26. Grieving the Loss of Pets | A Conversation with Veterinarian Dr. Kelly Slattery Jan 03, 2023

Show notes

In this week's conversation, we speak with Dr. Kelly Slattery of Home & Shore Vet about grief in specific context to the non-human members of our families.

Grief and losing a loved one, human or non-human, is something nearly all of us have experienced and we feel the topic of grief is a really important one to cover and one that is often shied away from because, well, it's a tough subject.

But Kelly walked with us through this whole conversation with grace and a deep understanding of the beautiful bond we have with our pets, and why it's so hard to lose them. We're so grateful to Kelly for her kindness and the grounded space she created for this episode.

We are dedicating this episode to not only the loved ones we have lost, but to the people who are going through a tough time. We hope you feel seen and heard and maybe not so alone.

Lots of Love.

25. The Morphology of Dogs | A Conversation with Dr. Elaine Ostrander, Chief and Investigator of the Cancer Genetics and Comparative Genomics Branch at the National Institutes of Health Dec 20, 2022

Show notes

In this week's conversation, we speak with Dr. Elaine Ostrander about all things dogs and why they look like they do. In layman's terms, Dr. Ostrander explains how dogs don't often look like their closest genetic relatives, the wolf. She answers the long standing question and for us the mystery, of how Freddy the Great Dane doesn't look like Franky the Dachshund. We might even have those fancy Victorians to thank for it.

Show notes

This episode consists of Part 1 & Part 2.

In this week's conversation, we speak with Ecologist Monica Gagliano about her groundbreaking research with plants in context to perception, learning, memory, cognition, and intelligence. Her work opens a new awareness of how we perceive the plant world and challenges traditional thinking about plant and animal intelligence, and how we might connect on a much deeper level than we ever thought. We hear about the patient little Mimosa plant, or Sensitive plant, and how they learn, remember and react.

We hear her intimate account of what little baby chimps go through when they are taken from their killed mothers and what a life resulting from the illegal selling of our closest relatives looks like.
