The horseshoe crab has endured for over 450 million years. It has survived several mass extinctions including the one that killed off the dinosaurs. One reason for their incredible resiliency is their ability to fend off bacterial infection. Their blood contains cells that clot around invading bacteria, thereby protecting them from the attacking toxins.In this episode we talk with three experts about how this animal's unique blue blood has become essential to modern medicine. We also talk about why horseshoe crab populations are dwindling, and what biotech is doing to address the shortfall.Follow us on LinkedIn, X, Facebook and Instagram. Visit us at https://www.bio.org/

Brett Harrison is an experienced endurance athlete, coach and event organizer. He's coached numerous runners to PRs, a US cross country team to the state finals, and loads of people from couch to 5K. Brett has lived in Tanzania since 2009, working in community development with a focus on increasing food security among rural people. Brett started Red Knot Racing Company in 2012, in order to fund agriculture development work. In 2019 Brett registered non-profit organization Red Knot Development to scale his existing community development work while expanding its scope to include sports development and wildlife conservation. Brett's affinity for mountain biking and trail running, combined with their love for Tanzania, left them no choice but to organize world-class endurance events here. They work hard to ensure our courses are unique and challenging, with the perfect combination of varied terrain and spectacular scenery. Red Knot Racing firmly believes the solutions to the world's problems lie in sacrificing ourselves in order to improve life for others. They founded Red Knot to make the world a better place, and they stand by that commitment. A minimum of 2% of our total revenue supports community development work in Tanzania. But it's not just money they contribute; our staff personally assists farmers and youth to navigate the hardships they encounter. They believe the power to motivate others towards lasting change comes from relationships. The way forward is by walking alongside people — not in front of them.

Contributors: Brian Harrington Brian Harrington, founder of the International Shorebird Survey and an emeritus scientist at Manomet, recently joined the Manomet Board of Trustees. Brian began working at Manomet (then the Manomet Bird Observatory) in 1972. Until his retirement in 2007, Harrington focused on conservation issues associated with the long, nonstop migrations of many kinds of shorebirds, particularly the Red Knot. In 1996, he authored the popular book, “The Flight of the Red Knot,” and continues his work with knots and shorebird conservation to this day. Currently, Harrington serves as an advisor to the Western Hemisphere Shorebird Reserve Network, a science-based, partnership-driven conservation initiative for protecting the ecological integrity of critical habitats for shorebirds throughout the Americas. He is also a co-leader of the South Shore and Upper Cape Chapter of the Citizens' Climate lobby and a Trustee of the Wildlands Trust. Previously, Brian served as President of The Herring Ponds Watershed Association in Plymouth, which he founded. Craig Gibson Craig is a bird conservation photographer. His current focus is on expanding awareness about the Winter Crow Roost located in Lawrence, MA. Craig has well over 300 documented observation nights tracking and documenting this crow roost. He leads many group tours and has made numerous presentations and talks. Craig designed and launched a blog and this podcast about the Winter Crow Roost and continues to oversee all editorial content. He has also been the lead on initiating and coordinating a range of activities and events with local arts, education, and community groups as well as working with a growing number of conservation and environmental organizations. He wrote and published a comprehensive 14-page report to recap the 2018-2019 winter season, and a comprehensive guide about roost photography at night. His efforts have raised much greater awareness about the Winter Crow Roost in Lawrence, MA, and he has been a catalyst for a range of new community science initiatives.
In this episode of Deia Unpacked we talk to the enigmatic Scott Cohen, a man with many interests and projects. We learn about what brought him to Deia, what it was like to direct his feature film The Red Knot on a boat in Antarctica, and how that experience might influence future work in Mallorca. We also talk about his his work as co-founder of New Lab, a multi-disciplinary technology center bringing together engineers and scientists from around the world, to solve global problems to make the world a better place, as well as his past and future art projects, and how this might all culminate here in Deia. Scott's interests are varied, ambitious and civic minded, bringing to mind the true Renaissance man. We also address the perennial question about Deia. Is it possible to live in paradise and work at the same time? We certainly hope so...

The world's strangest hybrid? And good news for the Red Knot.
The red knot is a tiny shorebird that undertakes a mind-boggling migration from the tip of South America all the way to the Arctic Circle. One of the few stops on that marathon journey is the Delaware Bay, an estuary that offers a banquet for migrating birds. Here, for some 20,000 years, red knots have flocked by the thousands to fuel their journey. But humans may be writing a tragic ending to this extraordinary evolutionary success story, unless biologists armed with an unusual tool can win a race against time.
QUEST explores the interdependent web of relationships that come out of an annual event - the great horseshoe crab migration in Kitts Hummock in the Delaware Bay near Dover, Delaware. In this segment, you will find: the patterns/cycles of the tides, the lifecycle of the horseshoe crab, the migratory patterns of the Red Knot birds, and the interrelationship between the horseshoe crabs and the Red Knots QUEST shares more information on the horseshoe crab in the slideshow, including its mating habits, defining physical characteristics, and migration patterns.
