#third pod

https://thirdpodfromthesun.com/2021/12/25/staff-picks-chasing-narwhals/Ever wondered what it is like to study narwhals, what polar bear fur actually feels like & how #ClimateChange is impacting these animals? Biologist Kristin Laidre has some answers in our latest Third Pod from the Sun podcast episode https://thirdpodfromthesun.com/2021/12/25/staff-picks-chasing-narwhals/⁠

Emily Williams has traveled the world in search of birds. As a biologist, she’s worked in Kansas, Argentina, Australia, and Denali, and studied loons, flycatchers, kingbirds, and more. And even with all these experiences and diverse species interactions, she’s now landed (ha, get it?!) on studying the common robin. 

We talked with her about unseen pitfalls of catching birds in cities, protecting your food from monkeys in Peru, and what we can learn about the under-appreciated robin. https://blogs.agu.org/thirdpodfromthesun/2022/05/27/true-story-migrating-robins-thieving-capuchins/

When we say “shark”, what do you think? Well, there’s a good chance it’s not something good. 

Let’s change that. 

We chatted w/ shark biologist David Shiffman about fighting shark misinformation, painful field experiences, & more! https://blogs.agu.org/thirdpodfromthesun/2022/04/29/true-story-slapped-by-a-misinformation-shark/ 

What’s is like to get slapped by a shark? Lasso a lizard? Be a Martian on Earth?

OR

What’s the biggest fish you’ve ever swam w/? Your most awkward bathroom experience? How about your fav experience w/ a monkey?

Can’t relate? Or (intriguingly), can you?!

Well, join us every week (yep, we’re going weekly!) to learn more via true stories from scientists, for everyone! https://blogs.agu.org/thirdpodfromthesun/2022/04/22/true-science-stories-youve-never-heard-before/
