Published Wed, 05 Mar 2025 19:31:05 GMT

BREVARD COUNTY, Florida (WESH) — Amy Siewe is probably not who you would expect to be the self-proclaimed python huntress.She recollected the trip that sparked it all.“Wow, I’ve got to go down and see what is happening with these pythons. So I went on vacation, caught a python, and I was hooked,” Siewe said.Obsessed with snakes as a child, Siewe was a real estate broker in Indiana, but packed it all in four years ago.“I said, listen, I got to go to Florida. I have to figure out what it’s going to take to become a python hunter,” Siewe said.And she did and now runs her own business taking people out on hunts.“Once I got here, I learned about the devastation of the pythons and everything that’s happening with the ecosystem. But not only with the pythons but all of the invasive species,” Siewe said.Pythons are not indigenous to Florida, so their introduction and rapid growth as an apex predator disrupts the natural food chain.Siewe’s interest shifted.“It was for...

Here’s a toolkit for talking climate change over the holidays

Published Wed, 05 Mar 2025 19:31:05 GMT

Southern Californians have much to be thankful for this holiday season as residents of a place that often feels the effects of climate change firsthand. The drought is over, for now, a relatively mild wildfire season is wrapping up and temperatures have been more moderate than in recent years.But globally, people witnessed the consequences of a warming planet in 2023 like never before.Scientists say massive wildfires in Canada, deadly flooding in North Africa and record heat waves in Phoenix, to name a few of the year’s extreme weather events, were all supercharged by climate change. This year will almost certainly go down as the hottest on record. One climate group reported that the global average temperature on Friday, Nov. 17 briefly reached more than 2 degrees Celsius above pre-industrialization levels for the first time — well above the 1.5-degree goal set by the Paris Climate Agreement to help us avoid more catastrophic effects. And a United Nations report out this week says t...

Koji, an ancient Japanese superfood, is having a moment

Published Wed, 05 Mar 2025 19:31:05 GMT

One day, Ayumi Takeuchi strolled into South Coast Plaza and inspiration struck. She saw a menu posted on the marquee at Populaire Modern Bistro. Listed underneath the duck dish description was the word: koji.Takeuchi stopped in her tracks. Koji is one of the key ingredients in making miso. She works in marketing and business development at Marukome U.S.A., which was founded in Nagano, Japan in 1854. It’s also Japan’s number one miso company. In 2007, Marukome opened its stateside headquarters in Irvine. In addition to miso, Marukome produces different lines of koji for chefs and homecooks. It’s been available to American consumers for nearly a decade but most people are still unfamiliar with it.After seeing koji listed on Populaire’s menu, Takeuchi asked to meet the chef. She wanted to learn more about how he was using koji in his cooking. It was especially interesting since Weber’s food isn’t Japanese. The menu skews French-inspired new American.“I was using it to add umami and ten...

Emily Alpert Reyes | (TNS) Los Angeles TimesLOS ANGELES — Under the afternoon sun, Maggie Tran stopped one person after another on a hectic stretch of Skid Row, asking if they knew a particular woman.No one seemed to recognize the name she repeated at tent after tent as she made her way along the block. “She could have a whole different name out here,” one person replied. “Do you have a picture?”Tran shook her head before heading back to her SUV, disappointed but undeterred. It’s rare for Tran to find the people she’s looking for right away.As a public health investigator, she searches for clues: An emergency contact number listed by a patient during a clinic visit. An old address saved in a database. The location of a homeless encampment where outreach workers found a particular person in the past.Then she heads to the streets. Her job at the Los Angeles County Department of Public Health is to track down a crucial set of patients who slipped awa...

In 1st trial of its kind in the U.S., Irish startup spreads concrete dust on Illinois farm field to remove CO2 from the air

Published Wed, 05 Mar 2025 19:31:05 GMT

Adriana Pérez | Chicago Tribune (TNS)Over the course of millions of years, the earth regularly removes carbon dioxide from the atmosphere through a natural process called weathering, when exposure to the elements wears down surface rocks and silicate minerals.But at the rate humans have been producing and releasing carbon dioxide into the atmosphere since the Industrial Revolution, this process that happens on a geological time scale just isn’t fast enough to keep up.A corn and soybean farm in the village of Buckingham, 60 miles south of Chicago, is providing the testing grounds for an Irish startup attempting to “enhance” weathering, thus shortening the process from millenniums to decades.The Illinois trial, the first of its kind in the United States, is one of many efforts to leverage the potential of different materials to combat global warming.“The whole carbon removal concept exists because we have to backtrack — we’ve gone too far,” said Maurice Bryson, founder and CEO of Iris...
