Episode 293 The future of NASA and of US science is under threat, following cuts made by the Trump administration. Johns Hopkins University lost $800 million in grants this week which will impact the health of people all over the world. At the same time, there's chaos at NASA where the budget is set to be cut in half, with multiple people losing their jobs overnight. What missions will we have to sacrifice - and will NASA survive? As we pump ever increasing amounts of carbon dioxide into the atmosphere, some people argue this is actually a benefit to the world's plant life. As carbon dioxide rises, photosynthesis can increase - but only up to a point. New research shows there's a limit to this effect and many, many consequences. One study on trees suggests rising CO2  levels could impact the carbon storage capacity, and the lifespan, of the world's forests. Our understanding of memory has been flipped on its head. Researchers have been looking into a memory illusion that warps our perception of time. In a clever experiment, they've shown that experiencing something multiple times not only makes our memory of it stronger, but also makes us think it's an older memory too. Find out what's happening - and how there is no single thing as “memory”.  Chapters: (00:21) The future of NASA (6:52) Photosynthesis collapse (19:59) The mystery of memory Hosted by Rowan Hooper and Penny Sarchet, with guests Jacob Aron, Madeleine Cuff, Sophie Berdugo, Rob MacKenzie, Gustaf Degen, Ian Billick and Alex Easton.

Sustainability has moved from the fringes to the core of modern investment strategies, reshaping not just financial systems but the way we define progress itself. In an era where environmental urgency meets technological innovation, the convergence of sustainable finance and green technologies is setting the tone for a new economic reality. This shift demands more than token gestures; it calls for a complete rethinking of how capital is deployed and value is measured. As green bonds fund renewable energy projects and ESG investing aligns profit with purpose, financial markets are becoming pivotal to solving global challenges like climate change and resource depletion. Carbon trading platforms are monetizing emission reductions, while fintech innovations streamline transparency and efficiency in these efforts. This article explores how these tools and strategies are rewriting the rules of finance, making sustainability not just a responsibility but a competitive advantage. What is Sustainable Finance? Sustainable finance incorporates environmental, social, and governance (ESG) considerations into financial decision-making. It channels investments toward projects and practices that mitigate environmental harm while fostering economic growth. This framework supports initiatives like climate change mitigation, biodiversity preservation, pollution prevention, and transitioning industries toward eco-friendly practices. At its core, sustainable finance underscores the shift from short-term profitability to long-term value creation. This transformation is crucial for achieving global objectives like the Paris Agreement and the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). Green Bonds in Financing a Sustainable Future Green bonds are one of the most prominent tools in sustainable finance. These debt instruments allocate capital to environmental projects such as renewable energy, sustainable infrastructure, and conservation efforts. Key characteristics of green bonds include transparency and accountability, ensuring that funds are exclusively directed toward eco-friendly projects. The appeal of green bonds lies in their dual benefits: financial returns and measurable environmental impact. For example, Apple's $4.7 billion in green bonds in 2022 funded renewable energy initiatives and low-carbon technologies. Globally, Europe leads in green bond issuances, with countries like France and Germany setting benchmarks, while emerging markets such as China rapidly expand their green finance portfolios. ESG Investing: Aligning Profit with Purpose ESG investing evaluates companies based on environmental stewardship, social impact, and governance practices. This approach has gained significant traction as investors recognize the link between strong ESG performance and financial resilience. High ESG ratings often correlate with lower operational risks, enhanced innovation, and improved stakeholder trust. For example, institutional investors increasingly favor companies prioritizing reducing carbon emissions, fostering diversity, and maintaining transparent governance. The financial benefits of ESG are well-documented. Studies reveal that companies with robust ESG frameworks often outperform their peers regarding profitability and risk mitigation, making ESG investing an ethical and financially sound choice. Renewable Energy Funding and Carbon Trading Platforms The push for renewable energy funding is a cornerstone of sustainable finance. Investment in solar, wind, and hydropower technologies has surged, driven by both public and private sectors. Initiatives like the European Green Deal aim to mobilize billions in renewable energy projects, setting a global precedent. Carbon trading platforms, another pivotal innovation, allow businesses to buy and sell carbon credits. These platforms incentivize emissions reductions by assigning monetary value to carbon savings. Blockchain technology has enhanced the transparency and efficiency of these ...

Looking out at the plants surrounding us, it might seem as if there is not much going on in their lives. But, if we were to zoom in on these plants and gaze into their interior, we would find the most intricate and complex biological processes that we are still far from fully understanding. One process that we can observe is the light dependent reactions of photosynthesis where plants harness the energy of the sun, converting it into a form of usable energy. Today, we will be explore how this process works.

Early people in North America had mammoth appetitesThe people of the Clovis culture, who lived across Ice Age North America 13,000 years ago, left behind many tools and artifacts that suggest they were skilled hunters. And now chemical analysis of the incredibly rare find of bones of a Clovis child has given us the first direct evidence of what they were eating. The research, co-led by James Chatters of McMaster University, revealed they were “super-carnivores” whose diet mostly consisted of mammoth meat, with elk and bison/camel showing up as well. By specializing in hunting megafauna, this would have helped the Clovis people rapidly spread throughout North America. The research was published in the journal Science Advances.Now we know the specific molecule that makes the Corpse flower smell like deathCorpse flowers are major botanical attractions because of their unique shape, their rare flowering and their incredible stench. Now researchers have identified the molecule that is the secret behind the stink. Alveena Zulfiqar, a research associate at the University of Minnesota, was a key part of the team led by G. Eric Schaller, a professor of biology at Dartmouth College. They published their research in the journal PNAS Nexus.The dinosaurs that became birds had distinctive drumsticksThe lineage of dinosaurs that ultimately evolved into birds didn't just have unique adaptations for wings and feathers. They also evolved unique drumsticks, specifically fibula bones that are detached at the ankle, which gave their knee joints unusual mobility, allowing them to twist by more than 100 degrees. Biomechanist Armita Manafzadeh, from Yale University, says it's certainly possible that this change in their mobility might have been key to their survival. Their research was published in Nature. A plant can spit out its seeds fast enough to take out an eyeIn the blink of an eye the squirting cucumber can eject its seeds faster than a greyhound can run, up to twelve meters from the plant. High speed video has enabled researchers to capture the process, which the plant manages without muscles or tendons. Derek Moulton, a professor of applied mathematics at the University of Oxford, was part of the team that published their research in the journal PNAS.Hacking photosynthesis: How we can improve the chemistry that's the foundation of lifeThe plants that make up the base of the Earth's food chain, use the sun's energy — along with carbon dioxide and water — to build their tissues. But the chemical process they use, photosynthesis, is extremely inefficient. To feed our growing population, scientists are working on ways to improve this very foundational chemical reaction by increasing its efficiency.One team developed a computer simulation of the entire photosynthetic process to systematically search for and test ways to enhance the process. Plant biologist Steve Long, from the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, says if they combined all the individual gains they've discovered, he estimates they could improve efficiency by up to double. One of their latest studies is currently in the preprint bioRxiv. Another approach scientists are investigating involves replacing photosynthesis with more efficient chemical reaction to produce acetate as fuel for the plants' growth. This reaction could be powered by solar energy or any other form of electricity.

In this episode of the "How to Protect the Ocean" podcast, host Andrew Luan discusses the fascinating connection between giant clams and the efficiency of solar panels. He highlights the vibrant colors of giant clams, which are not only visually stunning but also play a crucial role in coral reef ecosystems, particularly in the Southeast Pacific. The key focus is on the algae, specifically zooxanthellae, that live within the soft tissue of giant clams. These algae absorb sunlight and are essential for the clams' survival, as they facilitate photosynthesis and contribute to the clam's calcium shell formation. Remarkably, giant clams can absorb about 95% of the light that hits them, significantly outperforming current solar panel technology, which has an efficiency of around 67%. Luan emphasizes the potential for replicating the light-absorbing mechanisms of giant clams in solar panel design. By studying the arrangement of the algae within the clams, scientists could potentially enhance solar panel efficiency, making them more effective in harnessing solar energy. This innovation could be pivotal in addressing global energy needs and reducing reliance on fossil fuels. The episode underscores the importance of protecting biodiversity, as the loss of species like giant clams could mean missing out on valuable insights and advancements in renewable energy technology. Luan encourages listeners to appreciate the interconnectedness of marine life and its potential benefits for humanity, particularly in the context of sustainable energy solutions.

Chlorophyll (a naturally occurring pigment involved in photosynthesis)-inspired molecules hold promise for developing next-generation light-harvesting materials. However, achieving precise control over their assembly is challenging. Researchers have now revealed that attaching dendrons - branched, tree-like structures - can aid in self-assembly of chlorophyll's materials. They found that smaller dendrons lead to stacked, fibre-like structures, while larger dendrons create spherical chlorophyll particles, advancing the development of materials that mimic the light-harvesting efficiency of natural photosynthetic systems. Researchers often look to photosynthesis - a process that turns sunlight into chemical energy in plants and bacteria - as a model for innovation. Photosynthesis is in turn linked to chlorophyll pigments, tiny green molecules that play a key role in harvesting light. Naturally, these chlorophyll molecules are organized into precise structures to optimize light absorption in plants and bacteria, and efficiently capture sunlight for energy. Inspired by this natural structure, scientists have explored ways to synthetically assemble chlorophyll-based structures for applications in optoelectronics and renewable energy. A recent study led by Professor Shiki Yagai and Mr Ryo Kudo from the Graduate School of Engineering at Chiba University in Japan, along with a team of researchers, demonstrated how modifying chlorophyll-like molecules can direct them to form distinct structural arrangements, offering insights that could transform synthetic light-harvesting materials. The study was published in Volume 11, Issue 22 of the Organic Chemistry Frontiers on October 08, 2024. "Photosynthetic bacteria utilize highly organized chlorophyll arrays, allowing them to capture light even in low-light conditions. We aimed to recreate these structures based on the identical synthetic molecular design, as comparing their photophysical properties might help us understand why such structures were selected in the course of evolution in nature, " explains Prof. Yagai. To create these structures, the team modified the chlorophyll molecule by attaching a barbituric acid unit via hydrogen bonding and further added tree-like molecular structures called "dendrons" to form stable rosette-like rings and control their hierarchical stacking. When the modified chlorophyll was dissolved in different solvents, the chlorophyll rosettes displayed a remarkable behavior. In a non-polar solvent like methylcyclohexane, chlorophyll derivatives with smaller second-generation dendrons were stacked into helical fibers, while those with bulkier, third-generation dendrons remained in smaller, disc-shaped aggregates. They could thereby assemble the chlorophyll molecules into two different forms, namely columnar stacks and discrete aggregates, mimicking the circular and tubular arrangements seen in photosynthetic bacteria. In contrast, when dissolved in chloroform, both the chlorophyll derivatives formed rosette patterns. Using advanced imaging techniques like atomic force microscopy, transmission electron microscopy, and small-angle X-ray scattering, the team characterized the unique shapes and arrangement patterns of these synthetic chlorophyll assemblies. They found that the helical fibers formed by the second-generation dendron chlorophylls exhibited a highly ordered structure, while the third-generation dendron chlorophylls displayed a more homogeneous, spherical shape. "Our findings show that subtle adjustments in molecular design can lead to significant differences in the final assembled structure of the chlorophyll, which could be exploited to create materials with specific light-harvesting properties," remarks Prof. Yagai. "These insights into controlling molecular self-assembly could ignite breakthroughs in functional materials science. We are thrilled by the potential to create materials that not only mimic but surpass the capabilities of natural photosy...

There are three reactions to the concept of “feeding your plants”: 1) Plants feed themselves through Photosynthesis (you don't need to feed your plants!) 2) They'll pick up elements in the soil that they need for growth and development, nobody feeds the plants in a native forest. 3) What's scientifically needed for our gardens is a soil test that indicates which chemical elements are lacking in soil. This is about the Science of Fertilisers. This is the time of the year when soil temperatures are great for plant growth. Roots work over-time to extract minerals, dissolve them in water and transport them through the phloem bundles to the leaves of plants, where photosynthesis puts it all together and creates carbohydrates and chemicals that allow cell-elongation (growth). Plants use three main elements for bulk growth “food”: Nitrogen, Phosphorous, and potassium (K), which are generally known as NPK (their chemical symbols). N is used to make the green stuff: leaves and chlorophyll (LAWNS, LETTUCE, SPINACH, HEDGES). P is good for root development and plant health (CARROTS, PARSNIPS, POTATOES, etc). K (potash) is for sex: flowers and fruits (TOMATOES, APPLES, STRAWBERRIES, FLOWERING PLANTS). Other elements needed for plant functioning are needed in much smaller quantities: Mg (Magnesium), S (Sulphur), Ca (Calcium), Cu (Copper), Fe (Iron), Zn (Zinc), Mn (Manganese), and a heap more of those minor “trace elements”. There are a few different types of fertilisers: 1) “General” Fertiliser – for general growth: usually something like N-P-K 7-3-6 or 12-4-13 (note how Phosphorus is usually less than the N and K). 2) Potato fertiliser: N-P-K 3-9-6, also good for carrots and parsnips. 3) Tomato or rose fertiliser - usually higher in potash (K): N-P-K 3-4-9. This helps to stimulate flower and fruit growth. Of course, you can always use the general fertiliser (which tends to be highest in Nitrogen) and simply add a few handfuls of Superphosphate (P) if you grow root crops, or handfuls of Sulphate of Potash (K) if you want to up the dose of K (potash) for flowers and fruit. Organic fertilisers usually have lower concentrations of elements, and they are often less prone to fertiliser run-off into water courses. Chicken poo (a “Natural” organic fertiliser) has a high content of Nitrogen which can burn plants – I would always send it through a cycle of composting before use. These are very general comments on how to use fertilisers; some plants require a bit more detailed knowledge or would benefit from changing fertiliser regimes in different times of the year (Cymbidium orchids have a green-growth phase to make leaves in spring and summer – followed by a flower bud initiation in autumn and flowering in winter). I use General fertiliser on my young tomatoes to get them growing up and create a strong climbing vine, before the flower buds are formed. Once they start flowering, I assist the plants with more potash to keep on making fruit – I just switch to a higher potash fertiliser such as Wet&Forget's Seaweed Tea. Dog Pee fertiliser Most homeowners let their dogs use the backyard as their own personal toilet. Urine is very high in Nitrogen. Too much nitrogen will burn the grass and create yellow patches after sensational, dark green growth (a dog will usually come back to the same patch – territorial “marking”). The concentration of nitrogen in the dog's urine depends on the type of dog, its sex, and what the animal eats. Larger dogs will pee more and cause more damage. Female dogs also tend to cause more damage than males because they squat and urinate in one concentrated patch whereas the males spray their urine over a larger area and in much smaller doses each time. Finally, diets high in protein can increase the concentration of nitrogen in the urine since protein breaks down to release nitrogen compounds.

Nestled in a cozy rock cove, I sat with my toes curled in the sand, skin bathing in the silken memory-foam light of a waxing moon, observing the perpetual foamy snake dance of Mama Pacific. I saw glowing hieroglyphics embossed within the sea foam as they shimmered betwixt the sand: ceaseless, graceful, eloquent and free. The way a bird allows the breeze to influence the vectors of its flight, so too were the scintillating messages of the ocean finessed by the raw inexorable power of the gripping crashing waves. I grabbed a piece of driftwood and wrote a single word, etched on the beach for a few brief instances before another swell once again combed its grainy canvas blank: Renewal. Nature is Renewal.

Every seed will produce more of its own kind of plant.' And it happened. The earth produced plants with grain for seeds and trees that made fruits with seeds in them. Each seed grew its own kind of plant. God saw that all this was good.” Genesis 1:11-12 (NCV)“The grass dies and the flowers fall, but the word of our God will live forever.” Isaiah 40:8 (NCV)“Heaven and earth will pass away, but my words will never pass away.” Matthew 24:35 (NIV)“Lord, your word is everlasting…” Psalm 119:89 (NCV)Terms Learned in This Episode:Embryo: The first stage of growth and development.Dormant: To be inactive, or not active.First Plant Shoot: The first part of the plant to push through the soil and grow above ground. Tender and fragile baby plant from which the plant will continue to grow.Photosynthesis: A process controlled by sunlight that puts things in a plant together to turn them into energy. Photosynthesis allows a plant to use the sun's energy to make food.Cotyledon: First leaf-like structures in a plant, present in the seed. Not “true leaves” and might look different from the leaves to grow after. Important for the plant to begin photosynthesis.Nectar: A sugary liquid in plants that insects and some birds rely on. Very important for pollination.Annual Flowers: Flower plants that only grow for one growing season.Perennial Flowers: Flower plants that grow for several seasons, going dormant in cold weather then sending up new shoots and growing again the following growing season.Find more Bible & Nature resources at Erynlynum.com
