In Part 2 of this two-part series, hosts Dr. Bob Thomas and Dr. Aimée Thomas continue their conversation with legendary oyster scientist Dr. Earl Melancon, turning the focus to oyster culture, harvesting, and what the future may hold for Louisiana's iconic fishery.Earl traces the history of oyster aquaculture in Louisiana, breaking down how oysters have traditionally been harvested and how new approaches are changing the industry. What does it really mean when an oyster is described as “milky”? Should you only eat oysters in months with an “R”? And what exactly is off-bottom aquaculture — is it the future of oyster harvesting in Louisiana, or just a passing trend?Drawing from more than five decades of research and time spent alongside oystermen, Earl shares insights, hard-earned lessons, and memorable stories from a lifelong career in oyster science. This episode offers a grounded look at how tradition, science, and innovation intersect in the evolving world of Louisiana oysters.Follow @SoNatPodcast on Facebook and Instagram!Visit our website at https://lucec.loyno.edu/so-nat-podcast Do you have any more questions about nature?

On January 5, 2026, Jirdes Winther Baxter passed away at 101 years old — the last known survivor of the 1925 diphtheria epidemic in Nome, Alaska. A few years ago, we told the story of the Serum Run: the desperate relay of mushers and sled dogs who carried a life-saving antitoxin across Alaska, including to an 11-month-old Baxter. Today, that run lives on through the Iditarod Trail Sled Dog Race. Enjoy this classic HTW story, and stay tuned for new episodes soon! January 27, 1925. Musher “Wild Bill” Shannon and his team of sled dogs race off into the frigid Alaskan night. He's carrying a package of life-saving serum, wrapped in fur to keep it from freezing. There's no time to waste: nearly 700 miles away, in the snowed-in town of Nome, children are dying of diphtheria. Twenty mushers and hundreds of dogs are about to take part in an almost superhuman effort to ferry desperately needed medicine across the howling Alaskan wilderness. Who were they, and what did they endure to reach their goal? And as they pressed on, how did their efforts grip the nation? Special thanks to our guests, Pam Flowers, author of Togo and Leonhard, and Bob Thomas, author of Leonhard Seppala: The Siberian Dog and The Golden Age of Sleddog Racing 1908-1941. ** This episode originally aired Jan 23, 2023. -- Get in touch: historythisweekpodcast@history.com Follow on Instagram: @historythisweekpodcast Follow on Facebook: HISTORY This Week Podcast To stay updated: http://historythisweekpodcast.com To learn more about listener data and our privacy practices visit: https://www.audacyinc.com/privacy-policy Learn more about your ad choices.

In this first of a two-part series, hosts Dr. Bob Thomas and Dr. Aimée Thomas dive into the secret life of oysters with Dr. Earl Melancon — one of the most prominent voices in oyster science and Louisiana's commercial fishing world. A Professor Emeritus at Nicholls State University and current Louisiana Sea Grant Scholar, Earl has spent more than 50 years studying the biology, ecology, and culture of oysters alongside the oystermen who harvest them.Together, they explore the natural history of the Eastern oyster, Crassostrea virginica — how these remarkable creatures build their shells, change sex as they grow, filter vast amounts of water, and survive a gauntlet of predators in Louisiana's estuaries. From microscopic larvae to full-grown reef builders, this episode reveals the biology behind one of the coast's most iconic species — and a foundation of Louisiana's ecology and culture.Stay tuned for Part 2, where the conversation turns to the human side of oysters — the people, traditions, and challenges of the industry that depends on them.Follow @SoNatPodcast on Facebook and Instagram!Visit our website at https://lucec.loyno.edu/so-nat-podcast Do you have any more questions about nature?
