August 17, 2021 From pikas to politics
Prof. Nancy Huntly is the scientist who almost never was. All through high
school and university she didn’t feel like science was for her, but her
curiosity has led her to study ecosystems as an academic, work for
government agencies and more recently she's been researching how best to
keep grad students in STEM programs. All that was not enough for Nancy

August 03, 2021 Math the vote pt I: The geometry of gerrymandering
Gerrymandering has been described as the process by which the people being
elected get to chose the people that elect them. It turns out that, while

A journey through ecology, evolution, infectious disease, mathematics and
computational biology in medicine is what has made Dr. Brandon Ogbunu the
scientist he is today. And he is completely unapologetic about it because

Dr James Gurney is a microbiologist interested in infectious diseases. He
is also a big fan of science communication whether that means talking to
students in classrooms, hosting his own podcast, or consulting for
Kurzgesagt. In fact it’s the latter that inspired us to ask James on our
show. You can find the Kurzgesagt on the novel coronavirus here.
We talked about James’ current research, armchair scientists and naturally,
COVID-19.

April 18, 2020 COVID-19 special: The Conservation Biologist
Bats are a hot topic right now in light of COVID-19, but anyone working on
them will tell you these are some of the most misunderstood mammals.
