   Ep 9 - Things You Should Know About Climate Change

   Climate change is one complicated topic. So much of what we do affects climate change. And there’s so much about climate change that affects us – even if we don’t realize it. So today, I’m going to talk about a couple of those complexities. I’m going to break down 5 things that you might not know about climate change.

   Ep. 8 - Ask an (almost) Ecologist with Cierra Dawson

   If you’re listening to this podcast, I’m guessing you’re at least somewhat interested in environmental science or ecology. Maybe you’re already an expert. Or maybe you’re brand new to this topic. Either way, we all learn about it somewhere – whether that’s at a university or more informally. And today that’s what we’re talking about. Cierra Dawson is a student at Oregon State University, about to get her Bachelor’s of Science in Environmental Science, with a specialization in Ecology. And as an “almost” ecologist, she has a lot to share about her experience and her journey. If you’re on a similar journey or just want to learn more about ecology, hopefully, this episode can help you out.
