Description
Science communication is At Risk. To bring it back, I talk to a biologist or science educator every week, telling you what they do and how they do it.

Today we explore the importance of life on our planet, and how each individual animal/plant can make a differance on our society. I talk about genetic diversity, ecological redundancy, and the mongoose crisis in Hawaii.

Listen to me talk to Gillian Chow Frasier about caribou. We talk about why they are going extinct, what people are doing to save them, and tons more fun facts!
Listen to me talk to Dan Baldassarre, an Assistant Professor from SUNY Oswego about cardinals! We talk about everything from their mating to how they survive the winter, and even how yellow cardinals exist?
Listen to me talk to Derek Hennen, a millipede and centipede expert. We talk about fun facts, the difference between millipedes and centipedes, how they help their ecosystems, and so much more.
Listen to me talk to Andrew Lewin, marine biologist and podcast host, about why science communication is so important, his inspirations, and so much more.
Listen to me finish my conversation with John, as we talk about takeaways and fun closing questions.
Listen to me talk to John Vanek, a wildlife biologist and a PhD graduate. We go back and trace the projects he's done over the years to get to where he is today in this two part series.
Listen to me talk to Professor Dave Watson, about his work in ecology. We discuss habitat fragmentation, acoustic ecology, mistletoe, brushes with giant snakes and so much more.
Listen to me talk to Dr. Jaimi Gray, who uses CT scans to examine animals under a fine tooth comb. We discuss frog and snake brains, evolution, online databases and so much more.
Today, I talk with returning guest Anna Thonis about what it's like to work away from home. We talk about creepy crawlies, groceries, dead batteries, coastal camping, and so much more!
Listen to me talk to Sebastian Cocioba, co-founder of binomica labs. It is a non-profit organization which aspires to promote biology within the general public, giving people the ability to publish their own research.
Listen to me talk to Krista Koeller, where we finish discovering how to learn about convergent evolution. We talk about morphometrics, spines, conflicting scientific ideas and so much more.
Listen to me talk with Krista Koeller, a researcher who studies why snakes don't have legs, by looking at convergent evolution. We talk about why having no legs is an advantage, how legless lizards are different from snakes, dumplings and pierogies, as well as so much more.
Listen to me talk to my science teacher, Tara Rickert about how to teach, study, what early teacher's go through and so much more.
Listen to me talk to Jimmy Bernot, a Phd student who studies evolutionary biology in crustaceans. Together, we talk about parasites, copepods, invertebrates, and so much more.
After my interview with Nick Volpe a couple months (ish) ago, we started talking about the temperature differences from where we live. I live in Canada, which is known for being cold, and he lives in Australia (which is fairly hot). Basically, this is a 10 min. conversation where Nick and I take turns blowing each other's mind about the temperature from where we live. Enjoy!
Listen to me talk to Matthew Fielding, a PhD grad living in Tasmania studying scavengers. We talk about disgusting dead meat, clever ravens, and so much more.
Listen to me talk to Anna Thonis about lizards. We talk about competition, distribution, anoles, what it's like to be out in the field, and so much more.
Listen to me talk to Carly York, a Biology Professor at Lenoir-Rhyne University in North Carolina. We talk about horse social hierarchy, crazy squid technology, and frogs that discover if your pregnant?
Listen to me talk to Celia Leto, a coral reproduction biologist. We talk about if coral are plants or animals, how they make cute little coral babies, why they are so important, why they are under threat, and the progress we've made to complete restoration.
