For this episode, we are joined by Amy Toth, Professor in Ecology, Evolution, and Organismal Biology at Iowa State University, and Matt O'Neal, a Wallace Chair for Sustainable Agriculture and Professor in the Plant Pathology, Entomology, and Microbiology Department, also at Iowa State University. They were here to discuss their article from BioScience's forthcoming special issue on One Health, entitled, "Can Native Vegetation in Agroecosystems Provide a Net Benefit for Pollinators, Despite Pesticide Use?" 

For this episode, we're joined by journalist Paul Koberstein, who was here to discuss his first book, Canopy of Titans, which is about the connection between forests and climate. In particular, the book focuses on the Pacific Coastal Temperate Rainforest, which constitutes one of the world's most important carbon stores.

For this episode, we were joined by Scott Spillias, who is a Research Scientist at CSIRO and affiliated with the Centre for Marine Socioecology at the University of Tasmania, and Beth Fulton, who is Chief Research Scientist with CSIRO and the Deputy Director of the Center for Marine Socioecology. We spoke about their recent BioScience article "The Future of Artificial Intelligence in Ecosystem Modeling." 

For this episode, we're joined once again by John Van Stan, a Professor at Cleveland State University, in the Department of Biological, Geological, and Environmental Sciences. He also runs an independent press, The Press of a Ridiculous Man, which you can find on Amazon. Dr. Van Stan was here today to discuss his recent BioScience article "A cautionary tale about urban trees: could ecoservice monetary estimates become economic sleights of hand?"

For this episode, we were joined by members of the Biodiversity Collections Network, who discussed the NSF-funded BIOFAIR project, the subject of a recent Special Report in BioScience entitled, "Integrating biological and environmental data to solve key scientific and societal challenges."
