I'm back on Creature Feature! I love this podcast & if you want to hear about medical advancements that we've made with the help of our animal friends (& you want to hear me embarrass myself by not knowing the color pattern of a giraffe) you're going love it too!

This week (Nov 19- 25) also starts GERD Awareness Week! If anyone is interested in learning something new here is a podcast about GERD.

I learned….

High fat diets can exacerbate GERD symptoms. Fat relaxes the lower esophageal sphincter and slows the rate that food moves through the stomach.
New Episode: GERD!

We’re joined by an expert to learn all about Gastroesophageal Reflux Disease, the misconceptions around it and emerging treatments!

With @katiegoldin.bsky.social & @cwh56.bsky.social

iTunes: tinyurl.com/z35yp6nz

Listen & share with the GERDy people in your life.

This is a topic near and dear to me (inside my esophagus) and it was an absolute delight to learn what the heck is wrong with me from two incredibly smart professionals!

Even more fun fact - the reason the population was small enough for this to be an issue was sue to a very misguided campaign by an umber of conservation NGOs including WWF to promote saiga horn as an alternative to rhino horn, leading populations to be decimated by hunting.

Love these little Star Wars looking guys. Not so fun fact: they’re endangered in large part because of huge herds dropping dead of a mysterious disease. It was later discovered that it’s likely caused by bacteria growth in their noses accelerated by uncommonly warm weather due to global warming.
Daily mammal fact:

The critically endangered saiga antelope once lived across the European steppe, but today it is restricted to Khazakstan and a teeny bit of Russia.

Their big noses help trap dust and warm cool air in winter.

They kindof look like alf.

A painful annoyance you have to deal with once a month? Did Elon reverse engineer a period?
Twitter is saying that users have to log in once every 30 days or they may have their accounts deleted. I take longer to respond to text messages sometimes. Twitter is feeling more and more like a clingy ex-boyfriend every day.

Cool facts about opossums: they’re the only marsupials found in North America, and have pouches like kangaroos. When they “play dead” their body goes through thanatosis, a reflex that mimics death, including the slowing of their heart rate, and a release of a green stinky fluid from their anus.

I've noticed that there are very few accounts on here calling for the public murder of homeless people. Is this a bug? Will it be fixed?

The tonal shift from people saying they don’t want to “have to see” homeless people to straight up advocating murdering them is predictable but so so foreboding. my god.

I cannot even begin to state how much of a profound failure of leadership we have seen in the last 24h re: Jordan Neely.

Virtually every one of us is closer to being in Neely’s shoes than we think. How could any leader struggle to condemn violence? Being poor or sick is not a license to be killed
