A parrot's eyes are located on the sides of its head. So, if it wants to look at something — say, a delicious piece of fruit — it has to cock its head one way or the other do it. And if it looks with its left eye, then it uses its left foot. Scientists call this handedness. That's when one hand or foot is used consistently over the other for doing complex tasks. Sulphur-crested Cockatoos are almost all left-handed ... that is... left-footed!More info and transcript at BirdNote.org.Want more BirdNote? Subscribe to our weekly newsletter.

Emanuel Swedenborg was an 18th‑century scientist who claimed to travel between heaven, hell, and even other planets. Was he a mystic genius or a dreamer lost in visions? In this episode, we uncover how his strange ideas shaped spiritualism, occultism, and even modern paranormal culture.–––Emanuel Swedenborg: Mystic, Scientist… and Proto‑Occultist?In this episode, we dive into the extraordinary life and afterlife of Emanuel Swedenborg—the Enlightenment thinker who claimed to converse with angels, demons, and spirits from other worlds. His doctrine of “correspondences,” the belief that every physical thing mirrors a deeper spiritual reality, became a cornerstone for mystics who wanted to read the universe as a vast symbolic text.We explore:Swedenborg's visions of the afterlife and cosmic journeysHow his writings influenced Helena Blavatsky, Aleister Crowley, the Fox Sisters, and Daniel Dunglas HomeWhy poets like William Blake and thinkers like Ralph Waldo Emerson drew inspiration from himThe surprising role he played in the Theosophical Society, New Thought movement, and the occult revivalFrom séance parlors to cosmic philosophy, Swedenborg's influence ripples through spiritualism, mysticism, UFO lore, and modern occult culture. If you've ever wondered how Enlightenment science collided with fringe spirituality, this is the episode for you.

Donate (no account necessary) | Subscribe (account required) Join Bryan Dean Wright, former CIA Operations Officer, as he dives into today's top stories shaping America and the world. In this episode of The Wright Report, Bryan breaks down President Trump's one trillion dollar deal with Saudi Arabia, the political risk created by the lingering 9/11 lawsuit, the White House's continued push for foreign labor, and new polling that shows major headwinds for Republicans. The global brief then moves to Russian sabotage across Europe, Chinese made vehicles spying on Western militaries, and new research from Australia on autism and prenatal nutrition. Trump Signs One Trillion Dollar Saudi Deal: President Trump and Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman agreed to sweeping partnerships that span nuclear energy, rare earth mining, financial services, liquified natural gas, advanced AI chips, and the sale of up to forty eight F-35 fighter jets. The deal promises major job gains in states like Texas, Pennsylvania, Wyoming, Arizona, and Louisiana. Bryan notes that Congress must still approve the fighter sales and that Israel will require a guaranteed technological edge before any jets reach Riyadh. He also warns that the 9/11 families' lawsuit against the Saudi government could disrupt everything. Court filings allege that two Saudi linked men assisted the first hijackers upon arrival in the United States, and a judge has ruled that the evidence is strong enough to move forward. Foreign Labor Controversy and Political Fallout: Trump defended his plan to use H-1B workers for new chip and battery factories, arguing that American workers are not trained for these roles. He acknowledged that the stance is hurting his poll numbers but insisted that "smart people" support his position. Bryan outlines why many conservatives see this as a repeat of past Big Tech abuses and why Silicon Valley's financial support could become a liability for the White House if working class voters feel sidelined. Polls show two thirds of Americans believe the country is on the wrong track, Trump's approval rating sits around thirty eight percent in public surveys, and Democrats hold a fourteen point lead on the congressional generic ballot. Economic Signals Remain Mixed: The trade deficit fell twenty four percent as Americans purchased more U.S. made goods, suggesting the tariffs are strengthening domestic manufacturing. Construction data shows modest growth in housing but weakness in commercial projects. Foreclosures are rising, and Zillow reports that homeowners now face sixteen thousand dollars in annual upkeep on average. Bryan cautions that unless working families feel real relief by summer, the midterms could be difficult for Republicans. Russia Sabotages European Rail Lines: Poland confirmed that Russian intelligence directed two sabotage attempts on rail lines used to deliver weapons and aid to Ukraine. Explosives were placed to derail a passenger train, and investigators arrested two Ukrainian men recruited through online channels. Bryan connects this attack to a wider hybrid war across Europe directed by the GRU, including recent attempts to set off explosives in air cargo shipments. Italy's defense minister declared that Europe is under attack, although Bryan notes that European militaries are too hollowed out to respond meaningfully for years to come. China's Electric Cars and Buses Act as Spy Platforms: The United Kingdom warned that Chinese made hybrid and electric vehicles can record conversations and transmit data back to Beijing. Norway found that Chinese electric buses can be hacked and remotely controlled even in deep underground environments. Israel seized seven hundred Chinese government vehicles after discovering data gathering sensors. Bryan reminds listeners that he first warned of this surveillance threat years ago and says Western governments are only now catching up. Australia Links Prenatal Nutrition to Lower Autism Risk: Researchers found that prenatal supplements containing folic acid, vitamin B12, vitamin D, iodine, and other micronutrients are associated with a thirty percent reduction in autism risk. Scientists suspect a connection to the mother's gut microbiome and its influence on fetal development. Bryan notes that similar gut based treatments have shown promise in Europe and the United States and encourages listeners to remain open to emerging science.   "And you shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free." - John 8:32     Keywords: Trump Saudi one trillion dollar deal, F-35 sale approval Congress, Saudi 9/11 lawsuit al-Bayoumi al-Thumairy, Trump H-1B foreign workers battery factories, U.S. trade deficit drop tariffs, Poland Russia rail sabotage Ukraine, Chinese electric vehicle spying UK Norway Israel, prenatal vitamins autism Australia study

Did you know there's a legend about an ancient flying machine in India called the Vimana? These fascinating machines are mentioned in old texts like the Vedas and Ramayana, where they're described as floating palaces or chariots that could soar through the skies. Some even believe these flying wonders were powered by advanced technology, way ahead of their time. The idea has sparked debates, with some saying it's just mythology while others wonder if ancient civilizations knew more than we think. Scientists and historians are skeptical because there's no solid evidence of Vimana being real, but the descriptions in the texts are super detailed and intriguing. Learn more about your ad choices.

Many birds that play do it alone by swinging, sliding, or rolling around. Some species interact with objects, like dropping a stone and picking it up again. But a select few birds – like these crows – play with other members of their species. Scientists call this social play. It appears to have implications for the evolution of brain size among birds as well as our own species.¡Escuche este episodio en español!More info and transcript at BirdNote.org.Want more BirdNote?

Garth Heckman The David Alliance TDAgiantSlayer@Gmail.com      What Separates Us From the Animals Do you know how biologists evaluate life? It is in terms of the capacity to experience pain, the more the pain, the higher the life form. A worm experiences little pain, but a dog can actually experience moods. Have you ever noticed that? Haven't you ever seen a dog pout. Dogs can actually grieve over people, and I understand that over at the tracts in West Memphis there are some people who grieve over dogs. I'm not sure. Scientist say that man is at the top of the biological scale because he has the keenest ability to experience pain. What separates us from the animals, I would suggest, is not only our ability to feel pain; rather, it is our ability to feel pain vicariously for others.   But not only that but feel the possibility of pain if we do not change our ways. Have you ever seen an obese parent sitting there at a restaurant and their child is pounding down cookies, soda and ice cream. And you feel sorry for them… The question is not “do you know then well enough to speak into their life… even if you felt tremendous pain for them… the question is would they be willing to listen to you?      Psalm 144:Set a guard, O Lord, over my mouth; Keep watch over the door of my lips [to keep me from speaking thoughtlessly. 4 Do not incline my heart to [consent to or tolerate] any evil thing, Or to practice deeds of wickedness With men who plan and do evil; And let me not eat of their delicacies (be tempted by their gain). 5 Let the righteous [thoughtfully] strike (correct) me—it is a kindness [done to encourage my spiritual maturity]. It is [the choicest anointing] oil on the head; Let my head not refuse [to accept and acknowledge and learn from] it;   Crazy that David would ask God to send people into his life that would be willing to speak into his life things that he may not want to hear. But don't miss the point… he sees this verse in comparison to the previous verses… i.e. God make sure there is someone who speak boldly and bluntly into my life so that I do not end up like the wicked.    Maybe the ultimate betrayal is someone who sees the trail of pain and regret you are starting out on and they say nothing, they do nothing they just let you walk off into emptiness… And if that could be true, why wouldn't you pray a prayer like David and ask for Godly voices in your life. It would be a great prayer… think about it. 

Armon, Will Foster, and Miss2Bees are back after some time apart. Miss2Bees debuts her new segment What's Buzzing on These Streets, calling out Tory Lanez's own appeal filings as an effective admission in the Megan Thee Stallion case and unpacking how legal journalism and misinformation are failing the culture (3:40), before the team revisits Omarion vs. Mario, live vocals, and early-2000s R&B egos (9:40). They then dive into “Rory-Gate,” resurfaced tweets, Twitter Spaces damage control, and what the saga reveals about anti-Blackness and how Black women are routinely targeted (16:38). Next, a deep breakdown of the 2026 GRAMMY nominations across Hip-Hop, R&B, Album and Song of the Year, touching Bad Bunny's run, K-Pop Demon Hunters, Cardi B and Gunna snubs, Mariah the Scientist discourse, and how kids shape the charts (31:58). From there, the gang reviews new music—Cardi B, Latto & Jeezy's “Everytime” remix and whether it should've been on the original album (55:19), Meek Mill's Indie Pack Vol. 1 and his “Fourth of July” visual, hood PTSD, and AI chains (57:40), Summer Walker's Finally Over It trilogy finale and where it ranks next to Over It and Still Over It (1:06:45), plus Wale's everything is a lot., his immigrant-parent text thread, catalog, and longevity (1:13:28). In this week's Board Meeting, Armon opens up about being laid off in the VIBE/Rolling Stone merger and uses that to examine media consolidation, Black writers and label staff being cut, DEI rollbacks, lazy A&R, AI artists, the death of discovery, and what a return to Black-run boutique systems could look like (1:22:25). Will then introduces his new discovery segment, spotlighting rising Southern-rooted artist Gabriel Jacoby and why his warm, live-instrument, Sunday-clean-the-house soul feels like the kind of music listeners can really connect to right now (1:50:16).

Scientists just discovered ant queens that give birth to two completely different species - not twins, but actual separate species hatching from the same mother. But what the if every animal on Earth reproduced this way? Suddenly every pregnancy becomes a species reveal party, dairy farms need to manage herds where some cows give birth to regular calves while others pop out Ice Age yaks, and your family reunions include relatives from entirely different species sitting around the same table. Pet stores become absolute chaos when golden retrievers randomly give birth to wolves, and nobody knows which species they're getting until it hatches or emerges. Your family tree stops being a tree and starts looking like a biological choose-your-own-adventure book. This bizarre discovery from Science Magazine proves that when biology textbooks try to define species boundaries, nature just laughs and does whatever it wants anyway. Reproduction just got way weirder than anyone thought possible.

Many powerful figures were connected to Jeffrey Epstein not by accident, but because his world provided access, influence, and a level of secrecy that appealed to elites. The piece discusses how prominent individuals across politics, business, and media continued associating with Epstein even after serious allegations were known, suggesting that they viewed the benefits of proximity—connections, financial doors opening, and social credibility—as outweighing the risks. Epstein wasn't operating on the fringe; he was embedded in elite circles that helped legitimize him.It also emphasizes how structural protections helped shield both Epstein and those around him. Institutions with the authority to intervene often failed to act, while wealthy and influential associates had the power to suppress scrutiny and shape the narrative. The scale of elite involvement is portrayed as a key reason full accountability has never materialized: exposing Epstein fully would require exposing the network that enabled him, and that remains a threshold the system has avoided crossing.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-epstein-chronicles--5003294/support.

So 2024 was packed with wild archaeological discoveries that totally shook up what we thought we knew. One of the coolest? The "Blinkerwall" — an underwater structure in the Baltic Sea that's over 10,000 years old and might've been a reindeer trap built by ancient hunter-gatherers. Researchers also found an ancient Chinese city that was way more advanced than expected, complete with surprisingly modern-looking infrastructure. In Egypt, new tombs revealed some unusual burial practices and artifacts we've never seen before. And in South America, a strange network of stone lines turned out to be part of an ancient communication system. It's been a year of serious "wait, what?!" moments in archaeology.

Thanks to a governance approach that combines pollution control with climate action, China has seen the growth rate ofanthropogenic emissions ofnitrous oxide level off and steadily decline since 2013. N2O is a greenhouse gas far more potent than carbon dioxide.得益于将污染防治与气候行动相结合的治理模式，中国自2013年起已实现人为源一氧化二氮排放增速趋缓并稳步下降。一氧化二氮（N2O）是一种温室气体，其温室效应远强于二氧化碳。China's experience shows that economic growth does not necessarily mean higher emissions of this heat-trapping gas.中国的实践经验表明，经济增长并非必然导致这种吸热气体排放增加。The remarks were made on Saturday by Han Yinghui, associate professor at the University of Chinese Academy of Sciences' college of resources and environment, at an event on controlling non-carbon dioxide, or non-CO2, greenhouse gas emissions. The event was held at the Chinese pavilion on the sidelines of the 30th session of the Conference of the Parties to the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change, or COP30, in Belem, Brazil.上述观点由中国科学院大学资源与环境学院副教授韩颖慧于周六在一场非二氧化碳（non-CO2）温室气体减排相关活动中提出。该活动在巴西贝伦举行的《联合国气候变化框架公约》第三十次缔约方大会（COP30）期间，于中国馆举办。"N2O is decisive for achieving our temperature goals," Han said, highlighting the importance of anthropogenic N2O emissions control.韩颖慧指出，“一氧化二氮（N2O）减排对实现温控目标具有决定性意义”，并强调了人为源一氧化二氮排放管控的重要性。The Paris Agreement aim is to keep global temperature rise this century below 2 C above pre-industrial levels, with efforts to limit the increase to 1.5 C. Scientists increasingly agree that keeping global warming under 1.5 C is essential to avoid severe and catastrophic impacts.《巴黎协定》的目标是将本世纪全球气温上升幅度控制在工业化前水平以上2℃以内，并努力将升温幅度限制在1.5℃以内。科学家们日益达成共识，将全球变暖控制在1.5℃以内对于避免严重且灾难性的影响至关重要。As the third most significant long-lived greenhouse gas, N2O has a global warming potential nearly 300 times that of CO2 and remains in the atmosphere for more than a century, Han said. Globally, most N2O emissions come from agriculture, but energy, waste, and industrial sources also contribute. While agriculture produces the largest share, industrial sources offer the greatest potential for reduction.韩颖慧介绍，作为第三大重要长寿命温室气体，一氧化二氮（N2O）的全球变暖潜能值约为二氧化碳（CO2）的300倍，且在大气中可留存一个多世纪。全球范围内，一氧化二氮排放主要来源于农业领域，能源、废弃物及工业领域也有一定贡献。尽管农业排放占比最大，但工业领域的减排潜力最为突出。Han noted that while developed countries have historically contributed the most cumulative N2O emissions, recent increases have mainly been from emerging economies in Asia. "This makes N2O governance a complex challenge, involving both historical emissions and current development needs and requiring global cooperation," she said.韩颖慧表示，历史上发达国家的累计一氧化二氮（N2O）排放量占比最高，但近年来排放增长主要来自亚洲新兴经济体。“这使得一氧化二氮治理成为一项复杂挑战，既涉及历史排放问题，又关乎当前发展需求，需要全球通力合作。”China's progress, however, offers a hopeful signal. Han credited "synergistic governance" as the key to China's success.不过，中国取得的进展传递出积极信号。韩颖慧认为，“协同治理”是中国取得成效的关键。To reduce nitrogen oxide emissions for cleaner air, China has widely adopted a technology called selective catalytic reduction, or SCR, in coal-fired power plants. The effort has resulted in 70 to 90 percent mitigation in the emissions of coproduced N2O in the sector.为减少氮氧化物排放、改善空气质量，中国已在燃煤电厂广泛应用选择性催化还原（SCR）技术。这一举措使该行业协同产生的一氧化二氮（N2O）排放量降低了70%至90%。"This represents a unified technical strategy for reducing air pollutants and greenhouse gases, and shows China's successful integration of climate goals into environmental management," Han said.韩颖慧说：“这是一项兼顾大气污染物减排与温室气体控制的统一技术策略，体现了中国将气候目标融入环境管理的成功实践。”Her team also studied the link between provincial GDP and N2O emissions in China. "It shows a weak dependence, meaning that higher economic development does not automatically lead to more N2O emissions," she said.她的团队还研究了中国各省份GDP与一氧化二氮（N2O）排放之间的关联。“研究显示二者关联性较弱，这意味着经济发展水平的提高并不会自动导致一氧化二氮排放量增加。”China continues to advance N2O control. In September, authorities introduced an action plan targeting N2O emissions in the industrial sector. Proven technologies are already being applied, such as exhaust gas purification in adipic acid production, which removes more than 95 percent of N2O emissions while recovering the gas as a useful industrial product.中国仍在持续推进一氧化二氮（N2O）管控工作。今年9月，相关部门出台了针对工业领域一氧化二氮排放的行动计划。成熟技术已逐步落地应用，例如己二酸生产过程中的废气净化技术，可去除95%以上的一氧化二氮排放，同时将其回收转化为有用的工业产品。To encourage reductions, China is incorporating N2O data from the nitric acid industry into its national carbon trading system and promoting N2O mitigation projects under the China Certified Emission Reduction program. Under CCER, companies can earncarbon credits by taking actions such as expanding renewable energy and planting forests.为鼓励减排行动，中国正将硝酸行业的一氧化二氮（N2O）排放数据纳入全国碳交易体系，并在中国核证自愿减排量（CCER）项目下推广一氧化二氮减排相关项目。在CCER机制下，企业可通过发展可再生能源、植树造林等行动获取碳信用。"China's validated industrial technologies are scalable and ready to be shared through cooperation platforms, helping others avoid carbon-intensive development pathways," Han said.韩颖慧说：“中国已验证的工业减排技术具有可推广性，可通过合作平台共享，助力其他国家避开高碳发展路径。”anthropogenic emissions人为源排放nitrous oxide一氧化二氮synergistic governance协同治理carbon credits碳信用

For something that we do every single day, and something that has the power to change every aspect of our life, we sure don't focus on, train, or develop it. And, that thing is conversation. Nothing great ever happened in your life without, first, a conversation – no promotions, no jobs, no clients, no dates, nothing. My guest today, Payam Pakmanesh (known as "The Convo Guy") is here to explain why and, more importantly, how we can build and develop our ability to communicate more effectively. We cover the proper principles of communication, Adlerian Psychology and how it helps you focus on what you can control, the "Zoom Flow" model for deeper connection, how to make yourself more approachable, and becoming aware of how others perceive you.

 In this episode, Sakara founders Whitney Tingle and Danielle DuBoise sit down with world-renowned fertility expert Dr. Zaher Merhi, founder and medical director of the Rejuvenating Fertility Center. Named one of the Top 2% Scientists in the World, Dr. Merhi is pioneering a new era of women's health—one where fertility, longevity, and regenerative medicine are deeply interconnected. Together, they explore groundbreaking new frontiers in fertility—from stem cell ovarian rejuvenation and reproductive immunology to natural and low-dose IVF alternatives. Dr. Merhi challenges traditional fertility medicine, emphasizing that IVF isn't always the answer—and that many women can restore fertility and hormonal health by addressing underlying inflammation, immune imbalances, and lifestyle factors. Whether you're thinking about kids, navigating perimenopause, or simply curious about optimizing your hormonal health, this conversation offers a powerful perspective: your fertility is a reflection of your overall vitality—and supporting it means nurturing your whole body, mind, and spirit. Dr. Merhi Shares:  Why inflammation is at the root of many fertility challenges How reproductive immunology helps prevent miscarriage and support healthy pregnancies The science of PRP and stem cell ovarian rejuvenation Why IVF is not the only answer The link between mental state, nourishment, and fertility How regenerative therapies like ozone and exosome treatments are advancing longevity and hormonal health Check out the video version on the Sakara Life YouTube channel here: https://youtu.be/uTjlwH7wNhM  About Dr. Merhi: Dr. Merhi is the founder and the medical director of Rejuvenating Fertility Center (RFC). He is an internationally recognized fertility doctor, lecturer, editor, and grant reviewer.

Dr. Greg Hammer, is a Former Professor at Stanford University School of Medicine, Physician, Best-Selling Author, and Mindfulness Expert.It was a wonderful conversation as he shared stories of his grandmother and her love for art and he declaration about using proper english grammar. Greg shares how he inherited  that same consciousness as to being respectful to the english language.A Best Selling Author with an eye on being active and healthy, his recent book is about adults, caregivers, teachers helping teenagers reduce their stress levels by using his meditative technique incorporating Gratitude, Acceptance, Intention and Non judgement in a 3-4 minute daily meditation that anyone can do. He explains and walks us through a short meditation during this conversation.It's important for all of us to have balance in our lives-mental and physical balance and peace.It was a real pleasure speaking and meeting Dr. Greg Hammer.architectInformation about his most recent book: A Mindful Teen: Helping Today's Teenagers Thrive through Gratitude, Acceptance, Intention, and Non judgement Topic: Coping Strategies for Youth this National Suicide Prevention MonthTalk Points: Destigmatization is the key - Suicide is preventable through awareness, education, and accessible resources.The more we discuss mental health in productive ways, the better primed we will be to catch the warning signs before they progress into something serious.Openly discussing mental health encourages youth to initiate those conversations for themselves and ask for help should they need it.Today's teens face stressors that older generations never imaginedSocial media, smartphones, and the internet – and AIAfter-effects of COVID lockdown and isolationThe great political divide, affecting relationships in and outside of familiesIncreasingly competitive college admission and tuitionThe economic pressures their families faceThe Role of Parents and Parenting  - Cultivating Compassion, Forgiveness, and EmpathyThe Risks and How to Spot Them*Early Detection can save your child's life - The warning signs that someone is struggling with their mental health can easily be overlooked (especially amongst teenagers).*The most common symptoms of depression and anxiety (i.e. changes in behavior and mood, irritability, changes in sleep habits, changes in eating habits, withdrawing socially) are also commonly associated with the standard growing pains and hormonal shifts of adolescence. So, how do you know the difference?If something feels off with your child, the best thing you can do is ask.Sit down with your child and have a gentle, but honest conversation about your concerns. You may have to speak with them multiple times before they're ready to open up. Trust your instincts and be gently persistent.Consult a Mental Health Professional: There is no shame in asking for help for both teens and adults.Mindfulness at Home - Encouraging children to practice mindfulness daily can help build their mental and emotional resilience and protect their mental health in the short and long term.*Mindfulness can be a great tool to help teens rewire their brains away from the negativity on which they dwell. It can neutralize their tendency to ruminate over the past, often leading to depression, and to overthinking the future, creating fear and anxiety.The GAIN Method - Gratitude, Acceptance, Intention, and Nonjudgment are the pillars of happiness for teens - and for the rest of us.Website:https://amindfulteen.com/Facebook: @GregHammerMD; https://www.facebook.com/greghammermd/Instagram: @greghammermd; https://www.instagram.com/greghammermd/LinkedIn:https://www.linkedin.com/in/greg-hammer-02b20422/ "Should Have Listened To My Mother" is an ongoing conversation about mothers/female role models and the roles they play in our lives.

Scientists found evidence of a whole continent that vanished like, ages ago—like, 115 million years ago! It's like something out of a sci-fi flick, right? Apparently, it was this massive landmass, kind of like what we have now with Africa and stuff, but then poof! It just disappeared into thin air, or rather, deep into the ocean. They're calling it "Greater Adria," and it's got geologists buzzing with excitement about Earth's ancient history. Makes you wonder what other secrets this planet's hiding, huh?

Did you know the next supercontinent is already in the works? Scientists believe that over millions of years, Earth's tectonic plates will shift again to create a massive landmass. They're calling it Pangaea Proxima, or "Future Pangaea," and it's set to form as the Atlantic Ocean shrinks while continents like Africa and Europe crash together. This isn't happening tomorrow, though—it's a process that could take 200-300 million years! When it does happen, it'll totally change climates, ecosystems, and even the way we navigate the planet.

What happens when science, law, and love for the Ocean come together? Callie Veelenturf, marine conservation biologist and National Geographic Explorer, has walked the nesting beaches with sea turtles and worked hand in hand with coastal communities, turning relationship into real protection. Michelle Bender, an international leader in Ocean Rights, is helping reshape law itself—pioneering policies that recognize the Ocean and her beings not as resources, but as relatives with rights of their own.In this conversation, Callie and Michelle share how their paths of biology and law weave into a movement for change: sea turtles and people thriving side by side, orcas and other beings gaining legal recognition, and humanity stepping into its role as caretaker of the living Sea. Be inspired by two voices showing that transformation is not only possible—it is already underway.Callie Veelenturf is a marine conservation biologist, National Geographic Explorer, a Scientist with the United Nations Harmony with Nature Programme, and Founder of The Leatherback Project and National Geographic Society's program For Nature, who inspires high-impact conservation measures through collaborative scientific research initiatives. Callie has a special focus on marine turtles, ocean ecosystems and the Rights of Nature. As Founder of The Leatherback Project, she has trained over two thousand Panamanian Army and Navy soldiers in the recognition of illegal sea turtle products; identified new to science sea turtle nesting and foraging sites; and spearheaded groundbreaking conservation proposals and laws in Panama including a new National Wildlife Refuge; Law 287 recognizing the Rights of Nature; and Article 29 of Law 371 that recognizes sea turtles as legal entities with specific rights. She leads the Operations for three field research programs that document coastal development threats, justify new protection measures, and combat fisheries bycatch in the Pearl Islands Archipelago, Darien Gap, and project Iluminar el Mar from 2022-2025 in Ecuador.  Most recently, she has received the 2024 Future For Nature Award, 2024 Schmidt Ocean Institute Visionary Award, and 2024 New Explorer of The Year Award from The Explorers Club and been named a 2022 United Nations Development Programme Ocean Innovator and 2020 National Geographic Early Career Leader.Michelle Bender is the creator and leading expert in the movement towards "Ocean Rights," the application of Rights of Nature in the ocean policy seascape. She has provided her expertise to Rights of Nature laws and policies worldwide, including in the United States (Rhode Island and Washington), Panama (national law, sea turtle conservation law and marine reserve), the Philippines (national law), Aruba (constitutional amendment), the Moananui Sanctuary Agreement to recognise whales as legal persons, and within international law and institutions (IUCN Motion 056 (2025)). She serves on the Advisory Board for the Global Alliance for the Rights of Nature, is a member of the IUCN's World Commission on Environmental Law, an expert of the UN Harmony with Nature initiative and Steering Committee Member for the UN Ocean Decade Coordination Office on Connecting People and the Ocean. In 2018, she was named one of 15 Youth Ocean Leaders taking on the world internationally by the Sustainable Ocean Alliance. Michelle graduated Summa Cum Laude from Vermont Law School, where she earned a Master's in Environmental Law and Policy and holds a B.S. in Biology with a Marine Emphasis from Western Washington University.  To learn more about Michelle and her work visit the Ocean Vision Legal website.  Support the show

Scientists have found the first compelling evidence that cognitive training can boost levels of a brain chemical that typically declines as people age. The results of this 10-week study back earlier animal research showing that environments that stimulate the brain can increase levels of certain neurotransmitters. And other studies of people have suggested that cognitive training can improve thinking and memory. So how does it all work? And by how much does it all work? Here to break everything down and help you understand how to keep your brain sharp is NPR science correspondent Jon Hamilton.Interested in more brain science?

I'm your host, Kate Shaw. This week let's learn about some whales and dolphins, including an ancient whale and a mystery whale, all of them really small. Thanks to Alexandra, Eilee, and Jayson for their suggestions! Let's start with an ancient whale, suggested by Jayson. The genus Janjucetus has been known since its first species was described in 2006, after a teenage surfer in Australia discovered the fossils in the late 1990s. It grew to about 11 feet long, or 3.5 meters, and lived about 25 million years ago. So far it's only been found around Australia. But much more recently, just a few months ago as this episode goes live, a new species was described. That's Janjucetus dullardi, also found in Australia along the same beach where the first Janjucetus species was found, and dating to around the same time period. We don't know a lot about the newly described whale, since it's only known from some teeth and partial skull. Scientists think the individual was a juvenile and estimate it was only around 6 feet long when it died, or 2.8 meters. Small as it was, it would have been a formidable hunter when it was alive. Its broad snout was shaped sort of like a shark's and it had strong, sharp teeth and large eyes. Because it was an early whale, it wouldn't have looked much like the whales alive today. It might even have had tiny vestigial back legs. Its eyes were huge in proportion to its head, about the size of tennis balls, and it probably relied on its eyesight to hunt prey because it couldn't echolocate. Its serrated teeth and strong jaws indicate that it might have hunted large animals, but some scientists suggest it could also filter feed the same way a crabeater seal does. Modern crabeater seals have similar teeth as Janjucetus, as do a few other seals. The projections on its teeth interlock when the seal closes its mouth, so to filter feed the seal takes a big mouthful of water, closes its teeth, and uses its tongue to force water out through its teeth. Amphipods and other tiny animals get caught against the teeth and the seal swallows them. If Janjucetus did filter feed, it probably also hunted larger animals. Otherwise its jaws wouldn't have been so strong or its teeth so deeply rooted. But Janjucetus wasn't related to modern toothed whales. While it wasn't a direct ancestor of modern baleen whales, it was part of the baleen whale's family tree. Baleen whales, also called mysticetes, have baleen plates made of keratin instead of teeth. After the whale fills its mouth with water, it closes its jaws, pushes its enormous tongue up, and forces all that water out through the baleen. Any tiny animals like krill, copepods, small squid, small fish, and so on, get trapped in the baleen. It's just like the crabeater seal, but really specialized and way bigger. Whether or not Janjucetus could and did filter feed doesn't really matter, because the fact that it's an ancestral relation of modern baleen whales but it had teeth helps us understand more about modern whales. Next, Eilee wanted to learn about the Benguela [BEN-gull-uh] dolphin, also called Heaviside's dolphin. It lives only off the southwestern coast of Africa, and it's really small, only a little over 5 and a half feet long at the most, or 1.7 meters. It's dark gray with white markings,

In this episode, Emily interviews Dr. Sonali Majumdar, the assistant dean for professional development in the graduate school at Princeton University. Sonali is the author of the recently published book Thriving as an International Scientist: Professional Development for Global STEM Citizens. Sonali and Emily discuss the various financial challenges that international graduate students, postdocs, and researchers face when coming to the US, including the start-up expenses and relative financial dependence on their advisor's grants. They also touch on the learning curve that international scientists experience in the areas of immigration, taxes, and investing.

There's a lot of Neanderthal research in the news these days and the first two articles highlight some of those achievements. The first article references research about ancient Neanderthals and their migration patterns. Turns out they got around more than we think they did! The second article highlights new research about Neanderthal art and symbology using ochre coloring devices. Finally, we head back to the western hemisphere to learn about 20,000 year old Japanese ancestors possibly being some of the first to cross the ocean and explore the Americas.LinksScientists Discovered Ancient DNA That Could Change Prehistory ForeverPrehistoric crayons provide clues to how Neanderthals created art.Remarkable New Research on Ochre 'Crayons' Colors in Scientists' Understanding of How Neanderthals Made ArtNew Evidence Suggests the First Americans Didn't Walk From Siberia—They Sailed From JapanContactChris Websterchris@archaeologypodcastnetwork.comRachel Rodenrachel@unraveleddesigns.comRachelUnraveled (Instagram)ArchPodNetAPN Website: https://www.archpodnet.comAPN Discord: https://discord.com/invite/CWBhb2T2edAPN on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/archpodnetAPN on Twitter: https://www.twitter.com/archpodnetAPN on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/archpodnetAPN ShopAffiliatesMotion Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

What if the secret to living longer wasn't locked in a lab, but hiding in plain sight? And what could lobsters possibly teach us about staying young?Scientists have discovered a remarkable connection between an ancient practice and our cellular aging process - one that celebrities and longevity researchers are quietly using to their advantage. It involves an enzyme in your body that most people don't even know exists, yet it plays a crucial role in how fast (or slow) you age.The twist? You can activate it in just 10 minutes a day, no prescription required.Curious about the biological "switch" that might help you turn back your cellular clock?
