Diabeł tasmański miał wyginąć do 2030 roku przez zaraźliwy nowotwór, który przenosi się przez ugryzienie. Tymczasem wszystko wskazuje, że będzie straszył w buszu jeszcze długo, bo zaczął ewoluować w tempie, które zaskoczyło naukowców. Największy mięsożerny torbacz świata radzi sobie z dwoma niezależnymi szczepami zakaźnego nowotworu (DFTD i DFT2), jego mleko zawiera peptydy hamujące wzrost komórek rakowych, a naturalna odporność niektórych populacji rozwija się w tempie widocznym międzypokoleniowo. Diabelski PR to osobna historia. Nazwę dostał od europejskich osadników, reputację mordercy owiec zbudował niesłusznie, a piekielny wizerunek utrwaliła kreskówka Warner Bros z 1954 roku. W rzeczywistości to gatunek zwornikowy ekosystemu Tasmanii, z najsilniejszym w przeliczeniu na masę zgryzem wśród ssaków lądowych, długimi wibrysami na głowie, ogonem magazynującym tłuszcz i wyjątkowo krwawym życiem rozrodczym. Samica rodzi do 40 młodych wielkości ziarnka ryżu, a szansę przeżycia ma tylko czwórka, która jako pierwsza dotrze do sutków w torbie. Samce potrafią więzić partnerki w norze nawet przez 8 dni. Film pokazuje też historię relacji diabła z wilkiem workowatym, rolę w wyginięciu tego drugiego, reintrodukcję na kontynentalną Australię po 3000 lat oraz fakap z wyspą Maria, gdzie ubezpieczeniowa kolonia diabłów wyżarła 3000 par pingwinów małych.Źródła:1. https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2011/06/110627151710.htm2. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bite_force_quotient3. https://royalsocietypublishing.org/rspb/article-abstract/272/1563/619/75766/Bite-club-comparative-bite-force-in-big-biting?redirectedFrom=fulltext4. https://link.springer.com/article/10.1007/s10914-022-09638-05. https://phys.org/news/2023-12-animals-tasmanian-devils-teeth.html6. https://connectsci.au/am/article-abstract/44/1/126/36155/Torn-limb-from-limb-the-ethology-of-prey7. https://www.semanticscholar.org/paper/A-Field-Study-of-Communication-and-Social-Behavior-Pemberton-Renouf/1dd3564293ee745eca5504bee74e7f2b7fe235288. https://ielc.libguides.com/sdzg/factsheets/tasmaniandevil/diet9. https://connectsci.au/zo/article-abstract/41/5/507/43099/A-Field-Study-of-Communication-and-Social-Behavior?redirectedFrom=fulltext10. https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC7345153/11. https://link.springer.com/rwe/10.1007/978-981-19-1282-5_62-112. https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC7614631/13. https://nre.tas.gov.au/conservation/threatened-species-and-communities/lists-of-threatened-species/threatened-species-vertebrates/save-the-tasmanian-devil-program/tasmanian-devils-faqs14. https://www.nature.com/articles/ncomms1268415. https://www.pnas.org/doi/abs/10.1073/pnas.071123610516. https://scifundchallenge.org/firesidescience/2016/04/11/amazing-marsupials/17. https://www.abc.net.au/news/2021-06-22/tasmanian-devils-decimate-wildlife-on-maria-island/100234550

What started as a simple conversation over coffee grew into a global movement teaching farmers how to use homeopathy in everyday animal care. I sat down with Annie Batchelor and Jayne Lyons from Homoeopathy at Wellie Level (HAWL) to talk about their journeys into homeopathy and how their work is helping farmers and pet owners approach animal health differently. We explored how their courses are designed to make homeopathy practical and accessible. Annie also shared a powerful real-life example of a farmer dramatically reducing vet costs through simple remedies, showing just how impactful this approach can be. Beyond the training, what stood out most was the strong global community they've built—one that continues to support and guide people long after the course ends. Episode Highlights: 03:59 - Founder Chris Lees inspired direction 06:05 - “I finally felt at home” 11:52 - Leaving army for new calling 18:01 - Global Reach of Homeopathy Education 20:24 - King Charles and Homeopathy 24:42 - Course Details and Structure 28:53 - Learning starts with strong foundation 32:53 - Massive drop in veterinary expenses 38:23 - Field Study on Worms in Livestock 43:22 - HAWL's Contact Information and Community Support About my Guests: Annie Batchelor is a highly experienced homeopath based in Salisbury, Wiltshire, with over 30 years in practice treating patients of all ages and species. Working alongside veterinary professionals, she often supports cases where conventional approaches have fallen short. Her work spans a remarkable range—from farm and companion animals to reptiles and even fish—reflecting her deep passion for animal care. Annie was part of HAWL from its very beginning, contributing to its foundation, mission, and teaching, and continues to play an active role today. Having previously run a well-regarded professional homeopathy licentiateship course, Annie shifted her focus from formal teaching a decade ago to more hands-on mentorship, successfully guiding apprentices into becoming registered practitioners. Through HAWL, she has spent over 25 years teaching farmers and animal carers, drawing inspiration from their practical approach and real-world challenges. As the resident academic, she leads foundational teaching for both in-person and international online courses, supported by a growing global network of practitioners and vets. Annie is currently leading a field trial on worms, with plans to expand it into a large-scale study based on early results. Jayne Lyons was introduced to homeopathy at a young age and has used it throughout her life, including during her pregnancy. Inspired by her personal experience, she went on to study at the Welsh School of Homeopathy, qualifying as a Registered Homeopath after five years of training. She now serves as Secretary for Homoeopathy at Wellie Level (HAWL), where she helps teach the responsible use of homeopathy to farmers and animal owners. Before transitioning into homeopathy, Jayne had a successful and fulfilling career as a Commissioned Officer in the British Army. Following the birth of her daughter, her path shifted toward supporting others through physical, mental, and emotional healing. She works with a wide range of concerns—from acute injuries to chronic illness and pregnancy support—and considers it a privilege to be part of her clients' wellbeing journeys. Alongside homeopathy, Jayne incorporates oligotherapy trace elements, creates creams and ointments using Neal's Yard products, and promotes aloe vera–based products from Forever to support a holistic approach to health and wellness.      Find out more about Annie and Jayne Website: https://www.hawl.co.uk/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/homeopathyatwellielevel Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/homeopathyatwellielevel If you would like to support the Homeopathy Hangout Podcast, please consider making a donation by visiting www.EugenieKruger.com and click the DONATE button at the top of the site.

I've recently gained a lot of new followers, so for this week's episode of the Fancy Scientist Podcast, I wanted to share with you my vast experience that I've had working as a wildlife biologist for nearly twenty years, so that you can fully understand what this field is like.My career has taken me all over the world, and I've been on all different kinds of adventures: from hiking the deserts of Utah to the top of Mount Kenya, and from flour beetles to forest elephants. I have worked across four different continents and in almost every type of organization that you can think of: the government, zoos, museums, universities, and alongside nonprofits.In this episode, I break down each one of the positions that I have had in the past, telling you what they're like and what I did, but more importantly, how I felt about the position emotionally, mentally, and what it did for my career.This is a comprehensive, yet fun overview of my journey. It's you and me hanging out, sharing the raw reality of these different places, so you can see the truth behind the resume. I do not shy away from discussing real challenges, like navigating toxic work environments and the “sink or swim” nature of graduate research. Chances are, you'll find it refreshing how I don't hold back, but also share how I pulled through.I started my wildlife career officially in 2003 when I graduated with my Bachelor's degree. My first position was an internship with the Bureau of Land Management in St. George, Utah, where I searched for water catchments to help wildlife combat drought and started some preliminary bat research in the Grand Canyon. This got me started in my wildlife career, but this was a challenging internship, and I almost quit!I'm so glad I didn't because that experience led me to a dream internship at Disney's Animal Kingdom, where I worked in a glass-walled lab doing endocrine research on the captive animals there, including African savanna elephants and the critically endangered cotton-top tamarin monkey. This was a total 180 from my experience in the desert! I loved Disney World and spent my days catching tamarin poop and helping to monitor elephant pregnancies. It was a supportive environment that showed me how much I loved combining science with outreach.From there, my journey took me to Kenya as an intern for the School for Field Studies, which was also enriching but challenging. Again, I almost quit! But here I showed that I could work at a field station internationally long-term, which was a major flex for my upcoming Ph.D. research. It also gave me the invaluable experience of publishing.My Kenya internship led me into a six-and-a-half-year Ph.D. program studying African forest elephants in Gabon. I loved my Ph.D., but each step was a mix of incredible highs like observing wild elephants for months on end in Central Africa and the lows of being lonely in a field station or figuring out how to do something that has never been done before! Here, I fully understood what scientific research was really all about.This episode is a must-listen to one if you are interested in going into wildlife fields, want to get to know me better, or are just curious to know what it's like to be a wildlife biologist!Specifically, we go over:How I landed my first “legit” field internship with the Bureau of Land Management in Utah and why it was so hard on meThe inside scoop on working at a world-class zoo and in Disney World, being a Reproductive Biology intern, including what it's like to catch cotton-top tamarin poop and monitor elephant pregnanciesWhat it's like to live in Kenya for a year, and in a remote field stationNavigating toxic work environments and almost quitting more than onceHow I got my first scientific publicationsA brief overview of my research on forest elephants in Gabon, the “sink or swim” reality of graduate school, and why I considered dropping down to a Master'sHow to study “disgust” in raccoons and why I drove around looking for roadkill carcassesMy seven-year postdoc at the North Carolina Museum of Natural Sciences, running global camera trap projects, and the birth of “The Fancy Scientist”How these 17 years of experience led me to leave the traditional research path to start my own business in science communication and career mentoringOther fun experiences, like seeing a tiger in the wild or watching a leatherback turtle lay eggsAnd MORE!Dream of being a wildlife biologist, zoologist, conservation biologist, or ecologist? Ready to turn your love of animals into a thriving career?

In Episode 88 of Athletes Compass, hosts Paul Warloski, Marjaana Rakai, and Dr. Paul Laursen tackle listener questions on aging, training volume, fasted sessions, and optimizing recovery. They explore how much genetics influence athletic aging, how even the pros structure rest days during the Tour de France, and whether walking can serve as effective low-intensity training. Listeners also get insights into VO₂ max workouts across modalities, the practicality of fasted rides, and why context is everything in endurance training. The episode wraps with a call to contribute to an innovative field study through the Athletica platform.Key TakeawaysGenetics vs. Environment: Genetics play a role in aging, but epigenetic factors like training, nutrition, and stress management matter more.Training with Youth: Aging athletes benefit from training with younger, high-intensity partners.Tour de France Rest Days: Even pros ride on “rest days” to maintain high fitness levels.Lactate Myth: The idea of “flushing lactate” has been scientifically debunked.Walking Works: Regular walking supports parasympathetic balance and long-term endurance health.Fasted Training: There's anecdotal evidence from elite cyclists, but limited scientific support—still, many swear by it.VO₂ Max Specificity: Cross-modality HIIT can improve VO₂, but sport-specific training offers neuromuscular advantages.Race Prep: The day before a race should prioritize low stress, short efforts, and psychological readiness.Complete the FIELD Study Questionnaire - Join the FIELD Study — a real-world research project that brings Sports Science 3.0 to life.Paul Warloski - Endurance, Strength Training, YogaMarjaana Rakai - Tired Mom Runs - Where fitness meets motherhood.

So Chance and Carlton were unable to get a recording together with the Federal Funding threats to the Historic Preservation Fund keeping their schedules incredibly busy into the evening. So, instead, here's an ENCORE episode from A Life in Ruins Podcast featuring Chance and Carlton back in graduate school.In this episode, Carlton is joined by Chance Ward, an M.A. student in Museum and Field Studies at CU Boulder and a Tribal Citizen of the Cheyenne River Sioux Tribe. The two start the episode with a discussion on how Chance got into Anthropology at Fort Lewis College. We then delve into his post-undergrad career in CRM and working for the Southern Ute Tribe. Carlton investigates why Chance chose CU Boulder and they get into a dialogue about how Chance's grad school experiences have shaped the direction of his career. In the final segment, Carlton and Chance talk about their recent media experiences together such as being interviewed for a PBS documentary on horses and a conversation they had with Mel B's (Yes, the one from the Spice Girls) agent.LinksThe Archaeology of the North American Great Plains by Douglas B.

Field Study

In this episode of the Athletes Compass, Paul Laursen, Marjaana Rakai, and Paul Warloski navigate the overwhelming world of training advice by highlighting six core pillars for endurance performance: base training, HIIT, strength training, sleep/recovery, nutrition, and mental health. They discuss how to recognize when you're out of balance, why "feel" matters more than metrics, and how even elite athletes use intuition to guide training. With humor, science, and real-life examples, they deliver a grounded framework to help everyday athletes train effectively and sustainably. Key Episode TakeawaysHomeostasis (Balance) is the ultimate goal—stress is necessary but must be counterbalanced by recovery.Base Training is essential for building metabolic flexibility and long-term adaptation.Feel Over Metrics: Even top athletes prioritize how their body feels over data.HIIT and Strength Training provide necessary stressors for growth but should be used strategically.Sleep and Nutrition are recovery pillars often overlooked but critical for adaptation.Mental Health and Community amplify both performance and well-being.Red Flags in training include fatigue, poor sleep, emotional irritability, and poor HRV trends.Avoid Trends that don't serve your individual context—personalization is key.Complete the FIELD Study Questionnaire - Join the FIELD Study — a real-world research project that brings Sports Science 3.0 to life.Paul Warloski - Endurance, Strength Training, YogaMarjaana Rakai - Tired Mom Runs - Where fitness meets motherhood.

In this back-to-basics episode, the hosts—Paul Warloski, Dr. Paul Laursen, and Marjaana Rakai—strip away the noise of elite training paradigms to focus on what truly moves the needle for everyday endurance athletes. They lay out the six foundational pillars of performance: movement, HIIT, strength training, nutrition, sleep, and mental health. With refreshingly real talk, the trio addresses common roadblocks like time constraints, parental duties, and over-analysis, advocating instead for simplicity, adaptability, and consistency in training. The mantra? Chop wood, carry water.Key Takeaways:Movement is non-negotiable: It's the baseline pillar—walking, biking, commuting all count.Aerobic base is essential: Consistent, low-intensity cardio builds longevity and efficiency.HIIT matters—but sparingly: Use the 80/20 polarized model: 80% low, 20% high intensity.Strength training prevents injuries and boosts performance.Nutrition fuels adaptation: Whole foods and adequate protein intake are crucial.Sleep is the ultimate recovery tool—everything else is secondary.Mental health is interconnected with physical training; movement supports emotional resilience.Stop overanalyzing: Perfect metrics are less important than consistency.Complete the FIELD Study Questionnaire - Join the FIELD Study — a real-world research project that brings Sports Science 3.0 to life.Paul Warloski - Endurance, Strength Training, YogaMarjaana Rakai - Tired Mom Runs - Where fitness meets motherhood.

UFOs were big news in 1973. Besides the Pascagoula and the Coyne incidents, there were flaps all over the United States. One in Piedmont, Missouri, got started that year in late February with UFO reports involving cars stalling and radio interference. These caught the attention of a physics professor, Harley D. Rutledge, who was chairman of that department at Southeast Missouri State University at Cape Girardeau. Rutledge became fascinated to the point that he put together an investigation team of scientists, arranged funding, and ended up spending more than seven years observing unexplained lights while collecting data and photographs. In late 1973, he gave a presentation of what he and the group had gathered up to that point at the fall meeting (attended by John Schuessler of the Mutual UFO Network) of the Missouri section of the American Association of Physics Teachers. Rutledge finally published a book describing the investigation titled Project Identification: The First Scientific Field Study of UFO Phenomena in 1981. Read moreBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/podcast-ufo--5922140/support.

  Dr. Sven Schimpf is the Managing Director of the Fraunhofer Group for Innovation Research and the Director of the Institute for Human Engineering and Empathic Design at Pforzheim University. He is involved in research, education, training, and mentoring in the field of innovation. Sven has conducted extensive studies on roadmapping and has a degree in Business Administration and a doctorate in Engineering earned during his tenure as part of CC R&D Management at Fraunhofer IAO. Throughout his career, he has actively engaged in national and international research and consulting projects, collaborating with various industrial companies to enhance their R&D strategies, processes, and organization. His focus lies in the realm of strategic R&D and innovation management, where he dedicates himself to monitoring, evaluating, and incorporating potentially disruptive advancements.   Today, Sven and I discuss the findings of the updated roadmapping study conducted by the Fraunhofer Group for Innovation Research with three other organizations. We discuss how organizations use roadmapping and the challenges they face. We highlight the importance of clear communication and why excessive details should be avoided in roadmaps. We analyze how software developers can use the insights gained from the study to improve their roadmapping processes. Sven explains the basics of roadmapping and why mismatches between market-oriented information sources and the responsibility for roadmapping occur.

Yale Anthropologist Lisa Messeri spent a year doing field work in Los Angeles in 2018 studying the political ecology of the VR community, and will be releasing her landmark book called In the Land of the Unreal: Virtual and Other Realities in Los Angeles on Friday, March 8th. It's the best book about the culture of VR that I've read so far as it is pulling in many insights from Science and Technology Studies (STS), anthropology, social sciences, sci fi, pop culture, and philosophy. Making claims about reality is daunting for any working scholar in the 21st Century, and Messeri uses the feeling of "unreality" as a analytical tool to analyze not only virtual reality, but also the fracturing nature of our political context, but also the unreality of Los Angeles as the factory of dreams and façade-like architecture that blurs the boundary for what's deeply real vs what's surface scaffolding enough to transport you into another reality. Messeri uses the framing of fantasy to interrogate a number of claims being made by the VR community circa 2018. Fantasy by her definition could include both positive aspirational dreams, but they could also turn out to be deluded illusions. I personally prefer the using the phrase of potential since it is a bit more neutral for me, and includes both the promising positive potentials as well as the more perilous negative potentials. But she splits her book into three parts the Fantasy of Location exploring the unreality of Los Angeles as well as how VR transports you into another world per Mel Slaters place illusion. The second part is the Fantasy of Being deconstructs the VR as the ultimate empathy machine per Chris Milk's infamous 2015 TED Talk. Then the third part explores the Fantasy of Representation with the aspirations of the LA VR community to create a more diverse and equitable ecosystem that transcends the bias and power dynamics of Silicon Valley. In each one of these three sections, Messeri uses case studies and follows specific individuals over time to see whether or not some of these aspirations and potentials end up becoming grounded into physical reality, or whether they end up collapsing into a more deluded illusion. I was inspired to dig into my backlog of 800+ unpublished Voices of VR podcast episodes to publish some interviews that I conducted between 2017-2019 featuring some of the main characters and protagonists featured in Messeri's book: Marci Jastrow is featured in Chapter 3 letting Messeri become a scholar-in-residence at Technicolor Experience Center Carrie Shaw of Embodied Labs is featured in Chapter 5, and radically opens up her business to Messeri to study Jackie Morie is featured in Chapter 6 as Messeri deconstructs some of the gender essentialist claims that VR is a medium that's a natural fit for women. And Joanna Popper is featured in Chapter 7 as Messeri breaks down the unique pathways into emerging technology that she was noting as an interesting trend from an anthropological perspective. I had a chance to read through an advanced copy of In the Land of the Unreal: Virtual and Other Realities in Los Angeles, and it's already started to make a huge impact on the way that I think about the many dimensions of unreality in our present day realities ranging from the surreal experiences of VR presence to the fractured reality bubbles of our political discourse to the ways in which techno-utopian solutionism can impact the philosophies that are driving how technologies like AI are developed aspiring towards speculations of Artificial General Intelligence or Artificial Superintelligence. I even started applying Messeri's unreality analytic to make sense of some of what Alvin Wang Graylin was saying in our discussion about Our Next Reality. I said, "I found myself is this kind of unreality of a potential imaginal future of this post-scarcity, post-labor context where all of our problems have been solved,

Born in Indiana, summers and college in Vermont, dancing their way into each-others hearts, Dierdre met her Husband Caleb Barber at Middlebury. Both loved food, influenced by Italy, opened an Italian restaurant, grew their own produce, then eventually grapes, and practiced farm to table before it was a thing. Loyal to the terroir and indigenous fruits, Deirdre went on to make alpine wines in the mountains and lakes of the great state of Vermont. Her first vintage was in 2010, her innovation, commitment, influence and mentorship has not only put Vermont wine on the map, but how we think about wine, sparklers, and cider. Heritage Radio Network is a listener supported nonprofit podcast network.

His focus lies in the realm of strategic R&D and innovation management, where he dedicates himself to monitoring, evaluating, and incorporating potentially disruptive advancements. Today, Sven and I discuss the findings of the updated roadmapping study conducted by the Fraunhofer Group for Innovation Research with three other organizations. We discuss how organizations use roadmapping and the challenges they face. We highlight the importance of clear communication and why excessive details should be avoided in roadmaps. We analyze how software developers can use the insights gained from the study to improve their roadmapping processes. Sven explains the basics of roadmapping and why mismatches between market-oriented information sources and the responsibility for roadmapping occur. We also discuss how organizations can enhance their strategic planning and decision-making processes, foster creativity, envision ambitious futures, and uniquely engage stakeholders. “There is huge potential because in the long run production technologies there are a lot of things happening and they are enabling the development of the next—or the generation after this— generation of products and services.” Dr. Sven Schimpf This week on Innovation Talks: ●     The definition of roadmapping and why it is important ●     An overview of the roadmapping study ●     The types of companies that participated in the study ●     Why there is a lack of marketing involvement in roadmapping ●     The importance of sharing roadmaps with stakeholders●     The best processes to manage and update roadmaps ●     Roadmapping software recommendations●     Why detail makes roadmaps less useful Connect with Dr. Sven Schimpf ●     Dr. Sven Schimpf●     Dr. Sven Schimpf on LinkedIn●     Fraunhofer Group for Innovation Research Roadmapping Study ●     Fraunhofer Group on LinkedIn This Podcast is brought to you by Sopheon Thanks for tuning into this week's episode of Innovation Talks.

I am writing this from La Presa, a small town in Atenas, Costa Rica. There are mangos, star fruits, and bananas scattered across the lawn. Toucans are perched in the trees, and iguanas are sunbathing on the roof. It rains every day—a beautiful, cooling rain. We're surrounded by mountains and tropical rainforests. There's no air-conditioning and no hot water, but somehow everything feels incredibly fresh..While I'm here, I spend my weekdays studying ecology and ecosystem conservation at the School for Field Studies, and in doing so, I've been exposed to an incredible amount of literature on environmentalism. To be honest, environmentalism had never really interested me before. But as I read and learn about all sorts of methods of sustainability and conservation, I can't help but wonder about the relationship between environmentalism and Christianity..God's charge regarding our relationship with nature actually begins in Genesis, the very first book of the Bible. God tells us that Adam's duty in the Garden of Eden was to “work it and take care of it” (2:15). And God blessed Adam and Eve to fill the earth and care for every creature in it (1:26-28). Think about that. The universe is nothing less than God's masterpiece, a testament of His love, glory, and beauty. And He has entrusted it to us—His people, His children!.We are stewards of God's creation. The entire universe—including our planet—is the wonderful creation of a perfect God, and the only appropriate response for Christians is to embrace our calling as stewards of the natural environment. In everything we do, we need to remember that the world is so much more than our playground. It's a beautiful gift to us, and it's where Jesus Christ will one day return. Then heaven will meet earth, and He will renew and restore all things. Now, Jesus calls us to be part of His life-giving work, even as we are filled by the sure hope of His return. So let's do everything we can to preserve the earth God has given us. • Christian Davis.• What is one of your favorite parts of creation? Consider taking a moment to thank God for this. .• What are some ways we can be faithful stewards of creation in our everyday lives? .• How can we enjoy the natural environment and its benefits in ways that are honoring to God? .The Lord God took the man and put him in the Garden of Eden to work it and take care of it. Genesis 2:15 (NIV)

Regional demand for renewable hydropower from the Mekong River and its tributaries in Laos is on the rise. In June 2022, Laos exported one hundred megawatts of hydropower to Singapore via Thailand and Malaysia – a historic milestone that further establishes Laos as the battery of Asia. However, these developments take place amid rising concerns for the ecological future of the transboundary Mekong River and the millions of people who depend on it. Joining Dr Natali Pearson on SSEAC Stories, Dr Ming Li Yong exposes how further hydropower development on the Mekong River could negatively affect ecosystems, resulting in decreased food security and jeopardising livelihoods in the river basin. She also discusses processes of public consultation and how they fail to consider local communities' opinions on these contested projects. About Ming Li Yong: Ming Li is a Fellow at the East-West Center in Honolulu, Hawai'i. She researches transboundary water governance and hydropower development in the Mekong River Basin. Her research focuses on community-based natural resource management, civil society movements, public participation, and the institutional arrangements that influence the politics of water resources development in the Mekong region. She received her Ph.D. from The University of Sydney and has previously taught courses on environmental ethics, sustainability, and food at the School for Field Studies and Paññāsāstra University of Cambodia, and at the National Institute of Education in Singapore.

In this episode, Carlton is joined by Chance Ward, an M.A. student in Museum and Field Studies at CU Boulder and a Tribal Citizen of the Cheyenne River Sioux Tribe. The two start the episode with a discussion on how Chance got into Anthropology at Fort Lewis College. We then delve into his post-undergrad career in CRM and working for the Southern Ute Tribe. Carlton investigates why Chance chose CU Boulder and they get into a dialogue about how Chance's grad school experiences have shaped the direction of his career. In the final segment, Carlton and Chance talk about their recent media experiences together such as being interviewed for a PBS documentary on horses and a conversation they had with Mel B's (Yes, the one from the Spice Girls) agent.
