This week we have a story about what a lifetime of birdwatching can teach you about yourself and other people (spoiler alert: birding is not only about birds). We used clips from "Rules for the Black Birdwatcher" courtesy of BirdNote. "Rules for the Black Birdwatcher" was produced for BirdNote by Ari Daniel Shapiro, with executive producer Dominic Black, and featured J. Drew Lanham and James Wright.

Ugandan lepidopterist Perpetra Akite studies at a university in the capital city, far from the farm where she grew up. Since she began studying butterflies as a girl, the landscape of her homeland has changed radically, for butterflies as well as people. It’s change that can be measured in many ways—in the inches of rainfall, acres of forest cleared—or the span of a tiny butterfly’s wings. Ari Daniel Shapiro reports from Kigale.

As a grad student, Ari Daniel Shapiro has to tag some narwhals to collect data. The problem: it's in the arctic, the devices have never been tested, and if he fails he'll never be able to do research again. "The thing is, you have to get the tag back to get the data."
