We want to bring weird science to the general public, help researchers share their science, and simply explore the world around us. We're excited to bring you along on our journey every other Tuesday!

We're back! Sorry for yet another long break, but I had a lot of work to do to prepare for my PhD Preliminary exams. In this episode we'll explain what those are and why they deserved all of my attention.

Episode 65 - Going, Going, Gone - the American Burying Beetle
We're back with tragic news! The government has decided to remove the American Burying Beetle from the endangered species list, thus revoking its protection! The American Burying Beetle has reportedly made a comeback, but is still projected for extinction. Does one species of beetle lost matter? Should we fight for it? How many other have shared this fate? Listen to gain insight on these questions and more!

Book club #5 - Fatal Invention
This week we're talking about Fatal Invention by Dorothy Roberts. It's a book all about how science has been perpetuating race as a biological construct when it is actually a social construct. This book is one Caitlin and I picked up to help educate ourselves on the struggle that Black people in America face every single day. But this book also talks a bit about Latinx and Indigenous people as well. We are still learning, so please reach out to us if we said anything incorrectly in this episode, we would like to take responsibility for that. Thank you for listening and we hope you take a moment afterwards to put yourself in someone else's shoes!
