“Losing the Trail” ~Noah Charney. These Trees Tell a Story: The Art of Reading Landscapes. Yale University Press; New Haven and London: 2023. Pages 25-26. Following the trail is the easiest way to be lost. Sure, that trail might takes us to a preordained destination faster, but we'll have no idea where we are when we get there. While we're on the trail, we lose track of what's around us and where we are in space—we are lost. We put our trust in the trail, ceding responsibility. We give up our awareness, our senses, our minds. Our interface with the landscape boils down to just two numbers: the total length of the trail and the distance we've traveled. Staring at the path a few feet in front of us, we are not fully engaged with the surrounding world. Step off that path and suddenly we have to look up. Look at the shape of the land and decide how steeply we want to climb. Look at the trees in the distance and pick a target to walk toward. Keep looking behind so that we will recognize the forest when we encounter it from the other direction on our return trip. Study the shrub layer for gaps to duck through, following the occasional animal trails worn through the denser areas. Use the network of deer paths when traversing steep slopes to gain level footing. Keep an eye out for poison ivy, rose thorns, and ticks waving their arms in hopes of catching a ride. Study the patterns of light for clearings. Monitor the changing habitats near and far: white tops of sycamores in the distance signaling a creek; chestnut oaks nearby telling us we've reached the drier hilltops; the banjo-like plunk of a lone green frog calling from the wetland ahead that we hope to steer around. Keep an eye on the rising sun and remember where south is as we walk. This whole time, we maintain a map of the landscape in our heads, filling in the details as we go. That is how we get to know the world and our place in it. My practice perspective on “Losing the Trail” ~ Flint Sparks Do I dare step off the narrow path of certainty and predictability? If I do, I suddenly and naturally look up — and look out at the shape of the landscape I find myself in and decide how to take the next step. I look at the ways I have imagined my life and its fantasied destinations and then I pick a target to walk toward, knowing it is an illusory horizon, so I hold it lightly. I shouldn't forget to look behind so that I will recognize where I came from and how it influences where I am going. Surprisingly I realize, no matter where I walk, no matter what direction, I am always home. Studying the layers of my mind and my heart for spacious openings, following the occasional trailheads worn through the denser areas of experience, I use the network of paths used by others when traversing the most challenging terrain to gain some footing. I keep an eye out for painful patterns, habits that harm, and old familiar beliefs hoping to catch a ride. I study the patterns of light and dark for clarity and openings. I monitor my changing relationships both near and far: a smile inviting connection; a dark mood signaling familiar trouble; the timber of a voice that reminds me to take extra care as I meet. I'd best keep an eye on the rising sun of love and kindness and I hope to remember to take curiosity and compassion as my two walking poles. The map of the landscape I draw in my mind begins to shift and adapts to the every changing conditions as I go along. That is how I get to know the world of freedom and my place in it. This how I come to know the true wonder of the circle of the Way.

In part two of our chat with Andy and Taylor, we continue our conversation on mentors, service, and get into the art of telling a story. Whether visual, written, or spoken, a good tale requires us to envision what we want to tell and then execute it. Give it a listen. It's spicy.

Are you measuring CME outcomes effectively or just tacking them on at the end? If you're involved in developing, measuring and reporting on CME outcomes, you know it's become an expected part of the process. But many CME providers still struggle with integrating outcomes throughout program design and implementation. This leads to poor practices like tacking on outcomes at the end, writing vague questions, and creating reports that fail to tell a compelling story. To truly demonstrate the value and impact of your education, outcomes measurement needs to be woven in from the very beginning. In episode 113 of Write Medicine Wendy Cerenzia and Emily Belcher of CE Outcomes share their hard-won insights on outcomes measurements. Tune in to: 1. Learn why and how to integrate outcomes planning into the earliest stages of educational design  2. Discover tips for writing effective outcomes questions that align with learning objectives and avoid common pitfalls 3. Understand what makes a compelling outcomes report that ties the story together for stakeholders Ready to uplevel your outcomes game? Takeaways 1. Outcomes measurement must be integrated from the beginning of educational planning and design, not tacked on at the end. Take action today by reviewing your process for integrating outcomes measurement into educational design. This will help you identify opportunities to involve outcomes experts earlier.  2. Effective outcomes questions align with learning objectives, avoid vagueness and confusing options, and consider the target audience, education format, and intended data use. Work with your faculty to carefully craft outcomes questions that align with objectives and will yield meaningful data. And consider pilot testing questions. 3. A compelling outcomes report ties the story together by connecting program goals, educational design, key findings, and important learnings. When you are writing your next outcomes report, challenge yourself to weave a coherent narrative that demonstrates the "why" behind the education and interprets the data to extract relevant insights. Focus on clearly communicating the impact and value.

How well do you really know the piece of land on which you live and garden, or the bigger landscape context it sits within—that forms your neighborhood, perhaps? A new book I've been reading called “These Trees Tell a Story: The Art of Reading Landscapes” takes the reader along on explorations through a diversity of places, looking for hints on how to “know thy land,” as its author Noah Charney suggests. Noah is an assistant professor of conservation biology at the University of Maine and coauthor with Charley Eiseman of the award-winning field guide “Tracks and Sign of Insects and Other Invertebrates” – one of my much-used favorites. On the website of the publisher of Noah's latest book, Yale University Press, it describes it as a “deeply personal master class on how to read a natural landscape and unravel the clues to its unique ecological history.” I'm glad to welcome Noah Charney as my guest today and learn more.

In this episode of the Yale University Press Podcast, we talk with conservation biologist Noah Charney about his new book, These Trees Tell a Story: The Art of Reading Landscapes.

We’ve all heard the old adage: Everyone needs an editor. Whether you’re working in print, film, or narrative audio — you need someone to check for structure, make sure you’re meeting deadlines, and generally help get the story to the finish line. Jen Chien, who works as an editor at Reveal from the Center for Investigative Reporting, compares it to being a midwife: Editors help people give birth to their projects and make sure they come to life. In this session from the 2019 Third Coast Conference, Jen Chien laid out what it takes to be a great editor, from the art of nurturing creativity in the people you work with to hands-on project management tips to keep the project moving. She also shared lessons from some of the top editors in the field on how to successfully guide producers through the process, without sacrificing rigor or craft.Click here to view the accompanying slide visuals for this sessions.Since this session was recorded, Jen Chien & Casey Miner have created an online survey to see who’s interested in trainings specifically for narrative audio editors.Sign up for Producer News to stay up to date on the latest from Third Coast.The 2019 Third Coast Pocket Conference season was co-produced by Neroli Price and Isabel Vázquez.

November 4, 1971 Jennifer Rose Cooke, a girl from California, just turned 18, goes missing in a frigid forest in West Germany. She has been hitchhiking. First she caught a ride with a trucker, then with a West German soldier. Maybe she was trying to visit a young professor she had met on the boat over from New York. On that trip, he had heard her say she might throw herself overboard. April 28, 1972 Another girl, just turned three, lives with her parents in a house in Laurel Canyon that lets the California rain in. Her biggest fear is of the brown snails in the garden; she will not cross the brick path if one is there. It is her father's twenty-sixth birthday; on this day his sister Jenny's remains are found. Officially, she died "of exposure," although a murder investigation is begun and the file remains permanently open.
