Terra Formars is about humanity's attempt to colonize Mars using cockroaches to terraform it, but 500 years later, the first human mission finds the cockroaches have evolved into giant, powerful, humanoid creatures, leading Earth to send genetically modified elite warriors to fight them, while uncovering secrets about the "Alien Engine Virus" affecting Earth and the roaches' true nature. The series follows these missions, focusing on intense, bloody battles where soldiers gain insect-like powers to fight the formidable "Terraformars".

In this episode, hosts Cara and Anna talk with Dr. Virginia Vitzthum about novel findings in female reproductive functioning across populations, tell exciting fieldwork stories, and reflect on the changing nature of the field of Anthropology. Dr. Virginia Vitzthum is a professor emeritus in the Department of Anthropology at Indiana University. Currently, she is an Honorary Professor in the School of Medicine, University of British Columbia, Vancouver; Member of the Scientific Advisory Council at CeMCOR (Centre for Menstrual Cycle and Ovulation Research, UBC); and scientific advisor for Clue, a Germany-based menstrual tracking app. Her research focuses on women's reproductive functioning and how it differs between individuals and across populations around the world. This work has direct implications for improving women's health including reducing breast cancer, depression, autoimmune diseases, and other hormone related disorders; treating infertility and preventing early pregnancy loss; and developing more effective contraceptives with fewer side effects.

Join us for a conversation with Dr. Amy Boddy, Professor of Anthropology at UC Santa Barbara and head of the Boddy Lab, a human evolutionary biologist whose work asks why cancer varies across the animal kingdom, how pregnancy reshapes the body, and what it means that nearly all of us carry living cells that originated in someone else. In this episode, Amy explains microchimerism, the phenomenon in which foreign cells can invade and persist in our bodies for decades, turning up in the blood, bone marrow, and pancreas; sometimes with a benefit. Amy makes the case that microchimeric cells deserve a central place in how we think about health and inheritance, and in what it means to be an individual when the boundaries of the body prove so porous. ------------------------------ Find the papers mentioned in this episode: Chua, K.

In this episode, host Chris speaks with Dr. Christine Webb about primate behavior, cognition and consciousness, and dismantling the myth of human exceptionalism. Dr. Christine Webb is an assistant professor in the department of Environmental Studies at NYU, where she is part of the animal studies program. Her work seeks to elucidate the complex dynamics of animal social life and to apply this knowledge to foundational questions in animal ethics and conservation. Specifically, she investigates how animals manage and mitigate social disruptions, and the emotional, motivational , and cultural influences shaping these processes, with a focus on non-human primates. Dr. Webb is interested in how prevailing social norms, values, and institutions shape contemporary knowledge of other animals and the environment more generally. In her new book, The Arrogant Ape, Dr. Webb engages critically with human exceptionalism, and how this pervasive ideology biases scientific exploration of the more-than-human world. ------------------------------ Find the book discussed in this episode: Webb, C.

Fluent Fiction - Danish: Seagulls and Serendipity: A Lab's Unexpected Revelation Find the full episode transcript, vocabulary words, and more:fluentfiction.com/da/episode/2026-06-10-07-38-19-da Story Transcript:Da: I den hemmelige laboratorie højt oppe i klipperne med udsigt til det store, blå hav, arbejdede Astrid og Lars.En: In the secret laboratory high up in the cliffs overlooking the vast, blue sea, Astrid and Lars were working.Da: Gennemsigtige vægge afslørede solens sene stråler, mens forårsluften strømmede ind gennem åbne vinduer.En: Transparent walls revealed the late rays of the sun, while the spring air flowed in through open windows.Da: Astrid var dybt koncentreret.En: Astrid was deeply concentrated.Da: Hun var iført en hvid laboratoriefrakke og kunne næsten høre hver lille lyd i laboratoriet.En: She was wearing a white lab coat and could almost hear every little sound in the laboratory.Da: Lars derimod gik rundt med et smil og en fingerfærdig tilgang til eksperimenterne.En: Lars, on the other hand, wandered around with a smile and a nimble approach to the experiments.Da: "Lad os se, hvad der sker, hvis vi ændrer denne formel lidt," sagde Lars med et glimt i øjet.En: "Let's see what happens if we change this formula a bit," said Lars with a twinkle in his eye.Da: "Vi skal holde os til planen," svarede Astrid strengt, men kunne ikke lade være med at smile ad hans entusiasme.En: "We need to stick to the plan," replied Astrid sternly, but she couldn't help but smile at his enthusiasm.Da: Men så skete der noget uventet.En: But then something unexpected happened.Da: En duft begyndte at sprede sig i rummet.En: A scent began to spread in the room.Da: Den var stærk og sær og mindede lidt om nybagt brød med en antydning af havsalt.En: It was strong and peculiar, somewhat reminiscent of freshly baked bread with a hint of sea salt.Da: Før de vidste af det, hørte de skræppende lyde udenfor.En: Before they knew it, they heard squawking sounds outside.Da: Måger!En: Seagulls!Da: Mange måger.En: Many seagulls.Da: Astrid skyndte sig hen til vinduet.En: Astrid hurried to the window.Da: Himmelen var fuld af fugle, der kredsede om laboratoriet, lokket af den mærkværdige duft.En: The sky was full of birds circling the laboratory, attracted by the strange scent.Da: "Vi må få dem væk!En: "We need to get them away!Da: De distraherer os," sagde Astrid bekymret.En: They're distracting us," said Astrid worriedly.Da: Men Lars grinte.En: But Lars laughed.Da: "Måske kan vi lære noget af dem?En: "Maybe we can learn something from them?Da: Vi kan observere deres adfærd."En: We can observe their behavior."Da: Astrid sukkede, men gav Lars en tænkepause.En: Astrid sighed but gave Lars a moment to think.Da: Mågerne blev flere, nogle satte sig endda på gelænderet udenfor.En: More seagulls arrived, and some even perched on the railing outside.Da: Kaos begyndte at sprede sig.En: Chaos began to spread.Da: Lars tog et gammelt luns brød frem fra sin frokostpose og smuldrede det ud ad vinduet i et forsøg på at lokke mågerne længere væk.En: Lars took an old piece of bread out of his lunch bag and crumbled it out the window in an attempt to lure the seagulls farther away.Da: Det virkede som en midlertidig løsning.En: It worked as a temporary solution.Da: Astrid begyndte at indse noget.En: Astrid began to realize something.Da: Hun betragtede mågerne på ny.En: She watched the seagulls anew.Da: Deres opførsel og reaktioner kunne faktisk give dem indsigt, måske endda inspirere et helt nyt studie om dyreadfærd.En: Their behavior and reactions could actually provide them with insight, maybe even inspire an entirely new study on animal behavior.Da: Med Lars' hjælp, og lidt kreativt improvisation, lykkedes det at drive mågerne længere ned mod stranden.En: With Lars' help, and a bit of creative improvisation, they managed to drive the seagulls further down towards the beach.Da: Da roen sænkede sig, sad de to forskere tilbage og betragtede det fredfyldte hav.En: When calm settled, the two researchers sat back and watched the peaceful sea.Da: "Måske har du ret," indrømmede Astrid til Lars.En: "Maybe you're right," Astrid admitted to Lars.Da: "Nogle gange kan uforudsigelige hændelser åbne nye døre."En: "Sometimes unpredictable events can open new doors."Da: Lars nikkede og lagde armen om Astrids skuldre.En: Lars nodded and put an arm around Astrid's shoulders.Da: "Det kan være godt med lidt uorden nogle gange."En: "A little disorder can be good sometimes."Da: Og mens de talte om nye ideer og spændende projekter, indså de begge, at balance mellem disciplin og spontanitet måske var nøglen til store opdagelser i denne skrøbelige, forunderlige verden.En: And as they talked about new ideas and exciting projects, they both realized that a balance between discipline and spontaneity might be the key to great discoveries in this fragile, wondrous world.

What if those brief conversations - with a barista, a neighbor, or someone sitting next to us - matter far more than we realize?Gillian Sandstrom, a University of Sussex psychologist and author of Once Upon a Stranger, explores why we're so reluctant to talk to people we don't know, what happens when we do, and how seemingly small interactions can add up to a richer, happier, and more connected life.

In this episode, hosts Chris and Mecca speak with Dr. Danny Longman and Dr. Colin Shaw about the mismatch between humans and modern built environments, exploring both the negative biological impacts of living in industrialized cities and the positive effects of spending time in nature. Dr Danny Longman graduated from the University of Cambridge with a BA (Hons) in Natural Sciences (2005–08), followed by an MPhil (2008–09) and PhD (2011–14) in Human Evolution. He remained at Cambridge as a Postdoctoral Researcher (2015–19) before joining Loughborough University as a Lecturer. He has since been promoted to Senior Lecturer. Outside of work, Danny is a keen sportsman with a passion for ultra-endurance sport, nature, and travel. Dr. Colin Shaw graduated from the University of Western Ontario (Canada) with a BA (Hons) in Anthropology and Kinesiology (2000) and an MSc in Exercise Physiology (2000-02), then moved to the University of Cambridge, where he obtained an MPhil (2003-04) and a PhD (2004–08) in Biological Anthropology. He was a postdoctoral researcher at the University of Wisconsin-Madison (2008-2009), Penn State (2010-2011), and the University of Cambridge (2011-2015). He is now a Senior Lecturer at the University of Zurich. ------------------------------ Find the paper discussed in this episode: Longman, D.P. and Shaw, C.N.

Chris and Cristina sit down with Dr. Christine Harper, a biological anthropologist and Assistant Professor in the Department of Anthropology at the University of Washington, whose research focuses on the functional morphology and biomechanics of the human and nonhuman primate postcranial skeleton, with the goal of understanding how musculoskeletal form relates to locomotor behavior. She uses these patterns to place early hominins in context and reconstruct how they may have moved. Her work takes a quantitative, data-driven approach, using tools such as 3D geometric morphometrics, high-density semilandmarks, spherical harmonic analyses (SPHARM), whole-bone trabecular analyses, musculoskeletal modeling, and advanced statistical methods for high-dimensional data. She also develops and tests novel methods to address challenges in analyzing complex, multi-dimensional data. ------------------------------ Find the paper discussed in this episode: Harper, C.
