Podcasts about nature news

Week 16 of Nature News is a packed one as Ryan & Nadia unpack stories from plants being able to detect the buzzing of bees to produce more pollen, to terrible news from South Africa regarding recent poaching of vultures PLUS a laughable story from TimeOut London warning us all of a terrifying increase of...*checks notes* adders.

Did you know that newly hatched echidnas are called puggles. They are extremely tiny, about the size of a 5 cent coin. 

If you're in the UK, it's not secret that spring has sprung with some unusually hot & dry weather. Whilst we often blame this on the climate crisis, do we actually know what's causing it? Well, luckily Nadia wondered this & found the news explaining it. Ryan then shares some news about river blockages throughout Europe & how their numbers are, every so slightly, dwindling.

Wir sprechen mit Noah Hollman von Prior Labs, einem der Schöpfer von TabPFN (Tabular Prior Fitted Network), über dieses bahnbrechende Foundation-Modell für tabulare Daten. In der Diskussion geht es um die Funktionsweise von TabPFN, die Rolle von In-Context Learning, die Herausforderungen bei der Anwendung der Transformer-Architektur auf tabulare Daten sowie die Generierung synthetischer Daten mit strukturellen kausalen Modellen (SCMs). Darüber hinaus beleuchten wir die beeindruckenden Benchmarking-Ergebnisse und zusätzliche Features des Modells. Zum Ende hin sprechen wir über die offenen Herausforderungen von Prior Labs und welche "Moonshots" sie für die Zukunft planen.   **Zusammenfassung:** TabPFN ist ein Modell für Vorhersagen auf tabellarischen Daten, entwickelt von Prior Labs Es nutzt In-Context Learning, um Aufgaben durch Sequenzen von Daten zu lernen, und wurde speziell für die Transformer-Architektur angepasst TabPFN wurde mit 100 Millionen synthetischen Datensätzen, die durch strukturelle kausale Modelle (SCMs) generiert wurden, trainiert Es stellt einen neuen Benchmark dar und liefert starke Leistungen über verschiedene Domänen hinweg Das Modell kann Unsicherheiten quantifizieren, mit fehlenden Werten umgehen und Outlier erkennen TabPFN ist auf Consumer-Hardware trainierbar, was die Entwicklung auch auf kleinen GPUs ermöglicht Zukünftige Entwicklungen fokussieren sich auf Zeitreihen, Kausalität und multimodale Modelle   **Links:** Blog: TabPFN: Die KI-Revolution für tabulare Daten https://www.inwt-statistics.de/blog/tabpfn-die-ki-revolution-fuer-tabulare-daten Nature Publikation zu tabPFN aus 2025: https://www.nature.com/articles/s41586-024-08328-6 Artikel über tabPFN  in Fortune: https://fortune.com/2025/02/05/prior-labs-9-million-euro-preseed-funding-tabular-data-ai/ Nature News & views von Duncan C.

Look, we all want to head towards green energy.....right? But are we too quick to say yes before we've looked at the impact of producing it? Nadia unpacks a story about a huge wind farm that could likely be devastating for seabirds. Ryan then takes us over to Nepal to share some shocking facts about air pollution & a recent survey of snow leopards.

Sometimes we think it's just the people in our naturey bubble that want political action to tackle the climate crisis BUT Nadia runs down a story telling us how researchers have learned that the global population more than favour the side for change. Then it's White faced darters that are in the news when Ryan shares how a new potential hot spot for the rare species could be their new home up north in the UK.

Conflicts with wildlife isn't something Into The Wild shy's away from on the show & on Nature News this week, Ryan shares a new innovative way to create an early warning system for the people of Valparai in India. Nadia then jumps in to share some news, of course after sharing some recent wildlife click bait, on the proposal to complete ban the burning of deep peat on any land in the UK!

This week Ryan finds himself questioning whether he's being pest-imistic that a 10% reduction in harmful pesticides on UK farms isn't enough.....surely we can be doing better? After sharing some random news about a huge block of ice hanging around outside South Georgia, Nadia tells us all about the new plans for 20 millions trees being planted in the south of England!

If it's one word you hear us mention a lot it's "community" & on this week's Nature News, Nadia once again shows the power it can have. A community in Sussex, UK, that have worked together & managed to get council agreed rights to the River Ouse. Ryan then tackles a tricky story of Polar Bear hunting & trade in Canada & a recent article calling out WWF for facilitating in both of these but......is it that simple?

This is the 2nd part of my interview with Eugenie Reich, who is a lawyer who defends scientific whistleblowers, and a former investigative science journalist. We talk about her transition from journalism to law, and discuss the legal aspects of scientific fraud: why fraudsters rarely go to prison, what whistleblowers are legally allowed to do, how and when to seek legal advice, and much more. Obviously, none of this is legal advice, but hopefully it provides some useful pointers.BJKS Podcast is a podcast about neuroscience, psychology, and anything vaguely related, hosted by Benjamin James Kuper-Smith.Support the show: https://geni.us/bjks-patreonTimestamps0:00:00: How Eugenie went from science journalist to being a lawyer and defending whistleblowers0:13:15: Why do most people who commit scientific fraud not go to prison?0:32:36: What are whistleblowers allowed to do?0:48:24: What if I get sued for reporting scientific misconduct?0:56:32: How do fraudsters try to intimidate whistleblowers?1:01:24: What if I can't afford legal help?1:06:18: Eugenie's plans for the futurePodcast linksWebsite: https://geni.us/bjks-podTwitter: https://geni.us/bjks-pod-twtEugenie's linksWebsite: https://geni.us/reich-webTwitter: https://geni.us/reich-twtBen's linksWebsite: https://geni.us/bjks-webGoogle Scholar: https://geni.us/bjks-scholarTwitter: https://geni.us/bjks-twtReferences and linksWoo-Suk Hwang affair: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hwang_affairTheranos: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/TheranosCassava: https://www.science.org/content/article/company-misled-investors-possible-alzheimer-s-drug-sec-chargesEric Poehlman: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eric_PoehlmanLuk van Parijs: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Luk_Van_ParijsThe Scientific Integrity Fund: https://scientificintegrityfund.org/Reich (2009).

Shawn from Creepy Acres is back to help us explore our first 'Real' Crytpid of the season! The great thing about cryptids is some of them turn out to be real animals that have been thought extinct or misidentified and this episode's subject is just that. This week Shawn is going to help us figure out just why it took so long for Silverback Gorillas to go from fiction to fact! We also want to bring attention to The Diane Fosse Gorilla Fund this week to celebrate the life and work of Dr. Diane Fosse and to help raise awareness for the ongoing efforts to keep these great apes from extinction.

“Science is political”. How could it not be? It's done by humans, whose political biases will influence not just the topics they choose to study but also how they study them. But does that mean it's fine for scientists to blatantly bring their politics into their work? Does that mean it's okay for scientific journals to endorse political candidates?In this slightly unusual episode of The Studies Show (which doesn't include very many actual studies), Tom and Stuart discuss the never-ending debate over where politics begins and ends in science, debate whether it's possible for science to be politics-free, and cover the recent story of the scientific journal editor fired for expressing a (pretty mild, all things considered) political opinion on Twitter.The Studies Show is brought to you by the i, the non-partisan UK daily newspaper for readers with open minds.

In this 194th in a series of live discussions with Bret Weinstein and Heather Heying (both PhDs in Biology), we discuss the state of the world through an evolutionary lens. In this episode we discuss the 2023 Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine, which was awarded for nucleoside base modifications that enabled the development of mRNA vaccines against COVID-19. We discuss the innovation for which the prize was awarded, what some of the known effects are, and what has been claimed about the (lack of) effects. We review some Nature news articles, including the finding that mRNA vaccines are linked to unexpected menstrual events. And we compare the costs and benefits of eating fish, supplementing with fish oil, and pharmaceutical drugging with Vascepa, and discuss connections between the three. ***** Our sponsors: Seed: Start a new healthy habit today with Seed probiotics.

In any given school, you're never more than 6ft away from a poster about “growth mindset”. It's the massively-popular idea that if you believe that people can change, you'll put more effort into a task (like studying) and end up doing better at it. On the other hand, if you have a “fixed mindset” and think talent is innate and unchangeable, you won't put in the effort and you'll fail to reach your potential.In this episode, Tom and Stuart talk about how the claims about the power of growth mindset have changed over the years, and explain the convoluted back-and-forth story of recent studies and reviews of the evidence. Do growth mindset interventions help kids get better grades? Is growth mindset even a thing?

In this episode:00:47 The brain-computer interfaces that help restore communicationPeople with certain neurological conditions can lose the ability to speak as a result of facial paralysis. This week, two teams demonstrate the potential of devices called brain-computer interfaces to help people in these situations communicate. These interfaces work by identifying the brain activity associated with the intent to say words, and converting this activity into speech-related outputs, such as text or audio. Both devices show marked improvements compared with previous interfaces, and show that the technology could represent a way to help restore communication to people with severe paralysis.Research article: Metzger et al.Research article: Willett et al.News and Views: Brain implants that enable speech pass performance milestones11:46 Research HighlightsHow wind-tunnel experiments could help athletes run the fastest marathon ever, and an analysis that could help explain why birds are the colours they are.Research Highlight: Physicists find a way to set a new marathon recordResearch Highlight: Which birds are drab and which dazzle? Predators have a say14:06 How much heat can tropical leaves take?As the climate warms, tropical forests around the world are facing increasing temperatures. But it's unknown how much the trees can endure before their leaves start to die. A team has combined multiple data sources to try and answer this question, and suggest that a warming of 3.9 °C would lead to many leaves reaching a tipping point at which photosynthesis breaks down. This scenario would likely cause significant damage to these ecosystems' role in vital carbon storage and as homes to significant biodiversity.Research article: Doughty et al.21:01 Briefing ChatThis time, a reexamination of Ötzi the iceman's DNA suggests he had a different appearance, and the failure of a Russian mission to the moon.Nature News: Ötzi the Iceman has a new look: balding and dark-skinnedNature News: Russian Moon lander crash — what happened, and what's next?Subscribe to Nature Briefing, an unmissable daily round-up of science news, opinion and analysis free in your inbox every weekday.

If you were anywhere near social media at the start of August, you'll have seen endless claims of a massive, world-changing breakthrough in physics: the LK-99 room-temperature superconductor.In this episode, Tom and Stuart—neither of them anything approaching a physicist, so caveat emptor—discuss what a superconductor is, why it would be exciting (or not) for it to work at room temperature, and ask why people online got so excited over claims that one had been discovered… when it actually hadn't.

Welcome to episode 42! We hope you're ready for the weekend and for spending a little time with your favorite history (and weed!) loving sisters. In this episode, Laurel kicks things off with a story about a Black woman named Henrietta Lacks, who passed away nearly 72 years ago from an unbelievably aggressive form of cervical cancer. Her legacy runs deep and wide, however, as her cells--the same ones that took her life--help science and medicine in life-saving and astonishing ways to this day. Unfortunately, as much as we have all been impacted by her legacy, there has been a decades long injustice that still continues to this day. Next, KT gives a nod to the late Queen Elizabeth II with a story of the lineage and centuries long history of the British Royal Family. Her story also loosely connects with her other story "How the Kingdom of England Began" from episode 34. *~*~*~*~*~ The Socials!
