Science by the People! Biodiversity & Community Science with Rebecca Johnson & Alison Young, California Academy of Sciences On Sustainability Now! Sunday, May 15th, 5-6 PM on KSQD 90.7 FM and KSQD.org Join Ronnie Lipschutz for a conversation with Rebecca Johnson and Alison Young, Co-Directors of the Center for Biodiversity and Community Science at the California Academy of Sciences. Community science is a global movement through which scientists and non-scientists alike make observations, collect data, and help answer some of our planet's most pressing questions. It is research- and monitoring-driven and controlled by local communities, and characterized by place-based knowledge, social learning, collective action, and empowerment.

Over the course of the pandemic, many visitor attractions experienced wild changes in their membership and season pass customer base - moves which have forever changed consumer behaviors and how we strategically respond to these.

Scorpions: the victims of undue shade. If you've ever wanted to impress a date with weird facts THIS IS THE EPISODE FOR YOU. A handful of people on planet Earth have a PhD in scorpions and Dr. Lauren Esposito is one of them. She spills the beans on how venom works, what's up with the blacklight glow effect, how dangerous they *really* are, what all the movies get wrong, the best names for scorpions, where she's traveled to look under rocks, where a scorpion's butt is, if scorpions dance or make out (SPOILER: YES), what good mothers they are, how big they used to be millions of years ago and how -- technically speaking -- they are not poisonous. Also: how much does a gallon of venom cost? Oh, and why she started the visibility campaign 500 Queer Scientists. Get this one in your ears right away.

It's time for a field trip! On this episode, Nate heads out of the studio to visit three scientists who work at The California Academy of Sciences in San Francisco. First, Nate interviews Terry Gosliner, who studies sea slugs and the coral reefs they call home. Next, Nate chats with Lauren Esposito, a scorpion biologist whose interest in entomology started at a very early age. Then Nate visits the office of Nathalie Nagalingum to learn about living fossils. At the end of the episode, Nate joins several other students at the Ocean Heroes Panel to deliver an inspiring speech.

Virtual science field trips can transport students to any point around the globe in real time. Today we speak with Jacque Benitez, a distance learning science specialist for the California Academy of Sciences. From running programs on astronomy through to penguins, Jacque knows how to engage remote audiences with real-time experiences about their world. Hosted by Ben Newsome from Fizzics Education. About Jacque Benitez Jacque Benitez is an Education Specialist for the California Academy of Sciences' distance learning program. She has been at the Academy in San Francisco, California since 2012. Starting as a planetarium presenter teaching students astronomy. Jacque then took the opportunity to reach students beyond the Bay Area in an innovative way through the Academy's distance learning program. Since joining the education team, she has tripled its digital outreach and co-designed many of the existing programs offered today. Her mission for distance learning is that every K-8th grade student has the opportunity to explore, explain, and sustain life as a scientist.

On today’s Word By Word, host Gil Mansergh helps us travel back 112 years to join the hardy young men who spent a year and a day collecting specimens on the Galapagos Islands for the California Academy of Sciences (CAS). Our guide is Dr. Matthew J. James, Chair of the Sonoma State University Department of Geology, a Fellow of the California Academy of Sciences, science advisor to the Galápagos Conservancy, and a Governing Member of the General Assembly of the Charles Darwin Foundation. His book Collecting Evolution: The Galapagos Expedition that Vindicated Darwin was written to “set the record straight” after overhearing a CAS staffer tell visitors that the expedition “arrived in San Francisco with the fires still burning from the 1906 earthquake.” In fact, the ship didn’t sail through the Golden Gate until Thanksgiving of the same year.

What happens when you fill up a giant space with over 200 eager science fans from around the Bay Area for a weekend? You get Science Hack Day San Francisco, a two-day event where a diverse group of "hackers" -- from developers and designers to scientists and students -- works side-by-side to see what they can quickly create within 24 consecutive hours.

The opposition of two new museums in Golden Gate Park

The California Academy of Sciences has the largest collection of biological reference materials west of the Mississippi. Dating back over 100 years, the collection provides a treasure trove of biological information for scientists and researchers studying the natural world. Norman Penny, the Collections Manager of the Entomology Department, gives QUEST a small peek at The Academy’s vast butterfly collection.

The world's great museums have attractions that capture the imagination of visitors. The very best museums also design their experiences to connect with visitors in ways that may not always be readily apparent. In this episode, Lisa Dunmeyer, project manager with BBI Engineering, talks with Lunar's Gretchen Anderson and Lisa Leckie about how visitors are connecting with the newly redesigned California Academy of Sciences in San Francisco's Golden Gate Park. BBI Engineering of San Francisco served as primary integrator of the audiovisual design within the new Cal Academy.

A great migration is taking place as the California Academy of Sciences moves from its temporary home in downtown San Francisco to its new green building in Golden Gate Park. Join QUEST inside as Cal Academy scientists move live penguins, sharks, eels and millions of other scientific specimens. In the process, we'll see how this new building will showcase one of the greatest scientific institutions in the country.
