Format: Unabridged

Length: 5 mins

Language: English

Release date: 02-18-16

Publisher: MIT Technology Review

Genres: Science & Technology, Magazine & Radio

Publisher's Summary:

Might the communities of microörganisms living in healthy plants hold the keys to dramatically increasing crop yields? A new venture-backed company is betting yes. Indigo, a Cambridge, Massachusetts-based startup, is developing microbe-based crop treatments identified through the study of the beneficial bacteria and fungi - collectively known as the microbiome - that naturally live in and around plants. Formerly known as Symbiota, Indigo announced Thursday that this year it would release its first two products, microbe-based seed coatings for two undisclosed crops.

Title: Brain Drain

Author: Maiken Nedergaard, Steven A. Goldman

Narrator: Jef Holbrook

Format: Unabridged

Length: 18 mins

Language: English

Release date: 02-16-16

Publisher: Scientific American

Genres: Science & Technology, Magazine & Radio

Publisher's Summary:

The human brain weighs only about three pounds, or roughly 2 percent of the average adult body mass. Yet its cells consume 20 to 25 percent of the bodys total energy. In the process, inordinate amounts of potentially toxic protein wastes and biological debris are generated. Each day, the adult brain eliminates a quarter of an ounce of worn-out proteins that must be replaced with newly made ones, a figure that translates into the replacement of half a pound of detritus a month and three pounds, the brains own weight, over the course of a year.

Whats on your music player? If youre older than 30 years, it probably includes songs from your teenage years. Childhood and adolescence are the most impressionable period of a persons life. The earliest memories and experiences are essential in shaping character - and they profoundly influence everything that comes next. The habits we form from childhood make no small difference, but rather they make all the difference, Aristotle proclaimed more than 2,000 years ago.

One whale spotted in the wrong ocean seemed merely odd. But a second misplaced whale looked more like a sign of an ecological shake-up: Pacific Ocean fauna moving into the Atlantic Ocean and vice versa. As the Arctics icy barriers melt, new waterways may soon allow many formerly separated animals to move and mix.

Title: Arctic Warms up in Dark Winters

Author: Thomas Sumner

Narrator: Jamie Renell

Format: Unabridged

Length: 3 mins

Language: English

Release date: 12-15-15

Publisher: Science News

Genres: Science & Technology, Magazine & Radio

Publisher's Summary:

Even when the Arctic goes dark and cold, thinning ice could keep the North Pole from cooling down. The loss of insulating ice between the ocean and atmosphere increases the amount of heat-trapping water vapor and clouds in the Arctic air. That extra moisture keeps air temperatures relatively warm during fall and winter and melts even more ice, new climate simulations suggest. This self-reinforcing cycle could partially explain why Arctic warming has outpaced the global average over recent decades, researchers report online November 11 in the Journal of Climate.
