Ep. 41 - The Autumn Episode (Pumpkin Spice-flavored)
Bill and Steve return with an episode focused on the fall. Specifically, they look into why fall is the neglected season when it comes to climate change research.
Ep. 40 - Put a Ring On It (Part 2) - How Safe is Bird Banding?
Join Steve and Bill for a deep dive into a question that many bird banders have wondered about over the years: how safe is bird banding?
Ep. 40 - Put a Ring On It (Part 1) - All About Bird Banding
In this first part of our bird banding episode, Bill and Steve cover the history, tools, and techniques involved in bird banding.
Ep. 39 - The Alliterative Purple Pitcher Plant (Carnivorous Series #1)
Carnivorous plants are the renegades of the plant world. About 800 known species have gone from primary producers to immobile predators. In this episode, Steve goes on and on and on about everything you want to know about carnivorous plants (and a few things you don’t want to know). You’ll learn what it means to be a carnivorous plant, what it means to be a pitcher plant, and a few interesting things about the Purple Pitcher Plant, Sarracenia purpurea. Enjoy!
Ep. 36 - Spring Science Geek Out!
Spring is here, and the guys hit the trail to discuss spring-related science, including how climate change is impacting global plant growth and how it’s changing bird migration. Plus, Bill gives a (sort of) rebuttal to Steve’s unprovoked and vicious attack on Charles Darwin from last episode. Happy Spring!
Ep. 35 - The Receding Hare Line (and More Snow-related Science)
It’s Snow-and-Tell time! We’re deep into winter right now, and spring seems snow far away. So, we decided to embrace the season and look into recent research around a topic that would be sure to provide plenty of puns for this write-up: SNOW! We delve into recent snow-related studies.
