Welcome to "Weird Species," an original podcast by the Senckenberg Society for Nature Research. Join Prof. Dr. Julia Sigwart as she guides you through the fascinating world of the species on our planet. Whether you prefer them super cute or pretty icky, whether you can find them in your neighborhood or on a remote island, we've got you covered. Each episode features conversations with scientists from various fields, where Julia quizzes them on their favorite species.

In full bloom – a conversation between Angela Jerardi and Giulia Bellinetti in the gardens of Jan van Eyck Academy  What does it mean to make a garden a site for ecological practice, pedagogy and labor within the context of an art institution? What experiences, aesthetics and frictions emerge through gardening?  This episode takes us to the gardens of the artist residency of the Jan van Eyck Academy in Maastricht, where our guest, teacher, researcher, and writer Angela Jerardi is invited to be in conversation with the head of the Nature Research department and coordinator of Future Materials of the Jan van Eyck Academy, and PhD researcher at ASCA, Giulia Bellinetti.  In a courtyard where branches overgrow steel structures, and ivy foliage softens their voices, and dampens their footsteps, Angela and Giulia speak on how they have moved their teaching, research and writing into gardens and land practices. Walking between pumpkins, bamboo, and compost, they reflect on the questions, labor and hardships that have maintained their care work. How is seasonal time or lived time affected by the demands of institutional time? How can we attune ourselves to the pace and divergence of lived time of species? Speaking on strategies that art institutions employ to bring forth topics of ecology, land and climate, they reflect on how concepts and verbs can become increasingly metaphorical and rhetorical in art discourses. Walking in fall leading into winter, they move towards the edges of the garden where transformative questions have taken root, for you to anticipate their full bloom.  This episode is in two parts.  In the first part, departing from the soil, Angela and Giulia unpack how a garden affects and takes shape in each of their practices, and what this means in the context of an art institution.  After the break, their conversation leads them into the glass house of the garden where their conversation spans strategies that artists, communities and art institutions employ, and the relationships that emerge through them.  Part One (00:00 – 37:10) and Part Two (37:55 – 1:31:00).  Take a breath and tune into the warm autumn breeze and whispering leaves on their walk in these gardens. 

This Future Materials Encounter hosted a talk on fungal mycelium uses in art, design, and architecture, led by Maurizio Montalti, founder of the Amsterdam-based innovation studio Officina Corpuscoli. Encouraging participants to critically reflect upon material economies within artistic and design practices, Maurizio shared his expertise on the development of new fully circular, biologically based, and environmentally friendly materials he has developed and brought successfully to market, and expanded on symbiotic notions of nature, culture, morphology, and material agency. Mycelium defines the networked structures of fungi providing symbiotic relationships to plant species through root networks both on large and microscopic scales. When isolated under the correct environmental conditions, mycelium begins to grow, forming natural polymers that bond to a waste, or feed material. Once fused and set, it can become a durable, fire resistant, biodegradable material, adaptable to several applications. The material can proliferate by feeding on decayed organic matter, and current residual waste streams can provide this base material for its growth. Therefore, mycelium can actively participate in circular material economies. Greater still, it epitomises regenerative material processes that can positively encourage inter-species collaboration, leading to more balanced material ecosystems. Maurizio Montalti is a designer, researcher, educator, and entrepreneur. He is Founder and Creative Director of Amsterdam-based practice Officina Corpuscoli. The studio's projects mostly stem from critical explorations in regard to contemporary material culture as well as on a continued attempt to decipher the way in which human and non-human come together within the relational complexity of the dynamic ecosystem we all belong to. The Future Materials Bank is an archive of materials that supports and promotes the transition towards ecologically conscious art and design practices. It is part of Future Materials, an initiative of the Nature Research department at the Jan van Eyck Academie.

Adam Hart investigates the largest terrestrial member of the weasel family – the wolverine. They're far more than just a superhero played by Hugh Jackman! With a reputation for gluttony and ferocity, these solitary killers use snowstorms to hunt much larger prey. Found in the snowy tundra and boreal forests of the Northern Hemisphere, their future looks uncertain – they've come into conflict with Scandinavian farmers by hunting their reindeer and are threatened by climate change in North America and Mongolia. But have we misunderstood wolverines? And can we learn to co-exist with them? Contributors: Rebecca Watters is founder and director of the Mongolian Wolverine Project, as well as the executive director of the Wolverine Foundation, a non-profit that's dedicated to advancing science-based conservation of wolverines. Jenny Mattisson is a researcher at the Norwegian Institute for Nature Research, who is involved in the monitoring of wolverines in Scandinavia. She has studied interactions between wolverines and Eurasian lynx, as well as their predation of reindeer.

In this episode we have a debate between Kate Raworth, Bob Costanza and Eric Gòmez-Baggethun on Monetary Valuation of Nature: pragmatic conservation or unhelpful commodification?This is an edited version of a debate that took place at the Oxford Martin School in February 2023. You can find the fill video of it here:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Hl7wSuAuKyQ&ab_channel=OxfordBiodiversityNetwork    Notes:The valuation of nature and ecosystem services in monetary units plays a central role in many forms of environmental governance, including in carbon and biodiversity markets and offsetting schemes which are increasingly under scrutiny. The idea of using monetary units to value nature has precipitated significant debate, with proponents contending that it represents a pragmatic and realist approach to accounting for the environment in decision-making processes, unlocking substantial funding for conservation, while others argue that it can lead to a commodification of nature that ultimately proves inequitable and ineffective in addressing environmental challenges. In the spirit of developing a constructive dialogue on the issue, Kate Raworth will moderate a discussion between two ecological economists, Robert Costanza and Erik Gomez-Baggethun, who will explore the debates and tensions associated with using monetary units to value nature and ecosystem services and role such valuations play in contemporary environmental governance.Kate RaworthKate is an economist focused on making economics fit for the 21st century. Her best-selling book Doughnut Economics: seven ways to think like a 21st century economist has been translated into 20 languages. She is co-founder of Doughnut Economics Action Lab, working with cities, business, communities, governments and educators to turn Doughnut Economics from a radical idea into transformative action. She teaches at Oxford University's Environmental Change Institute and is Professor of Practice at Amsterdam University of Applied Sciences.Robert CostanzaRobert (PhD, FASSA, FRSA) is a professor of Ecological Economics at the Institute for Global Prosperity, University College London and an Adjunct Professor at the College of Business and Economics, University of Tasmania. He is also a Senior Fellow at the Stockholm Resilience Centre, an Honorary Professor at the Australian National University, an Affiliate Fellow at the Gund Institute at the University of Vermont, and a deTao Master of Ecological Economics at the deTao Masters Academy in Shanghai, an Overseas Expert in the Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS) and an Ambassador of the Wellbeing Economy Alliance (WEAll). He is co-founder and past-president of the International Society for Ecological Economics, and founding editor of Ecological Economics. He is founding editor-in-chief of Solutions and editor in chief of The Anthropocene Review. Professor Costanza's transdisciplinary research integrates the study of humans and the rest of nature to address research, policy and management issues at multiple time and space scales, from small watersheds to the global system.His areas of expertise include: ecological economics, ecosystem services, landscape ecology, integrated ecological and socioeconomic modelling, energy and material flow analysis, environmental policy, social traps and addictions, incentive structures and institutions. He is the author or co-author of over 600 scientific papers and 30 books.Erik Gomez-BaggethunErik is a Professor of Environmental Governance at the Norwegian University of Life Sciences, a Senior Visiting Researcher at the University of Oxford, and a senior scientific advisor at the Norwegian Institute for Nature Research. He has taught courses and modules in ecological economics at the University of Oxford, the University of Cambridge and other universities in Europe and Latin America. His research covers diverse topics in ecological econ

The UN Convention on Biological Diversity summit, currently taking place in Montreal Canada, intends to develop ways of reducing the global loss of biological diversity by drawing up a series of international commitments to help humanity to live more harmoniously with nature. The scientific evidence paints a grim picture of species decline and extinction, pollution and destruction of natural habitats. The aim of the meeting is to find ways to stop and even reverse such decline. We meet leading figures involved in the negotiations, including: Elizabeth Mrema, the Executive Secretary of the UN Convention on Biological Diversity Inger Andersen Executive Director of UN Environment Programme Indigenous leaders Viviana Figueroa and Lakpa Nuri Sherpa And scientists Professor Sandra Diaz from the University of Cordoba Dr Marla Emery Scientific Advisor with the Norwegian Institute for Nature Research. BBC Inside Science is produced in partnership with the Open University.

To take us on a journey through coexistence and the evolving philosophy of conservation, in this episode we're sitting down with John Linnell, PhD, Senior Researcher Scientist and Professor at the Norwegian Institute for Nature Research. John and I have one of the most philosophical conversations I've had yet on the show. We explore large carnivores' history across the European continent using the lynx as a model species, what the term coexistence means to him, where the Rewilding Europe initiative fits into carnivore restoration, and what conservation actually means in 2022.

Synopsis: Every first and third Monday of the month, The Straits Times analyses the beat of the changing environment, from biodiversity conservation to climate change. A recent report shows mankind is far more dependent on nature than many believe. For example, humanity uses about 50,000 wild, non-farmed, species for food, medicines, wood and fuel and even tourism. This includes more than 10,000 wild species harvested directly for human food.  The report from the United Nations' science advisory panel for biodiversity, known as IPBES, which was released in early July, found that 70 per cent of the world's poor are directly dependent on wild species. And one in five people rely on wild plants, algae and fungi for their food and income. And yet over-exploitation, including the illegal trade of animals and plants, is endangering nature and threatening the lives of billions of people.  In this episode, The Straits Times' environment correspondent Audrey Tan and climate change editor David Fogarty discuss the importance of wild species with report co-chair Dr Marla Emery, a research geographer with the Norwegian Institute for Nature Research. Highlights (click/tap above): 1:53 Why are wild plants and animals important to humans?  4:54 What are some threats that wild species face?  9:29 How are the various threats to nature interacting with one another?  10:42 How can species be used sustainably?  16:17 What are steps that mankind can take to ensure sustainable use of species?

The Friday Newsletter |  Daily Gardener Community   Historical Events 1717 Birth of Catharina Helena Dörrien ("Durr-ee-in"), German botanist, writer, and artist. After the death of her parents, Catharina became a governess for the Erath ("AIR-rit") family in Dillenburg. Sophie Erath was a childhood friend of Catharina's, and Anton Erath was an attorney; they became Catharina's second family. While teaching the Erath children, Catharina turned to nature to teach almost every subject. Catharina even wrote her own textbooks, heavily focused on botany and the natural world. As the Erath children grew, Catharina focused on her botanical work. Anton helped her gain membership to the Botanical Society of Florence - something unheard of for women of her time. Catharina would go on to be a member of the Berlin Society of Friends of Nature Research and the Regensburg Botanical Society in Germany. When Catharina was alive, Dillenburg was part of the Orange-Nassau principality. And Catharine's 496-page flora called Flora for Orange-Nassau was published in 1777. Catharina not only used the Linnaean system to organize and name each specimen, but she also named two new fungi ("funj-eye") - two little lichens - she named major Doerrieni ("Durr-ee-en-ee") and minor Doerrieni- an extraordinary accomplishment for a woman during the 1700s. As for her botanical illustrations, Catharina created over 1,400 illustrations of local flora and fauna. Yet, these masterpieces never made it into her flora. Instead, Catharina's botanical art became an heirloom passed down through the generations of the Erath family. In 1875 a few pieces of Catharina's work were shown at an exhibition. However, fifteen years later, a large collection of paintings by Johann Philipp Sandberger was bought by the Museum of Wiesbaden. Johann was a dear friend of Anton Erath's, and today, his work is considered to be copies of Catharine's original watercolor masterpieces. Still, Sandberger's pieces are precious because they give us a glimpse of Catharine's breadth and depth of talent. Without Sandberger, all would be lost because the bulk of Catharine's work has been lost to time. The curator Friedrich von Heinbeck once said that the precision of Catharine's brush strokes was like that of an embroiderer who stitched with only the finest of thread.   1848 Birth of Augustus Saint Gaudens ("gaw-dens") (books about this person), American sculptor of the Beaux-Arts generation. He is remembered for his stunning Civil War monuments, including a work called Abraham Lincoln: The Man.  In Augustus Saint Gaudens, biography, Reminiscences, he wrote, What garlic is to salad, insanity is to art. The Frick museum has a medallion carved by Augustus. He was a fan of Robert Louis Stephenson, and the two met toward the end of Stephenson's life. The medallion has an inscription: Stevenson's poem Underwoods (1887), which reads: Youth now flees on feathered foot Faint and fainter sounds the flute  … Where hath fleeting beauty led?  To the doorway of the dead  Life is over, life was gay We have come the primrose way.   1877 Birth of Lenore Elizabeth Mulets, children's author, poet, and teacher  Born Nora Mulertz in Kansas, Lenore's mother died when she was ten, and so she was raised by her uncle. In addition to teaching, Lenore was a marvelous children's author. Her books were always charming, and her titles include Stories of Birds, Flower Stories, Insect Stories, and Tree Stories, just to name a few. In the preface to Flower Stories, Lenore wrote, When the flowers of the field and garden  lift their bright faces to you,  can you call them by name  and greet them as old acquaintances?  Or, having passed them a hundred times,  are they still strangers to you? And in her book Stories of Birds, Lenore wrote: Such a twittering and fluttering there was when this news came.   Grow That Garden Library™ Book Recommendation Stylish Succulent Designs by Jessica Cain  This book came out in 2019, and the subtitle is & Other Botanical Crafts.

Readers wrote in to request the name of the author since Katharine had signed off with only her initials, KSW. Katherine was married to EB White - the author of Charlotte's Web and Stuart Little.  But the garden writer Elizabeth Lawrence (books about this person) figured out that KSW was Katherine, and she sent her a letter a month later. The two women would exchange correspondence about gardening for the rest of their lives. Here's an excerpt from Elizabeth's letter: I asked Mrs. Lamm if you were Mrs. E. B. White, and she said you were. So please tell Mr. E. B. that he has three generations of devoted readers in this family... Have you the charming Barnhaven catalogs? (Gresham, Oregon).  You should, even if you don't want rare primroses. And do you know Harry E. Saier? Dimondale, Michigan. I subscribe to his Garden Magazine too. Used to be free, now a dollar a year ...comes four times a year, if it comes.   Thanks for listening to The Daily Gardener And remember: For a happy, healthy life, garden every day.

Large terrestrial carnivores, like wolves, bears and lynx, are the poster children for conservation and rewilding efforts. Also, they are usually right in the epicentre of the human-wildlife conflict which always sparks emotions. That makes it easy to use them to politicize conservation.In many previous podcasts, our discussions about rewilding inevitably led us to talk about the issues surrounding large carnivores. But this episode is solely dedicated to our coexistence with these predators. And that's because today's guest is Dr John Linnell, who conducts interdisciplinary research on the interactions between humans and wildlife to mitigate conflict.John works as a senior scientist at the Department of Terrestrial Ecology at the Norwegian Institute for Nature Research and as a professor at the Department of Forestry and Wildlife Management at the Inland Norway University of Applied Science.Support the Podcast and Buy Me a Coffee: buymeacoffee.com/tommysoutdoorsRecommended Books: tommysoutdoors.com/the-best-nature-books/T-shirts: tommysoutdoors.com/tommys-outdoors-t-shirts/Follow Tommy's Outdoors onTwitter: twitter.com/outdoorspodcastInstagram: instagram.com/tommysoutdoorsFacebook: facebook.com/tommysoutdoorsTikTok: tiktok.com/@tommysoutdoorsYouTube: youtube.com/tommysoutdoors See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

HIFT representa un método apropiado para mejorar el rendimiento cognitivo, específicamente la memoria de trabajo. Autor Jan Wilke Department of Sports Medicine, Goethe University Frankfurt am Main, Ginnheimer Landstraße 39, 60487, Frankfurt am Main, Germany. wilke@sport.uni-frankfurt.de. Enlace al Articulo Original en Ingles Los ejercicios aeróbicos y de resistencia (con pesas) aumentan de manera inmediata el rendimiento cognitivo (PC). El entrenamiento funcional de alta intensidad (HIFT) combina las características de ambos regímenes, pero su efecto sobre el rendimiento cognitivo no está claro. Treinta y cinco individuos sanos (26,7 ± 3,6 años, 18 mujeres) fueron asignados al azar a tres grupos. El primer grupo (HIFT) realizó un entrenamiento funcional con el máximo esfuerzo y en formato de circuito involucrando todos los grupos musculares del cuerpo, mientras que el segundo grupo (WALK) caminó al 60% de la reserva de frecuencia cardíaca. El tercer grupo permaneció físicamente inactivo leyendo un libro (CON). Antes y después del período de intervención que duro 15 minutos, el rendimiento cognitivo se evaluó con el Stroop Task, Trail Making Test y Digit Span Test. Se utilizaron ANOVA de medidas repetidas e intervalos de confianza del 95% post-hoc para detectar diferencias en los grupos y tiempo (previo y posterior a los protocolos). Se encontró una interacción significativa entre los grupos y el tiempo para la condición de conteo hacia atras de Digit Span Test (p = 0.04, IC 95%). HIFT fue superior a WALK y CON. Ademas, el análisis de la puntuación total del Digit Span Test y la condición incongruente del Stroop Task, reveló efectos pre y post (p 0.05). En conclusión, HIFT representa un método apropiado para mejorar de manera inmediata la memoria de trabajo, siendo potencialmente superior al ejercicio de tipo aeróbico moderado. El entrenamiento funcional de alta intensidad (HIFT, por sus siglas en inglés) como metodo de entrenamiento es una tendencia muy popular en el mundo del fitness, que integra el esfuerzo cardiovascular y muscular. El HIFT utiliza movimientos funcionales, multimodales y multiarticulares, por ejemplo, sentadillas, flexiones y burpees (Buckley et al., 2015). Los ejercicios funcionales utilizan todo el cuerpo y provocan un patrón de reclutamiento motor universal (Heinrich et al., 2014). El HIFT también tiene una configuración de intervalos de descanso mínimo o casi nulo (Feito, Heinrich, Butcher, & Poston, 2018). Las características mencionadas anteriormente confieren al HIFT la capacidad de mejorar la fuerza y la potencia muscular, así como de generar adaptaciones cardiovasculares anaeróbicas y aeróbicas, por lo que se ha demostrado que el HIFT desencadena efectos beneficiosos sobre el consumo de oxígeno (Vo2max), la potencia anaeróbica y fuerza muscular (Alcaraz et al., 2008; Brisebois et al., 2018; Menz et al., 2019). Además, el HIFT parece causar también beneficios neurofisiologicos. Los primeros estudios neurocientíficos asocian el HIFT con una reducción aguda del BDNF (García-Suárez et al., 2020), y curiosamente, en intervenciones más largas con un incremento del BDNF basal (Murawska-Ciałowicz et al., 2021). Además, una sesión aguda de entrenamiento del circuito HIFT mejoró la memoria a corto plazo y el control inhibitorio (Wilke et al., 2020) y una intervención de tres meses mejoró el rendimiento en el aprendizaje espacial, la separación de patrones y la capacidad de atención (Ben-Zeev, Hirsh, Weiss, Gornstein y Okun, 2020). En este estudio la intervencion consistía en una sesion de 15 ejercicios funcionales para todo el cuerpo, realizados en formato de circuito con repeticiones de 20 segundos de entrenamiento y 10 segundos de descanso. Con una duración total de 15 minutos. La selección de los ejercicios se basó en dos objetivos principales (a) la implicación de los principales grupos musculares para aumentar el consumo absoluto de oxígeno y (b) la simulación de patrones de movimiento fundamentales de uso diario (por ejemplo, sentadillas, desplantes, flexiones). El rendimiento cognitivo (CP), que puede subdividirse en funciones cognitivas de orden superior (por ejemplo, control inhibitorio o memoria de trabajo) y de orden inferior (por ejemplo, atención o tiempo de reacción). Las revisiones sistemáticas disponibles han investigado los efectos del ejercicio de tipo aeróbico, han detectando un efecto positivo en el CP incluso cuando se realiza como un único entrenamiento. Tanto el ejercicio continuo aerobico de intensidad moderada como de alta intensidad han reportado un impacto positivo en el rendimiento cognitivo. El test de Stroop consta de tres partes. En la primera y segunda sección de captación de la atención, se pide a los participantes que nombren lo más rápidamente posible las palabras escritas o los colores que aparecen en una hoja. La tercera sección representa una medida de control de la inhibición. Las palabras de colores se presentan de forma incongruente (por ejemplo, "verde" escrito en rojo o "azul escrito en amarillo"). Aquí, los participantes deben nombrar el color de la palabra mientras ignoraban las letras. Para el análisis posterior, se registra el tiempo necesario para completar la tarea. Se ha demostrado que el test de Stroop presenta una alta fiabilidad (ICC: 0,82) y consistencia interna (alfa de Cronbach: 0,93-0,97). Es el Episodio 4 Correr y Salud Mental puedes aprender mas sobre esta prueba cognitiva. El test de creación de rastros (TMT) consta de dos partes. En la parte A, los participantes deben conectar números linealmente crecientes utilizando un bolígrafo a la máxima velocidad posible. En la parte B, deben enlazar números y letras sucesivos (por ejemplo, del 1 al a y del 2 al b) de forma alterna. Al igual que en la prueba Stroop, se registra el tiempo necesario para completar la prueba. Los resultados de la prueba proporcionan una medida de detección visual/atención (TMT-A) y de flexibilidad cognitiva/memoria de trabajo (TMT-B). Se ha demostrado una alta fiabilidad (ICC: 0,81-0,86) y validez de constructo de la TMT. En la prueba de amplitud de dígitos, se realizan dos condiciones. En la primera, los participantes tienen que memorizar y repetir cantidades crecientes de números que se les leen. Al principio, deben recordar cuatro números. Si la memorización es satisfactoria, se les leen cinco números los memorizan y repiten, y asi continua subiendo la cantidad de numeros leidos que tienen que memorizar y repetir. Para cada paso, se realizan dos repeticiones y se otorgan uno o cero puntos en función del éxito de la memorización. La prueba termina si se fallan los dos ensayos. La segunda condición es idéntica a la primera, pero los números deben repetirse en orden inverso (por ejemplo, 2, 4, 7, 9 se convierte en 9, 7, 4, 2). Ambas partes de la prueba y la puntuación compuesta están relacionadas con la memoria a corto plazo y la memoria de trabajo. La prueba de amplitud de dígitos es fiable en las mediciones repetidas (r = 0,73). Los participantes del grupo WALK realizaron 15 minutos de marcha en cinta rodante al 60% de la reserva de frecuencia cardíaca individual. La RFC se determina mediante la fórmula de Karvonen (frecuencia cardíaca en reposo + ((frecuencia cardíaca máxima - frecuencia cardíaca en reposo) x intensidad). Esto es porque Los resultados de este estudio sugieren que el HIFT puede mejorar de forma inmediata el rendimiento cognitivo, concretamente la memoria a corto plazo/de trabajo y el control inhibitorio. Siendo el HIFT ligeramente superior al ejercicio aerobico continuo. Los autores mencionan que los posibles mecanismos que explican este aumento en el rendimiento cognitivo son Aumento de la perfusión cerebral tras el ejercicio de resistencia (Querido & Sheel, 2007; Ogoh & Ainslie, 2009). El aumento de los niveles séricos de cortisol y BDNF, que se ha reportado con entrenamiento de resistencia (pesas) (Tsai, et al. 2014; Yarrow, et al. 2010). Sin embargo los resultados son contradictorios en el sentido que no reportan mejoras con el ejercicio aeróbico, las cuales han sido encontradas en estudios anteriores con intensidades del 40 al 80% de la capacidad maxima de oxigeno ( Brisswalter, et al. 2002; Chang, et al. 2012). Acerca de este tema, Browne et al. 2017 sugiere que multiples factores, como el nivel de forma física y el modo de ejercicio, influyen en la relación entre el ejercicio y la cognición. Una implicación clinica práctica importante del presente estudio es que el HIFT representa una alternativa al uso de otros métodos de entrenamiento convencionales, no sólo en lo que respecta a la mejora o recuperacion de la función muscular y cardiovascular (Wilke, et al. 2020; Menz, et al. 2019), sino también cuando se pretende mejorar el rendimiento cognitivo a corto plazo. El HIFT también podría ser interesante para los individuos sedentarios con poca motivacion y tiempo limitado para hacer ejercicio, ya que se ha reportado una mayor motivacion intrinseca y mayor disfrute del ejercicio que una actividad de tipo aeróbico moderado (Wilke, et al. 2020). No se investigo la sosteníbilidad de la mejora de la PC, con evaluaciones de seguimiento adicionales, por lo que investigar los cambios 5, 10 15, 30, 60 minutos después o incluso 2, 6, 12, 24 horas después del entrenamiento a largo plazo es una tarea pendiente.No incluyó una comparación con una sesión de entrenamiento aeróbico o de resistencia con pesas de intensidad equivalente, es decir de alta intensidad. Solamente HIFT fue de alta intensidad, pero el ejercicio aeróbico estuvo en el limite superior de ejercicio de baja intensidad, con lo que la diferencia en intensidad pudo haber afectado la comparación.

Does the time of day that you run really affect your performance? What's the best time of day to run? What's the most beautiful parkrun in the country? And is there a dancer inside of you waiting to get out? These are the questions that I ask in this week's podcast with a more detailed look at a paper from Nature Research's Scientific Reports (2020) 10:16088 entitled Gold, silver or bronze: circadian variation strongly affects performance in Olympic athletes.

Today we celebrate the first woman to describe Fungi ("funj-eye") using the Linnaean system of classification. We'll also learn about a little-known prolific nature and floral writer from the 1800s. We hear a little recollection by a garden writer who received an armload of Forsythia from a friend named Alice, just when she needed it most.

Catharina was born into an intellectual family in Hildesheim, a community Southeast of Hannover. Her father, Ranier, believed that while beauty fades, ignorance can be a lifelong affliction. And so, Rainier made sure that his daughter Catharina was educated. After the death of her parents and her brother, Catharina sought work as a governess nearly 200 miles away in the town of Dillenburg. Catharina worked for the Erath (“AIR-rit”) family - Anton was an attorney and scholar, and Sophie was a childhood friend to Catharina. Catharina could not have found a more like-minded household to her own family than the Eraths. Like her own parents, Anton and Sophie wanted both their sons and their daughters to be educated. Ultimately, the Eraths would become Catharina’s second family. As a teacher, Catharina turned to nature to teach about all subjects and life as well. Realizing there were few resources for teaching women or children, Catharina wrote her own textbooks, which were heavily focused on botany and the natural world. It was rare enough that Catharina was teaching children and women about the natural world; it was nearly miraculous that she could research and write her own instructional guides. As the Erath children grew, Catharina was able to focus on her botanical work. Anton helped Catharina gain membership to the Botanical Society of Florence - something unheard of for women of her time. Catharina would go on to be a member of the Berlin Society of Friends of Nature Research and the Regensburg Botanical Society. During Catharina’s time, Dillenburg was part of the Orange-Nassau principality, and she gradually came to the idea of creating a Flora for Orange-Nassau. Using her spare time to travel throughout the region, Catharina visited most areas at least twice to capture plant life in different seasons. During the winter months, Catharina dedicated her focus on the smallest plants: lichen, mosses, and fungi ("funj-eye"). In 1777, Catharina published her 496-page flora, which used the Linnaean system to organize and name each specimen. Catharina’s flora was remarkable for the 1700s - not only for using the Linnaean system and for the inclusion of new plants and plant names but also for the sheer fact that it was the work of a woman. Catharine became the first woman to name two new fungi ("funj-eye") during the 1700s. During her fieldwork, Catharina created over 1,400 illustrations of local flora and fauna. Yet, these masterpieces never made it into her flora. Instead, Catharina’s botanical art became an heirloom that was passed down through the generations of the Erath family. In 1875 a few pieces of Catharina’s work were shown at an exhibition. However, fifteen years later, a large collection of paintings by a man named Johann Philipp Sandberger was bought by the Museum of Wiesbaden. Johann was a dear friend of Anton Erath’s, and today, his work is considered to be copies of Catharine's original watercolor masterpieces. And yet, Sandberger’s pieces are precious because they give us a glimpse of Catharine’s breadth and depth of talent. Without Sandberger, all would be lost because the bulk of Catharine’s work has been lost to time. The curator Friedrich von Heinbeck once said that the precision of Catharine’s brush strokes was like that of an embroiderer who stitched with only the finest of thread. From a historical standpoint, Catharina became an invaluable part of Dillenburg's history when she created drawings and drafts of the destruction of Dillenburg Castle. It seems her interests extended beyond botany to the world around her. Catharina was a true Renaissance woman. Following in the fifty-year-old footsteps of botanical artists like Maria Sibylla Merian and Elizabeth Blackwell, Catharine managed to distinguish herself not only by her exquisite botanical art but also by her botanical work and in the naming two plants - two little lichens, she named major Doerrieni (“Durr-ee-en-ee”) and minor Doerrieni. Over the past three decades, Catharine’s life story has been rediscovered. In 2000, Regina Viereck wrote a biography of Catharina called "Zwar sind es weibliche Hände: Die Botanikerin und Pädagogin Catharina” Helena Dörrien (1717-1795) or "They are the hands of a woman” - the botanist and educator Catharina Helena Dörrien. And in 2018, Catharina’s story became the subject of an elaborate musical by Ingrid Kretz and debuted in Dillenburg; it was called Catharina Dörrien - A Life Between Love and War.   March 1, 1877 Today is the birthday of the children’s author, volunteer, poet, and teacher Lenore Elizabeth Mulets. Born Nora Mulertz in Kansas, Lenore’s mother died when she was just ten years old. Raised by her uncle’s family, Lenore left for Chicago’s Wheaton College to become a teacher. She found a position in Malden, Massachusetts, and then served as a YMCA canteen worker during WWI in Germany and France. I pieced together Lenore’s life story by reading the letters she sent to her sister Mildred during her time in Europe. Mildred shared the letters with the local Wellington Kanas newspaper. In addition to teaching, Lenore was a marvelous children’s author. Her books were always charming and uplifting. Her titles include Stories of Birds, Flower Stories, Insect Stories, Tree Stories, and Stories of Trees, just to name a few. In the preface to Flower Stories, Lenore wrote, “When the flowers of the field and garden lift their bright faces to you, can you call them by name and greet them as old acquaintances? Or, having passed them a hundred times, are they still strangers to you? In this little book of "Flower Stories," only our very familiar friends have been planted. About them have been woven our favorite poems, songs, and stories.” Regarding the seeds, Lenore wrote, A wonderful thing is a seed;  The one thing deathless forever;  Forever old and forever new;  Utterly faithful and utterly true –  Fickle and faithless never.  Plant lilies and lilies will bloom; Plant roses and roses will grow; Plant hate and hate to life will spring; Plant love and love to you will bring The fruit of the seed you sow. And long before Twitter, in her book Stories of Birds, Lenore wrote: Such a twittering and fluttering there was when this news came.   Unearthed Words My first winter in this country was long and bitterly cold, and I was desperate for spring, which I then was used to seeing appear far earlier. One day a new friend brought me an armful of Forsythia branches still covered with half-melted snow — sensing my homesickness, she had denuded one of her bushes for me. I had nowhere cold and bright in the apartment in which we were living, so that Forsythia had to be put in a hot, unlighted hall. But this particular present came to me late in the season and at a time when Forsythia will flower even when forced under intolerable conditions. And when it last in this strange country, something came to life through my efforts. I began to feel that here was truly home. Now each year, as the Forsythia flowers again for me indoors, I remember that incident as the turning point in my feelings about this country, and I recall with deep affection the sensitivity of that friend. — Thalassa Cruso, British-American gardener, writer, TV presenter and ''the Julia Child of Horticulture”, To Everything There is a Season, Alice and Forsythia   Grow That Garden Library Fearless Gardening by Loree Bohl This book came out in January of 2021, and the subtitle is Be Bold, Break the Rules, and Grow What You Love. In this book, the woman behind the website, The Danger Garden, teaches us how to live on the edge and in the beds of our Gardens without fear or anxiety. Loree lives to “inspire people to look at plants differently and see their gardens through new eyes—to treat gardening as an adventure, to embrace the freedom to explore a new type of plant, and then to plant it just because they want to.” The roots of horticulture in academia have provided a framework of do’s and don’ts cloaked within a fortress of botanical nomenclature and complex terminology. It’s no wonder gardeners feel anxious. As Loree says, “Why not surround yourself with plants you love? Who cares if they’re not supposed to be planted together, might eventually crowd each other, or aren’t everyone’s cup of tea? It’s your garden and you should love it; you should be having fun. Remember, there's always room for one more plant…” This book is 256 pages of gardening without a rulebook or guilt or all the should’s and oughta’s from a woman who made her garden her own way through courageous experimentation, zone-pushing, an artistic eye, and an adventurous spirit.

This would make the rose older than any known civilization ... and a forerunner of the Garden of Eden.  Since 1979 has been designated "The Year of the Rose," perhaps a little rose history is in order, says John A. Wott, Purdue University extension home environment horticulturist.  Briefly, all of our roses came from species. Cross-species gave us a new hybrid type of rose, and crossing of types provided another new type.  Rosa gallica, the Adam of roses native to the western hemisphere, crossed with Rosa moschata begat the Autumn Damask;  Rosa gallica, crossed with Rosa canina, begat the Alba, and crossed with Rosa Phoenicia begat the Damask.  The Damask, crossed with Alba, begat centifolia, and on and on... All of these western hemisphere crosses yielded roses with an annual flowering, except for the Autumn Damask.  In the late 1700s, botanists discovered everblooming roses growing in the gardens of the sub-tropics in China. Because of their tea-like fragrance, they became known as Tea Roses.  When these tea roses were crossed with descendants of the gallica, the first result was the bourbon. And bourbon, crossed with a tea, produced hybrid perpetual.  Hybrid perpetual, crossed back to tea, begat hybrid tea, and... Now for some interesting facts about roses:  Did you know no rose species are native to any land areas south of the equator?  Did you know the name rose appears in no fewer than 4,000 published songs?  Did you know the rose is the official state flower of New York, Iowa, Georgia, and North Dakota?  Did you know that in all polls ever taken to determine the most popular flower, the rose is the overwhelming favorite?  Did you know the rose has been sniffed by royalty for centuries?  We owe much to Empress Josephine of France for our modern-day roses… [It was Josephine who] assembled the leading hybridizers of her time and sponsored their experiments to develop new strains and varieties.”   Thanks for listening to The Daily Gardener. And remember: "For a happy, healthy life, garden every day."

The U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service estimates up to 500,000 birds are killed annually in the United States due to wind turbine collisions. The number of deaths will continue to increase as more turbines populate our nation's landscape. Raptors are especially vulnerable to colliding with wind turbines due to their flight patterns. They typically soar during high winds, bringing them in line with spinning turbines that appear to them as nothing more than a blur. The first wind farm to formally ask the Fish and Wildlife Service for permission to harm golden eagles is located right here in Central Oregon. The Obama Administration later passed a rule allowing energy companies to apply for 30-year permits for any “non-intentional eagle deaths at wind farms.” However, Norwegian researchers may have a simple solution to save their lives. Dr. Roel May from the Norwegian Institute for Nature Research presented a decade-long study to the Oregon House Committee on Natural Resources earlier this year about how black paint could minimize fatalities. Researchers painted one turbine blade black, reducing the “motion smear” that makes it difficult for birds to see the spinning blades. The result was an astonishing 71% decrease in collisions. Wind farms should not get a free pass to kill a protected species. However, if the government continues to turn a blind eye, wind farms should at least consider the results of this study and paint turbine blades black to save our birds. --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/coffeewithcascade/message

Two projects aimed at boosting female representation in STEM have won the second Nature Research Awards for Inspiring Science and Innovating Science, in partnership with The Estée Lauder Companies.Jean Fan spent a year volunteering at a science club for high school students during her PhD programme at Harvard University and was struck by how many of them dismissed the idea of becoming scientists themselves."A lot of my students would make remarks like 'I'm not quite a maths person,' or would not see themselves as future scientists," she tells Julie Gould."I really wanted to leave them with some type of gift to encourage them to continue developing their interest in science."As a result Fan, who was the sole female graduate student in her PhD bioinformatics programme, launched cuSTEMized, a non-profit that uses personalised educational storybooks (which she writes and illustrates) to inspire girls about scientific careers.This week, at a ceremony in London, she won the 2019 Inspiring Science Award, one of two offered by Nature Research and the Estée Lauder Companies.The second award, Innovation in Science, goes to Doreen Anene, a PhD student at the University of Nottingham, UK.In 2017 Anene launched The STEM Belle, a non-profile based in Nigeria, her home country. The STEM Belle also works in Ghana and Pakistan. As its website says, The STEM Belle is "focused on levelling up the female representation in Science Technology Engineering and Mathematics fields by attracting, retaining and advancing more girls and young women to STEM subjects and fields."

Uma tentativa de criar mosquitos transgênicos para conter a população do Aedes aegypti e controlar a transmissão de dengue, febre amarela, zika e chikungunya pode ter tido efeito contrário e produzido insetos híbridos mais resistentes. É o que indica um artigo publicado no início de setembro pela “Scientific Reports”, do grupo Nature Research, que cogita a possibilidade de o cruzamento entre diferentes espécies ter criado um “supermosquito”. A empresa britânica de biotecnologia Oxitec é a responsável pelo experimento e liberou esses mosquitos em cinco cidades brasileiras: Jacobina e Juazeiro, na Bahia, Piracicaba e Indaiatuba, em São Paulo, e Juiz de Fora, em Minas Gerais. A publicação do artigo gerou controvérsias e foi assunto de uma reportagem publicada esta semana no caderno Interessa, do jornal O Tempo. Para explicar todas as questões envolvidas no caso nós convidamos a reporter Litza Mattos, autora da matéria, para o episódio do Tempo Hábil desta semana. Ouça!

China's investment in materials science makes it an attractive destination for young foreign researchers looking to relocate, with decent salaries and facilities that many western universities would envy.John Plummer, senior portfolio editor for Nature Research and a former senior editor for Nature Materials, based in Shanghai, says this investment is driven by the Chinese government's desire to deliver cutting-edge research and raise the living standard of people living in rural areas.The challenge, as with other parts of the world, is to give researchers independence and time to innovate, rather than face pressure to publish, and to deliver a quick return on investment, he adds.Xin Li, associate editor of Nature Materials, also based in Shanghai, describes China's technology transfer environment and how the country's lab culture compares to labs in the west.Finally, Plummer speculates on the likely impact of the current trade war between the US and China have on research collaboration and innovation.Nature Briefing See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

Alexandra Olaya-Castro describes how she draws on experiences she faced earlier in her career to support women and colleagues from minority groups in her current role as professor of physics at University College London. "Like any stereotype you can only break it down by doing what you really think is right. But you also need a network of colleagues that you can trust. The advice I give to both men and women is that if there is a minority in any group, pay them attention. Be sensitive to that person," she says.Astrophysicist Mirjana Pović, winner of Nature Research’s inaugural Inspiring Science Award, one of two prizes developed in partnership with The Estée Lauder Companies, describes her efforts to encourage African women and girls to pursue science careers, a role she juggles alongside her own research at the Ethiopian Space Science and Technology Institute in Addis Ababa and the Institute of Astrophysics of Andalusia in Granada, Spain.See also:Meet the space researcher smoothing the path for women in science across AfricaHungarian association wins prize for promoting participation of women in science See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

The Association of Hungarian Women in Science (NATE) has won Nature Research's inaugural Innovation in Science Award, one of two global prizes launched in partnership with The Estée Lauder Companies and presented at a ceremony in London held on 30 October 2018.In this podcast Julie Gould talks to NATE president Katalin Balázsi about the organisations's achievements and its success at inspiring women and girls to develop careers in science, technology, engineering and maths (STEM). Balázsi was one of ten women scientists who founded the association ten years ago. A follow-up podcast interview with Mirjana will go live soon.Many of the women helped by NATE juggle their careers alongside family commitments. Nana Lee, a mother of three and an assistant professor in biochemistry at the University of Toronto, concludes this episode with some advice on how to strike a balance between the two competing pressures.A companion prize, the Inspiring Science Award, was presented to Mirjana Pović, an astrophysicist at the Ethiopian Space Science and Technology Institute in Addis Ababa.See also:Nature Research Awards for Inspiring Science and Innovating ScienceHungarian association wins prize for promoting participation of women in scienceMeet the space researcher smoothing the path for women in science across AfricaNew awards aim to celebrate women in science See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

Hey...where's the baby food? Atlantic Puffins in Lofoten are beautiful and possibly in trouble. Puffins travel thousands of miles to gather on ancient breeding cliffs. Hardworking parents can fly 100 km a day and dive 60 m deep to find food for their chicks. But something's not right. The herring and other small forage fish are too small and too dispersed to feed the chicks. In the last decade, almost none of the baby puffins are surviving. Could the decline in puffins and other coastal birds around the world be an indicator of big changes in our ocean ecosystems? How do scientists cope? This episode marks the beginning of a running theme on seabirds in the hello X podcast and stories. Meet marine biologist Zoe Burr, from the UNIS (Univ. Centre of Svalbard/ Fram flagship research group on Effects of Climate Change on Coastal Ecology in the North) who studies a breeding colony of Puffins on Hernyken, one of a cluster of remote islands called Røst near Lofoten in Northern Norway. Zoe is part of a team led by Tycho Anker-Nilssen, senior researcher at the NINA (Norwegian Inst. for Nature Research) collecting long-term data on seabird colonies. This is the first of the hello X science spotlights, interviews with researchers in the Arctic that complement the main episodes, which include both the creative development of the X fiction stories, along with shorter discussions on science.
