This episode, we're stepping back to the golden age of natural history podcasting by resurrecting the format of the classic show Wild Ideas: The Podcast. Joining us on the trail is one of the OG hosts: the man himself, Gordon Maupin. It's a 3-way team-up where each of us brings a heavy-hitting seasonal mystery to the table.First, Steve unravels the rule-breaking world of the Ambystoma polyploid salamander complex, where unisexual lineages are mixing up DNA from different species and blurring the lines of what makes a species a species. Then, Gordon shrinks things down to look at the world of duckweed ecology, a group that includes the smallest flowering plants in the world. Finally, Bill turns our eyes to the skies over the marsh to pull back the curtain on dragonfly migration, looking into the recent science that shows some dragonfly species are multi-generational continental travelers (as well as badass predators).Come listen in as Gordon and the guys answer the question, “What's going on outside?” (Wild Ideas fans, that's for you)This episode was reecorded at the Iroquois National Wildlife Refuge in Alabama, NY on May 13, 2026.Episode LinksCheck out the Iroquois National Wildlife Refige and their Bald Eagle Cam.Here's the New York Times article about 7 Podcasts About the Joys of Bird Watching that includes a mention of our show.Episode NotesGetting The Great Egret's Latin Name RightDuring a quick aside this episode, Gordon spotted a Great Egret and Steve tried to recall its scientific name, tentatively going with Erodea alba. He wasn't entirely wrong! The correct name is Ardea alba.While alba means "white," Ardea is Latin for "heron." It also ties back to the ancient myth by everyone's favorite Roman poet Ovid, who wrote about a bird rising directly from the ashes of the burned city of Ardea. What's the Deal With Axolotls?We wondered if the axolotl is in the same genus as the Jefferson and blue spotted salamander (Ambystoma) and yes they are!Species: A. mexicanum (Axolotl) Unlike most members of Ambystomatidae—which typically metamorphose into terrestrial adults—the axolotl exhibits a trait called neoteny (or paedomorphosis). This is where an organism retains juvenile or larval traits into adulthood. Axolotls retains its aquatic, larval features (like its signature feathery external gills) into adulthood and spends its entire life in the water Bill's Hard Claim on ID'ing Jefferson Salamanders Bill said there is no way we could tell if it was a Jefferson salamander: is that true? Bill was basically right if we're talking about visually confirming a female-looking salamander in a blue-spotted/Jefferson overlap zone. Many unisexual individuals cannot be confidently identified by sight, and genetic testing is the clean answer. But during the breeding season, a male with a swollen cloaca is not part of the all-female unisexual lineage, so that can help narrow things down. So, a male in breeding condition can sometimes be identified much more confidently than a female/unisexual-looking animal, but you need to have serious knowledge about species location, morphology, and breeding-season characteristics. The Jefferson Complex vs. the Bigger Unisexual Salamander SituationDuring the episode, Bill had a “wait, what are we even talking about?” moment while Steve was explaining the huge all-female/unisexual Ambystoma salamander lineage.Steve was talking about the big-picture version: a bizarre evolutionary group that can involve genomes from several mole salamander species, including Blue-spotted, Jefferson, Small-mouthed, Streamside, and Tiger Salamanders.Bill, though, was thinking what we hear more about in the Northeast and Great Lakes region: the “Jefferson complex,” or the Blue-spotted/Jefferson Salamander mess. Around here, that usually means you can't usually ID a Jefferson Salamanders or a Blue-spotted Salamander down to species because the sally in front of you may belong to the all-female, polyploid lineage that can't be confidently sorted out just by looking at them.So Bill's question was basically: “Hold on. Is this identification nightmare only a Jefferson/Blue-spotted thing, or does it happen with the other species too?”And the answer is: yep. It can happen with the others too.The narrower Jefferson complex usually refers to the Blue-spotted/Jefferson part of the story, especially in places where those are the main overlapping species. But when scientists zoom out and include the other players (Small-mouthed, Streamside, and Eastern Tiger Salamanders) they usually refer to the whole thing as the unisexual Ambystoma lineage.So the practical field takeaway is this: in places where these species overlap, a female-looking Ambystoma salamander may be impossible to identify with confidence by appearance alone. Even experts may only be making an educated guess unless they use genetic testing. Measuring red blood cell size can help estimate ploidy (basically, whether the animal has extra chromosome sets) but DNA testing is the real way to know which genomes are actually in there. Is Duckweed the Smallest Flowering Plant? Yes, but specifically a microscopic type of it. The world's smallest flowering plants belong to the genus Wolffia - Often referred to as "rootless duckweed" or "watermeal," they are the tiniest members of the duckweed family (Lemnaceae) Individual Wolffia plants are usually less than 1 mm long, roughly the size of a pinhead or cornmeal, and the flowers are correspondingly microscopic.Unlike standard duckweed (Lemna), Wolffia plants do not have roots and appear simply as tiny floating green spheres or oval seeds.The plant produces the world's smallest flower, which forms in a tiny depression on the plant's top surface.Because they are so small and have highly efficient asexual budding, they can easily cover a pond in dense mats before you ever notice an individual plant. Can be found across temperate and tropical regions of North, Central, and South America Correction: Ed Yong's An Immense World (UV, not Infrared)During the episode, Bill mentioned Ed Yong's phenomenal book, An Immense World, and noted that researchers are increasingly discovering how many animals can see in the infrared spectrum. His memory slipped slightly on this one! Yong actually discusses the growing scientific realization that many animals see in the ultraviolet (UV) spectrum, not infrared. (Though as you'll see below, dragonflies do have a few tricks up their sleeves on the other end of the spectrum). Gordon's Question: Infrared Vision & Dragonfly MatingBill's misremembering of what was in An Immense World was prompted by Gordon asking a fantastic question during the recording: Can dragonflies see in the infrared spectrum, and if they can, are they using it to navigate during migration?First, a quick clarification: when most of us hear “infrared,” we immediately picture thermal imaging — animals glowing in the dark, Predator vision, that whole thing. That is not what we're talking about here. Dragonflies do not appear to see heat signatures.What they may be able to see is near-infrared — light just beyond the deepest red wavelengths visible to humans. Near-infrared is not heat vision. It is more like an invisible extension of red.According to a recent study published in January 2026 by researchers in Osaka, Japan, some dragonfly species have visual pigments that are sensitive to extremely long red wavelengths, possibly reaching into the near-infrared edge of the spectrum. That alone is pretty wild. But the discovery also highlights a striking example of parallel evolution between insects and primates. Millions of years ago, the ancestors of humans and other primates evolved molecular changes that helped produce red-sensitive vision. This new research suggests that some dragonflies may have independently evolved a similar molecular tuning mechanism for detecting red light. However, while primate red vision operates within the visible spectrum, some dragonflies appear to have pushed that sensitivity even farther, toward the boundary between deep red and near-infrared.So what are they doing with this ability? Probably not navigating migration, at least as far as we know.The better-supported idea is that this long-wavelength vision helps dragonflies identify mates quickly in flight. Male and female dragonflies can reflect red and near-infrared light differently, especially against green vegetation. So for an animal making split-second decisions while zipping around at high speed, that extra visual contrast could be a big deal. So to answer Gordon's question, dragonflies may be seeing farther into the red/near-infrared edge of the spectrum than we can, but based on what researchers currently know, they're probably using that ability for rapid sex recognition, not long-distance navigation. It's more of a high-speed dragonfly dating filter than infrared GPS.The Missing Piece: Visual Cues and "Leading Lines" in MigrationOne big element Bill neglected to mention in covering how dragonfies navigate during migration is the VISUAL piece – that they also use what they're seeing! That is a crucial piece of the puzzle. Dragonflies are also extremely visual animals. Those huge compound eyes are not just for decoration. So, what they're seeing is likely a key piece in their migration toolbox. Migrating dragonflies are often observed moving along major landscape features: coastlines, mountain ridges, river valleys, and other long, continuous edges. Biologists sometimes refer to these kinds of features as leading lines, because they can help guide or funnel migrating animals across the landscape.That doesn't mean a dragonfly is looking down and thinking, “Ah yes, the Susquehanna River. I'll take this south.” But these landscape features can still matter in several ways.Coastlines can keep migrants from drifting too far over open water, which is risky for an insect that eventually needs to land, rest, and feed.Mountain ridges and long hillsides can create useful air currents and updrafts, allowing dragonflies to ride favorable winds and conserve energy.River corridors can provide both a visual pathway and good stopover habitat, with water, vegetation, and plenty of small flying insects to eat when they need to refuel.The overall migration story for dragonflies probably isn't “dragonflies have one magic compass.” It's more like they are combining a bunch of cues at once: the visual structure of the landscape below them, as well as the elements covered during the episode. Steve's Questions: Resident vs. Migratory Green Darners & The Thermal Genetic SwitchDuring the episode, Steve asked two really good questions about Common Green Darners: if some are migratory and some are resident, how do they know which group to mate with? And could temperature be the thing that nudges a young darner down one path or the other?The first answer is surprisingly simple: they probably don't know, and they probably don't care.For a long time, researchers assumed these groups were reproductively isolated, believing residents emerged and died before the migratory cohort reached adulthood, but modern research has overturned this idea. According to a comprehensive review by Michael L. May and John H. Matthews, adult flight periods absolutely overlap in mid-summer, and genetic testing reveals zero genetic differentiation between the groups. The entire continental population belongs to a single, randomly mating gene pool. So when a Common Green Darner is ready to mate, it is probably not checking whether the other darner is from the “resident” or “migratory” team. It is just mating with another mature Common Green Darner in the same airspace. Very romantic. Very dragonfly.Steve's second question gets at something even more interesting: what makes one generation migrate while another stays put?This is where temperature, day length, and seasonal timing seem to matter a lot. A Green Darner nymph developing in warm water during long summer days may be pushed toward faster development. That can produce adults that emerge, feed heavily, build up energy reserves, and migrate south in late summer or fall.But if nymphs are developing as temperatures drop and days get shorter, their development can slow down. Instead of rushing to become adults, they may overwinter as aquatic nymphs and emerge the following year. Those individuals can then become part of the resident breeding population in northern ponds.So Steve's instinct was basically right: environmental conditions appear to play a huge role in shaping whether a darner develops quickly and migrates, or slows down and overwinters.The only thing to be careful about is the phrase “genetic switch.” There probably are changes in gene expression involved. Temperature and day length can absolutely affect how insects develop, but in Common Green Darners, we should probably think of it less as a single switch being flipped and more as a whole developmental pathway being shaped by the environment.The short version: migratory and resident Green Darners are not separate species or rival dragonfly factions. They appear to be part of one big, mixed population whose life cycle can play out in different ways depending on timing, temperature, and local conditions.Sponsors and Ways to Support UsThank you to Always Wandering Art (Website and Etsy Shop) for providing the artwork for many of our episodes.Support us on Patreon.Works CitedHallworth, M.

The story of the terminal illness and death of Kimberly Acquaviva's wife Kathy is powerful, intense, real… and human. As a hospice social worker and LGBTQ+ community advocate, Kim knows what good end of life care looks like. During their experience with Kathy's end stage cervical cancer, the women discovered that none of the hospice agencies where they lived had LGBTQ - inclusive non-discrimination statements. Both Kathy and Kim were determined not to settle for anything less than the best care. They made the decision not to use hospice. In this interview, Kimberly shares the details of their experience, including their communication style, how they connected with friends and family on social media, and the way they made decisions that affected their 19-year old son. Kimberly and Kathy shaped Kathy's end of life experience in their own way. Quality of life for them meant autonomy, advocacy, and allowing their journey to create change in the hospice industry. They were teachers for the hospice industry, causing a ripple effect of change that expanded awareness of what inclusive care looks like. Kimberly chronicled the story of Kathy's illness and death in her book The Handbook of LGBTQIA-Inclusive Hospice and Palliative Care (October 2023). You can order your copy here.

Today we're joined by our very first guest, Marnie Hawson. She's an entrepreneur, a building photographer, and a good friend to both of us. Our conversation explores Marnie's career path and how she has integrated her passion for nature into her business. We hope this episode shows the huge difference we can make as business owners when we prioritise positive change. From Environmental Scientist to Visionary Photographer Like both of us, Marnie's career has taken a winding path. She worked in environmental science for some years before transitioning to photography. This move wasn't about leaving science, or even pursuing a creative field, rather Marnie wanted to work in the world of business. She leverages her business as a tool to advocate for environmental awareness and changes to sustainability.Sustainability in Practice A significant part of our conversation is around B Corps - businesses that meet stringent standards of social and environmental performance. Marnie was able to get her business certified B-Corp and she walks us through that rigorous process. She also talks about why it was important to her to focus on making a meaningful impact over just profitability.Becoming a B Corp isn't the only way to be sustainable in business. So, we discuss other ways businesses, regardless of size, can prioritise sustainability and make a meaningful impact. Marnie suggests practical steps like evaluating your supply chain and giving back to the community.Marnie then shares some of the projects her business has worked on, like their efforts to create a threatened species sanctuary. Currently, she has partnered with Odonata for a project aimed at integrating biodiversity projects with business operating models. Marnie isn't all talk, she's leveraging her business to make a real difference in the world, which is something we should all be aiming for. We hope this episode will inspire you to think about what you can do differently in your business. Striving for sustainability is hard work. You need commitment, collaboration, and a willingness to learn, but it's so so important. No one is going to be perfect, but if we all do our part we can make a better future, one photograph or one building at a time.LINKS:Connect with Marnie: Website: www.marniehawson.com.auInstagram: @marniehawsonConnect with Us: Sanctum Homes: www.yoursanctum.com.au/Carland Constructions: www.carlandconstructions.com/

Tara Jenkins, founder of Harmony in Dementia, is connecting patients and caregivers with meaningful music one song at a time.  As a Board Certified Music Therapist (MT-BC), Tara knows the power of music for reaching those patients dealing with Alzheimer's and dementia. She knows it takes a team of people to care for someone with dementia, working in harmony to provide quality of life.  That's where the name of her company, Harmony in Dementia, comes in.  Tara trains volunteers and caregivers to utilize music in care, and reap those benefits for patients.  She teaches that music experiences aren't universal for everyone, so being aware of the effects of music is very important. To get started with someone to provide music, Tara recommends asking the patient (person!) what they like.  Some people won't be able to answer, so Tara teaches how to look at the person's age, what music was popular during their younger years and what area they lived in.  A person's music collection (if you're caring for them in the home) might tell a lot about the music they enjoy.  Even seeing an album cover might connect with a memory.  Responses can range from tears to clapping or singing along.  It's important that caregivers be aware of those responses.  Music provides choice and expression for those who are dealing with issues related to dementia.  Music therapists can help make sense of a patient's response.  Find Harmony in Dementia at harmonyindementia.com.

Tonight we investigate a strange story about a radio listeners called Isaac who came forward with some wild information after a spate of sightings in the skies of America. What was especially unusual was the unique shape of the ‘Dragonfly' like ufos / drone type craft. He gives an insight into some of the ways the military works with the commercial sector as described by Philip Corso in the Day After Roswell; to reverse engineer extraterrestrial technology.

An End of Life Doula is a great source of support for someone as they die, and for families after the death has occurred. Anna Adams, End of Life Doula and founder of International Doula Life Movement believes everyone should have a doula. Through vigils, education, rituals, and compassionate presence, doulas help dispel the fear that can come during a death. When someone is dying, an End of Life Doula can offer individualized support that's a good fit for the patient and caregiver. While the dying process can be very similar for most people, each person's labor of dying is a unique set of processes and symptoms. Doulas teach families and caregivers what to expect when someone is dying, and how to provide care to ease symptoms that might be distressing. When a family or patient wants someone knowledgeable at the bedside, a doula might provide vigil care. A vigil involves the doula being present and watchful while the death is occurring. The doula's role doesn't stop there; there's additional grief support after the death has occurred. Want to know more about doulas, or connect with others who are doing death doula work?

An End of Life Doula is a great source of support for someone as they die,  and for families after the death has occurred.  Anna Adams, End of Life Doula and founder of International Doula Life Movement believes everyone should have a doula.  Through vigils, education, rituals, and compassionate presence, doulas help dispel the fear that can come during a death.  When someone is dying, an End of Life Doula can offer individualized support that's a good fit for the patient and caregiver.  While the dying process can be very similar for most people, each person's labor of dying is a unique set of processes and symptoms.  Doulas teach families and caregivers what to expect when someone is dying, and how to provide care to ease symptoms that might be distressing.  When a family or patient wants someone knowledgeable at the bedside, a doula might provide vigil care.  A vigil involves the doula being present and watchful while the death is occurring.  The doula's role doesn't stop there; there's additional grief support after the death has occurred.   Want to know more about doulas, or connect with others who are doing death doula work?  Visit internationaldoulalifemovement.com.  If you're interested in becoming a certified death doula through IDLM, click here.

End of Life Doulas are experts in managing advance care planning conversations.  EOL Doula Pam Carter of International Doula Life Movement knows how to get those discussions going.  As an EOL Doula, Pam works with people with serious illness and their families to determine their end of life wishes.  Choices are often made by weighing benefit vs burden.  That means considering questions like “What will I get out of this?  Is this what I want to do?”, “Is this something that contributes to my quality of life?”, or  “If I spend my time like this, what will it take from me?”, and “What will I have to give up for this (energy, time with family, peace, comfort, respiratory comfort, even money)?” Pam believes advance care planning should consider all aspects of how we live.  Further treatment for an existing illness should definitely be included.  Other things to talk about for your ACP is where you want to be cared for towards the end of your life, and who you'd like to take care of you.   Here are some other things that could be included in your Advance Care Plan: Having visits from a spiritual counselor (chaplain)  Including visitors or having privacy Returning to the hospital for accidents or injuries Treatment for infections How much information you want about your health status Who will be your healthcare decision maker (Medical Power of Attorney/Healthcare Proxy) Funeral/memorial service planning Tradition funeral care, embalming, green burial, or human composting Using medications that will cause drowsiness or avoiding sedation Body/organ donation (whole body donation, forensic anthropology donation) Back-up plan if body donation is disqualified Rituals or ceremonies  That's only the beginning of the many things that can be part of an advance care plan.  Those ACP conversations should happen early and often.  It's hard to imagine all the “what ifs”, but it's valuable to talk about different scenarios that seem possible for your life or situation.   Having an end of life or death doula to facilitate those ACP discussions can help!  Want to know more about doulas, or connect with others who are doing death doula work?  Visit internationaldoulalifemovement.com.  If you're interested in becoming a certified death doula through IDLM, click here.

Anna Adams, death doula and founder of International Doula Life Movement, is educating her community about how doulas support patients and families dealing with serious illness.  She's been a volunteer, a CNA, and now she's working with hospice agencies as a death doula.  Doulas bring a special set of skills to the care of hospice patients.  They support, educate, and guide patients (and caregivers) through the experiences at the end of life.  Doulas are also part of advance care planning conversations.   Exploring spiritual beliefs and rituals are part of doula work as well.  Doulas help those who are dying to identify what they believe and engage in those beliefs the way the patient wants.  In support of the family, doulas might also conduct rituals while someone is dying, or even after death.  Any support that's provided is guided by the patient or family.  Doulas are flexible in how they provide care.

Dr. Sammy Winemaker is starting a social healthcare revolution with The Waiting Room Revolution podcast.  On The Waiting Room Revolution podcast, Sammy is having insightful conversations about palliative care, advance care planning, and change-making for end-of-life care with co-host Dr. Hsien Seow.  Sammy is an Associate Clinical Professor, Department of Family Medicine, in the Division of Palliative Care at McMaster University. She teaches palliative care to healthcare professionals.  Here's what The Waiting Room Revolution website says about their mission:  They started the Waiting Room Revolution movement because they wanted to improve the patient and family illness experience.

Joanne Eason, President of Five Wishes, knows it's important to document our end of life wishes so our voices are heard when we can't speak for ourselves. Five Wishes was established over 25 years ago through a series of listening tours, asking people what was important to them. From those results, the Five Wishes document was formed with guidance from the American Bar Association and other palliative care providers across the U.S. It's designed for individuals to use when sitting down with their families, a tool for talking about what's important to the person. Five Wishes has incorporated three questions into their Five Wishes document: How comfortable do you want to be? How do you want to be treated? What do you want those around you to know about you? Those answers are the voice of the patient. Where health systems use certain forms to document decision-makers and specific medical directives, Five Wishes is about not just the wishes of the person, but who they are. It can be used like a workbook and comes in both digital and paper forms. The workbook is a living document and should be revisited as healthcare status changes or your spokesperson changes. Five Wishes can also be utilized by hospice agencies, healthcare organizations, and businesses. It's legal in almost every state in the U.S. so it's a very flexible document. If you live in one of only four states (New Hampshire, Kansas, Ohio, or Texas) you can still use the Five Wishes Paper but may need to take an extra step. Five Wishes is available in 30 languages, as well as Braille. Find out more about Five Wishes at fivewishes.org. Follow Five Wishes on Facebook, YouTube, IG, and Twitter.

Home funeral director Glenda Villegas guides families in creating meaning with home funerals.  After learning valuable lessons about what it's like to plan a funeral for the unexpected loss of a loved one, Glenda started a career working in the funeral industry.  She first worked in pre-need cemetery sales, then moved on to family services where she learned how to serve families at death. During these years, Glenda learned the funeral industry inside and out.  She realized her path led to providing home funerals for families after a death. Her desire to serve families through education about laws related to death care, combined with the option of a home funeral experience, led her to become a licensed funeral director.  Today Glenda teaches families how to care for their dead, helping to facilitate the grief process by creating meaning with home funerals.

The name Sociavi comes from the Latin word “share” and “unite”, demonstrating their mission of keeping seniors and their families closer together despite cognitive decline. Founder Paula Muller realized the need to keep her mother connected with all the activities of her family living internationally.  That need planted the seed for the Sociavi device.  Certified in Alzheimer's and Dementia Care, Paula used her knowledge of cognitive decline to design the features of the Sociavi device.  She refers to it as a “picture frame”, avoiding a technology label that might be intimidating to users.   The Sociavi device fosters a feeling of accomplishment as well as keeping the user connected with family and friends.  Through simple games and activities, the user has choices that are customized to someone who needs simplicity.  It's super easy to start using the device, no password or login required.  Paula ensured the Sociavi device responds easily to touch and accommodates for hearing loss.  The screens are clear, with only one activity displayed at one time.  Photos and video calls are a wonderful additional feature.  To place a video call, the user simply has to touch the photograph of whomever they want to call.   The network is private and encrypted, so spam and robo calls are eliminated.  Paula's in-laws consider a video call a “visit” from a family member.   Users with cognitive decline can utilize many of the functions and games of the device.  If the user is nonverbal, Sociavi features a communication board with icons that can be utilized to communicate needs and thoughts. There are also alarms that serve as reminders for medications or tasks, keeping the administrator of the device notified of whether their loved one has turned the alarm off.  The only things needed in the home for the Sociavi device are power and internet connectivity.  Simple set up, simple to use, Sociavi is a great device for any adult with cognitive decline, helping them to stay active mentally and connected with loved ones.

Creating opportunity. That's how our guest, winemaker Denis Hoey, has been living his life. He pursued a dream of making wine, and now that he's established his own winery, Odonata Wines in the Monterey County AVA, he's dedicated to bringing others along in the wine industry. The Marys visit Denis at his Salinas Valley winery - one of seven on the River Road Wine Trail - and we are blown away by his accomplishments and his drive. He makes about 32 different wines - whew! So there's a taste for everyone. If you love sparkling wine, Odonata is the place to go. Denis loves bubbles, and he makes some fun bottlings, including some sparkling reds! Join us and be inspired by this passionate winemaker who's paying it forward.

Dragonflies are some of the fastest flying insects in the world. With 360-degree vision, they can eat hundreds of insects per day, including those pesky mosquitoes and other biting insects. Their adaptations for flying are unique among insects and so precise that humans can only dream of being able to someday make machines that fly as well as dragonflies.Dragonflies are similar in structure to an ancient group of insects informally called Griffinflies, which contains some of the largest flying insects to ever live. These dragonfly-like insects had a wing span of 2.5 feet, or 30 inches. That's bigger than a house cat. How did these bugs get so big, and why are they no longer around? That's a question we're still trying to answer. Dragonflies have some unique adaptations to ensure they mate with the correct species, including remarkable variations in the male sex organ, and even a secondary sex organ.  Males can be aggressive while mating, which has led to some females living in a totally different habitat than males. In some cases, females mimic males or pretend to be dead to avoid males. Listen now as we talk about dragonfliesFollow us on Twitter @betterthanhuma1on Facebook @betterthanhumanpodcaston Instagram @betterthanhumanpodcasthttps://www.tiktok.com/@betterthanhumanpodcastor Email us at betterthanhumanpodcast@gmail.comWe look forward to hearing from you, and we look forward to you joining our cult of weirdness!The Enthusiasm ProjectDeep dives exploring the world of what it means to be an independent creator.Listen on: Apple Podcasts Spotify

A dragonfly is a flying insect belonging to the order Odonata, infraorder Anisoptera. Adult dragonflies are characterized by a pair of large, multifaceted compound eyes, two pairs of strong, transparent wings, sometimes with coloured patches, and an elongated body. Dragonflies can be mistaken for the closely related damselflies, which make up the other odonatan infraorder (Zygoptera) and are similar in body plan though usually lighter in build; however, the wings of most dragonflies are held flat and away from the body, while damselflies hold their wings folded at rest, along or above the abdomen.Aphylla williamsoni, known generally as the "two-striped forceptail", is a species of clubtails in the family Gomphidae. It is found in North America.

After their amazing experience during spring term of 2022, Dr. Seth Bybee and four students, Eva Jasinski, Rachel Sutherland, Lily Gregson, and Cordon Wade discuss their study abroad in Vietnam. Students worked with either Dr. Bybee on team Odonata (dragonflies and damselflies) or Dr. Gareth Powell on team beetle (Coleoptera).

In this week's episode, podcaster-in-residence Zoë Comyns delves into the life of Cynthia Longfield and spends time with writer Amanda Bell in her Mayo garden. Cynthia Longfield (1896–1991) was an entomologist, specialising in dragonflies (Odonata). She was part of the St George Expedition that sailed to the Pacific in 1924. Her collection of memorabilia from the 1924 St George expedition is held by the Academy Library, and includes personal diaries, news-cuttings, albums of photographs and her killing jar used for collecting insect samples. She subsequently went on a variety of other research expeditions in Asia, Africa, Canada and South America. Cynthia Longfield worked in the British Museum as an unpaid associate for over 30 years. She was the Museum's Odonata expert. She retired to her family's Cloyne in 1956. In 1979 she donated her library (books, notes and ephemera) to the Royal Irish Academy. The collection is known as the ‘Longfield-Roberts' collection. In this episode Zoë invites poet and writer Amanda Bell to explore some themes around Cynthia Longfield's life and research – Amanda has written for the podcast about collecting, iridescence and poison – Zoë visits her in her Mayo garden to chat about tending the site and her understanding of nature and how it influences her writing life. Amanda Bell's most recent collection is Riptide (Doire Press). Riptide explores the zeitgeist using the art of Edvard Munch as a counterpoint, delving into the ecological and spiritual anguish informing his paintings, finding parallels in the world we live in today. Amanda's awards include: Arts Council of Ireland Literature Bursary 2020; Harold's Cross inaugural Writer in Residence; Poetry Ireland Introductions Series 2016; Winner of Allingham Prize and Merit Book Award; shortlisted for Irish Poem of the Year, Shine Strong Award, Touchstone Distinguished Books Award The readings in this episode are by Jennifer O'Dea.

Everyone’s lives are changing because of COVID-19 but for women that are pregnant, they have a higher risk of getting sick or having a problem with their pregnancy if they were to test positive for the virus. Luckily for them, Ann Holder and her team at Odonata are working hard to make sure they remain safe.3 Takeaways:Fetal monitoring is something that we are all still learning about but Ann and her team work every day to bring to the market new technology for non-invasive fetal monitoring.The US is lacking when it comes to the success and survival rate of C-Sections and it’s important for Ann and her company to work with doctors to make sure that we correct the mistakes that are being made to ensure the safety of women.Telehealth is not just taking over the doctor visit world for a cough or a runny nose, but women who are pregnant, even as much as 29 weeks are not actually seeing doctors in person and it’s problem, but how we have to find a way to make sure that the baby and mother are safe and healthy.Key Quotes:“I was talking to an OBGYN that was telling me that the number of non-stress tests for high-risk patients has gone down considerably but, the number of stillbirths has gone up considerably with COVID. So we had to make a pretty significant change in our strategy.”“I'm really happy with what I'm doing. It's been incredibly fulfilling and I talked to a lot of people that are really weighing the pros and cons of being an entrepreneur or a first-time CEO. My advice is just to have confidence in taking a risk, because quite honestly if you don't, you're always going to second guess yourself.”Bio:Ann Holder is a Medical Device Executive with a rich background in sales, marketing, finance, and operations.  Ann began her career in the US Army after graduating with a Bachelor of Science Degree in engineering from the United States Military Academy at West Point. In healthcare, Ann worked for Medtronic in a variety of roles in sales, finance, and business development and was an executive at a start-up. Most recently she has been helping companies commercialize in the U.S. while focused on developing fetal monitoring technology with the Mayo Clinic. Prior to Ann's career in healthcare, Ann worked in the consumer goods industry and in telecommunications for international companies in engineering and operations in the areas of manufacturing, supply chain, and logistics. Thanks to our friendsTruth Be Known is brought to you by Talend, a leader in data integration and data integrity, enabling every company to find clarity amidst the chaos.
