Southern right whales (Eubalaena australis) were named by whalers because their high oil content made them the "right" ones to kill.In the decades since whaling was banned, southern right numbers increased — but a new study shows that population growth stalled, and might've dropped a bit, despite current numbers still far below what they were in pre-whaling times.So what's going on with the southern rights?

This is the region where Carmen grew up, in the moderately-sized city of Ferrol. She studied Marine Ecology at university, and after completing her studies in Spain, she had the oportunity to do some postgraduate research overseas, and that brought her to Launceston, Tasmania. 15 years on, she is still there, but now working in the role of sustainability officer at the University of Tasmania's northern campus.

David Adams, Professor at the University of Tasmania

Iain has a background in ecology, being award his PhD in 2005. He successfully completed 2 post-docs, and was most recently a lecturer ay Macquarie University, where he gave a birds eye view and whole of systems approach to landscape function, including agriculture to the students. He has taken this view and applied it to Leap Farm.After talking to A/Prof Matt Harrison in the last episode, he was inspired to complete a carbon audit of our farm, discovering that we sequester at least as much as 3 times more carbon than we emit.  He did this through utilising the University of Melbourne GHG calculator. He developed a spreadsheet to be able to determine our Carbon Sequestration rate (direct link not yet available, head to our Website where we will post it). While none of the data you receive is robust enough to earn you ACCUs, it will certainly give you enough information about your farm or enterprise to determine where you sit in relation to carbon footprint, and will give you some guidance as to what levers you can pull to improve your carbon sequestration or decrease your emissions. And you certainly don't need a PhD to be able to complete it!For more assistance with the calculator, you can contact Iain at farmers@gmail.com or A/Prof Matt Harrision at matthew.harrison@utas.edu.au. Kate can be contacted at thecuriousfarmer@gmail.com or on FB and IG @LeapFarm.

Have you ever had to chose between buying food and buying a textbook? Surviving on a diet of mainly two-minute noodles, coffee, and plain pasta is a point of pride for many university students. But food insecurity is linked to a whole host of negative outcomes, including poor mental and physical health and – gasp! - bad grades. This week on Sustainability @ UTAS, we look at the intersection between food and sustainability with lecturer Sandy Murray. We discuss designing sustainable food systems, the impact of food insecurity on students, and creating a new sustainable food culture at UTAS. If you're interested in getting involved with the Sustainable Food on Campus strategy, feel free to send Sandy an email at sandra.murray@utas.edu.au. The UTAS Gardening Society can be found on Facebook at facebook.com/utasgardening. Got a story you think would be great for the podcast?

Does it take a crisis (or pandemic) for us to think a bit more deeply about what’s going on for other people? If so, what are the skills that we need to be a useful crisis buddy? In this episode Penny Terry takes a look at those little things that people are doing to keep an eye on others. We continue to follow the experience of tourism and hospitality manager Bianca Welsh who explains what she’s doing in her workplace to keep an eye on her employees and describes that extra weight of responsibility that we’re all feeling right now to support others. Mental Health Clinician Caroline Thain gives us the 101 of the ‘check-in’ conversation while Dr Nicholas Hookway, Senior Lecturer in Sociology at University of Tasmania, reminds us of the special role that community groups play in keeping us connected, and how we maintain these connections during a pandemic. Which is no surprise to our favourite fitness instructor Kylie Moore who describes how she’s seen the lives of her clients change once they become a member of a community group. Plus, it wouldn’t be an episode about helping others through a crisis if we didn’t talk about food; our ‘go-to’ supporting tool! Dietitian Ngaire Hobbins gives us some tips to make sure our efforts to provide for others doesn’t go to waste.

The Australian and Chinese diplomatic relationship is currently strained. What does that mean for our producers?

Join Nicole Bond as she talks to Patrick Hutchinson from the Meat Industry Council, Tony Russell from the Grains Industry Market Access Forum and Dr Matt Killingsworth, head of international politics at the University of Tasmania.

Scott Carver is a lecturer in wildlife ecology at the University of Tasmania who joins the show to discuss his research in the field of ecology and infectious diseases in wildlife, domestic animals, and humans. In this episode, you will learn: How Australian wombats have contracted sarcoptic mange and how the disease progresses within a wombat What ecological role the wombat plays and what types of human-wombat interactions commonly occur  What might explain the mystery of cube-shaped wombat poop Carver has a long-standing interest in connecting an understanding of ecosystem health with the health of animals and humans. Over the course of his education and career, he's conducted research on mosquito-borne diseases, viral transmission in bobcats, mountain lions, and domestic cats, and even chlamydia in koalas. These days, Carver's research revolves largely around sarcoptic mange in wombats. It's a disease that affects over 100 different species, including humans (when it affects humans, it is called scabies), and creates both conservation and animal wellness issues. His research is geared around trying to find disease management solutions for this disease in wombats and other affected species.   Carver explains that wombats suffer from a version of mange called crusted mange, which is a particularly severe form of the disease that ultimately results in death. He discusses the ways in which the low metabolic rate of wombats could contribute to the severity of sarcoptic mange, why he has chosen to focus on the wombat as a research subject for better understanding the disease, and much more.
