One day I was mindlessly scrolling on Instagram and a video stopped me in my tracks. This reel was from a 26-year old with a permanent job, offering some excellent career advice, well beyond his years. I was intrigued, but when I read his bio, saying “Steve Irwin X Tupac,” I was instantly hooked! Landing a permanent job is tough when you are first starting out, so this is an accomplishment in itself. Some of my friends with Master's degrees didn't get theirs until their late 20s or early 30s, and here was this young man without an advanced degree in one at 26. But what also struck me was the advice he was giving. A lot of the things are not necessarily hard or complicated, but simply what most people don't do because it does involve stepping out of your comfort zone. These are the kinds of things that actually get results, and the same kinds of things I tell my students to do, but that most people aren't willing to do…(cough cough intentional networking)... And of course his style of science communication really captured my attention! With an Instagram bio that read “Steve Irwin X Tupac," I had to learn more. And what better place than the Fancy Scientist podcast? José Juan Rodriguez Gutierrez works on threatened and endangered species in rural Humboldt County, California (he prefers to keep the organization he works for private). His job sounds like a nature lover's dream: getting to conduct wildlife surveys out in the forest, often setting up camera traps to understand the population dynamics of endangered species like the Humboldt marten. He's also worked on the California Condor Recovery Program, prairie, stream, and other restoration initiatives, as well as salmon research to name a few. José spends most of his time in the forest and lives in a small town of less than 20,000 people, yet he grew up in Long Beach, California, a big city with millions of people and stores at every corner! I ask José how he was able to land a permanent job at the young age of 26 and his personal path into place that looks so different from how he grew up. We get into practical tips for starting wildlife careers as José shares his unconventional approach to networking, starting with classmates and peers rather than jumping straight to established professionals, the mentors who went beyond their job description to make a real difference for him, and how he kept his career moving during the pandemic by teaching himself GIS when fieldwork wasn't an option.There are also some more unexpected parts of José's journey, including one of the ways he's passionate about getting conservation messages out: combining his love of hip-hop with the wildlife world.As a kid, he was shy and self-conscious about his accent, never picturing himself in front of a camera or a crowd. But his passion for communicating conservation superseded that, causing him to step out of his comfort zone, pursue a communication degree, practice, and hone his skills. And the results are incredible: He's grown his Instagram to nearly 20,000 followers since I first came across him and his posts reach hundreds of thousands of people! José opens up about how this wasn't always easy, and the more uncomfortable parts of building confidence and communication skills, something he had to work on early in his career. His passion for conservation overrode his insecurities, as well as his desire to reach all kinds of communities, especially the ones he is a part of.  He's especially intentional about communicating conservation back to his own community and other underrepresented groups historically excluded from science and nature education. As the child of immigrant parents, he felt isolated growing up, not speaking English at first, and rarely seeing anyone who looked or sounded like him in the wildlife field. Instead of leaving that part of himself behind, he wants Latino kids to see themselves in this work too. He believes they (and you!) belong in nature, even if you have not spent much time in it yet. You'll see that one way José does this as well as sets himself apart from other wildlife professionals on social media is through blending messages of conservation with hip-hop culture music, lending to his "Steve Irwin X Tupac" tagline on his Instagram bio. When he received a grant from Save the Redwoods League to study California condor reintroduction, he even made one of his three deliverables a hip-hop song about the species.You're going to walk away from this interview inspired, excited, and with a huge smile on your face, because not only is José's journey inspirational, but he's also super funny, has a diverse range of interests, and is beyond passionate about this field. He provided so many amazing tips, many of which I share with my own students, so make sure you stay tuned to the end, where I break down the most important concepts to take away to give yourself the competitive edge in this field.I'm so inspired by this episode that maybe I'll add “Elle Woods x Jane Goodall” to my Instagram bio.Specifically, we go over:What José does on a day-to-day basis working on endangered species conservation in a remote landscapeHow José landed a permanent job so young; his tips and and the unconventional, yet simple actions he took that lead him to successHow José went from living in one of the biggest cities in the US to working in a remote field location and what it's likeHow Advancement Via Individual Determination (AVID) became his first form of mentorship and helped him navigate applying to collegeWhy communication is so critical in conservation especially to groups historically excluded from the sciences, a necessity and not a luxuryWhy it's important to include creative messaging and his style of blending hip-hop and conservation, including his record about California condors. Why "Steve Irwin X Tupac" perfectly describes his approach to conservation communicationHis approach to networking, starting with peers before reaching out to more established professionalsThe mentors who shaped his path, including a high school teacher with a Ph.D. who chose to teach in an underserved communityJosé's unstoppable and “can do” attitude: How he kept his career moving during the pandemic when everything shut down by teaching himself GISHow he honed his communication skills by practicing and speaking by talking to himself in the mirrorHis process for creating the short-form videos that have grown his following like wildfireWhy no job is truly permanent, and how to build a career that can adaptAnd MORE!Jump Links5:13 Working in wildlife: camera traps, condors, and field life13:52 The reality of seasonal jobs and low pay in conservation15:00 Optimism amid a competitive job market16:39 How José got into wildlife (from TV to career)17:36 Family, toys, and childhood influences20:22 Blending hip-hop and conservation26:22 Curiosity as the core scientific skill30:47 Landing a permanent job (after 3 tries)32:27 Internships, mentors, and getting a foot in the door39:29 Networking tips that actually work50:51 His social media process and mindset53:45 Outro and key takeaways Dream of being a wildlife biologist, zoologist, conservation biologist, or ecologist?

Ten years. Three bankruptcies. Multiple trials. A lead plaintiffs' firm disqualified along the way. The Johnson & Johnson talc litigation has produced just about every issue a mass tort can produce, and for the tens of thousands of women waiting on it, the only question that ever mattered was whether it would actually resolve. On this episode of Climate Change Environment Science & the Law, host Gregg Goldfarb sits down with Cameron Stevenson, shareholder at Levin Papantonio and one of the primary attorneys involved in the litigation, to walk through the settlement that finally came together. Stevenson explains what "uncapped" means in practice, why the deal is built for current claimants rather than future ones, and why he believes the dollar for dollar recovery for those claimants is substantially better than what the $8.9 billion bankruptcy proposal would have delivered, since that plan would have absorbed future claims, state AG claims, and Canadian class claims and paid out over roughly 25 years. He also delivers the part of this episode that claimants most need to hear: having a filed case does not automatically mean qualifying. The settlement is built around epithelial ovarian cancer, and Stevenson explains why post-hysterectomy pathology is the document that determines eligibility, and why some cases filed early in the litigation may not make it through. From there, Gregg and Cameron lay out the process step by step: the registration window, the opt-in release, the proof phase, how a case gets plotted on the settlement grid, and the 95% participation threshold the deal has to clear. Stevenson also addresses future diagnoses, why ovarian cancer's long latency means new cases will keep surfacing for decades, and why anyone diagnosed down the road needs to be acutely aware of their own state's statute of limitations. The conversation closes with the reason this episode exists. Attorneys are inundated, calls are rushed, and clients are hanging up unsure of what they were just told. Gregg's call to action is simple: share this with someone who needs it, then take your questions back to your own lawyer.   Join Gregg and Cameron Stevenson on Climate Change Environment Science & the Law as they explore: 0:00 – "It Will Not Qualify" 0:13 – Did Talc Actually Settle? 0:58 – The Settlement Is Real, and It's Finalized 2:18 – Why a Smaller Number Beats the $8.9 Billion Bankruptcy Deal 4:05 – The Diagnoses Still Coming 30 Years From Now 5:22 – The One Document That Decides Your Claim 7:20 – Stop Doing the Math on What You'll Get 7:59 – Inside the Settlement Grid 10:45 – What You Need to Do This Week 11:39 – When the Money Actually Moves 14:47 – The Deadline That Can Still Cost You Everything   Cameron Stevenson is a shareholder at Levin Papantonio and one of the primary attorneys involved in the Johnson & Johnson talcum powder litigation, a mass tort spanning more than a decade, three bankruptcy attempts, and multiple trials.

Are you planning your Hawaii trip too early, too late, or just booking things in the wrong order?

Have you been applying and applying to wildlife jobs or experiences only to hear nothing back? That's exactly what happened to Dylan Karl despite having a degree from a prestigious university specializing in wildlife, a Master's degree, years of experience, and a wildlife biologist certification from The Wildlife Society. Dylan had seemingly everything, yet, he was applying to 30-50 jobs every season, but nothing was landing. Dylan's story is even more unique. Dylan was one of my Successful Wildlife Professional students, and when I first started working with him, he was working in a wildlife job, but unhappy. He felt that although he was technically involved in wildlife work mitigating damage at airports, he wasn't having the impact he wanted, and felt like he was spending a lot more time killing wildlife rather than saving it. So Dylan decided to join the Successful Wildlife Professional program and get help. And it paid off almost instantly! Within two months of the program, he applied for and got his dream job of working with Mexican wolves. This was a huge win and we were both so excited for his future! Because of these incredible results, I knew I had to have him on the Fancy Scientist podcast to share. But when I interviewed him, I was surprised he was no longer working there! It turns out that his story took an unexpected turn. Unfortunately, it's not uncommon for reality to not match up with expectations in our field… Dylan had always imagined himself as a bridge between wildlife and people, helping manage conflict and promote coexistence. But what he thought was a non-lethal position in Arizona turned out to not be so non-lethal after all, due to pressure from ranchers pushing for the lethal removal of federally protected wolves. This didn't sit right with him, and that misalignment caused him to rethink what he actually wanted out of his career.Luckily, he had the tools he learned from the Successful Wildlife Professional to lean back on. He used the trainings on understanding the jobs and workplaces and personal exercises to uncover his own desires and strengths to re-identify his dream job. He combined this with the wildlife-specific protocols in the application section to write competitive cover letters and resumes for his new dream path. He now works as a Preserve Management Assistant for the prestigious The Nature Conservancy in northwestern Minnesota, helping to manage approximately 300,000 acres of tallgrass aspen parklands through tools like prescribed burns and seed spreading. Every morning he wakes up feeling like he's taking care of the animals he loves' homes.Dylan also gives a behind-the-scenes look at what it's like to work at the Nature Conservancy and what prescribed fire management actually looks like, including how burning 400 acres of land can transform a smothered wetland into one teeming with native wildflowers, frogs, fish, and water birds just a month later. After the interview, I break down the key takeaways so you can apply them to your own path, including why "proven experience" beats just experience, why knowing your end goal changes everything, and why the workplace you choose matters just as much as the work itself.Specifically, we talk about:Dylan's winding path from watching Steve Irwin as a kid in Cincinnati to managing 300,000 acres with The Nature Conservancy in MinnesotaHis experiences with the Peace Corps, the Cincinnati Zoo, wind turbine curtailment, spotted owl research, and USDA Wildlife ServicesWhat it felt like to be in a position that looked good on paper but isn't aligned with your valuesHow you can still work in wildlife, but not feel like you are following your dream or having the impact you wantThe gap between the Steve Irwin version of a wildlife career and what most wildlife jobs actually look likeWhy sending 30 to 50 applications a season and taking the first offer isn't a career strategyWhat caused Dylan to break through and land his dream job on Mexican wolves within a couple of monthsHow Dylan used The Successful Wildlife Professional to get clear on what he actually wanted and land the Nature Conservancy jobHis tips for landing a job with The Nature Conservancy, including why seasonal positions are the right entry pointHow prescribed fire is used as a conservation tool, and what it's like to return to a burned unit a month later and find it thriving with lifeThe spotted owl courtship behavior story you didn't know you neededAnd more!Jumps Links3:28 Meet Dylan Karl4:50 Dylan's Winding Career Path5:24 Working at The Nature Conservancy6:26 Prescribed Fire & Conservation11:40 Dylan's Education & Background15:25 Peace Corps, Zoo Work & Master's Degree18:45 Working for USDA Wildlife Services22:51 The Non-Lethal Wolf Job That Wasn't24:19 Landing at The Nature Conservancy27:37 Is There a Bait & Switch in Wildlife Careers?31:46 Why Dylan Joined Successful Wildlife Professional32:36 Carpet Bombing Applications & Career Misalignment35:32 Finding His Dream: Habitat Management40:31 A Moment of Success in the Field42:36 What Makes Dylan a Fancy Scientist45:20 The Owl That Defended Her Mate46:49 How to Get a Job at The Nature Conservancy49:18 Is the SWP Program Worth It?Dream of being a wildlife biologist, zoologist, conservation biologist, or ecologist?

Is 65 the Right Time for a Reverse Mortgage? What You Need to KnowTurning 65 is a significant milestone, a moment often filled with reflection on the past and anticipation for the future. For many, it marks the official entry into retirement age, even if you're still enjoying your career. You might be thinking about your financial future, how to make your savings last, or simply how to ensure comfort and security in the years ahead. It's a common misconception that a Reverse Mortgage is only for those who are already retired and facing immediate financial hardship. In fact, one of the most powerful and often overlooked benefits of a Home Equity Conversion Mortgage (HECM), commonly known as a reverse mortgage, is its ability to grow over time, even if you're still working. Imagine having a financial safety net that actually expands each year, ready to support you when you truly need it. This proactive approach to financial planning can provide incredible peace of mind and flexibility, making your 65th birthday the perfect time to explore this smart strategy.Strategic Financial Planning: How a HECM Line of Credit Grows While You're Still WorkingAs you approach 65, your financial landscape likely includes your home - a significant asset that has built equity over the years. Many homeowners assume this equity is only accessible by selling their home or taking out a traditional loan with monthly payments. However, a HECM Line of Credit offers a unique alternative, especially for those who are still working and not yet ready to fully tap into their home's value. The magic lies in its growth feature: the unused portion of your line of credit actually increases over time. This isn't just a hypothetical benefit; it's a built-in feature designed to enhance your financial security.Think of it this way: you establish a HECM line of credit today, at 65. You might not need to draw any funds immediately because you're still working and your income is stable. Yet, that line of credit doesn't just sit there stagnant. The unused balance grows at the same interest rate as the loan, compounded over time. This means that the amount of money available to you in the future will be larger than what was initially approved, without you having to make any monthly payments (as long as you continue to pay property taxes, homeowner's insurance, and maintain the home). It's like having a financial reservoir that automatically replenishes and expands, creating a more substantial resource for your later years.This strategy is particularly appealing for those who envision a phased retirement or simply want to fortify their financial position without incurring new monthly obligations. By setting up a HECM line of credit now, you're essentially creating a future funding source that grows larger each year. This growth can significantly increase your available funds by the time you do decide to fully retire or if an unexpected need arises. It provides an incredible buffer against future uncertainties, allowing you to preserve your other retirement savings, like 401(k)s and IRAs, for as long as possible. The flexibility of a HECM line of credit means you can access funds only when you need them, in the amounts you need, without being locked into a fixed payment schedule.Imagine the freedom of knowing that if your income changes, or if an unforeseen expense comes up down the road, you have a growing pool of tax-free funds available from your home equity. This isn't about spending your equity today; it's about strategically positioning it to work harder for you tomorrow. It's a proactive financial move that offers security and peace of mind, allowing you to continue working on your terms, knowing that your home equity is steadily growing as a future financial resource. To understand how this growth feature could specifically benefit your financial planning, we encourage you to visit www.ddamortgage.com and connect with our experts.Battling Inflation: How a Reverse Mortgage Can Combat Rising Costs in RetirementEven if you're not fully retired, or if you are already enjoying your golden years, one thing is undeniable: inflation is a very real and persistent challenge. The cost of nearly everything seems to be on a relentless upward trajectory. From the moment you fill your gas tank to the checkout line at the grocery store, and from your monthly insurance premiums to unexpected medical bills, the purchasing power of your dollar continues to erode. This can be particularly concerning for those on a fixed income or relying on a carefully planned retirement budget. What felt sufficient just a few years ago might now feel strained, and the worry about making ends meet can cast a shadow over what should be a time of relaxation and enjoyment.Consider the everyday expenses that impact your budget.Tune in and learn: https://www.ddamortgage.com/blogDidier Malagies NMLS #212566DDA Mortgage NMLS #324329 Support the show

MTHFR may be one of the most talked-about and misunderstood genes in the wellness world. Depending on where you get your information, you may have been told that an MTHFR variant is responsible for everything from fatigue and brain fog to poor detoxification, hormone issues, fertility challenges, and chronic disease. You may have even been told you need a specific supplement, detox protocol, or diet simply because of one genetic result. But your biology is far more complex than one SNP.In this solo episode of Everyday Epigenetics: Raw. Real. Relatable., Susan Robbins is breaking down the facts and fiction surrounding MTHFR. She explains what the MTHFR gene actually does, the difference between a genetic variant and a mutation, and why having an MTHFR variant does not mean your methylation is "broken." Susan also explores folate versus folic acid, methylfolate supplementation, detox claims, MTHFR-specific diets, and why looking at genetics without considering labs, symptoms, lifestyle, environment, and the rest of your genetic pathways can lead to unnecessary fear and one-size-fits-all recommendations. This episode is about replacing fear with context so you can use your genetics as information, not as a prediction of your future.In This Episode:What MTHFR actually is and its role in folate metabolism and methylationWhy having an MTHFR variant is not the same as having a disease or diagnosisThe difference between folate, folic acid, and methylfolateWhy an MTHFR variant doesn't automatically mean you need methylfolate or another supplementHow genes such as DHFR and other pathways add important context to MTHFRWhy genetics should be considered alongside labs, symptoms, nutrition, sleep, stress, movement, environment, and health historyRESOURCES:DNA Decoded: The Truth About Genetic Testing & What You Need to Knowhttps://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/dna-decoded-the-truth-about-genetic-testing-what-you/id1736527617?i=1000700566833Find all of Susan's Resources and links in the show notes: https://healthyawakening.co/2026/08/17/episode136/Connect with Susan: https://healthyawakening.co/Visit the website: healthyawakening.co/podcastFind listening links here: https://healthyawakening.co/linksP.S.

In this breaking Engage Alert, host First Officer Ryan Argenta sits down with MEC Chairman Captain Eric Criswell and Negotiating Committee Chairman Captain Bill Finlay following the MEC's unanimous decision to pivot away from the accelerated bargaining timeline and toward a more traditional Section 6 negotiation. Criswell and Finlay explain what led to the decision, including the company's pursuit of concessionary changes to longstanding pilot protections involving reroutes, schedule flexibility, reserve rules, payback days, and other provisions the union says pilots would not ratify. They also discuss the company's lack of meaningful engagement on key pilot priorities and why the accelerated path ultimately became untenable. With the bargaining strategy now changing, the discussion turns to what comes next: the expected negotiating timeline, the upcoming MEC meeting in Boston, increased communication and pilot involvement and what the MEC and Negotiating Committee will need from the pilot group as negotiations enter a new and potentially longer phase.

Ohio's new passenger ID law is making headlines—learn what it means for you when you ride in a car.Are Ohio Passengers Required to Show ID During Traffic Stops? Here's What You Need to KnowRefusing to do so is no longer a minor issue – it's now a fourth-degree misdemeanor, meaning you could be facing up to 30 days in jail and a $250 fine for simply declining to identify yourself, even if you're not driving.Legal History and Supreme Court ContextThe legal backbone for laws requiring identification during traffic stops includes Hiibel v. Sixth Judicial District Court of Nevada. This is a U.S. Supreme Court case that solidified police authority to request identification when there is reasonable suspicion for a stop.But what about passengers? We look at Brendlin v. California (2007), where the Supreme Court held that passengers, as well as drivers, can challenge the legality of a traffic stop and the admissibility of evidence found during those stops. This gives passengers certain legal “standing” they didn't have before, bringing new dimensions to how laws like Ohio's might be interpreted and challenged.Current Legal Landscape and Unresolved QuestionsThere is uncertainty around how this new law will fare in the courts. There are relevant decisions from the Sixth Circuit (which covers Ohio), where refusing to provide identification didn't necessarily rise to the level of obstruction of official business—until now, with this newly created crime.Here are several points to consider:Whether requiring passengers to identify themselves, absent any reasonable suspicion against them, is constitutional.If enforcement of this law unreasonably prolongs traffic stops, an issue courts have frowned upon in the past.The potentially harsher punishment for passengers (a misdemeanor) compared to some minor traffic offenses that prompted the stop in the first place.Predictions and Future Court BattlesWe predict that Ohio's Passenger ID Law is almost certain to end up before the U.S. Supreme Court, given the absence of clear precedent and the high stakes involved. The prevailing prediction? If there is reasonable suspicion for the traffic stop itself, courts may side with allowing police to request identification from all occupants, upholding the constitutionality of Ohio's new law—even as the hosts express their own reservations about its fairness and logic.Takeaways:Ohio House Bill 492 requires passengers, not just drivers, to provide their name, address, and date of birth when requested by law enforcement during a lawful traffic stopFailing to comply with the law is a fourth-degree misdemeanor, carrying up to a $250 fine and 30 days in jailThe law does not require passengers to physically hand over an ID card—providing information verbally is sufficientPast high-profile court cases and constitutional questions suggest this law may face significant legal challenges—potentially reaching the U.S. Supreme CourtPractical examples illustrate how these rules play out in everyday scenarios, what police can lawfully ask, and whether refusing can constitute obstruction5 Frequently Asked Questions about Ohio House Bill 492Do passengers have to show ID in Ohio if stopped by police? - Yes, under Ohio House Bill 492, passengers in lawfully stopped vehicles must provide their name, address, and date of birth to police if asked.Is it a crime to refuse to provide ID as a passenger in Ohio? - Refusing to provide the required information is a fourth-degree misdemeanor, punishable by up to a $250 fine and 30 days in jail.Do you have to physically hand over your ID card as a passenger? - No, the law only requires you to verbally provide your name, address, and date of birth upon request.Can police prolong a traffic stop to check passengers' IDs? - The discussion explored concerns that asking for passenger IDs might unlawfully extend the stop, especially if there's no reasonable suspicion—this could be a basis for future legal challenges.Has the U.S. Supreme Court decided on this specific issue? - Not yet; while related cases were discussed, the Supreme Court has not directly ruled on whether states can require passengers to provide ID during traffic stops. The issue may be heard in the future.Got a question you want answered on the podcast? Call 614-859-2119 and leave us a voicemail.

You got your GBS results back and they're positive - and suddenly it feels like your entire birth plan just got ripped out of your hands. Does this mean induction? Antibiotics no matter what? Is an unmedicated birth even still on the table?Before you spiral into a Google hole at midnight, Trish is here to set the record straight. As a 16-year high-risk L&D nurse who's been in the room with hundreds of GBS positive mamas, she's breaking down exactly what this diagnosis does - and doesn't - mean for your birth.In this episode, Trish covers:What GBS actually is (and why it's not about hygiene or "doing something wrong")Myth #1: GBS positive means automatic induction - it doesn'tMyth #2: No membrane sweeps allowed - what the Strip G Study really foundMyth #3: You have to rush to the hospital the second contractions start - Trish's real timing rules for first-time and experienced momsMyth #4: You can't have an unmedicated birth - how the antibiotics actually work with your birth planThe real numbers behind antibiotic prophylaxis, and what happens if you declineWhat other countries do differently - and why that matters for how you think about your optionsThe bottom line: GBS positive is a piece of information, not a life sentence for your birth plan.

What if I told you that most jobs in wildlife, conservation, and environmental science aren't directly in research? Would you be shocked? Well, it's true! And that's exactly what I talk about in this episode of the Fancy Scientist Podcast. When most people think of wildlife work, they think of jobs in wildlife research. Those are jobs where you pose questions or objectives, and then collect, process, and analyze data to address them. But when you compare these jobs to all of the others in the realm of wildlife, conservation, and environmental sciences work, they are actually in the minority. I am calling these non- ”traditional” jobs wildlife research-adjacent work or even just wildlife-adjacent jobs, even though they relate to conservation and the environmental sciences, and some are definitely in the wildlife field. This was a topic suggested by members of my Getting a Job in Wildlife Biology Facebook group a couple of years ago because there is strong interest in them, so I thought it would be the perfect topic to take a deep dive into for the podcast because it is a big one. In fact, it's WAY too much to cover in just an episode. This is by no means a full list, and there's not enough time to go into them in-depth. For example, in my group mentoring program, the Successful Wildlife Professional, we spend at least 30 minutes for each job and organization type. I'll walk you through the major categories: data analytical and processing roles like GIS, statistics, lab work, and computer science; communications, outreach, fundraising, and education jobs; wildlife health careers, rehab, and vet work; zookeeping; more environmental science roles in water quality, forestry, and agriculture; corporate sustainability positions; and outdoor recreation jobs. But first, before you even consider a wildlife-adjacent job, I ask you to question WHY you're pursuing one of these jobs in the first place. Is it because it is truly a job you want? Or is it because you feel like you can't get the job you really do want? In my experience working with individuals seeking these kinds of jobs, it's usually the latter, and if that's the case, I encourage you to go after what it is you really want because this is a fixable problem. I identify the two big reasons that people can't get wildlife jobs in the first place and what you can do about them. Finally, I'll leave you with this: wildlife jobs have a reputation for being competitive and low-paying, but that's not universal, especially when you consider adjacent jobs. In a recent podcast interview with Patrick Rainey of Ducks Unlimited, we talked about some wetlands restoration jobs that are in demand and also well-paying. So if getting a high salary is important to you, you might want to explore wildlife-adjacent work. Specifically, we cover:What "wildlife-adjacent" work means and how it differs from traditional research careersThe two biggest reasons people fail to land wildlife jobs, and why that matters before you consider an adjacent pathWhen pursuing a wildlife-adjacent job is a smart move even if it's not what you really want, and how to prevent it from becoming a trapAnalytics jobs, including GIS, statistics, lab work, and computer science rolesCommunications, outreach, fundraising, and education jobs, including science writing and ecotourismWildlife health careers like rehabilitation and vet workZoo and aquarium roles outside of research Environmental science jobs in water quality, forestry, agriculture, and moreMuseum workCorporate sustainability roles, even within companies you wouldn't expect to have a conservation focus, and how this can indeed make a big difference for wildlife Outdoor recreation jobsWhy some wildlife-adjacent fields are actually in high demandAnd more!Jump links:2:21 What Are Wildlife Research-Adjacent Jobs?4:25 Common Job Search Mistakes16:19 Data & Analytics Jobs21:39 Communications & Education Jobs28:19 Wildlife Rehab & Vet Careers30:51 Zookeeping & Aquariums35:11 Forestry, Agriculture & Museums37:05 Private Sector and Corporations37:47 Final Takeaways Dream of being a wildlife biologist, zoologist, conservation biologist, or ecologist?

Opening a group practice can feel like the obvious next step once your private practice is full and you're turning away potential clients every week. But too often, therapists make that decision from a place of scarcity instead of strength, and that's exactly why it backfires.In today's episode, I'm sharing the three questions I wish every therapist would answer before hiring their first clinician. If you can't confidently say yes to all three, opening a group practice probably isn't your next best move—at least not yet.I'm diving into whether you genuinely have an abundance of time and money (or just enough demand to feel busy and stretched), what consistent long-term demand really looks like, and the identity shift from clinician to business owner that catches so many therapists by surprise.If you're thinking about expanding into a group practice, these three questions will help you decide whether you're truly ready and give you a roadmap for what needs to happen first.Topics covered on Opening A Group Practice:The one financial question that decides whether you're expanding from strength or scarcityFull private practice isn't always the green light for opening a group practiceThe uncomfortable gut check: would you feel excited or a little sick handing your favorite clients to someone elseThe identity shift nobody warns you about, and why it lights some therapists up and wrecks othersResources from this episode:Liberated Business: www.thebadtherapist.coach/liberatedbusinessWebsite: www.thebadtherapist.coachConnect with Felicia:Get my freebie & join the email list: The Magic SheetsInstagram: @the_bad_therapistRelated episodes: Growing Your Group Practice: Why Your First Hire Should Be A 'Mini-You' w/ Nicole McCance [Ep 124]What You Need to Know Before Hiring a Team Member for Your Private Practice [Ep 17]Quote:"A group practice adds complexity, it adds responsibility, and it adds overhead before it adds freedom."

A couple of weeks ago in Episode 117 I talked about how our market evolved away from the sale barn. Today I want to talk about why the auction can be a great place for meat goat producers to start selling their goats, and for a lot of producers it's the right long-term market. Today I want to talk about how to use the sale barn well, the research, the timing, the relationship building, what to do when you pull in, and what I learned over several years selling this way.

Do zoos actually help conservation? Contribute to wildlife research? Or are they mostly to entertain people? A couple of years ago, I did a podcast interview all about zoos, and I thought this would be a great topic for my own podcast due to the complexity. It's not a straightforward answer…In fact, during the pandemic, when we were all watching The Tiger King, I did a whole blog post series on the ethics and research impacts of zoos, and these are still some of my most popular posts!Zoos were originally built purely for entertainment and were the only way most people could see an exotic animal. Placed in cement cages or concrete pits, animals were there to fascinate, but at the expense of their well-being. But as scientists and the public have learned more about animals, some zoos began to change. There are now high-quality institutions running genuine conservation science, captive breeding programs, and research on wild animal populations.But unfortunately, not all zoos have stepped up. There are still dilapidated roadside attractions where animals are locked in cement cages, might be forced to do unnatural and harmful tricks, or be bred to have a constant supply of babies for tourists to pose with for photos, and with nowhere to go once they get older. These zoos might do things that they call research, but really, this is a form of greenwashing so that they can use these small projects to justify their money-making operations from animals. On the flip side, I talk about how zoos genuinely contribute to conservation. For example, conducting real research on animals outside of their zoo population, providing genetic safety nets, and captive breeding animals like the black-footed ferret and golden lion tamarin from the brink of extinction. In this episode of the Fancy Scientist podcast, I'm going to walk you through zoos so that you can understand these differences, as well as offer some guidelines so that you can make an informed decision for yourself. I break down what separates a good zoo from a bad one, and the gray areas in between. I also address the harder question of whether zoos change people's minds. Many claim that zoos educate the public about wildlife, but just because they present information doesn't mean that people take it in or take conservation actions…Those are much harder to change. I talk about a meta-analysis of 56 studies on visitor attitudes after zoo visits, plus how zoos like Cheyenne Mountain Zoo are trying to close the gap between education and action with things like their sustainable palm oil initiative.And because this podcast is always about helping you build a wildlife career, I offer an overview of the different kinds of roles that you can obtain for employment, as well as my own behind-the-scenes experience, where I monitored elephant pregnancy hormones and worked on reproductive research for cotton-top tamarins.You'll get a rundown of the career paths zoos actually offer: zookeeping, education, communications, research, and creative roles like videography, plus wildlife-adjacent jobs in finance, fundraising, and law. I also explain what kinds of zoo work won't help your wildlife career, no matter how much hands-on animal experience it seems to offer.Specifically, we talk about:The history of zoos, and how they evolved from pure entertainment into institutions that can contribute to research, education, and conservationThe clear signs that separate an ethical zoo from an unethical one including enrichment, keeper barriers, and whether the public is allowed to touch wild animalsWhy Tiger King-style roadside zoos like Myrtle Beach Safari don't count as real conservation work, and how to spot greenwashing when a zoo claims to "support conservation"Why zoo populations serve as a safety net for species with critically small wild populationsReal conservation success stories through captive breeding, including golden lion tamarins and black-footed ferretsThe behind-the-scenes research zoos do that visitors never see, including my own experience monitoring elephant hormones as a Disney's Animal Kingdom internWhether zoos actually succeed at changing visitor attitudes and behavior toward conservation, and what the research saysThe strongest arguments against zoosAn overview of wildlife career paths at zoos: zookeeping, education, communications, research, creative and media roles, and wildlife-adjacent careers like finance, fundraising, and lawAnd MORE!Jump links:1:52 Tiger King during COVID4:59 History of zoos: from pure entertainment to modern standards7:28 Roadside zoos & Tiger King-style operations8:08 Signs of an ethical zoo: no touching wild animals, enrichment, barriers13:00 Captive breeding & maintaining genetic diversity15:10 Reintroduction programs & minimizing human contact16:37 Personal experience at Disney's Animal Kingdom (elephant endocrine research)20:31 Zoos & education: Do they change attitudes toward wildlife?23:47 The argument against zoos25:49 AZA accreditation & evolving zoo standards27:56 Careers in zoos overview33:02 Outro & upcoming free training: The Four Faux PawsDream of being a wildlife biologist, zoologist, conservation biologist, or ecologist?

William Penn returned from Ireland in August 1670, and soon found himself arrested, along with fellow Quaker William Mead, for preaching to a crowd in public in violation of “the common law,” an ambiguity that would play out during their momentous trial. The trial would end in their acquittal, notwithstanding egregious intimidation of the jury by the judge, the Lord Mayor Sir Samuel Starling. Among other exciting moments, Starling threw the principled foreman of the jury, Edward Bushel, in jail. Bushel’s suit for a writ of habeas corpus would lead to a verdict that established an inviolate principle in Anglo-American law, that judges may not intimidate juries. Penn and Mead were acquitted under the glare of remarkable publicity for the day, and the case would establish Penn as a nationally famous advocate for Dissenting religion. After his acquittal, Penn finally made it home to visit his dying father, Sir William Penn, with whom he reconciled in a poignant father-son moment. Subscribe to my Substack!

(00:00) Are all things good or evil? (35:00) If someone truly believes many good things are wrong, how would you counsel them to move forward in life? (42:00) If we say God has a reason to allow gratuitous (i.e., meaningless) suffering, then aren't we saying he's unable or uninterested in bringing about his good ends without the use of suffering, and how do we make moral distinctions about suffering if it's all doing good?

As a wildlife biologist, you have incredible moments with animals that are nearly impossible for other people to experience. But you also do some pretty crazy, strange, and downright WEIRD things.In my 17 years working in the field across four continents and for a variety of organizations, I've had experiences that range from terrifying to awe-inspiring to disgusting.

The golden-voiced son on Richard and Linda is more tied to '50s/'60s rock and country than he his to his parents' folk influences, and he's recorded ten albums of tuneful, straightforward but highly idiosyncratic rock and country tunes since 2000. We discuss "Come Back" (and listen at the end to "So This Is Heartache") from Never Be the Same (2026), "Move At Speed" from Heartbreaker Please (2020), and "I Should Get Up" from Separate Ways (2006).

Most of us don't think about brain health until something goes wrong. We think it's normal to experience brain fog or we just accept cognitive decline is inevitable as we age. Science shows you can physically change your brain at any age. You can grow new neurons, build stronger connections, and even shrink your risk of Alzheimer's — and it doesn't require anything mysterious or extreme. My guest is Dr. Majid Fotuhi, a renowned neurologist and one of the world's leading experts in brain health. He received his MD from Harvard Medical School and his PhD in Neuroscience from Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine, where he now serves as an adjunct professor at the Mind/Brain Institute. He's also the author of the new book The Invincible Brain. Some of the things we discuss are: Why your brain is an organ you can care for like your teeth or your heart — not a mysterious black box you're stuck with The 12-week brain fitness study that showed older adults physically grew their brains by 1–3%, making them up to three years younger on an MRI Why genetics play a surprisingly small role in late-life Alzheimer's — and how exercise can cancel out the effects of the highest-risk gene The exact amount of exercise that strengthens your brain (and why doing more than this won't help) Why sleep is an active brain-cleaning process — and what 20+ years of insomnia does to the memory center of your brain The one rule about food Dr. Fotuhi cares about more than keto vs. Mediterranean vs. vegetarian How chronic stress physically shrinks your brain, plus the perspective shift his daughter learned that keeps her calm under pressure Simple daily ways to challenge your brain — from memorizing names to license plates in traffic The Therapist's Take: My top three strategies for building a physically stronger, younger brain starting today Related Episodes ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ 91 — The Biggest Threats to Your Brain Health and the Lifestyle Changes You Should Make Today to Stay Sharp with Dr. Austin Perlmutter 212 — What Are You Feeding Your Brain?
