:Running the Pyongyang Marathon inside North KoreaBecoming one of the first foreign visitors back in the countryStarting endurance sport in his fiftiesRebuilding resilience after burnoutCovering geopolitics while cultivating personal freedomJohan has spent his career documenting global power.In North Korea, he stepped onto a different kind of frontline — one measured in miles.---

583. Ese fue el número de vidas que se cobró el peor accidente de la historia de la aviación civil, el 27 de marzo de 1977. Dos Boeing 747 colisionaron en plena pista del aeropuerto de Los Rodeos, Tenerife, todo a causa de una densa niebla, errores de comunicación y un cúmulo de decisiones precipitadas. A partir de aquel desastre, se impulsaron cambios clave en la aviación moderna. Se mejoraron los protocolos de comunicación, se instalaron radares terrestres y se desarrolló el Crew Resource Management, un sistema que transformó para siempre la forma en que operan las tripulaciones y vuelan los aviones.

National Geographic photographer Kiliii Yuyän returns to the Mongabay Newscast to share his experience creating his new book, Guardians of Life: Indigenous Knowledge, Indigenous Science, and Restoring the Planet from specialty publisher Braided River. This book documents the traditional ecological knowledge (TEK) of nine Indigenous communities worldwide, featuring contributions and essays from many members of these communities, along with Yüyan's own photography. TEK, Yüyan says, isn't exactly traditional so much as it is ecological knowledge that is place-based. While it draws on thousands of years of knowledge, it also innovates in society as we know it, and can offer social, cultural and ecological benefits that neoliberal economics does not. Yüyan highlights that some of the most significant environmental victories of the past few years, such as the removal of the Klamath River dams in the United States — the largest dam removal project ever — were led by Indigenous people. Yüyan's imagery captures the essence of the decades it took for Lisa Moorehead-Hillman, Leaf Hillman and others to advocate for their removal. "I think what the great power of the book is in a lot of ways is the power of photography … actually seeing it. That this is what it means when we're talking about what is shamanism, what does it mean when you remove a dam … and you see it in people's faces." Please take a minute to let us know what you think of our podcast, here. Mike DiGirolamo is the host & producer for the Mongabay Newscast based in Sydney. Find him on LinkedIn and Bluesky. Image Credit: Lisa Morehead-Hillman and Leif Hillman, both Karuk, celebrate the removal of the dams on the newly exposed reservoir floor in 2024. The former head of the Karuk Natural Resources Department, Leif spent two decades working with other Indigenous groups, environmental organizations and government officials to bring back the Klamath River.

Today's guest is National Geographic legend Jason Edwards—a photographer who doesn't just document the world… he translates it via powerful storytelling techniques, which we cover in excellent depth in the conservation.Jason talks about storytelling as a responsibility: becoming a portal for people who may never stand where you're standing. We dig into his deceptively simple “five frames” storytelling challenge, his ruthless “one thing per photo” rule, and a powerful litmus test: does your image land emotionally without a caption?We also get wonderfully practical—how he builds images in-camera (no object removal), how he culls his thousands of photos per trip, why “context shots” still matter even if everyone's taken them, and how to think like a pro without getting swallowed by social media.Top 10 takeawaysStorytelling = connection: you're sharing an experience for someone who may never get to be there.The 5-frame storytelling concept forces clarity—every frame must earn its place.A single image can be “the one” if it moves someone without needing a caption.Use an adjective test (cold, lonely, chaotic, tender) to strengthen emotional storytelling.Jason's core rule: you only get one thing in a photo—build everything around that anchor.Supporting elements are “actors,” not clutter: if it doesn't add, it subtracts.Don't copy the internet: avoid pre-researching other photographers' shots if you want your story.Practice “context shots” (the obvious wide/establishing frames) so your story has structure.His culling workflow is brutally efficient: 3 passes + color labels to find the true story set.Be a pro by acting like one: protect your credit, respect your work, and don't let social metrics define your worth.Court's Websites Check out Court's photo portfolio here: shop.courtwhelan.com Sign up for Court's photo, conservation and travel blog at www.courtwhelan.com Follow Court on YouTube (@courtwhelan) for more photography tips View Court's personal and recommended camera gear Sponsors and Promo Codes: ArtStorefronts.com - Mention this podcast for free photo website design.

En 1987, una noticia sacudió al mundo. Un empresario argentino aseguró que Adolf Hitler había muerto en Argentina a los 97 años. Según su versión, el dictador nazi escapó tras la guerra, vivió en el sur del continente junto a Eva Braun y dejó descendencia. El relato incluía fotos, restos y una supuesta tumba, y generó titulares globales antes de ser desacreditado. Aunque la historia oficial sostiene que Hitler se suicidó en su búnker en 1945, este anuncio reavivó teorías conspirativas y obligó a varios medios y organizaciones a investigar.  Y descubre más historias curiosas en el canal National Geographic y en Disney +.   Learn more about your ad choices.

En 1859, el gran novelista ruso abrió en su finca de Yásnaia Poliana una escuela para los hijos de campesinos donde rompió con la educación formal de su tiempo. Allí no existían órdenes rígidas, premios ni castigos; los niños aprendían de forma voluntaria, podían moverse libremente y sus intereses guiaban la enseñanza. Tolstói creía que la educación debía respetar la libertad y dignidad de cada alumno y surgir de su curiosidad natural, no de la coerción. Su experimento pedagógico se considera un antecedente temprano de la educación democrática libre.

Raidījumu esam veltījuši Baltijas jūrai un vairākiem interesantiem pētījumiem, kas atklāj jaunus faktus par mūsu jūru. Latvijas Hidroekoloģijas institūta biologi veikuši pētījumus gan par atjaunojošajām akvakultūrām Baltijas jūrā un to, kā aļģes un gliemenes varētu palīdzēt uzlabot ūdens kvalitāti, gan par to, kā ziemas ļauj prognozēt cianobaktēriju jeb zilaļģu ziedēšanu vasarā. Iepazīstam dažādos pētījumus! Raidījumā Zināmais nezināmajā stāsta Latvijas Hidroekoloģijas institūta pētniece Maija Viška, Latvijas Hidroekoloģijas institūta vadošā pētniece Anda Ikauniece un Latvijas Hidroekoloģijas institūta vadošā pētniece Ineta Liepiņa-Leimane.   Kas liek ledum būt slidenam un kā to sacensībās padara vēl slidenāku? Slidu, kamaniņu un hokeja nūju skaņas pašlaik XXV ziemas olimpisko spēļu laikā Milānā un Kortīnā dzirdamas daudz. Olimpiskā ledus saķere un slīdamība ir vesela fizikas un ķīmijas principu buķete, un tieši olimpiādes laikā šis temats, piemēram, ātrslidošanas kontekstā, plašāk pētīts rakstā tiešsaistes žurnālā “National Geographic”. Ledus slīdamības principi labi zināmi ir Mārtiņam Rubenim, Rīgas Tehniskās universitātes Sporta tehnoloģiju centra vadītājam, kā arī Latvijas izlases trenerim, inženierim-mehāniķim kamaniņu sporta izlasei olimpiskajās spēlēs Kortīnā. Mārtiņš arī bijis pirmais sportists neatkarīgās Latvijas sporta vēsturē, kurš izcīnījis medaļu ziemas olimpiskajās spēlēs, un tā bija bronzas medaļa 2006. gadā Turīnā, Itālijā. Ar Mārtiņu tiekamies attālināti, jo viņš atrodas Kortīnā. Ar viņu runājam par svarīgākajiem principiem, lai ledus labi slīdētu. Vai tā tas ir bijis Kortīnā?

Some assignments take you around the world on small roads. Others land you on a highway with your plane. In Part 1 of this two-part conversation, former National Geographic Staff photographer Robert “Bob” Madden takes us back to his beginnings, the golden era of the magazine and into the stories behind two remarkable images — including his famous Guatemala earthquake bush-plane crash photograph, later selected as one of National Geographic's 50 most iconic pictures, and the return of the Apollo 11 astronauts. We talk about how Bob got his start in the late 1960s, what it was like working during that era of travel and exploration, and why the real story of a photograph often begins long before the shutter clicks. That's just the first stop on this Planes, Trains & National Geographic road trip. Next week we're back with more stories and some amazing images from the field — and trust us, you'll want to be on board for Part 2! Enjoy it. *****

Cada 14 de febrero, millones de personas celebran el Día de San Valentín, una fiesta del amor que hunde sus raíces en una mezcla de historia, leyenda y tradición. Su origen más aceptado nos lleva a la Roma del siglo III, donde, según cuenta la tradición, un sacerdote llamado Valentín desafió al emperador Claudio II al casar en secreto a jóvenes enamorados pese a la prohibición imperial; por esto fue arrestado y ejecutado un 14 de febrero, convirtiéndose con el tiempo en símbolo del amor y la devoción.

In 2016 Tara Roberts was living in Washington DC feeling, in a new way, the deep fractures in America, including the way we understand our history.  She felt called to be part of trying to heal these divisions.   It was a chance encounter with a photograph at the National Museum of African American History and Culture that changed the trajectory of her life.  It was of a group of Black women on a boat in diving gear who she quickly discovered  were from an organization called Diving with a Purpose, an underwater archeology group with a mission to discover and document the wreckage of slave ships scattered on the ocean floor around the world, and by doing so recover a crucial part of history. Roberts soon quit her job and joined the group to document their work, learning to scuba dive in order to do so. She turned that journey into an award-winning National Geographic-produced podcast called “Into the Depths” and became the first Black female explorer ever to be featured on the cover of National Geographic Magazine.  This work also resulted in a memoir Written in the Waters which both invites us into the fascinating and groundbreaking work below the surface of the Ocean around the globe, and her own personal transformation. Roberts has travelled the world as a diver, backpacker, and adventurer,  bringing to this conversation a global view of history and culture, and a devotion to tell the stories that can bring us together.  She is currently Explorer-in-Residence at the National Geographic Society. Here's Tara Roberts in conversation with Shayna Schlosberg from the 2025 Portland Book Festival, on Literary Arts, the Archive Project. Tara Roberts spent the last six years following, diving with, and telling stories about Black scuba divers as they searched for and helped document slave shipwrecks around the world. Her journey was turned into an award-winning National Geographic-produced podcast called “Into the Depths” and featured in the March issue of National Geographic magazine. Tara became the first Black female explorer ever to be featured on the cover of Nat Geo. In 2022, Tara was named the Rolex National Geographic Explorer of the Year. Currently, she is an Explorer-in-Residence at the National Geographic Society. And her book Written in the Waters: A Memoir of History, Home and Belonging hits stands in January 2025. Tara also worked as an editor for magazines like CosmoGirl, Essence, EBONY and Heart & Soul and edited several books for girls. She was a Fellow at the MIT Open Documentary Lab. She founded her own magazine for women who are ‘too bold for boundaries..’ And Tara spent an amazing year backpacking around the world to find and tell stories about young women change agents. The journey led to the creation of a nonprofit that supported and funded their big ideas.
