No Cortisol Left to Give with Dr. Lindsey VanSandt of CREW at the Cincinnati Zoo

Today, the Safari returns to Cincinnati for one of the funniest and most fascinating guests that's ever been on the podcast! Dr. VanSandt has one of the craziest origin stories and is one of the best storytellers I've ever encountered. Add to that a brilliant mind doing incredible work for animals, and you've got one of my favorite episodes ever.  EPISODE LINKS:  @cincinnatizoo  cincinnatizoo.org ROSSIFARI LINKS:  Rossifari.com  @rossifari on socials  @rossifaripod on TikTok  Patreon.com/rossifari to support  Join the new Rossifari Discord at: https://discord.gg/AHFjXZHEU [https://discord.gg/AHFjXZHEU]

Just Three Drs. (Two Doctors and a Drummer) Talking with Dr. Jenn Torpie and Dr. Shafkat Khan of the Pittsburgh Zoo and Aquarium and SAFE Red Panda

Today, the Safari heads to Pittsburgh to sit down with two of my favorite colleagues of all time: Jenn and Shafkat! These are two fellow members of the Executive Committee of SAFE Red Panda, and we have spent the last few years working together to build the program into something we are all super proud of. We dive into that, talk about the conservation and education work they do at the zoo, and of course sneak in a chat about a binturong!  EPISODE LINKS:  @saferedpanda  @pittsburghzoo  pittsburghzoo.org  ROSSIFARI LINKS:  Rossifari.com  Patreon.com/rossifari to support the pod  @rossifari on socials  @rossifaripod on TikTok  Join the new Rossifari Discord:  https://discord.gg/rQSwMuetj [https://discord.gg/rQSwMuetj]
