#15: The Story of an Emerging Wildlife Virus Featuring the Pathologist on the Frontlines, Dr. David Needle
Anytime a wildlife disease story gets covered in mainstream news media, we get excited! In January 2022, a news story about Skunk Adenovirus 1 causing mortality in porcupines caught our attention. In this episode, we chat with Dr. David Needle, senior pathologist at the New Hampshire Veterinary Diagnostic Lab and the first person to diagnose Skunk Adenovirus 1 in the U.S. Since then, he’s been studying this emerging wildlife disease as it keeps popping up in different species.

#14: Lead (Pb), Raptors of the Greater Yellowstone Ecosystem, and a New Initiative with Biologist Bryan Bedrosian
The Yellowstone area is a hub of North American wildlife, but lead (Pb) poisoning via ingestion of Pb hunting ammunition remains a serious concern for some species. The interplay of the Yellowstone area as an important area for both wildlife and human activities such as hunting is undoubtedly complex. In this episode, we dive into the issue with Bryan Bedrosian, Conservation Director of the Teton Raptor Center as well as the Director & Co-founder of Sporting Lead Free. Bryan has spent the past 2 decades studying the issue of lead in many species in the Greater Yellowstone Ecosystem including eagles and ravens. We discuss the various pathways of lead exposure and its impacts on wildlife, as well as the challenges of capturing and sampling raptors and ravens in the wild. We dive into the Sporting Lead Free initiative with Bryan and discuss their efforts to drive non-political, voluntary reductions in lead consumption by wildlife and people. Let's Go! We’re a podcast with a purpose! One of our main goals is to support all the individuals and organizations fighting the good fight and working to keep our wildlife and ecosystems healthy.
