As NASA's Artemis program promises to take us back to the moon for the first time in fifty years, we consider what it means that as many as 10% of Americans don't believe we went there in the first place. Why, despite all the evidence, has the faked moon landing conspiracy persisted? We explore why this falsehood has such staying power and what it reveals about our relationship with science and its findings.   Meanwhile, lunar science continues unabated. Scientists open a lunar soil sample that's been vacuumed sealed for a half-century and receive a blast of four and a half billion-year-old solar wind.  Guests: Peter Knight – professor of American Studies, English and American Studies and conspiracy expert at the University of Manchester, U.K. Ryan Zeigler – planetary scientist and NASA's Lunar Sample Curator at Johnson Space Center Featuring music by Dewey Dellay and Jun Miyake Big Picture Science is part of the Airwave Media podcast network. Please contact advertising@airwavemedia.com to inquire about advertising on Big Picture Science.

It's still time for another BIG and BRILLIANT adventure into the world of science on this week’s Science Quest! In Science in the News, NASA is rethinking its plans for landing astronauts on the Moon, scientists believe the history of writing might be thousands of years older than we once thought, and Frederick Wilkinson from Queen Mary University of London explains why a recent boom in sea turtle numbers might not be quite as good news as it sounds. It’s time for your questions too. Akiva wants to know why your tummy gets smaller when you breathe in, and John Bridges from Leicester University answers Nicolas' question: How are asteroids made? Dangerous Dan introduces us to something a little different this week: the super-Earth exoplanet TOI-1452b, a strange and fascinating world far beyond our Solar System. Then in Battle of the Sciences, Mark Grabowski from Liverpool John Moores University steps into the ring to make the case for palaeoanthropology, the science that studies ancient humans and our evolutionary ancestors. Plus, Harry and Terry stumble across the asteroid belt in this week’s Space Cadets adventure as they continue their accidental journey through space. What do we learn about? How asteroids form in space Why NASA is changing its plans for Moon missions Why the history of writing might be older than we thought Why a sea turtle population boom may not be entirely good news What happens to your body when you breathe in The strange super-Earth exoplanet TOI-1452b How scientists study ancient humans and our ancestors All that and more on this week’s Science Quest!Join Fun Kids Podcasts+: https://funkidslive.com/plusSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

In this groundbreaking episode of the Tick Boot Camp Podcast, we interview Dr. Jayakumar Rajadas, a Stanford Medicine researcher who has discovered multiple breakthrough therapeutic candidates for Lyme disease, Babesia, and Bartonella. His work includes the discovery of Disulfiram's effectiveness against Lyme and Babesia, Azlocillin's potent activity against Lyme and Bartonella, and advanced targeted drug-delivery systems designed to preserve the gut microbiome. Dr. Jay's research has been featured in TIME Magazine (Azlocillin) and Forbes (Disulfiram), and connects deeply with the work of leading Lyme researchers, including Dr. Monica Embers (Tulane), Dr. Kim Lewis (Northeastern), Dr. Kenneth Liegner, and Dr. Brian Fallon (Columbia University). This interview delivers hope, science, and unprecedented detail on what may become the next generation of Lyme disease treatments. Key Topics Covered 1. How the Stanford Tick Initiative Sparked a New Era of Drug Discovery In 2012, Stanford launched a major initiative in response to community demand for better Lyme treatments. Dr. Rajadas was selected to lead drug development, focusing specifically on persistent/chronic Lyme disease, where few researchers were working. 2. Understanding Borrelia: Active vs. Stationary Forms & Why Chronic Lyme Persists Dr. J explains the three key survival modes of Borrelia burgdorferi: Active Phase The bacteria are replicating and metabolically active. Easier to kill with standard antibiotics. Stationary Phase Bacteria reach population limits and slow down growth. Represents early persistence mechanisms. Persister Forms Triggered by stressors like antibiotics (e.g., doxycycline). Bacteria fold into round bodies, spiral forms, or compact “cement-like” protective balls. These forms: Shut down metabolic pathways Resist penetration Survive antibiotic exposure Why Doxycycline Can Fail Doxycycline can induce persisters, causing Borrelia to form impenetrable protective shells rather than die. This is why many patients initially feel better, then relapse. 3. Disulfiram (Antabuse): Lyme + Babesia Breakthrough Featured in Forbes One of the biggest scientific shocks of the last decade: Discovery Through Stanford's high-throughput screening of FDA-approved drugs, Disulfiram emerged as a top hit. Clears Borrelia (including persistent forms) Clears Babesia — a major advantage over standard antibiotics Does NOT harm the gut microbiome Is already FDA-approved and widely used for alcohol aversion therapy Highly potent but requires careful dosing due to side effects in inflamed patients. Why Some Patients Improve, and Others Suffer Chronic Lyme patients already have heightened inflammation. Disulfiram is a powerful molecule whose polymorphic forms behave differently in different people. His lab developed: Less toxic formulations Buccal & sublingual delivery systems Rectal delivery options These may reduce neuropsychiatric side effects reported by some patients. Clinical Connections Dr. Kenneth Liegner pioneered clinical use and published cases Dr. Brian Fallon conducted NIH-listed clinical trials. Many clinicians now use Liegner's protocols. Real-world example: Matt shares the story of Brooke Stoddard (Generation Lyme), who regained his life after Disulfiram treatment under Dr. Liegner. 4. Azlocillin: The Antibiotic That TIME Magazine Called a Gamechanger If Disulfiram is the Lyme and Babesia weapon, Azlocillin may be the frontline tool for Lyme and Bartonella. Why Azlocillin Is Revolutionary Eradicates both active and persister forms of Borrelia. Destroys doxycycline-induced “cement ball” persisters by drilling into their vulnerable cell-wall synthesis pathways. Proven effective against Bartonella when paired with azithromycin, based on research by Dr. Monica Embers (Tulane) . The Cell-Wall Vulnerability Breakthrough Persisters STILL must maintain minimal cell-wall synthesis to survive. Azlocillin exploits this tiny vulnerability: It penetrates the protective sphere Breaks the “cement wall” Forces the bacteria out of hibernation Kills them rapidly This discovery is one of the biggest scientific leaps in Lyme research in a decade. The Delivery System That Protects the Gut Microbiome Azlocillin is extremely hydrophilic, making absorption difficult.Dr. Jay fixed this by creating: A magnesium-lipid nanoparticle formulation Designed to release in the upper intestine Avoiding the colon (where most microbiome lives) This allows: High bloodstream absorption Minimal microbiome damage Oral availability of a drug previously only available via IV Why Azlocillin May Be Better Than Disulfiram Hits Borrelia + Bartonella Stronger anti-inflammatory effects No polymorphism issues Fewer side effects Potent against persisters A company is preparing to bring his oral formulation to clinical trials by next year. 5. Loratadine (Claritin): The First Clue from 2012 Before Disulfiram and Azlocillin, Dr. Jay's lab identified Loratadine (Claritin) as a manganese transporter inhibitor of Borrelia. Why it mattered: Borrelia uniquely relies on manganese, not iron. Blocking manganese uptake may weaken the bacteria. The discovery went viral, with many patients reporting improvement even at OTC doses—though the binding affinity was weak. This project introduced the concept of drug repurposing for Lyme to the scientific community. 6. Melittin (Bee Venom) — The Micro-Needle Patch Alternative Bee venom therapy is widely used in the Lyme community, but risks stings and allergic reactions. Dr. J is developing: Melittin micro-needle patches Delivering the active peptide without stinging Using dissolvable, painless needles A safe, controlled, pharmaceutical-grade delivery approach This could modernize bee venom therapy and make it more accessible. 7. Mechanism of Brain Fog & Fatigue in Lyme: A Major Breakthrough Dr. Jay's lab published a neuroscience paper demonstrating: Outer Surface Protein (Osp) Nanoparticles Borrelia sheds lipid-coated outer membrane particles. These form stable nano-vesicles that: Enter the bloodstream Cross into the brain Cause mitochondrial dysfunction Reduce ATP production Result: Brain Fog, Fatigue, Cognitive Dysfunction This explains why neurological Lyme can persist even after bacterial levels drop. This work ties strongly to ongoing research at Columbia University under Dr. Brian Fallon. 8. Collaborations With World Leaders in Lyme Research Dr. J's research intersects with: Dr. Kim Lewis (Northeastern University) Reproduced and validated Disulfiram findings publicly. Helped launch interest in persister-killing therapies. Dr. Monica Embers (Tulane University) Demonstrated Azlocillin + Azithromycin effectiveness against Bartonella. One of the world's foremost experts in persistent infection models. Dr. Kenneth Liegner Early clinical pioneer of Disulfiram therapy. Published stunning recovery cases. Dr. Brian A. Fallon (Columbia University) Leading psychiatrist specializing in post-treatment Lyme. Conducted planned Disulfiram clinical trials. These collaborations form a powerful network accelerating treatment development. 9. New Anti-Inflammatory Discoveries: Galangin & More Dr. Jay recently co-authored a 2025 paper on: Galangin (Thai ginger rhizome extract) Which may reverse cardiac inflammation and fibrosis His team is also exploring other nutraceutical molecules for chronic inflammation relief in Lyme patients. 10. Dr. Jay's Personal Story of Illness and Hope He reveals for the first time: He was diagnosed with Stage 3 Multiple Myeloma Lost the ability to walk Suffered unbearable pain After cutting-edge therapies and research, he is now in full remission His message to Lyme patients: “There is ALWAYS hope.”

New research challenges assumptions about power line magnetic fields and sleep disruption, finding minimal impact on circadian rhythms even at high exposure levels. Scientists exposed mice to fifty hertz magnetic fields -- the same frequency emitted by power lines and household wiring -- during their sleep period to test effects on internal body clocks. The results were reassuring: magnetic fields caused only minor changes in movement patterns, while light exposure dramatically disrupted sleep hormones and activity levels. In This Episode Why researchers tested power line frequencies on mouse sleep cycles How magnetic field exposure compared to light exposure effects What these findings mean for your bedroom EMF concerns Featured Study Effects of 50 Hz magnetic fields on circadian rhythm control in mice.

Teens aren't getting enough sleep! And a two-decade study suggests it's getting worse. Scientists found that the number of high schoolers getting insufficient sleep — less than seven hours a night — has increased from 69% to 77%. The throughline? There wasn't one. Teens had bad sleep habits across most demographics, including race, gender and grade level. The findings were published this week in the journal JAMA.Interested in more science behind recent headlines?

Jake, Travis, Jack and Liv examine Jeffrey Epstein's long-running obsession with science, eugenics, transhumanism, and elite legitimacy. After Travis makes a quick tour through the conspiracy sludge surrounding the files, Jack reveals what the new documents reveal about Epstein's ties to prominent researchers, Harvard, cloning fantasies, designer-baby schemes, and the strange overlap between scientific prestige and grotesque ideology. Liv unpacks how right-wing figures have tried to spin Epstein's contacts with doctors and academics into anti-trans conspiracy bait, separating lurid fiction from what the documents actually show. Jake offers a couple of questionable movie ideas.

You beat yourself up after every slip. You call it accountability. The diet industry calls it discipline. Your body calls it cortisol.In this episode, Rick Taylar breaks down the 5 specific ways self-criticism is working against your weight loss, biologically, psychologically, and at the identity level. Then he shows you what people over 40 who actually break the cycle do the morning after a bad day. It's not what you'd expect.If you've been stuck in the try-fail-shame-repeat loop for years, this episode is the unlock.What You'll DiscoverWhy guilt after a slip doesn't just feel bad — it chemically schedules the next bingeHow the Identity Thermostat keeps you cycling back to your current weight no matter what you eatThe diet industry's hidden business model — and why your shame is the productThe Scientists vs. Judges framework and why you can only run one mode at a timeWhy treating your body like the enemy triggers a physiological fat-storage responseThe two-step morning-after protocol that breaks the shame spiral for goodKey ConceptsThe Identity ThermostatYour internal belief about the kind of person you are around food. No diet can override it. Every time you beat yourself up after a slip, you turn the dial down — cementing the belief that this is just who you are. The thermostat always returns you to its set point.The Shame SpiralTry a diet. Slip up. Feel shame. Eat to numb the shame. Feel more shame. The diet industry built its $250 billion business on this loop. Understanding it as a mechanical pattern — not a moral failing — is the first step out.Scientists vs. JudgesA Judge responds to a slip with a verdict: you're disgusting, you'll never change. A Scientist responds with a question: what was happening that day? What did my body actually need? One gives you something to use. The other poisons the well for tomorrow. You can't run both modes at once.The Morning-After ProtocolTwo steps. First, stability — give your body what it needs today (a decent meal, water, rest, a walk). Not punishment. Not heroics. Just stable. Second, curiosity — ask honestly what was happening yesterday and what you can learn from it. That's the whole protocol.From This Episode"You cannot hate your way to health. A body under constant attack goes into protection mode. It holds onto fat. It resists change. The hostility doesn't motivate your body. It digs in.""Suffering is not a strategy. Guilt is not data. And pain that doesn't produce insight is just pain.""Every time you beat yourself up, you're not casting a vote for accountability. You're casting a vote for who you are."

This year marks the 150th anniversary of the Battle of Little Bighorn, which is also called the Battle of the Greasy Grass or Custer's Last Stand. Ahead of commemorative events planned in late June near Crow Agency, Mont. are reports that the National Park Service (NPS) is removing signs sharing the Native perspective on the battle. Brian Bull (Nez Perce) of Buffalo's Fire reports. In late January, the Washington Post reported that President Trump ordered the removal of signage through his so-called “restoring truth and sanity to American history” directive, which pushes an ideology that the U.S. has an “unmatched record of advancing liberty, prosperity, and human flourishing.” The Battle of Little Bighorn Battlefield National Monument is on the list of sites. Wallace Bear Chum is chairman for the Northern Cheyenne Cultural Commission. Along with the Lakota Sioux and Arapaho, his tribe defeated Lieutenant Colonel George Armstrong Custer and 7th Cavalry Regiment in 1876. Bear Chum says federal officials and tribes need to discuss any changes per their government-to-government relationship. “We're still finding out what exact changes that they're going to make. And the Northern Cheyenne, it was a victory for us there. And our story's there, I mean how can you change that story? Y'know, there's no way you can do that. And what exactly are they trying to change?” The Northern Cheyenne Tribe unanimously approved a resolution last month to prevent any changes to markers, signage, and monuments that recognize Native people at Little Bighorn, a direct challenge to the Trump administration. Meanwhile, an email from the U.S. Secretary of the Interior's Office denies any signage has been taken down at the battlefield monument. It says parks are complying through an ongoing review process with subject-matter experts, tribal partners, and park leadership. Courtesy NPS An Alaska doctor has documented the first case of a rare and potentially risky infection from contact with a brown bear. Alaska Public Media’s Rachel Cassandra reports. The infection is known as “seal finger” and people typically get it handling seals, especially during seal hunting and processing, but in 2024, Dr. Benjamin Westley diagnosed it in a man who had cut his hand skinning a brown bear hunted on the Alaska Peninsula. He had three days of redness and painful swelling that didn't resolve with standard antibiotics. Dr. Westley says early tests “did not find anything definitive, so eventually he sent a tissue sample to a lab for more comprehensive analysis. “What was particularly shocking about this patient was he had a finger infection after skinning a brown bear that was not responding properly to antibiotics. So I sent special PCR tests, but I did not expect this bacteria.” Seal finger is not uncommon in Alaska and circumpolar regions, but Westley says this is only the second time this potentially more serious strain of the infection has been identified in the state. He diagnosed the first case too, in a patient whose finger infection had spread to his hip. “So when the report came back, I was shocked, because the first case was my own patient 10 years prior, and now it was the exact same bacteria for the second time in Alaska, but from a brown bear exposure, not from a seal exposure.” The infection is only a risk through direct or indirect animal contact. Other cases outside the state have been tied to a polar bear and a domestic cat. Scientists do not know if those animals caused seal finger because they had contact with a seal or through other means. In this case, the patient was treated at first with the wrong type of antibiotics used for bacterial infections. That allowed the infection to worsen and ultimately caused dead tissue, a damaged tendon and a bone infection. He recovered, but still has lingering finger stiffness. Seal finger is often misdiagnosed and a delay in treatment can cause serious problems, so Westley urges health care providers to consider treating patients for seal finger if they have an infection and had contact with seals, bears, or cats. That is even before getting bacterial test results. Westley says Alaskans can also protect themselves when hunting and processing seals or bears. “Try not to get injured through the skin, cut or let bacteria from an animal you’re working with into the tissue, because that can result in a manner of weird infections that can be hard for doctors to sort out.” And he says to wash your hands with soap if you get a wound.

I truly enjoyed my conversation with Naveen.Even with  all of his accomplishments, he's very humble and unassuming. When speaking about his mother, he fondly recalls stories of how his mother ran their household. Don't forget, at this time in India, women did not work. Their role was to make sure the home was well kept  with generations of family members all living under one roof. Naveen's father was a Senior Officer in the Royal Service and it was an arranged marriage that brought the couple together. Jayalakshmi  was an exceptionally talented writer of short stories and novels. Her first priority was at home taking care of the family. She never sat around. She carried a clip board around with her and wrote down her most cherished thoughts. On a daily basis, she kept all the financial records/household accounts of how much money was spent each day. She stayed up late every night to write in two different India languages.   Naveen learned from his maternal grandmother that his mother, the first of eight children dropped out of school after sixth grade because she wanted to get married and settled down. Culturally that was accepted and the norm for the most part.My guest, the youngest  of four children, had two sisters and one brother. As he says now, "I'm the last man standing." He grew up among elders including his aunt and uncle and his cousin all together in one household. Naveen shares three very touching stories about his mother including how and when she started her writing, her professional connections and her public recognition as a highly revered author.  Again, in India, this is unheard of and she did this without fanfare or calling attention to herself.Naveen's mom, didn't have much of a sense of humor according to her son. She was very practical and a no nonsense kind of woman yet happy with her life.To find out more about my guest you can use the link below. This event is scheduled for August 28, 2022.  https://thewashingtonmail.com/win-free-books/Books Naveen has written:A Hittite and a Shaman: At Queen Nefertari's Secret ServiceStarlight in the Dawn: The Poetic Priestess who chose to fightCandlelight in a Storm: Born to Be a Berliner"Candlelight In A Storm-Born To Be A Berliner" a biography of Naveen's wife who fled from WWII's violence, escaped from Communist regimes and traveled around the world. He is the recipient of the 2018 DaVinci Eye Finalist-The Eric Hoffer Award.  “Courageous and resilient women in history: Women are under-represented in history. A closer look and even fantasy in fiction may help," say Sradhir.My guest has written several books about women who have overcome difficulties, oppression and more. Mr. Sridhar continues " women ,famous or not,  who show their grit by way of resilience, adamance and courage, these women are quiet and not talked about, their stories untold. Instead of HIS-tory maybe it should be HER-story."Naveen Sridhar's website:   https://www.naveensridhar.com/Languages Naveen Speaks: English, German, Hindi, French, Kannada, Spanish, Tamil, Urdu   "Should Have Listened To My Mother" is an ongoing conversation about mothers/female role models and the roles they play in our lives. Jackie's guests are open and honest and answer the question, are you who you are today because of, or in spite of, your mother and so much more. You'll be amazed at what the responses are.Gina Kunadian wrote this 5 Star review on Apple Podcast:SHLTMM TESTIMONIAL GINA KUNADIAN JUNE 18, 2024“A Heartfelt and Insightful Exploration of Maternal Love”Jackie Tantillo's “Should Have Listened To My Mother” Podcast is a treasure and it's clear why it's a 2023 People's Choice Podcast Award Nominee. This show delves into the profound impact mother and maternal role models have on our lives through personal stories and reflections.Each episode offers a chance to learn how different individuals have been shaped by their mothers' actions and words. Jackie skillfully guides these conversations, revealing why guests with similar backgrounds have forged different paths.This podcast is a collection of timeless stories that highlight the powerful role of maternal figures in our society.

Scientists revive 5,000-year-old bacteria resistant to modern antibiotics. Pentagon confirms UFO declassification in progress. NASA discovers brain-shaped nebula. Researcher claims Great Pyramids are 12,000 years old and built by lost civilization.This week's Fringe News Briefing covers three stories from the past seven days. On February 23rd, scientists announced they discovered bacteria frozen in a Romanian ice cave for 5,000 years. The bacterial strain Psychrobacter SC65A-3 was tested against 28 modern antibiotics from 10 drug classes. It's resistant to 10 of them—drugs invented in the last century that this ancient organism has never been exposed to. The discovery is fueling panspermia theories suggesting life on Earth may have extraterrestrial origins. If bacteria can carry advanced resistance genes without prior exposure, where did that genetic information come from? Some researchers argue these organisms might have arrived on Earth already equipped with survival mechanisms from another world.Second story: Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth confirmed this week that the Pentagon is actively working on President Trump's directive to declassify government files on UFOs and aliens. Hegseth said "we've got our people working on it right now" and posted Trump's order on social media with alien and saluting emojis. The All-Domain Anomaly Resolution Office (AERO) now has over 2,000 UAP cases in its database. Pentagon spokesman Sean Parnell confirmed the Department of Defense "looks forward to working with the interagency to fulfill the president's directive." Harvard astronomer Avi Loeb suggested declassifying events from 50 years ago since technologies used half a century ago are no longer strategically sensitive.Third briefing: NASA released images from the James Webb Space Telescope showing a nebula that looks like a human brain suspended in space. Scientists call it "the exposed cranium." The discovery is reviving theories that the universe itself might be a living, conscious organism.Then we go deep on a paper published February 25th by a researcher affiliated with the Autonomous University of Barcelona claiming the Great Pyramids of Giza weren't built by ancient Egyptians. He argues they're 12,000 years old and constructed by a lost super-civilization with technology we still don't understand. This rewrites human history and connects to the ancient bacteria discovery—could an advanced civilization 12,000 years ago have been doing antimicrobial treatments, creating resistant bacteria that got frozen during a cataclysmic event? Two scientists in different fields arriving at evidence of advanced pre-historic activity.https://www.youtube.com/@InfiniteRabbitHolePodcast

The first shipment of tariff-free UK beef has arrived on shop shelves in the United States. It's part of the UK-US trade deal which allows a reciprocal movement of 13,000 tonnes of US and UK beef across the Atlantic. For British farmers, the government claims the deal is worth £70 million a year, if the quota is fully used. We ask a trade expert how significant it will be.All week we're talking about the varied pressures on farm land, from energy production to growing food. Deepdale Farm on the North Norfolk coast has sandy loamy soil. For many years one of its fields produced a healthy crop of carrots, but continual production, combined with high rainfall, led to a catastrophic degradation of the soil and in 2020 the field slipped, and flooded the village below. It was a massive shock and led to a wholesale re-assessment of how the land is managed. The farm's since become organic and introduced cover crops and flood protection systems.Farmers are being asked to join a project to investigate whether growing a variety of the common dandelion could solve a worldwide shortage of natural rubber. Natural rubber production has been falling in its native sites in South East Asia because of disease and climate change. Scientists are breeding a special variety of dandelion indoors, without soil, in hydroponic or aeroponic systems, and harvesting it to create high quality rubber.

Springtime brings warmer weather, blooming flowers, and animals returning after winter. As days grow longer, sunlight signals plants to grow and animals to become active again. Trees grow new leaves, insects emerge, and many animals begin raising their young. Scientists study spring to understand how temperature, sunlight, and weather patterns affect living things. Spring shows how nature wakes up after winter and begins a new cycle of growth and life.

DRAMA! Bird drama! Here are some further-reading links if you want to verify that I’m not vilifying anyone: Buff-breasted Buttonquail: An image claimed to be of this species revealed Buff-breasted Buttonquail: Smoke & Mirrors A review of specimens of Buff-breasted Button-quail Turnix olivii suggests serious concern for its conservation outlook A painted button quail: Show transcript: Welcome to Strange Animals Podcast. I'm your host, Kate Shaw. Back in episode 136 we talked about the button quail, because that episode was about tiny animals and the button quail is really tiny. But let's revisit the button quail this month, because we have a mystery associated with a particular species of button quail. Button quails generally live in grasslands and are actually more closely related to shore and ocean birds like sandpipers and gulls than to actual quails, but it's not very closely related to any other living birds. It can fly but it mostly doesn't. Instead it depends on its coloring to hide it in the grass where it lives. It's mostly brown with darker and lighter speckled markings, relatively large feet, and a short little tail. It eats seeds and insects along with other small invertebrates. The button quail is especially interesting because the female is more brightly colored than the male, although not by much. In some species the female may have bright white markings, while in others her speckled markings are crisper than the males. The female is the one who calls to attract a male and who defends her territory from other females. The female even has a special bulb in her throat that she can inflate to make a loud booming call. The male incubates the eggs and takes care of the chicks when they hatch. Baby button quails are fuzzy and active like domestic chicken babies but they're only about the size of a bumblebee. In many species, as soon as the female has laid her eggs, she leaves them and the male and goes on to attract another male for her next clutch of eggs. The various species of button quail live in different areas, including Africa, Asia, and Australia. The species we're talking about today is the buff-breasted button quail, which is native to one small area of Queensland, Australia. It grows about 9 inches long, or 23 cm, which is big for a button quail, most of which are closer to the size of sparrows, and it's reddish-brown with darker and lighter speckles. It's critically endangered due to habitat loss and introduced animals like cats and cattle. There are only an estimated 50 individuals alive today. But that's only an estimate, because no one has actually for sure seen a buff-breasted button quail since 1922. Also, I'm going to call it the BBBQ from now on because that name is hard to say. The 1922 specimen was shot by a naturalist who was collecting specimens for a museum, which was regrettably common at the time and led to a lot of endangered species being driven to extinction. The bird was already rare in 1922 and that was the last anyone saw of it until 1985, when someone reported seeing one. People flocked to the area in hopes of spotting it, but while there were lots of sightings, no one got a good picture of a BBBQ. All the pictures, and all the recordings of its calls, turned out to be of another species of button quail, a very similar bird called the painted button quail. It's been 100 years since the bird was last seen, so while we have lots of museum specimens, we don't have any modern sightings. That means two things. Either the buff-breasted button quail is probably extinct…or it never actually existed in the first place. There are two other species of button quail that live in the same areas where the BBBQ is found, the painted button quail and the brown quail. They're smaller but otherwise look very similar, especially the painted button quail. Maybe people were mistaking larger individuals of painted button quails as a different species. In 2018, a team of scientists from the University of Queensland conducted a search for the BBBQ. All they found were painted button quails. But they discovered something surprising that had never been documented before. During the breeding season, the female painted button quail's feathers are much more reddish-brown, while the rest of the year the feathers on her back are more gray-brown. The team also studied as many BBBQ skins as they could track down from museums, where they learned something else surprising. It turns out that it's not any larger than the painted button quail, which grows up to 8 inches long, or 20 cm. So the birds are the same size and during part of the year, they have almost identical plumage. Hmm. That doesn't mean the buff-breasted button quail never existed. One very distinctive difference between the painted and the buff-breasted species is eye color, with the former having red eyes and the latter having yellow. As far as I know a genetic study hasn't been carried out on the museum specimens, but it's likely that at least some of the specimens—maybe all of them—really are BBBQs. Scientists and bird enthusiasts are still looking for the bird, and that has led to a strange controversy. In early 2022, a naturalist named John Young published a photo on Facebook of what he said was a male buff-breasted button quail on a nest, a photo taken by a camera trap in a secret location. The location had to be secret so that no one would try to find the birds and scare them away or damage a nest. Young said he had 16 other photos of BBBQs but wasn't going to share them until he was ready to publish his findings. He was also raising money to continue his studies at the site. Another naturalist thought there was something fishy about the photo. He discovered that the picture is actually a cropped and flipped photo of a painted button quail bird and nest reportedly taken at a different site—published in 2018 by John Young himself and labeled by him as a painted button quail. Young had reused one of his own photos and assumed no one would notice. But it gets worse. Back in 2013, Young got photographs of another extremely rare Australian bird, the night parrot. One day we'll have an episode about it. It was such a big deal that he was offered a job by the Australian Wildlife Conservancy, or AWC, to study the night parrot and the buff-breasted button quail. He documented sightings and produced photos of both birds, but he didn't stay in that job too long. That's because some people started getting suspicious of his parrot photos. After an inquiry into the night parrot photos, the AWC concluded that the eggs in a photo of a night parrot nest were probably fake. And Young's dubious photos go back even farther. In 2006 he claimed to have discovered a new species of parrot in Queensland, but while initially the Queensland government supported learning about the new species, it withdrew its support when the photo turned out to be…suspicious. It looked like Young had altered the coloration of a bird to make it look like a new species. When an expert requested the original photographs, Young said he'd deleted them. More recently, the 2018 painted button quail photo and the supposed 2022 BBBQ photo were examined by a forensic photography expert. Young had removed the metadata from both so no one could tell where they were taken, but there's a little white stone in both pictures that's identical, along with many other identical details. The problem with fake sightings and photographs is that it's actually making things worse for the buff-breasted button quail. The AWC and other conservation groups are trying to get the bird listed as endangered, which means funding for research and conservation. Now all that is in jeopardy because it's not clear if there have actually been any sightings of the bird at all. Hopefully the buff-breasted button quail is still around and someone will get genuine photos of it soon so it can be protected and studied. That's assuming it's a real bird in the first place. Thanks for your support, and thanks for listening!

Anish Agarwal went from MIT PhD researcher to founding Traversal, an AI company building intelligent site reliability engineering agents for the enterprise. In this episode, he breaks down what it actually takes to lead an AI first company when your entire career was built inside a lab.This is not your typical founder story. Anish never planned to start a company. He was on track to be a professor at Columbia when generative AI hit and rewired his trajectory. Now he is two years into the CEO seat, recruiting top talent away from high paying jobs, and building a product at the intersection of causal machine learning and agentic systems.We get into the mechanics of that transition. How do you go from publishing papers to pitching investors? What does storytelling look like when you are convincing engineers to leave comfortable roles and bet on your vision? And what happens when you start a company without even having an idea?Anish also tackles a question the AI space is wrestling with right now. Is a PhD becoming table stakes for building an AI first company? His answer is more nuanced than you might expect. It is not the degree. It is the training. Reading the landscape, navigating uncertainty, and evaluating models with scientific rigor. Those skills separate builders from everyone else.Key TakeawaysThe best AI founders are not chasing credentials. They are leveraging research instincts to read where models and architectures are heading, and that foresight creates real competitive edges.Starting a company without an idea is not reckless if you have the right co founders. Anish and his team showed up to a WeWork every day and treated idea exploration like a research problem until the right opportunity clicked.Storytelling is the most underrated leadership skill in technical companies. Whether you are recruiting, raising capital, or explaining your product to nontechnical buyers, packaging complexity into a clear narrative is what moves people.Every decision as a founder is a bet, including the decision to do nothing. Viewing inaction as a strategic choice changes how you prioritize and how fast you move.As AI writes more code, someone has to make sure it works in production. That gap between code generation and reliability is where Traversal lives, and it is only getting wider.Timestamped Highlights(00:36) What Traversal does and why AI powered site reliability engineering is a massive unsolved problem in enterprise software(02:00) The moment generative AI changed everything and why Anish walked away from a career he loved(08:43) How Traversal found its problem without starting with an idea, and the co founder dynamic that made it work(14:29) The real advantage of a PhD in AI and why it has nothing to do with the letters after your name(19:49) Advice for PhDs entering the job market on how to position research experience so hiring managers actually get it(20:29) Two years into the CEO role, what Anish wishes he had known and the skills that matter most for early stage foundersWords That Stuck"If AI is writing your code, it has to fix it too. And right now it is only writing the code."Founder PlaybookPick a problem that sustains you for decades. Anish looks for problems that keep getting more complicated because that is where long term value compounds. If the problem has a ceiling, your company does too.Treat recruiting like a core product skill. Painting a compelling picture of the mission is not a nice to have. It is the engine that pulls exceptional talent away from safe, well paying jobs.Think of everything as a series of bets. Fundraising, hiring, product decisions, even waiting. Inaction is a bet too. Once you see it that way, you stop overthinking and start moving with intention.Subscribe to The Tech Trek wherever you listen.

A Texas pecan farmer spent years rethinking whether he needed so many chemicals to grow food. He cut back on things like weedkillers, but when it came to ditching insecticides, crop pests posed a challenge. That's what brought him together with a famous bat scientist — who helped him build an insect-eating army of bats.

“Patients are waiting…”Those simple but profound words from Dr. Steve St. Onge set the tone for this conversation, and for why this work matters so deeply.Science has always fascinated me. I often joke that I'm not smart enough to be a scientist, but I have endless respect for the people who are, especially those who can take incredibly complex ideas and explain them in a way the rest of us can truly understand. This is why I know you're going to love my conversation with Dr. St. Onge. Steve is the Chief Business Officer at Clarametyx. Dr. St. Onge is a PharmD and MBA with more than 15 years of experience spanning clinical care, medical affairs, and leadership in biotechnology. What stands out most about Steve isn't just his impressive résumé, it's his ability to clearly explain the science, the strategy, and, most importantly, the urgency behind the work Clarametyx is doing.I first met Steve in person at the North American Cystic Fibrosis Conference (NACFC) in Seattle, where we had the opportunity to really connect and talk about Clarametyx's approach. Their work focuses on targeting biofilm-driven inflammation and progressive lung damage, an area of significant unmet need for people living with chronic respiratory diseases, including cystic fibrosis. In this conversation, Steve breaks down what biofilms are, why they're so difficult to treat, and how Clarametyx is thinking differently about tackling the inflammation and lung damage they cause.We also talk about the long road of drug development, the responsibility that comes with working in rare disease, and why the phrase “patients are waiting” isn't just a saying, it's a call to action. This episode is an honest, accessible, and hopeful look at science in motion, and at the people behind the research who are driven by the patients counting on progress.If you've ever wanted a clearer understanding of how innovative science moves from idea to impact—and why time matters so much, his is a conversation you won't want to miss.

A massive part of Earth's surface has been missing for over 20 million years… until now. Scientists have just uncovered a shocking geological mystery — a section of the planet that vanished without a trace millions of years ago. Where did it go? How did it disappear? And most importantly... what does its discovery mean for Earth's future? Dive into the latest scientific breakthrough that's rewriting everything we thought we knew about Earth's ancient history. Could this be connected to plate shifts, mass extinctions... or something more bizarre?

In this lively episode of Tangent Station, the hosts dive deep into an unexpected yet fascinating scientific breakthrough: smart underwear that tracks human flatulence. Scientists at the University of Maryland have developed underwear that monitors gas output throughout the day. The surprising results show that people are passing gas much more frequently than previously estimated, with some participants releasing up to 59 emissions a day. The episode weaves humor and curiosity as the hosts explore the implications of the Human Flatus Atlas, from microbiome raves to the relationship between science and societal norms surrounding flatulence.

Dr. Al Grauer hosts. Dr. Albert D. Grauer ( @Nmcanopus ) is an observational asteroid hunting astronomer. Dr. Grauer retired from the University of Arkansas at Little Rock in 2006. travelersinthenight.org From July & August 2025. Today's 2 topics: - After the Earth the Sun is the most important object for human beings in the Universe.  It is the energy source which produces our food and is the source for all of the energy and motion around us except for geothermal and nuclear energy sources. The Sun is normally well behaved the exception being solar storms which can dump incredible amounts of energy onto the Earth. Scientists are working hard to understand solar super storms to enable humans to mitigate the trillions of dollars damage one could cause to our modern electronic technology.   - The US National Science Foundation's Daniel K. Inouye Solar Telescope is the worlds largest solar telescope. It is perched 10,000 feet  above sea level on the top of Haleakalā on the Hawaiian island Maui.   Its location and 4 meter mirror enables the Inouye to see details in the solar atmosphere as small in diameter as the island of Manhattan. 3D maps of the solar atmosphere produced by the Inouye's new Visible Tunable Filter will enable humans to put their equipment into a safe mode when necessary.   We've added a new way to donate to 365 Days of Astronomy to support editing, hosting, and production costs.  Just visit: https://www.patreon.com/365DaysOfAstronomy and donate as much as you can!

The word is spreading through the education community that a new kind of artificial intelligence enables students to complete an entire course with a single prompt. As one educator explained, with just a simple setup, a student can put an entire course on autopilot and go back to playing video games. It's called Agentic AI, and it has sparked a new round of handwringing and calls to go back to blue books and pencils. To kick off 2026, the creators of SAMR, TPACK, Triple E, SETI, and the Gen AI U frameworks met to unravel how this technology may impact teaching, learning, and the future of proving that a student's degree or credential actually indicates competence. The big takeaway is that the solutions start with asking the right questions.

Scientists have long thought that new species took a very long time to emerge. This thinking has now changed dramatically. On an island in the Galápagos, researchers Rosemary and Peter Grant discovered that a hybrid union of two distinct species of finch produced descendants different from any of the island's known species — and the speciation happened in just two generations.More info and transcript at BirdNote.org.Want more BirdNote?

Show Summary:In this episode, Natasha and Claire explore the fascinating world of robots and robotics—from the driver's seat of their Tesla cars to the competition floor of First In Texas robotics. Natasha shares firsthand insights from her work in competitive robotics, while both hosts reflect on how robotics is already shaping our everyday lives.You'll also hear the inspiring story of George Devol, the inventor who helped launch the modern robotics industry, and why his legacy still matters today. The conversation dives into how and when students should be introduced to robotics, practical ways to spark curiosity, and why robotics education is more important than ever in preparing the next generation for a rapidly evolving world.Plus, the episode wraps with exciting recent feats in STEM that highlight just how fast innovation is moving.Whether you're an educator, parent, tech enthusiast, or just robot-curious, this episode offers insight, inspiration, and a glimpse into the future.ENGINEER SPOTLIGHT: George Devol (1912-2011) was an American inventor who helped start the modern robotics industry. George, fascinated by circuits and mechanics, loved experimenting with electronics and machines. In 1954, he patented the first programmable robotic arm, a machine that could move objects automatically by following coded instructions. Working with engineer Joseph Engelberger, he built Unimate, the world's first industrial robot. In 1961, it was put to work in a car factory, handling hot metal parts and doing dangerous jobs that once put people at risk. Devol's invention changed manufacturing forever and helped pave the way for the robots we use today.Links from the Show:Related The STEM Space Podcast Episodes 105.
