In this episode of the Teach Outdoors Podcast, Lauren MacLean is joined by educator, writer, and author Carolyn Roberts, whose work centers on re-storying education through story, land-based learning, and relational ways of knowing.Carolyn invites us to slow down and reconsider the stories that shape our classrooms, our relationships, and our responsibilities to land and community. Together, Lauren and Carolyn explore how story is not just something we teach, but something we live — and how children's literature, particularly picture books by Indigenous authors, can open meaningful conversations about identity, belonging, and land.This conversation gently supports educators who may feel unsure or fearful about “getting it wrong,” offering practical, grounded ways to begin engaging in decolonizing practices with humility, reflection, and care. From using picture books as entry points, to rethinking land acknowledgements, to honouring children as knowledge holders, this episode offers reassurance that this work doesn't require perfection — only presence.This is a reflective and hopeful conversation for educators at any stage of their journey.Carolyn's WebsiteCarolyn's Journal Article

Health care trainees rotate through a variety of different settings. ICUs, hospital wards, and outpatient clinics. If they're lucky, they might even spend time in a nursing home. But on today's podcast, we're adding one more setting to that list: your local art museum. In this thought-provoking episode, we explore how art museum teaching is being integrated into the education of medical professionals—and why it's making a profound difference. Our guests, Amy Klein, Laura Morrison, and Gordon Wood, share their journey of integrating art into medical training, along with practical strategies you can use if you're inspired to do the same. You'll also hear how engaging with museum-based medical education can help health care professionals deepen empathy and emotional awareness, practice the skill of multiple perspective-taking, and grow more comfortable with ambiguity and uncertainty. Resources mentioned in the podcast include: A story about one medical student's experience with a day in the museum using multiple museum-based education exercices A Journal Article published in the Journal of Palliative Medicine titled “Museum-Based Education: A Novel Educational Approach for Hospice and Palliative Medicine Training Programs” A journal article on “Twelve Tips for Starting a Collaboration with an Art Museum.” A handout from the 2025 AAHPM/HPNA preconference gives examples of museum-based education exercises and resources for further training. Alex's summary of some prompts we discussed for the “Personal Responses Tour”, which is a reflective exercise where participants choose artwork based on a personal prompt, then share with a small group. The prompts include: Find a work of art that reminds you of a patient Find a work of art that reflects a challenging clinical situation Find a work that speaks to an experience you have had in your palliative medicine training that taught you about the impact of bias or racism Find a work that connects to the path you took into palliative care or geriatrics Find a piece that makes you think about community Find a piece that reflects your idea of what a “good death” is Lastly, stay on the “look out for” the 2026 Art Museum-Based Education preconferences session at the AAHPM/HPNA annual meeting on March 4, 2026 in San Diego!

In this episode of Wildlife By The Numbers, Grant and Matt continue their discussion on writing a scientific paper. They share with us writing the paper backwards by starting with the results, what to avoid in the discussion section, the abstract, title, and realistic number of drafts. Is 15 or 20 drafts a realistic number of drafts? Listen in and discover the answer. Quotes from this episode:"One of the things I see often happen in the discussion is people want to talk about things that are way outside the bounds of a particular study. So the study was designed to answer some specific question, and there's this desire usually to make the study answer questions that are kind of beyond that frame of inference.""...he'll take a piece of the paper out and put in a new document. And that was just a huge help for me because I do get distracted by just the text on the paper and just the volume of text on the paper. So sometimes if I need to focus in on a paragraph or a section, I'll just cut that out and make a new document, and then just put it back in when I feel like I got it right."In a future episode, they will cover choosing where to submit the paper and how to handle the review process.Episode music: Shapeshifter by Mr Smith is licensed under a Attribution 4.0 International License. https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/https://freemusicarchive.org/music/mr-smith/studio-city/shapeshifter/
