Djibo and Bobbie Renfro MS (currently earning her PhD at Florida State University) discuss aspects of marine biology, world travel, climate change, coral reefs and sponges. All while being socially distanced.

On sponges, and why being a beach bum requires several degrees

This is Bioral.  I’m Dr. Djibo Zanzot, and I teach biology at Auburn University.  I also love podcasts, but I’ve felt that topics in biology would be difficult to convey in a podcast format because I teach in a very visual way.  Then I thought, maybe that’s the hook.  Maybe the challenge is to have a conversation with no pictures, no Powerpoint, and no hand gestures.  In each episode, I will be talking with another person, about biology or something biology adjacent, at least that will be the starting point.  It will be a dialogue, thus bi-oral, two mouths.  When you are listening, you will be using your two ears, thus bi-aural. (ok, binaural is the word that exists, but I like the Double entendre), and as such, it will be IN STEREO. This is Biaural.
