Today I'm at The University of Tennessee, Knoxville speaking with Kimberly Sheldon all about dung beetles!
Kim studies the patterns and processes that determine the distribution of species and use this information to predict impacts of anthropogenic change on species and ecological communities.

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 learning about virtual education and how technology is helping teach students about otherwise complex topics.
Henry Gee is the author of ‘A (Very) Short History of Life on Earth’ - winner Royal Society Science Book Award 2022 and more notably, one of Shane's favorite books :)
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!
