Oh hello! I'm back - in Southeast Asia (for now), and also to posting new episodes! Starting with these thoughts:

* Being able to travel to other countries to conduct research is a privilege - and this needs to be appreciated mindfully, and matched with responsibilities

* Making a meaningful impact is more possible than we often assume

* Contributing to a thriving community of colleagues is one of the most important things we can do in conservation

* How can those of us who are relatively privileged better fulfill our responsibilities as researchers and as humans? (sorry, I have no definitive answer, but things I would love for more people to think about)
