Bird flu has spread at astonishing speed and with little discretion for what it infects. Since first emerging, the strain of H5N1 has infected wild birds, commercially raised chickens, seals, dairy cows, and, yes, even humans. Late last week, Woodland Park Zoo announced that a red breasted goose died in a suspected case of bird flu. The zoo quickly isolated birds and restricted access to them.  Meanwhile, just north of Washington in British Columbia, a teenager was hospitalized in critical condition after contracting bird flu. The teen had no known contact with infected animals. This comes after 11 Washington farm workers contracted the virus in October.  As the Northwest sees notable bird flu events, how much do we need to be concerned? Guest: Dr. Peter Rabinowitz, professor, physician, and director of the University of Washington's Center for One Health Research. Relevant Links: KUOW: With the U.S. bird flu outbreak uncontained, scientists see growing risks KUOW: Bird flu is now spreading to cattle. Should Washington dairy farmers be worried?   Thank you to the supporters of KUOW, you help make this show possible!

What’s Trending: Yet another Starbucks location in downtown Seattle is closing, but this time it may not only be due to crime. The baby gorilla at Woodland Park Zoo that was rejected by its mother has found a new home in Louisville. As the political temperature increases across the country, voting centers in Washington State are beefing up with extra security. // LongForm: GUEST: Burien Mayor Kevin Schilling weighs in after winning a legal battle with the King County Sheriff, who still refuses to enforce the city’s homeless ordinance. // The Quick Hit: King Metro is experiencing more ridership and boasting a decline in crime, but plenty of issues remain.

In this week's episode, both of our storytellers have a passion for science that can't be suppressed. Part 1: As a zoo volunteer, Lisa Yeager adores sharing her love of the wild, but one zoo patron is ruining that for her. Part 2: Anna yearns to be a scientist, but her strict mormon family doesn't want her to become one. Lisa Yeager started her career as an environmental educator and bookstore manager in Anchorage, AK. She shifted to build a career in project management after earning her MBA at the University of Washington. She currently works as a Program Manager for Fred Hutchinson Cancer Center where she works to bring innovation and transformational change to business practices and collaboration. Lisa built her life in Seattle after attending UW because where else are you within a day of ocean, sound, volcano, shrub-steppe, lakes and two mountain ranges? With 10+ years as an informal education volunteer at Woodland Park Zoo, she is exploring ways to translate her business background and a recent second master's in biology to support climate change education and advocacy. She serves on the governing council for the National Network for Ocean and Climate Change Interpretation, and received a Cee-Change fellowship and grant funding from the North American Association of Environmental Education. She is a previous board member of the International Applied Improvisation Network. She is the co-founder of Yes and Nature Collaborative (climateconversations.net), which combines scientific data, communication theory, and improvisational theater techniques to help people have more effective conversations about climate change and nature. Anna is a naturalist and aquatic entomologist. Going to school in Utah gave her the opportunity for a backyard mountain classroom. She got to learn about migration patterns of mule deer, moose, elk, and pronghorn through GPS collaring initiatives led by the Department of Natural Resources. Her coursework helped her learn how to identify all the plants and animals native to the desert, valley, and mountainous regions of Utah. Monitoring the restoration of a canyon after wildfires, flash floods, and debris flows bolstered her knowledge of the resilience of native flora and fauna to historical natural disaster regimes. She found purpose, love, and life in those experiences. Now Anna gets to connect to the parks and people within NYC, as well as challenge herself through a doctoral program studying the evolutionary history of stoneflies. These insects are fundamental to maintaining the health and balance of freshwater ecosystems, but many populations around the globe are experiencing substantial declines due to human interference and climate change. *For privacy reasons, Anna's last name has been withheld.

What is the “humanities gap” — and why is it a huge opportunity for museums?Why can't everybody be a philanthropist for the day? What does “cultural literacy” mean, and how can it unlock new approaches to the collections we put on display? Why could a shortfall in humanities funding suggest new ways for museums to be relevant? Why shouldn't a museum buy products and services from its own community?Michele Y. Smith (CEO, Museum of Popular Culture) joins host Jonathan Alger (Managing Partner, C&G Partners) to talk about “A Guitar That Teaches Civil Rights”.Along the way: preserving 80,000 artifacts, how revenue drives mission, and why George Clooney's Batman costume is missing its cape.Talking Points:1. MoPOP: a museum designed like a guitar melting.2. Schools have a humanities gap — museums can help.3.  How “cultural literacy” makes subjects relevant.4. How a guitar can teach civil rights…5. … and WALL-E can teach climate change.6. Achieving financial independence from the founder.7. Why not open the annual gala to the community?8. Why not do F&B with local and BIPOC vendors?How to Listen:Apple Podcastshttps://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/making-the-museum/id1674901311  Spotifyhttps://open.spotify.com/show/6oP4QJR7yxv7Rs7VqIpI1G  Everywherehttps://makingthemuseum.transistor.fm/  Guest Bio:Michele Y.
