"But it makes a lot of sense especially when you think about how traditional healers and shamans have worked, they haven't felt that separation from nature like Western medics do. And so to rely on the knowledge of other species actually makes a lot of sense. It's probably a lot more than we know at the moment." - Jaap de Roode Jaap de Roode is a biology professor at Emory University, and he is the author of an astonishing new book called Doctors by Nature How Ants, Apes, and Other Animals Heal Themselves . I say astonishing because I had no idea about so much of what he explores in his book. It never occured to me to consider that other species use medicine and have been healing themselves forever. Jaap tells stories of animals across nature, from bumblebees to chimpanzees, how they use plants and natural substances to treat infections, to ward off parasites, to self-medicate.

Buckle up, because Rick & Audrey are going to take us on a fast-paced audio tour with Frisco Mayor Jeff Cheney as we visit all of the developments that are underway in the city of Frisco, Texas. But first, we spend some time reflecting on soon-to-be retired Frisco City Manager George Purefoy and his impact on the city. On the audio tour, we start in downtown Frisco where our podcast is recorded and discuss plans to enhance the Rail District. Then, we head north on the tollway and turn west on to PGA Parkway, as Mayor Cheney gives insight into what golfers and residents can expect when PGA Frisco opens to the public in 2023. We also discuss the impact PGA Frisco is having on housing and commercial development in that region of Frisco, including stretching west to UNT Frisco. Then, we wrap up our tour by discussing the green spaces planned for the city, which of it located in the heart of town with Grand Park, the city's urban legend which will soon become a reality. Before we go, we play "10 questions with…" and you just might learn a few things about Frisco's mayor you wouldn't expect. FYI, he's a big Justin Timberlake fan, and his first concert was Bon Jovi. And, and even though we tried to get this podcast into our goal of 45 minutes or less... this audio tour with the Mayor was too good and we had to stretch to nearly an hour.
