InterplaceSpawn, Spore, Store, and Restore or Bloom, Consume to Our Glume and DoomHello Interactors,Summer is waning and nature’s energy is draining. Meanwhile, record heat and fires in the northern hemisphere remind us the sun has yet to relent. But plants know what to do to prepare.They slow down and repair. They store and restore through the winter snore for when the sun comes back for more. Why can’t we humans, and our societies, learn this rhythm of life? Maybe we’re just not as smart as plants. Yet.Hey, Interplace hit 1,000 subscribers! 🙌🏼Thanks, Interactors, for your energy and care. While I do t...

Infinitas FormasS01E05 - Extinções | com Felipe Pinheiro (paleontólogo)Olá! Hoje nós trouxemos o professor Felipe Pinheiro (paleontólogo, Unipampa) para falar sobre um tema cuja importância não pode ser superestimada: extinções. Como ocorrem? Qual a iportância de se estudar esse fenômeno? Que paralelos podemos traçar entre as extinções pretéritas e o atual evento de extinção?

The world, the universe and us#90: COP26 climate playlist; the science of Dune; life-saving treatment for children without immune systems; covid sweeps IranIn rare cases children can be born without an immune system, and sadly their chances are very bad. Fortunately the team brings news of a life-saving implant which has now been approved for use in the US. If you’re thinking of seeing the new film adaptation of Frank Herbert’s epic novel Dune, you’ll want to hear the insights of ecosystem professor Yadvinder Malhi. Herbert was amazingly ahead of his time, anticipating the work of James Lovelock and the Gaia hypothesis, for example. The team hears about the world’s largest artificial intelligence - the Megatron-Turing Natural Language Generatio...

TBA21 on st_ageArticulate MatterThe conversation begins by unpacking the idea of the Anthropocene with ecosystem scientist professor Yadvinder Malhi who talks about why a deep time perspective helps us understand how truly volatile the planet is. He also discusses the need for evidence-based science that’s inclusive of indigenous knowledge, which offers more sustainable ways of relating to the environment.
Even while the scientific establishment grapples with what is already known about changing ecosystems to enact policy and systemic change, there are parts of India where narratives and data remain suppressed and ignored by mainstream media.
Public health researcher Shweta Narayan speaks about th...

Science ShamblesClimate and Nature - Science Shambles Live at LatitudeAt the 2021 Latitude Festival The Cosmic Shambles Network took over The Listening Post for a series of live Science Shambles events on the Sunday afternoon. The first of those events was a panel discussion around climate change and restoring nature and how it's not just as simple as using less plastic bags. Although you should still use less plastic bags. Dr Helen Czerski is joined by climate scientist Dr Tamsin Edwards and ecosystem scientist Professor Yadvinder Malhi.

BBC Inside ScienceClimate Change, State of the World's Plants, Antibiotic Resistance, Telephone Metadata, Bat DetectiveToday we're asking how anyone can make sense of the deluge of climate change data that is almost continually published. By the end of last month, nearly 200 countries had signed up to the Paris climate change agreement, and in doing so they were nominally committing to keep global temperatures "well below" 2C. So now comes the tricky bit: How best to do that - and what is the scientific evidence for policymakers to decide? Climate change expert Dr Tamsin Edwards of the Open University joins Adam Rutherford to help us unpick the research. Last week a major...

Oxford Martin School: Public Lectures and SeminarsThe metabolism of a human-dominated planetYadvinder Malhi, Director of the Oxford Centre ofr Tropical Forests, gives a talk for the Oxford Martin School. We live in a new epoch, the Anthropocene, the Age of Us, of which climate change is just one aspect. The defining feature of this age is that sum of human activity (how many we are and what we are doing) has become large compared to the natural processes of the biosphere. The atmospheric waste products of our activity being the main driver of climate change. How can we measure how “large” we are, and how has our impact on the planet vari...
