Canaries in the coal mine — a report on Canada's bird life is an environmental report cardUsing millions of observations, collected over 50 years, from bird watchers across the country, the conservation group Birds Canada and Environment and Climate Change Canada have released a report called The State of Canada's Birds. The big takeaways are that many bird species, such as grassland birds and arctic birds, are in trouble because of climate change, damage to habitat and other causes. The good news is that where we've made efforts at conservation, such as with birds of prey and waterfowl, it's working.Ants farm fungus, and have been doing it since the dinosaurs diedMany species of ant grow fungus for food in their colonies, feeding it on plant matter and carefully cultivating it to protect it from disease. And a new study, led by Smithsonian researcher Ted Schulz, has determined that this has been going on for at least 66 million years, and probably evolved as a strategy to survive the environmental catastrophe that followed the asteroid impact that annihilated the dinosaurs. The research was published in the journal Science.A Canadian group is exploring how to filter and destroy forever chemicals in our waterPFAS, a group of 15,000 synthetic chemicals that are also known as forever chemicals, are a tricky problem because they've spread everywhere and are hard to destroy. But a group from the University of British Columbia, led by chemical engineer Johan Foster, has found a way to efficiently capture the chemicals from water and break them down into harmless components. The research was published in the journal Nature Communications Engineering.It's two, two, two animals in one. Comb jellies can join their bodies togetherScientists studying a jellyfish-like animal called a ctenophore, or comb jelly, were shocked to discover that, when injured, two individual animals could fuse together. University of Colorado biologist Mariana Rodriguez-Santiago and her team found that the animals melded their nervous systems, and even their guts, while retaining individual features. The research was published in the journal Current Biology.Using the sea to soak up our excess carbon dioxideWe've released 1.5 trillion tons of carbon dioxide into our atmosphere. We may slow our emissions, but the CO2 we've already released will warm our planet for thousands of years. Which is why scientists are now trying to understand how we might safely attempt to remove it on a vast scale. Journalist Moira Donovan explores research into marine carbon dioxide removal, and how scientists are trying to understand if we can fix a problem they'd hoped we'd never face.

In today's episode Tatiana Dawn interviews Sue Evans: a respected herbalist, teacher and herbal historian on Wurrundjeri country in Melbourne. Sue has an incredible birds eye view on Australian herbalism over the past almost 50 years of her education and career, and when she did her PHD, she really dived into the herbal history of Australia since European settlement, and some of the challenges that herbalists have faced over this time. Sue herself has a rich history of herbal education, starting with training at the National Institute of Medical Herbalists in the UK. In Australia, Sue taught teaching at the Southern School of Natural Therapies. Later, she moved to Southern Cross University in Lismore, where she was part of the first university course in naturopathy in Australia. After nearly 20 years there, she returned to Melbourne and continued teaching online with the University of Tasmania. Throughout her career, Sue practiced herbal medicine for about 25 years, was part of the first integrative clinic in Melbourne, and was involved in the establishment of the Victorian Herbalists Association during a politically charged time when the Therapeutic Goods Act was introduced. Sue has been a huge advocate for herbalists rights, and also for the rights of the plants, promoting a more sustainable way of managing the industry that has emerged with the import of herbs for clinical practice. In this interview we explore the repeating patterns through history, of herbalists being oppressed by the government and allopathic medical industry. We discuss what history has been lost or misplaced, and Sue shares her wisdom that we need only to look to the landscape and the plants to find the history written. Sue also shares her story of being at the first ever meeting of the American Herbalist Guild, and how a previous conversation with Micheal Tierra catalyzed the AHG to form. We actually cover so much in this interview, and yet it feels like the tip of the iceberg. I really loved this chat with a herbal elder who I respect so much, and I hope that you enjoy.

In  Episode 148,  Ben chats with Deb Fernando, who is quite possibly the only Indigenous behaviour analyst in all of Australia.  Deb is a proud Bigambul, Gomeroi woman with strong connections to far northwest NSW within the Gamilaraay language nation. She has 30 years' experience working with First Nations communities throughout Australia, including urban, rural, and remote locations.   Deb started her career as a chef, then worked in government organisation troubleshooting major problems in servicing First Nations people in remote communities. She then went on to work with the University of South Australia where her team of researchers received the Vice Chancellors award for excellence in engaging in communities. Moving from SA back to New South Wales she began working with the SAX institute as the Study manager to progress their First Nations child health research project in urban and rural children's health. Within a short time, they established the project in five major Aboriginal Medical services, which identified the gaps in services to First Nations children within these areas. One highlight was establishing ongoing specialized services such as hearing and speech therapy for First Nations families.  At the age of 50 Deb embarked on my academic career completing my BA and Honors in psychological science at Southern Cross University, continuing her studies in 2020 she completed a Master's in Education in Applied Behavioural Analysis at Monash University. Whilst studying she started to work as a positive behavioural therapist practitioner with The Center for Positive Behavioural support where she held a position as a Behavioural support practitioner.  Over the years Deb has been looking and searching for the most appropriate services for First Nations peoples to assist in closing the gap between First Nations people and Non-First Nations peoples.  Deb has a passion for applied behaviour analysis and therapies that take a holistic approach to addressing the needs of First Nations families.  Due to the impacts of cultural loading, she received over her working career she ended her journey of working for others and started her own business “FeatherWay Road”. Here Deb collaborates with families to establish an environment where everyone feels included, supported, and empowered. Working with neurodiverse children, she embraces their unique strengths, their culture, and challenges to cultivate an inclusive and supportive learning environment.  ABA has been one of the many highlights of her academic career. I have seen and experienced the solid sustainable results this has on families and individuals.  Continuing Education Credits (https://www.cbiconsultants.com/shop) BACB: 2.0 Learning IBAO: 2.0 Cultural QABA: 2.0 DEI Contact: debfern54@hotmail.com Behaviour Speak Podcast Episodes Referenced Grant Bruno https://www.behaviourspeak.com/e/episode-37-the-realities-of-autism-in-first-nations-communities-in-canada-with-grant-bruno-phd-candidate/ Louis Busch  https://www.behaviourspeak.com/e/episode-11-the-treatment-of-life-threatening-pica-with-louis-busch-bst-abs-hc-med-bcba/ Jordyn Burleson  https://www.behaviourspeak.com/e/episode-130-the-tonowanda-seneca-behavior-technician-with-jordyn-burleson-rbt/ Valerie Clack https://www.behaviourspeak.com/e/episode-117-the-lakota-bcba-with-valerie-clack-ma-bcbalba/

Nena Aleschewski BNat IBCLC is a naturopath, nutritionist, herbalist and International Board Certified Lactation consultant. She has been in clinical practice at Goulds Natural Medicine in nipaluna, Hobart, Tasmania for over 14 years and has a passion for optimising the health and wellbeing of women, babies and children. She particularly loves to weave the magic of herbal remedies and food-as-medicine into all the lives she comes across, and strives to bring simplicity and connection into everyday healthy living. Nena grew up with natural medicine- as a child her mum would use homeopathic remedies to support the family's health. She has a strong early memory of family friends growing Echinacea in their garden. Her family grew food and Nena remembers ‘food herbs' like garlic being used regularly.  After experiencing ill health in a foreign country and feeling particularly helpless, Nena had a strong desire to be able to help herself and support her own health, which inspired her to study a Bachelor of Naturopathy at Southern Cross University. She credits some wonderful herbal elders she encountered during her studies, for encouraging her passion for herbal medicine. Following university, Nena was lucky enough to gain an internship at Gould's, which included growing and manufacturing herbal medicines and cemented her passion for using plant medicines.  Nena shares one of the biggest barriers to regularly prioritizing herself is the need to hold everything- and the guilt of letting something go in order to be able to carve out time for herself. Which ball will she let fall? It's a feeling many of us would be familiar with… We chat about the vicious cycle of hearing the screams from our bodies and minds for the need for self care, but the lack of motivation that sometimes accompanies this time. Nena speaks about her garden and how spending even a couple of moments here connecting with the plants, can help to lift vitality.  And finally, Nena offers some really clever and practical tips for helping us to weave herbs into our days using a food as medicine approach… **CONNECT** You can connect with Nena here: Gould's Apothecary: https://www.gouldsnaturalmedicine.com.au/nena-aleschewski Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/naturopath_nena/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/naturopath.nena **THE ELDER TREE TROVE PATREON COMMUNITY** You can join our Patreon ⁠here⁠ and gain a deeper connection to our podcast.

What does it take to be a great scientist? What skills do you need? What is most important? We speak with Professor Kirsten Benkendorff from Southern Cross University to learn her thoughts as well as discover the work she does to protect our marine ecosystems. Hosted by Ben Newsome from Fizzics Education About Professor Kirsten Benkendorff There's evidence that people can be happier and healthier if they regularly eat seafood. However, we can't produce healthy seafood if we don't look after our estuaries and oceans. Kirsten is a Professor of Marine Science and loves inspiring students with my passion for marine biodiversity. She mentors students in evidence-based research and leads multi-disciplinary teams investigating the value and vulnerability of marine resources. Her research focuses on the nutritional and medicinal properties of marine species and how these are impacted by a range of environmental stressors, including climate change and pollution. To date, her research teams have produced over 150 scientific papers. Kirsten works with the fisheries and aquaculture industry, government agencies, traditional owners and community groups to find solutions to environmental problems. Her contributions to science have been recognised in several awards including Young Australian of the Year for Science and Technologyand the Australian Academy of Science Dorothy Hill Award for marine and earth science. She is hoping her ongoing research will influence policies on water quality management and pesticide regulation, in order to keep our seafood safe and healthy.She is keen to collaborate and connect with the community to share her knowledge. So, look her up if you want to learn more about marine biodiversity and what we need to do to protect it!

The Business of Meetings – Episode - 156: How Luxury Brands Talk To Their Clients with Neen James   We are delighted to be speaking with Neen James today! Neen has been working in various industries across the world. She is the author of Attention Pays and the President and CEO of Neen James, Incorporated. She is with us today to share her journey and discuss the fascinating survey she did recently on luxury brands, how people look at luxury, and the best way to speak with clients dealing with luxury brands.  We hope you enjoy listening to today's inspiring and informative conversation with Neen James! Bio: Neen James is the author of nine books including Folding Time™ and her most recent, Attention PaysTM. She was named one of the top 30 Leadership Speakers by Global Guru several years in a row because of her work with companies like Viacom, Comcast, Cisco, Virgin, Johnson & Johnson, and the FBI, among others. Neen is a leadership expert who delivers high-energy keynotes that challenge audiences to prioritize focus in their work and lives. Understanding that attention and productivity can only come after clarifying what matters most, audiences leave Neen's keynotes with practical strategies they can then apply personally and professionally to get them where they want to be. Compelling in delivering presentations, Neen is adaptive and responsive to the unique needs of live, virtual, and hybrid experiences. Meeting planners love working with her – they often describe Neen as the energizer bunny for their events. With a strong background in learning and development and managing large teams at various corporations, Neen is the perfect fit for organizations that want systems thinking-based, implementable strategies. After working with Neen, their employees are able to create space and allow the freedom to avoid distractions, stop interruptions, prioritize daily objectives, and say ‘no' to requests that steal time and focus from real goals and priorities. Neen earned her MBA from Southern Cross University and the Certified Speaking Professional designation from National Speakers Association. She has received numerous awards as a professional speaker and is a partner in the international education company Thought Leaders Global. Oh, did we mention that Neen is Australian? Why does that matter? Well, it means that she's a bit mischievous, pretty witty, and a little cheeky. She also considers herself an unofficial champagne taste tester ... and is obsessed with her Peloton bike... a bike that goes nowhere! Neen's journey Neen grew up in corporate business, in Australia. She worked in retail banking, telecommunications, and the oil industry. As an executive strategist, she became obsessed with finding out how to get people to pay attention to what really matters. Someone once nudged her to become a speaker. She set up a company and found her first retainer client immediately. Her company has grown since then, she relocated to the United States, wrote some books, and did some research studies. Leaving corporate Australia There were various things that prompted Neen to leave corporate Australia. She was working in the prepaid cellphone industry and did some fun projects there, including launching Virgin® in Australia. She became known as someone who got things done and people kept on asking her to speak at conferences. So, she decided to do something for herself. She managed to convince the board that the best strategy was to re-engineer the business, centralize the roles, and let many people go, herself included. Corporate life Neen loved corporate life, and she still loves corporate clients! Being a corporate girl was a great gift for her because she now does a lot of corporate work, particularly with CEOs and their teams. Referrals An entrepreneur was born…Neen built her company from scratch! All of her business opportunities have come from referrals from people in her audience or her network.  Changing According to Neen, anyone thinking of making a change needs to be courageous, believe in yourself, know what you're good at, and look for what will truly light you up! The difference between Aussies and Americans Because Neen enjoyed living in the US so much, she became a citizen. She believes one difference between Australians and Americans is that Australians work hard and play hard. Americans work hard. Using your out-of-office and voicemail Use your out-of-office and voicemail as ways for people to experience you. It can be a fun way to extend your personal brand, provide information for people sending you notes, and manage people's expectations.  What Need discovered through her survey on luxury brands Thoughts create feelings. Neen wanted to find out what people think about luxury rather than how they feel about it. The research firm that did her survey interviewed hundreds of leaders and found that there are four different luxury mindsets (or archetypes). Through the survey, they were able to discover how each of those mindsets makes decisions, how they define luxury, what's important to them, and who influences their decisions. Knowing that can help brands assess the mindsets with which they want to work with, and then align their messages to attract those mindsets. The four luxury mindsets/archetypes: Reluctant and removed – Luxury is hard  Pro-prioritizer – Luxury is power Confident and content – They've got this The luxury-lover – They think they are worth it Helping companies speak luxury language Companies should speak the luxury language of the luxury mindset they want to attract. Neen helps them do that. Various implications There are many different implications for luxury brands in research, and Neen loves sharing them with the audiences she works with! Time Neen believes time can only be managed if things will happen whether we like it or not. (She talks about that in her book, Folding Time.) However, you can manage your attention. (Neen talks about how to be more intentional with your attention in her book, Attention Pays.) Is luxury recession-proof? Whether or not a recession occurs, some people will continue having the luxury lifestyle they have always enjoyed. So she does not foresee a crisis for luxury brands. However, she does see luxury brands having to market differently and align their messages to appeal to luxury mindsets. Inter-generational travel Neen has noticed a trend of inter-generational travel, where one family member pays for the whole family to take a luxury cruise together. How Neen helps her clients When Neen consults with her clients, she looks at how they assess the mindset of the person they want to attract and how they align their messages to ensure everything is consistent with that mindest. She also helps her clients build advocates for their brands. Neen's advice Whether you are in the luxury space or not, think about the kind of people you want to work with, the companies and brands with which you would like to be aligned, and the actions you intend to take to support those companies or brands. Tiny changes By implementing some tiny changes, it's easy for anyone to transform an ordinary, everyday experience into a luxury one!

Monica Gagliano is a research associate professor in evolutionary ecology and former fellow of the Australian Research Council. She is currently based at Southern Cross University, where she directs the Biological Intelligence Lab funded by the Templeton World Charity Foundation. She has pioneered the brand-new research field of plant bioacoustics, for the first time experimentally demonstrating that plants emit their own “voices” and detect and respond to the sounds of their environments. Her work has extended the concept of cognition (including perception, learning processes, memory) in plants. Her latest book is Thus Spoke the Plant (North Atlantic Books, 2018). / monicagagliano.com / Aware: Glimpses of Consciousness

David's guest today is Dr Monica Gagliano who is Research Associate Professor in Evolutionary Ecology at the Biological Intelligence (BI) Lab, Southern Cross University in Perth, Australia. Her main research is broadly focusing on key aspects of the ecological processes by which organisms are able to gather information on the variable conditions of their surrounding environment in order to thrive. In collaboration with various disciplines across the Sciences and the Humanities, her research aims at expanding our perception of animals, plants and more generally Nature. In the process of learning how to do this, she has pioneered the brand-new research field of plant bioacoustics and extended the concept of cognition to plants, re-igniting the discourse on plant subjectivity, sentience and ethical standing.“Not all who wander are lost” - Goethe“The soul has an absolute and unforgiving need for regular excursions into enchantment” - Thomas MooreImaginal Inspirations is hosted by David Lorimer, Programme Director of the Scientific and Medical Network and Chair of the Galileo Commission, an academic movement dedicated to expanding the evidence base of a science of consciousness. Imaginal cells are responsible for the metamorphosis of the caterpillar into a butterfly, which is the Greek symbol for the soul. These cells are dormant in the caterpillar but at a critical point of development they create the new form and structure which becomes the butterfly.scientificandmedical.netgalileocommission.orgbeyondthebrain.org Works and links mentioned:https://uk.bookshop.org/books/thus-spoke-the-plant-a-remarkable-journey-of-groundbreaking-scientific-discoveries-and-personal-encounters-with-plants/9781623172435The Mind of Plants https://blackwells.co.uk/bookshop/product/9780907791874https://www.waterstones.com/book/the-green-thread/patricia-vieira/monica-gagliano/9781498510615Thomas Berry - The Dream of the Earth https://uk.bookshop.org/books/the-dream-of-the-earth/9781619025325Tao Te Ching https://uk.bookshop.org/books/the-divine-feminine-tao-te-ching-a-new-translation-and-commentary/9781644112465Production: Martin RedfernArtwork: Amber HaasMusic: Life is a River, by Magnus Moone

This episode consists of Part 1 & Part 2. In this week's conversation, we speak with Ecologist Monica Gagliano about her groundbreaking research with plants in context to perception, learning, memory, cognition, and intelligence. Her work opens a new awareness of how we perceive the plant world and challenges traditional thinking about plant and animal intelligence, and how we might connect on a much deeper level than we ever thought. We hear about the patient little Mimosa plant, or Sensitive plant, and how they learn, remember and react. Kindred is hosted by Kate Coffin and Jenn Asplundh.

How does the brain work at its deepest levels? And to what extent can we radically upgrade it, creating neuroplastic changes? Ruben Laukkonen, PhD is a cognitive neuroscientist, contemplative, speaker, and poet. His eclectic background includes competing semi-professionally in Muay Thai Kickboxing, founding two businesses (including the first online market for bitcoin in Australia), and intensive meditation training. Dr. Laukkonen is currently a principal investigator and lecturer at Southern Cross University and holds honorary fellowships at VU Amsterdam and The University of Queensland. He uses methods such as behavior, neuroimaging, machine learning, and phenomenology to empirically investigate some of the rarest states of human consciousness. This episode is a full tour of the mind, including a deep dive into some of those rare states of consciousness and what they reveal about achieving the highest levels of human happiness.
