Color changing, mini lassos, islands, superpowers, vivid blues, falling of limbs, and so much more!This first half is largely focused on the anoles, but part 2, see, Chelsea is one of the cofounders of #BlackBirdersWeek and @BlackAFinSTEM, and so our conversation in the second half largely revolves around that, SciComm, art, and at the time, the news that the nearly 1 million international students in the US would have to return home if they did not have in person classes due to COVID...a decision

2020/05/21

Today, May 21, is the 221st anniversary of Mary Anning’s birth. She is not a household name, by any means—though she is believed to be the inspiration behind the well-known tongue-twister “she sells sea shells by the sea shore”.However, it wasn’t shells she was selling, but fossils of long extinct creatures of a bygone era. She was ‘the greatest fossilist the world ever knew’. Though, the sad truth is much of the worldneverknew, and still does not.221 years after Mary Anning's birth, a young girl

Big Life with Just The Zoo Of US

The Wild Life ·

2020/05/08

Life is a lot of things, but one thing it can be is unexpectedly big. Like, really, really big. What started as a random question from a high schooler ("what's the biggest living thing?") with a seemingly straight forward answer, evolved into a search that lead to some very unexpected places. Such a big journey called for the crossover of the century! We joined forces with Ellen Weatherford of Just the Zoo of Us (an animal review podcast) to explore the world's oceans, the African Savanna, a plateau

True Nature #1: Conversation with Maria Hancox

2020/04/24

When we started The Wild Life, the original idea was to answer listener submitted questions and have every day people on the show to interview guests with us or talk about their interests and passion. Well, when you first start a podcast, you have no listeners, so we had to re-evaluate. In the last year, we've grown quite a bit and now have that listener base which enables us to do that which we originally set out to do, so today, we're bringing you the first of many to come: a conversation with

Hey! Devon, here. March, as you may know, is International Women’s Month, and in honor of that (and the most important women in our lives), my wife and our mother are taking over---and they insisted this episode be called "Hooters". Why? Well, you can ask them...but mainly because it's about owls! The two of them owl-bsolutely love them. So, they sat down to talk about owls, poke fun at Richard and I, and tell bold-faced lies about my love for Duran Duran.This is their first time ever making a
