Rebecca Grossman, a 60-year-old Los Angeles socialite, and former magazine publisher, walked arm-in-arm with her plastic surgeon husband, Peter Grossman, to the Van Nuys West Courthouse for the commencement of her murder trial. Grossman is accused of killing two young brothers in a drunken hit-and-run, allegedly racing her reported lover, former MLB player Scott Erickson, at the time of the fatal crash. Rebecca Grossman faces up to 34 years behind bars on two counts of second-degree murder for the 2020 deaths of Jacob Iskander, 8, and Mark Iskander, 11.  The shocking incident occurred on September 29, 2020, when Rebecca, allegedly speeding at 71 mph, plowed into the two boys walking inside a crosswalk in Westlake Village. The collision launched Mark more than 250 feet, leading to his immediate death. Jacob passed away several hours later at the hospital. Witnesses reported that Grossman was racing with Scott Erickson, who was in another car at the time of the crash. The pair, reportedly in a relationship, had allegedly been drinking at a nearby restaurant prior to the collision. Prosecutors plan to present evidence that Rebecca had Valium in her system during the crash, further hindering her ability to drive. Despite maintaining innocence and blowing a 0.076%, Grossman faces charges of two counts of vehicular manslaughter with gross negligence and one count of hit-and-run driving resulting in death. The court is allowed to provide jurors with evidence of Grossman's alleged love affair with Erickson at the time of the crash, as ruled by Los Angeles County Superior Court Judge Joseph Brandolino. Rebecca Grossman maintains her innocence, denying any involvement in the collision with the boys. However, Nancy Iskander, the grieving mother, contends that both Grossman and Erickson were driving at excessive speeds before the tragic incident occurred. Nancy, who narrowly avoided the collision with her younger son Zachary, expressed frustration that neither party stopped after the incident, making it difficult for her to determine which vehicle struck her sons. According to Nancy's account, she and Jacob were on inline skates, crossing the road at the crosswalk, while Mark was on his skateboard. Zachary, then five years old, was on his scooter, accompanied by her husband and daughter jogging nearby. Mark was declared dead at the scene, and Jacob succumbed to his injuries hours later at the hospital. The upcoming trial is expected to feature testimony from a California Highway Patrol officer who had previously pulled over Rebecca for speeding at 92 mph, warning her about the potential dangers. The court may also hear from Robert Apodaca, a former LA County Sheriff's Deputy specializing in traffic crashes. During the preliminary hearing, Apodaca estimated Rebecca's speed at 71.7 mph at the time of the collision, with the car's computer indicating 73 mph. He revealed that 11-year-old Mark was thrown 254 feet, the farthest he had witnessed a person being tossed in a crash. Another deputy, Rafael Mejia, testified that he found Rebecca a third of a mile away from the crash site, where she had pulled over and expressed confusion about why her airbag had deployed. Scott Erickson faced a misdemeanor charge, and his case was resolved in February 2022, with his attorney asserting his non-involvement in a hit-and-run. Rebecca Grossman has pleaded not guilty and is currently out on $2 million bond. Want to listen to ALL of our podcasts AD-FREE?

He is committed to providing natural, lasting, and beautiful results while understanding the risks and limitations of body contouring. Body Contouring Technologies Body contouring technologies have continually evolved, providing patients with numerous options to achieve their desired aesthetic outcomes. However, it is essential for individuals considering these procedures to be aware of the risks and limitations associated with these technologies. Some widely known technologies include CoolSculpting, BodyTight, and Renuvion, each with its own set of pros and cons. As a patient, it is crucial to research the different technologies and have a thorough consultation with a trusted practitioner to determine which option best fits their needs and preferences. Dr. Joubin Gabbay highlights some of the complications that may arise from popular contouring methods such as CoolSculpting, including nerve damage and adipose hyperplasia. Furthermore, Dr. Gabbay discusses the emergence of newer skin-tightening technologies like BodyTite and Renuvion. While these procedures show promise, their effectiveness can be variable and often require patience from the patient for visible results. The conversation underscores the importance of staying up-to-date with advancements in body contouring technologies and understanding their risks and limitations before undergoing any procedure. Social Media and Plastic Surgery Social media has become an integral part of the plastic surgery industry, allowing practitioners to showcase their work, engage with potential patients, and share information about various procedures. However, social media can also create a culture of competition and ego among practitioners, which may lead to a focus on followers rather than professional skill and patient care. Throughout the podcast, Dr. Gabbay emphasizes the importance of authenticity and integrity in the age of social media. He shares his experience with using social media platforms like Instagram to connect with patients and share insights into his practice while staying true to himself. Dr. Gabbay encourages other practitioners to be genuine in their online presence and let clients decide if they are the right fit for them.

Breast Implants and Aesthetics Breast implants and aesthetics have long been an area of interest for those seeking cosmetic surgery. Trends and preferences in breast size and appearance have shifted over time, and it is essential for individuals considering this procedure to understand the physical and aesthetic implications of breast augmentation. Oversized implants can result in stretched skin, thinned breast tissue, and a condition called implant cripple, leaving the patient with an undesirable outcome if the implant is removed. During the discussion, Dr. Gabbay emphasizes a preference for modest, natural-looking augmentations in both aesthetics and physical aspects. He and Dr. Peter Grossman discuss how social media has shaped patient preferences and created specialized communities around different aesthetics. While they observe a decrease in requests for large implants, they acknowledge that there are still communities that support this look. The episode highlights the need for informed decision-making and realistic expectations for patients considering breast implant procedures. About the Host, Dr. Peter Grossman  

Are you tired of feeling pressure to conform to society's beauty standards? Have you been told to just accept your body as it is, but still feel unhappy with your appearance? It's time to take a deeper dive into the complex world of female self-image and the impact of labiaplasty.  This episode will empower young women to understand the psychological factors influencing their perception of their own vulva region and embrace a more holistic approach to self-evaluation. Join us as we explore the changing dynamics of beauty ideals and the critical role of empathy and communication in discussing sensitive topics. In this episode of Beauty and the BS with Dr. Peter Grossman, you will be able to: Investigate the influences of labiaplasty and societal expectations on a woman's self-image. * Learn about the mental components that play a role in how women view their vulva region. * Embrace a well-rounded perspective on analyzing the vulva region that goes beyond the surface. * Observe the evolving trends in women's perceptions of their own appearance and beauty ideals. * Recognize the critical role of empathy and effective communication in discussing delicate topics. This week's guests are Dr. Christine Hamori and Associate Professor at Monash University, Dr. Gemma Sharp. Dr. Christine Hamori is a board-certified plastic surgeon specializing in facial plastic surgery and body contouring surgery in the Boston area. She is also a leader in the area of vaginal rejuvenation and labiaplasty. Professor Sharp is a top researcher in body image and eating disorders, with an impressive academic background spanning multiple disciplines. At Monash University, she leads a research group focused on female genital self-image and cosmetic surgery. With numerous accolades to her name, Professor Sharp is committed to breaking down social taboos and promoting body positivity. The resources mentioned in this episode are: If you are considering genital modification, do your research and choose a reputable surgeon. * Seek out a multidisciplinary team, including mental health professionals, to ensure you are making an informed decision. * Consider the functional aspects of genital modification, such as reducing discomfort during physical activity or intercourse. * Be realistic about your expectations and understand that surgery may not solve all of your concerns. * Embrace diversity in genital appearance and challenge the societal ideal of what is considered normal. * If you are experiencing body dysmorphic disorder or other psychological concerns, seek professional help before considering surgery. * Be mindful of the language used when discussing genital modification, using accurate terminology like vulvar restoration instead of vaginal beautification. * Consider non-surgical options for vaginal rejuvenation, such as laser or radiofrequency treatments. * Practice good genital hygiene and avoid harsh soaps or chemicals that may cause irritation. * Embrace your body Addressing Sexual Education Proper sexual education plays a crucial role in shaping young people's self-image and understanding of their bodies. Parents need to have ongoing conversations with their children about their bodies, instilling the idea that there is a wide variety of normal when it comes to genital appearance. By doing so, they can counteract the influence of unrealistic portrayals in social media and pornography. Dr. Stone recommends that parents maintain an open dialogue with their children and act as their first educators, rather than relying on outside sources to impart information. Dr. Hamori echoes these sentiments, emphasizing that there is no cookie-cutter normal when it comes to genital appearance and that everyone's anatomy is different. Both experts believe that fostering such understanding and openness helps promote better self-image and a healthier approach to one's own body. Navigating Social Media and Self-Image Social media's influence on self-image and body perception cannot be understated. The portrayal of beauty standards across various platforms can increase the pressure on women to look a certain way, even from a young age. Navigating these influences and promoting healthier attitudes toward body image is crucial in combating unrealistic expectations. Professor Gemma Stone highlights the role of social media in shaping perceptions of beauty, pointing out the acceleration of aesthetic development that contrasts with slower mental development. In promoting positive body image and self-confidence, Dr. Stone mentions her work with young girls and educating them about genital diversity. Both she and Dr. Hamori stress the importance of addressing societal taboos and showcasing the diversity of normal genital appearances to help those considering such procedures make informed decisions. Societal Pressures Societal pressure can significantly influence people's decisions to undergo cosmetic procedures, including labiaplasty. With increasing exposure to social media and various beauty ideals, there is a risk of young women feeling pressured to look a certain way. From grooming trends to popular clothing styles, this pressure makes female genitalia more visible, further adding to the perceived need for procedures like labiaplasty. During the conversation, Professor Gemma Stone comments on the pressure that exists due to societal norms, especially for women, and how it accelerates aesthetic development. Dr. Hamori supports this notion, stating that many of her patients are either young women who have thought about labiaplasty since adolescence or perimenopausal women reentering the dating scene. Both guests concur that media portrayals and societal expectations have a significant impact on women's self-image.

The Future of Stem Cell Therapy in Aesthetics Stem cell therapy in aesthetics remains a promising avenue of research, frequently touted as a "miracle" solution for rejuvenation and regeneration. While stem cells have been used effectively in some contexts, such as softening scarring in breast reconstruction, the practicality of their use for facelifts or breast lifts lacks substantial scientific evidence. Dr. Samuel Lin expressed a cautious attitude toward the hype surrounding stem cell therapy in aesthetics. He expressed that stem cells present within fat cells hold potential in some areas of research, but their application for rejuvenation-related treatments remains unconvincing. His perspective underlines the importance of critically examining new treatment options and ensuring that innovation is grounded in reliable evidence. grounded in reliable evidence. Non-Surgical Rhinoplasty Using Fillers Non-surgical rhinoplasty using fillers is a popular trend among patients looking to improve the aesthetics of their nose without undergoing surgery. This minimally invasive approach may provide a temporary solution for certain cosmetic concerns, but it is essential to recognize that it cannot replace traditional rhinoplasty for more complex or functional issues. Dr. Lin mentioned that he primarily relies on dermatology colleagues who specialize in using fillers for non-surgical rhinoplasty, emphasizing the importance of a deep understanding of the procedure to avoid complications. Furthermore, he acknowledged the need for an open-minded approach with new techniques but prioritized safety and being well-informed.

As a pioneer in penile enhancement procedures, Dr. Zimmerman has become a viral sensation on social media, known as the "Dick Doc" on TikTok. Bringing his expertise and passion for helping men improve their confidence, Dr. Zimmerman is ready to share his knowledge with our audience.

Focus on building character, personality, and treating others well. Techniques for Penile Augmentation In addition to fillers, other techniques for penile augmentation include fat grafting and silicone implants. Fat grafting involves the transfer of fat from other areas of the body to the penis for a more considerable increase in girth. However, this method can be unpredictable and may not always see high retention rates. Silicone implants, on the other hand, can provide a more significant enhancement in both girth and length but can potentially feel like a foreign body. Dr. Zimmerman, during his conversation with Dr. Grossman, discussed the various augmentation options and weighed the pros and cons of each method. He mentioned that silicone implants required precise surgical placement and emphasized the need for experienced surgeons when performing these techniques. Ultimately, the suitable augmentation method for an individual will depend on their personal goals and preferences. Dr. Zimmerman encourages patients to work closely with their practitioner, who can provide tailored guidance and advice for achieving the desired outcome. Correcting Curvature While fillers can have a cosmetic impact on a curved penis, they are not capable of correcting the underlying plaque or curvature. Instead, Dr. Zimmerman advises that other treatments should be considered for addressing these issues. Some of the suggested treatments include Ziflex, acoustic wave therapy, or vacuum therapy – which can work together in helping alleviate plaque and condensations. During the podcast with Dr. Peter Grossman, Dr. Ed Zimmerman shared valuable insights on various techniques for addressing penile curvature. He explained that although fillers provide temporary visual improvement, addressing the root cause of curvature is crucial. Only then could more long-lasting and effective results be expected. By thoroughly evaluating a patient's condition and understanding their unique needs, Dr. Zimmerman and other skilled practitioners can determine the most appropriate course of treatment and enhance overall satisfaction.

Are you tired of trying the same ineffective methods to increase your NAD levels and not seeing results? Discover how the latest longevity research and nicotinamide riboside supplementation can help you achieve better health outcomes and unlock a whole new level of healthspan in this episode! In this episode of Beauty and the BS with Dr. Peter Grossman, you will be able to: Discover cutting-edge longevity research and the significance of NAD coenzymes in metabolism. Explore the potential benefits of nicotinamide riboside (NR) supplementation for healthspan promotion. Uncover the anti-inflammatory properties of NR and its possible protective effects against COVID- Demystify common myths surrounding growth hormones and anti-aging drugs. Investigate the longevity industry leaders and learn how to distinguish evidence-based practices. My special guest is Dr. Charles Brenner As the Alfred E. Mann Chair of the Department of Diabetes and Cancer Metabolism at the City of Hope, Dr. Charles Brenner is a leading authority on metabolism and its role in aging. He is particularly interested in the NAD coenzymes and their ability to support healthspan and resiliency. Dr. Brenner's pioneering work on nicotinamide riboside (NR) has led to the development of True Niagen, a safety-tested supplement aimed at boosting NAD levels in the body. With a commitment to advancing the understanding of how metabolism impacts longevity, Dr. Brenner is dedicated to promoting health and well-being through targeted NAD support. The resources mentioned in this episode are: Learn more about Dr. Charles Brenner and his research on NAD coenzymes and metabolism at the City of Hope in California. Consider taking True Niagen, a safety tested NR (nicotinamide riboside) supplement, to boost and support your NAD system for improved metabolic function and resiliency against age-related diseases and conditions. Avoid NMN supplements, as they may not have the same safety profile and efficacy as NR supplements. Follow a healthy lifestyle with a balanced diet, regular exercise, adequate sleep, and social engagement to promote longevity and overall well-being. Be cautious of anti-aging products and therapies, focusing instead on evidence-based approaches to promote resiliency and protect against age-related diseases and conditions. Stay informed about ongoing clinical trials involving NR and its potential benefits in various health conditions, such as fatty liver, peripheral neurodegeneration, mild cognitive impairment, and Parkinson's disease. Discuss with your healthcare provider before starting any new supplement or therapy, including NR, to ensure it is appropriate for your individual health needs and goals. Anti-Inflammatory Properties Inflammation plays a significant role in overall health and is a contributing factor to many chronic diseases. Reducing inflammation is important for maintaining optimal health, and one potential avenue to achieve this is through boosting NAD levels within the body. Lower inflammation levels can contribute to better overall health, increased longevity, and improved quality of life. In the discussion between Dr. Peter Grossman and Dr. Charles Brenner, it is highlighted that NAD's anti-inflammatory properties make it an important target for health interventions. By supporting NAD systems and maintaining optimal levels, it may be possible to help the body reduce inflammatory markers, thus improving health outcomes and supporting an individual's metabolic functions. NR and Longevity Nicotinamide riboside (NR) is a chemical compound that can effectively boost NAD levels and has proven safety and efficacy in various studies. This increased accessibility to NAD makes NR an important player in ongoing research into longevity and overall health. By strengthening the body's NAD system, NR not only enhances energy metabolism but also supports DNA repair and gene expression regulation. Dr. Charles Brenner's work focuses on the safe and effective ways to support NAD systems, one of which is through NR supplementation. He emphasizes the importance of adopting healthy habits alongside NR supplementation, such as maintaining a balanced diet, regular exercise, and avoiding harmful habits like smoking. Following this approach enables individuals to enjoy better health and improved longevity. Longevity Longevity is an increasingly popular topic in health and wellness, with many people seeking ways to extend their lifespan and age healthily. Achieving a full, genetically-encoded lifespan is a realistic goal that is facilitated by adopting healthy habits and protecting against diseases and conditions that can target the body's metabolic systems. Longevity is a complex concept that requires promoting overall resiliency and prioritizing preventive measures rather than simply trying to delay the aging process itself. Dr. Charles Brenner suggests that focusing on factors like NAD levels, an essential molecule found in living cells, contributes significantly to the understanding and promotion of longevity. NAD, or nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide, serves as a critical component of various processes, such as energy metabolism, DNA repair, and gene expression. It is essential to understand that while there are numerous products in the market that claim to extend lifespan, research evidence should always guide our approach to ensuring longevity.

Saintsing:Hi, you're tuned into 90.7 FM. KALX Berkeley, I'm Andrew Saintsing. And this is the graduates, the interview talk show where we speak to UC Berkeley graduate students about their work here on campus and around the world. Today I'm joined by Kevin Roberts from the department of integrative biology, open to the show Kevin.Roberts:Thanks for having me.Saintsing:It's great to have you here, we were kind of like almost lab mates, honestly, even at that point. Yeah. We know each other's stuff pretty well. So I know that you're a, a, you're a book guy, right?Roberts:Yeah. Yeah. I would say, oh, you know, it sounds a little weird, but yeah, I guess it's fair to call myself a bug guy.Saintsing:Why is it sound weird?Roberts:I guess you sort of are a picture comes to mind where it's kind of like Spiderman, but slightly, maybe six legs instead and less webs. ButSaintsing:Yeah. I want to be like a weird bug guy. You're like a cool book guy.Roberts:That'd be like most bug guys would be pretty cool though. Cause yeah, bugs are cool.Saintsing:So you've always like insects.Roberts:Um, no, no. So I actually used to, uh, really like or dislike them and, well, no, I was neutral towards insects. I really disliked spiders and I still am lukewarm about spiders. Um, but I kinda got into them in college or like, I guess undergrad, we had to take an organismal biology class and it was in the peak recession times. So they like cut a lot of classes and they weren't, it wasn't a lot available. And my like advisor, counselor person, um, was the professor of the entomology class. And he was like, why don't you just take this? We could make it count for that. Um, and I had never considered it. I think I kind of wanted to work on like amphibians or something and I thought they were interesting and I took it and it, yeah, they're just crazy. They're just like little aliens. They breathe through holes in their body, like the side of their body and just do everything like turn into completely different forms.Roberts:Liquified their bodies fly. It says, yeah, it's all there. Cool.Saintsing:What did you study about bugs?Roberts:One of the other things I guess I should say that I find most interesting about insects really is how wide a range of environment they can tolerate. So like a lot of what I work on involves cold and one really cool thing that a lot of insects can do is tolerate, freezing and not die, which is, it's not like a unique to insect phenomenon, but there's like only a handful of vertebrates that can do that. And it just, yeah, it just seems so crazy to me. Cause like I grew up in California where like, you know, uh, 50 Fahrenheit seems cold and there's these beetles that are tolerating like zero.Saintsing:Just kind of like go into deep freeze and then just come back when it's they go like offline and then come back online when it warms back up. Yup.Roberts:Yeah. So I guess there's a few different approaches to kind of call that insects deal with. Well, like a big aspect of my research is mostly focused around seasonality. So there's these like seasonally prepared states that they can be in hibernation would be an example for mammals insects it's typically called dialogues or it could be quiescent. So basically they go into dormancy. So there's this long period of preparations. They can tolerate cold, but they're already inactive when they have the cold, like experienced the cold temperatures. So active insects can also, when they're exposed to cold, a lot of times they lose the ability to coordinate or I would like to still, I guess, maintain muscle function and they just kind of fall on their backs or like fall over and they just sit there and until they come back and its called "chill coma" and say are essentially in a coma from being cold.Saintsing:So there's a difference sometimes insects, all of a sudden, like if this were happening in a lab, they wouldn't really prep for being cold, but in the wild they kind of know seasonal cues. And so they kind of prepare for the cold. And is there a difference in that end experience for insects?Roberts:Yeah. Well, yeah. Yeah. So, I mean, I guess they can get a bit more complicated. So partially also what I work on is seasonal. Oh yeah. So I work on a winter, like how, what insects do in winter. And there is still acute cold exposures that can occur in winter. And I do partially work on that. Um, so there's still see seasonal preparedness and then cold that happens in that time that they deal with. And yeah, I guess the mechanisms are a little bit different just in terms of time that they have to maintain or a lot of what happens when they're in this chill coma, not seasonally induced cold is they lose like that. They're unable to maintain ion balances. So their nerves basically just don't function. So they can't like coordinate a lot of stuff and they just can't move, I'm really sure how you deal with that.Roberts:There's like subtle adjustments you can do to like fix your cellular membranes and stuff to prevent leakiness of the ions. But typically with the seasonal shifts that insects do, at least the ones that I work on, I'll speak specifically about the one I work on.Saintsing:What is that?Roberts:It is a Sierra Willow beetle. So it's just this little automobile that eats Willow in the Sierra Nevada as well. It is distributed across semester in the United States and yeah, it's, it's a high elevation in the Sierras and it just looks like a little lady bug, but reverse colors. Um, so this is black with red pattern a little bit. It's really cute for, for a bug, you know? And they, they don't really do anything particularly interesting in terms of what people normally think of. It's not like, um, pine beetles that are this large like pest, I guess they're just really interesting because they live in these really variable environment and the CRS because California is fairly drought, drought prone. So there's a lot of variation in snow that happens, which impacts like temperature and stuff like that too.Saintsing:And then, sorry, you were about a, what, uh, I'm gonna say in the context of your Willow beetles.Roberts:Yeah. So what these Beatles end up doing is they just put a bunch of like, oh they, so they specifically use glycerol, but basically they just pump a bunch of stuff into this open fluid that's floating around them to increase just how much stuff is in there. Cause that disrupts ice crystals from forming, or it controls the rate at which it does, but it disrupts it typically. And yeah, so they, they do that. I think there's a lot of equivalents of like frogs have a similar strategy. They can freeze, but they use sugar, they just put glucose all over themselves to prevent it. And some insects do that as well. But yeah, they pretty much just like decrease the water to stuff's ratio in their blood.Saintsing:So they just don't. So the ice doesn't kind of like, you know, like a situation at a soda can in the freezer, like the ice would kind of just pop their selves.Roberts:Yeah, yeah, exactly. Especially as on that scale, the ice crystals are like a lot more stabby kind of grow like little pyramids. Yeah. And so that's actually an interesting problem that I did mention earlier that some insects can freeze, um, and survive. But as to the ones that, that want to freeze and survive, don't want to suppress what temperature they cool or like what temperature they freeze that. So, um, if you get it too low by adding a bunch of these like Saul Utes and they're like glucose or glycerol, once the crystal formation starts, it like goes fast. So it like expands really rapidly. So typically what they try to do is initiate. And when I say they try and it's not like they're making the conscious decision, but they have this strategy of trying to initiate, freezing at higher temperatures so that they can control the rate of growth. So it doesn't like damage as much. Yeah. And that's, that's uh, my, the Beatles I work on do.Saintsing:Cool. So they're uh, the water in their cells is freezing above zero is what you're saying above zero degrees Celsius?Roberts:I think it's, it's typically the water outside of the cells person that it's freezing. I think it's, it's very problematic, problematic if it's inside the cell and it so usually like, I guess seawater has a lower freezing temperature than fresh water because there's a salt in there and stuff. Right. It's, it's a similar, I guess, phenomenon to what, what I was talking about inside the beetle. So just like most living organisms are going to have a freezing point below, I guess zero Celsius would be the freezing point of just water in a room. And the temperature you go below that is called your super cooling point. It's like the ability to cool below zero. And there's some insects that can, you know, uh, delay freezing until minus 20 Celsius. And then like beetles, I work on that, do control the ice freezing or dies crystal growth rate, uh, and survive, freezing do it about minus five degrees. And then they can tolerate down to minus 15 before they die. Yeah. So they're kind of like doing it. I say warmer temperatures, but it's still cold, relatively warm.Saintsing:And so these insects at some point, what, what kind of what's their life like? Are they like how much time did they actually spend as like active living things? I mean, you know, they're always living when they're alive, they're always living things, but you know, sort of life.Roberts:Yeah. So they live for one year, they have one full life cycle and then typically at least the Sierra populations that I work on spend about eight to nine months dormant. So two-thirds to three-quarters of their life, just, yeah. Dormant. There are a couple of populations of these beetles that live on the Mendocino and Sonoma coast. And I think they get a little bit more time because it's just less seasonal there. Well nicer or all year, but yeah, Sierras are pretty cold until they're not, you know, like usually June to like August or something, they're, they're pretty yeah. Trying to fit in, I guess, reproducing and growing and then preparing for winter. Yeah. It's pretty crazy. There's actually one, uh, there's a species of, oh, I'm probably gonna mess this up in some sort of caterpillar, like moth that lives in the Arctic. And I think the specific example I was reading about was in Greenland and it, it takes like seven years for it to become an adult. So it like molts and then spins winter and then comes like comes around again and then maybe molts again. Yeah. So it takes seven years to actually finally get there.Saintsing:And it's like for that caterpillar, I guess it would be like, it would have a time period of like a month or something. Just be a larva. It's a, I dunno know, is there fine grass to eat there?Roberts:Yeah. I mean there's like little shrubby things that they can eat. Yeah. Yeah. So they're probably living well, I guess if it is like a month of growing season, it's, uh, 11 and 12, so it kind of lives in dormant, you know? And then I, I mean most of the terrestrial habitat, well I guess most of the gestural habitat in the, world's not most a big portion of it is in the Northern hemisphere, a pretty high latitude too. I mean like Canada, Russia, these huge landmasses and they get really cold. So a lot of insects just have to deal with this. Um,Saintsing:It's just the reality for a lot of living things that you got to spend a lot of your life, not actually living it.Roberts:Yeah. Or I guess the other strategy of like being able to tolerate winter and what the insects I work on too, a lot of birds just kind of avoid winter and leave. And I guess there's a lot of insects that migrate as well. Right? Like this is just something we're kind of getting an idea of how much they do, but like monarchs are pretty classic example. Right. So you just have to either avoid it or tolerate it or not survive it.Saintsing:So you're, you're generally studying how these insects tolerate the winter. And so is there a kind of like a specific thing that you're studying in that? Like, is there a main question that you're interested in around how these insects are toleranting winter?Roberts:Yeah. Yeah. So I guess most of my dissertation work is really looking at the role that snow plays in how insects survive winter or what stresses they experience over winter, which I kind of alluded to a little bit, there's a lot of variability in snow, in the Sierras and these Beatles, that experience. But, um, yeah, so snow is a really good insulator that can buffer, I guess, everything, but let us know from the really cold air temperatures. So usually temperatures below snow don't really go below freezing much. Yeah, at least soil surface, if there's enough snow. So a lot of insects, a lot of organisms use this space to kind of survive winter, but there's increasing prevalence of drought and decreased winter snow cover in California, at least, or in the Sierras. So they're going to kind of be winters in the future may start to shift a little bit, less snowy and more cold. So as kind of climate or the world in general has increasing mean temperatures. There's actually an increasing cold that insects that rely on snow, but don't have it, but we're going to be experiencing. And there there's really cool paper, I think in 2003, that called it colder soils in a warmer world. Peter Grossman. That is, yeah. I think it's a really interesting like paradoxical thing, climate change. So yeah, I'm interested in like what that looks like across the mountain.Saintsing:So like, um, how it varies as you get higher up the mountain.Roberts:If you just think of a typical mountain or even like a cartoon caricature of a mountain, right. There's always snow at the peak. And then it goes away a little bit as you go down and temperature also changes across the elevation where highest elevations are cold. So kind of this like changing environment where there's increasing snow in colder temperatures as you go up. So the role that snow is going to play in kind of blocking the cold is going to depend on where you are on the mountain. So I'm trying to kind of tease apart what, what that means.Saintsing:So you've been going to the Sierras and kind of like checking out what's going on with these beetles.Roberts:Yeah. Yeah. So I work in the Eastern Sierra is right around Bishop between Bishop and Mammoth and there's populations of these beetles that have been monitored for a long time by, um, a couple of our collaborators, Nathan Rink and Elizabeth Doll Hoff. Yeah. So I have, I actually started working on this system around these beetles when I was in my undergrad since now, quite a while. And I actually started after I took that entomolgoy class that I mentioned earlier, like an yeah. Yeah. I mean, I, so yeah, I grew up in Fresno, which is like, you can see some mountains from it. Most days, you know, we would go up there sometimes like up to Yosemite when people come visit and stuff, but I'd never like gone back back in or gone in to the Eastern Sierra since I started working out there and it was, yeah, it was like experiencing it for the first time when I started doing that. So, uh, in a way it kind of was life changing. And then I guess the science part kind of was life changing as well. Yeah.Saintsing:Have you, uh, have you yourself, like experientially noticed changes in how much snow there's been out there over the time you've been going up to the Sierras?Roberts:Yeah, absolutely. Well, I guess the most obvious one, one or the most obvious change, I guess was 2012 to like 2000, maybe it's 2011 to 2014. There's like the biggest drought in California history. Um, that occurred in the time that I worked up there. So there's like this, this period of long minimal snow cover that occurred. And, um, I think one of the things that is most striking that it's noticed by going to these populations for a decade now is how many of them have just gone locally extinct. And like, there's, I remember my first year out working there, there's a site that we do a lot of like surveys where you just walk around counting needles for, for some time. And it was the first one that I ever, I think I counted like 310 minutes. And then, uh, this is 2009 was the first summer I worked out there and then 2020, there are no beetles at that site anymore. Like almost that entire mountain drainage is completely yeah. It's almost beetle free, which is, yeah. It's crazy to see change over. I mean, that's, that's a while, but like not really. So it has changed quite a bit since I started.Saintsing:Yeah. That's uh, you think, uh, that's step, or do you think that's a, um, kind of a product of like maybe short term variation to see so few beetles? Or do you think that's really like, I don't know, like, are they're not going to be those beetles there anymore?Roberts:Um, I think that this has happened before, maybe not to the same extent where, so they're, they're completely gone in that drainage except for one site, which I think they've constricted about the same amount before, um, in the late eighties, I believe, but, and they, they did come back. So I think as possible, but that's kind of relying on, I guess, something like a normal few normal years for them to be able to recover. And it doesn't seem, I mean, that's one of the biggest changes that have really been happening in the Sierra is, is that it just, it's extreme more often you see just extreme drought or extremely snowy ears. Yeah. So I think they could come back, but it's going to take a good few years of good weather, I guess. Yeah. Hopefully they come back.Saintsing:Okay. Well, so that's kind of a, a bummer, but, um, soRoberts:I'm going with that, but that's kind of why we try to study this stuff too. Right. If it's going to happen, you want to at least try to understand why it's happening so that you maybe, somebody can do something about it in the future or someplace else and yeah. Cause yeah, I mean, understanding what is happening is, is key and trying to help or mitigate it, I guess.Saintsing:So. Right. So then what are you doing to study it, to try to help or to help mitigate, um, what what's like actually doing, uh, experimental work to figure out more about this? Like, yeah. SoRoberts:It's a pretty wide range of stuff. Like part of like part of what I do is collect beetles and then get them to enjoy dormancy and then simulate winter by, or like overwintering for them by burying them. And I, I try to do this or I do this in 2.2 areas, one that keeps snow off of it. Um, so they can like, there's a group of beetles experiencing a no snow winter. And then it is a separate group that is just out in the open. So it gets ambient snowfall. So, um, yeah, part of it is burying beetles alive and then coming back and checking on them. And then I try to do some aspect of like, like you can't do everything in the field. It's just not, it's difficult to get out there, especially when there is no. Um, so I do a lot of like mimicking conditions and lab incubators and like do some that's where I do like cold tolerance acids, which is, um, basically take a beetle, put it in a tube and then put it into a bath of ethylene glycol, some liquid that doesn't freeze until really low temperatures.Roberts:And it will just cool them down. You can kind of like precisely control what temperature they're experiencing. So yeah, that also doesn't yeah. The list of stuff I'm saying no burying beetles freezing beetles.Saintsing:It just sounds, it sounds weird to us because when you say three, a person frees the person that's, you know, it sounds like really bad for the person, but these, yeah. These are, this is part of their lives, right? Yeah,Roberts:Yeah, yeah. So they can, well, they can tolerate most of it. Like, I, I don't, it's not like seeking to, um, expose them to anything they wouldn't do their natural environment, but, um, I'm just trying to understand what events in the natural environment, how that impacts your survival. Yeah. So I, yeah, and not baring humans out there, but, um, and then I, I guess one of the other things that, that I think you and I have a lot of overlap in our interests then is, um, like energetic costs. And I'm really interested in energetic cost of winter. And what changing temperatures will mean because energy use rates in insects is determined, like temperature dependent. So changing temperature means you change, uh, energy use and, and overwintering organisms, can't just get up and just need, they're kind of operating off of like a limited amount of energy. So, um, and a lot of how I study this is by measuring respiration rates of beetles or, and this sounds, I think way cooler than it actually is in process, but like, I think you quantify CO2 production and beetles by using lasers. So sometimes I say like, I measure beetle breathes using lasers, which make this sound like a really cool, um, when really I just kind of inject some gas into a box and yeah. Um,Saintsing:Honestly injecting gas into a box sounds complicated too.Roberts:Okay. It can't be, it take, it took me awhile to figure out exactly how to do it. Right. But, um, yeah. Yeah. And that's, that's a big, big thing of what I've done is spent so long, just measuring respiration rates, which I think you can relate to that as well.Saintsing:Yeah. It's uh, you got, you got animals doing their thing and you got the machine doing, its the thing, you got you doing your thing and you know, occasionally, sometimes everything lines up and you get a good reading.Roberts:Yep. And at least with overwintering organisms, they don't have their own behaviors really. You know, they're kind of just like dormant. So it's, it's easier to work on them than it could be otherwise. Yeah. Which is helpful for a lot of stuff. And also it decreases the animal care you have to do because you kind of want to not disturb them when they're wintering. So yeah. So I guess this is like really like the main, main things of what I've done quantified I guess how much storage limit or in beetles as well, a big one that I've done to cause it, yeah,Saintsing:Because that's kind of what they use. They get, they store a bunch of fat when they're eating in the summer and then they use that during the winter. Yeah.Roberts:Yeah. And I think like you can get a pretty good idea of how much energy is currently being used by using respiration rates, but it really isn't, it's like acute what they're feeling at the moment or what the temperature is that they're in, where I'm looking at weather stores gives you kind of this summary of everything that I've experienced. So yeah, a lot of the work I've done kind of compares and tries to predict how much energy would be used based off of temperature and respiration rates. And then compare that to what we actually see with these lipid measurements.Saintsing:How's how, how have things gone? Have you, uh, found any like really cool results or uh, like w where are you at?Roberts:Yeah. Uh, so I guess the goal of trying to kind of predict what the energetic cost of winter is, goes back to this question of what snow does across elevation, like how it regulates that and regulates yeah. Stress, which in this case it's energy, stress or cold stress. And, um, yeah, so I I've, I've used weather or I guess micro climate data across elevation or Beatles over winter and kind of looked at energy use across elevation. And w what we see is that increasing well, as you go up in elevation and the energetic cost of winter is lower, which is weird because it's longer as well. But I think what a big thing of what people typically haven't thought about when they're thinking about snow cover is that it buffers not only from cold, but from warm as well. And these like spring warm temperatures, temperatures are also depleting energy source, um, before the deals are emerging. So at low elevation, we're having more of that, um, exposure to warmer temperatures. So that's kind of one of like sorta interesting findings.Saintsing:Yeah. And like, uh, oh, sorry. But just about that, you're kind of saying like, the Beatles might be going along well. And like, I got plenty, I got plenty of storage and then all of a sudden the warm weather, um, starts making them just go into overdrive then reserves plummet.Roberts:Yeah, exactly. Yeah. They're, I'm making, I'm so close to the finish line and then potentially that's where all of the cost is. So, um, I mean, just not make it, and I think that this is going to be particularly interesting. Oh. So if there's earlier snow melts and exposure to these warm temperatures, there's still like a spring has a lot of fluctuating, hot and cold too. So they're also been exposed to cold temperatures and warm temperatures. Um, so they get kind of the worst of both worlds with that too. And that is another thing with snow that is happening, I guess this is more like broad pattern, but snow melt is starting earlier and then onset of snowfall and starting later due. So this season just kind of shrinking. Yeah. So, yeah, that's an interesting finding for that reason. And then I, I didn't mention anything about the difference between when snow is, I mean in a snow year versus a dry year, but, um, in snow years, the energetic cost is just overall higher across the elevation.Roberts:So it's kind of what we had predicted. Um, but at high elevations, they seem to be this site where they it's just so similar. There's just always a little bit of snow. And I think this kind of says that, like this may be a good site that is resistant to decreasing still too. So they may be able to move up in elevation if conditions become difficult, otherwise, which is a pattern then we're seeing otherwise inactive seasons, um, a bit more so like ranges of butterflies and see them move up, um, you know, elevation and plants move up in elevation response to increasing warm temperatures, but there may be this benefit in winter as well.Saintsing:So you're going to see more and more things just kind of restricted to the top of the mountain.Roberts:Yep. And at some point you've run out a mountain and you can keep going up too. So there's kind of a limit this why mountains are interesting besides getting to go hike around mountains, um, as a job basically. But yeah, they're, they're interesting because there is so much change over such a short scale, and then they eventually just kind of stopped.Saintsing:Does uh, has doing fieldwork changed how you experience? I dunno, the outdoors when you're not doing field work. Yeah. Yeah.Roberts:Well, I, it's hard to tell, I guess, what is yield work and what it is like biology or being a scientist for me, I guess, um, because the kind of started at the same time basically. And, um, so yeah, like my initial answer was going to be, you know, going someplace, I like will always look on plants or bugs and like, I don't know, just kind of notice the environment, environmental conditions, just weird stuff like that, that I probably wouldn't have if I didn't do field work. And then also didn't study biology as well. So, um, yeah, I mean, I guess it kind of changes the way you see the world in general. Right. But I also don't know what changed from then, but also a lot of stuff has changed since I was pre science. So, um, who knows what's responsible for what?Saintsing:Well, this has been a lot of fun, but I think, uh, we are running out of time on the interview, but yeah. Do you have anything that you want to leave the audience with before we go?Roberts:We're faced with this existential crisis in terms of climate change. Right. And there's a lot of negative emotions, I think that are associated with that. And I, I think it's a, it's easy to get kind of get really far into that. And I guess what I'm trying to get at is is that, Hey, you don't have to be a PhD student to, to notice a bug in the environment or yeah. It's just, um, it all fits together in such a cool way. It's I think it's really important to kind of get out and go experience those environments and things are changing, but they still are how they are now.Saintsing:Yeah. Today I've been speaking to Kevin Roberts from the department of integrative biology. We've talked about his work on beetles and the Sierras and how they survive the winter. Thanks so much for being on the show, Kevin.Roberts:Yeah. Thanks for having me here. It's been great.Saintsing:Tune in, in two weeks for the next episode of the graduate. Hosted on Acast.
