For this episode of BioScience Talks, we're joined by two guests, Brittany Mason, a Data Management Analyst at the University of Florida, and Corey Callaghan, Assistant Professor at the University of Florida in the Department of Wildlife Ecology and Conservation. They were here to discuss their recent BioScience article, iNaturalist Accelerates Biodiversity Research.

For this episode of BioScience Talks, we were joined by Dr. Kristy Ferraro, who is a Banting Postdoctoral Fellow at Memorial University in Newfoundland and Labrador, and Adam Meyer, a PhD candidate in the Ecosystem Ecology Lab, also at Memorial University. They were here to talk about their recent article in BioScience, "Beyond hero and villain narratives in ecology and conservation science," in which they discuss storytelling and narratives in science writing—and explain which approaches work best.

For this episode of BioScience Talks, we're joined by Olivia del Giorgio, at McGill University Department of Geography, in Montreal, Quebec, María Piquer-Rodríguez, at the Institute of Geographical Sciences, at Freie Universität, Berlin, Germany, and Silvia Lomáscolo, at the Institute of Regional Ecology at University of Tucumán and CONICET, in Argentina. They were here to discuss their recent BioScience Viewpoint "Systemic Sexism in Academia - An Early Career Viewpoint."

For this episode of BioScience Talks, we're joined by Dr. Patt Finnerty, a postdoctoral research fellow in the Global Ecology Lab at the University of Sydney. We discussed his recent BioScience article, Urban Rewilding to Combat Global Biodiversity Decline.

For this episode of BioScience Talks, we're joined by Marco Malavasi, plant ecologist and cartographer at the University of Sassari, in Italy. We discussed his recent BioScience article "Beyond crisis and grief: Rethinking conservation narratives," which serves as a guide to more productively communicating about—and thinking about—conservation in a rapidly changing world.

For this episode of BioScience Talks, we're joined by John Bates, Curator of Birds at the Field Museum, Sushma Reddy, Breckenridge Chair of Ornithology at the University of Minnesota and the Bell Museum, and Rachael Herman, Postdoctoral Research Fellow at Stonybrook University.

Our guests were here to chat about a recent research trip to the Falkland Islands, and more specifically, about the gentoo penguins they were studying on those islands.

Pictures from the trip can be viewed on YouTube.

Be sure to check out the fantastic Birds of a Feather Talk Together podcast, cohosted by guest John Bates.
