Breaking Bio

In Episode 14, Morgan and I chat with Jaden Walker (@theeternal, @myriap0da), who is an amateur entomologist, musician, autism advocate, and more.  If you've ever wondered what it's like to house 12,000 spiders (no, that's not a typo) in your bedroom, this is the episode for you!  

In this episode, we talk with the fantastic Jacquelyn Gill (@jacquelyngill)!  We had a great conversation but it was so meaty that I decided to break this one up into three parts.  In this third part, we talk with Jacquelyn about how to be social in science, getting a faculty job, dealing with the NSF (if you're American), and using Skype during your thesis defense!

In this episode, we talk with the fantastic Jacquelyn Gill (@jacquelyngill)!  We had a great conversation but it was so meaty that I decided to break this one up into three parts.  In this second part, we talk with Jacquelyn about science and social media, imposter syndrome, and Bug Girl arrives to talk about the standing of women in science and how we can improve things.

In this episode, we talk with the fantastic Jacquelyn Gill (@jacquelyngill)! We had a great conversation but it was so meaty that I decided to break this one up into three parts. In this first part, we talk with Jacquelyn about paleoecology, dung, scicomm, and mammoth cloning!

In Episode 12, Bug, Crystal, Morgan, Tom and I talk about why the Strepsiptera are rubbish, censorship!, the public conversation about science and whether we can blog our science as it happens, and academic ... CV ... size.  Not only was this Crystal's first live podcast, but Tom was kind of drunk.  Audio is definitely NSFW.  

In this episode I'm joined by Lauren, Tom, Morgan, Michael and Bug Girl as we talk with Professor Mike Siva-Jothy of the University of Sheffeild.  We cover traumatic insemination in bedbugs, tiny glass-blown genitalia, and the triumphant return of pubic lice! 

In this series of clips shot at the Entomological Society of America 2012 conference, Morgan and Crystal interview a series of special guests (including a quick cameo from friends of the show @TheBugChicks!).

In episode 9 we're joined by the Bug Chicks (thebugchicks.com).  Tom, Rafael, and I chat with Jessica and Kristie about everything from teaching about bugs to driving in East Africa with no brakes.  

I'm joined by Lauren, Morgan, Rafael, and guest Sam Evans to chat about science goblins, anti-intellectualism, Master's degrees, the things we write on grants and the joys of working in a call centre.

Professor Rob Brooks (@Brooks_Rob), a behavioural ecologist studying sexual reproduction at the University of New South Wales, joins Rafael, Morgan, Tom, Michael, Lauren, and I for an interview about his book (Sex, Genes, and Rock'n'Roll), and evolution in general.  In a departure from our usual format, there was a minimum of chaos.  Also, our new cohost Lauren (@PygmyLoris) joins us for the first time!  Due to mic issues we don't hear much from her, but look for her to be a big part of things in episodes to come.
