Send us a textScientific research at Yellowstone and other National Park has yielded many useful discoveries benefiting humanity. One of the most important was the discovery of the thermophilic bacterium, Thermus aquaticus. Later an enzyme was purified by a team led by Dr. Henry Erlich, which led to the practical use of the PCR test in covid detection and many other uses.Science in parks is a crucial tool for the advancement of humanity.However, if it were not for the early efforts of George Menendez Wright, science may have never taken hold in our national parks. Today, the George Wright Society continues that effort by supporting parks, protected/conserved areas, cultural sites, and other kinds of place-based conservation by encouraging communication among and convenings of researchers, managers, educators, practitioners, and the public to facilitate informed decisions and actions that embrace our values.Joining me to talk science in our national parks is Dave Harmon, executive director of the George Wright Society. Dave is responsible for overseeing the George Wright Society's operations, including co-editing Parks Stewardship Forum and helping plan workshops and other meetings. A member of the GWS since 1985, Dave began working for the organization in 1990 and served as executive director from 1998 to 2017 before returning that role in 2019. He is active in IUCN's World Commission on Protected Areas. He also maintains a research interest in the relationship between biological and cultural diversity, having co-founded the NGO Terralingua, which is devoted to that subject. Dave has co-edited several volumes on protected area conservation, including The Antiquities Act: A Century of American Archaeology, Historic Preservation, and Nature Conservation (with Francis P. McManamon and Dwight T. Pitcaithley), The Full Value of Parks: From Economics to the Intangible (with Allen D. Putney), and A Thinking Person's Guide to America's National Parks (with Robert Manning, Rolf Diamant, and Nora Mitchell).https:/natureandsciencepodcast.com
George Melendez Wright was a brilliant young scientist with the National Park Service back in the 1920s and 1930s. You could say he was ahead of his time, in that he wanted the Park Service to take a holistic role in how wildlife in the parks was managed. While Wright tragically left the world too young when he was killed in a car crash in 1936, his name lives on today in the George Wright Society, a nonprofit organization that is focused on stewardship of parks, protected & conserved areas, cultural sites, and other kinds of place-based conservation. Our guest today is Dave Harmon, executive director of the society. We'll be back in a minute with Dave to learn more about the society and the role it plays.

Patrick Smith called 911, distraught. He told the dispatcher that his wife, Amanda, had just shot herself in the head. When police arrived on the scene, they found gun cleaning equipment near the bed. The room was bloody, but Patrick wasn’t. He told the police what happened that night, but hours later, his story changed. With each iteration, the story got more strange. And Amanda’s mom, Judith Binnie, grew suspicious.Kristin felt like poo poo butter this week, so she didn’t do a case! By the way, you’ve heard the term poo poo butter before, right?And now for a note about our process. For each episode, Kristin reads a bunch of articles, then spits them back out in her very limited vocabulary. Brandi copies and pastes from the best sources on the web. And sometimes Wikipedia. (No shade, Wikipedia. We love you.) We owe a huge debt of gratitude to the real experts who covered these cases.In this episode, Brandi pulled from:“Killer Fetish” episode Accident, Suicide, or Murder“'I Would Go After Him With My Dying Breath': Mom Gets Justice For Daughter In Suicide-Turned-Murder Case” by Erik Hawkins, Oxygen“Patrick Smith v The State of Texas” justia.com “Jury learns more of sex than killing” by Dave Harmon, Austin American-Statesman“A daughter’s death, a family’s quest” by Dave Harmon, Austin American-Statesman“Patrick Smith’s murder trial goes to jury” by Dave Harmon, Austin American-Statesman YOU’RE STILL READING?

David Harmon loves arguing about anything. But as he reflects on how his love of debating informed his youth, he wonders how his story may have played out today in the world of MRAs, Gamergates and the land of angry young boys on Twitter.
We're excited to bring you Episode 94 of The BibRave Podcast where we invite two of our faves, Cholesterol Dave (aka Dr. Dave Harmon) and ARX Josh (aka Dr. Josh Russell), back to the podcast. In this week's episode we dive deep into what the medical industry gets wrong about nutrition, specifically as it relates to our diets and supplements. As runners, we're always looking to optimize some part of our health, performance, and recovery, and supplements can be a big part of that, whether it's protein powder or daily vitamins. We first explore WHY it's so hard to get good information on what's “good” for us when it comes to food and nutrition. We then take a close look at supplements, how they are regulated (or not), which ones runners should consider taking, and how we can do our own research. Spoiler - if you've taken krill/fish oil, vitamin C or D, zinc, or protein powder, you'll want to listen to this episode! We end with an interesting perspective on how the lack of nutrition education impacts where medical professions focus their knowledge and interventions. As always, you can find us on social - Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram! And if you haven't yet, please leave us a review on the iTunes store! Thanks and enjoy.

The town of Peters Point is teeming with cultists, sacrifices, and a population ensorcelled into inaction. Bill is unconscious, his blood stolen and his hopes fairly low. What will happen, is the fight already lost? This episode features dirt, flowers, flags, rope, and two exceedingly smelly tourists. Our guests this episode are Ben Jenkins and Dave Harmon of the Dragon Friends Podcast.

Just a heads up, this episode was recorded back in March, and some of the references are less current now, but it's a super funny episode with a great guest, Dave Harmon. We chat about a mix up involving a prostitute, some kids who definitely are trying to kill a cop, and the fact that jigsaw puzzles are super weird.
