At Risk – Details, episodes & analysis

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 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.
