On the very first virtual episode, we meet Dr. Guzman, a professor in the Department of Entomology at Cornell. In this episode, we discuss the reason for the striking decline in insect populations across the globe. She also explains her community centric methods of collecting data to get the full picture of insect populations, specifically pollinators. I’ve been looking forward to filming this episode, so I hope you all enjoy! This is a public episode.

Today I was joined by Dr. Emilio Bruna, a professor in the Department of Wildlife Ecology and Conservation. Unfortunately, the recording malfunctioned so I lost the last 10 minutes of the recording. We discussed Dr. Bruna’s research about the interactions between different habitat fragments. Despite the technical difficulties, I had a great time recording this episode. I hope you all enjoy!

In this episode we meet Dr. Eddy, a professor in the Chemistry Department at UF. He researches how the cell environment can affect drugs that bond to receptor proteins that sit on the outside of the cell. Additionally, we discusses how biologics, a new protein based drug, could be used despite its trouble existing in the human body. I hope you all enjoy! This is a public episode.

In this episode we meet Dr. Kleiman, a professor in the Chemistry Department. She researches how effective different transition metal complexes are at transferring light from one molecule to another; the goal is to implement these in photovoltaic solar panels. We also discussed the use of Ultrafast Spectroscopy, which allows her to effectively measure the distance the light travels. I had a lot of fun in this episode, so I hope you all enjoy!

In this episode, we meet Dr. Rudolf, a professor in the Chemistry Department, who researches natural product discovery and biosynthesis. He explains how he found terpenoids, a compound responsible for the scent of many spices, in bacteria, instead of its usual location - plants. I really enjoyed filming this episode, so I hope you enjoy! This is a public episode.
