An Applied Ecologist, and a Biogeochemist, Kris works to integrate his research into solutions for managing human dominated landscapes for multiple values. After designing the global study that provided the first robust estimate of number of trees on earth (3.04 trillion), Kris turned his focus to large-scale soil carbon mapping using a novel combination of existing technologies. Prior to joining the faculty at Skidmore College, Dr. Covey was the Lead Scientist at the Ucross High Plains Stewardship Initiative and a Lecturer in Forest Dynamics at the Yale School of Forestry and Environmental Studies. There, he co-founded the Western Research Fellowship at the Ucross Highplains Stewardship Initiative and the Quick Carbon research program, served as a member of the School's Diversity and Inclusion Strategy Committee, and as a member of Yale University's Carbon Offset Task Force. As a contributor to the Global Carbon Project's Methane Working Group, Kris authored the vegetation section of the Global Methane Budget. He serves as a member of the Board of Trusties for The Adirondack Nature Conservancy and the New York State Wood Products Development Council. In 2020 Kris Co-Founded The Soil Inventory Project (TSIP.org) along with Bruno Basso. Together with private, industry, academic, and foundation partners they are building a distributed national-scale soil inventory system to inform soil management and markets. Through a novel combination of app-based automated sampling design, and distributed soil sampling tools allowing anyone to collect near surface soil samples, TSIP is building regional scale models capable of linking individual producer practices to measurable outcomes.Music CreditsIntro: Givin Me Eyes by Grace MesaOutro: Never Ending Soul Groove by Mattijs MullerSupport the showThanks for listening!

Dr. Samantha Shune is an associate professor and the director of the Communication Disorders and Sciences Program at the University of Oregon. Prior to returning to school for her PhD and throughout her doctoral program, she worked as a speech-language pathologist across a number of healthcare settings. Her primary area of interest is dysphagia, particularly in terms of exploring the impact of disruptions to the eating and swallowing process on the individual and their family system. Michele Vandehey, MS, CCC-SLP, is a clinical supervisor for graduate student clinicians at the University of Oregon in the Brain Injury and Concussion Clinic. Michele also continues to work in the medical setting, specifically acute care, and inpatient rehabilitation as a medical speech-language pathologist. She completed her coursework and thesis in dysphagia at Idaho State University. She is also the daughter of a stroke survivor who experienced severe dysphagia, and cognitive- communication deficits who she provided support to within the home and community for nearly 20 years. Her clinical and research interests primarily center on identifying dysphagia and its impact on individuals and their families, including how to foster improved functional outcomes.

This course features Samantha Shune, Ph.D., CCC-SLP, Associate Professor and Director of the Communication Disorders and Sciences Program at the University of Oregon. This conversational format explores the biopsychosocial disability that results from dysphagia, influencing both the individual and larger family system. In particular, Samantha will discuss the profound impacts dysphagia has on the caregiver and highlight a new screening tool available to probe for dysphagia-related caregiver burden. By framing swallowing within the broader contexts of eating/mealtime and socialization, speech-language pathologists can target dysphagia more holistically, improving health and quality of life for the individuals and their families.

Scholarly Writing is a skill that requires practice – this podcast gives you tips and techniques to hone this critically important skill. “The magic of writing is the magic of discovery.”“Writing is intercourse…there's other people involved and there's an intimacy and, a need for connection...”“Writing is communication without you being in the room…it all has to be there on the page.”“Good writing is like good bricklaying. It's a craft. You've got to do it for it to be good. And if you don't practice it, it's gunna suck.”“It's only by finding ourselves through our writing that we become the better scholar that we want to be to make that impact.”Top 10 Tips:1.    Go old-school - get out a pen and paper and write long-hand. This builds in a major edit as you input your writing into your computer. 2.    Editing is KEY to better writing – this means just go for it with your first draft. Just write!3.    Change where you write/edit. Literally change the place where you write to move through a block.4.    Reduce that dreaded passive voice: Print your essay and circle every “is” and then edit. 5.    Remember you are writing for your reader – be mindful of this.6.    Model, model, model!!! Find a favorite paragraph that resonates with you. Re-write it with your topic, following exactly that syntax. Mimic the syntax. 7.    Read journals in your field. 8.    Discover what journal you want to be published in, find an article. Mimic it with your research. 9.    Engage with what you are reading. Develop a relationship with the writing you are reading. 10. Paragraph transitions are critical! Think about your writing like giving a gallery tour. Take your reader on a tour.“So I guess we just need another generation of professors who are a little more heartful, a little less heart, less, a little less arrogant.” William “Memo” Nericcio has his Ph.D. in Comparative Literature from Cornell University.

Ahead of the Federal Leaders debate in Gatinueau, Quebec, a look at the parties going into the event. Guest: Dr. Lydia Miljan, Associate Professor, Director, Bachelor of Arts and Sciences Program 

We've been getting a lot of questions lately about how to start a career in behavioral science. To shed some light on different career paths, we're doing a series of podcasts on different types of training that fall somewhere between a one-day workshop and a PhD. These aren't advertisements for the programs, but are meant to give you a sense of the kinds of options out there, should you decide to pursue a career in behavioral science. In our second Behavioral Science Training installment, Erik and Zarak are joined by Christopher Nave, Associate Director of the University of Pennsylvania’s Master of Behavioral and Decision Sciences program. Chris shares his passion for bringing together graduate students from diverse industries, backgrounds, and disciplines in order to study decision-making and better understand sustainable behavior change. Chris explains how measurement, data science, and experimental design are crucial to applying academic concepts like cognitive biases and heuristics to the real world.

A Virginia Family's Rise from Slavery and a Legacy Forged a Mile High Event Date: Apr 04, 2018 Event Time: 6:30pm Location: Old Main Chapel In 1918 Lucile Berkeley Buchanan Jones received her bachelor's degree from the University of Colorado, becoming its first African American graduate (though she was not allowed to "walk" at graduation, nor is she pictured in the 1918 CU yearbook). The first-born daughter of emancipated slaves, Lucile refused to be defined by the racist and sexist climate of her times, settling on a career path in teaching that required great courage in the face of pernicious Jim Crow laws. This personal story has great relevance to our times and has lessons of consequence that can guide the CU community as we seek to assess the present and work for a better future. This was the first in what will be an annual lecture series on the black experience in the West entitled the Lucille Berkeley Buchanan Lecture. Polly E. Bugros McLean is associate professor of media studies at the University of Colorado Boulder, where she has served as director of Women and Gender Studies and as the faculty associate to the Chancellor. She is the recipient of the Chancellor's Committee on Women Award, the Chancellor’s Equity and Excellence Award, Robert L. Stearns Award, the Edward R. Murrow Award for teaching excellence, and the Best Should Teach Gold Award. This event is part of a series of Lucile Berkeley Buchanan commemoration events and is co-sponsored by: The Department of German And Slavic Languages and Literature. Women and Gender Studies. Ethnic Studies. College of Media, Information, and Communication. College of Arts and Sciences. The Office of Diversity, Equity, and Community Engagement. Miramontes Arts and Sciences Program.

In a unique approach to exploring transformations in land use, Carson Fellow Anne Milne uses poetry from the laboring class in eighteenth century Britain to understand different perceptions of nature during this era. These poets were often described as “natural geniuses.” Milne considers how nature figured in the representation of these poets as individuals; her work also aims to track changes in land use. Anne Milne is an ecocritic who specializes in restoration and eighteenth-century British literature. She currently teaches in the Bachelor of Arts and Sciences Program at the University of Guelph, Canada.
