Longevity pioneer and XPRIZE founder, Peter H. Diamandis, discusses multiple animal species that can live for hundreds of years, posing the question, “if they can live that long, why can’t we?” Check out his conversation with Lewis Goldberg on our penultimate episode of Alternatively Speaking to hear Peter’s uniquely positive outlook on the future of aging: https://lnkd.in/dYjK_MDE #HealthcareInnovation #XPRIZE #Longevity #Healthspan #PrecisionMedicine

The Silent Suffering of Animals 💔😒 Every day, millions of animals wait in fear, sensing their impending fate in slaughterhouses. The pain, the fear, the helplessness—it’s all visible in their eyes. And yet, we choose to ignore their suffering for just 15-20 minutes of taste on our plates. Their lives are not ours to take. With the abundance of plant-based options available today, we have the power to make kinder, more conscious choices. Let's reflect on the impact of our actions and choose a way of living that doesn't involve causing pain or fear to innocent beings. The change begins with us. Let’s break the cycle of unnecessary harm and create a world where all lives are valued.✅🌱 #govegan #chooselife #plantbasedliving #endanimalsuffering #ethicalchoices #sustainableliving #veganforchange #kindliving #savetheanimals #choosepeace

🌍 ICYMI: I recently had the honor of joining Debbie Dahmer aka “Mama Bear” on her powerful show, “Voices Carry For Animals” on Blog Talk Radio! 🌍 We dove into what it means to build a compassionate “New Earth” for animals and humans alike. 🔥 Catch the Replay Here: “New Earth Rising: A Voice for Animals” 🔥 https://lnkd.in/eMSdPcTF Here’s a peek at the big questions we explored: 💫 What IS the “New Earth”? Imagine a world rooted in compassion, sustainability, and respect for all beings. Are you ready to awaken to a more interconnected way of living? 🤔 Cognitive Dissonance vs. Self-Actualization We discussed how aligning our values with our actions can lead to a more humane world. 🐾 Why Animal Advocacy Matters Is speaking up for animals just about helping them, or does it transform us too? Discover how empathy for animals shapes a harmonious future. 🌱 My Vision of the New Earth I shared my journey as an advocate and why this mission is a core part of my spiritual path. 🤝 The Power of Collective Action The New Earth isn’t built alone! We explored how everyone can make a difference, through activism, education, and daily choices. Ready to tune in? Listen to the recorded episode here: https://lnkd.in/eMSdPcTF Grateful to Debbie Dahmer for this chance to share my vision—let’s keep raising our voices for a kinder world! 🌍🐾 #NewEarth #NewEarthConsciousness #VoicesCarryForAnimals #AnimalAdvocacy #VoiceForTheVoiceless #ListenNow

Introducing the world's deadliest animal… It’s not a lion or a shark or a bear it's a mosquito! To outsmart this tiny killer, we need to not only leverage innovation and cutting-edge science to advance prevention and treatment, but also implement the tools. #WorldMosquitoDay #GlobalHealth #LMICs

Life Forward is more than just a phrase.

We are one week into the National Audubon Society's (NAS) Christmas Bird Count period. If you haven't, locate a count group near you and participate. I worked an area in Dallas County, Iowa, today, with three notable sightings: a Red-Shouldered Hawk, a Harlan's Red-Tailed Hawk, and over 200 American Robins in several groups around red cedar saplings. I've attached photos of the three in the Comments. One strong bit of evidence for climate change was a 2010 "State of the Birds" report from NAS that examined 40 years of data from these winter bird counts across the continent. About 300 species were included, of which two thirds had shifted the region of their densest population to the north by 35 miles (the lower limit) to well over 400 miles for some species. Of the other third, many had made shifts, but in other directions. I agree with the NAS conclusion that climate change is the best explanation by far. A species that I should have seen today, the once-common Black-Capped Chickadee, has made one of the dramatic shifts, about 425 miles for its population density. In prime habitat today, I didn't see any, and in recent months in other Iowa locations, I'm lucky to see one or two. In the 1970s, when I was learning how to bird, a banditry of chickadees would sing and scold almost every time I into a pasture or public area. Not so anymore. (A "banditry" is the official word for a group of chickadees, similar to a "murder" of crows or a "pod" of pelicans.) For more information on the Christmas Bird Counts, follow the link.
