Episode 12 Season 7: Autism Rates, Dire Wolves, and Puppy Training
Send us a text This week we look to deunk myths about rising autism rates and explain the genetic and environmental factors at play, while exploring the resurrection of dire wolves through genetic engineering and how puppy cognition predicts adult dog behavior. • CDC data shows autism diagnoses increased from 1 in 150 children in 2000 to 1 in 31 in 2022 • Approximately 80% of autism cases stem from inherited genetic variations with 200+ genes linked to early brain development • Better screening, diagnosis, and awareness accounts for much of the increase in autism rates • Scientists have genetically engineered puppies with dire wolf traits using DNA from ancient remains • The three pups—Romulus, Remus, and Khaleesi—received 20 gene edits targeting coat color, body size, and facial features • Study of 1,400+ puppies shows early cognitive traits persist into adulthood • Puppies good at following pointing gestures became more trainable adults, while those with better impulse control grew into calmer dogs • Understanding puppy cognition allows for customized training approaches that support lifelong well-being Some Links and Studies: https://www.sciencenews.org/article/autism-adhd-risk-not-linked-prenatal-exposure-antidepressants S.

Episode 9 Season 7: Shingles, Dog Context, and The Immune System with Dr. Mohseni
Send us a text On this week's show we dive into the hidden connections between shingles vaccines and decreased dementia risk, while exploring how humans often misinterpret their pets' emotions based on environmental context rather than actual animal behavior. Our guest, Dr. Yasmin Mohseni blows us away with the inner workings of the immune system. Some highlights: • Shingles vaccine study reveals a 20% reduction in dementia risk, particularly among women • The protective effect may be linked to how viral infections modify the immune system • Humans heavily rely on situational context rather than dogs' body language when assessing canine emotions • A study of 400 college students showed they couldn't distinguish dog emotions without environmental cues • Dr. Yasmin Mohseni explains why the immune system isn't a simple on/off switch that can be easily "boosted" • Immunotherapy approaches like CAR T-cell therapy are revolutionizing cancer treatment • Cancer cells create "fortress-like" defenses that engineered immune cells must overcome • Understanding your pet's actual body language rather than situational context can improve communication Dr. Yasmin's links: Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/doctor.yas_/ Our links!

Season 5 Episode 39: Artificial Intelligence, Dog Treadmills, and Pet Hospice with Dr. Faith Banks
Send us a text Can you tell the difference between a real human face and one generated by AI? We kick off our enlightening conversation by delving into the curious world of artificial intelligence image generators and our ability to discern real from the AI. A fascinating study we discuss reveals that AI faces are often considered more realistic than actual human faces, and we explore the implications of this finding. Our conversation takes an emotional turn as we welcome Dr. Faith Banks, a seasoned hospice vet, who takes us on an intimate journey into the world of veterinary practice. From the rigorous adventure of vet school to the complexities of geriatric animal care, Dr. Banks provides insights that both intrigue and inform. We venture into the often hushed topic of pet euthanasia and its emotional impact on pet owners, as well as the veterinary professionals trusted with making these difficult decisions. We wrap up our exploration with a glimpse into the mental health landscape within the veterinary profession, where stress levels are high, and suicide rates are alarmingly disproportionate. Dr. Banks shares her wealth of knowledge about water-based cremation, memorial items, and much more, offering a fresh perspective on pet loss. We also take time to marvel at the captivating world of cats, their genetics, and the rarity of female orange cats.

Scichat: The Intricate Water-Energy Nexus and the Urgency of Addressing Water Scarcity with Dr. Lauren Logan
Send us a text Did you know that water is essential not only for our hydration but also for generating electricity? Our insightful conversation with Dr. Lauren Logan, an expert in the intriguing world of the energy-water nexus, brings this rarely discussed topic to light. We journeyed through the complex workings of thermoelectric plants, where water cools the electricity generation process, and navigated the energy-intensive world of water and wastewater treatment plants. Water scarcity is a growing concern, and Dr. Logan reminds us of the urgency of valuing this precious resource beyond just our drinking needs. It is a stark reminder that we live in a world where clean water is finite and not always readily available. We also venture into the implications of using large volumes of water for irrigation in arid regions and the inherent dangers of over-pumping aquifers. Groundwater is depleting faster than it can replenish, a situation that calls for heightened awareness and judicious use. We also took a closer look at Ohio's water and energy policies, including the controversial aspects of fracking in natural gas extraction. Our discussion raised eyebrows over Intel's staggering use of a million gallons of water a day, leading us to question the standards of water treatment and the origins of our water resources. This episode is an important listen for anyone curious about the intricate relationship between water and energy, and the urgent need to address water scarcity.

SciChat: Liliian Maher from The Middle Island Penguin Project
Send us a text On this live show we were so lucky to have Lillian from the Warrnambol Penguin Project with us. Tiny penguins lived their life in peace on a gorgeous island on the southern coast of Australia. Foxes found their way onto the island and in a few short years they had killed nearly ALL the penguins. A farmer and biologist teamed up and trained Mareama dogs to guard and protect the penguins instead of chickens. It worked. The penguins were saved and an organization started to spread the word about these giant dogs and the tiny penguins they protect. It's so wholesome.

Spaces Unleashed Bonus Content: Dr. Samantha Wilson on Epigenetics and Premature Births
Send us a text Spaces Unleashed is a live show from Twitter that we run Tuesday at 7:00 PM Mountain Time on Tuesday. Our patrons get early access to the recordings, but we have now decided to share the fun and exciting conversations as bonus content for our podcast subscribers. Who is Dr. Samantha Wilson? From her website: https://swils6.github.io/Samantha-L-Wilson/ I am a postdoctoral research fellow under Dr. Michael Hoffman at Princess Margaret Cancer Centre within the University Health Network (UHN). I previously completed my PhD in Medical Genetics at the University of British Columbia under Dr. Wendy Robinson. I am interested in omics data to understand the etiology of pregnancy and fetal pathologies and use that data to develop predictive models. Currently, I am working with bioinformatics and machine learning approaches to analyze DNA methylation data to give insights into pathogenesis and develop predictive signatures of preterm birth. I am using these data to build predictive signatures that will be usable in the clinical setting. I am interested in integrating omics data in many types of pregnancy complications to increase our understanding of placental development through gestation, understand how pregnancy complications arise, how each of these complications relate to each other and the heterogeneity present within each clinical class of complication.
