Send us a textWhat if your body's natural healing abilities could repair injuries without surgery? That's the question Dr. Fawad Mian found himself asking after conventional treatments failed his own injuries.When Dr. Mian injured his shoulder, doctors immediately suggested surgery, telling him "hopefully we can get a surgery out of you." For his plantar fasciitis, steroid injections provided temporary relief but actually worsened his condition. These experiences led him to discover regenerative medicine techniques that harness the body's inherent healing capacities—treatments that ultimately repaired his own injuries and changed the trajectory of his medical practice.In our wide-ranging conversation, Dr. Mian reveals surprisingly simple strategies to protect your memory and cognitive function as you age. Sleep quality emerges as a critical factor—with the fascinating observation that during extended blackouts after Superstorm Sandy, chronic insomnia patients were suddenly falling asleep naturally by 8pm once electronic devices were unavailable. Dr. Mian recommends eliminating screens at least one hour (ideally two) before bedtime to reset your natural sleep rhythms.We explore how exercise directly benefits brain health by increasing blood flow and enhancing gray matter volume. Rather than extreme workouts, consistency proves most important—with Dr. Mian suggesting 4-5 weekly sessions combining strength training and cardio for optimal results. For those struggling to incorporate movement, even simple solutions like an inexpensive walking treadmill placed in front of your television can accumulate beneficial activity.Dr. Mian explains regenerative treatments like platelet-rich plasma (PRP) therapy, which concentrates healing factors from your own blood and delivers them precisely where needed. Unlike treatments from umbilical cord or other external sources (which Dr. Mian cautions against), these autologous approaches harness your body's natural repair mechanisms without introducing foreign materials.Beyond physical health, we discuss Dr. Mian's approach to maintaining positive mental health through gratitude practices and visualization techniques. His perspectives on spirituality, relationships, and community service reveal a holistic approach to wellbeing that complements his regenerative medicine philosophy.Ready to explore alternatives to surgery and discover how your body might heal itself?

Piping Plovers are tiny, sand-colored shorebirds that nest on the beach. They're threatened in much of their range. But plovers have gotten a boost from something rather surprising: hurricanes. Superstorm Sandy left behind plant-free, sandy beaches on barrier islands in New York and New Jersey, which actually offers better camouflage for nesting plovers. Where these hurricane-created habitats were protected, Piping Plovers have boomed.More info and transcript at BirdNote.org.Want more BirdNote? Subscribe to our weekly newsletter.

From The Sunday Story on NPR's Up First, hosted by Ayesha Rascoe.As North Carolina struggles to build back after Hurricane Helene, NPR correspondent Laura Sullivan travels to New York and New Jersey years after Superstorm Sandy to find how recovery efforts fell short. And we learn special interests are shaping how we put communities back together.  This episode was produced by Graham Smith and Andrew Mambo. It was edited by Jenny Schmidt and Robert Little. Kwesi Lee mastered the episode.This series was co-reported with NPR and FRONTLINE, Jonathan Schienberg, Kate McCormick, Dana Ervin, Lauren Ezell Kinlaw and Refael Kubersky.You can watch Hurricane Helene's Deadly Warning on FRONTLINE's website, FRONTLINE's YouTube channel, and the PBS App. 

Who manages “managed retreat”? In this episode, we examine the individual, institutional and societal dimensions of decision-making, as well as the household and community-level outcomes of relocation. We hear from Monique Coleman, who organized her neighbors to collectively advocate for buyouts after a series of floods that culminated with Superstorm Sandy, and from Tom Flynn, the flood manager overseeing the restoration of Monique's old neighborhood into a functional floodplain. We also hear from Mayor Andrew Nowick, who voices his constituents' desire to rebuild in place and prioritize alternative flood mitigation strategies over relocation. Experts Liz Koslov and Jim Elliott provide research-based frameworks to hold these different perspectives. Carried by Water is created and hosted by Mario Soriano.

A special edition of NJ Spotlight News on this Memorial Day. …As today kicks off the unofficial start to the summer season, when millions head to the Jersey Shore – we are bringing you an encore presentation of a documentary that we produced called Paradox: Rising Waters and Mounting Costs.  There's something about the water at the Jersey Shore. Sunny beaches and shallow surf have attracted families for generations; calming, scenic bays have drawn residents for even longer. Today the Shore is an economic powerhouse and cultural icon of the Garden State. But as climate change raises seas and fuels more dangerous storms, the costs of keeping the Shore open for business are becoming more expensive. High tides regularly flood neighborhood streets, an increasingly costly nuisance for locals. And memories of Superstorm Sandy serve as reminders of the potential damages a worst-case scenario can cause. Now, it's up to local, state, and federal leaders to figure out the best ways to protect the Shore — and how to pay for that work. Take a look …

Welcome back to Architecture 5 10 20! I'm your host, Guy Geier, Managing Partner of FXCollaborative Architects in New York. My guests for this podcast are pioneers and visionaries shaping the future of the built environment across various disciplines. Join me in exploring their remarkable journeys, discovering how they reach their current heights, and envisioning what lies ahead in the next 5, 10, and 20 years. Join me for this episode as I have an insightful conversation with Ilanah Judah, a former colleague of mine at FXCollaborative and now Americas Climate and Sustainability Leader at Arup. It has been so exciting to watch her grow into a major voice in climate resilience, and she brings a wealth of experience and clarity to a topic that is far too often misunderstood or oversimplified. Ilana unpacks what resilience really means in the context of the built environment and discusses why it's not just a checklist of add-ons. She explains how resilience differs from sustainability (even though they are deeply interconnected) and shares why thinking about resilience as an unbroken chain is so important for meaningful impact. Ilana and I talk through what a resilience journey can actually look like, from risk assessments and future scenarios to implementing and ongoing operations. She, in addition, reflects on how her career path shifted after Superstorm Sandy, why adaptation and emissions reduction need to be addressed together, and what is changing in how clients are thinking about climate risk today. If you are interested in how buildings and systems can actually prepare for (rather than just respond to) what is coming, then this one is definitely worth a listen. Ilana brings remarkable clarity to a topic that can easily get lost. Time stamps: [01:43] - Hear how Ilana's career in architecture evolved toward sustainability and resilience after witnessing Superstorm Sandy's devastation. [03:17] - A desire to understand resilience led Ilana to academia, consulting, and leadership at Arup. [06:46] - Ilana highlights the need for a shared definition of resilience. [08:57] - Ilana shares how she differentiates between sustainability and resilience. [12:31] - Ilana explains her thesis on adaptive mitigation. [13:34] - We discover that Ilana's resilience planning starts with risk assessments, aligning goals, and relocation if necessary. [16:35] - Developing a resilience plan requires prioritizing risks, budgeting, financing, and ensuring long-term maintenance. [18:49] - Hear about how Ilana helps investors assess climate risks. [21:15] - Ilana points to some of the benefits of innovative tech such as AI. [24:47] - Professionals need to go beyond codes and historical data to address future climate realities in design. [26:17] - Resilience is becoming more and more important to standards, with insurance and mortgage shifts possibly leading to major migration. [29:42] - Ilana argues that resilience demands thinking across scales and identifying vulnerabilities and challenges.

As this is being written the firestorm in California is continuing. It is not only government that responds to disasters and the needs of disaster survivors and victims. The Disaster Accountability Project was created to help coordinate nongovernmental organizational efforts. To date, the site has more than 900 organizations registered worldwide. Following a stringent review process, organizations are presented with information that displays proximity to a specific crisis, and the range of services provided to survivors, and a detailed but easy-to-digest overview of the organization's financial health – which gives an indication of the percentage of aid that will be directly passed on to survivors. You can find all the details at www.smartresponse.org  The podcast guest is Ben Smilowitz, ben@disasteraccountabilityproject.org  He witnessed the bungled Hurricane Katrina response while managing a high-volume Red Cross Client Service Center in Gulfport, MS. Soon after, Ben launched Disaster Accountability Project, an independent watchdog, to confront the root causes of the failed Katrina response and maximize the impact of billions of dollars of disaster relief and humanitarian aid.   Disaster Accountability Project has successfully advocated for the release of millions of dollars of disaster relief and recovery funds after Superstorm Sandy, investigated deficiencies in emergency planning surrounding 19 commercial U.S. nuclear power plants, and improved the transparency of nearly 2 billion dollars of disaster relief donations after disasters in the U.S., Haiti and Nepal.  Under Ben's leadership, DAP's reports, advocacy, and op-eds have been covered by global news media including The Washington Post, Wall Street Journal, and CNN. Many of DAP's successes over its thirteen years are attributable to the hundreds of volunteers from around the world that Ben has recruited and managed.  Prior to starting DAP, Ben had a background in youth civic engagement and issue advocacy. He wrote successful legislation in Connecticut and created a Youth Cabinet in Missouri. Ben studied Political Science and Nonprofit Management and holds a law degree from the University of Connecticut School of Law.Please visit our sponsors!L3Harris Technologies' BeOn PPT App. Learn more about this amazing product here: www.l3harris.com Impulse: Bleeding Control Kits by professionals for professionals: www.dobermanemg.com/impulseDoberman Emergency Management Group provides subject matter experts in planning and training: www.dobermanemg.com

Bill Horan and Stacy Raine learned that people in Freeport were upset when back in 2022, a very popular ice cream shop called Pip's Ice Cream Parlor was forced to close to do storm damage from Superstorm Sandy and rising rent costs. But since 2024, it's back, under a new name, thanks to an amazing local hero who helped financially and emotionally bring it back to life, now called Sam's Scoops - located inside Sparkle on Stage Cultural Arts Center on Woodcleft Avenue in Freeport. They speak with Robyn Workman, the owner and proprietor of Sparkle on Stage Cultural Arts Center, and the biggest sponsor of Sam's Scoops in Freeport.

Katie Campbell is the President and CEO of RedRover, a national animal welfare nonprofit organization based in Sacramento, California. Campbell assumed this role in March 2024. Campbell has been with RedRover for eight years, previously serving as the Director of Collaboration and Outreach. In this role, she supported the organization's outreach, awareness, and capacity-building efforts, particularly for their domestic violence assistance programs. She is passionate about animal welfare and has a strong background in the nonprofit sector. Campbell holds a Bachelor of Science degree in Sociology and Criminal Justice from Lees-McRae College and a Master of Arts degree in Sociology from California State University, Sacramento. Since 1987, RedRover has been a lifeline for animals in need. As a national animal welfare nonprofit, we're there for animals during emergencies, disasters, and times of crisis. Our three programs work together to provide comprehensive support: RedRover Relief offers grants for emergency veterinary care, including the Safe Housing and Purple Leash Project, which helps domestic violence survivors and their pets escape abusive situations.

Episode 146: Architecture, And: Design Crises, Past and FutureAs architects, how can we adapt to technological advancements like AI and be proactive in the face of disasters and climate change?On this episode of Practice Disrupted, renowned designer, educator, writer, and post-disaster expert Eric J. Cesal discusses being an architecture optimist within the current landscape, how technology is evolving, where the opportunities lie, and what architects need to focus on going forward. Eric is recognized for leading reconstruction efforts after major disasters like the Haiti earthquake and Superstorm Sandy. First, Eric highlights his journey to becoming a disaster architecture expert. He talks about completing his degrees amidst Hurricane Katrina and the 2008 recession, which deepened his appreciation for design.Then, we shift the conversation to the impact of automation on architecture and the disruptive potential of AI. Eric shares where he is already seeing the impact of AI and offers perspectives on how we can get proactive in using it. He suggests that architects should be involved with the evolution of AI from the beginning so that our voice is included in the process. Half of the world's cities are going to be underwater by 2100. We're gonna have to redesign or relocate most of the world's major cities. It's going to be horrible, but it's a really exciting design challenge. The more proactively we engage that opportunity, the more architects put themselves out in front, and the better the outcomes for everybody else. I think that it's central to my optimism that behind every crisis is an ability to build something better than what existed before. - Eric J. Cesal To wrap up the episode, Eric shares advice for young architects looking to design for an AI-first future. He encourages designers to "design themselves," diversify their knowledge, be proactive, and stick to their values.

The reserve, first established in 2014 after Superstorm Sandy left motorists in the northeastern United States without fuel, is located in New York Harbor, New York, Boston, Massachusetts and Portland, Maine. The proceeds from the sale of the refined products in the reserve would be deposited into the Treasury's general fund, according to the text of the bill, which is likely to pass this week. Once the Northeast Gasoline Supply Reserve is closed, the secretary of energy cannot establish any new regional petroleum product reserve unless funding is explicitly requested in advance of an annual budget submitted by the president and approved by Congress, the bill stipulates.   The U.S. House of Representatives will have to vote on the bill first before the Senate can take up the package before Friday, Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer said.

In an essay published on the Atlanta Fed's website, Bostic argued that the Fed should take a cautious approach to the economy, cognizant that the danger of higher inflation remains and easing monetary policy could fan the flames of rising prices. In particular, Bostic warned that a premature rate cut could trigger a surge of business activity that would raise demand and push inflation higher. “I asked one gathering of business leaders if they were ready to pounce at the first hint of an interest rate cut,” Bostic said. “The response was an overwhelming ‘yes.'” Source: breitbart.com Political/Rights Hunter Biden helped hire aides who mishandled Joe's classified documents

The plaintiff says the defendant hired him to deejay and photograph a sweet 16 party, and everyone had a blast. The defendant stiffed him on the payment, so he's suing for his hard-earned money. The defendant says the plaintiff negotiated a deal on the side to photograph the event, and the client wasn't happy. She's countersuing for loss of future business and defamation. The plaintiff says the defendant cut him off on the road one day, and he hit a curb when he swerved to avoid her. He ruined his wheels and cracked the car frame, so he's suing for repair costs. The defendant says the plaintiff was tailgating her, so she changed lanes. He then pulled up next to her and blamed her for his car damages even though there was no curb. The plaintiff says he rented an apartment from the defendant, but it flooded to the ceilings during Superstorm Sandy. The defendant evicted him and threw out all his belongings, so he's suing for the state maximum. The defendant says he told the plaintiff to remove his items before the contractors began repairs, but he abandoned his stuff. Don't forget to rate and subscribe so you never miss an episode.

Superstorm Sandy in 2012 flooded 17% of New York City and caused $19 billion in damage.  In its aftermath, plans emerged to create floodwalls, raised elevations, high-capacity drainage, and other infrastructure to protect the city from future Sandy-like events. Like all large infrastructure projects in densely populated places, the remaking of New York's shoreline has […]

Climate change is increasing flood risk worldwide.  Climate change is intensifying flood risk around the world, with potentially devastating consequences for communities and infrastructure.  As the planet gets hotter, the atmosphere's capacity to hold water vapor increases, leading to more frequent and intense precipitation events in certain regions.  Extreme rainfall events can overwhelm stormwater and other drainage systems and result in dangerous flash flooding. A 2021 study published by the American Meteorological Society found that for every 1°C rise in global temperature, the intensity of extreme rainfall events increases by 7 percent.  Sea level rise, driven by melting glaciers, is also causing coastal flooding and erosion in many parts of the world.  Sea levels could rise by an average of 10 - 12 inches in the U.S. in the next 30 years (2020 – 2050)—as much as the rise measured over the last 100 years (1920 - 2020).  By the end of the century, sea levels could be as much as 3.6 feet higher than they are today, putting nearly 200 million people at risk.   These changes are already having real-world consequences. In 2021, severe flooding in Germany, Belgium, the Netherlands, and other European countries killed over 200 people and destroyed entire towns.  In the United States, severe coastal flooding from Superstorm Sandy was partially caused by unusually high storm surges attributed to sea level rise.  While these challenges may be daunting, there are concrete actions we can take now to increase our resilience, such as greater investment in flood control infrastructure and natural interventions to mitigate flood risk.  These and other solutions are discussed in more detail below.   A recent study indicates that climate change is increasing the risk of a “megaflood” in California.California has experienced great floods every century or so for many millennia, according to historical and climate records. The last great flood in California was in 1862, which inundated a 300-mile-long stretch of the Central Valley, including highly populated areas such as Sacramento.  The “Great Flood of 1862” is widely considered the benchmark for a “plausible worst-case scenario” flood in contemporary California. Recent research suggests that climate change has already increased the risk of extreme floods in California, and that it is likely to significantly increase the risk of even more extreme floods in the future. A 2022 study by UCLA climate scientist Daniel Swain and fellow researcher Xingying Huang found that despite the recent prevalence of severe drought, California faces a broadly underappreciated risk of severe floods. The study indicates that climate change has already doubled the risk of a present-day megastorm, relative to a century ago, and more than tripled the risk of a trillion-dollar megaflood like the Great Flood of 1862.  It further found that larger future increases are likely due to continued warming.  These ominous findings have direct implications for flood and emergency management, and climate adaptation activities.Governments should implement strategies to mitigate and adapt to the growing risk of floods.According to Dr. Swain, addressing flood risk is a societal challenge that requires action at the local, state, and federal government levels. He recommends action to assess flood risk, strengthen flood control infrastructure, implement natural interventions to mitigate flood risk, and explore innovative approaches to flood management: Assess flood risk: FEMA's flood maps, which are now known to be woefully inadequate, should be improved and updated.Strengthen flood control infrastructure: Weaknesses in levees, dams, and urban flood conduits should be identified and rectified through research and funding.Implement natural interventions to mitigate flood risk: Long-term flood risk mitigation may involve natural interventions such as floodplain restoration or moving levees away from the river, giving rivers more room to expand without flooding highly populated cities or critical infrastructure.Explore innovative approaches to flood management: Forecast Informed Reservoir Operations (FIRO) and Flood Managed Aquifer Recharge (Flood-MAR) are innovative approaches that could drive advances in flood management. FIRO involves using high-quality weather forecasts to dynamically operate reservoirs and water releases, while Flood-MAR involves leveraging flood flows to store water in natural aquifers underground (which can have the added benefit of returning water to depleted aquifers).Who is Daniel Swain?Daniel Swain, Ph.D., is a climate scientist who holds joint appointments at UCLA's Institute of the Environment and Sustainability, the Capacity Center for Climate and Weather Extremes at the National Center for Atmospheric Research, and as the California Climate Fellow at The Nature Conservancy. His research focuses on the dynamics and impacts of the Earth's changing climate system, with a particular emphasis on regional climate extremes such as droughts, floods, and wildfires. Dr. Swain's work includes understanding the processes driving severe droughts and "megafloods" in a warming climate, as well as the climate-related factors behind increasingly severe and destructive wildfires in the American West.

Nailing down your brand voice is tough. Especially when you're writing content for videos, blogs, Instagram, Twitter, TikTok…we could go on forever. Because a strong brand voice helps you stand out, drives brand affinity, and improves conversion rates. But where do you even start? What tone do you use? How wordy or concise should you be? We have answers for you. We're tuning in to the Queen of brand voice today: Taylor Swift. Along with VP of Brand, Content and Communications at ZoomInfo, Meghan Barr, we're exploring how Taylor Swift listens to her audience, how she defines her writing style, and how that changes with each reinvention.

As a reporter based in several Midwestern cities and, later, New York City, she broke news about serial killers, witnessed a death row execution by lethal injection, followed politicians on the 2008 presidential campaign trail, drove through flooded roadways, chased ambulances and tornadoes, climbed to the top of the World Trade Center on a rickety ladder, interviewed famous athletes, and generally had a lot of amazing adventures.

She was originally known for country music but is overall considered a pop artist. She has collected Grammys, American Music Awards, Billboard Music Awards, and more #1 albums than any other woman ever. She has a strong, defined personal brand that fans tap into, namely the red lipstick, wearing the number 13, and wearing friendship bracelets. She's also a strong advocate for artist's rights. What B2B Companies Can Learn From Taylor Swift:Decide who you are as a company. What are your values? What's your mission? How would you describe your company? Answer these questions first, and that will inform your brand voice. Meghan says, “Which brand archetype are you? You can be the hero. You can be a helper. It's an important question of like, ‘Who do you want to be as a company? Who do you want to be as a brand? What are you all about, basically?'Lurk on your audience. Tune into their social media to find out what matters to them. Then create content that plays to your audience's values. Taylor Swift calls her approach “Tay-lurking.” She investigates what fans are doing and saying on social media, and that's how she understands what they care about. She then builds it into content. This way, she gives fans what they want (another concert, hidden Easter eggs, etc.).Put effort into building your community. Community doesn't build itself; it depends on give and take. (Emphasis on the “give” part). The energy and attention that you invest in your community comes right back to you in the form of brand affinity. Taylor Swift is constantly engaging with her fans, whether it's at her concerts and giving away her black fedora to a special fan, on social media, or at meet and greets. She gives the impression of being very accessible, and that she “gets” her fans. So put some effort into building that emotional connection and reap the benefits.Reinvent your brand to renew audience interest. As your company grows and develops, refresh your brand to reflect the change. Taylor Swift has reinvented (aka rebranded) herself many times, from country music to pop, album to album. Each has had a different feel and look. Even the name of her tour - The Eras Tour - plays to this. She has grown and changed through each era, each album. And her fans have grown with her, gaining momentum. Taylor Swift even uses different voices in her songs. At the 2022 Nashville Songwriters Association International annual ceremony, she said she has three styles of lyrics: quill lyrics, fountain pen lyrics, and gel pen lyrics. The important part is that Taylor Swift is the one writing them. And it's her personal brand fans are attached to. She already made a psychological bond with them, and they are always looking out for new content from her. So keep your branding feeling fresh, including your brand voice, so your audience stays invested.Quotes*“The Tay-lurking thing is her listening. Like every good marketer, she spends time with the customers. She's out there listening to what her fans want and responding to that stuff. That's how she can layer in all these little hidden messages and hidden secrets and know that people are going to find them because she's probably reading how much people love that stuff.” - Ian Faison*”She's investing the time in her fans that they are investing in her. She's feeding the frenzy of her fans, of the community. You have to invest in your audience. You have to listen to them and actually put the work in.” - Meghan Barr*”One of the big marketing takeaways from Taylor Swift in the totality of her career is her acknowledgement that ‘I know my fans better than you know them.' She knows what she's making and who it's for. And if you don't like it, it's not for you.” - Ian Faison*"You can't be everything for everyone. You have to pick a lane, you have to decide what you're doing and commit to it.” - Meghan Barr*”If you don't know your audience, you're going to fail. You have to know who they are, what they think about, what they're worried about, what they're stressing about… you have to really put in that time and effort. Because otherwise you can't get inside their heads. You can't figure out what's going to resonate with them." - Meghan BarrTime Stamps[0:55] Meet Meghan Barr, VP of Brand, Content and Communications at ZoomInfo[1:33] Why are we covering Taylor Swift?[2:52] What does Meghan do at ZoomInfo?[4:07] Learn more about Taylor Swift[9:49] Why is Taylor Swift remarkable?[13:09] Why authenticity is more important today, after the advent of AI in marketing[24:14] More marketing takeaways from Taylor Swift[38:45] Learn about the modern go-to-market indexLinksListen to Taylor SwiftConnect with Meghan on LinkedInLearn more about ZoomInfoRead the AdWeek article on ZoomInfo's collaboration with ColossusCheck out ZoomInfo's go-to-market playsAbout Remarkable!Remarkable! is created by the team at Caspian Studios, the premier B2B Podcast-as-a-Service company.

Piping Plovers are tiny, sand-colored shorebirds that nest on the beach. They're threatened in much of their range. But plovers have gotten a boost from something rather surprising: hurricanes. Superstorm Sandy left behind plant-free, sandy beaches on barrier islands in New York and New Jersey, which actually offers better camouflage for nesting plovers. Where these hurricane-created habitats were protected, Piping Plovers have boomed.More info and transcript at BirdNote.org. Want more BirdNote? Subscribe to our weekly newsletter.

A Boost For U.S. Electric Vehicle Battery Production This week, the Biden administration announced it would issue grants totaling some $2.8 billion to increase U.S.-based production of electric vehicle batteries and mining of the minerals used in their manufacture. The grants would go to companies in 12 states to help boost domestic production of key battery ingredients such as lithium, graphite and nickel, reducing the country's reliance on China and other foreign battery producers. Casey Crownhart, a climate and technology reporter at MIT Technology Review, joins John Dankosky to talk about the plan and the road ahead for U.S.-based electric vehicles. They also talk about a surge in renewables use in Europe, new options for COVID vaccine boosters, charges of environmental racism against the state of Louisiana, and new research into why some of us seem to be magnets for mosquito bites.   Climate Change's Toll On Our Social Fabric Climate change is already driving many visible effects in our world, from extreme flooding to the extinction of species. It threatens agriculture and life on coastal lands. But researchers predict a changing climate can also affect humans in other, more nuanced ways, including changes in human behavior and mental health. Co-host Shahla Farzan talks to Stanford researcher Marshall Burke, whose research has looked at the link between climate extremes, including heat waves and drought, and historic and contemporary conflicts. Plus, John Dankosky interviews Queens College neuroscientist Yoko Nomura about her work finding high rates of childhood psychiatric disorders among children whose mothers were pregnant, and under extreme stress, during 2012's Superstorm Sandy—a hint at the generational toll of intensifying disasters. They discuss why the answer to both challenges may be providing more social and economic support to those most vulnerable to stress as the globe warms.   The Mysterious Case Of Alaska's Crabs For the first time ever, the Bering Sea snow crab fishery will not open for the upcoming season. Alaska's Department of Fish and Game announced the closure Monday afternoon. The Bristol Bay red king crab fishery will also be closed this year — for a second year in a row. Gabriel Prout co-owns the F/V Silver Spray with his dad and brothers. The Silver Spray is a 116-foot steel crabber that's homeported in Kodiak. He said he wasn't surprised that Fish and Game closed the king crab fishery — in a normal year, he'd go out for king crab, too. But numbers have been on the decline and that fishery didn't open last year, either. “The real shocking part is the total and complete collapse of the snow crab fishery which no one expected last year when it happened, and a complete closure this year was equally as shocking,” Prout said. Miranda Westphal, an area management biologist with Alaska's Department of Fish and Game, said the sudden decline in snow crab came as a shock to biologists as well. Back in 2018, there was record recruitment in the Bering Sea snow crab stock. Those numbers started to go down in 2019, and there was no survey in 2020 due to the pandemic.

In Hawai'i, Conservation Has Also Provided Fishermen Economic Benefits Papahānaumokuākea Marine National Monument, along the northwestern Hawaiian islands, has been under some kind of conservation protection since the days of Theodore Roosevelt's presidency. It is a deeply sacred place to native Hawaiians. And at more than 583,000 square miles, it's also the world's largest fully protected no-fishing zone, after its expansion under the Obama administration in 2016. Marine protected areas like Papahānaumokuākea are designed to provide refuge to fish and other marine mammals that have been overexploited and otherwise threatened by human activities. But research has remained inconclusive on if these protections provide enough benefits to nearby areas to blunt the economic impact of exclusion zones. This is especially debated in the case of big, mobile, migratory species like Hawai'i's all-important bigeye and yellowfin tuna. Now, new research from an interdisciplinary team of economists and ecologists looked at how well Hawaiian tuna fishermen did when they fished close to the monument, and further away. And they found, to their surprise, that there was a strong benefit, which increased in the years after the monument's expansion. Fishermen near the monument caught more tuna, for the same amount of effort, than fishermen further away. Co-host Shahla Farzan talks to first author Sarah Medoff about the surprising findings, and why the economics of a marine protected area might matter to conservation decisions.   Transcripts for each segment will be available the week after the show airs on sciencefriday.com.
