Dr. Nusha Keyghobadi is an Associate Professor at Western University. Her research program combines elements of population genetics, population ecology, and landscape ecology, with a focus on understanding the effects of habitat fragmentation on genetic diversity. She has worked on the conservation genetics of at-risk butterflies, on mosquitoes that are vectors of wildlife disease, and in agricultural and forest entomology. She is also passionate about teaching and outreach.

A big thank you to Nusha for sharing her time and experience with us.

This week's challenge is to make a low-carbon footprint meal, taking into consideration distance traveled, production methods, and, water and land use.

I recorded this episode on the Williams Treaty, signed in 1923 by 7 Anishnaabe First Nations. The closest community to me is the Mississaugas of Scugog Island First Nation. This region is the traditional territory of the Anishnaabe and Haudenosaunee peoples, which they shared peacefully under the Dish with One Spoon Wampum agreement. Today, it is still home to many First Nations, Metis, and Inuit peoples.
