22. Coffee, GMOs, and Defaulting Towards Life w/ Dr. Kerry Mayfield

Coffee. Coffee coffee coffee. Coffee coffee. Coooofffffeeeeee!

Ok so on this episode, I talk with Dr. Kerry Mayfield about plant breeding, his awesome coffee roasting business (have I mentioned that I love coffee), traveling the world, the ethics and philosophy of science, and so much more awesome stuff. We couldn't nearly fit everything we wanted to cover into an hour or less, so we'll just have to have Kerry back on one day to chat again. Enjoy today's wonderful episode and don't forget to default towards life!

19. Real Talk, Oranges, and Total 4-Year-Old Anarchy w/ Bradley Baliga

I'll be honest, my heart is super heavy this week and I struggled with today's episode. Between my first plan falling through and just not feeling my backup idea, I was pretty lost until I remembered this little recording I did with my son Bradley from the end of March. It's silly, kind of pointless, and chaotic, and I hope it's a fun distraction from...well all the everything going on. Hang in there, friends. Be bold, smart, and kind in all your interactions and in your lives.

18. Wild Green Memes, Ecological Fiends, and Guerrilla Conservation w/ Rhett Barker and Curtis Sarkin

Memes. Olives. Guerrilla ecologists. What do all these things have in common? We talk about them all in this awesome episode with Rhett Barker and Curtis Sarkin from Wild Green Memes for Ecological Fiends. They were gracious enough to re-record with me after I had some technical problems and I'm so glad they did. We laugh a ton about memes and get serious about ecology. You're going to love it!

Y'all, I'm so excited for you to hear this one. Abby Morrison is the

Episode 16: Paige Boyle- Women in STEM, Academic Twitter, and Mind-blowing Earthworms

Hey Plant People! I'm SO excited about today's episode. Paige Boyle is a Presidential Doctoral Research Fellow at Utah State, an advocate for Women in STEM, a self-proclaimed "earthworm whisperer," and a wonderful human. We talked about her experiences in graduate school, how completely freaking WILD earthworms are, how to plug in as a graduate student (and important it is to be able to say now), and what's it's like to be a woman in a STEM field. It was so much chatting with her and I think you'll get a lot out of this conversation!
