We're thrilled to offer a bonus episode here on our feed, where we shout out an awesome new podcast created by friends of Judaism Unbound. It's called Aderaba: Jewish Studies on the Contrary and it's co-hosted by Rafe Neis – a past teacher in Judaism Unbound's UnYeshiva – and Gilah Kletenik. We're featuring their second episode, entitled What's Bad about Being in the Image of God, which connects to the mini-course that Rafe taught with us, entitled Untangling Tselem Elohim (the image of God).------------------------------------------------------Aderaba: Jewish Studies on the Contrary Description: Join Rafe Neis and Gilah Kletenik as they explore big questions through a diverse range of Jewish texts, ideas, and cultures. The conversations are sometimes clarifying but always contrarian. Come for their uncommon insights, stay for their critical takes on the fields of Rabbinics, Classics, History, Philosophy, Critical Theory, and more!Episode 2: What's Bad About Being in the Image of God? Description: Hosts Gilah Kletenik and Rafe Neis discuss the multifaceted and often contradictory Jewish notion that humans are created in the image of God. They explore the historical context of this idea in ancient near Eastern cultures and its interpretation through Jewish and Christian philosophical traditions. The hosts delve into the dark side of this notion, including its use in exclusionary ideologies, the hierarchies it inducts, and its potential pitfalls. They also debate whether alternative theological frameworks better address contemporary issues like climate change, ultimately suggesting a nuanced approach that balances the ideal of human dignity with a broader ecological responsibility.You can subscribe to Aderaba via Spotify, Apple Podcasts, or anywhere else podcasts are found.-------------------------------------------------------Head to JudaismUnbound.com/classes to check out our up upcoming courses in the UnYeshiva.

3. Darwin's Finches, Evolution, and Avian Intelligence AUTHOR: Stephen Moss BOOK TITLE: 10 Birds That Changed the World This excerpt addresses the myth that Darwin immediately understood evolution from the Galapagos Finches; he actually focused on pigeons in The Origin of Species. The finches were only named in his honor about 100 years after his birth. It highlights the work of Peter and Rosemary Grant, who demonstrated that birds can evolve very quickly (in a couple of years) when conditions, such as El Niño, change dramatically. The discussion concludes by noting that all birds, including the Australian Magpie, exhibit high levels of intelligence.

We have finally caved and done a top 5 species to catch on fly !! This show is chaos.. the old school Intermediate Line banter is alive and well in this one, and we must add this disclaimer right at the start...

Troy and Roger blast off into Species II , a sequel so wild it makes alien reproduction look like a government-funded soap opera. They dig into the film's unapologetically horny horror, questionable science, and the endless supply of slime and skin. From astronauts gone rogue to DNA gone haywire, the guys unpack the movie's mix of sci-fi spectacle and late-'90s sleaze. Along the way, they debate the film's surprisingly solid practical effects, its, uh, unique approach to gender politics, and that unforgettable finale. It's part alien invasion, part erotic fever dream — and all ridiculous fun. Find out more at https://dark-night-of-the-podcast.pinecast.co

This Sukkos, as we sit together under one roof, the lulav and etrog in our hands carry a message far deeper than ritual. The four species are not symbols of difference but of interdependence — a call to unity that Baal HaSulam says is the very condition for receiving Torah itself. In this episode, we explore why the mitzvah can only be fulfilled when all four are bound together, and why the Jewish people can only fulfill their purpose when we are united as one.Join the Conversation! Be part of our growing community—join the Shema Podcast for the Perplexed WhatsApp group to share feedback, discuss episodes, and suggest future topics.

In the upcoming special episodes I'm going to feature songbird species who fit three criteria: that I have plenty of recordings of them, that I have not significantly featured them before, and that they are not likely to be featured in the next season of Songbirding because they do no occur in the west, or have not shown up significantly in my western recordings as of right now. The Orchard Oriole has a curious song. Much like the Baltimore Oriole, each bird might have a slightly different song, with their own unique phrases. This songbird has quite a varied appearance, with lemony-yellow females, and males with two plumages: one of a yellow bird with a black beard, typically seen in the second year of the bird's life, followed up with a more mature plumage of a dark back and hood with what I like to refer to as a blood-orange chest, though some describe this more as a chestnut colour. Either way, the older males are quite a dark bird. I find that the Orchard Oriole usually sounds like it is frequently interrupting its own whistle-y songs with terse, harsh interjections. And to my ears, sounds almost like an Eastern Warbling Vireo, except that it is interrupting its own songs. For this episode we'll be exploring three locations within my Ontario breeding bird atlas square, in Haldimand County, Ontario. I've found over the years of this survey that this species is highly successful in Haldimand, showing up in a high proportion of my random point count surveys.

The faces of vertebrate animals are often soft and full of teeth, but there is a common alternative. Birds, turtles, and many more groups have developed toothless snouts covered in a tough sheath. This episode, we'll explore the defining features of beaks and their various functions. And we'll take a tour through animal life past and present to investigate the reasons behind the repeated evolution of beaks among dinosaurs and beyond.

In this inspiring first half of a two-part conversation, we're joined by the accomplished and thoughtful Megan Sanders—zoo behavior consultant, educator, and long-time advocate for evidence-based training. With over 23 years in the zoo field, much of it at Cheyenne Mountain Zoo, Megan's journey has spanned caring for everything from goats and guinea pigs to snow leopards and mountain lions. Along the way, she became CMZ's first Animal Behavior Programs Manager, helped launch zoo-wide training and enrichment initiatives, and co-developed courses that have shaped the next generation of zookeepers. Beyond the zoo, Megan has also taught in higher education, supported service dog programs, and now collaborates with Behavior Works LLC as a consultant and instructor. Together, we explore: ✅ How Megan's early squirrel and wombat encounters set her on a path toward behavior science ✅ Her evolution from keeper to building zoo-wide training systems ✅ The pivotal influence of mentors like Susan Friedman and Steve Martin ✅ Why “playing with better tennis players” is vital for professional growth ✅ The challenges of embracing discomfort as a pathway to improvement Megan's story is a reminder that growth often comes from leaning into the uncomfortable, surrounding ourselves with people who challenge us, and staying curious about both animals and ourselves. Stay tuned for part two, where we'll dive into her master's thesis research on teaching strategies for animal trainers and transferring skills into practice.

Traveling rural roads in Virginia, it's not unusual to spot a bald eagle surrounded by vultures devouring road kill. As hunting season begins, bald eagles will head into the woods to scavenge on the remains of deer, hunters leave after field-dressing them. But remnants of lead ammunition are sometimes part of that meal and will […]

Every species hits rough patches. But we've gone way past that. Right now, humans aren't just flailing we’re actively sabotaging ourselves. We're a species that put men on the moon and split the atom, yet we can't even agree on what a man or woman is anymore. We pretend to be enlightened while drowning in stupidity. What used to be common sense is now considered controversial. Our priorities are upside down, our institutions are crumbling, and most people are too distracted by dopamine hits and outrage culture to notice or care. This episode isn't about doom and gloom.

Dodos are probably the single most famous case of recent human-induced extinction. First documented in the late 1500s and extinct within a century, dodos have become a global reminder of the devastating potential of human activity. This episode, we review the brief history of human interactions with dodos, and we explore what recent research and fossil evidence has taught us about these birds and their closest relatives. In the news: Cretaceous crocs, extra-spiky dinosaurs, turtles of the sea, and cave fish evolution.

Thanks to their comical waddle-like way of walking, striking tuxedo-patterned plumage or graceful ability to seemingly ‘fly' beneath the water, penguins are without doubt one of the planet's most instantly recognisable animals. But the fact is that they are also one of its most endangered species of bird. In this episode, we're joined by Dr Peter Fretwell, lead scientist at the British Antarctic Survey, to talk about his latest book The Penguin Book of Penguins – An Expert's Guide to the World's Most Beloved Bird. He tells us how, despite popular belief, penguins are found all over the globe, not just in Antarctica, why exactly they have such a comical way of walking and the actions we need to take if we want to save these charismatic birds from extinction.

The North East Open Studios allows people to meet artists and makers, often in their own workspaces. Rachel is welcomed by Marguerite Fleming from Westfield Croft in Aberdeenshire who has a rare breed fibre flock which she uses to create hand woven rugs and yarns.Around this time last year, Mark visited Scott Campbell on his farm at Kinellar in Aberdeenshire when the rain that had played havoc with his crops. Mark catches up with Scott to find out how the barley has fared this year.The results of this year's Big Butterfly Count are out and Rachel and Mark are joined by Apithanny Bourne, Species-rich Grassland Project Officer at Butterfly Conservation Scotland, to find out why butterfly numbers are average despite our sunny summer.In this week's midweek podcast extract, Mark heads to RSPB Insh Marshes near Aviemore to meet moth experts Mick Acourt and Pete Moore and to discover the contents of the moth trap they set the night before.This year marks 50 years of Carriage Driving for the Riding for the Disabled Association. Phil Sime takes a trip to Castle Fraser, near Inverurie to hear from the coaches, volunteers and participants involved in their 50th anniversary event.A 12-week public consultation on Edinburgh's proposed North-South tramline has begun. One proposed route would see one of the city's green spaces, the Roseburn Path, turned into a tramway. Mark takes a walk with Save The Roseburn Path's Euan Baxter to learn about the campaign to protect the path.Set in a spectacular location in the Highlands, Moniack Mhor is Scotland's Creative Writing Centre. Rachel joins the Centre's nature writing course and chats to two published authors Mark Cocker and Karen Lloyd and some of those on the course hoping to learn more about the genre.

This is a significant chat as we get into the workings of another species that lurks in the shadows, they are not "aliens" from another planet and for those that have been on this journey of deep exploration this may be a gratifying experience that brings in new data regarding these "others" amongst us. Nathaniel's new website: https://parasymposia.comTips are most welcome:⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠buymeacoffee.com/niish⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Our website:⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://thecosmicsalon.com⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠I want to thank the producers of this show:Meredith Walako (Scheduling, bookings, and social media manager).

Animals are going extinct at an alarmingly fast rate, largely due to human activity. Same for plants. This is bad for all kinds of reasons, not least of which is that breakthrough drugs often come from nature. But there isn't consensus on how to save these species. Part of the debate asks the economic question: with limited money going to the work, where will it have the most impact? Today on the show, the cost-effective plan to maximize biodiversity that asks ecologists to approach the question more like economists. Related episodes: The Habitat Banker The echo of the bison Savings birds with economics For sponsor-free episodes of The Indicator from Planet Money, subscribe to Planet Money+ via Apple Podcasts or at plus.npr.org.

00:45 The ant queen that can produce two different speciesResearchers have made an unusual observation that appears at odds with biology: an ant, known as the Iberian Harvester Ant can produce offspring of two completely different species. Many ants need to mate with other species to produce workers that are a genetic mix of the two, known as hybrids. But in Sicily, a team found hybrid worker ants but no trace of the father. They suggest that the one species present, Messor ibericus, is able to lay its own eggs, but also eggs of another species, Messor structor. These offspring can then mate to produce the hybrid workers. This strategy conflicts with several conventional definitions of what a species is, which may prompt a rethink of these already blurry concepts.Research Article: Juvé et al.News and Views: Ant queens produce sons of two distinct speciesNews: ‘Almost unimaginable': these ants are different species but share a mother09:33 Research HighlightsHumans are living longer but a life expectancy of a hundred appears out of reach — plus, how light pollution is making birds sing for longer.Research Highlight: When will life expectancy reach 100?

Steel truss bridges are a common kind of bridge, but many are ageing and under increased pressure due to climate change and increased vehicle loads. To understand how damage affects these bridges a team of engineers built a scale replica of a bridge section and monitored how it coped when different sections were cut. They found six distinct resistance mechanisms that allowed the bridge to continue carrying heavy loads even with the damaged sections. They hope these data will help fortify existing bridges and inform the design of future bridges to help prevent catastrophic collapse.Research Article: Reyes-Suárez et al.18:37 Briefing ChatThe chemistry underlying why beer drinkers fall into two taste camps, and how a deep-sea worm uses arsenic to survive its toxic environment..Nature: Beer lovers fall into two flavour camps — which one are you in?Science: Deep-sea worms fight poison with poison to survive in hydrothermal ventsSubscribe to Nature Briefing, an unmissable daily round-up of science news, opinion and analysis free in your inbox every weekday.

How are species boundaries maintained when groups of related plant species live near each other? Considering all the things that need to go right for a plant to survive and reproduce, this is not an easy question to answer. Luckily, the genus Lobelia offers multiple opportunities to explore concepts related to plant coexistence and evolution and that is exactly why Dr. Andrea Case is drawn to this genus. Join us for a fascinating discussion about species coexistence and the maintenance of species boundaries in a wild system.
