Into the Bush Episode 206: Dr Johanna Varner
<p>In this episode of Into the Bush, we’re joined by Dr. Johanna Varner—adorably known as “Dr. Pika Jo”—a pika biologist based in Colorado whose path to conservation was anything but linear. From biomedical engineering at MIT to studying one of the cutest alpine mammals on Earth, Jo shares how a wealth of curiosity, a willingness to send cold emails, and incredible women mentors have helped to shape her career.</p><p>We dive into the wild and sometimes silly realities of fieldwork: elusive pikas, failed traps, bears, wildfires, and the art of adapting when nothing goes according to plan. Jo also gives us a masterclass in pika biology—tiny potato-shaped mammals that don’t hibernate, collect massive “hay piles” to survive winter, and communicate with squeaky calls that echo through mountain boulder fields.</p><p>Along the way, we talk science communication, the power of female mentorship, and Jo’s surreal experience being immortalized as a life-size orange statue at the National Mall as part of the IF/THEN initiative. It’s an episode full of laughter, resilience, and deep love for the small, scrappy creatures and the women who move mountains for the planet.</p> <br/><br/>This is a public episode.

Into the Bush Episode 205: Chantira Saifimar
<p>What happens when curiosity leads you underground? In this episode of Into the Bush, we meet Chantira Saifimar, a conservation practitioner from Batam, Indonesia, focused on community-powered island conservation. Chantira reflects on her early roots as a girl who loved her local sea turtles and how that passion now powers conversations, education, and outreach that build a broader, deeper community centered on caring for nature. </p><p>Sometimes these conversations can be easy, fun, and immediately rewarding, but others take courage and true conviction—like when Chantira has to approach poachers in the wild! This conversation centers on how bringing people together is key for conservation success—and the reminder that no one is an island.</p><p>This episode was made possible by the<a target="_blank" href="https://denverzoo.org/zootales/elevating-women-in-conservation/"> </a><a target="_blank" href="https://denverzoo.org/zootales/elevating-women-in-conservation/"><strong>Denver Zoo’s Women Conservation Fund</strong></a>, which supports women like Chantira who are redefining what conservation leadership looks like.</p><p>Learn more about <a target="_blank" href="https://serindit.org/">Serindit Philosophy Centre</a> on their website.</p> <br/><br/>This is a public episode.

Into the Bush Episode 205: Catia Canteiro
<p>What happens when curiosity leads you underground? In this episode of Into the Bush, we sit down with conservation scientist Catia Canteiro to trace her unexpected path from psychology to biology—and into the hidden world of plants and fungi that quietly hold ecosystems together. From mycorrhizal networks that underpin life on Earth to the often-overlooked role of fungi in conservation, Catia invites us to see nature as deeply interconnected, complex, and alive.</p><p>We also talk candidly about navigating science as a woman, holding fast to core values, and the power of mentorship along the way. This is a conversation about listening—to the land, to each other, and to the hidden forces shaping our world.</p><p></p> <br/><br/>This is a public episode.
