Podcasts about steinhart aquarium

Rappin' With ReefBum is a LIVE talk show with host Keith Berkelhamer and guests from the reef keeping community. In this episode I chat with reef keeping legends Julian Sprung & Charles Delbeek.Julian and Charles are very well known for co-authoring a revolutionary series of books called The Reef Aquarium…there are 3 volumes. Julian has published other books and written numerous articles about the hobby. He co-founded his company, Two Little Fishies, with Daniel Ramirez back in 1991. Julian is also a frequent speaker at aquarium conferences and club events.Besides being an author and lecturer, Charles is currently the Curator of Aquarium Projects at Steinhart Aquarium in San Francisco, California. Prior to that we worked at the Waikiki Aquarium with Dr. Bruce Carlson. Charles was also one of the driving forces behind organizing the first ever MACNA in 1989, which was held in Toronto where he lived.

San Francisco Chronicle Culture Critic Peter Hartlaub and California Academy of Sciences Head Librarian Rebekah Kim join the podcast to talk about their favorite bits of Steinhart Aquarium history. Part 2 of 2.

The California Academy of Sciences Head Librarian, Rebekah Kim, joins the podcast to talk about the history of Steinhart Aquarium. Come for the fish, stay for the manatees. Part 1 of 2.

The Steinhart Aquarium in the California Academy of Sciences turned 100 this fall. It's just eight years older than Methusaleh, the 92-year-old lungfish that arrived in 1938. The aquarium is home to 60,000 animals representing 1,000 species. Steinhart was the first public aquarium to display flashlight fish and coconut octopuses and found innovative ways to showcase the ocean's mysterious “twilight zone.” As the Steinhart celebrates its century mark, questions remain about the role aquariums play in wildlife research, conservation, and education. We'll talk to the aquarium's director about its history and future. And we hear from you: what's your favorite aquarium memory? Guests: Bart Shepherd, senior director, Steinhart Aquarium at the California Academy of Sciences Rebekah Kim, head librarian, California Academy of Sciences

Methuselah the Australian lungfish arrived at the Steinhart Aquarium in 1938, when Willie Mays was six years old and Al Capone was still seeing time in Alcatraz. Cal Academy of Sciences biologist Ryan Schaeffer gives Total SF co-hosts Peter Hartlaub and Heather Knight a tour of the famous fish's enclosure, before talking about the life, care, puppy-like quirks and history of the world's oldest fish in a zoological settling. Produced by Peter Hartlaub. Music from the Sunset Shipwrecks off their album "Community," Castro Theatre organist David Hegarty and cable car bell-ringing by 8-time champion Byron Cobb. Follow Total SF adventures at www.sfchronicle.com/totalsf  Learn more about your ad choices.

With the California Academy of Sciences reopening to the public on Oct. 23, Total SF is joined by Bart Shepherd, the senior director of Steinhart Aquarium. Shepherd and host Peter Hartlaub talk about Shepherd's early years working at the old aquarium, the move to 875 Howard Street, and what managing an aquarium has been like during the pandemic. Shepherd also provides an update on Methuselah the Lungfish, at 85+ years old the longest-living fish in captivity. Produced by Peter Hartlaub.

Hear from Steinhart Aquarium's highly skilled animal husbandry team about how they care for Methuselah, our lively eldest Australian lungfish. Learn how Methuselah has inspired and educated visitors to become one of the Academy's most iconic residents.

Biologists in the Steinhart Aquarium use enrichment and training to keep animals—like penguins, stingrays, and macaws—healthy and engaged. It also helps the animals communicate and connect with their caregivers.

In this episode we sit down with Richard Ross who works at the Steinhart Aquarium in California. Rich is a MASNA "Aquarist of the Year" award recipient and is well known for his love of octopuses. He also writes articles for his "Skeptical Reefkeeping" series which you can find at http://packedhead.net/ In this podcast we learn about some of the tasks required to manage the Steinhart's 212,000 gallon reef tank and his home reef. Rich and I discuss how social media has changed the way information about the hobby is disseminated, particularly how opinions are often taken as fact. We also briefly touch on the bill before the legislature in Hawaii and it's potential impact to the trade.   

Science in the age of alternative facts and fake news. Jane McMillan hosts the Executive Director of the California Academy of Sciences, Doctor Jonathon Foley, a globally recognized scientist leading a globally recognized scientific and educational institution working to understand and protect life on Earth.The California Academy of Sciences in Golden Gate Park is home to the Morrison Planetarium, the Kimball Natural History Museum, the Osher Rainforest and the Steinhart Aquarium, with research scientists and projects all over the world.

Researchers from Steinhart Aquarium traveled to South Africa to help save hundreds of penguin chicks from starvation.

Matt Wandell is a biologist at the Steinhart Aquarium at the California Academy of Sciences. His work involves feeding the animals, cleaning the tanks and making sure everything in the aquarium stays healthy. Wandell also participates in research expeditions to survey and help restore coral reefs and collect organisms. He was a key scientists in developing a portable decompression chamber for fish that allows divers to safely transport fish from deep in the ocean's twilight zone up to the surface. Getting paid for what he loves to do, he says, makes this his dream job. This video is part of our Engineering Is: Bringing Fish Up from the Deep e-book. The e-book explores the science and engineering principles behind the California Academy of Sciences’ portable decompression chamber, and includes videos, interactives and media making opportunities. Stay tuned for its release in early April. You can find our other e-books at kqed.org/ebooks.
