Winging It! From Curiosity to a Scientific Fact
We’re going to be a different kind of science podcast. Most science podcasts are about finished science—refined, cleaned up, and previously published in peer-reviewed literature. In this one, we will start with curiosity and work towards scientific discovery and publication at the end. Darwin began his discoveries with a voyage around the world on the HMS Beagle. He observed. He reported his observations. And born out of his unrelenting curiosity made THE most important discovery in the last two centuries—Evolution through natural selection (move over Einstein, you were bested).
This is also about birds. About listening to birds. About finding how birds live. So join us. Let’s get curious, and then let’s get full-on sciency. We are going to have fun.
Winging It! From Curiosity to a Scientific Fact
Discovering the Sounds of the World in Rock Canyon
Join professor of biology Steven Peck and two new students discovering the sounds of the world. Vibalia is from India, and Courtney is from the USA. Listen as they explore Rock Canyon for birds and their interaction with each other, the noise of rivers, and the sound pollution of humans. How do birds adapt to a world where the soundscape becomes a resource needed for survival?
As promised in the podcast, here is a video of Tropical Manikins Dancing!
