Animalia ·

2021/11/10

One of the most important things we can do in order to address climate change is decarbonize our electricity grid. As much as 25-33% of our emissions come from electricity and that is only going to increase as the world becomes more and more electric - from transportation to data centers to currency. While there are plenty of zero-carbon sources to cover our power needs - wind, solar, hydro, nuclear - the transition is difficult and needs more policy to push it forward. So today on Animalia we are

2021/11/03

Raise your hand if you have ever actively thought about parasite conservation and the importance of protecting these species. Most of you probably have your hands down. And understandably so, after all, don’t parasites just cause problems for their hosts? Why would we conserve them? As it turns out, most parasites often have a fairly neutral relationship with their hosts. In addition, they can have vast benefits to our ecological systems. They are the glue that very much holds the food web together

One of my favorite novels of all-time is Mary Shelley's Frankenstein. The idea of breathing life into something that previously housed none is both exhilarating and fantastical. Now in the case of Dr. Frankenstein, it did not work out all too well. However in the case of sea walls, it seems it very much will! Sea walls are everywhere across the world. And they have been for a long time. They are growing more larger and more numerous and ambitious due to our warming oceans, rising sea

Nuclear Energy! In today’s episode we give you a deep dive into nuclear energy and why it may be our only way off of fossil fuels. Like many others, when you think of nuclear you probably think of large scale accidents, radiation, nuclear waste, and nuclear weapons. All bad things! However it’s also a carbon-free, zero-emission energy source that produces more output at a more consistent pace than wind or solar, and is cheaper than coal or natural gas. And there are a ton of innovations happening to
