Poetry from NonBinary Review Issue #39: Mistaken Identity

Sunflowers come in all shapes and sizes, and the group has gained a new member. Nicknamed the “woolly devil,” Ovicula biradiata is the product of the amazing bi-national collaboration between taxonomists, conservationists, and community scientists in Big Bend National Park. But it comes at a time when the future of National Parks is uncertain.“I think this particular discovery has inspired a lot of people outside of the world of biodiversity science to recognize that we still have a lot of work to do in terms of just describing the biodiversity in environments as iconic as the US National Parks” says Isaac Lichter Marck, one of the taxonomists involved in the description. “We assume that because it's found within a US national park that it'll be within an environment that's preserved into the future. That's been the ideal of national parks. But I think in the current reality we have to be cautious about that assumption.”Listen in to learn more about Isaac and his work, the tremendous effort that went into this discovery, and what the future might look like for this little plant and others.Isaac Lichter Marck's paper “Ovicula biradiata, a new genus of Compositae from Big Bend National Park in Trans-Pecos Texas” is in issue 252 of PhytokeysIt can be found here: https://doi.org/10.3897/phytokeys.252.137624A transcript of this episode can be found here: Isaac Lichter Marck - Transcript New Species: Ovicula biradiataEpisode image credit: Cathy HoytOther articles about this new species:https://www.npr.org/2025/02/26/nx-s1-5308248/wooly-devil-new-species-genus-big-bendhttps://www.nps.gov/bibe/learn/news/new-plant-species-discovered-in-big-bend.htmArticles about cuts to National Parks staff and funding:www.bbc.com/news/articles/czx7kez4vx2owww.npr.org/2025/02/28/nx-s1-5304434/what-doge-cuts-could-mean-for-national-park-visitorswww.npca.org/articles/6614-five-ways-president-trump-s-executive-orders-could-harm-national-parksFollow Isaac on social media:Bluesky: @ca-naturalist.bsky.socialInstagram: California_naturalistTwitter: @ca-naturalistBe sure to follow New Species on Bluesky (@newspeciespodcast.bsky.social) and Instagram (@NewSpeciesPodcast) and like the podcast page on Facebook (www.facebook.com/NewSpeciesPodcast).Music in this podcast is "No More (Instrumental)," by HaTom (https://fanlink.to/HaTom)If you have questions or feedback about this podcast, please e-mail us at NewSpeciesPodcast@gmail.comIf you would like to support this podcast and enjoy bonus episodes, please consider doing so at https://www.patreon.com/NewSpeciesPod

You better be hungry for this episode! Artemis Program Manager Annita Lucchesi shows Artemis Coordinator Paige McMahon and YOU how to make contemporary recipes with Indigenous ingredients such as steelhead, elk, huckleberries, and wild rice.  RECIPE  While these recipes are not traditional to any tribe, they do utilize traditional Indigenous foods. The goal in sharing these recipes is to remind folks that Indigenous foods are more accessible than we realize, highly versatile, easy to work with, and usable in a wide variety of cooking styles. Whether you're Indigenous or not, Indigenous foods belong in your kitchen! Every ingredient used is Indigenous to the Americas.   Note: I am a home cook that does not believe in precise measurements. For that reason, you won't see specific measurements in the ingredient lists below. Instead, I use descriptions of texture to give you a feel for what it should look or feel like as you go. As always, do what feels right for your palate and the size of the party you're cooking for.   Prickly Pear Glazed Steelhead  Ingredients:  Steelhead filet  Prickly pear jam  Sunflower oil  Coarse sea salt  Directions:  Preheat oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit.  In a small bowl, mix sunflower oil, salt, and prickly pear jam until evenly blended. Consistency should be similar to a thick salad dressing – thin enough to drizzle, but thick enough to lather onto the fish.   Place steelhead filet in an oven-safe pan. Spoon prickly pear glaze over the fish, making sure to spread a medium-thick layer evenly.   Bake steelhead in the oven until it is cooked to desired texture.     Wild Rice & Elk Meatballs  Ingredients:  Ground elk meat  Huckleberries  Wild rice  Mixed wild mushrooms (chanterelles recommended)  Flat (mountain) cedar  Bear root (or osha root)  Coarse sea salt  Directions:  In a large deep pan, add mushrooms, small chunks of bear root, and a pinch of cedar to water. Fill level should be deep enough to create a broth to cook the meatballs in, but not so deep that it will boil over once you add the meatballs. Place the pan on the stove on medium heat, high enough to create a flavored broth.   In a large bowl, mix ground elk, huckleberries, wild rice, a pinch of flat cedar, and salt. The final texture of the mix should be sticky enough for the meatballs to hold shape, but wet enough to remain moist after cooking in the broth.   Form meatballs by rolling between your palms – they should be approximately 1” thick.   Place meatballs directly into the broth on the stove. Turn as needed, and add additional water as needed (the rice will soak up the broth as they cook; the pan should always maintain broth in it because the rice needs the moisture). Cook thoroughly, until meat and rice are fully cooked.     Roasted Maple Chili Sweet Potatoes & Mushrooms  Ingredients:  Diced sweet potatoes  Chanterelle mushrooms (or other wild mushrooms)  Maple syrup  Guajillo chili powder  Sunflower oil  Coarse sea salt  Directions:  Preheat oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit.   Place diced sweet potatoes and mushrooms in an oven-safe pan (cast iron preferred).   In a small bowl, stir sunflower oil, salt, guajillo, and maple syrup until evenly mixed. Feel free to taste as you go and modify the sweet/spicy level to your preference.   Pour the glaze over the potatoes and mushrooms, and stir to ensure pieces are evenly coated.   Bake until potatoes are soft and easily broken with a fork.   Learn more about your ad choices.

Sunflowers stand tall, their golden faces turned toward the sky, following the light even as the winds blow. In this episode of Sleepy Seedlings, we wander through endless fields of sunflowers, exploring their quiet resilience and deep-rooted symbolism. From their ability to heal the earth to their presence in folklore and art, the sunflower is more than just a flower—it is a testament to endurance, hope, and the gentle strength found in nature. Three years after the full-scale invasion of Ukraine by Russia, we reflect on the enduring spirit of the Ukrainian people through "Wings", a poem by the beloved Ukrainian poet Lina Kostenko. It reminds us that even though we cannot fly, we all have something that lifts us—whether love, hope, kindness, or dreams. Like the sunflower standing firm through storms, Ukraine continues to persevere, turning always toward the light. So, settle in, let the warmth of the sunflowers surround you, and rest in the quiet promise of a new day.Слава Україні. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

It started as a way to block out a bit of ugly stuff and has blossomed into a community fundraiser. Last November a Temuka couple planted three hectares of their South Canterbury property in sunflower seeds, 10,000 to be exact and crossed their fingers they would bloom in perfect time to act as a backdrop for their wedding this month. The couple is opening their sunflower patch up to the public for a fundraising photo op, with proceeds from the entry fee going to the local kindy. Claire Goodwin spoke to Lisa Owen.

Today we're diving into an interesting topic that's been getting a lot of attention lately—linoleic acid from seed oils, and how it can influence fat cells, metabolism, and ultimately, our weight. Today, we're not diving into a particular peptide. Instead, let's shine the spotlight on linoleic acid, a PUFA (polyunsaturated fatty acid). Understanding how PUFA's work is crucial for optimizing our health journey, especially when we're incorporating peptide therapy, as these fatty acids play key roles in inflammation, impacting our fat cells, metabolism, and cell structure.  Stick around as I try to break it all down. How do fat cells work in the body? First, let's take a step back and understand how fat cells work in the body. Our fat cells, also known as adipocytes, play an important role in regulating our energy balance. They store fat to be used as energy later, and they release hormones that help manage our hunger, metabolism, and inflammation. When we consume food, particularly excess calories, our bodies store this energy in fat cells. These cells don't just sit around passively; they grow, divide, and release various substances that help maintain homeostasis—or balance—within the body. But what happens when these fat cells are exposed to certain fats, like linoleic acid? What is linoleic acid? Linoleic acid is an omega-6 polyunsaturated fatty acid (PUFA). It's essential for our bodies, meaning we need to consume it through food, because our bodies can't produce it on their own. However, in recent years, there's been growing concern about the overconsumption of linoleic acid, especially from processed foods containing seed oils. You might be asking, "Where do we find this linoleic acid?" Great question! Seed oils are extracted from the seeds of plants and are often used in processed foods due to their ability to stay stable at high cooking temperatures. They are also found in salad dressings and fried foods. Additionally, linoleic acid is found in nuts and seeds, though the concentration is much lower than in seed oils. Some of the most common seed oils include: Canola oil (from the seeds of the rapeseed plant) Sunflower oil (from sunflower seeds) Safflower oil (from the safflower plant) Soybean oil (from soybeans) Corn oil (from corn) Grapeseed oil (from grape seeds) Cottonseed oil (from cotton seeds) These oils are highly refined and contain high levels of linoleic acid, which, as we discussed, is a polyunsaturated omega-6 fatty acid. While they're widely used in cooking, baking, and processed foods, the problem arises when these oils are consumed in excess, especially in comparison to omega-3 fats like those found in fish and flaxseeds. So what does all this linoleic acid do to our fat cells, particularly in large amounts?  Research has shown that excessive consumption of linoleic acid can have several notable effects on fat cells. 1. Fat Cell Hypertrophy Fat cell hypertrophy refers to the increase in the size of fat cells. When fat cells become swollen with fat, they can't function as effectively. In fact, linoleic acid has been shown to promote fat cell enlargement. In other words, when you consume too much of it, your fat cells may grow larger than they should, potentially leading to unhealthy weight gain and obesity over time. But there's more. As fat cells get larger, they also produce more of the hormones and signals that regulate your metabolism. This can cause an imbalance in your body's overall fat storage and energy regulation, leading to potential metabolic issues. 2. Impact on Fat Cell Hormones Fat cells secrete important hormones such as leptin, which regulates hunger and energy balance. However, excessive linoleic acid can alter this hormone regulation. When fat cells get too large and full of linoleic acid, they may lead to a decrease in leptin sensitivity, which can confuse the brain's hunger signals, potentially causing overeating or poor appetite control. This, in turn, may hinder your body's ability to regulate weight. And it doesn't stop there. Linoleic acid also affects adiponectin, another important hormone produced by fat cells that helps with fat breakdown and insulin sensitivity. Higher levels of linoleic acid have been linked to lower levels of adiponectin, which can result in poorer fat metabolism and higher risk for insulin resistance—a key factor in obesity and Type 2 diabetes. 3. Impacts fat cell division Now, let's talk about fat cell division—also known as adipogenesis. When the body does not have an excess of energy, fat cells primarily store energy in the form of fat (triglycerides) for future use. They remain relatively stable in size, and their role is to maintain energy balance by releasing stored fat when the body needs energy, such as during fasting or exercise. In contrast, when the body has excess energy, typically from overeating, fat cells take on a more active role by expanding in size (hypertrophy) to store the surplus calories. Once existing fat cells reach their storage limit, the body may also create new fat cells (adipogenesis) to accommodate the extra energy, contributing to weight gain. Studies suggest that excessive linoleic acid may interfere with fat cell division. This means the body could end up with fewer, but larger, fat cells. These large fat cells are not only inefficient at storing fat but are also linked to inflammation and metabolic diseases, including cardiovascular disease. How can I reduce my linoleic acid intake? Now, if you're worried about how much linoleic acid you might be consuming, you're not alone. In the modern Western diet, a typical person gets a significant amount of linoleic acid from seed oils (as we mentioned earlier) that are mainly found in processed foods. While these oils aren't inherently bad in moderation, the key, is balance. The body needs both omega-3 and omega-6 fatty acids in a certain ratio, but many people today are consuming far more omega-6 than omega-3s, which can skew this balance and potentially lead to inflammation and metabolic issues. So, what can we do about it? Well, the first step is to be mindful of the oils you're using. Olive oil, avocado oil, and coconut oil are all great alternatives to seed oils, as they contain healthy fats that are less likely to promote fat cell enlargement or disrupt hormone function. And of course, whole, nutrient-dense foods—like vegetables, fruits, lean proteins, and fatty fish—can help keep your body in balance, supporting healthy fat cells, metabolism, and overall well-being.

Carnie assured me she's never done an interview like this in her life, so it's an honor for Discograffiti's “Beach Boys: And Your Dreams Come True” Series to have had this opportunity. Here, then, is Part 2 of the longest interview Carnie's ever given, and on a subject she rarely talks about…her father's band, and what it means to her. She picked 7 of the most important Beach Boys albums of her life (plus a solo LP), which, if taken together, form a patchwork quilt that defines the essence of Dad as she knows him. We, of course, know him as Brian Wilson, and so rarely do we get to have such an intimate glimpse of him. Here's just a few of the many things Carnie discusses with Discograffiti in this podcast: What it was like living in Holland with her family in the early 1970s; How Carnie feels about Mike Love's demonized perception in the band; Brian's insane first anniversary gift to Marilyn; Carnie's amazing project with Dad that she wanted to produce, which he unfortunately rejected; And her feelings on Friends, Sunflower, Holland, and 15 Big Ones!

Are seed oils healthy?   The truth lies in the research. Dr. Roxie Becker does a deep dive into the data surrounding the controversial cooking oils. In a conversation with "The Weight Loss Champion" Chuck Carroll, Dr. Becker highlights misinformation surrounding seed oils, particularly the claim that they are inflammatory. Critics often reference a systematic review showing no significant difference in arachidonic acid levels in the body, regardless of linoleic acid intake.   However, Dr. Becker also emphasizes that seed oils should not be the primary focus of a diet due to their high fat and caloric values, both of which contribute to obesity.   The interview concludes with personal anecdotes about their vegan diets and health outcomes, underscoring the importance of evidence-based nutrition.   In This Interview   - Seed oils vs non-seed oils - Inflammatory seed oil science - Least healthy seeds oils - Does heating the oil make it worse? - Fat from seed oils vs. fat from animal sources - Fat sources, cholesterol and heart disease   — — SHOW LINKS — — Join Chuck and Dr. Will Bulsiewicz in Miami https://www.pcrm.org/events/bon-voyage-party-2025 — — — Studies Referenced Increasing linoleic acid in the diet doesn't change the amount of linoleic acid in the body https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC3132704/#sec9 Increasing linoleic acid did not increase markers of inflammation https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/28752873/ Cooking with peanut oil or corn oil did not increase markers of inflammation https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/32756661/ Flaxseed oil did not increase markers of inflammation https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/26959052/ Canola oil did not increase markers of inflammation https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/33127255/ Sunflower oil may lower markers of inflammation compared with butter https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/21430255/ Sesame seed oil may lower markers of inflammation compared to a control oil https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC3683238/ Soybean oil did not increase markers of inflammation https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/22031659/ Safflower oil did not increase markers of inflammation https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/12818406/ Minnesota Coronary Experiment https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC4836695/ American Heart Association core 4 trials on unsaturated fat vs saturated fat https://www.ahajournals.org/doi/10.1161/cir.0000000000000510   — — —   Free Athlete Nutrition E-Book https://www.pcrm.org/athlete — — BECOME AN EXAM ROOM VIP — — https://www.pcrm.org/examroomvip — — THIS IS US — — The Exam Room Podcast Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/theexamroompodcast — — — Chuck Carroll Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/ChuckCarrollWLC Facebook: http://wghtloss.cc/ChuckFacebook X: https://www.twitter.com/ChuckCarrollWLC — — — Physicians Committee Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/physicianscommittee Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/PCRM.org X: https://www.twitter.com/pcrm YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/user/PCRM Jobs: https://www.pcrm.org/careers — — SUBSCRIBE & SHARE — — 5-Star Success: Share Your Story Apple: https://apple.co/2JXBkpy​​ Spotify: https://spoti.fi/2pMLoY3 Please subscribe and give the show a 5-star rating on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, or many other podcast providers.
