PAT: And she told Barbara, "There's something you need to know about this baby.". Move on to the next cage yes, no? Is that a genetic hatred of whistling that I just had? The show in in the radiolab eye sky transcript of was interested in his life In And bring the eye Amount of long-distance Runners and they had a Radiolab podcast about it and they. [laughs]. CARL ZIMMER: Around 1908, he started publishing all of these results. PAT: Filled with dozens of letters from women that she's paid. I mean, he hates water. OLOV BYGREN: Looking for patterns in cardiovascular diseases, high blood pressure, and such. It says, "Race of Supermen." Filled with dozens of letters from women that she's paid. A little village? PAT: And as soon as she got there to pick him up, she could tell that something was wrong. They decided to explore this question. Okay, and then I just had to accept it. The reason they're more aroused is that the mom's licking activates the release of adrenaline and noradrenaline in the pup. Plus, find other cool things we did in the past like miniseries, music videos, short films and animations, behind-the-scenes features, Radiolab live shows, and more. That doesn't matter. Here's what Olov says he found in the data. This was a really radical place at the time because you have to remember that people studying animals up till now, they were basically studying preserved specimens, and so on. We spay them. FRANCES CHAMPAGNE: Putting this into context, you know, you have a rat mom and they have about 16 to 20 babies. PAT: And all over the political spectrum, from Hollywood lefties to social conservatives. We ask deep questions and use investigative journalism to get the answers. BARBARA HARRIS: "I want to thank you for your support and kindness as always." ], [ARCHIVAL Clip, Daytime Talkshow: I'd like everybody to meet, please, Barbara Harris. Then she goes, "Oh wait, I didn't give birth to you. And all over the political spectrum, from Hollywood lefties to social conservatives. Mamaw was the one I'd come to see. PAT: I asked Barbara about some of the things that she'd said because, to be totally honest, they kind of turn my stomach. DESTINY HARRIS: Yes. Because we had already had to upgrade from a car to a van, from a condo to a home. Kammerer thought, "Wow.". ROBERT: You cant say that. I think the Swedish data are really, really strong, and very reliable. PAT: Yeah. Radiolab 50.3K subscribers Subscribe 29 1.5K views 6 months ago On this episode, the case that pushed one Supreme Court justice to a nervous breakdown, brought a boiling feud to a head, and. So that was just funny to me. That kind of 30 years? JAD: [expletive] That was awesome. We ask deep questions and use investigative journalism to get the answers. JAD: So its like grandpa's struggle is jumping forward and giving me a leg up? I know! Birth mother's name was actually the same as me, so, Barbara. JAD: Yes. JAD: In just two generations, these toads seem to have done something that should have taken, I don't know, 50, 100 generations? ROBERT: They won't grow much on the outside, but on the inside OLOV BYGREN: That is the time where the sperms are developing. In this episode, originally aired in 2012, we put nature and nurture on a collision course and discover how outside forces can find a way inside us, and change not just our hearts and minds, but the basic biological blueprint that we pass on to future generations. LYNN PALTROW: Tell me what your image of a drug-using pregnant woman is. Were there any consequences? LULU: So far. He thought that because theyre swinging hammers all day, they got big bulky muscles, and then theyd pass the muscles to their children. PAT: And I just felt like it was in one of those moments that contains everything that's good about us as people. SAM KEAN: In a little community called verkalix. JAD: Yeah, like you can help them overcome you. TRANSCRIPTS. A lot of times that's not the case. When Emil gets to be eight, I'm cutting him off. And since Kammerer kept the heat up, toads basically had to stay there, in this watery place that they had not evolved for. JAD: In any case, these books tell you when each of these folks died, how they died. JAD: That's what good rat mothers do, they lick their babies a lot. I mean, for one thing, Barbara's white and Destiny's black. Also, thanks to Carl Zimmer whose latest is Evolution: Making Sense of Life. And then that baby would stretch and stretch, and it would give a little more stretching to its baby. I could have turned out like some of the other kids. So, somehow, by some chemical mechanism, starving grandpa, back when he was about 9 to 12 years old, turned out to be a good thing. PAT: And by this point, she's 37 years old. Kammerer thought, "Wow. I ended up finding myself really conflicted about it. And so, her name is Kalia. It goes back to the 1800s. Once a kid is born, their genetic fate is pretty much sealed. Listen Feb 3, 2023 Ukraine: The Handoff Pregnancy, and choice, in a war. I have to be creative.". He thought that because theyre swinging hammers all day, they got big bulky muscles, and then theyd pass the muscles to their children. This assignment is from the free science education website Science Prof Online(ScienceProfOnline.com). ROBERT: And those lucky ones, according to Darwin's theory, they would have had to have been born with some random mutation in their genes SAM KEAN: That gave them an advantage in this situation. He was mighty skeptical. You can't see that on the radio but, hey, it's a fact of life. ROBERT: So, of course the folks at the Vivarium asked him. And he said, "Barbara, I'm not buying a school bus." And so, you could only see one nuptial pad, and it all comes down to thisand all of that was just about to fall apart. Yeah. What do you mean? Meet Jeremiah! MICHAEL MEANEY: Yes. SAM KEAN: Well, he thought it might have been an assistant trying to frame him because he was Jewish. JAD: We all know this, that there are cycles of abuse or whatever. LULU: In a very real way, we've been thinking a lot about inheritance. He actually coined the word biology, too. More brain cells? And thats wrong [laughs].Thats not how it works. LYNN PALTROW: The fact that you're motivated by a really beautiful, important value, that we want healthy kids, doesn't mean the mechanism you're using is going to end up helping those kids. But I take it that we have more control over our destinies and our kids' destinies than we would've thought. LULU: Did you know there is a part of this show is gonna be like crazy breaking news, like happened yesterday and we already have a deep take on it? With a child, they give you a whole folder full of information, tells you all about them. BARBARA HARRIS: Yes, she has the same name as me. And The other day someone was whistling and I was like, "Stop it", and it just hit me, I was like, "Oh God, I was him", it's never appeared until now. He stuffed himself silly; 9, 10, 11 years old, so he's a happy grandpa, you the grandson, you then would have. And at a time when you're not making the best decisions anyway. ROBERT: Which, when you think about it, it has a very Lamarckian flavor. It goes back to the 1800s. SAM KEAN: But this was a really, really tough place to grow up. And um Doctors would later explain to Barbara that Destiny's mom had been addicted to drugs while she was pregnant. And, I mean, I have straight A's and I'm making it work. You are not God. CARL ZIMMER: To build these terrariums and aquariums and stock them with animals. FRANCES CHAMPAGNE: Yes, yes. JAD: Well, if a mother a rat mother licking her baby can have such a profound effect, basically change the expression of the genes in the baby, well that's hopeful. You can do this. FRANCES CHAMPAGNE: I think that's where Lamarck's ideas can be woven in and make some sense. PAT: Barbara has this drawer in her desk. So. And then they're going to basically revel at that particular spot and turn on that gene. Well think about it, this is nature and nurture slamming into each other. If you have a starving daddy, it turns out that the baby actually gets some sort of health benefit. PEJK MALINOVSKI: It's not very politically correct, huh? Okay, so lets get going and stick with your boy, Lamarck, just for a sec. I didn't see them as people. CARL ZIMMER: Well, it was a zoo where there was all sorts of experiments going on. What you see in the records, is that one year 100 liters. [ARCHIVAL CLIP, Jad Abumrad: Do you see the owl?]. Radiolab is a radio program broadcast on public radio stations in the United States, and a podcast available internationally, both produced by WNYC.Hosted by Latif Nasser and Lulu Miller, each episode focuses on a topic of a scientific and philosophical nature, through stories, interviews, and thought experiments.. Radiolab's broadcast edition airs as an hour-long program each week while the . You know, the fact is that taking care of animals, trying to keep them alive in a building is not an easy thing, especially if it's 1903. Is that what you're saying? Like, I mean, as far as positives can go, I think I hit the jackpot. ROBERT: They could eat twice, three times as much. And that could have very easily have been one of us. Jean Baptiste Lamarck was a pioneer in the . DESTINY HARRIS: My situation turned out positive. PAT: So by now it's 1994, and Barbara is thinking PAT: You know? PAT: You picked him up right from the hospital? You know, just take a little peek for themselves, and every time SAM KEAN: Kammerer said no, they were his specimens. In my naive mind, I didn't have a clue what a big deal this was. JAD: Serotonin gets into the brain cells, and according to Michael unleashes MICHAEL MEANEY: A whole series of molecular events inside the cell. But were getting ahead of ourselves here. These are women who love their children, who sought help. CARL ZIMMER: Well, there was an expert on reptiles named G. Kingsley Noble. JAD: No, not brain cells. I mean, it's pretty common but like, here's a for instance, my dad from my entire life had this thing where if someone was whistling, he would. According to Darwin, life and changes are ruled by chance. JAD: Look, in the end, what do I know? You dont really say it to yourself that way, but yeah. That's a lot of people. I'm graduating in December. That was it. SAM KEAN: And, you know, there was kind of antisemitism growing at this time, so he thought that someone had framed him, and six weeks after Nobel published his results in Nature, Kammerer sent a letter to Moscow. I have to be creative.". MICHAEL MEANEY: I think the Swedish data are really, really strong, and very reliable. SAM KEAN: Because theyre reaching for the tops of trees. BARBARA HARRIS: Barbara Harris. [laughs[ Exactly. Like Id be like, Weve got the keys, were gonna trash the house., LATIF: Anyway, we think about that all the time and I was just talking to Lulu about that and she was just like, You know, theres a radiolab about this.. Not been born at all. I said, "No, no, that's okay." So were getting close to the moment of truth, because there it is. Get personalized recommendations, and learn where to watch across hundreds of streaming providers. Methyl groups are pretty sticky, they're hard to get off. ROBERT: What do you mean? I'm graduating in December. A couple of days later, I had already bonded with her so much, it was as if I gave birth to her. You're obviously a great mom, but that feels cold to me. And were trying to think about how do we keep it the same in a lot of ways, but also how do we let it grow into something beyond what it was originally built to be. In any case, what they saw at the end of all this counting wasWell, first of all, what they saw was this pattern that rat pups who got licked a lot as babies, when they grew up, they licked their babies a lot and the rat pups who didn't get licked a lot, when they grew up, they didn't lick their babies. So yeah, she keeps me busy. As he's doing his rounds, he stops by the midwife toad terrarium, he looks down at that little male toad with grapes stuck to his legs and he wonders, "How adaptable is that little guy?" CHARLOTTE ZIMMER: Hi, my name is Charlotte Zimmer. That's the stuff that makes you you. JAD: And what about the four kids that weren't raised with Barbara? DESTINY HARRIS: Honestly, I think it never seemed like she was anything but my real mom, if that makes sense. PAT: Who gave Destiny her first checkup told Barbara BARBARA HARRIS: That she was delayed and she was always going to be delayed because of her prenatal neglect. Look, in the end, what do I know? OLOV BYGREN: The results are quite obvious. "She's born and tested positive for PCP crack and heroin." ], That's their choice, but the babies don't have a choice.]. Who are you? SAM KEAN: It does, it does make kind of a folk sense. And eventually, over the millenia, what youd get, is a creature with a very long neck. Okay, all right, this is interesting. PAT: So we did stop. JAD: You know, inside these cells, in the center, coiled up in little spools, is the DNA. And Barbara is not offering that. CARL ZIMMER: He's 22, 23, and he already had this reputation for being amazing at keeping animals alive, that otherwise would just die. SAM KEAN: Very easily. ROBERT: So what is the licking doing then? They have six, seven, eight, ten, fourteen.]. PAT: A year later, she gets another call. JAD: See, this is the story of science that doesn't get told. ROBERT: You mean, if you had a starving grandfather, you would be a healthier boy for the because you had a starving grandfather? On the one hand, she says, immediately, cheques started arriving. I know I've been joking a lot in this interview, but I mean it with all that I am. SAM KEAN: And when he examined it, he noticed that there was a syringe hole there. And I think that no, I didn't plan on it but I wouldn't take her back for anything because she made me better. Barbara Harris says she's convinced more than a dozen women], Have accepted her offer to be sterilized in return for money.]. So we did stop. We had an expression here, "Dig where you stand." You know, when smart people say, you know, "There's no such thing as nature and nurture it's only interaction of the two," You're like, "What the hell does that mean?" They like to hang out in the water and the females like to lay eggs in the water. It's just a mind crushing tedium. My name is Jean Kean. JAD: Most toads, he says, love to stay in the water. Yes, but creating an assumption that there is a class of people who don't deserve to procreate, who aren't worthy of procreating the human race, leads you down a path that we should have great concern about. Radio Lab: Into the Brain of a Liar March 6, 2008 We all lie once a day or so, according to most studies. SAM KEAN: He was known for going around and giving, what he called, his big show lectures, where he would wow whole audiences of people. SAM KEAN: What's happening during this time is that you're setting aside the stock of cells that you're going to draw on in the future to make sperm cells. CARL ZIMMER: mouse or rat? In pictures, he has that, you know, that crazy Einstein fuzzy hair thing. Actually, the idea itself is pretty old. But that you supposedly can't get to. Move on to the next cage yes, no? Sample Page; ; And he would basically turn the heat way, way up in these aquariums until they had to go underwater. BARBARA HARRIS: With a child, they give you a whole folder full of information, tells you all about them. But according to Kammerer, shortly after these toads got into the water, they did begin to evolve fast. He'd fall asleep and just wake up screaming. FRANCES CHAMPAGNE: You know, you've got all these chemicals around. And they had more. And in one day, we can imagine, he gets curious. JAD: Started with the tongue. According to Frances, it's not just sitting up there perfectly preserved, it's in the middle of the cell, it's crowded. He's the guy who told us about Olov's work. FRANCES CHAMPAGNE: You would be licking them quite a lot. This is from 2002. So here's what you're going to notice. JAD: These are four kids from the same birth mother? Just a little. ], You get them $200 each, which they can spend on crack. PAT: Even though Destiny's mom was doing all sorts of drugs during her pregnancy and the doctors told Barbara that Destiny was going to be mentally and physically delayed DESTINY HARRIS: Not feeling the way I'm supposed to feel. But wouldnt it be nice if thats how it worked? That's 9, 10, 11. LATIF: Still, still standing. So this whole debate, two totally different ways of seeing life. One time, and I'm on flighter. That's really impressive. That's against the rules. He's the guy who told us about Olov's work. That you're just renaming it. And Destiny says she doesn't really care DESTINY HARRIS: I got these genes from somewhere, but I kind of feel like she was a surrogate, like she carried me for my real mom. ], [ARCHIVAL CLIP, Jad Abumrad: How bout this one?]. To fellow named Jean-Baptiste Pierre Antoine de Monet, chevalier de Lamarck. SAM KEAN: Darwin's theory would have said, you know, 90% of the toads are going to die. My name is Veronica Zimmer. According to Frances, it's not just sitting up there perfectly preserved, it's in the middle of the cell, it's crowded. Full transcript: Radiolab co-host Jad Abumrad on Recode Media The new season of More Perfect, a spinoff show from Radiolab, began airing Oct. 2. New York Public Radio transcripts are created on a rush deadline, often by contractors. So some scientists began to ask Kammerer if they could look at his toads. Life is hard.". SAM KEAN: And these effects, in fact, were so strong that you could trace it to the grandfather. ], [ARCHIVAL Clip, News: To any drug-addicted woman who will agree to have no more babies. The critical part of this JAD: Is that all these changes wake up this little gang of proteins. He was known for going around and giving, what he called, his big show lectures, where he would wow whole audiences of people. Barbara Harris's solution is simpler than anything else out there. But if you've got a mom who licks you. Peanut butter, there we go.

What happens, it'll get stuck to one little part of the DNA and now that little bit of DNA And these things are called, apparently, methyl groups. OLOV BYGREN: The results are there. How old are your boys right now? He's not even eating at all. Thats just the cold logic of Darwinian evolution. PAT: She just knew, "This is my daughter.". PEJK MALINOVSKI: Okay, I'm here. When Kammerer published his results initially, a bunch of scientists immediately began to say CARL ZIMMER: "Wait a minute, hold on here, it would be nice if life was like that but life isn't like that. And well just let the old yahoos from whom we inheritedededed inherited it take it away. Radiolab is on YouTube! So FRANCES CHAMPAGNE: So we start looking at maternal care. His reputation was that he could get inside the mind of, say, a salamander and know just what it wanted to eat. JAD: So this whole debate, two totally different ways of seeing life.

ROBERT: Truth is, we dont know precisely how this happens but somehow the experience of starvation marks the DNA. [laughs] "This may hurt you my son, but I'm doing it for my grandchildren.". Full disclosure, she's Robert's sister's partner. [laughs[ So yeah, it's embarrassing, but I believe everything happens for a reason.
