How do you study unmapped areas of the ocean and identify critical habitat for an endangered species? You include the study animal in the scientific process! Researchers from the University of Adelaide fitted endangered Australian sea lions with cameras and tracking devices to better understand where they spent their time. The information could help scientists protect critical sea lion habitat and could give researchers a new tool for mapping the ocean.

The Daily Signal - ‘We Took the Life of Our First Daughter’: Redemption After Abortion
For years, Jeff and Tricia Bradford kept their abortion a secret from their friends and church community.
“We hid our story, because of the deep shame and regret that we had,” Jeff Bradford says.
The couple was engaged when Tricia, then 20, learned she was pregnant. "Fear didn't waste a second coming into that conversation and shame," she said. "And so, we just immediately thought, ‘What are we going to do?’"
The couple reached out to a family member and received some “terrible advice,” the husband says, adding that a few days later, he and his wife “ended up at Planned Parenthood, and we took the life of our first daughter, and we didn't talk about it for 17 years.”
Even being active members in their church, the couple says, they “sat in the pew silent” because no one in their community talked about the issue of life or abortion. But counseling and a connection with two pro-life leaders led the couple down a road that changed their lives.
Today, Jeff Bradford serves as president of Human Coalition, a pro-life organization that aims to help women choose life, and the couple have four children.
Now, 32 years after aborting their first baby, the Bradfords are sharing their story in their new book, “Beauty from Ashes: A Christian Couple’s Journey From Abortion to Redemption.”
The couple joins “The Daily Signal Podcast” to share their story and encourage churches across the country to be intentional about providing care for women who have had abortions.

NPR's Book of the Day - Nancy Pelosi opens up about how she wields ‘The Art of Power’
Former Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi says her new book, The Art of Power, is not a memoir. Instead, she says, it's an inside look at specific moments in American history – like the 2008 financial crisis and January 6 – and how she navigated them. In today's episode, the Speaker Emerita sits down with NPR's Mary Louise Kelly to discuss why she didn't want to run for office in the first place, how she looks back on some of the biggest decisions she's made while in power, and what role she played in President Biden's decision to step down from the 2024 race.

Lost Debate - Trump’s Bad Day, Vance v. Walz, Israel/Gaza War
Ravi kicks off the show by tackling Trump’s Mar-A-Lago press conference and Joe Rogan's endorsement of RFK Jr.
Next, Ravi welcomes Isaac Saul from Tangle and Ahmed Fouad Alkhatib, a senior fellow at The Atlantic and a U.S. citizen from Gaza, to discuss the current state of the presidential race. They debate Kamala Harris's choice of Tim Walz as her running mate, examine the pro-Palestinian movement’s reaction, and explore why Harris did not choose Josh Shapiro.
Finally, Ravi, Ahmed, and Isaac turn to the escalations in the Gaza War since Hamas leader Ismail Haniyeh was killed in Iran. They look at how Hezbollah may respond to recent Israeli strikes in Lebanon, and discuss Hamas’s decision to appoint Yahya Sinwar—the architect of the October 7th attacks—as its new leader and how it could impact the chances of achieving a ceasefire and a long-term resolution.
