This week I sit down with Bradford Bower. We talk about all that goes into monitoring threatened and endangered species.

The episode is wrapped up by one of my favorite installments of would you rather. I hope you all enjoy!


Hosted by researcher Kelby Leary, Natural Science Daily bridges the gap between the lab and the living room. This podcast operates on a simple, vital premise: the incredible work in fields like ecology, biology, and geology often gets lost in technical jargon, leaving the public disconnected from the natural world they're a part of. Each episode is a direct conversation with the people doing the hands-on work, dismantling the mystery of scientific process. You'll hear the nuanced stories behind the headlines-what it actually feels like to carefully handle a rare beetle for cataloging, the unexpected challenges of tracking animal populations in remote locations, or the quiet breakthroughs happening in local field stations. It’s about the *how* and the *why*, not just the what. By focusing on the daily realities of research, this series makes the vast universe of natural science feel accessible, immediate, and deeply human. Tune in for genuine, unscripted insights that replace abstraction with the tangible sounds, stories, and struggles of discovery.
