New hope for Lupus patients with Prof Eric Morand (part 2)

"Big Biology Podcast" host Dr. Marty Martin

For this episode, we spoke to Marty Martin from the Big Biology podcast - the best biology podcast around (excluding our own, of course)! Dr. Martin is a professor and biologist at the University of South Florida. Along with co-host Art Woods, he covers some of the biggest unanswered questions in biology. We ask about his research into sparrows as a real-world immunological model, and ask how podcasting complements his work as a professor and researcher.

Back to in-person: the student point of view

After several years of being taught online, returning to campus, or even coming to campus for the first time, created its own set of challenges (and joy!) for students. Yassine, N'Nabintou and Breana, 3 science students at the University of Ottawa who are at different stages of their degree and with very different backgrounds, share with us their experience of the "return to campus". We discuss the good and the bad of remote learning and in-person learning, the need for adjusting and finding the best compromise for both students and teaching staff to create the best learning experience and environment we possibly can.

Research at the Canadian Museum of Nature, with Dr. Danielle Fraser

In our second in a mini-series on science in museums, Elaine and Mike spoke to Dr. Danielle Fraser, paleobiologist and Research Scientist at the Canadian Museum of Nature (Ottawa, Canada). Dr. Fraser wears many other hats too, including Director of the Beaty Centre for Species Discovery, Adjunct Research Professor in Biology and Earth Sciences at Carleton University, and Associate at the Smithsonian National Museum of Natural History. Listen in for a glimpse into research life in museums, how it differs (or doesn't) from university research, and how she can track the diets of animals long after they're dead.
