We're feeling the love here on ChickChat today… maybe it's because it's the holiday season, maybe it's because we are so thankful for our listeners… but it's probably because MM's sixteen-year-old daughter is taking Zoology and learned some life lessons from an Octopus. Outside of the octopus discussion (which is worth the listen in itself), we touch on the new baby vampire love coming for Robert and Suki, the possible hot-mess love of Lindsay and Bananas, and of course, the in-your-face love of Travis and Taylor *trigger warning: unpopular opinions expressed*. BUT - to top it all off, we celebrate our love of People Magazines Sexiest Man Alive annual issue and this year's Readers Choice selections! Welcome Back McDreamy! So, listen in and remember… we LOVE you!

Want to hear the Top Ten Reasons to Homeschool from two homeschool veterans and authors with six successful college graduates between them? In this podcast, Jeannie Fulbright and Shiela Catanzarite discuss the first five reasons to homeschool. If you need a reminder of why it's all worth it or know someone who is looking for a reason to begin, this podcast is a must listen. Your eyes will be opened to how homeschooling builds family bonds, allows children the freedom to be themselves, to grow into the persons they were created to be, and to discover their interests early and pursue them well. You'll be encouraged to release the burden of enslavement to the system that is failing American school children, and instead embrace a true learning atmosphere and environment that develops your children into the people God designed them to be. Jeannie and Shiela will share profound truths and stories that will inspire and encourage you to start or continue the homeschool journey with freedom and joy. About Jeannie Jeannie Fulbright, a 24-year veteran homeschooler, is the author of the #1 best-selling, multi award-winning Apologia Young Explorer science series: Exploring Creation with Astronomy, Chemistry and Physics, Botany, Zoology, and Anatomy & Physiology.

Jeannie and her husband Jeff became empty nesters in 2019. All four of their children all went to the University of Georgia on scholarship (homeschooling works!). For more than 20 years Jeannie has traveled around the country speaking to homeschoolers at conventions, covering a plethora of topics from Charlotte Mason to marriage and prayer. About Shiela Shiela Catanzarite is an author, speaker, editor, and communication coach. She's a 20-year Charlotte Mason veteran homeschooler and has worked as Jeannie Fulbright's editor and designer for 20 years helping develop Jeannie's award-winning Apologia science curriculum and most recently her Charlotte Mason products published through Jeannie Fulbright Press. Shiela is the author of the newly published Living Verse Language Arts in Poetry and is finishing up her second book in the series Living Verse Language Arts in Scripture, to be released spring 2024. Earning a bachelor's degree in Special Education and a master's degree in Christian Education from Dallas Theological Seminary, Shiela has been teaching language arts in some capacity for 40+ years. Her passion remains helping students understand the elements of language and how to use these elements artfully to communicate effectively. Shiela is currently a language communication coach, working one-on-one with students who have language learning and communication challenges. She also writes curriculum for her private middle and high school English language communication classes that focus on writing and speaking. Both of Shiela's and her husband Bruce's daughters attended private universities on scholarship and went on to pursue graduate studies in medicine and global business. She attributes their love for learning and academic achievement to homeschooling with Charlotte Mason's philosophy and methodology.

My guest for this episode is Kathy Price. Kathy is from the United Kingdom, which you will be able to tell from her accent when you hear this conversation. She and I met last year during the Journey on Podcast Summit in San Antonio, TX. This year, we're just coming off the second Podcast Summit in San Antonio. As we did last year, Kathy and I connected immediately. In fact, I was so excited to get to have her on this podcast because there was so much I wanted to learn from her. Last year, I sat with her last year in a session she did on at a breakfast meeting about the work she does, which is called Point of Balance. I was interested to learn how someone with such a scientific background - she has a degree in Zoology – is now talking about things like energy, quantum physics, and how those fields apply to healing horses and healing humans. This podcast gives many of those answers. Kathy is also clear that her work is that of a facilitator, and in that, she carries a strong message of empowerment. Kathy said several times that we have everything we need to be who we're meant to be and to achieve what we're meant to achieve, and to bring ourselves back into balance. Here's what Kathy shared about herself: From a very young age horses have been THE passion in Kathy's life. Even though Kathy grew up in the suburbs of London with totally a non-horsey family, somehow the love of the horse was always the most powerful thing in her life. Kathy comes from a scientific background gaining a BSc (Hons) degree in Zoology. Her mindset was always based on the scientific paradigm of you had to be able to “measure it, replicate it and explain it” for it to be true. If those criteria were in place, she was happy. If they weren't, she didn't want to know. That was until in 2003 when with her horse Midnight she went to a horsemanship clinic with clinician Len Judd. For her this clinic was the moment of transformation, a spiritual experience that changed her life. From that weekend forward, as she stepped into and embraced the world of energy and connection, her need for scientific explanation fell away and her mind set became, “My Experience is my Truth.” Now after many years of studying energy, quantum physics, healing, spirituality and training in several energetic modalities, Kathy is well-established in her own, unique work which she calls Point of Balance. Through this purely energetic work her aim is to facilitate the person or animal she is working to move back into balance at all levels - physical, mental, emotional and spiritual. This move back to balance not only helps them to heal themselves, but also helps them realize their unique power and potential. Kathy knows categorically that is the horse that has not only led her to the wonderful people around her today, but also continues to lead her into deeper and deeper insights of the fundamental aspects of this World and indeed The Universe, namely that everything is energy and everything is connected. Kathy's work includes carrying out sessions in person and at distance with both people and animals, and she feels blessed and grateful to have clients both people and animals, all over the world.

Click to listen to episode (4:36).Sections below are the following:Transcript of AudioAudio Notes and AcknowledgmentsImagesExtra InformationSourcesRelated Water Radio EpisodesFor Virginia Teachers (Relevant SOLs, etc.)Unless otherwise noted, all Web addresses mentioned were functional as of 11-9-23. TRANSCRIPT OF AUDIO From the Cumberland Gap to the Atlantic Ocean, this is Virginia Water Radio for the weeks of December 11 and December 18, 2023. [Please note: the audio mistakenly says December 20 instead of December 18.] SOUND – ~6 sec. Those sounds of Mallard ducks, recorded in December 2015 at the Virginia Tech Duck Pond in Blacksburg, set the stage for a duck designation derby—that is, a duck names quiz game! I'll give you clues to the common names of six duck species inhabiting areas of Virginia, either year-round or seasonally. After each set of clues, you'll have a few seconds to hear sounds from the duck and try to guess its name. In the clues, “diving duck” refers to those birds that dive deep under the surface and feed underwater; and “dabbling duck” refers to those birds that feed on or just below the water surface. Number 1: This large diving duck, noted for its reddish head and bright whitish body, has a name that a painter would recognize. SOUND - ~6 sec. That's the Canvasback. Number 2: This diving duck is known and named for its golden-yellow eyes. SOUND - ~5 sec. That's the Common Goldeneye. Number 3: For people who appreciate colorful birds, this small dabbling duck's iridescent green feathers on its head and wings are a big deal. SOUND - ~5 sec. That's the Green-winged Teal. Number 4: If people who wear “hoodies” wanted to know how to look like a bird, the male of this diving duck would be the answer. SOUND - ~5 sec. That's the Hooded Merganser. Number 5: This dabbling duck has a name—based on its spoon-like bill—that could be applied to what people in, say Minnesota, have to become after a big snowfall, if they want to clear a path. SOUND - ~5 sec. That's the Northern Shoveler. And number 6: This elaborately colored dabbling duck, notable for its nests in tree holes and for its ability to perch on tree branches, has a name that comes from trees. SOUND - ~5 sec. That's the Wood Duck. The birds in this game are among 25 duck species known to occur in Virginia, at least occasionally. Many are around in wintertime, so if you're venturing out near water during the cold-weather months, perhaps—with luck and pluck—you'll glimpse or hear some ducks. Thanks to Lang Elliott for permission to use the sounds in the duck names quiz, which were all from the Stokes Field Guide to Bird Songs. We close with some music for ducks, with a tune attributed to the late Henry Reed, a traditional musician who lived in Giles County, Virginia. Here's about 25 seconds of “Ducks on the Pond,” performed by Timothy Seaman of Williamsburg, Virginia. MUSIC - ~27 sec – Instrumental.

In this episode of the Creative Careers in Medicine podcast, Dr Elise Putt speaks with Dr Ben Bravery, where he shares his experiences and insights that will resonate with both healthcare professionals and those with their own lived experience as a patient through the healthcare system.Ben starts by discussing his observations of the behaviour among junior doctors, senior doctors, and nurses during his time on the wards, which led to him writing articles published in reputable outlets like ABC and The Guardian. As he embarked on his internship in oncology, he reflected on his aspiration to become an oncologist and his evolving understanding of medicine and being a patient.Drawing from his personal experiences as a patient, Ben shares his struggles to navigate the healthcare system, feeling a lack of agency, and encountering difficulties in understanding technical concepts. These experiences motivated him to address the dissatisfaction felt by both doctors and patients, leading him to write the book "The Patient Doctor" and advocate for a more compassionate and patient-centred approach to healthcare.During the conversation, Ben opens up about his own health journey, sharing the anxiety he felt before his colonoscopy and the shocking discovery of a large ulcerated lesion. He candidly discusses the challenges and setbacks he faced during his recovery, including feeling miserable and forgotten in the hospital, and the distressing threat of having a tube inserted due to troubles eating.Transitioning to his career choices, Ben explores his unique path from initially working in a department focused on conservation and animal protection to joining Questacon's science circus, and subsequently becoming a youth ambassador in China. Through these experiences, he developed a strong interest in patient safety, patient advocacy, clinician well-being, system redesign, and quality improvement.To wrap up the episode, Ben highlights the importance of understanding the individuality and complexity of patients, as well as the need for doctors to prioritise their own well-being. He shares his passion for making a positive impact on people's lives, changing perspectives on illness, and reshaping the healthcare system.To get more CCIM, subscribe so you never miss an episode, join our Facebook community and subscribe to our newsletter!Website: https://creativecareersinmedicine.com/Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/CreativeCareersInMed/The CCIM Podcast is a proud member of the Talking HealthTech Podcast Network - the premier audio destination for cutting-edge insights and thought leadership in healthcare delivery, innovation, digital health, healthcare ICT, and commercialisation.

How do we help our children become self-sufficient, independent, and self-motivated? This is a question that many parents struggle to answer. However, recent research studies and Charlotte Mason's teachings on this very issue have the answer. In this talk, Jeannie shares the seven keys for developing self-motivated children. Each key builds upon the other and intertwines to give us a clear picture of our role as parents in nurturing to life our children's natural desire to know, their Divine curiosity, the innate personal motivation that should be a driving force in their learning and education. You will discover that your role is doing less not more. And as you trust in God to fulfill his purposes for your children, you will be freed from the need to take control over and worry about their future. The Truth that God guides and leads you and your children will set you free to enjoy this homeschool journey without the constant burden of failing your children.

Why are some animals cute, cuddly, adorable – and some are slimy, creepy and downright weird? This edition of Crowdscience, recorded in front of a live audience, comes to you directly from the world-famous Green Man Festival in Bannau Brycheiniog National Park in Cymru (Wales). The programme recording was powered entirely by hydrogen. Our inbox has been bursting at the seams with questions about creepy crawlies, deep sea beasties, cheeky monkeys, endangered species and animals of all shapes and sizes. So, we rounded up a panel of experts to get some answers! Surrounded by 25,000 people trudging merrily through the mud, pelted with torrential rain, underscored by the warm hum of revelry, the BBC's Marnie Chesterton speaks with Dr David Jones from the Natural History Museum, an expert on creepy crawlies and someone who spends a considerable amount of time thinking about earthworms, ants, and termites. Also joining us is Jess Savage, a researcher from the Institute of Zoology in London who's an expert on ocean-dwelling animals and the impact of plastic pollution. Finally, we have Simon Watt, a biologist, comedian and founder of the Ugly Animal Preservation Society. Join us for this very special edition of Crowdscience, in partnership with Green Man Festival, where we bring the experts closer to you than ever before.

LOOP 2.4: Silverback researcher Edd Dyer joins us to introduce us to his part in the creation of the series. The title ‘researcher' really doesn't do justice to the incredible scope of his role which includes far more than just looking up facts. We talk about his route into the industry and the necessary skills for the job. Life On Our Planet (LOOP) is a new 8-part series created for Netflix by Silverback Films and Amblin Television. This Steven Spielberg produced series, narrated by Morgan Freeman, is hugely ambitious in its scope, telling the story of life throughout the whole Phanerozoic Eon. Ancient organisms and environments are painstakingly recreated by the supremely talented Industrial Light and Magic, whilst modern natural history scenes add vital context to the story. This show has been worked on for six years, during which time countless papers were read and around 150 different palaeontologists contributed their time and knowledge. The whole production had culture of letting the scientific research dictate scenes, resulting in one of the most accurate on-screen representations of prehistoric life there has ever been. And how do we know all this? Well, our very own team members Tom Fletcher and Dave Marshall have been embedded within the LOOP team since day one! We are therefore in a totally unique position to reveal to you the work that went into this series, from both the production and research side of things. In this unofficial series, we've been granted exclusive access to many of the people responsible for creating LOOP, we explore what it takes to create a palaeontological documentary and we delve deeper into the science with some of the show's academic advisors. Each day, we will be releasing batches of interviews, each relating to a specific episode of LOOP. Image courtesy and copyright of Netflix.

Embracing the Charlotte Mason educational model, so different from our own education, can often be challenging. We often have to deprogram from the beliefs about education that we accepted as truth and the models that purport to be the standard by which education should be measured. This is hard for us to do when we were so thoroughly immersed in the system of education that was created and instituted in the early 1900's and still continues unchanged (if not worsened) in America today. But it's much easier if you understand the history of this system and what its ultimate purpose was. It's also important to see the research and results of this model on American education. In this episode, Jeannie will share a brief history of the modern education system. As it often does, the truth will set us free. You will be freed from the system that not only extinguishes a child's natural self-motivation and inborn creativity but also suppresses divine curiosity and turns an innate love for learning into drudgery. Jeannie hopes this episode will give you confidence in homeschooling using the tried and true, research-based Charlotte Mason methodology of education.

The Hidden Horrors of Esteemed Scientist Adam Britton's Double Life In a story that has sent shockwaves across Australia and the international scientific community, the once-revered crocodile expert, Adam Britton, faces grave charges and admissions of heinous crimes, contrasting sharply with his previous standing as a celebrated zoologist. From West Yorkshire to Australian Recognition Adam Britton, originally from West Yorkshire in the UK, relocated to Australia after earning his Ph.D. in Zoology from the University of Bristol. His fascination with crocodiles led him to the northern part of Australia, where he rapidly established himself in the scientific community. Partnering with his wife, Erin, a biologist, Britton co-founded Big Gecko, a consultancy supplying crocodile footage to major film and television entities, including industry frontrunners like the BBC and National Geographic. A Dark Obsession Unveiled However, underneath this facade of professional accolades lay a deeply troubling secret. Since 2014, Britton engaged in the abuse and torture of over 42 dogs, including his own pets, Ursa and Bolt. Using the online platform Gumtree Australia, he deceived unsuspecting dog owners, often acquiring pets from those who were looking for new homes for their animals. Building a semblance of trust, Britton then subjected these dogs to unthinkable cruelty. To exacerbate this, Britton maintained a meticulously detailed record of his transgressions. He converted a shipping container into a space he disturbingly labelled his 'torture room'. In this ghastly setting, equipped with recording equipment, Britton not only committed his vile acts but also shared the footage online. Using platforms like Telegram and pseudonyms such as 'Monster' and 'Cerberus', he detailed his actions and even discussed them with others. The Disturbing Truth Emerges The Northern Territory Animal Welfare Branch was alerted to one of Britton's videos in April 2022. Acting promptly, the police apprehended Britton and a subsequent search resulted in the confiscation of an array of incriminating items. In a recent court appearance at the Supreme Court of the Northern Territory, Britton pleaded guilty to 47 counts of animal cruelty and several counts related to accessing and sharing child abuse materials. The explicitness of his crimes prompted Chief Justice Michael Grant to advise the public and staff to vacate the courtroom during the detailed presentation of the case. Labeling Britton's acts as "grotesque and perverse", Grant acknowledged the profound disturbing nature of the evidence. A Life Shattered, A Reputation Destroyed Adam Britton's actions have led to widespread shock and disbelief. His wife Erin, seemingly blindsided by her husband's malevolence, has taken steps to distance herself, notably changing her surname. As the zoologist awaits sentencing set for December 13, his case serves as a grim reminder: even those held in the highest esteem can harbor dark, unsettling secrets.

This time on the Anatomy in Clay® Learning System podcast, the guests are two assistant professors of biology from Winthrop University in South Carolina. After earning a Ph.D. from the University of Campinas in Sao Paulo, Brazil, Silvia Wozniak became a post-doctoral fellow at the Department of Neurology at New York University, where she worked with lysosomal storage diseases diagnosis. A year later she moved to the Department of Human Genetics at Mount Sinai School of Medicine in New York to work on the development of therapy for Niemann-Pick disease. Wozniak joined Winthrop University n 2000. Jena Chojnowski earned her Ph.D in Zoology at the University of Florida. Her postdoctoral research studies were at the University of Georgia working on development of the thymus and eye. In January 2023, she joined the Winthrop University Biology department team. Her research consists of two main areas of interest: developmental biology and stem cell biology. She focuses on a developmental comparative anatomy approach to understand how one organ that accomplishes one goal, to detect light and convert it into electro-chemical impulses in neurons, can be utilized in so many diverse ways.
