Join Lexi Bolger as she weaves together a podcast about what youth learned in her 4-H paleontology summer camp. For her master’s thesis, she created the Paleo Podcast from a compilation of interviews that youth recorded during 4-H summer camp about paleontology and science podcasting that she designed, implemented, and researched. She co-created the camp with her advisor, Dr. Jamie Loizzo, and a graduate student from the Florida Museum of Natural History, Luis Torres.

Scientific and artistic endeavors are used to explore and understand the world around us. Art helps visualize data and communicate results and the integration of art into science yields immeasurably better science. Join this conversation with Alejandra Enriquez, a science communicator at the National Oceanographic and Atmospheric Administration as she talks about her journey in science, her experience with The Nature Conservancy’s Women in Climate Coalition, and how she combines her scientific and artistic backgrounds. Through this conversation, I hope you gain insight into how Alejandra is working toward creating climate change solutions through marine biology art and what you can do to combat climate change.

Ever wondered how paleontologists reconstruct past climates? What can this knowledge be used for? Dive into this discussion with Dr. Raquel Bryant, an Assistant Professor of Earth and Environmental Sciences at Wesleyan University to learn how microscopic fossils can be used in understanding how the ocean and its ecosystems respond to intervals of global warmth in the geologic past. Hosted by UF Agricultural Education and Communication graduate student Lexi Bolger, this conversation is sure to teach you something new about the importance of combining social science with the geosciences. This episode was made in partnership with UF’s Department of Agricultural Education and Communication.
