Els van Roode groeide in vier weken van nul naar 200.000 volgers, nadat ze onverwacht publiekslieveling werd in BnB Vol Liefde.Ze was met pensioen na een lange carrière als purser bij KLM en had nooit iets met social media gedaan. Op aanraden van haar dochters opende ze op 1 augustus 2024 haar eerste Instagram- en Facebookaccount. Wat volgde, verraste haar zelf het meest: 100.000 volgers na twee weken, 200.000 na vier weken, en een DM-box vol aanvragen van merken.Els, op dat moment zestig jaar oud en zonder plannen om ooit nog te werken, nam na zes weken een management aan. Na een half jaar deed ze alles zelf, startte als ZZP'er en overweegt inmiddels een BV, want de omzet gaat richting tonnen. Een post, story of reel kost merken tussen de €4.000 en €5.500. Ze werkte met KLM Holidays, Rivella, Velthuis kliniek en HelloFresh, maar blijft selectief: "Ik sta voor kwaliteit, en daar moeten bedrijven dan ook voor betalen."Naast haar werk als influencer schreef ze het boek Somewhere Els over haar KLM-jaren, en presenteert ze voor het RTL4-programma Nederland Ontdekt. Alles doet ze zelf, via haar smartphone, zeven dagen per week. Al 1,5 jaar lang.

This week's episode drops a day earlier than usual - right as conference tournament semifinals begin, and D‑Fly and Dixie waste no time diving into the most pivotal stretch of the season. With half the country already done and the other half fighting for their postseason lives, they run through every conference with Inside Lacrosse editor‑in‑chief Matt Kinnear, breaking down favorites, upset formulas, and the ripple effects each result could have on Selection Sunday. From the ACC's star‑studded slugfest in Charlotte to Albany's push for another America East title to the A‑Sun's three‑way deadlock, the crew sorts out which teams are locks for May, which are bid‑stealers, and which storylines — like Duke's at‑large hopes — hinge on results happening hundreds of miles away.Michigan's leading scorer, sophomore attackman Nick Roode, joins the show for a wide‑ranging and genuinely fun conversation. He talks about growing up in Peterborough as the son of WWE and TNA star Bobby Roode, sharing stories about taking fan photos for his dad, watching him flip from hero to heel, and what it's like to have a parent who's famous everywhere except at home, where he's simply “Dad.”Nick walks through his path from Peterborough minor lacrosse to Culver Military Academy, explaining how box lacrosse shaped his game, how Culver's culture sharpened his discipline, and how a fall play day at Brother Rice unexpectedly put him on Michigan's radar. He reflects on battling injuries his first two seasons — including breaking his hand mid‑game against Maryland — and how being forced to watch, teach, and study film elevated his lacrosse IQ and prepared him for this breakout year.He also discusses Michigan's resilience after a seven‑game losing streak, the leadership group's emphasis on belief and process, and why the Wolverines feel like they're hitting their stride at exactly the right time. On the lighter side, Nick drafts an all‑Culver sixes team (heavy on Peterborough legends), reveals his devotion to buffalo chicken in all forms, and explains why Tommy Renner and Max Bonner are responsible for the most electric aux performances in the locker room.Matt, Mark and Dan of course spotlight the most compelling matchups of the week, including High Point–St. Joe's in the A‑10, Providence's chance to shake up the Big East, and a heavyweight Big Ten semifinal between Penn State and Maryland. With discussions ranging from Tewaaraton implications to faceoff‑driven upset potential to which teams are peaking at the right moment, the episode sets the table for a chaotic, high‑stakes weekend across Division I lacrosse.

Benno Premsela was een befaamd vormgever en binnenhuisarchitect, een prominent figuur in de wereld van kunst en cultuur en daarnaast een gedreven pleitbezorger van homo-emancipatie. Hij was voorzitter van het COC, de belangenvereniging waar hij veel zichtbaarheid aan gaf. Hij was een belangrijk vertegenwoordiger die openlijk op televisie zijn homoseksualiteit besprak. Zijn grote verdienste is geweest de succesvolle lobby voor het afschaffen van Artikel 248bis, een wet uit het strafrecht waarmee homo's werden gediscrimineerd, gecriminaliseerd en gechanteerd. Zijn missie had alles te maken met zijn voorgeschiedenis. Premsela's vader was een joodse huisarts en seksuoloog; hij werd samen met zijn vrouw en dochter in Auschwitz vermoord. Benno Premsela en zijn broer overleefden de oorlog. In Wat blijft audiodoc volgt journalist Botte Jellema zijn spoor terug. Hij praat met: *Rob Tielman, oud-hoogleraar Sociologie en bevriend met Premsela; *Harry Ribbens, oud-directeur van het Centrum voor Industriële vormgeving die met Premsela heeft samengewerkt; *Ingeborg de Roode, conservator Industriële vormgeving van het Stedelijk Museum in Amsterdam; *en Dolly Bellefleur, het alter ego van Ruud Douma, die als dragqueen al decennia optreedt en een belangrijk boegbeeld is van de LHBTIQ+ beweging.

In times of global uncertainty and chaos, it's easy to feel anxious about the future and wonder if we're living in the end times. However, Scripture teaches that our security doesn't come from our own goodness or efforts, but from God's choice to set us apart as His beloved people. Paul contrasts those who refuse truth with those chosen by God for salvation and sanctification. Our response should be to stand firm in biblical truth, immerse ourselves in Scripture, and maintain consistent prayer. Rather than being paralyzed by current events, we're called to live faithfully each day, building our lives on the solid foundation of God's Word while remaining ready for Christ's return.https://www.ankenyfree.church

Send us a textIn this episode of Causes or Cures, Dr. Eeks talks with Dr. Jaap de Roode, an evolutionary biologist and author of Doctors by Nature: How Ants, Apes, and Other Animals Heal Themselves, about one of the most fascinating corners of biology: the ways animals use plants, minerals, insects, and even toxins as medicine.They talk about:What sparked his interest in animals treating their own illnesses Why medicine isn't only a human invention How scientists tell the difference between random behavior and true self-medication His favorite examples of animal doctors in the wild Whether animals know they're taking medicine or if it's instinct or trial-and-error The weirdest substances animals use to heal themselves What traditional healers who observed animals for years and years could teach us ,and what we ourselves could learn from observing this type of animal behavior. Whether animal self-medication could lead to new drugs or therapies The risks of over-romanticizing “nature knows best” The scientific challenges in proving an animal is self-medicating How seeing animals as medicine-users might change how we respect their lives and value their habitats And the big question: Who is the best doctor in the animal kingdom?If you love animals, nature, weird science, evolutionary biology, or the idea that your pet might actually be a doctor or furry-little pharmacist, you'll love this episode.Dr. Jaap de Roode runs a research lab at Emory University focused on how hosts and parasites co-evolve, from monarch butterflies to honey bees. He also leads science outreach, directs the Infectious Diseases Across Scales training program, and hosts the Virulent Vortex podcast. You can learn more about him and his research here.

Check the website here: http://enlites.com/ Dr. Jaap de Roode is Samuel C. Dobbs Professor in the Department of Biology at Emory University. He studies the ecology and evolution of parasites and their hosts, and is interested in co-infections of different parasite species, self-medication in hosts, and local coevolution of hosts and parasites. One of his main interests is the evolution of parasite virulence (i.e. parasite-induced reductions of host fitness). He is the author of Doctors by Nature: How Ants, Apes, and Other Animals Heal Themselves. In this episode, we focus on Doctors by Nature. We talk about four different ways that animals use natural products to fight infections and alleviate disease: prophylaxis; therapeutic medication; body anointing; and fumigation. We discuss whether animals know that they are medicating themselves, and whether these behaviors are learned or innate. We go through examples of monarch butterflies, apes that swallow leaves to dislodge worms, how bees combat pathogens, social distancing, nausea and neophobia, and why dogs eat grass. We discuss when humans started using medication, and how we can benefit from studying the medicating behaviors of animals. Finally, we talk about applications of this knowledge.--A HUGE THANK YOU TO MY PATRONS/SUPPORTERS: PER HELGE LARSEN, JERRY MULLER, BERNARDO SEIXAS, ADAM KESSEL, MATTHEW WHITINGBIRD, ARNAUD WOLFF, TIM HOLLOSY, HENRIK AHLENIUS, ROBERT WINDHAGER, RUI INACIO, ZOOP, MARCO NEVES, COLIN HOLBROOK, PHIL KAVANAGH, SAMUEL ANDREEFF, FRANCIS FORDE, TIAGO NUNES, FERGAL CUSSEN, HAL HERZOG, NUNO MACHADO, JONATHAN LEIBRANT, JOÃO LINHARES, STANTON T, SAMUEL CORREA, ERIK HAINES, MARK SMITH, JOÃO EIRA, TOM HUMMEL, SARDUS FRANCE, DAVID SLOAN WILSON, YACILA DEZA-ARAUJO, ROMAIN ROCH, DIEGO LONDOÑO CORREA, YANICK PUNTER, CHARLOTTE BLEASE, NICOLE BARBARO, ADAM HUNT, PAWEL OSTASZEWSKI, NELLEKE BAK, GUY MADISON, GARY G HELLMANN, SAIMA AFZAL, ADRIAN JAEGGI, PAULO TOLENTINO, JOÃO BARBOSA, JULIAN PRICE, HEDIN BRØNNER, DOUGLAS FRY, FRANCA BORTOLOTTI, GABRIEL PONS CORTÈS, URSULA LITZCKE, SCOTT, ZACHARY FISH, TIM DUFFY, SUNNY SMITH, JON WISMAN, WILLIAM BUCKNER, LUKE GLOWACKI, GEORGIOS THEOPHANOUS, CHRIS WILLIAMSON, PETER WOLOSZYN, DAVID WILLIAMS, DIOGO COSTA, ALEX CHAU, CORALIE CHEVALLIER, BANGALORE ATHEISTS, LARRY D.

In this conversation, host Dr. Riley Kirk and guest Dr. Jaap De Roode discuss the fascinating field of zoo pharmacognosy, exploring how animals medicate themselves using natural substances. He shares insights from his research on monarch butterflies and honeybees, highlighting the role of toxic compounds and fungi in animal health. The discussion also touches on the implications for agriculture, the importance of biodiversity, and the potential for learning from animal behaviors in medicine. Dr. De Roode emphasizes the need for more research in this area and the significance of maintaining natural ecosystems for the health of both animals and humans. Key Takeaways Zoo pharmacognosy is the study of how animals medicate themselves. Monarch butterflies use toxic milkweed compounds to combat parasites. Honeybees may use fungi to treat infections in their colonies. Animal medication can be a learned behavior or instinctual response. Diversity in diet is crucial for animal health and resilience. Propolis serves as both a cement and a medicinal substance for bees. Observational studies provide insights into animal medication behaviors. Animals can change their behavior based on their health needs. Research on animal medication can inform agricultural practices. Understanding animal medication can lead to new discoveries in human medicine.

Ian Sample meets Jaap de Roode, professor of biology at Emory University in Atlanta, and author of the book Doctors by Nature: How Ants, Apes and Other Animals Heal Themselves. De Roode explains how a chance discovery got him interested in animal medicine, the amazing ways that creatures use toxins to fight parasites and pathogens, and what humans have learnt about medicine from the animal world.

"But it makes a lot of sense especially when you think about how traditional healers and shamans have worked, they haven't felt that separation from nature like Western medics do. And so to rely on the knowledge of other species actually makes a lot of sense. It's probably a lot more than we know at the moment." - Jaap de Roode Jaap de Roode is a biology professor at Emory University, and he is the author of an astonishing new book called Doctors by Nature How Ants, Apes, and Other Animals Heal Themselves. I say astonishing because I had no idea about so much of what he explores in his book. It never occurred to me to consider that other species use medicine and have been healing themselves forever. Jaap tells stories of animals across nature, from bumblebees to chimpanzees, how they use plants and natural substances to treat infections, to ward off parasites, to self-medicate. There's so much that we have learned from them, and there's so much more that we still can.
In this episode of Talk Nerdy, Cara is joined by Emory University professor of biology and director of the Infectious Diseases across Scales Training Program, Dr. Jaap De Roode. They discuss his new book, “Doctors by Nature: How Ants, Apes, and Other Animals Heal Themselves.”
