This episode first aired back in December of 2013, and at the start of that new year, the team was cracking open fossils, peering back into ancient seas, and looking up at lunar skies only to find that a year is not quite as fixed as we thought it was.With the help of paleontologist Neil Shubin, reporter Emily Graslie and the Field Museum's Paul Mayer we discover that our world is full of ancient coral calendars. Each one of these sea skeletons reveals that once upon a very-long-time-ago, years were shorter by over forty days. And astrophysicist Chis Impey helps us comprehend how the change is all to be blamed on a celestial slow dance with the moon. Plus, Robert indulges his curiosity about stopping time and counteracting the spinning of the spheres by taking astrophysicist Neil deGrasse Tyson on a (theoretical) trip to Venus with a rooster and sprinter Usain Bolt.We have some exciting news! In the “Zoozve” episode, Radiolab named its first-ever quasi-moon, and now it's your turn!

Love science and conservation? Want to discover new ways to protect our species? Elle Kaye chats with guests who work within the science genre, but whose job titles may need a little unpacking. Strap in for entomology, taxidermy, diaphonization, pet remains, human pathology and all those that work with specimens. In episode 013 Elle chats with Emily about her life 'before science' as an artist, and how discovering the world of natural history and science turned her world upside down. Emily also discusses the highs and lows of her successful Youtube channel,  'The Brain Scoop', and her work in activism, education and science communication.

Texas and Mississippi are reopening. Cancel culture IS a thing. Also, have you ever imagined Helen Mirren smoking weed? We unpack the week that was with Leigh Bardugo and Emily Graslie. Plus, Anna Malaika Tubbs joins us to talk about the mothers of three civil rights icons. AND Sherry Turkle stops by to discuss her new memoir.

This week we are so excited to have the amazing Emily Graslie with us to talk all about the archelon, the largest sea turtle to have ever lived! We also got to chat with Emily about science communication, online community, dung beetles, and — of course — Animal Crossing! Emily started the YouTube channel The Brain Scoop in 2013 where she unpacks the behind the scenes of natural history museums. She was also the Chief Curiosity Correspondent for the Chicago Field Museum of Natural History. This summer, Emily had a three-part documentary series air on PBS called Prehistoric Road Trip, where she journeyed back in time by exploring fossils from the Northern Great Plains region. Make sure to check it out here! And, for more from Emily, follow her on Twitter and Instagram.

On this edition of The Explorer’s Club, we tag along with Emily Graslie, host of the PBS show "Prehistoric Road Trip." We learn about the ancient history of places like South Dakota, Montana and Wyoming by discovering fossils, clams, dinosaur bones and more!  Learn more about Prehistoric Road Trip: https://www.pbs.org/show/prehistoric-road-trip/ (Guest originally appeared on "The Morning Show" on July 24, 2020.)

As you'll soon find out, Emily Graslie has a contagious enthusiasm for science and discovery. She holds the very real title of “Chief Curiosity Correspondent” at the Field Museum here in Chicago. She hosts a YouTube series called The Brain Scoop. And she’s also the host of a series on PBS called Prehistoric Road Trip, where she travels across the western United States to examine the history of our planet.We talk with Emily about exploration and discovery, how loving art and science does not have to be mutually exclusive, and then she drops more clam facts on us than we thought was possible.

A whole lot of folks’ summer plans have been cut short this season. Maybe you were planning a family road trip to visit a national park. Or your local science museum. Now, you can watch from home, as Emily Graslie, executive producer, host, and writer for the PBS series “Prehistoric Road Trip,” takes us along for the ride to some of the big geologic sites across the country. She talks about the future of museums and science communication. “Prehistoric Road Trip” is currently streaming on pbs.org.  There’s a whole thriving, diverse microbiome that lives in your home. One 2010 study of North Carolina homes found an average of 2,000 types of microbes per house. And there’s likely a menagerie of arthropods living with you, too. Another study found that homes contain an average population of about a hundred invertebrate species, including spiders, mites, earwigs, cockroaches, and moths. There’s no need to panic: These thriving ecosystems are doing us more good than we give them credit for. Children who grow up exposed to an abundance of microbes are less sensitive to allergens, and appear to have better developed immune systems throughout their lives. Science journalist Emily Anthes talks about the indoor microbiome in her new book, The Great Indoors: The Surprising Science of How Buildings Shape Our Behavior, Health, and Happiness. She joins Ira to discuss what she learned about the unique microbiome of her own home while writing the book, and the vast biodiversity of the indoors. In the last year, Elon Musk’s SpaceX company has launched more than 500 small satellites, the beginning of a project that Musk says will create a worldwide network of internet access for those who currently lack it. But there’s a problem: The reflective objects in their low-earth orbit shine brighter than actual stars in the 90 minutes after sunset. In astronomical images taken during these times, the ‘constellations’ of closely grouped satellites show up as bright streaks of light that distort images of far-away galaxies. With SpaceX planning to launch up to 12,000 satellites, and other companies contemplating thousands more, the entire night sky might change—and not just at twilight. Astronomers have voiced concerns that these satellites will disrupt sensitive data collection needed to study exoplanets, near-earth asteroids, dark matter, and more. And there’s another question on the minds of scientists, photographers, Indigenous communities, and everyone else who places high value on the darkness of the night sky: Who gets to decide to put all these objects in space in the first place?  Astronomers Aparna Venkatesan and James Lowenthal discuss the risks of too many satellites, both to science and culture, and why it may be time to update the laws that govern space to include more voices. Plus, astronomer Annette Lee of the Lakota tribe sends a message about her cultural relationship with the night sky. Plus, NASA is asking amateur astronomers and photography enthusiasts to take as many pictures as they can of the Starlink “streaks.” You can help NASA document the night sky—and the changes happening there—by uploading your sky photos to the Satellite Streak Watcher research project. All you need to get started is a digital camera or smartphone, a tripod, and a long exposure on a clear evening. Click here to participate!

Emily Graslie (2011 UM College of the Arts and Media graduate) is creator and host of the hugely successful Brain Scoop youtube channel and the Chief Curiosity Correspondent at Chicago's Field Museum of Natural History. Emily recently visited UM to be honored at this year's Odyssey of the Stars and was kind enough to stop by Studio 49. We talk about her experience in digital media, her time as an unpaid intern, and her confrontation of gender inequities in both entertainment and education.

Mammalogist Tyrone Lavery had heard rumors of a giant coconut-eating rat living somewhere, elusively, in the Solomon Islands. But after five years of searching, all he had to show for it was a mysterious poop.  That is, until the giant rat fell from the sky.  ---  This story was covered extensively by the press; read the article on FieldMuseum.org or check out additional coverage here: http://bit.ly/2LOJoHQ --- This episode concludes Season 1 of ExploreAStory!

Dr. Kevin Feldheim is interested in shark sex. Okay, shark reproduction. Like most vertebrates, sharks and their relatives reproduce sexually-- but while studying critically endangered sawfish (a very cool, very threatened cartilaginous fish), Kevin and his colleagues discovered something shocking: the female fish had given birth to clones, without having mated. It was the first time this phenomena had been studied in the wild for this species.

Would you ever think that calling up a natural history museum and asking for their 'crusties' would be a legitimate scientific request? Well, it is, and that's what Dr. Molly McDonough does. She studies mammals and their DNA, sometimes pulling out the genetic code from animals that have been dead for more than a hundred years. For those of you (like me) who have ever scratched your head thinking 'what the heck is DNA anyway?,' Molly gives a GREAT explanation in this episode! Molly stands in the Smithsonian's National Museum of Natural History gerbil collection, surrounded by specimens in drawers. photo c/o Molly McDonough --- Where are you in the world? Give us a listen!

Well it's Thursday it's 3:00 p.m. and you're here in the studio and this is the apex hour. My name is Lynn Vartan and I'm so excited today excited two of my most favorite people in the studio with me and we are celebrating because our season is officially done for the spring semester which is totally awesome. But the fun doesn't end here. Those of you have been enjoying the radio show. I'm going to stay in my 3 p.m. slot here live and throughout the summer I'll be on air every couple of weeks and then that means that the podcast will also be active all through the summer. Just a reminder that we're subscribable on iTunes and on Google Play or wherever you get your podcast. And just do the search for SUU APEX. All right so let's get talk in here to my guests. I've got two of my favorite ladies and what we're doing today is we're kind of doing a behind the scenes with APEX for the spring semester. Those of you who know me well know I love me some TV and I love watching series where there's this after show or the behind the scenes or the looking behind the curtain of sort of the inner workings of things and that's what we're doing with the show. I'd like to kind of do it every semester and kind of talk with some of my great great great awesome staff and friends about how we make this thing work and some memorable moments from the season. So what I'd like to do is for you guys to introduce yourselves and maybe talk a little bit about what you do for APEX Who'd like to go first. [00:02:28] I can start my name is Roxane Cailleux and I graduated last year from SUU with a communication degree and now I work for Lynn and I am the event planning assistant and I just work alongside Lynn and we organize everything. So for me what I do is from social media to managing the class because we have a convocation class so grading the students and making sure they are fine. I also take care of the food orders, catering facilities, all of that. [00:03:14] She does everything. Let me tell you this whole thing would not run without her. We like to say that she's like my right and left hand. I mean assistant is not even the word to describe it. You're definitely our producer and really you have a hand in every single aspect of what we do. Yeah a lot of e-mails every day that is true. What is your favorite aspect of your job. [00:03:39] I like the day of. Everything from in the morning when we get there to the end when we wrap up. It's my favorite thing to do because there's adrenaline I like seeing people in the audience react. And I like meeting the speaker who we've been working to get here for so long. And yeah just like that day. But I like everything that I do. [00:04:03] But yeah yeah we definitely like our office time together. [00:04:08] Mondays Greek Fries [00:04:10] Yeah. Greek fries in the office while we get everything done. Yep yep. Thanks Roxie. [00:04:17] All right. Katie tell us about yourself. [00:04:19] Hello my name is Katie Englert and I teach in the ESL program here at the American Language and Culture Center. And for APEX I take pictures so I do all the photography during the event. Some of you out there might have seen me trying to be nonchalant as I walk around and take pictures. [00:04:42] But I love having you with APEX because you have a really artistic eye. You know and I'd like to know like everybody to know a little bit about your background because you have an anthropology background so when you're looking at a subject you're looking with a very specific kind of lens. [00:05:00] Yeah my background is in both anthropology and photojournalism so I kind of started my career as a photojournalist and then moved into visual anthropology and culture anthropology and my master's studies. But yes so I'm I'm definitely looking observing. I try to keep that camera up to my eye 24/7 when I'm sure an event like apex. And I'm just trying to find that moment that will tell the story. So it's always a challenge because sometimes people who are speaking can be kind of hard to shoot because it's often just someone speaking at a podium. So I'm just trying to catch that moment that's in between to kind of give some humanity to the person that's speaking and tell the story. That's so cool [00:05:50] If I can add something. You've really elevated it from my point of view since I do social media. You've really elevated the social media aspect of APEX. Oh wow thank you. But it's become really nice looking. Every week we have really good pictures to post so I think people enjoy that. [00:06:08] Yeah I think one of the things that's so cool is that in addition to kind of the standard shots you know you're really going for some interesting and different shots and I really love that. I mean can you talk about some of those. [00:06:20] Yeah that's that's especially what I'm trying to find those those moments before the event happens. One of my favorite moments I think was with her when Jeff Bradybaugh was here and it was a moment while you were speaking introducing him and he was kind of to the left of you in the frame and he's like looking up at the PowerPoint. But it's just this nice light coming on his face and and the moment the composition just worked. And for me that was my favorite shot of the whole event even though it wasn't focused on him it was just the sense of him talking about him. But I'm just always looking for that kind of behind the scenes moment and because that adds to what he is talking about or the speaker is talking about in what everybody sees. And so thanks for the Yeah that's really nice. [00:07:14] You're really able to get kind of the feel of the event that way and that's one of the things that I've really enjoyed about your work. You know I had no idea that that photo was your favorite. And for those listening I mean we're talking about photographs but you can definitely check out all of our photographs by going to our Facebook page which is SUU APEX Events or just search for SUU APEX or they're all on the website which is suu.edu/apex and all of Katie's photos from the event. [00:07:45] So there and I had no idea that was one of your favorites [00:07:49] One of my favorites from like like before the actual event. And just because I felt like it came together in just a nice little moment that you know only maybe I saw. And yeah but hopefully it tells a bit about the scene. [00:08:03] Oh my gosh. So do you have any other favorite photos? That one of Susan Casey... [00:08:08] Yeah that was good. I like that. That was a nice moment too. She was interacting with someone that was buying her book. And again just trying to be in the right place at the right time. That's my goal. That's my job. And when I can do it successfully I'm happy. So got that one stands out. Some of lemon. ANDERSON Yeah and just performing. Those were always fun to shoot because again you're trying to get that emotion and that intensity from what the person is doing. [00:08:45] Was there anyone that was particularly was there any particular event that was more challenging to shoot from a from a fit of graphics and we'll talk about content later but from a photographic standpoint was there one that was more challenging the business. [00:08:59] One was a little bit of a challenge but I liked the challenge. Those are my favorite because I'm try again trying to get the best shot. But that was a challenge because it was a panel. So I was trying to move around and trying to get everybody in the same shot without it being boring or you know like a missed moment. So just waiting waiting and waiting for that moment to happen with five or six people in the same shot. So that can be tricky. And also just the lighting can be sometimes pretty dark in our room a lot of time. [00:09:31] What do you use. What kind of equipment. I mean I don't know much about this kind of thing. [00:09:37] My cameras rather old. I was just telling someone earlier today it's about 12 years old. Why did I use a Nikon 80. So for those of you photographers out there it's pretty old but I have an idea. 200 that is the lens I usually use especially when I'm far back and then 50 or 35 I think. So yeah I could definitely use some better gear but it'll you know it'll happen and you can do a lot. I've had those two lenses for 20 years and then they work pretty well. [00:10:10] Definitely working for us. How about you Roxy what's maybe more challenge. Is there a particularly challenging part of the day or of the event or something that you always know you have to kind of manage. [00:10:24] Probably the lunch Yeah I was going to say the lunch invites and I really try throughout the week because we get our RSVPs and everything so I try to make sure that we have everyone and then it's just a little it's a little scary for me to actually get to a lunch and then I'm just scared that someone is going to show up and be like. I RSVPd But I don't have them on my list and I have to make room for them. I have to tell them you have to go home. That's a little stressful for me. And then I try to anticipate as much as I can but I'm always nervous about just last minute problems like Chartwells is great but you know I'm always like is the team going to be there you know and stuff like that. Yeah. [00:11:12] Chartwells is our catering man. We've really had such great experiences with them this semester. We've tried some new different kinds of foods for the lunches and things like that and that's just been really fun. So yeah but you always want to make sure you know you do such a great job of anticipating my every need and sometimes I'm about to say and how about. And she's heard did it which is great. [00:11:37] So yeah it's easier if you just anticipate everything that could happen. That's what I learned from what I from I've been planning since I've started. And you just have to anticipate what could happen what's the worst that can happen that day. And then you always already have a backup plan. So if it actually happens then you know what to do and you don't have to freak out about it. And we don't need backup plans. So really really great. There's not a lot of times where something happens. [00:12:08] Yeah. I've been really thrilled with everything that way. OK. Going to a more sort of global thought Why do you think. You know we really believe in this series and I know you guys really believe in this series. But you know maybe talk a little bit about why do you think this series in particular or any speaker series like this is important to have on campus or why is it important to why do you think it's important to this community. [00:12:40] I think it's important for the students because we're in a university and it's all about learning and discovering new things and not staying in your comfort zone. So I think we're very lucky to have so many great people come to campus. And we're a rather small school and the fact that we can bring this type of people is is really impressive and it's really we're really lucky so the fact that the students can just show up for free every week and have a chance not only to hear what they have to say but also interact with them make connections. I mean I've seen students talk to the speakers and you know get their information. And so it's a really great thing to have on campus. I think it's very important to keep doing it. [00:13:30] That actually happened quite a bit just a couple of days ago with Dr. Bert Tisbury. You know she was giving out her phone number and you know all kinds of connections were happening and that's that really makes me happy. Katie what do you think. [00:13:44] I agree with everything you just said and just the diversity of this past year of the speakers that have come for Apex has just been truly remarkable and I feel really lucky. I mean I feel like to be a part of it as a shooter but I really feel lucky just to be a part of the audience and hear all of the different experiences that the speakers bring to the event and especially the diversity like like you said. And I like that we have people who are former alumni. We have people in the community. We have people from all walks of life all ethnicities diversity jobs. And I think it's just one of the best things about you that I just love. So it's very exciting to be a part of it. [00:14:30] Yeah that's definitely the diversity component has been something that we've been really from the design process really focusing on. And you know it it's not just bringing in a diverse environment from around that's certainly a key aspect of it. But like you said you know once a year we're featuring and then alumni and then we're bringing people from our community and our environment like off the cuff or the superintendent for design National Park and I think that you know continuing to showcase the just everything that's around us. [00:15:03] And then couple that with bringing people in is definitely a passion of mine and a goal for the series so I'm glad that that's been a meaningful part of it for you. Yeah that's great. Well I think what we'll do is we'll play a song now so I've got in my typical style Yeah. All kinds of things. I've been digging deep into this playlist. That's a bunch of kind of I guess emerging artists or perhaps new mostly new artists from the South by Southwest 2018 festival so I've got a few more from that. This first song is going to be called thanks 4 nothing. And it's by Nilufer Yanya and it's the title track from the album. Thanks for nothing. And again it was one of South by Southwest features and you can find it on Spotify or wherever you listen to music. You're listening to KSUU thunder ninety one point [00:19:03] Ok well welcome back. And this is Lynn Vartan and you're listening to KSUU ninety one point one and this is the apex hour and this is our kind of behind the scenes for this season's show. And I've got Katie and Roxie joining me and we're just kind of talking about how the season went down and some standout moments and just you know a little bit more about the inner workings of Apex the band. So welcome back Roxie and Katie Hello. [00:19:33] So what I'd like to do is kind of just talk about we had 11 events 11 or 12 1 2 3 4 5 6 8 9 10 11 11 events this spring and just kind of I'd like to just sort of remember them and maybe get a couple sentences from you about like your reflection or something you remember about it. We began the season the way our season works for anybody who doesn't know it's a weekly event series. During the course of the academic school year in the fall we start about the second week of September and run all the way up until Thanksgiving. Then we take a little break for the holidays retool. We begin in about the second week of January 2nd or third week and then go all the way through till the first week of April which is when we finish which is this week. So we began the season with our distinguished faculty lecture. What this event is is that there is opportunity for faculty members on campus to submit a written a paper presentation. That is original and that is adjudicated by a faculty committee that has nothing to do with APACS I'm not on the committee or none of our team is on the committee it's an internal university committee who goes over all of these proposals and then chooses one to be our faculty distinguished lecture and then we host that event where the faculty member reads their lecture. You may remember last year was Dr. Marbeck an art history and then this year our event was Dr. Ravi Roye and his talk was titled rebuilding public trust and democratic governance. The great political paradox you guys have any memories from that or thoughts about that one. [00:21:26] I know for me that the key that he brought up that I was really interested in was his opinion of the state and of democracy and where we move forward with democracy and that he's a little nervous about kind of the process of where we're going with democracy. Did you guys have any memories from that one. Yeah I remember I remember that although January seems like a long time ago now. But I remember thinking at the time when I was shooting it how great to hear what he's researching and what I remember as who is working on and just being really excited about that and not realizing at the time which again is why I think APECs is so amazing and that it brings speakers like Ravi to discuss the research and for the public to understand what they're working on. Yeah I think that's cool because I mean I you know you you see people's names and maybe you're on a committee with them. That's actually then really see what or hear what they're discussing is amazing anybody wants to know more about Dr. Roy's presentation. He was also our very first radio guest on the show. So you can definitely check out his talk with me on the podcast and we go over a lot of the things that he mentioned and and his thoughts. So yeah I'll move on to the next one. [00:22:57] Did you have anything to say about [00:22:59] Just for me. It was kind of a special one from an event standpoint as you said. You know we had our first radio show with him and I think that's when we changed the seating to theater. And I just I really liked that and yeah just the first one of the season is always kind of special. So. [00:23:19] That's right. That was when we did the seating change and other behind the scenes tidbit wearing a very large conference hall and it's a really cool room but we always had just one aisle down the center. And actually we changed it so that we had multiple aisles so there's actually four different entry points kind of four aisles the two on the outer edges and then two in the middle which makes it really easy for people to kind of get in and get seated especially late comers. You don't have to feel like you're climbing over everybody in the movie theater that type of thing so cool. All right our next one was the SUUSA roundtable was a state of the Union and I called it where we had several of our Southern Utah University centers and just discussing different topics on campus and just kind of seeing what our young leaders are doing. This one. You know I'm not sure if we're going to make it an annual event or not. You know but it was really important I think to have the senators there and to kind of hear what their what the topics of interest to them are and kind of how they're looking at leadership. Did you guys have any memories from that one. [00:24:28] I can't believe this was the second event that we did. It feels like yesterday. It's so weird that it was the second. Yeah. But I thought it was a different event than what we usually do. And I liked having them there. And for me when I was a student I never really knew what SUUSA was doing. So I think it's really good for everyone to have been able to listen to them and see what they're actually working on. And yeah and I was really happy about the turnout attendance wise because I was a little worried about it. Some people just don't show up but it was really I think we got about 100 people a little bit less but that was really that's a surprise too I think to everybody and it turned out really well so yeah. [00:25:18] And that one within our smaller room we sometimes do events in the waiting room which is a smaller room and it's about a 100 120 capacity and yeah we had quite a few people at that one. [00:25:29] Just to add to what Roxie said. I think it was just great to have them their presence in a forum like APEX and how articulate everyone on that panel was really impressed with the panel and again it just made me really appreciate you and the students that are here and representing Southern Utah. And yeah I just was really impressed with without having gone. [00:25:58] Well that was January and then we move on to February and we began our event with our meet the business building which is you know a real special event for this year. It's kind of one of these once in a lifetime once because I mean new buildings don't go up every day on campus and we have this amazing brand new business building that's that's coming up. And this event was all dedicated to the making of that building. We had facilities we had the architects coming here the the contractors the business Dean spoke and that was kind of a roundtable discussion and one of the things that really stood out to me and maybe you guys feel the same way as the artist was I didn't [00:26:41] There was going to be some really cool art in that building that really reflect our natural landscape. Glasswork that's going to reflect off of the light and all these things and there's going to be a lot of social areas in that building and outdoor areas. I was really excited learn about that. [00:27:00] Yeah it was really amazing to see all those parts come together in that one for. And they had slides to kind of show what the business building is going to look like both inside and I think outside. Yeah and Yeah. Again another kind of local event that's very much a part of who you and the future of us which is just exciting. I was really excited to be a part of it. Roxie do anything about that. You don't have I mean you guys don't have to talk on every single one. Just say no if you don't that's fine [00:27:32] just the fact that I mean our office is right next to it. We see the construction every day and we just want to see it it's going to be in there and I was never a business like student. But I our current one can have some improvements. I'm really happy that students will have that opportunity to study somewhere like that. And it's it looks great. I mean I'm excited. [00:27:55] Yeah yeah. Well moving along on February 8th we had Emily Graslie and wow what a treat she was. I mean Emily Graslie has a youtube channel called The Brain scoop and it's just the absolute YouTube sensation and she she works the brains Scroope out of the Field Museum in Chicago. One of the big natural history museums in the nation and her story from from art painter in Montana to YouTube sensation scientist who goes all over the world you know inspecting fossils and dissecting animals and everything was just amazing and her talk was titled The value of curiosity. Memories from that one. [00:28:43] Yeah for me I really liked her because when we prepared the events we only have like a couple of pictures of the speaker and I can't help just making my own opinion and just expecting some kind of personality or like the way they're going to be. And she really surprised me because she always looks so sweet in her picture. And she is really sweet but I was pleasantly so surprised, she was very confident and she's very kind of feisty and I we she was really fun and I really enjoyed her talk. And the fact that she came from a completely different background than what she's doing now I thought that was crazy and also the fact that she's on YouTube is a really cool thing because it's become a really big platform especially for my generation and students here at SUU So it was really nice to have someone who comes from there. [00:29:35] Yeah I agree. I think what really stood out to me about her aside from what she actually does for her living is that she was a painter and then just was interested in going to the museum on her campus that the museum was like a very small room like things just packed up. And she made that into a career and it was really like inspiring and I thought like I thought if I was a student I mean as a as a grown adult professional I was really inspired and it just shows how you might start out somewhere in your career or in your major. And then how it can lead into other things and how exciting and successful she was and again very articulate strong passionate woman.And we had a lot of those was exciting to be around [00:30:28] Until March really started. but let's get a guy in there. February 15th we had our day in the life series where we bring someone in to talk about what their life is like. And this was Jeff Bradybaugh who is currently the Zion National Park Superintendent. And I just thought he was a delight one really just delightful delightful person and packed event in our smaller room and we were overflow we had like project we had to have the audio in the lobby so that the overflow could hear. That was just amazing. Yeah anything to add. [00:31:05] I think so. I know a lot of teachers in the ALCC we try to bring our students over to the apex events and that was a big one for students I think because they know where Zion is they can go there and to to hear someone from Taiwan it's involved with what goes on in Zion speak and talk was really great for them as well as myself like being relatively new to southern Utah. It was just great to hear his perspective and kind of how his journey came to be at Zion and some of the things that they're looking forward in the future. So it was really really great. And I love that picture I took. [00:31:45] It was well and then moving on we'll get one more before we take our next break. We could talk all day now and this was a very special event and it may maybe some people's favorite of the season. This was our Claudia Bradshaw event. Claudia Bradshaw is just a wonderful mother figure to us all is kind of how we came out of that and her talk was titled My journey into a new world and it was really about. She is the St George P. flag founder and a real ally to our LGBTQ plus family and it was just her story and special treat that her son was able to travel here from Chicago. So I'm sure you have something to say. Yeah I loved this one too. I loved that both her son and daughter were there and got to comment on when her son came out to her and kind of that family journey that they went through. And hell being in southern Utah that was hard and some of the pushback they got. But the thing that really stood out to me about Claudia is she is all about love and and that's it. Like I think of her and I remember leaving that event and just thinking she didn't have a negative thing to say about anything or anyone. And that is remarkable. Like you I haven't come across a lot of people in my life that doesn't have something negative to say everyone's right. So yeah right. [00:33:22] So it was just amazing to be in her presence and hear her talk talk about her family's story and her son and her daughter being there and being a part of that. So that was a real treat. And I loved shooting them. They were for tugger photo photographing them I should watch my verbiage when I say shooting out the way through and then before we go to break I asked our journalist Billy Clouse our journalist and blogger and those of you who follow us on online and and look at our archive. You see his reflections every week of the event. I asked him did one event stand out to you. And if so why. And here's what he had to say. [00:34:08] A lot of really cool things that APEX had. And I remember Emily Graslie especially fun for me because she started out as a Fine Arts major and they kind of transitioned into science fulling her passions. And I think it's really cool to be involved in so many different things. But I think my favorite of all the events really had to be the keynote address given by Dr. Perry. She's such a driven person. She was so happy and fun and they couldn't stop smiling throughout the event and to her story is just so inspirational. [00:34:43] Yes so that was Billy's opinion and you heard him mention Emily and we'll definitely talk about Dr. Berry I think a little bit more but time for some more music. And I have to apologize because the last song that you heard was not thanks 4 nothing. It was actually causing trouble by Saint sister. Now you're going to hear. Thanks 4 nothing. And again just our station I.D. This is KSUU Thunder ninety one point one and you are listening to the APEX hour. [00:37:57] All right we'll I'm going to bring you back here to the apex hour because we were just talking in the studio about how much more we all have to say. So this is KSUU thunder ninety one point one. My name is Lynn Vartan and I am joined in the studio with Roxie and Katie and we're talking about APEX. We left off at the beginning of March. And from you know these last five events that we had were just amazing. March 1st was Elizabeth Churchill who is one of the directors of user experience at Google. And she talked about human interactions human computer interaction over the ages. And it's hard to say a favorite but I don't know. She was like my she's like my hero sister yes soul sister. That's totally. I wasn't expecting to connect with her on the level. I mean I'm a musician and she works at Google but man that's and that's one of my favorite of the radio shows and the podcast too. Would you guys think I was excited about her because she's one of the biggest ones. Like she's I think one of the first marginality that we got. [00:39:07] I just was a little I don't know I didn't know what to expect but she was so sweet and so I just loved how generous she was with everyone that she interacted with and for people who only go to the lecture listen to the radio may not know but we also do class visits with the speakers usually. And she came. She went to so many and she was so she just shared a lot with people and she was just willing to help and I just really liked her. I like how she interacted with students. Especially Yeah yeah. [00:39:43] Yeah I agree I got to sit in one of her classes and she just seemed really at ease and able to communicate with anybody and got students talking and it was good. It's good to hear that. [00:39:56] So true she got she. I felt like I could put her in a group of anyone and come out with some amazing thing that just happened. So that was really cool. On March 8th we had Jen Marlowe another you know somebody who I did not know at all. Both Dr. Churchill and Jen Marlowe were were ones that were brought by other faculty members to me to have as guests. And so I didn't know what to expect with Jen and she's a film maker playwright her reflections on resistance from Palestine to Darfur to death row and man was there. There was not a dry eye. There was an intensity her event needed to be to. Like she showed three different projects that she had worked on and yeah she was amazing. I think again just so great that our students have access to people like Jen and Elizabeth and all of these speakers. Yeah yeah. [00:40:58] Powerful Yeah we had are in a different venue than usual and I think we were all a little nervous about the turnout but I think it just worked perfectly for her because it was so intimate. And she was able to really connect with the audience. And yeah I talked to her afterwards and I was like I don't know how you talk about this on a daily basis and like just do this for a living. And she was just like you have to focus on the positive that comes out of it. And I think that was a really nice thing and I just really like her and I I did cry a lot. [00:41:32] Her presentation is in the archive and up and unavailable so if you want to check it out and see what we're talking about it's definitely there. Then we had kind of our final push we had spring break in there so we had a week off and then and then we moved to the end of our like power to the end and we had Susan Casey come in and wow. [00:41:54] I was so impressed with her and I love those. I have probably three images of the brains because I just was so fascinated by the brains of there were whales and dolphins dolphins and what she was talking about just the science behind that was just amazing and how passionate she was about the topic it just really was inspiring like ice and passion and you know her books are so good so good. Yes [00:42:24] She was kind of like Emily in a sense that she didn't come from you know a science background. She's a writer. But I really like the fact that she just followed what she wanted to do and just decided to live from her passion and that was really inspiring. Also my favorite shot from you is the one you took when she was book signing. [00:42:45] Her expression it's just such a perfect blend of her and how she. I mean the passion and then the innocence then let [00:42:53] It just captured exactly who she is and how I saw her love it. [00:42:58] I really appreciated to like because we were able to talk to her at the lunch and she talked a lot about her next projects and how much research goes into that and just gave you a little bit more information. Also a great podcast everybody can listen to. She was great on the radio. And then our last two which which is just barely happened we had our art students roundtable and that was just a really fun probably going to be an annual event for us. We always have a big senior art show in our museum in town. [00:43:32] And to have a few of those seniors and talking about their art and what inspires them and how they do what they do and what they want to do in the future as artists I think that was really fun. So very very much so. It's always good to hear from students when they're working on and their ideas behind their art projects and finals. So yeah. [00:43:54] And last but not least was our keynote speaker. Very very. And Mandy you know where everybody had their emotions on their sleeve. This one was just laughing and smiling the whole time. I mean and another big message of love yeah yeah yeah go ahead. [00:44:14] I just I mean the thing that really stood out amongst many things with parties was that she talked about her life in a way that was funny. And she was able to talk a laugh and get people to laugh. And I always think that presenters or comedians are really if they can look at their own life experiences and laugh and get the audience to laugh about them but not in a negative way. It's just a positive thing and she just did that the whole time and again so inspirational a great way to end a packed series. Yeah. Yeah I just yeah. [00:44:54] I thought she was great for the festival of excellence. There's one thing she said that I wrote down when you walk with purpose you collide with destiny. And I thought I was like whoa. And I just think she impersonates that and she's like the living example that you can actually do that because everywhere everyone she would talk to even after she was like working with them.. purposeful. Yeah. [00:45:17] When you walk with purpose you collide with destiny. That's definitely an amazing part. That is her mission and that's her vision statement and it absolutely works. Well speaking of quotes I asked Billy one of the questions I asked Billy was that is there something that someone said that was particularly memorable to you that you still remember now. And here's how he answered that question. [00:45:42] Anderson was talking about success. He said that you have to love the process of what you're doing because you don't always get results you necessarily want. So you really have to love what you're doing. If you like as a student especially someone studying graphic design that can happen where there's a particular project that you love but nobody else really gets that they think you should take out. And even though the end result may not be exactly what you envisioned the press is going from nothing and creating a project is really fun. And that's kind of helped me just whenever there's criticism or things don't quite go as planned. Remember the process that I love what I'm doing and that makes it better in the end. [00:46:25] That was Billy Clouse our journalist and blogger talking about something that someone said this year that really had a powerful impact on him and he was speaking about. Lemon Anderson who was our first guest in the fall talking about the process. [00:46:41] Other memories do you guys have or maybe we should say. Do you have a favorite. Could you identify or is that just too hard to do. [00:46:49] I think it's really hard to point to one specific event that stands out. I thought they all were amazing. I'm really glad that we had the 1491s I had followed them. I've been following them for years so to see them in person was amazing. And off the cuff comedy was really great. The performance ones really seem to stick out to me. Lemon there indefinitely. And then all these the spring all these spring women in particular that. And that just happened by accident. You know somebody asked me you know did you really intend to have a very female centric spraying. And I mean with everything that's going on right now you know in terms of women's rights and me too and pay equity and all of these things it actually was not intentional you know I look at as a good thing. It was just this was this this connection of this collection of topics that we wanted at this time and it just so happened that it happened to be that way with which I was happy about you know but it wasn't an intentional thing but it ended up being powerful nonetheless. [00:48:00] Do you have a favorite Roxy. [00:48:01] It's really hard. But I think my favorite still is Glen and Loire from last fall. They were just so amazing and just loved their duo and their vibe and how warm they were with everyone and all their class visits were very special and they loved sharing with student I think it was their favorite part of their trip and I just loved every single part of of their visit here. [00:48:30] I'm so glad you mentioned them because they were one of my favorites too. They were my favorite one of my faves to shoot. Yeah I listen to. Oh yeah. And you can definitely check them out in the archive. There are videos posted so feel free to have a look. I love their music. [00:48:46] I don't think I can even say a favorite because I just fell in love with everybody I think so. On that note let's play my last little song that I have for you today. This song is called Dia D and the group is Gato Preto and the album is called Tempo. This is KSUU ninety one point one [00:51:15] All right so I could totally listen to that song all day. But we've got things to say here. This is Lynn Vartan. Welcome back to the apex hour. That song that you were just listening to is called Dia D Gato Preto on the album tempo we're talking about our apx season and I want to come back with a question for Roxie and Katie. Is there just another memory or another moment that you would like to share with us. [00:51:44] I think for me and I think we touched on this a little bit already but I think my favorite part of all of APEX was just laughing and crying during the last one during her tierces just it was a very emotional experience. And I just I love laughing and I'm just I think the more laughter in my life. I think a lot of people need a lot more laughter in their life these days. And it was just great to end with with her and to just very personable. [00:52:19] Roxy [00:52:19] It's not as deep as you but this one time. So Jordan who's on tour in Southern Cal yeah he's amazing. I just loved working with him. Yeah like in general but this one time Maria Hinojosa was doing her soundcheck and she was just like very comfortable and he was putting the mic on her and she was just like oh yeah just clip it to my bra [00:52:48] And we should say Jordan is a music major does graphic design for us. And then pitches in on sound so you know putting my guess is not exactly his day to day. He's very uncomfortable and that is just really cute. His cheeks got very red. Well I also asked Billy this question and here is what he had to say throughout this season. [00:53:11] I was kind of shocked by how much fun everything was. I'm not a very outdoorsy person but I still enjoyed those events that talked about that. And I really enjoyed the arts events because that's something I'm interested in. But I feel like no matter what was going on it still was interesting because it never really went to the extreme details of whatever section that topic was on it was enough to kind of you know cover something that everyone was interested in. So even when there was detailed stuff they always made an effort to make it accessible to the entire audience which I thought was really cool. [00:53:54] All right that was Billy Clouse our journalist and blogger talking about what was a memory of the season for him. It's time for us to do our favorite part of the show and everybody loves it. What is turning you on this week so Roxy what is turning you on this week [00:54:13] For me. I love Netflix it's a little addiction of mine but [00:54:17] I think all of us have it. [00:54:19] I've been obsessed with narcos the show on Netflix. Yeah it's amazing. And I just I started it because I wanted to practice my Spanish. Yeah I'm very just interested in like the whole narco trafficking it's kind of weird but I really like that and it's just I was taken aback by how good it is and it's very high quality. The actors are really good and it's just a lot of action and passion [00:54:52] And are you all caught up to date. [00:54:54] Finished last night actually last night I. [00:54:58] Oh well we'll definitely check that out. I'm only in the first season on that one Katie. How about you. What's turning you on. [00:55:05] Well anybody who has touched me in the last two months knows I'm really into chickens right now. So we got seven chickens about a month and a half ago. And so my favorite thing in the world is at the end of the day or in the afternoon when I go home and just sitting out in the yard watching the lives of these seven little chickens and what they're doing and chasing worms and grapes and so that's so that's where my head is when I'm not here. What a beautiful way to spend the afternoon. It is nice weather. [00:55:39] That's great. Well I want to say thank you. We're out of time I want to say thank you so much to both of you to Katie who takes amazing photos for us and it's just such a great supportive part of our team. So thank you so much for being here today and for everything you've done for us. My pleasure and I love I love working with Apex. Can't wait till next season. Me too I can't wait. We'll probably have to do a teaser in the summer and then Roxy. Both of my hands not just my right hand but my right hand and my left hand and most of my brain most of the time.

[00:00:03] Hey everyone. This is Lynn Vartan and you're listening to the apex hour on SUU's Thunder ninety one point one in this show you get more personal time with the guests who visit Southern Utah University from all over. Learning more about their stories and opinions beyond their presentations on stage. We will also give you some new music to listen to and hope to turn you on to new genres. You can find us here every Thursday at 3:00 p.m. on the web at suu.edu/apex or email us at suuapex@icloud.com. But for now. Welcome to this week's show here Thunder ninety one point one [00:00:50] Hi everyone. So this is Lynn Vartan and I am still in Los Angeles so that means this is another best of show. It's actually spring break on campus. But never fear. I have some clips for you. We're going to start with Emily Graslie the great scientist and YouTube sensation who was on campus in February. Listen in. Here you go. [00:01:11] I Want to start by kind of spending this first bit talking about how you came to be who you are today which is such a great story and I know you talked a little bit about it earlier but if you could kind of give us another version of that painter turned scientist story. I would love to hear it. Yeah. So I won't go into all of the details but essentially I was studying landscape painting at the University of Montana in Missoula. [00:01:37] I enrolled in 2007 and for the first about three years that I was there was really heavily focused on landscape painting as my as my source of inspiration and what I was going to do my senior thesis project on for my BFA. And it wasn't until I learned about the campus Zoological Museum which is known as the Philip Allwright Zoological Museum that I really started to turn my attention toward why these museums exist why these research collections are a part of a campus like that who they serve what their role is and then how I could become involved in. So essentially I turned my last semester of college into an internship where I could draw the specimens within the collection and then just gradually became more and more involved in the day to day operations of the museum learning about how the specimens were cataloged and organized but also how how he obtained them you know what research projects they were associated with. And then I was volunteering the preparation lab to actually help process and prepare some of these specimens for the research collection which was a pretty interesting experience going from you know just landscape painting to you know dissecting roadkill for Montana Fish Wildlife and Parks. Did it ever gross you out because I mean I know some people I mean you came from a painting background so maybe it's the cause I know you also grew up on a farm or near farmland that did it ever. Gross You Out. I think it's just been more of a morbid fascination more than anything. Especially when you know a lot of the gross out factor associated with things like specimen preparation. It's more of like a cultural stigma than it is like a natural thing so. [00:03:26] So what we've learned through the program that I do now my YouTube show the brain scoop is actually the younger the viewers are the less biased they have toward these sort of things. It's more of like a cultural and societal pressure that we put on kids girls especially once they're past the age of 8 or 9 to really enforce that gross factor. Don't touch that or that's nasty. Like a lot of the natural inquisitiveness is kind of stifled and so you know once I started learning about the value of these research collections and how I could contribute to growing them and making having a small role in a significant scientific discovery it just. I mean yes sometimes it smells kind of bad and you're dealing with like gross hydrogen peroxide and dealings overkilled but if you can get a sight all those things get really interesting. Yeah. I mean did you did you learn the process. I mean I didn't mean to initially start talking about dissection so much but I'm kind of fascinated by it as the day goes on. Did you have to learn like the exact procedures because it's very tough. I mean that's very step by step right. Or mean how did all that knowledge come. Did somebody show you. Did you read it. Yeah. So so I started volunteering in this museum after I did my internship. I graduated from college and I kept volunteering in the museum and it was a friend of mine who introduced me to the collection who was actually one of the first people to help train me in specimen preparation. [00:04:57] And it happened because the day she showed me to this research collection which I should also clarify. This museum does not have public exhibits purely behind the scenes 24000 specimens mostly northern Rocky Mount Rocky Mountain mammals and birds and and so there was a number of Montana natural heritage projects and Fish and Wildlife projects that they would collect about your specimens and then deposit them in this museum for preparation and volunteers who were part of the wildlife bio programs or the ecology programs at the University Montana would help prepare them. And so she was one of these volunteers in the prep lab and she brought me in. We walked into the prep lab and she handed me this Ziploc bag that had like a soggy mouse in it. The mouse the mouse story the mouse story with the label this informational label about where it was collected when what time of year what the habitat was like the sex of the animal. And this was all part of a larger study looking at the distribution of rodents across western Montana to see at what point of elevation they were occurring. And if that that point of elevation was changing were they going higher you know due to climate change impacting the average median average temperatures of the northern Rocky Mountains. Anyway she hands me this this western jumping mouse Zappa’s princeps is the scientific name and she she asked Do you want to prepare this. And I said Oh no. you know me I deal with paint brushes like this is not my thing. And she's like No I’ll teach you how to do it. [00:06:32] She's like you know did you ever take homework in middle school and I was like yeah she's like you know you do a sewing project where you stitch things together. And I was like yeah she's a guest the same thing. And I was like that remains to be seen but OK. But she walked me through the process of making the first incision and separating the skin from the muscle tissue and removing the bones in a specific order. And you know after about 30 minutes I had I had skin this mammal and had the body separated from the rest of it from the tide. And then you create a little armature out of cotton and wire and a little small dowel and essentially put that back inside of the body and then you pin it onto a board. And it's it's called a study skin. So it's not meant to look like a live taxidermy animal like it was in life but it now it's a research specimen and that to me the most important part of that whole process was that I got to sign my name on the label for this specimen as a source of accountability mostly of a scientist in the future was going to look at this mouse and be like this thing is prepared really weird who's responsible for this. Emily Graslie no Christian name but to me it was almost like I guess I felt a stronger sense of gratification signing my name on that mouse than I ever had signing my name on a piece of artwork. No way. Fascinate was it. It was overwhelming. And I think it's because I mean the seemingly inconsequential mouse was going to be part of a larger history is going to be bigger than myself. [00:08:00] It's part of a research project that's been going on for decades. You know I contributed to science and it wasn't just this whole like kind of existential moment for me where I was like art you seems so selfish and self you know interested and yet here was the way I felt like I could make some kind of tiny positive contribution to my community I could be a part of the history of western Montana. And this all you know from a dead man. And it was really an it came from a Ziploc bag and I came from a Ziploc bag you know and it was really a moment of revelation for me because I went home that night and I didn't tell anybody what I had done. I I I don't think I talked to any my friends for a week because I thought for sure I was so like a sociopath like sociopath or something like a psychopath. Like what kind of person is so fascinated in like taking an animal inside out. And so I really didn't want to talk about it for a long time and started just you know continuing to volunteer in the museum and becoming more and more interested in it. And that's partially why I started documenting the process is almost like seeking validation from anybody. Right. Like my friends or family and they're like Emily that's weird like you don't want to see your dead animal pictures on our Facebook and so instead I started posting them on tumblr and which was a blog site. [00:09:18] I don't know if people still use tumblr today but I had started a blog after that documenting not just the preparation process but a lot of the artwork I was creating in the museum and some of the other projects we were doing and I found an online community like I found a digital community of other museum volunteers or other art majors who wanted to find their own museum collection to volunteer or even people who were you know amateur taxidermists who wanted to help bring some of these animals back to life. And so I built up a following of about 10000 people who started regularly reading my blog about the museum and eventually that that blog helped to develop the web series that I have now with the Field Museum in Chicago. Yeah that is amazing that that moment that you discuss with the changeover and feeling about putting your name on it. Do you does find it to be an artistic project process or do you feel that it's different than the artistic process. Well I would say creating study skins. It helps if you have a background in art. I think you know if you ask any or look at any of the volunteers or interns that we have at the Field Museum specifically a number of them have backgrounds in our. And I think a lot of that has to do with hand eye coordination right. Attention to detail. I ended up teaching or being the teacher for the vertebrate Ostalgie class for graduate students at the University of Montana for a semester because as an art major you're taught to hone your observation skills. [00:10:43] And so when you're teaching graduate archaeology students how to differentiate certain kinds of animal bones whether they're trying to identify them from a faunal assemblage of you know a native tribe that lived in that area 10000 years ago or if it's sometimes we would work with the Montana crime lab and the police department and they would find a Barebone or someone would bring them a limb bone and they find in the middle of the woods and sometimes these hikers would think like I think this is a human arm or did this belong to a child or something and so they take it to our comparative collection and I got to work with the Montana crime lab to as of like a forensic geologist to help them identify where this animal was coming from and we never had a human. It was always like a ham bone. Yeah a bear bone or something like that but I was able to do that because of my background in art and being able to understand that you know morphological differences or the shape or the size differences between different vertebrate species. That's amazing. That's fascinating. I love it. Ok cool. So you got to kind of be like a forensic scientist in a way also like a sleuth. Yeah kind of. You know I was mostly just a facilitator. I was working with the curator of the museum at the time Dave Dyer who was you know really had the background in mythology and asked geology but he taught me a lot. And you know it was really fun to look at some of these cases and he would put out quizzes and you know kind of test your knowledge. It was a really fun game but it was also you know had important educational implications to it as well. That's so interesting. [00:12:14] I know that also in the dissection of animals used to be a requirement in a lot of school programs and then sort of went away and maybe is how do you feel about that being in schools now do you think that's a really important part of the science pedagogy. Well I think it depends on the learner. Ultimately it depends on who it is you're working with as a student. I know from myself personally had I had more opportunities to do more hands on learning experience experiments when I was in middle and high school. I might have felt a little bit more empowered to think that oh science is something that I can do or I can use my observational skills in this way whereas in my educational background growing up in rapid city South Dakota you know we just a lot of it just immediately went to like standardized tests. Right. And now you know naming diagrams and really took a lot of the creativity out of it. From my perspective so I think there's a true value in getting kids to be hands on especially when it comes to things like that. Gross out stigma sort of thing like if you can perpetuate a culture of curiosity and inquisitiveness rather than one that is just wanting to you know make things from the natural world seem as though there are other foreign or alien or bad or gross or weird you know anything that just fosters the the genuine question asking and answering seeking motivations behind it I think is worth supporting. All right well that's a little bit about your back story. [00:13:47] We're going to take a little musical break and when we come back we'll talk a little more about brain scoop with the awesome Web show that you have and also your work at the field museum. So you know me on the show I like to introduce you to different music. The first song we're going to listen to is called Eye to Eye. And it's by Jordan Rakei on the album Wildflower and you are listening to KSUU thunder ninety one point one. I'd like to turn our discussion to the brain scoop. Can you tell us a little bit about how it got started. I know you talked this morning but just for anybody who's listening to just a quick bit of how it kind of got started and then the transfer over to Chicago. [00:18:34] Yes so after I started this blog where I was posting kind of our day to day work on and on about the Zoological Museum at the University of Montana I ended up meeting this man named Hank Green and he's probably best known for being half of the YouTube series vlogbrothers he and his brother John Green are they've been making videos on YouTube for well over ten years now and Super fame. Yeah yeah. I mean it's kind of ridiculous to try and summarize like everything they do because they're such important roles and like the Internet education and just like positive support network community online. But anyway Hank happened to live in Missoula Montana where I was living at the same time. And we ended up getting connected because he was launching a new educational series called Crash Course and they were doing a video about the vertebrate skeleton. So it made a lot of sense for him to come. Actually he reached out to see if he could come film it in the collection. I was volunteering it and I was over the moon are so excited. And so that's how I met Hank and he and I kind of talked on and off over a couple of months and eventually he came back to the museum in sort of long story short I gave him a tour of the collection which he uploaded on there Vlogbrothers channel. You can still watch it today. It's called. Oh she what is that video called thoughts from dead animals. That's what it's called. It's the thoughts from places they do the series called thoughts from places and this was thoughts from the museum so he called it thoughts from dead animals. But anyway you know the response to it was so overwhelming it's nothing like I've ever seen. [00:20:04] I mean in a couple of days it had been watched a quarter of a million times and the overwhelming majority of comments on the video were just like you know we want to see more of Emily and we want to see more the museum and you should give her only her own channel and so just a couple days later he he emailed me and I'll never forget getting that email because he just basically said well people like this would you want to me would you want to have your own YouTube channel I'd help you get it started and I was completely blown away because at that time you know I was recently unemployed like didn't really wasn't the right thing wasn't going super well for me and I would just kind of trying to get into like a Masters museum studies program and figure out what I wanted to do and this was a I thought a great opportunity. I had no expectation for what would happen with it. Had you ever been on the radio or TV or performed. I mean I know you play the violin but had you ever done any of that kind of thing like been on my before. Well not not to that degree no. I mean I took children's theatre you know and I did some drama performances in high school but I was also like a nerdy kid with a mouthful of braces so act like I'd mostly like ran the lights because I couldn't enunciate on stage at all. [00:21:23] And I had done some promo video stuff from the museum but like never really was coached in it you know and and so Hank came to me and he's like wow you know all you can work with one of our producers Michael Aranda and we'll get you started with some basic equipment but then he left the country for a month to go on tour with his brother John to promote the fault in our stars so that John's Young Adult author and so Hank just kind of left me and Michael and left us to our own devices and when he got back like our channel had just blown up. That's amazing. To what do you attribute. I mean you're so comfortable and so charismatic onscreen. I mean is it just the passion for your subject is it just the curiosity to what do you attribute it. Well I would say the passion and the curiosity certainly but like that has to be fostered and just the vote of confidence from somebody like Hank Green. Like someone who has done this who has been doing this who has like founded in established educational programs that had millions of subscribers and he and his brother were then and are still now some of the best known names in like online education for that person to just email you after knowing you for a week and say like I think you'd be good at this and just knowing that they probably don't tell other people that everyday. Yeah it was like you know. AFT I'm a big Hamilton fan now but it's sort of one of those things where you like I'm not throwing away my shot and I just decided like I don't know what this is going to go but I know I'm not going to take just half ass. So we went I just gave it my all and and just kind of went for it. [00:23:03] It sounds like you are that way as a person though. I mean when you do something you go all in. Like you're not just going to volunteer in a museum and bide your time you're going to try to organize the collection. And I mean that kind of. Go get it. This must also be intrinsically and you I do have a lot of grit and that was definitely the case with me and my art program like you know you're supposed to start working on your senior thesis painting before your spring semester right. And and I was already conceptualizing what I wanted to do like the summer before my senior year. And so you know I've just always I've just always had a lot of pride in being a hard worker. Like when I was in high school I got my first job when I was 14 and so I've always worked hard at and I've always put in the hours. But to me like that's what's so gratifying about it is knowing that you really have done your best and put your best foot forward. And so working on a YouTube channel that had an audience that had potential that was going to help me bring this museum that I'd already spent two years trying to bring to the public just like I'm going to go for it. I love it. That's awesome. So now it went before and before I get to Chicago. [00:24:17] For anybody who may be listening and not familiar with the brain scoop how would you describe how would you describe the brain scoop in like two sentences if you had to the brain scoop is an educational YouTube channel that aims to share the behind the scenes work in collections and research with anybody with the world so perfect. Yeah that's great. Well and of course for those of you who may be interested and not familiar with it just google it and you can find tons and tons of videos in a wide variety of different types of subjects and different angles different locations and we can get into that too. So now the brains group is how's the back brain scoop is housed in Chicago in the field museum and tell me about what life is like there. Yes we've been doing the brain scoop for a couple of months before we started to receive quite a bit of media attention. So we'd been written about by NPR Scientific American. There was like a no in a blog from now geographic like is it incredible for me. And eventually we gain the attention of the Field Museum in Chicago and I got invited out to kind of do some videos with them and after a couple of days they just sat me down in this conference room and basically I said like we'd like to bring you on board here and bring your channel with you. And that was amazing to me as someone who just aspired to work in a museum someday in any capacity to have this new position created for me. I mean I have the job title now as chief curiosity correspondent. So that was an amazing experience and so we brought the brain scoop to the Field Museum in July of 2013 and I've been there ever since so about four and a half years now. That's so cool yeah. [00:26:04] What's a typical day in the life like for you. Well to be honest the typical day is not that exciting because you don't believe it. Well it's a lot of like there's so much planning involved and there's so much like production timelines and scheduling and like there is quite a bit of paperwork and budgeting and you know that kind of back and stuff. But but the really special days are when we get to go out in the field or when we get to interview scientists and so just a couple of weeks ago we ended up filming in Berlin Germany at the Museum of Natural History there. And so it was three months of planning and organizing and everything. But once we're there I mean I got to you know got to see one of the best most iconic fossils of all time the Archaeopteryx specimen which is most of the famous most of the transitional species between birds and dinosaurs like it is wow a famous fossil. I got to be in the historic bird collection at the museum there and the museum for Netter kinda was established in 1814 so this museum is over 200 years old and has endured two world wars so isn't it one of the oldest. It must be it's one of the oldest collections. Yeah and certainly you know the building itself was built in the 1980s. But a day like that is just like you're looking at specimens and a collection that are simultaneously Lake scientifically important but also the witnesses to history like the whole eastern wing of this building was completely destroyed by allied bombing in 1945. [00:27:39] And so you're standing in a reconstructed wing of this institution and just thinking about those decades and centuries of history. I mean those are the kind of moments that are really live for and it doesn't matter that I had to spend three months of like paperwork and figuring out import permits for camera equipment or whatever else like you know once you're there you really try to appreciate those moments. Sounds pretty magical. It's it's pretty cool. Well it's time for another musical break. The next piece that I'd like to show you is a piece called Nomada and that's by Kaleema and it's on the album Nomada. And you are listening to the apex hour on Thunder ninety one point one Suu welcome back. This is Lynn Vartan and you're listening to the apex hour here on KSUU you thunder ninety one point one. Today's show is a best of show that bit that you were just listening to was from February and that was when we had the awesome scientist and YouTube sensation and founder of the coolest YouTube channel Brain Scoop Emily Graslie was here with us in February talking about her life and all of her awesome activities and travels. But now we're going to turn our attention to the outdoors. SUU is outdoors nation. And so in the studio. Also in February I was joined with Bridget Eastep and Kevin Koontz talking about all the awesome possibilities that we have here on campus for students faculty staff and community members that have to do with the outdoors. Have a listen. And I want to rejoin our conversation talking about our cool partnership program that's called semester in the park. [00:33:02] So Kevin I think you're going to tell us about that this semester in the parks program. It's again pretty unique to Southern Utah University. I like to think of it as kind of a study abroad but rather than going abroad the students get to live at Bryce Canyon. They get to work at one of the resorts close to there and during the course of the semester they're able to visit all of our surrounding parks and monuments and different public lands. And they have a course load that kind of incorporates the theme the themes of public lands and preservation conservation stewardship and just kind of kind of honing those outdoor skills altogether. It's 15 credit. So it's an entire. I mean as we said it's semester in the park. So how does that work in terms of their normal course start. So you said it's like a study abroad. So does it do they just kind of take that semester. And this is that semester. So it sort of replaces a semester in a way. Yeah. All of the classes are taken like I said as a cohort to all the students have all the same classes together. And yet they spent the whole semester with that group of students and kind of visiting these different amazing places but it's really fun because the professors actually come to you and you have a classroom in Bryce Canyon right off the room. That's amazing. [00:34:36] And from there a lot of the professors are like OK let's go out into the parking and look at the different aspects that the park offers to learn about the content in the courses and they stay where exactly they stay at Ruby’s in which is just right outside the entrance to Bryce Canyon there and they also work right. And it's part of the it's part of the course load really as as the. There's the hospitality kind of portion of that and the students earn a certificate in interdisciplinary Park studies. Oh that's great. So what's an example of the kind of work that they're doing. I mean they're there waiting tables or they're doing it. It does depend on really the student and the experience that they bring in. But again most of the students end up working in hospitality. That's the fancy way of saying you get trained out of bed. Ah I'm doing those pieces of it. But Beason is really also dedicated to the learning experience. So one they do need that work to be done and part of the reason this experience works is because we're able to help them with the shoulder season. So we provide those workers to do the hospitality work that they need to do. But on top of that they're like OK let's give you some experience with guiding tours or you know we've had students that have had hospitality backgrounds so they end up. She also spoke French so that helped. But she also says she ended up working at the front desk. Now there are different things you can do within it but most of them end up changing a lot of that. Yeah. And then how often how many hours a day are they in class. How long is a typical day in this semester in the park parks students of typical days you wake up normal time. [00:36:33] And then you go to work and you work in the morning. OK you get a break and then you go to class in the afternoon and the classes have a different class focus each day. So you'll have English one day and then you'll have suddenly a top floor the next day you'll have criminal justice the next day you'll have Americans in the outdoors the next day and then every other weekend you have to feel blab time with those courses and you'll go and visit Lake Mead or Gold Butte or Zion or great bass bass. So you really get to know the different parks within it but you don't just visit them because you're looking at it through those different lenses and trying to understand the parks like. All right. How does criminal justice help conserve this park. And then how do how in American and the outdoors are really looking out like what's the value of the parks to our society and how can the parks offer that experience to the visitors in the best way. And what's the visitor experience and how are those visitors managed. A lot of the same kind of challenges that Superintendent Jeff Brady spoke about today during his presentation and how the faculty for semester in the parks comes from. Specifically the faculty in the outdoor education area or is it across the boards across the board. So in 2018 in the fall of Laura Walker from English we have Samwell as from Buyology we have Kelly Akunin from outdoor recreation. We have Brian Burton from criminal justice. And then we have Ann Smith also from Alto recreation and then I get help with the field trips. [00:38:14] Cool. And then they cut to weekends there. There were there exploring and learning and then and do they. Is there free time said. I mean do they come back into town. Do you know how they handle the rest of their time I'm just it. It does become again downtime. Well I guess the best way is safe downtime for them to have wives. Right. Which when you're doing an emergency master. Right. Is really appreciated. And it's just time to do your homework to catch up with friends to take the time that you need to make sure that you're rejuvenated and healthy. It's one of the parks likes to do the fun things that are out there. Yeah. Yeah. Such a cool concept. And this this concept we've been doing this for how long. Two years two years. We're going to be offering our third year and it's each fall semesters or just the fall fall or fall semester only. Yep. And again if you my favorite way to do things on the web is just to google it. So if you Google actually use mastering the parks it will take you to that home page and applications are due mid March. So again have been accepted yes. Now's the time right. This is the time to be looking if you're interested in this. I mean totally go check it out. It's only our Kappus 15 students to be able to give the experience that we want to you. So we do need people to actually apply. [00:39:35] But on time so that we can make sure that we get the best cohort possible. Right. So if you're out there and you're feeling super passionate about it get on it right away. Google semester in the parks. See you and take a look at the application. But time is running out it seems like you're probably getting pretty close to having that locked down. So that's such a cool program and I think probably the maybe the only one there maybe something similar but not to this extent. I mean this is just such a special opportunity to have a study abroad but yet also nearby. But yet in a completely different environment in Bryce Canyon. So and earn a certificate in a single semester which is also kind of unique. That's great. And how do you guys feel about it. Some of the topics that we were talking about today do you have any comments on. We were talking about conservation preservation. Do you have any suggestions or thoughts about anything that students or our listeners and I think we should be aware of that we should be doing or advice that you have that you'd like to impart. Oh Bridgette don't talk about the sustainability. Oh yep. Actually you does have a sustainability miner and we've just worked with a group of faculty to rework it but it is a unique lens. And I guess the way that I look at majors and minors is it gives you a perspective to interact with the world. [00:41:04] Some of them you just dedicate to your profession but otherwise you can take the sustainability minor add it to the major that you're doing and just see the world through a different lens. And so you'll be looking at and asking the questions is like how can we help our society be sustainable. And in that it's not just I guess the scarcity part of it but it's being sustainable in here and really being like a healthy society and that is going to be looking at the ways that we use energy the ways that we interact with the outdoors the ways that we build things and utilize resources so that it's not just for our generation but for future generations as well. That's amazing that we have that as well. All right. I'm going to play one last song and then we're going to come back with what is fast turning into everybody's favorite part of the radio show which is asking you guys about what's turning you on right now. Books TV movies all that kind of stuff getting into the nitty gritty and getting some inspiration for our listeners. But before we do that I have one last song and this one is not Valentine related but it's maybe Olympics related. I've been watching a lot of the winter of Olympics and this is a group that I mentioned last week called Grand tapestry that I think is really interesting from their album titled Grand tapestry. And this song is called Champion. And once again you were listening to the APEX hour on Thunder ninety one point one KSUU. [00:47:05] Well welcome back. This is Lynn Vartan you're listening to the apex hour here on KSUU Thunder ninety one point one. That song that you just heard is olympic inspired it's called Champion by grand tapestry on the album Grand tapestry. [00:47:22] We have just a few minutes left here for the Apex Hour this week and we're going to do the thing that everybody seems to be loving which is what's turning you on this week. Some to start with you. Bridget what's turning you on and it couldn't be books movies TV podcasts. What's something you'd like to share that you're really excited about. Well I am going to say that the book that has gotten me to think the most in the last six months is Florence Williams the nature effects and in that I get to talk about my soapbox because it's all about how the outdoors is good for people. Our brains are wired for it. It makes you a better thinker. It makes your body work better it helps you create social bonds it helps you create meaning for your life and so it actually takes the time to go through the research and tell the stories that we all need to be connected to the natural world. And can you tell us the title and author of that book again. Yep it's Florence Williams and that's the nature facts. You were not the first time I've heard of this thing this week. And stay tuned. We may be researching trying to get her out to see you as an apex future speaker. So let's fingers crossed for that. But I also have to say that I really my passion in this world is to connect people to the outdoors and especially for learning and I really have seen it time and time again. [00:48:51] If you're a stressed out student in the library take the time walk around a beautiful campus because we have a park for our campus so I can guarantee you that your brain is going to work better and you're going to be able to focus and and actually enjoy what you're doing and just being stressed out. Midterms are coming up so everybody get outside and take a look around. That's great. Great advice. Thank you Kevin. How about you. What's inspiring you right now. I've been reading glory land by Shelton Johnson. The story of a buffalo soldier who serves in Yosemite National Park before the Park Service existed in the parks were kind of being overseen by the cavalry and kind of regulated that way. So it's a it's a very interesting perspective on early early park maintenance so to speak. That's amazing. Tell us the name and the title and author of the title is Gloryland and author Shelton Johnson. And again another sort of Apex plug right. This has been one that's come down the pike as a suggestion for future events so we may see what we can do to find these people on campus. Well that is so cool. Do you have any final words or any final things you'd like to promote or announce. There are so many great opportunities here and Su you know students often get bogged down with classwork. They feel like oh I wanna go on a trip I just don't have time or I want to go to the park. I just can't get away from this project or this paper or his presentation that I'm working on. [00:50:30] You got you got to make the time really you gotta make the time to do the things that you want to do otherwise you'll never find it. And all up the ante for that is one of the reasons that actually you has the program especially the outdoor ads put in is for people to actually say I want to learn and then you fill in the blank and you create a project to do it and the outer edge projects are the ones that I love so much because it's people that really want to learn or do something and then they figure out how to do it. So we have people that are one of my favorites as he builds a new and in that he wanted to learn woodworking skills so that he could go out and be a better theater teacher. Perfect in it so there's projects like that. And so I think that you find what you want to do and you can turn it into your project. Get that requirement out of the way by doing something that you love while I love it. Thank you guys so much for your time today. I really appreciate getting to know everything we have to offer here for us. Yeah. And so you heard it all if you want to even think from going camping come down and check out the Outdoor Center here in the Sharwan Smith Center right across in the welcome center or if you want to look at class offerings online or get involved with the internship program or semester in the parks. Get busy with your Google and find out ways to get outside and experience our awesome landscape. [00:51:58] Well that wraps up another show for us here at the apex hour on KSUU thunder ninety one point one. That was a best of show you heard past moments from February of 2018 because we are on spring break and I am in Los Angeles saying hello and looking forward to getting back in the studio for more action to come. Thanks for listening until next week. This is Lynn Vartan saying goodbye from the apex hour here on Thunder ninety one point one.

Today's story is from someone who gets to live out basically every kid's dream of being a marine biologist on a beautiful tropical reef. Meg Malone studies fish behavior on a reef that's located off the shore of Moku o Lo'e, Coconut Island, which is famous in part for being the backdrop for the 1960's show 'Gilligans Island,' but today is better known as the site of the Hawai'i Institute of Marine Biology. In this episode she shares her day in the life of a marine biologist, recording and studying how fishes* interact with with their environment and one another. Fish do a lot of stuff in a day! Meg's helping us learn what all they're up to. For great photos and more information about Meg's research: http://marinebiomeg.weebly.com/fishes-research.html  *Fun fact, if you've got two fish of the same species, they're referred to as fish (e.g. 'there are two clownfish in our fish tank), but if you've got multiple different species of fish, you refer to them as 'fishes' (e.g. 'there are two clownfish and three other fishes in our fish tank).    --- Where are you in the world?

Sarah Ebel has one of the most interesting jobs at the Field Museum, but it's likely not one that would jump to mind if I asked you about exciting museum positions. She's an attorney, and in addition to helping us sort out copyright and licensing issues it's also her responsibility to do things like keep us up to date on federal wildlife trafficking laws, and, you know, figure out how to install a temporary sink for a tattoo parlor we built in an exhibition.  Today she's on the show to share a few stories. The first has to do with the time she was asked by the Fan Association of North America (fans of fans) to talk about how Obama's ban on the interstate trade of ivory was going to impact their hobby. It, uh. Didn't go so great.  ---- Sarah’s Very Legal Response to our request to use the Hamburger Helper logo in a video for The Brain Scoop: Subject: WATCH THE STOVE Fair Use Analysis Hi, Emily and Sheheryar-- You asked me whether the use of a portion of one of the tracks from the Hamburger Helper Mixtape, "WATCH THE STOVE," and the Hamburger Helper glove mascot ("the Helping Hand" or "Lefty") in an upcoming episode of The Brain Scoop would constitute fair use under copyright and trademark law, respectively. In both cases, I think the answer is yes, it would be a fair use provided you are not making extensive use of either the mixtape or Lefty, but are using both as a brief gag satirizing the recent trend of suddenly dropped mixtapes and using HamburgerHelper as an example (which is the use you previously described to me). However, if you were using an extended clip from the mixtape or using it as background or credits music or using Lefty in a way that implied that Hamburger Helper sponsored or endorsed The Brain Scoop or The Field Museum,  that would not be a fair use. (That was the tl:dr answer; the legal rationale wall-of-text follows) The mixtape is protected by copyright, and, as creative work is afforded a high degree of protection. Additionally, the use you propose does not alter the work, but it does use it in a satirical context. More importantly, you are proposing to use only a very small portion of the work (only enough to make your point) and this will have no negative impact on the original work or the market for it. In fact, seeing as Hamburger Helper released the mixtape for free as a marketing stunt, referring to it in The Brain Scoop might have a net positive effect on the market for the original by driving new listeners to the original mixtape. While this isn't a clear cut case of fair use (since satirical use is a tricky, often subjective, analysis), the fact that you're planning to use so little of the work (a brief clip from one track) which will have no recognizable impact on the market for the original. The Hamburger Helper mascot is likely protected under trademark as it serves as a brand identifier. Trademark fair use is different from copyright fair use, in that fair use of a trademark is allowed when the trademark is needed to accurately identify the source of a product, the use is constrained to the amount required, and there is no implication made that the use constitute endorsement or sponsorship by the trademark holder. Again, the use you described would fall under fair use, as you are using Lefty only briefly to identify the source of the mixtape and not in away that implies Hamburger Helper's endorsement. While you could just use Hamburger Helper's word mark, rather than its mascot, Lefty is immediately recognizable, which is efficient for a visual medium, and Hamburger Helper purposefully associated Lefty with the mixtape; it seems difficult to refer to the mixtape without referring to Lefty. If you have any other questions or if your planned use has drastically changed, let me know. But, otherwise, your mixtape gag passes legal muster (thanks for the fun question).

How do paleontologists know when they've found a new species of dinosaur, or any other extinct life? I have no idea but thankfully I've got a few scientists on speed-dial that comes in pretty handy for such questions. In today's episode we caught up with Gabriella Rossetto at the Denver Museum of Nature & Science to hear her story about a particularly eventful field season, and Dr. Ken Angielczyk, Associate Curator at the Field Museum comes back to share his experience being one of only a handful of world experts uncovering and studying Dicynodonts; tusked mammal-like animals that lived around 290-251 million years ago.  Oh, and here's the xkcd comic about spider paleontology Ken and I talk about. These first few episodes have been planted pretty firmly in the fossil record but coming up we'll hear from a mammalogist working with ancient DNA, a museum attorney responsible for setting up a fully-functioning tattoo parlor in a public exhibition, and a marine biologist who spends her field season examining coral reef fishes around the world.

Dr. Ken Angielczyk is an Associate Curator at the Field Museum. While his research primarily focuses on a group of ancient mammal relatives called Dicynodonts, he's dabbled elsewhere in the fossil record, too- but no matter the subject of study, there's usually a story involved. There was that one time a broken fossil turtle shell led to a surprising discovery, or another instance in which he very nearly walked away from a site teeming with Asilisaurus- one of the oldest dinosaurs ever discovered. Mistakes in life and inevitable and scientists certainly aren't immune to them, either. Today's episode explores what these little learning opportunities in disguise have to offer us when we decide to pay attention.  --- Each episode includes a segment at the end where we want to hear from you.

Kate Golembiewski is a Public Relations and Science Communications Manager for the Field Museum. As a science writer tasked with bringing the Field's research to the press, her work isn't exactly 'behind-the-scenes' -- thousands of people have read her stories on topics ranging from 'ridiculously cute mouse lemurs' to the similarities of ancient houses and the McMansions of today -- but she's usually not the one in front of the camera. Then, on a day that started like any other work day, she unexpectedly found herself in the role of a charismatic dinosaur expert for one of the biggest television networks in Japan.

This week Lon talks about an imposter who uploaded many of his Amazon reviews to YouTube, affiliate links on YouTube, Emily Graslie's commentary on video comment sexism, and the latest news!

How does a landscape artist become the host of a popular science show on YouTube? For Emily Graslie it started with pictures of a wolf head on Facebook. Emily Graslie graduated from The University of Montana with a BFA in painting in 2011. Her relationship with science began as an internship with The University of Montana Zoological Museum during her senior year. What started off as a means to practice scientific illustration gradually developed into a love of skeletal preparation and an interest in the inner workings of natural history museums. In January of 2013, with the help of YouTube educator Hank Green and producer Michael Aranda, Emily and co. launched a YouTube channel about science museums and research collections. 'The Brain Scoop' aims to share the wonderful inner and outer workings of natural history museums by discussing all aspects of science, biology, and the joys of discovery.
