Today's episode of Biologica introduces animal ethics with an interview with philosopher and ethicist Dr. Clare Palmer from the University of Texas. We discuss the field of animal ethics, real research examples, and practical dilemmas from both academic and everyday perspectives. Dr. Susan also shares personal stories about youthful ethics dilemmas in science, reflecting on how educators can support students as they navigate ethical choices. The discussion also weaves in current climate change and environmental issues with animal ethics and philosophy. This episode is the first of several planned episodes exploring animal ethics.
