Hello my beautiful nerds, Kirstynn here

Today is bittersweet, and I am hoping y’all can understand where I am coming from 

Today is the last episode of the Anthropo Scene Podcast 

I loved this podcast and what Nicholas and I had made was something really special, but I really need a new start and I hope that many of you will follow me over to the new show that will be coming soon - follow me on my main IG page to keep up with it (@kirstynnojoseph)

All 3 easons of the Anthropo Scene will live on on my personal YouTube so you can listen to them whenever, but I will be taking it down from the other audio platforms as I can’t keep paying the hosting: https://www.youtube.com/@kirstynnjoseph

Now, before you go!

I was just going to make a post but I remembered I had all of these beautiful stories from the urban wildlife appreciation episode I asked for so long ago, so as I goodbye I am going to finally share these

Thank you to everyone that shared:

Sea a star, make a wish! 

Many of us know how awful heat waves can be (I know I for one have been very glad to have access to AC this summer)... now imagine being underwater where it is even harder, if not impossible, to cool yourself down. 

Marine invertebrates face many challenges, and heat is definitely one of them, but could kelp forests potentially help provide some protection for communities of invertebrates (like sea stars for example!) during heat waves?

Join me chatting with MSc (/PhD candidate) Dominique Maucieri about her research into this complex question!

For new listeners, this podcast is “Serious about research, and less serious about delivery” because our mission has always been approachability and a real-world approach to issues...

Please note I do not do a lot of editing and minor swearing comes up from time to time in episodes, so we hope you can sit back, learn something, and have a laugh with us! 

The Anthropo Scene is an independent project started by young ecologists who are passionate about sharing interesting information surrounding the complicated story of introduced and invasive species around the world. It has now opened up to include more topics about Ecology and the interesting, and sometimes complicated ways that humans interact with nature.

Original music and audio edition for Season 3 by the talented Garret Baker from Quiet Sun Productions 

This podcast continues in the loving memory of Nicholas McCarney.

If you have ever heard whale song before you are likely to agree that it is beautiful, and can be quite powerful. So what if we took these incredible singers (along with dolphins too!) and added our own music to it - all for a greater cause? 

In the search of helping people to practice mindfulness, improve mental health, and to raise awareness for the protection of our oceans, Joshua Sam Miller has created Sounds of The Ocean - An artistic exploration of natural sounds, music, and stunning visuals to inspire conservation action on a global scale. Join me chatting with Joshua all about this project and what it can mean for ocean conservation!

A note:
This episode got posted a touch late (damn life gets in the way sometimes!) so you can't catch Sounds of the Ocean on Tardigrade anymore but do follow them on socials to keep an eye out for where you can join them next on their world tour!

As we expand into natural areas we are undoubtedly expanding into the habitat of other animals. However, sometimes, instead of being pushed out these animals adapt to our landscape… becoming what we refer to as “urbanized.” 

Today, we dive into co-existing with urbanized black bears in the Tahoe area with Toogee Sielsch!
