than I've ever had are you got quite a 210 00:08:19,010 --> 00:08:17,040 distinctive face and I mean that in a 211 00:08:20,480 --> 00:08:19,020 good way ok I love you knit in the good 212 00:08:22,160 --> 00:08:20,490 way there well that's great that's 213 00:08:23,990 --> 00:08:22,170 amazing now that is the what they call 214 00:08:26,180 --> 00:08:24,000 it the law of large numbers i believe is 215 00:08:29,180 --> 00:08:26,190 what they say is coincidence yes every 216 00:08:31,160 --> 00:08:29,190 day I catch a train so inevitable that 217 00:08:33,350 --> 00:08:31,170 you would at least be on that train at 218 00:08:34,850 --> 00:08:33,360 least once although i really go to win 219 00:08:36,650 --> 00:08:34,860 you'd station you'd normally find me 220 00:08:38,390 --> 00:08:36,660 catching off hopping off somewhere at 221 00:08:41,120 --> 00:08:38,400 central or maybe in the hunter but 222 00:08:43,730 --> 00:08:41,130 really we need so that is statistically 223 00:08:45,770 --> 00:08:43,740 unlikely but not impossible hmm it's 224 00:08:47,150 --> 00:08:45,780 plausible mmm and you are only one of 225 00:08:49,790 --> 00:08:47,160 the three listeners to the show too so 226 00:08:52,010 --> 00:08:49,800 that that's a fairly low number I don't 227 00:08:53,930 --> 00:08:52,020 say that no I I know at least three 228 00:08:55,520 --> 00:08:53,940 people who do listen to it so let me 229 00:08:57,590 --> 00:08:55,530 just double dare you have fun and don't 230 00:08:59,450 --> 00:08:57,600 heckle dr. Karl I'll try not to because 231 00:09:01,580 --> 00:08:59,460 he's come back so I'll cut you all right 232 00:09:08,720 --> 00:09:01,590 yeah that's true that's true I'll avoid 233 00:09:13,200 --> 00:09:10,530 we're here at the powerhouse museum 234 00:09:15,450 --> 00:09:13,210 looking at the Russian space suit it 235 00:09:18,570 --> 00:09:15,460 looks agricultural and very utilitarian 236 00:09:20,460 --> 00:09:18,580 none of this fancy nancy pansy nasa 237 00:09:22,380 --> 00:09:20,470 stuff for those guys may not you know 238 00:09:24,660 --> 00:09:22,390 I'm looking at this this old Russian 239 00:09:27,150 --> 00:09:24,670 space suits real one and it's just 240 00:09:32,040 --> 00:09:27,160 struck me how can something space-aged 241 00:09:33,900 --> 00:09:32,050 look antiquated it's it's it's insane I 242 00:09:36,270 --> 00:09:33,910 mean it really does look like an 243 00:09:38,310 --> 00:09:36,280 old-fashioned space suit but that sounds 244 00:09:39,750 --> 00:09:38,320 like a contradiction yeah but it looked 245 00:09:41,880 --> 00:09:39,760 ittle bit looks looks pretty rugged but 246 00:09:43,710 --> 00:09:41,890 it looks rugged as they have to be you 247 00:09:46,620 --> 00:09:43,720 just always think of the space suit as 248 00:09:48,690 --> 00:09:46,630 being white and like you know clean and 249 00:09:49,890 --> 00:09:48,700 but it probably stinks up a storm once 250 00:09:52,740 --> 00:09:49,900 you've been in one for a couple of hours 251 00:09:55,020 --> 00:09:52,750 no doubt well this one it's discolored 252 00:09:57,240 --> 00:09:55,030 somewhat but yeah there is a real 253 00:09:59,070 --> 00:09:57,250 splashing of Russian it's a real 254 00:10:00,360 --> 00:09:59,080 splashing spaceship and it smelled proof 255 00:10:01,770 --> 00:10:00,370 glass because I reckon if you got close 256 00:10:03,630 --> 00:10:01,780 to that space suit it would smell a 257 00:10:05,730 --> 00:10:03,640 vodka and prawns and look at the 258 00:10:09,000 --> 00:10:05,740 comparison here we've got a jumpsuit as 259 00:10:11,970 --> 00:10:09,010 one by one of the astronauts on the 260 00:10:14,070 --> 00:10:11,980 space shuttle and very clean and attract 261 00:10:16,920 --> 00:10:14,080 tracksuit pants as worn on the space 262 00:10:19,980 --> 00:10:16,930 shuttle too so it's station casual wear 263 00:10:21,870 --> 00:10:19,990 yeah I mean none of this onesie nonsense 264 00:10:23,730 --> 00:10:21,880 if you're going to be flying around in 265 00:10:26,010 --> 00:10:23,740 space at tens of thousands of kilometers 266 00:10:27,390 --> 00:10:26,020 an hour no no you have to look the part 267 00:10:30,300 --> 00:10:27,400 don't you that looks like something from 268 00:10:34,100 --> 00:10:30,310 space 1999 it also looks like something 269 00:10:36,090 --> 00:10:34,110 you might have worn to a rave in 1999 270 00:10:39,360 --> 00:10:36,100 we're in the part of the powerhouse 271 00:10:41,220 --> 00:10:39,370 museum where it's the idea is to show 272 00:10:42,780 --> 00:10:41,230 you how the disorientation of space can 273 00:10:44,190 --> 00:10:42,790 occur Richard how would you explain what 274 00:10:46,500 --> 00:10:44,200 we're looking at here I can't see any of 275 00:10:48,450 --> 00:10:46,510 the children vomiting yet just wait man 276 00:10:50,370 --> 00:10:48,460 out they will it's a tube you're walking 277 00:10:52,530 --> 00:10:50,380 into a tube and it's made out of like 278 00:10:54,750 --> 00:10:52,540 perspex and on the outside of the tube 279 00:10:56,040 --> 00:10:54,760 there's a rotating room so once you're 280 00:10:58,949 --> 00:10:56,050 in the tube you're looking 281 00:11:00,509 --> 00:10:58,959 the room rotating around you you lose 282 00:11:02,639 --> 00:11:00,519 all sense of what's up and what's down 283 00:11:05,280 --> 00:11:02,649 and you start to fall people start to 284 00:11:06,930 --> 00:11:05,290 lean and fall over let's show we entered 285 00:11:09,630 --> 00:11:06,940 them I think we should walk into it here 286 00:11:14,009 --> 00:11:09,640 they've got a bit of an auditory 287 00:11:17,430 --> 00:11:14,019 commentary going in the background looks 288 00:11:19,500 --> 00:11:17,440 like we're tilting it this way it does 289 00:11:22,319 --> 00:11:19,510 doesn't have it's rather upsetting it 290 00:11:23,910 --> 00:11:22,329 could lead to motion sickness I think I 291 00:11:25,590 --> 00:11:23,920 know where they got I think they got the 292 00:11:27,930 --> 00:11:25,600 ideas from is it I've been to some 293 00:11:29,400 --> 00:11:27,940 parties like this have you yeah I think 294 00:11:32,009 --> 00:11:29,410 they got the idea from this from one of 295 00:11:33,420 --> 00:11:32,019 Frank Sinatra's sixties parties so we 296 00:11:35,280 --> 00:11:33,430 stare at the end of the wall keep 297 00:11:37,170 --> 00:11:35,290 staring and what's happening it's still 298 00:11:42,810 --> 00:11:37,180 and we're moving right mmm but we're not 299 00:11:45,079 --> 00:11:42,820 wit perfectly stationary this is really 300 00:11:48,000 --> 00:11:45,089 trippy I'm kind of enjoying this good 301 00:12:06,870 --> 00:11:48,010 can you get one of these for huh yeah 302 00:12:08,819 --> 00:12:06,880 it's called a washing machine that's the 303 00:12:10,530 --> 00:12:08,829 Apollo 11 moon landing that reminds me 304 00:12:12,210 --> 00:12:10,540 we must talk to our arrow engineer 305 00:12:14,400 --> 00:12:12,220 friend that we had on a few months back 306 00:12:16,440 --> 00:12:14,410 who helped design the the low fuel 307 00:12:19,319 --> 00:12:16,450 warning for the Apollo capsule among 308 00:12:20,850 --> 00:12:19,329 other things but going into space it's a 309 00:12:22,920 --> 00:12:20,860 fairly risky business and when you're 310 00:12:24,900 --> 00:12:22,930 there I believe that one of the advice 311 00:12:26,400 --> 00:12:24,910 that you as we say have said in previous 312 00:12:28,410 --> 00:12:26,410 episodes not a real astronaut until 313 00:12:30,180 --> 00:12:28,420 you've used the space toilet if you're 314 00:12:31,829 --> 00:12:30,190 on the space station and of course I 315 00:12:33,360 --> 00:12:31,839 mentioned that they would not put brown 316 00:12:35,400 --> 00:12:33,370 eminem's and their em an impact because 317 00:12:37,560 --> 00:12:35,410 with what's going on in space you a 318 00:12:40,139 --> 00:12:37,570 weightless brown M&M may not be a brown 319 00:12:41,730 --> 00:12:40,149 M&M you'd want to be careful either I 320 00:12:43,380 --> 00:12:41,740 think they request the green ones my I 321 00:12:46,170 --> 00:12:43,390 would request we look at this here's a 322 00:12:48,360 --> 00:12:46,180 picture taken on the Apollo 11 mission 323 00:12:51,269 --> 00:12:48,370 it's Buzz Aldrin very it does look so 324 00:12:54,420 --> 00:12:51,279 much like a set gotta say it does but if 325 00:12:56,670 --> 00:12:54,430 you notice in his visor that is Neil 326 00:12:58,230 --> 00:12:56,680 Armstrong and I think if memory serves 327 00:12:59,850 --> 00:12:58,240 that's the only photograph of Neil 328 00:13:01,920 --> 00:12:59,860 Armstrong on the moon that one right 329 00:13:04,620 --> 00:13:01,930 there was he he got the camera he he he 330 00:13:06,150 --> 00:13:04,630 he got the hasselblad yeah great cameras 331 00:13:07,620 --> 00:13:06,160 absolutely and look at the quality of 332 00:13:09,000 --> 00:13:07,630 this photograph it's just it's just 333 00:13:10,830 --> 00:13:09,010 amazing it's 334 00:13:13,440 --> 00:13:10,840 amazing i do believe was to and quarter 335 00:13:15,030 --> 00:13:13,450 square negative and so part of the the 336 00:13:17,220 --> 00:13:15,040 moon landing hoax theories that the 337 00:13:19,230 --> 00:13:17,230 photos are so good and they are so well 338 00:13:20,610 --> 00:13:19,240 composed considering that Neil couldn't 339 00:13:21,600 --> 00:13:20,620 look through the viewfinder he had to 340 00:13:23,160 --> 00:13:21,610 shoot from the hip because it was 341 00:13:27,570 --> 00:13:23,170 attached to him he did a pretty good job 342 00:13:29,940 --> 00:13:27,580 but look no stars mmm whoa no stars and 343 00:13:31,530 --> 00:13:29,950 there are what is the reason that we get 344 00:13:33,540 --> 00:13:31,540 for that it's a reflection of the moon 345 00:13:35,490 --> 00:13:33,550 the sunlight on the moon and that black 346 00:13:36,840 --> 00:13:35,500 sea water reasoning from from memory 347 00:13:39,420 --> 00:13:36,850 partly because it's daylight it's 348 00:13:41,040 --> 00:13:39,430 daytime on the moon and the cameras 349 00:13:44,070 --> 00:13:41,050 weren't there to photograph stars they 350 00:13:46,260 --> 00:13:44,080 were calibrated for photographing the 351 00:13:47,730 --> 00:13:46,270 train and people yeah that's just a 352 00:13:49,800 --> 00:13:47,740 touch convenient but isn't it really 353 00:13:58,850 --> 00:13:49,810 really well next time I go to the moon 354 00:14:03,000 --> 00:14:00,780 don't you hate it when people make that 355 00:14:08,100 --> 00:14:03,010 noise next to you and the light's still 356 00:14:16,290 --> 00:14:14,670 oh look it's it's a rare chance for the 357 00:14:18,540 --> 00:14:16,300 powerhouse to work a bit blue tonight 358 00:14:21,800 --> 00:14:18,550 isn't it it is indeed we are a family 359 00:14:24,630 --> 00:14:21,810 museum and I think this is an adults 360 00:14:26,190 --> 00:14:24,640 adults evening so it gives us a chance 361 00:14:28,980 --> 00:14:26,200 to bring out some of the things that we 362 00:14:30,120 --> 00:14:28,990 wouldn't necessarily talk about or we 363 00:14:32,340 --> 00:14:30,130 don't have to spend so much time 364 00:14:33,930 --> 00:14:32,350 explaining them and module name so 365 00:14:36,329 --> 00:14:33,940 Matthew Connell what's your position 366 00:14:38,610 --> 00:14:36,339 here I'm senior curator here at the 367 00:14:40,829 --> 00:14:38,620 Museum Wow so all this stuff would this 368 00:14:42,480 --> 00:14:40,839 be in the cupboard marked do not touch 369 00:14:44,910 --> 00:14:42,490 beware of the coyote normally would it 370 00:14:47,100 --> 00:14:44,920 well actually everything's in a cupboard 371 00:14:48,420 --> 00:14:47,110 mark do not do an itouch that's right 372 00:14:50,519 --> 00:14:48,430 and you've all got your gloves on well 373 00:14:52,380 --> 00:14:50,529 let's start with this here yeah well 374 00:14:54,360 --> 00:14:52,390 that's a pretty impressive display 375 00:14:56,670 --> 00:14:54,370 you've got here what's this one down 376 00:14:59,250 --> 00:14:56,680 here now this this clearly doesn't work 377 00:15:01,079 --> 00:14:59,260 this is a defective unit you've got here 378 00:15:02,759 --> 00:15:01,089 there's a small human that's going to 379 00:15:04,170 --> 00:15:02,769 come out from what looks like between 380 00:15:05,340 --> 00:15:04,180 two legs here and clearly this is not 381 00:15:07,829 --> 00:15:05,350 going to this is a broken one that 382 00:15:10,800 --> 00:15:07,839 someone returned this is a teaching it's 383 00:15:13,490 --> 00:15:10,810 a it's called a phantom and it's an 384 00:15:16,800 --> 00:15:13,500 obstetric phantom and it's it's to 385 00:15:18,930 --> 00:15:16,810 demonstrate how babies come from the 386 00:15:22,980 --> 00:15:18,940 uterus and out through the vaginal canal 387 00:15:27,329 --> 00:15:22,990 and I know it looks a bit rudimentary 388 00:15:30,360 --> 00:15:27,339 but but that's what it's for and on they 389 00:15:34,110 --> 00:15:30,370 still have similar things today although 390 00:15:35,910 --> 00:15:34,120 this one has a particular look to it it 391 00:15:38,910 --> 00:15:35,920 does it get shown to anyone before they 392 00:15:40,530 --> 00:15:38,920 decide to have a child at all because it 393 00:15:42,240 --> 00:15:40,540 could be an effective it could be an 394 00:15:44,579 --> 00:15:42,250 effective contraceptive device in some 395 00:15:47,220 --> 00:15:44,589 ways now it's you might want to show it 396 00:15:50,069 --> 00:15:47,230 to apps you know young teens that you 397 00:15:53,579 --> 00:15:50,079 think ought to consider the matter twice 398 00:15:57,540 --> 00:15:53,589 it doesn't make childbirth look inviting 399 00:15:58,889 --> 00:15:57,550 no but but it is instructional and I 400 00:16:00,720 --> 00:15:58,899 mean no offers the opportunity to I 401 00:16:06,780 --> 00:16:00,730 guess to demonstrate different types of 402 00:16:08,639 --> 00:16:06,790 births breech births and added alike so 403 00:16:09,960 --> 00:16:08,649 there what else have you got here that 404 00:16:12,150 --> 00:16:09,970 this pretty fascinating I've seen the 405 00:16:13,319 --> 00:16:12,160 whole look what's a Tom

can't come out very often because 431 00:17:11,909 --> 00:17:09,130 it's a family-friendly museum yeah we 432 00:17:15,630 --> 00:17:11,919 can adapt as we can adapt Tom to take 433 00:17:17,850 --> 00:17:15,640 his penis off so yeah he's available for 434 00:17:19,110 --> 00:17:17,860 different situations and what is that 435 00:17:22,020 --> 00:17:19,120 you've got next to it looks like a 436 00:17:24,090 --> 00:17:22,030 Madonna type outfit I thought why I only 437 00:17:27,600 --> 00:17:24,100 described at the moment what is that and 438 00:17:29,820 --> 00:17:27,610 that's of course it

502 00:20:29,210 --> 00:20:26,820 science from are ions bringing you the 503 00:20:31,040 --> 00:20:29,220 science you need to know do you ever see 504 00:20:33,710 --> 00:20:31,050 your cat or dog staring at something 505 00:20:35,930 --> 00:20:33,720 invisible it's pretty creepy but it made 506 00:20:44,820 --> 00:20:35,940 me wonder if animals can actually see 507 00:20:49,480 --> 00:20:47,380 first let's talk about how we see 508 00:20:52,030 --> 00:20:49,490 remember that the color of light is 509 00:20:54,250 --> 00:20:52,040 determined by its wavelength we have two 510 00:20:57,010 --> 00:20:54,260 types of receptor cells in our eyes to 511 00:20:58,930 --> 00:20:57,020 detect this light rod cells which detect 512 00:21:00,940 --> 00:20:58,940 how bright the light is and cone cells 513 00:21:03,400 --> 00:21:00,950 which detects the color of light by 514 00:21:05,500 --> 00:21:03,410 absorbing particular wavelengths human 515 00:21:07,660 --> 00:21:05,510 cone cells can detect red green and blue 516 00:21:09,220 --> 00:21:07,670 wavelengths and these can combine to 517 00:21:12,010 --> 00:21:09,230 give us any color in the visible 518 00:21:14,980 --> 00:21:12,020 spectrum but the visible spectrum only 519 00:21:16,990 --> 00:21:14,990 applies to humans very presumptuous many 520 00:21:18,610 --> 00:21:17,000 animals can see in wavelengths outside 521 00:21:22,270 --> 00:21:18,620 the visible spectrum we're actually 522 00:21:24,220 --> 00:21:22,280 missing out our red light receptors 523 00:21:26,680 --> 00:21:24,230 evolved after primates diverged from 524 00:21:29,080 --> 00:21:26,690 other mammals like cats and dogs meaning 525 00:21:30,970 --> 00:21:29,090 that they can't see Reds but recent 526 00:21:33,430 --> 00:21:30,980 research is revealing that many of these 527 00:21:35,350 --> 00:21:33,440 mammals can see UV light instead which 528 00:21:38,140 --> 00:21:35,360 is invisible to us and our primate 529 00:21:40,060 --> 00:21:38,150 relatives birds get even more again with 530 00:21:43,210 --> 00:21:40,070 an additional cone cell receptor that 531 00:21:45,940 --> 00:21:43,220 allows them to see violet plus lots and 532 00:21:47,890 --> 00:21:45,950 lots of birds seen uv2 kestrels and 533 00:21:50,050 --> 00:21:47,900 hawks for example can detect where 534 00:21:52,210 --> 00:21:50,060 rodents of being because their urine 535 00:21:54,040 --> 00:21:52,220 trails reflect UV light it's like a 536 00:21:57,010 --> 00:21:54,050 glowing map that shows their preys 537 00:21:59,800 --> 00:21:57,020 location from huge distances butterflies 538 00:22:01,960 --> 00:21:59,810 and bees also detect UV allowing them to 539 00:22:04,210 --> 00:22:01,970 see patterns on flowers that look plain 540 00:22:05,800 --> 00:22:04,220 yellow or white to us directing them 541 00:22:08,440 --> 00:22:05,810 straight to the juicy nectar or pollen 542 00:22:10,070 --> 00:22:08,450 and now for fast facts about animal 543 00:22:12,889 --> 00:22:10,080 vision 544 00:22:14,899 --> 00:22:12,899 while caps can't see red they do have 545 00:22:16,730 --> 00:22:14,909 more rod receptors than us meaning 546 00:22:18,159 --> 00:22:16,740 they're more sensitive to light and can 547 00:22:21,289 --> 00:22:18,169 see better than us when it's dark 548 00:22:22,970 --> 00:22:21,299 Viper's pythons and Boas have pits on 549 00:22:25,340 --> 00:22:22,980 their face containing membranes that 550 00:22:27,080 --> 00:22:25,350 detect long infrared wavelengths more 551 00:22:29,259 --> 00:22:27,090 commonly known as heat letting them 552 00:22:32,330 --> 00:22:29,269 detect warm bodies up to one meter away 553 00:22:34,909 --> 00:22:32,340 snow reflects UV light while whiteford 554 00:22:36,769 --> 00:22:34,919 doesn't so seeing in the UV is pretty 555 00:22:38,240 --> 00:22:36,779 helpful if you have a white polar bear 556 00:22:40,909 --> 00:22:38,250 stalking you which would be almost 557 00:22:43,159 --> 00:22:40,919 invisible to our eyes and while animals 558 00:22:45,769 --> 00:22:43,169 often see a more colorful world it can 559 00:22:47,990 --> 00:22:45,779 also be a bit fuzzy whereas humans see 560 00:22:50,060 --> 00:22:48,000 incredibly clearly that's it for this 561 00:22:51,980 --> 00:22:50,070 week in science for more information on 562 00:22:55,340 --> 00:22:51,990

604 00:25:10,480 --> 00:25:09,289 movement I'll say a bit I I tend to get 605 00:25:13,000 --> 00:25:10,490 pulled into anything health-related 606 00:25:16,539 --> 00:25:13,010 that's where I really get frustrated and 607 00:25:19,240 --> 00:25:16,549 a bit passionate yes Peter over here mr. 608 00:25:21,010 --> 00:25:19,250 ratbag now why should we continue to be 609 00:25:23,560 --> 00:25:21,020 skeptics when we could be doing 610 00:25:26,350 --> 00:25:23,570 something else involving a pool and 611 00:25:28,000 --> 00:25:26,360 drinks well I think I can still hit the 612 00:25:30,549 --> 00:25:28,010 pool and drinks in around the skepticism 613 00:25:33,310 --> 00:25:30,559 Isaac good good point sir the saddest 614 00:25:35,380 --> 00:25:33,320 book I've ever read in my life is dads 615 00:25:37,510 --> 00:25:35,390 and fallacies by martin gardner it was 616 00:25:40,060 --> 00:25:37,520 published in nineteen fifty two parts of 617 00:25:41,830 --> 00:25:40,070 catch-22 are pretty sad that why this is 618 00:25:43,810 --> 00:25:41,840 sad which published in nineteen fifty 619 00:25:46,799 --> 00:25:43,820 two and you read it that reads like 620 00:25:49,060 --> 00:25:46,809 today almost nothing in it as going away 621 00:25:51,669 --> 00:25:49,070 and so I don't think well they'll ever 622 00:25:54,190 --> 00:25:51,679 be a time when skepticism runs out of 623 00:25:55,390 --> 00:25:54,200 things to do I think they're back then 624 00:25:56,919 --> 00:25:55,400 you might have had a bit of more of the 625 00:25:59,440 --> 00:25:56,929 phrenology where the bumps on the head 626 00:26:01,720 --> 00:25:59,450 you might add more that then a lot of 627 00:26:04,779 --> 00:26:01,730 the stuff in that book is about religion 628 00:26:06,460 --> 00:26:04,789 about met health that medical things 629 00:26:08,680 --> 00:26:06,470 some of that stuff tear has been around 630 00:26:11,620 --> 00:26:08,690 forever I just never goes away is there 631 00:26:12,760 --> 00:26:11,630 any new sort of whew that's that's comin 632 00:26:14,350 --> 00:26:12,770 lately that you're gone well there's a 633 00:26:17,380 --> 00:26:14,360 new one or you reckon you've seen it all 634 00:26:19,919 --> 00:26:17,390 oh I think that there's the blue people 635 00:26:21,269 --> 00:26:19,929 are enormously imaginative and creative 636 00:26:23,419 --> 00:26:21,279 I've been something that didn't exist 20 637 00:26:25,710 --> 00:26:23,429 years ago is a cause wind farm syndrome 638 00:26:29,789 --> 00:26:25,720 where people can invent these new 639 00:26:30,930 --> 00:26:29,799 diseases that come along we've never 640 00:26:33,539 --> 00:26:30,940 heard of these things before but 641 00:26:36,330 --> 00:26:33,549 suddenly they're there and there's a 642 00:26:37,649 --> 00:26:36,340 mess of cures for them as well so I mean 643 00:26:39,330 --> 00:26:37,659 and of course they're also other things 644 00:26:41,129 --> 00:26:39,340 which as well as their hundreds of cures 645 00:26:44,999 --> 00:26:41,139 for things are also things which are 646 00:26:48,570 --> 00:26:45,009 cures for everything up I'll just wander 647 00:26:50,369 --> 00:26:48,580 around the table here oh how are you huh 648 00:26:52,710 --> 00:26:50,379 look why do you think we should still 649 00:26:55,409 --> 00:26:52,720 still be skeptics here like your group 650 00:26:57,779 --> 00:26:55,419 you're an engineer with a bit of physics 651 00:27:00,330 --> 00:26:57,789 action going on there and and you talk 652 00:27:02,190 --> 00:27:00,340 about the three-legged stool a lot why 653 00:27:03,749 --> 00:27:02,200 should we still be skeptics a favor I 654 00:27:06,149 --> 00:27:03,759 think the main reason is that we can 655 00:27:09,480 --> 00:27:06,159 have an enjoyable evening out among 656 00:27:11,399 --> 00:27:09,490 friends with no delusions see right fair 657 00:27:13,560 --> 00:27:11,409 enough everything has to be supported by 658 00:27:17,070 --> 00:27:13,570 evidence that's right had at least no 659 00:27:18,659 --> 00:27:17,080 delusions about the paranormal what is 660 00:27:20,340 --> 00:27:18,669 the thing that you've encountered lately 661 00:27:22,289 --> 00:27:20,350 that has been putting we've filled up 662 00:27:24,749 --> 00:27:22,299 okay well this one that we looked at 663 00:27:26,970 --> 00:27:24,759 which was the ability to back 664 00:27:29,220 --> 00:27:26,980 conversations using a very high 665 00:27:31,470 --> 00:27:29,230 resolution camera that can even pick up 666 00:27:33,210 --> 00:27:31,480 the vibrations on a piece of paper yes 667 00:27:34,409 --> 00:27:33,220 now yes this story came out a little 668 00:27:36,720 --> 00:27:34,419 while ago we're looking at a camera 669 00:27:39,570 --> 00:27:36,730 that's going a couple of hundreds of 670 00:27:41,639 --> 00:27:39,580 thousand frames a second isn't it oh yes 671 00:27:42,989 --> 00:27:41,649 or at least twenty thousand frames a 672 00:27:45,389 --> 00:27:42,999 second too if you want to capture all of 673 00:27:47,039 --> 00:27:45,399 the audio spectrum but but even 10,000 674 00:27:49,049 --> 00:27:47,049 frames a second to get you good quality 675 00:27:51,509 --> 00:27:49,059 sound and is this something that's 676 00:27:53,820 --> 00:27:51,519 actually doable well unlike most things 677 00:27:55,710 --> 00:27:53,830 are skeptics here's a bit yes it's been 678 00:27:58,169 --> 00:27:55,720 done by some University people and the 679 00:28:01,409 --> 00:27:58,179 physics is all sound and their tests 680 00:28:03,930 --> 00:28:01,419 look quite robust okay cool thanks for 681 00:28:05,609 --> 00:28:03,940 that okay you're welcome now you're over 682 00:28:07,470 --> 00:28:05,619 here in the corner getting stuck into 683 00:28:09,269 --> 00:28:07,480 your your pastor there and we do mean 684 00:28:11,430 --> 00:28:09,279 that we don't mean in a theological time 685 00:28:15,299 --> 00:28:11,440 you mean the kind you eat and why should 686 00:28:18,480 --> 00:28:15,309 we still be skeptics um I guess I on 687 00:28:20,460 --> 00:28:18,490 from katoomba and so my views are 688 00:28:22,169 --> 00:28:20,470 heavily influenced by where I live which 689 00:28:23,340 --> 00:28:22,179 means you get pretty cold at night so 690 00:28:26,340 --> 00:28:23,350 does that mean you're more skeptical 691 00:28:29,099 --> 00:28:26,350 during a day or what a man consumed by 692 00:28:30,450 --> 00:28:29,109 the 2780 postcode that we live in has 693 00:28:32,490 --> 00:28:30,460 one of the lowest vaccination 694 00:28:34,920 --> 00:28:32,500 it's in the country our vaccination 695 00:28:36,540 --> 00:28:34,930 rates are about 75 to 80 percent so how 696 00:28:38,730 --> 00:28:36,550 do they stack up against the north coast 697 00:28:40,470 --> 00:28:38,740 ones are also known to be low they're 698 00:28:42,360 --> 00:28:40,480 actually much better than the north 699 00:28:43,500 --> 00:28:42,370 coast we're actually started we in 700 00:28:46,050 --> 00:28:43,510 consumer actually much better than the 701 00:28:48,660 --> 00:28:46,060 north coast but compared to the rest of 702 00:28:49,730 --> 00:28:48,670 the country it's woeful and I believe we 703 00:28:53,430 --> 00:28:49,740 need about ninety-five percent 704 00:28:55,740 --> 00:28:53,440 vaccination rate for herd immunity so my 705 00:28:57,330 --> 00:28:55,750 community is at risk the children in my 706 00:28:59,370 --> 00:28:57,340 community and the elderly particularly 707 00:29:01,110 --> 00:28:59,380 or at risk so you get out there in the 708 00:29:02,910 --> 00:29:01,120 street and go hey if you had the jab or 709 00:29:04,380 --> 00:29:02,920 ever had your kids had the jab have you 710 00:29:06,420 --> 00:29:04,390 gone low believe you tried wrong with 711 00:29:08,370 --> 00:29:06,430 anybody look I haven't and what we need 712 00:29:10,620 --> 00:29:08,380 to do is to have it is to start a 713 00:29:13,440 --> 00:29:10,630 strategic campaign we need to include 714 00:29:15,720 --> 00:29:13,450 the GPS we need to have public forums we 715 00:29:18,450 --> 00:29:15,730 need to do a Facebook campaign but I 716 00:29:20,940 --> 00:29:18,460 have started I have started expressing 717 00:29:23,670 --> 00:29:20,950 my views on facebook and I didn't used 718 00:29:25,110 --> 00:29:23,680 to do that I used to to keep that to 719 00:29:27,180 --> 00:29:25,120 myself because there was so much 720 00:29:29,460 --> 00:29:27,190 opposition in my own community but I 721 00:29:32,460 --> 00:29:29,470 decided that children dying was probably 722 00:29:35,880 --> 00:29:32,470 more important than keeping friends cook 723 00:29:39,000 --> 00:29:35,890 pot in the womb thank you will try know 724 00:29:40,740 --> 00:29:39,010 who have we got here Claire Claire now 725 00:29:42,540 --> 00:29:40,750 why do you think we should be skeptics 726 00:29:43,740 --> 00:29:42,550 in 2014 what is the need for people to 727 00:29:45,390 --> 00:29:43,750 go around going could you show us 728 00:29:46,620 --> 00:29:45,400 evidence what is the need for that why 729 00:29:48,390 --> 00:29:46,630 do we need to bother people why do we 730 00:29:49,770 --> 00:29:48,400 need to annoy people like that because 731 00:29:52,890 --> 00:29:49,780 there's a lot of baloney that goes 732 00:29:57,600 --> 00:29:52,900 around alone yes salami now what's look 733 00:29:59,850 --> 00:29:57,610 at what to carry on that annoys you well 734 00:30:01,770 --> 00:29:59,860 I'm a teacher and my students always 735 00:30:05,220 --> 00:30:01,780 come up and go do you believe in the 736 00:30:07,110 --> 00:30:05,230 Bible or in evolution and we have a 737 00:30:10,740 --> 00:30:07,120 brilliant lesson absolutely brilliant 738 00:30:14,300 --> 00:30:10,750 lesson about how our brains are really 739 00:30:16,620 --> 00:30:14,310 fitted for storytelling and for you know 740 00:30:18,630 --> 00:30:16,630 investigating the world in a in a way 741 00:30:21,180 --> 00:30:18,640 that allowed our ancestors to survive 742 00:30:23,100 --> 00:30:21,190 but that's not a modern city environment 743 00:30:27,030 --> 00:30:23,110 we have to be aware of how our brains 744 00:30:29,010 --> 00:30:27,040 work and aware of how our mind can play 745 00:30:30,270 --> 00:30:29,020 tricks on us sometimes or can want to 746 00:30:32,760 --> 00:30:30,280 see something where there isn't 747 00:30:35,130 --> 00:30:32,770 something or can want to have a 748 00:30:37,350 --> 00:30:35,140 particular experience and in a modern 749 00:30:40,920 --> 00:30:37,360 city world we really have to be aware of 750 00:30:41,690 --> 00:30:40,930 how we function as human beings in their 751 00:30:43,279 --> 00:30:41,700 world 752 00:30:45,049 --> 00:30:43,289 working with primary school kids or high 753 00:30:47,149 --> 00:30:45,059 school kids high school kids kids who 754 00:30:48,710 --> 00:30:47,159 are troubled who have discipline 755 00:30:52,039 --> 00:30:48,720 problems behavior problems their kids 756 00:30:55,850 --> 00:30:52,049 who are on the real edge the the 757 00:30:57,919 --> 00:30:55,860 coalface so there's no BS because they 758 00:31:01,730 --> 00:30:57,929 are better at BS than you are so you 759 00:31:03,889 --> 00:31:01,740 have to does this make them more 760 00:31:05,389 --> 00:31:03,899 predisposed to believing whoo or less 761 00:31:07,789 --> 00:31:05,399 because they've got a bit more of a 762 00:31:11,990 --> 00:31:07,799 gritty by both sides of life sort of 763 00:31:15,860 --> 00:31:12,000 aspect both they're more exposed because 764 00:31:17,810 --> 00:31:15,870 they're they want anything and they 765 00:31:20,840 --> 00:31:17,820 don't have anything and so anything that 766 00:31:22,909 --> 00:31:20,850 sounds good they want to grab on to but 767 00:31:25,220 --> 00:31:22,919 also their their BS meter is highly 768 00:31:27,860 --> 00:31:25,230 attuned so they you just point out to 769 00:31:29,149 --> 00:31:27,870 them slightly one aspect of something 770 00:31:31,700 --> 00:31:29,159 that doesn't make sense and there and 771 00:31:33,649 --> 00:31:31,710 they understand it and what what's your 772 00:31:35,149 --> 00:31:33,659 favorite subject to teach to is a one 773 00:31:36,409 --> 00:31:35,159 aspect of science that you like getting 774 00:31:38,120 --> 00:31:36,419 over to the kids or was it more a 775 00:31:39,919 --> 00:31:38,130 philosophical critical thinking thing 776 00:31:42,919 --> 00:31:39,929 you're trying to push well my original 777 00:31:44,299 --> 00:31:42,929 training is in the fine arts I don't 778 00:31:49,789 --> 00:31:44,309 have science training I have science 779 00:31:53,690 --> 00:31:49,799 interest and I started out being at art 780 00:31:55,909 --> 00:31:53,700 teacher who then went out and did 781 00:31:57,320 --> 00:31:55,919 science talks and things about dinosaurs 782 00:32:01,940 --> 00:31:57,330 and so on and then I got this job at the 783 00:32:03,259 --> 00:32:01,950 school and my predilection for being 784 00:32:07,159 --> 00:32:03,269 very excited about something I'm 785 00:32:11,180 --> 00:32:07,169 interested in then you know makes it a 786 00:32:12,950 --> 00:32:11,190 good thing in my school because me I put 787 00:32:15,500 --> 00:32:12,960 over a sense of excitement and interest 788 00:32:17,450 --> 00:32:15,510 in whatever it is that I'm doing so the 789 00:32:18,259 --> 00:32:17,460 key to pick up on that well look well I 790 00:32:21,379 --> 00:32:18,269 think we're gonna talk to you again 791 00:32:25,340 --> 00:32:21,389 because you got lots of stories yeah 792 00:32:26,990 --> 00:32:25,350 okay thank you well I've just learned a 793 00:32:29,210 --> 00:32:27,000 lot of things I didn't know we've got 794 00:32:31,279 --> 00:32:29,220 someone here who has been at University 795 00:32:33,080 --> 00:32:31,289 for longer than the day I was there we 796 00:32:36,139 --> 00:32:33,090 have someone who has slippered frogs and 797 00:32:37,820 --> 00:32:36,149 has been tripping balls from frogs dr. 798 00:32:39,320 --> 00:32:37,830 jody royal ever got the name correct 799 00:32:41,149 --> 00:32:39,330 borrelli yeah I don't have that 800 00:32:42,799 --> 00:32:41,159 introduction before though that's a good 801 00:32:43,909 --> 00:32:42,809 one but those things are true you have 802 00:32:45,139 --> 00:32:43,919 like you've had well there's such a 803 00:32:47,509 --> 00:32:45,149 great frog I got to keep it here my 804 00:32:49,100 --> 00:32:47,519 sleeping bag I have I didn't want to 805 00:32:50,090 --> 00:32:49,110 lose it so I had to sort of keep it in 806 00:32:51,379 --> 00:32:50,100 the sleeping bag next to me in the 807 00:32:52,940 --> 00:32:51,389 plastic bag to make sure it didn't get 808 00:32:54,420 --> 00:32:52,950 away that's great as I which is much 809 00:32:56,980 --> 00:32:54,430 better than kissing a frog as you 810 00:32:58,930 --> 00:32:56,990 well I'm happy to do both frogs are 811 00:33:00,550 --> 00:32:58,940 amazing what you've done by proxy now 812 00:33:02,080 --> 00:33:00,560 it's a story about you eating lollies 813 00:33:04,030 --> 00:33:02,090 and tripping and having audio 814 00:33:06,220 --> 00:33:04,040 hallucinations cuz that's somewhere I 815 00:33:08,440 --> 00:33:06,230 want to go well that was back in the day 816 00:33:11,050 --> 00:33:08,450 and I definitely don't recommend it we 817 00:33:13,000 --> 00:33:11,060 were measuring a bunch of frogs and I 818 00:33:15,100 --> 00:33:13,010 was also eating Molly's at the same time 819 00:33:17,230 --> 00:33:15,110 and then it was audible that would not 820 00:33:18,370 --> 00:33:17,240 been a good thing to do but two or three 821 00:33:19,930 --> 00:33:18,380 o'clock in the morning you've got to 822 00:33:23,020 --> 00:33:19,940 have something to keep you awake until i 823 00:33:24,430 --> 00:33:23,030 was eating sugar and and then for about 824 00:33:27,340 --> 00:33:24,440 another 10 hours later I could hear 825 00:33:29,320 --> 00:33:27,350 frogs everywhere so i'm i'm not sure but 826 00:33:32,200 --> 00:33:29,330 like there was just frogs calling 827 00:33:33,850 --> 00:33:32,210 everywhere and one of my friends later 828 00:33:35,350 --> 00:33:33,860 told me that apparently auditory 829 00:33:37,930 --> 00:33:35,360 hallucinations are more common than 830 00:33:40,000 --> 00:33:37,940 visual like i don't know about this and 831 00:33:41,920 --> 00:33:40,010 yes because people are you know suppose 832 00:33:43,660 --> 00:33:41,930 lick toes and have all sorts of trip and 833 00:33:45,040 --> 00:33:43,670 the reason that you would have a weird 834 00:33:46,480 --> 00:33:45,050 reaction from licking a toad is not 835 00:33:48,250 --> 00:33:46,490 necessarily because of a hallucinogenic 836 00:33:50,440 --> 00:33:48,260 property but because of anything can 837 00:33:51,640 --> 00:33:50,450 live on them as it right I'd say it's 838 00:33:53,440 --> 00:33:51,650 much more likely to do with the things 839 00:33:55,990 --> 00:33:53,450 they're secreting from their skin so 840 00:33:57,070 --> 00:33:56,000 frogs are basically agar plates and and 841 00:33:58,180 --> 00:33:57,080 they're these sort of wet things that 842 00:34:00,010 --> 00:33:58,190 hop around the ground that should be 843 00:34:02,740 --> 00:34:00,020 infected by everything but they have all 844 00:34:04,420 --> 00:34:02,750 these amazing chemicals peptides things 845 00:34:06,940 --> 00:34:04,430 on their skin to stop them from getting 846 00:34:08,650 --> 00:34:06,950 infected so they have sunscreens they 847 00:34:11,290 --> 00:34:08,660 have antibacterials they have things are 848 00:34:13,750 --> 00:34:11,300 being looked in for HIV cancer research 849 00:34:15,669 --> 00:34:13,760 they're amazing um and so some of these 850 00:34:18,520 --> 00:34:15,679 things may also have potentially 851 00:34:20,890 --> 00:34:18,530 hallucinogenic effects Wow look and JD 852 00:34:22,090 --> 00:34:20,900 one thing I got I wonder what excited 853 00:34:23,770 --> 00:34:22,100 you about frogs you been to Vietnam 854 00:34:25,419 --> 00:34:23,780 you've been to Asia really interested in 855 00:34:28,090 --> 00:34:25,429 frog conservation and amphibian 856 00:34:30,520 --> 00:34:28,100 conservation why amphibians I mean the 857 00:34:32,080 --> 00:34:30,530 honey badgers pretty exciting the honey 858 00:34:34,330 --> 00:34:32,090 badger is maybe if I got into the honey 859 00:34:36,250 --> 00:34:34,340 badger before the frogs but I guess it 860 00:34:38,770 --> 00:34:36,260 was a combination of things eyeballs and 861 00:34:41,440 --> 00:34:38,780 toe pads like frogs amphibians they're 862 00:34:43,600 --> 00:34:41,450 just amazing first off and secondly 863 00:34:45,820 --> 00:34:43,610 they're in so much trouble so they're 864 00:34:47,530 --> 00:34:45,830 these amazing creatures that basically 865 00:34:49,000 --> 00:34:47,540 can't do anyone anyone harm they don't 866 00:34:51,220 --> 00:34:49,010 bite they don't do anything and they're 867 00:34:53,020 --> 00:34:51,230 literally you know becoming extinct in 868 00:34:54,610 --> 00:34:53,030 front of our eyes so one third of all 869 00:34:58,780 --> 00:34:54,620 and phibian certain of the extinction 870 00:35:01,930 --> 00:34:58,790 it's terrifying and so I decided I guess 871 00:35:04,450 --> 00:35:01,940 to dedicate my life my research to try 872 00:35:05,860 --> 00:35:04,460 and promote their conservation try and 873 00:35:08,150 --> 00:35:05,870 find as much information about them as 874 00:35:09,950 --> 00:35:08,160 possible discover the amazing new speed 875 00:35:11,660 --> 00:35:09,960 cease and just amazing species of 876 00:35:13,430 --> 00:35:11,670 amphibian out there tell other people 877 00:35:15,440 --> 00:35:13,440 how often they are and then try and work 878 00:35:17,000 --> 00:35:15,450 towards their conservation and skeptics 879 00:35:19,039 --> 00:35:17,010 earn listeners she's not mucking about 880 00:35:21,500 --> 00:35:19,049 how many species have you discovered 881 00:35:23,299 --> 00:35:21,510 personally so far I've described or 882 00:35:25,420 --> 00:35:23,309 discovered and described 14 new species 883 00:35:28,400 --> 00:35:25,430 of frog most of them from Vietnam 884 00:35:30,380 --> 00:35:28,410 amongst them the vampire flying frog hey 885 00:35:32,390 --> 00:35:30,390 and what did you do today listener hey I 886 00:35:34,279 --> 00:35:32,400 think I've had a vampire flying frog I'm 887 00:35:36,799 --> 00:35:34,289 thinking two things big teeth blood 888 00:35:39,710 --> 00:35:36,809 sucking and just going like all hell 889 00:35:42,740 --> 00:35:39,720 through the air ah turn that down a 890 00:35:45,680 --> 00:35:42,750 little bit a break for you well a brick 891 00:35:47,660 --> 00:35:45,690 red frog with big hands and webbing on 892 00:35:49,579 --> 00:35:47,670 the hands and feet that it uses to glide 893 00:35:51,950 --> 00:35:49,589 from the tree so it's adapted for life 894 00:35:53,510 --> 00:35:51,960 in the trees about five centimeters big 895 00:35:55,789 --> 00:35:53,520 sit comfortably on the palm of your hand 896 00:35:58,190 --> 00:35:55,799 totally friendly no problems there but 897 00:36:00,799 --> 00:35:58,200 the tadpoles which are found in really 898 00:36:03,140 --> 00:36:00,809 small holes in trees that are filled 899 00:36:06,140 --> 00:36:03,150 with water have curved black fangs 900 00:36:08,870 --> 00:36:06,150 sticking out of their mouths okay why 901 00:36:10,940 --> 00:36:08,880 you said you said you sent the photos of 902 00:36:13,069 --> 00:36:10,950 these tadpoles to a tadpole expert one 903 00:36:16,099 --> 00:36:13,079 of only two in the world and he replied 904 00:36:17,510 --> 00:36:16,109 to you in all caps now 76 year old guys 905 00:36:19,190 --> 00:36:17,520 can do that just by leaning on the wrong 906 00:36:21,799 --> 00:36:19,200 key sometimes but he was really excited 907 00:36:23,420 --> 00:36:21,809 that's great he was really excited and 908 00:36:26,710 --> 00:36:23,430 together we published a paper it was 909 00:36:29,660 --> 00:36:26,720 with a strangest tadpole in the world so 910 00:36:31,279 --> 00:36:29,670 the reason it's not for blood sucking 911 00:36:32,809 --> 00:36:31,289 which makes a much cooler story I've got 912 00:36:34,880 --> 00:36:32,819 to admit but it actually makes frogs way 913 00:36:36,500 --> 00:36:34,890 more friendly so there's no food in the 914 00:36:38,390 --> 00:36:36,510 tree holes that the tadpoles live in 915 00:36:41,000 --> 00:36:38,400 there's packed full of tadpoles nothing 916 00:36:43,660 --> 00:36:41,010 to eat the mother vampire flying frog 917 00:36:45,950 --> 00:36:43,670 comes back and feeds her babies 918 00:36:47,299 --> 00:36:45,960 unfertilized eggs and they're really 919 00:36:49,010 --> 00:36:47,309 hard to get hold off if you've got a 920 00:36:51,950 --> 00:36:49,020 silly little bit cloak mouth but most 921 00:36:54,440 --> 00:36:51,960 had poles have so the tadpoles have over 922 00:36:56,750 --> 00:36:54,450 time developed fangs to hook the egg and 923 00:36:59,900 --> 00:36:56,760 suck it down their big mouth and so that 924 00:37:01,460 --> 00:36:59,910 the mums feeding a babies let's talk 925 00:37:03,289 --> 00:37:01,470 evolution here this is where we get our 926 00:37:05,089 --> 00:37:03,299 chance to bag on Europe Europe 927 00:37:06,410 --> 00:37:05,099 apparently has crap frogs Southeast 928 00:37:08,599 --> 00:37:06,420 Asia's where it's at not too much 929 00:37:10,099 --> 00:37:08,609 Australia but Southeast Asia just wipes 930 00:37:12,740 --> 00:37:10,109 the floor with European frogs because 931 00:37:14,809 --> 00:37:12,750 they're rubbish I wouldn't go so far 932 00:37:18,220 --> 00:37:14,819 from you you you inferred that in your 933 00:37:20,200 --> 00:37:18,230 lecture you said European stuffs rubbish 934 00:37:22,750 --> 00:37:20,210 I think you're putting words into my 935 00:37:24,760 --> 00:37:22,760 mouth I did I did show you the frog from 936 00:37:26,440 --> 00:37:24,770 Europe that carries its eggs around on 937 00:37:29,170 --> 00:37:26,450 its back that is I thought ordinary I 938 00:37:32,140 --> 00:37:29,180 booed that frog midwife oh it's pretty 939 00:37:33,520 --> 00:37:32,150 cool it's okay but color-wise actually 940 00:37:36,220 --> 00:37:33,530 Central America is probably where the 941 00:37:38,470 --> 00:37:36,230 colors at I love Southeast Asian throats 942 00:37:40,540 --> 00:37:38,480 but Central America has these frogs that 943 00:37:42,550 --> 00:37:40,550 hop around during the day no poison dart 944 00:37:44,650 --> 00:37:42,560 frogs that are red and blue and Koreans 945 00:37:46,450 --> 00:37:44,660 stripy and it's insane to me even 946 00:37:49,240 --> 00:37:46,460 without humans why don't birds eat them 947 00:37:50,560 --> 00:37:49,250 because seed them well that's the point 948 00:37:51,820 --> 00:37:50,570 the only ones that hop around in the day 949 00:37:53,140 --> 00:37:51,830 and a brightly colored it because 950 00:37:56,200 --> 00:37:53,150 they're actually poisonous so they you 951 00:37:57,670 --> 00:37:56,210 don't care the frogs are advertising 952 00:37:59,800 --> 00:37:57,680 that they poisonous by their bright 953 00:38:02,380 --> 00:37:59,810 colors so they're like strutting around 954 00:38:04,090 --> 00:38:02,390 proud gun check me out definitely but 955 00:38:06,070 --> 00:38:04,100 there are some frogs that see that and 956 00:38:07,390 --> 00:38:06,080 then evolution happens and and they 957 00:38:08,770 --> 00:38:07,400 actually start to look like and 958 00:38:10,840 --> 00:38:08,780 salamanders as well they look like 959 00:38:12,670 --> 00:38:10,850 they're poisonous counterparts and the 960 00:38:14,109 --> 00:38:12,680 Predators think oh look at you you're 961 00:38:15,970 --> 00:38:14,119 you know brightly colored as well I 962 00:38:17,920 --> 00:38:15,980 won't eat you but actually they're just 963 00:38:19,599 --> 00:38:17,930 mimicking the poisonous one and getting 964 00:38:21,460 --> 00:38:19,609 away with it without having to invest in 965 00:38:23,890 --> 00:38:21,470 all those chemicals in their skin that's 966 00:38:26,050 --> 00:38:23,900 so cool and so why are European frogs 967 00:38:28,300 --> 00:38:26,060 not as very doors as colorful just 968 00:38:31,540 --> 00:38:28,310 because the landscape often temperate 969 00:38:32,710 --> 00:38:31,550 areas so the the cooler flatter areas in 970 00:38:36,160 --> 00:38:32,720 particular don't have as much diversity 971 00:38:38,380 --> 00:38:36,170 the tropics is where in 15 diversity is 972 00:38:40,720 --> 00:38:38,390 is generally at and especially really 973 00:38:42,340 --> 00:38:40,730 topographically diverse areas so really 974 00:38:44,290 --> 00:38:42,350 mountainous areas like the areas in 975 00:38:45,940 --> 00:38:44,300 Vietnam that i work at you get the 976 00:38:47,320 --> 00:38:45,950 amphibians that are just adapted to the 977 00:38:49,030 --> 00:38:47,330 cool wet climates on the top of one 978 00:38:51,280 --> 00:38:49,040 mountain peak so they're essentially on 979 00:38:52,810 --> 00:38:51,290 Islands surrounded by habitat that they 980 00:38:54,250 --> 00:38:52,820 can't live in and these are the ones 981 00:38:56,500 --> 00:38:54,260 that also likely to be affected by 982 00:38:58,720 --> 00:38:56,510 climate change in a big way and did 983 00:39:00,250 --> 00:38:58,730 Australia not get a greater range of 984 00:39:01,810 --> 00:39:00,260 frogs because the land bridge was cut 985 00:39:03,490 --> 00:39:01,820 before the frogs come across is that the 986 00:39:05,109 --> 00:39:03,500 reason why we have got the range that's 987 00:39:07,359 --> 00:39:05,119 that's a lot to do with it yet so 988 00:39:08,800 --> 00:39:07,369 salamanders originated in diversified in 989 00:39:11,410 --> 00:39:08,810 the north and we didn't we didn't get 990 00:39:13,780 --> 00:39:11,420 them down we did get one true frog one 991 00:39:15,250 --> 00:39:13,790 European kind of frog or on it that came 992 00:39:17,380 --> 00:39:15,260 down to a land bridge from Papua New 993 00:39:19,510 --> 00:39:17,390 Guinea so we have one true frog in 994 00:39:21,640 --> 00:39:19,520 Australia but the other frogs we got 995 00:39:24,730 --> 00:39:21,650 here a long time ago and they adapted to 996 00:39:26,470 --> 00:39:24,740 amazing diversity like see nowhere else 997 00:39:28,390 --> 00:39:26,480 like tree frogs in Australia the high 998 00:39:30,220 --> 00:39:28,400 lids normally they're tree frogs in 999 00:39:31,150 --> 00:39:30,230 Australia their tree frogs their frogs 1000 00:39:33,220 --> 00:39:31,160 are very underground 1001 00:39:35,080 --> 00:39:33,230 for years they just their ground frogs 1002 00:39:37,180 --> 00:39:35,090 they've just adapted to everything look 1003 00:39:39,460 --> 00:39:37,190 I bet let's give a shout out to the 1004 00:39:41,260 --> 00:39:39,470 frogs of ash island near Newcastle we've 1005 00:39:42,550 --> 00:39:41,270 got the golden frog of a Shaolin do you 1006 00:39:44,770 --> 00:39:42,560 know that one at all the green and 1007 00:39:46,630 --> 00:39:44,780 golden bell frogs yeah that'd be it i do 1008 00:39:48,610 --> 00:39:46,640 that's a rather famous frog in australia 1009 00:39:50,530 --> 00:39:48,620 especially sydney ya know is it very 1010 00:39:52,270 --> 00:39:50,540 endangered that one it is endangered 1011 00:39:55,240 --> 00:39:52,280 it's a funny frog because it actually 1012 00:39:57,940 --> 00:39:55,250 should be a weed it really likes like 1013 00:39:59,590 --> 00:39:57,950 newly established paste places polluted 1014 00:40:01,690 --> 00:39:59,600 sort of ponds that are really ephemeral 1015 00:40:03,220 --> 00:40:01,700 oily temporary and it can move like one 1016 00:40:04,390 --> 00:40:03,230 or two kilometres in a night so by all 1017 00:40:06,520 --> 00:40:04,400 accounts you think this prob would be 1018 00:40:08,020 --> 00:40:06,530 everywhere but unfortunately it's not 1019 00:40:09,460 --> 00:40:08,030 it's declined from at least in a ninety 1020 00:40:11,620 --> 00:40:09,470 percent of the places that used to occur 1021 00:40:13,510 --> 00:40:11,630 and the famous place it was was homebush 1022 00:40:15,310 --> 00:40:13,520 and it loves loves the brick pit it 1023 00:40:17,380 --> 00:40:15,320 loves these really weird places that no 1024 00:40:20,050 --> 00:40:17,390 other frogs would but a problem is a lot 1025 00:40:21,970 --> 00:40:20,060 of the frog places that we now build a 1026 00:40:23,470 --> 00:40:21,980 lot of the permanent permanent water 1027 00:40:25,450 --> 00:40:23,480 bodies they don't like permanent water 1028 00:40:27,070 --> 00:40:25,460 bodies so actually when people build 1029 00:40:28,870 --> 00:40:27,080 frog pond in their backyard they're 1030 00:40:31,810 --> 00:40:28,880 building habitats for only certain kinds 1031 00:40:33,640 --> 00:40:31,820 of frogs like the stripe marsh frog or 1032 00:40:35,260 --> 00:40:33,650 things like that so we're actually not 1033 00:40:36,820 --> 00:40:35,270 creating habitat for all of the frogs 1034 00:40:37,780 --> 00:40:36,830 that do live in the area this is 1035 00:40:39,400 --> 00:40:37,790 something you mentioned in your very 1036 00:40:41,500 --> 00:40:39,410 interesting talk you said that we seem 1037 00:40:43,840 --> 00:40:41,510 to love certain and we want to protect 1038 00:40:45,160 --> 00:40:43,850 certain kinds of charismatic frog now 1039 00:40:46,780 --> 00:40:45,170 what would that be would that be ones 1040 00:40:48,850 --> 00:40:46,790 that are only colorful or make a great 1041 00:40:51,400 --> 00:40:48,860 noise is that why we as humans we only 1042 00:40:53,380 --> 00:40:51,410 like that kind of frog yeah I think I 1043 00:40:55,060 --> 00:40:53,390 think unusual unlike the gastric 1044 00:40:57,880 --> 00:40:55,070 brooding frog and the babies and it's 1045 00:40:59,890 --> 00:40:57,890 stomach that's pretty amazing um yeah 1046 00:41:01,540 --> 00:40:59,900 the beautiful things tend to get the the 1047 00:41:03,160 --> 00:41:01,550 rewards a little brown frogs a lot of 1048 00:41:04,720 --> 00:41:03,170 the things that I study a leaflet of 1049 00:41:06,100 --> 00:41:04,730 frogs and there you know about two 1050 00:41:07,030 --> 00:41:06,110 centimeters big they're brown they're 1051 00:41:09,400 --> 00:41:07,040 kind of all looked the same and they 1052 00:41:10,930 --> 00:41:09,410 sound like insects most probably we're 1053 00:41:12,760 --> 00:41:10,940 not going to put a lot of money into the 1054 00:41:15,940 --> 00:41:12,770 conservation of those frogs as much as I 1055 00:41:18,510 --> 00:41:15,950 might love them but for amazing flying 1056 00:41:21,400 --> 00:41:18,520 frogs beautiful tree frogs salamanders 1057 00:41:23,380 --> 00:41:21,410 hopefully you know we would put the 1058 00:41:24,970 --> 00:41:23,390 effort in for them at least although 1059 00:41:26,620 --> 00:41:24,980 often they're also under threat from the 1060 00:41:28,450 --> 00:41:26,630 pet trade because they are so beautiful 1061 00:41:29,710 --> 00:41:28,460 I'm a huge fan of the axolotl the 1062 00:41:31,270 --> 00:41:29,720 Mexican walking fish does it actually 1063 00:41:33,520 --> 00:41:31,280 count or because it's sort of in between 1064 00:41:35,500 --> 00:41:33,530 it's not a really I'm phibian it is an 1065 00:41:37,540 --> 00:41:35,510 amphibian it's a salamander but it's 1066 00:41:40,240 --> 00:41:37,550 actually a Peter morphix salamander 1067 00:41:42,340 --> 00:41:40,250 which means it stays in its larval stage 1068 00:41:44,300 --> 00:41:42,350 and still breeds like it's a weird thing 1069 00:41:45,230 --> 00:41:44,310 it's basically a tadpole that breeds 1070 00:41:47,150 --> 00:41:45,240 but you know what's interesting about 1071 00:41:49,190 --> 00:41:47,160 that as common is it isn't a pet trade 1072 00:41:51,650 --> 00:41:49,200 it's actually almost extinct in its 1073 00:41:52,910 --> 00:41:51,660 native habitat in Mexico because people 1074 00:41:54,800 --> 00:41:52,920 have lifted it from there or the 1075 00:41:56,450 --> 00:41:54,810 habitats been stuffed up it's basically 1076 00:41:59,240 --> 00:41:56,460 in Mexico City so the habitat is is 1077 00:42:00,590 --> 00:41:59,250 pretty much pretty much gone and so what 1078 00:42:02,900 --> 00:42:00,600 we have is this weird kind of captive 1079 00:42:04,400 --> 00:42:02,910 animal that's you know but it's bred to 1080 00:42:06,140 --> 00:42:04,410 be in captivity but the actual native 1081 00:42:08,630 --> 00:42:06,150 animal is in a heck of a lot of trouble 1082 00:42:10,700 --> 00:42:08,640 yeah um you've actually eaten frog too 1083 00:42:12,380 --> 00:42:10,710 because you you get pretty hungry and 1084 00:42:13,490 --> 00:42:12,390 what's it taste like and I guess you 1085 00:42:15,710 --> 00:42:13,500 wouldn't recommend we all do this 1086 00:42:17,860 --> 00:42:15,720 because a cane toad you don't eat them 1087 00:42:21,830 --> 00:42:17,870 you're really picking parts of the talk 1088 00:42:25,040 --> 00:42:21,840 yes yes I I have a full the confirmation 1089 00:42:26,570 --> 00:42:25,050 bias I think yes i have i was a 1090 00:42:28,370 --> 00:42:26,580 vegetarian when i first moved to asia 1091 00:42:30,500 --> 00:42:28,380 and that didn't last too long out of 1092 00:42:32,350 --> 00:42:30,510 almost have asian in the forest i have 1093 00:42:34,340 --> 00:42:32,360 eaten frog it tastes like chicken 1094 00:42:35,570 --> 00:42:34,350 probably I mean that's what everyone 1095 00:42:37,430 --> 00:42:35,580 says everything pretty much taste like 1096 00:42:38,990 --> 00:42:37,440 that's not the normal kind of animal 1097 00:42:41,330 --> 00:42:39,000 that we eat but it's a really important 1098 00:42:42,500 --> 00:42:41,340 source of protein for a lot of southeast 1099 00:42:44,270 --> 00:42:42,510 asian a lot of countries around the 1100 00:42:45,980 --> 00:42:44,280 world and in a lot of places it's quite 1101 00:42:47,840 --> 00:42:45,990 sustainable because frogs can braid into 1102 00:42:50,180 --> 00:42:47,850 large numbers so rice paddy frogs and 1103 00:42:52,310 --> 00:42:50,190 things but it becomes too wet where 1104 00:42:53,510 --> 00:42:52,320 they're being harvested from patches of 1105 00:42:55,130 --> 00:42:53,520 forests and things that we start 1106 00:42:56,360 --> 00:42:55,140 worrying about whether the frogs are 1107 00:42:58,370 --> 00:42:56,370 only a small area are really being 1108 00:42:59,720 --> 00:42:58,380 affected because you were talking about 1109 00:43:01,610 --> 00:42:59,730 conservation if we were interested in 1110 00:43:02,810 --> 00:43:01,620 conservation of amphibians in Australia 1111 00:43:04,010 --> 00:43:02,820 and elsewhere in the world where should 1112 00:43:06,980 --> 00:43:04,020 we go to have a look and learn about 1113 00:43:08,570 --> 00:43:06,990 this and maybe get up some cash well of 1114 00:43:11,290 --> 00:43:08,580 course I'm biased so I would say the 1115 00:43:13,460 --> 00:43:11,300 Australian Museum Research Institute oh 1116 00:43:15,620 --> 00:43:13,470 yeah my mother was the what's a web 1117 00:43:17,030 --> 00:43:15,630 address for that oh I've had a personal 1118 00:43:18,740 --> 00:43:17,040 website dress but you can just Google 1119 00:43:22,280 --> 00:43:18,750 and Phoebe ins and the Australian Museum 1120 00:43:23,900 --> 00:43:22,290 or you can google me Jody Rowley and 1121 00:43:25,610 --> 00:43:23,910 you'll find my website and you can see 1122 00:43:29,090 --> 00:43:25,620 lots of cool photos of frogs and where 1123 00:43:31,190 --> 00:43:29,100 are you off to next Vietnam of course ok 1124 00:43:32,930 --> 00:43:31,200 you said that look I had no sorry this 1125 00:43:35,120 --> 00:43:32,940 is things in your talk I really picked 1126 00:43:36,980 --> 00:43:35,130 up on canopy frogs now these are frogs 1127 00:43:38,630 --> 00:43:36,990 that live what 40 feet in the air for 1128 00:43:40,100 --> 00:43:38,640 all of their life how're we ever going 1129 00:43:42,620 --> 00:43:40,110 to find them because you won't go up 1130 00:43:44,600 --> 00:43:42,630 there and I don't blame you usually oh 1131 00:43:45,860 --> 00:43:44,610 well actually this is not entirely true 1132 00:43:47,420 --> 00:43:45,870 i'm not sure but i was gonna say that 1133 00:43:48,950 --> 00:43:47,430 most frogs would have to come to the 1134 00:43:51,950 --> 00:43:48,960 ground at some stage but then not be 1135 00:43:53,780 --> 00:43:51,960 true um we wouldn't know the thing is if 1136 00:43:55,040 --> 00:43:53,790 they're calling we might get really 1137 00:43:56,740 --> 00:43:55,050 creative and we might get up there and 1138 00:43:58,870 --> 00:43:56,750 actually i've had local guys work 1139 00:44:00,970 --> 00:43:58,880 with me in the area that have gone 1140 00:44:03,010 --> 00:44:00,980 climbing up trees looking for things I'm 1141 00:44:04,090 --> 00:44:03,020 a wuss when it comes to Heights I'm not 1142 00:44:06,760 --> 00:44:04,100 the person that you would traditionally 1143 00:44:08,980 --> 00:44:06,770 think of climbing mountains in Vietnam I 1144 00:44:10,960 --> 00:44:08,990 have some really amazing students and 1145 00:44:12,520 --> 00:44:10,970 colleagues that will tell me which way 1146 00:44:16,180 --> 00:44:12,530 to walk when we're scaling waterfalls 1147 00:44:17,650 --> 00:44:16,190 and I start freaking out your only child 1148 00:44:18,910 --> 00:44:17,660 and your mum would be a bit upset if she 1149 00:44:21,970 --> 00:44:18,920 knew what you were doing in those 1150 00:44:23,650 --> 00:44:21,980 rainforest tie up but she never said not 1151 00:44:25,390 --> 00:44:23,660 to go and that's why i named a frog 1152 00:44:28,000 --> 00:44:25,400 after her she did not want her only 1153 00:44:29,980 --> 00:44:28,010 child moving to Cambodia and working for 1154 00:44:33,640 --> 00:44:29,990 months in remote areas with you know 1155 00:44:35,920 --> 00:44:33,650 like 14 guys in the forest but um she 1156 00:44:38,020 --> 00:44:35,930 supported me I didn't found frogs and it 1157 00:44:40,120 --> 00:44:38,030 helped out water I've got my daughter 1158 00:44:42,010 --> 00:44:40,130 named a fraud after me what's your son 1159 00:44:43,600 --> 00:44:42,020 done he's a lawyer yeah some people 1160 00:44:45,610 --> 00:44:43,610 might take offense at having a frog 1161 00:44:47,110 --> 00:44:45,620 named often but not my mum she's got the 1162 00:44:48,760 --> 00:44:47,120 Helens flying frog in the back of a 1163 00:44:51,400 --> 00:44:48,770 phone we were in the local paper when it 1164 00:44:54,520 --> 00:44:51,410 was described that's the pinnacle of mum 1165 00:44:56,020 --> 00:44:54,530 hood right so look get a look at the 1166 00:44:57,760 --> 00:44:56,030 museum and look because you do have some 1167 00:44:59,800 --> 00:44:57,770 wonderful photos of frogs and what is 1168 00:45:01,660 --> 00:44:59,810 the best looking frog I know it's a 1169 00:45:05,920 --> 00:45:01,670 tough question you have to say your mum 1170 00:45:07,600 --> 00:45:05,930 strong but you know I'd say some of the 1171 00:45:09,610 --> 00:45:07,610 tiny little green frogs which don't have 1172 00:45:13,200 --> 00:45:09,620 common names there in the genus Chris 1173 00:45:16,270 --> 00:45:13,210 cyclists from Southeast Asia which have 1174 00:45:18,250 --> 00:45:16,280 transparent skin turquoise bone and one 1175 00:45:19,480 --> 00:45:18,260 ream blood they're amazing and the 1176 00:45:21,730 --> 00:45:19,490 Bloods green because they have more cop 1177 00:45:25,120 --> 00:45:21,740 in the Nile haha it's called delivered 1178 00:45:27,370 --> 00:45:25,130 and it's a bile pigment I think I'm not 1179 00:45:28,780 --> 00:45:27,380 entirely sure why that some animals have 1180 00:45:30,400 --> 00:45:28,790 this there are a few lizards and things 1181 00:45:32,350 --> 00:45:30,410 like that but it's it's pretty bizarre 1182 00:45:34,270 --> 00:45:32,360 to have green blood thank you for a 1183 00:45:36,490 --> 00:45:34,280 fascinating
