It's the end of everything! Welcome back to Part 2 of our season finale featuring Dr. Charles Liu, co-host Allen Liu, and our guest archaeology expert and author, Hannah Liu, MEd. (If you haven't caught up to Part 1, we highly recommend you do before embarking on the next leg of this journey! Listen here or wherever you get your podcasts!) We pick right up where we left off, with the next question from our audience. Daniela asks, “If a black hole hits the Sun, will Earth be destroyed?” Chuck explains a few ways a black hole can mess with our day, including the fact that long before any actual collision took place, the Sun would start shedding material that would destroy us. He compares that unlikely event to the actual example of cosmic destruction we're watching in NGC 4676 – aka “The Mice” – which are two galaxies swirling together in a death spiral playing out over hundreds of millions of years. Naturally, this leads Chuck to ponder what happens when civilizations fall apart here on Earth, and Hannah brings up the collapse of the Roman Empire. As she explains, “the fall of Rome happened a lot of times, and also, no time.” From 44 BCE and the assassination of Julius Caesar, to the 476 invasion and conquest of Rome by the Germanic tribes denoted by Edward Gibbon in The History of the Decline and Fall of the Roman Empire, to the fact ever since nations have claimed to be the descendants or inheritors of Rome. Chuck points out the influence of Gibbon's book on Isaac Asimov's “Foundation” series, followed by a very quick romp through “Decline and Fall of America” literature including The Handmaid's Tale, A Canticle for Liebowitz, Man in the High Castle, and the zombie apocalypse tour de force, World War Z. Then it's time for another question from the audience: Michael says, “I heard that scientists brought back a dire wolf. Could they bring back dinosaurs or animals that could destroy us all?” It turns out, these resurrected animals are just gray wolves that have been engineered to have some characteristics of the extinct predator. It's still a pretty impressive feat, though, and you'll hear how they collected bits and pieces of dire wolf DNA to “resurrect them.” Allen also brings up similar modification experiments they're doing on chickens to make them more dinosaur-like. Allen points out that bioengineered germs are far more likely to cause our destruction than resurrected dinosaurs, regardless of the world envisioned in the Jurassic Park franchise. And speaking of Michael Crichton, Chuck gives us a breakdown of his sci-fi classic, The Andromeda Strain, about bacteria from space that cause a biological outbreak here on Earth. Hannah points out that historically, some of the biggest killers of human beings have been plagues. She gives us a guided tour of the bubonic plagues, from the Black Death, which may have wiped out as much as 60% of the population of Europe, to the Plague of Justinian a thousand years earlier that killed as many as 100 million people, while also name dropping the Antonine Plague and the Spanish Flu!) And that's it Season 4 of The LIUniverse. Stay tuned for Season 5 after the summer.

Subscriber-only episodeSend us a textOne of the last projects recorded by singer/actress Marianne Faithfull (who passed away in January) was a 2021 spoken word album of English Romantic poetry, including a hauntingly beautiful 12-minute recitation of Tennyson's “Lady of Shalott.” After exploring Faithfull's passion for (and family connections to) classic literature, Amy finds new meaning in this poem about an exiled woman fated to forever view life through a mirror's reflection. This episode includes accounts of several other doomed and exiled noblewomen in history — Lucrezia de Medici and Marguerite de la Rocque — and the books their lives inspired.Mentioned in this episode:She Walks in Beauty by Marianne Faithfull“As Tears Go By” by Marianne Faithfull“The Lady of Shalott” by Alfred, Lord TennysonVenus in Furs by Leopold von Sacher-MasochVenus in Furs by The Velvet UndergroundThe Marriage Portrait by Maggie O'FarrellLucrezia de MediciPortrait of Lucrezia de Medici at North Carolina Museum of Art“My Last Duchess” by Robert BrowningIsola by Allegra GoodmanMarguerite de la RocqueThe Heptameron by Marguerite de NavarreFor episodes and show notes, visit: LostLadiesofLit.comDiscuss episodes on our Facebook Forum.

Ep.231 Lina Iris Viktor is a Liberian- artist who lives and works in Italy. Influenced by architecture, archaeology, West African sculptural traditions, ancient Egyptian iconography, classical astronomy and European portraiture, her paintings, sculptures, performances, photography and water-gilding with 24-carat gold produce a charged materiality that address philosophical ideas of the finite and the infinite, the microcosm and macrocosm, evanescence and eternity. Her use of gold, marble, bronze, wood and volcanic rock establish an intimate and intangible timelessness whilst her focus on black as ‘materia prima' challenges the sociopolitical and historical preconceptions surrounding ‘blackness' and its universal implications. By interweaving disparate materials, methods and visual lexicons associated with contemporary and ancient art forms, Viktor authors an idiosyncratic mythology that threads through deep time, knitting together a diasporic past with an expansive present in order to divine future imaginaries. Viktor received her BA in film at Sarah Lawrence College and studied photography at The School of Visual Arts in New York. Solo exhibitions include Sir John Soane's Museum, London (2024); Fotografiska Museum of Photography, Stockholm & Tallinn(2020); Autograph, London (2019); and New Orleans Museum of Art (2018), among others. Group exhibitions include the Museum of the African Diaspora [MoAD],San Francisco (2024); Hayward Gallery, London (2022); North Carolina Museum of Art, Raleigh (2020); Somerset House, London (2019); Ford Foundation, New York(2019) ); Ford Foundation, New York (2019); Crocker Art Museum, Sacramento (2018); Kentucky Museum of Art and Craft, Louisville (2016); Spelman Museum of Fine Art, Atlanta (2016); and Cooper Gallery, Harvard University, Cambridge (2016).

Hello everyone and welcome to the show!  Mike Pingleton here, and I am your host for these proceedings.  And here we go with Episode One Hundred and Seven, and our guest for this episode is Dr. Skylar Hopkins, Assistant Professor in the Department of Applied Ecology at North Carolina State University. Some sad news to talk about first. This show is dedicated to the memory of Hans Breuer, who passed away just a few weeks ago. You may remember my conversation with Hans for Episode 91, last December just a year ago. Hans and I traded quips and wordplay and herping stuff for close to twenty years, and many, many folks in the herping community have done the same, he was a lovely person to know. Hans is one of those friends that I've never managed to meet and of course now I deeply regret that. My heart goes out to his family, to his wife and his sons, and to all the many folks out there who also mourn his passing. We miss you old friend. And as always, I am grateful to all the show's patrons who help to keep the show moving forward. And if you're out there listening and you would like to kick in a few bucks, it's easy to do, you simply go to the So Much Pingle Patreon page. You can support the show for as little as three bucks a month – less than a fancy cup of coffee! You can also support the show via one-time contributions via PayPal or Venmo (please contact me via email to somuchpingle@gmail.com). This is another one of those times when a plan comes together in such a way that it almost seems pre-ordained. Skylar was going to be giving a presentation in early October at the University of Illinois here in my home town, and of course my first thought is how about coming on the show? And since Skylar was keen to visit Snake Road, what better recording venue than a campfire in the Shawnee National Forest? I've done a few of those as most of you know.  And of course, we're trading studio sound quality for a crackling fire and some katydids but that's some good ambience right there.  And the next day Skylar and I spent a little time walking on Snake Road, and that was a fun time to wrap up the whole experience. For those folks who want to salvage non-threatened DOR specimens in North Carolina to support the research efforts of Skylar and others , the point of contact is Jeff Beane at the North Carolina Museum of Natural Sciences. And thanks in advance! And for those folks interested in the book Emerging Zoonotic and Wildlife Pathogens, You can order our textbook here (paperback) or here (hardcover), or wherever you usually buy textbooks. The authors (Skylar, Dan Selkeld, and David Hayman) thank you in advance! Thanks for talking with me, Skylar!  And thanks for listening everyone! And as always, please keep the comments and suggestions coming, and please take time to rate the show on your podcast platform! The show email is somuchpingle@gmail.com, and there's also a So Much Pingle group on Facebook, for discussion, comments, feedback, suggestions, herp confessions, tips for herping better, etc. -Mike

Stephanie's Career Journey Early Interests and Education: Stephanie Manka, originally known as Stephanie Shuttler, began her academic journey with a major in biology, initially considering a career in medicine as a backup to her interest in acting. She discovered her passion for wildlife biology during a study abroad program in Africa, which opened her eyes to the possibility of a career in wildlife conservation. Academic Path: Stephanie pursued her PhD focusing on forest elephants and animal behavior, utilizing non-invasive genetics for her research. After completing her PhD, she undertook two postdoctoral positions, one of which lasted five years in Raleigh, North Carolina, within the research triangle. Transition to Science Communication: While working at the North Carolina Museum of Natural Sciences, Stephanie developed a love for science communication, blogging about her experiences and the challenges of the job market in wildlife biology. She realized that her research, while valuable, often went unnoticed in academic journals and sought to make a more direct impact through communication and mentoring. Establishing Her Business: In April 2020, Stephanie launched her own business, focusing on career mentoring and science communication. She began offering group programs and writing a book, leveraging her experiences to help others navigate the competitive job market in wildlife conservation. Current Focus: Stephanie now combines science communication with career mentoring, helping aspiring wildlife professionals improve their job applications and gain clarity on their career paths. She emphasizes the importance of networking, gaining relevant experience, and crafting strong job applications tailored to specific roles. Advice from Stephanie Clarity and Strategy: Identify what you truly want to do in your career. Having a clear goal helps in targeting the right opportunities and experiences. Build Experience: Gain a variety of experiences, especially those that align closely with your career goals. This may involve taking on multiple jobs or internships. Networking: Build and maintain a professional network. Connections can lead to job opportunities and valuable insights into the field. Strong Job Applications: Focus on writing compelling job applications. Many candidates struggle with this, often writing generic applications that do not highlight their unique experiences and skills. Invest in Yourself: Consider investing in career coaching or mentoring programs. This investment can lead to greater accountability and motivation, ultimately enhancing your chances of success. Resilience and Dedication: Persistence is key. The job market can be competitive, but with dedication and the right strategy, success is achievable.

Episode No. 671 features curator, professor, and former museum director Dean Sobel, and artist Jackie Winsor. Winsor, a leading Canadian-American post-minimalist and feminist sculptor, died last week at 82. She was the first female sculptor to receive a retrospective at the Museum of Modern Art, New York (1979), which holds five of her works in its collection. The most recent institutional survey of Winsor's work was at MAMCO Geneva in 2022. This week's program opens with Sobel, who organized the 1991 Winsor retrospective at the Milwaukee Art Museum. (The show traveled to the Newport Harbor Art Museum, Newport Beach, Calif., the North Carolina Museum of Art, Raleigh, the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston, and the Akron Art Museum in Ohio.  Sobel was later the director of the Clyfford Still Museum in Denver, and is a professor at the University of Denver. Next will be host Tyler Green's 2014 conversation with Winsor, apparently the next-to-last interview for which she sat. (See her 2019 program with MoMA curator Christophe Cherix.) The program was recorded on the occasion of "Jackie Winsor: With and Within" at The Aldrich, Ridgefield, Conn. For images, see Episode No. 154.

When the United States declared war in April 1917, it was unprepared to actually fight a war in Europe. The regular army was small and American industry needed time to produce war materials on a massive scale. It also needed time to train and transport troops. States would play an important role in mobilization – both in terms of manpower and in terms of the resources and industry. The 48 states that made up the United States in 1917 were all able to contribute in unique ways, based on their demographics, industry, and natural resources. To discuss North Carolina and World War I, the World War I Podcast hosted Charles Knight, Curator of Military History for the North Carolina Museum of History. Have a comment about this episode?

Curator Ekow Eshun reframes the Black figure in historic and contemporary art, surveying its presences, absences, and representations in Western/European art history, the African diaspora, and beyond, via The Time is Always Now (2024). In 1956, the American author James Baldwin wrote: ‘There is never time in the future in which we will work out our salvation. The challenge is in the moment, the time is always now.' Heeding Baldwin's urgent call, Ekow Eshun's new exhibition brings together 22 leading contemporary African diasporic artists from the UK and the US, whose practices emphasise the Black figure through mediums such as painting, drawing, and sculpture. These figurative artists and artworks address difficult histories like slavery, colonialism, and racism and, at the same time, speak to contemporary experiences of Blackness from their own personal perspectives. Ekow explains how artists like Kerry James Marshall, Amy Sherald, and Thomas J. Price acknowledge the paradox of race, and the increased cultural visibility and representation of lived experiences. Beyond celebration, though, The Time Is Always Now follow the consequences of these artists' practices, and what is at stake in depicting the Black figure today. We discuss the plurality of perspectives on view, and how fragmented, collage-like works by Nathaniel Mary Quinn, Lorna Simpson, and Titus Kaphar reconsider W.E.B. Du Bois' understanding of ‘double consciousness' (1897) as a burden, to a 21st century vantage point. Ekow shares the real people depicted in Michael Armitage's surrealistic, religious scenes, whilst connecting works with shared motifs from Godfried Donkor's boxers, to Denzil Forrester and Chris Ofili's dancing forms. We talk about how how history is not just in the past, and how we might think more ‘historically from the present'. Plus, we consider the real life relationships in works by Njideka Akunyili Crosby and Jordan Casteel, - and those shared between artists like Henry Taylor and Noah Davis - shifting the gaze from one of looking at, to looking with, Black figures. Starting at the National Portrait Gallery in London, The Time is Always Now: Artists Reframe the Black Figure travels to The Box in Plymouth from 28 June to 29 September 2024. It will then tour to the Philadelphia Museum of Art and North Carolina Museum of Art in the US into 2025. And as promised, some news - this episode announces my appointment as Contemporary Art Curator at The Box in Plymouth. Join me there in conversation with Ekow on Saturday 29 June, and with Hettie Judah, curator and writer of Acts of Creation with exhibiting artists Barbara Walker, Claudette Johnson, and Wangechi Mutu, on Saturday 20 July. You can also join a Bitesize Tour on selected Wednesdays during the exhibition. And you can hear this episode, and more from the artists, on the Bloomberg Connects app by searching ‘The Box Plymouth'. EMPIRE LINES will continue on a fortnightly basis. For more about Claudette Johnson, hear curator (and exhibition text-contributor!) Dorothy Price on And I Have My Own Business in This Skin (1982) at the Courtauld Gallery in London. Listen to Lubaina Himid on Lost Threads (2021, 2023) at the Holburne Museum in Bath. Hear curator Isabella Maidment on Hurvin Anderson's Barbershop series (2006-2023) at the Hepworth Wakefield.

Ep.179 features Basil Kincaid (b. 1986, St. Louis, Missouri) an American artist who honors and evolves traditional practices through quilting, collaging, photography, installation and performance. Implementing materials vested with emotional and memorial content, Kincaid allows these mediums to function as spiritual technology that forward various wisdoms born from Kincaid's greatest values: family, imagination, rest, and experience. Kincaid studied drawing and painting at Colorado College, graduating in 2010. Kincaid has exhibited works with Hauser & Wirth, Mindy Solomon, Kravets Wehby, Kavi Gupta, Carl Kostyal and others. In 2019, Kincaid debuted a first museum performance, “The Release,” at the Pulitzer Arts Foundation in St. Louis MO. In 2020 Kincaid received the Regional Arts Commission Fellowship. In 2021, Kincaid became a United States Artist Fellow and joined the Collection of the Smithsonian American Art Museum. In 2022, Kincaid exhibited new quilt works in both the Legacy Russell-curated show, “The New Bend” at Hauser & Wirth's New York and Los Angeles locations, and the Ekow Eshun-curated exhibition, “New African Portraiture” at the Kunsthalle Krems in Austria. Kincaid also produced a ceremonial installation at Laumeier Sculpture Park in St. Louis, wrapping a Manuel Neri figure in a quilt entitled “Take Me Home” just days after Neri's passing. Kincaid opened 2023 with “Dancing the Wind Walk”, a semi-permanent fabric monument during Frieze LA, with support from the Art Production Fund; before the end of the year, he will reveal a new quilt as part of “The Threads We Follow” at SECCA, North Carolina Museum of Art, and will have a solo exhibition, “Spirit in the Gift”, at the Rubell Museum, where he was the 2023 Artist in Residence. Basil Kincaid has been awarded the Great Rivers Biennial Prize and will have a solo exhibition at the Contemporary Art Museum St. Louis in Fall 2024.

This week marks the 30th anniversary of the release of Jurassic Park, a movie that both plays with history and made history. Like Jaws and Star Wars before it, Jurassic Park changed what we thought was possible in movie theaters while commenting on our fascination with the pre-human past. I asked Dr. Elizabeth Jones, author of Ancient DNA: The Making of a Celebrity Science (on sale from Amazon right now) to come on the show to talk about how Jurassic Park changed the science of paleontology and just why that velociraptor scene in the kitchen is so damn good.About our guest:Dr. Elizabeth Jones holds a PhD in Science & Technology Studies from University College London, a MA in History & Philosophy of Science from Florida State University, and a BA in History & Philosophy from North Carolina State University. Currently, she works at the North Carolina Museum and Natural Sciences and North Carolina State University as the Coordinator for Cretaceous Creatures, a public science project that engages 8th grade science teachers and students across the state in making their own microfossil discoveries.Show notes:https://www.newsweek.com/new-dinosaur-utah-moros-intrepidus-tyrannosaurus-rex-1338776https://www.smithsonianmag.com/science-nature/back-brontosaurus-dinosaur-just-might-deserve-its-own-genus-species-science-180954892/www.cretaceouscreatures.orghttps://colossal.com/george-church-the-future-without-limit/

Episode 119 Today, we are joined by paleontologist, Dr. Mary Schweitzer. She is professor in the department of biological sciences at North Carolina State University. She is also a research curator for paleontology at the North Carolina Museum of Natural Sciences. Her research interests include molecular paleontology, specifically the preservation and detection of original molecular fragments in well preserved fossil specimens. In 2005 she and her team shook the paleontology community when they reported finding soft tissue preserved in a 68-million-year-old T-Rex femur. Since that initial find, her team has unearthed mounting evidence that soft tissues, such as blood vessels, collagen and other proteins, can survive more than 66 million years of degradation. Fun fact, on one of her fossil hunts she spent three days in the field walking around on a broken leg because she didn't want to miss out on anything.   Support this podcast on Patreon at https://www.patreon.com/DowntheWormholepodcast   More information at https://www.downthewormhole.com/   produced by Zack Jackson music by Zack Jackson and Barton Willis 

This week, Will is joined by Brian O'Shea, the Ornithology Collections Manager for the North Carolina Museum of Natural Sciences and Emily Callicutt, Senior Land Protection Specialist for Three Rivers Land Trust. Their conversation dives into detail on the unusual nesting space chosen by a population of black-throated green warblers, biodiversity of the Guiana Shield and being rescued from the wilderness during a field study gone wrong.This podcast is brought to you by Montgomery Community College and Backcountry & Beyond.Want to join TRLT on the show?

The Fifth Iteration “Flaws in the system will not become severe” (p. 269). The Text: This week's text is Search, spanning from pages 271 – 276. Synopsis: Gennaro and Muldoon investigate the site of the hadrosaur stampede when Arnold radios them, saying that he's found Nedry's stolen Jeep! Meanwhile, Grant awakens in the raft flowing down the river to Lex and Tim quarrelling about their dad, while microceratopses bounce in the branches above them. When Muldoon and Gennaro reach the second Jeep, they find Nedry's corpse and don't bother “collecting him,” but do prioritize the weaponry, before returning to the site of the stampede. But there's no sign of the Big Rex, so they have to wait for her to reappear. Meanwhile, Grant and the kids flow up to the Aviary, and they climb out of the raft in search of a telephone or motion sensors. Discussions surround: Timeline, Contrivances in Plot, Park Management, Island Layout and Poetic Justice. Corrections: I totally didn't go to Raleigh, North Carolina on a road trip to see A Perfect Circle - I almost certainly went to Columbus, Ohio. My mistake!
