Just a fraction of the species on our planet are known to science, but more are described and published every day. This podcast talks to the authors of these new species to get the behind-the-scenes stories of how new species are found and named, as well as why these discoveries should matter to everyone, not just scientists. Join us on our journey to better understand the wonderful biodiversity of our planet!Be sure to follow New Species on Twitter (@PodcastSpecies), and support the podcast at https://www.patreon.com/NewSpeciesPod more

Welcome to the Biologic Podcast, an audio exploration of the incredible world of living things.The journey begins at the dawn of life, almost 4 billion years ago. In this ancient eon, biochemical reactions gave rise to ordered systems (the cell) capable of replication. The key to this replication is the genome, and the DNA itself.At this point, the journey expands in scope; we will explore the process of evolution, then move through hundreds of millions of years of evolutionary history until we come to the modern day, to survey the modern world's biodiversity. Then we'll take a step back to look at the ecological interactions of all this life, and the resulting biomes that define the surface of our planet Earth.Our journey through the biological realm takes a sudden turn; having learned about life at the grandest scale, we now return to the ground, to look in greater detail at the various organisms that share this world with us. We first explore the physiology & diversity of plants, and then same for the fungi. Moving from flora to fauna, we explore the physiology & diversity of animals, up to and including the human being. The path is long and the lessons hard, but for the ever-curious listener, there are many great discoveries and insights to be had in the world of the biological. more

An introduction to biological principles and concepts behind the biology we experience every day.

The Poetry of Reality is hosted by world renowned truth-teller, evolutionary biologist and best-selling author, Professor Richard Dawkins. He has been celebrated globally for his honest critique of religion and tradition and his push for critical thinking. His books include The Ancestor's Tale, The Selfish Gene, The Blind Watchmaker, Climbing Mount Improbable, Unweaving the Rainbow, A Devil's Chaplain, The God Delusion, The Greatest Show on Earth, The Magic of Reality, his two-part autobiography An Appetite for Wonder and A Brief Candle in the Dark, and Outgrowing God: A Beginner's Guide. Dawkins has long been known for his uncompromising passion for science, calling out for the pressing need in modern societies for scientific literacy and rational thinking, especially in the education of young minds. His relentless pursuit of truth, and his recognition of the beauty of life on earth, will feature in this podcast, as he charts his way through scientific and existential inquiries like 'What are we doing here?' and 'When did life begin?' more

What drives natural selection ? That's the ultimate question—the one that drives this podcast, this inquiry, this journey. We often think of evolution as something purely biological, but what if it's something more? What if love, consciousness, and human connection are forces just as fundamental to our evolution as survival of the fittest? In Evolve This , we explore philosophy, healthcare, physics, cosmology, quantum concepts, and theory development —all in search of understanding the invisible forces that shape us. From social justice in medicine to the nature of time , from the ethics of patient care to the mystery of the universe's expansion , this podcast is a space to ask big questions and challenge the way we think. As Einstein once wrote to his daughter: 'When scientists looked for a unified theory of the universe, they forgot the most powerful unseen force: Love. Love is Light, that enlightens those who give and receive it. Love is gravity, because it makes some people feel attracted to others. Love is power, because it multiplies the best we have, and allows humanity not to be extinguished in their blind selfishness.' This podcast is about seeking that force —the thing that binds us, the thing that propels us forward. Maybe it's love, maybe it's something deeper, something we haven't yet measured—but something that is undeniably there. This is my journey—to develop a theory , to write a book , to explore the biggest ideas in the universe , and to question what it really means to evolve. Join me. Let's find out together. more
