More from Here We Are
This episode comes from a conversation with the Director of Life Sciences here at the University of Nevada, Las Vegas.
Today, I sit down with Andrew Kerr, head of the Dale Etheridge Planetarium in Las Vegas!
Today I'm at The University of Tennessee, Knoxville speaking with Kimberly Sheldon all about dung beetles!
Today I'm learning about virtual education and how technology is helping teach students about otherwise complex topics.
Birds, animal communication, evolution, environmental pressures, and human impacts. This conversation was very much in the Here We Are wheelhouse which made for a loose, funny, and fascinating episode!
