From the creator of the Knepp Wildland Podcast, join me, Penny Green, on some wildlife adventures where I will be celebrating positive nature conservation news...one story, one friendship, one wild place at a time.

Yes its me, podcasting from my woodland next to a crackling open fire. I will also be using this platform to talk about my wild camping and forest management journey, whilst highlighting awareness and discussing what we can all do to promote driving out the stigma surrounding Men's Mental Health.

A vibrant young Hispano woman, Shonnie Medina, inherits a breast-cancer mutation known as BRCA1.185delAG. It is a genetic variant characteristic of Jews. The Medinas knew they were descended from Native Americans and Spanish Catholics, but they did not know that they had Jewish ancestry as well. The mutation most likely sprang from Sephardic Jews hounded by the Spanish Inquisition. The discovery of the gene leads to a fascinating investigation of cultural history and modern genetics by Dr. Harry Ostrer and other experts on the DNA of Jewish populations.
