003 - Mary Anning and De-extinction: She (Mary Anning) was a Mammoth, of course - Nicki Minaj

In this week's episode Austin and Ulysses are continuing pride month by discussing the ICONIQUE SCIENTIST Sally Ride and their contributions to the space program and science education. For the DEFENCE, we chat about sexual dimorphism, sex roles and sex role reversal, and how sexual selection is based in dated heterocentric ideals. We round out the episode with SCIENTIFIC NOMENCLATURE by stargazing to create astronomy (and astrology) inspired drag names, QUEER RANTING about the stigmas and stereotypes in the queer community, and lastly discussing the submitted QUEERY asking “Should I choose where I go to grad school based on whether I think the location is cool or not. Is that smart?”. Join us back here in at the start of July for the next episode discussing Mary Anning and De-extinction!

We want to acknowledge that we are researching, recording, and editing this podcast on the traditional territories of the people of the Treaty 7 region in Southern Alberta, which includes the Blackfoot Confederacy (comprising the Siksika, Piikani, and Kainai First Nations), as well as the Tsuut’ina First Nation, and the Stoney Nakoda (including the Chiniki, Bearspaw, and Wesley First Nations). The city of Calgary is also home to Métis Nation of Alberta, Region 3.

As biologists, we rely on knowledge pertaining to the land to understand energy flow - Indigenous folks have realized this long before modern biology. It is therefore critical to acknowledge the traditional knowledge, methods, and caretaking of Indigenous peoples towards the land. We encourage the support and exchange of resources designed to help reduce systemic inequities in academia and society in general. This week we would like to highlight the Aboriginal Friendship Center of Calgary. This is another community-based organization dedicated to providing resources to Indigenous folks. Check out the link below for more information.
