"A Review of Turfgrass Sports Field Variability and Its Implications on Athlete-Surface Interactions" with Dr. Chase Straw.

Sports scientists study how athletes perform during exercise and how that affects the body. Turfgrass scientists study how to improve and maintain the health of turfgrass. But what happens when you combine the two? Dr. Chase Straw's review paper decided to find out, searching out research that combines both fields to better understand athlete biomechanics, physiology and perceptions, performance, and injuries.

Listen in to find out:

• How combining player, lab, and field data can increase player performance and safety
• What impact perceptions can have on how players perform
• What new technologies are being used to measure things like athlete performance and biomechanics
• What research gaps still exist when comparing and combining these fields

"A preliminary investigation of wild pig (Sus scrofa ) impacts in water quality" with Dr. John Brooks.

Wild pigs are an invasive species that impact at least thirty-five states in the United States with a population of approximately six million and growing. With few natural predators and a high reproduction rate, they are a highly mobile species that can contaminate local waters with soil, fecal materials, and even disease. But can they carry antimicrobial resistance as well? Dr. John Brooks and his team worked with other researchers who are modeling pig behaviors and ecology in order to help quantify just how big of an impact these wild pigs might have.

Listen in to learn:

• How researchers go about capturing wild pigs
• What attributes make wild pigs well suited to rapid movement and growth
• What kinds of microbes wild pigs may carry
• What local landowners can do to help combat the spread of wild pigs

"Impacts of Oyster Aquaculture on Subaqueous Soils and Infauna" with Chelsea Duball.

Oysters are praised as ecosystem engineers, not only for their filter feeding, which draws particulate matter and nutrients out of the water, but also for their ability to create natural structures in the wild that can protect against storm surges on the coasts. But, as they expel excess nutrients that they don't use, is there a potential for an environmental tradeoff, either in soil health or on the other creatures that live within these ecosystems? Chelsea Duball and her team studied oysters in Rhode Island lagoons, researching how much feces oysters could produce at various stocking densities, the short term effects of those feces on soil health, and the long term effects those deposits could have on the tiny creatures that live within oyster farm soils.

Tune in to learn:

• How to collect oyster feces underwater
• What kind of underwater critters oyster farming can attract
• What ecological benefits oysters can provide
• How oyster farming can impact soils both in the short and long term

"Evaluation of Water Retention Products to Conserve Urban Water Resources in Home Lawns" with Vikram Baliga.

Water retention products are designed to help turfgrasses conserve water. But as water conservation becomes an issue of ever greater importance, it is important not only to know which of these products to use, but also how best to use them within larger water conservation initiatives. Enter Vikram Baliga and his team. In the field, they compared four different water retention products to see which performed best under harsh, drought like conditions. In tandem, they also sent out surveys to homeowners, investigating what kinds of messaging and incentives might best influence homeowner behaviors.

"Crop Production on Heavily Disturbed Soils following Crude Oil Remediation" with Dr. Tom DeSutter and Sam Croat.

When an oil spill occurs on land, there are myriad ways to approach cleanup, from adding oxidizers or nutrients to speed natural processes, burning off surface oil, replacing contaminated top soil with top soil from other regions, or even just removing the soil to a landfill. When an oil spill in 2013 contaminated Steve and Patty Jensen's land with ~860,000 gallons of Bakken crude oil, Dr. Tom DeSutter and then student Sam Croat tested soil mixing and thermal desorption methods, working with the oil companies, landowners, and remediation companies to try to see which methods could best return the Jensen's land to its original, pre-spill state.

Listen in to learn:

• What are different techniques to cleanup an oil spill
• How thermal desorption works
• Who to contact in case of an oil spill
• How mixing soils can give subsoils the jumpstart they need

"Crude Oil Effects on Redox Status of Salt Marsh Soil in Louisiana" with Dr. John White. Also featuring Dr. John Pardue.

Ten years ago, on April 20th, the Deepwater Horizon oil platform exploded, killing eleven crewmen and releasing about five million barrels of crude oil into the Gulf of Mexico and surrounding environment over the next 87 days. Drs. John White and John Pardue have spent much of their careers focusing on the effects of oil on the environment and ways to speed recovery efforts after spills. Join us as we discuss their papers on the relationships between oil, plant health, and microbes, as well as where we are on the road to recovery today.

Listen in to learn:

• The difference between fresh and weathered oil
• How buried and surface level oil can affect the health of plants
• The importance of oxygen for microbial breakdown of crude oil
• Where we are today in the recovery process after Deepwater Horizon

"Top 10 Plants: Increasing Awareness of Plants" with Dr. Mary Hockenberry Meyer and Dr. Natalie Bumgarner.

Plant blindness is the inability to "see" the plants around us, that is, to recognize them as separate and important pieces of our surroundings beyond their roles as general background or landscape. But for those who do "see" plants and their varied species, how can they communicate that information and passion to those around them? One potential answer? Lists. Drs. Mary Meyer and Natalie Bumgarner are pioneers in this technique, both coordinating with local partners, experts, media, and the public to spearhead Top Ten Plant programs in their states.

Listen in to learn:

• How extension initiatives can bridge gaps between experts and the general public
• Top tips for spearheading programs in your state or region
• What kinds of partnerships and resources can develop from these initiatives
• What plants made the list both in Minnesota and Tennessee

"Analysis of Children's Drawings to Gain Insight into Plant Blindness" with Dr. Christina Hargiss and Dr. Paula Comeau

Plant blindness is a phenomenon that, despite its name, has nothing to do with whether or not plants can see. It is actually defined as our inability to see or value the plants around us. Interdisciplinary researchers Drs. Christina Hargiss and Paula Comeau have spent a lot of time digging down to the "roots" of this problem, with research touching anything from psychology to history, cryptography, literature, art and more. This episode, we discuss their work studying plant blindness and mental models in children's art.

Listen to this two part episode to learn more about:

• What plant blindness is
• How child psychology and plant blindness research overlap
• What hurdles researchers face when working with younger study groups
• How you can fight plant blindness using your grocery store
• What witch trials, Harry Potter, confederate armies, and cryptography have to do with plant blindness
