Episode Description: Science Communicator Tyus Williams tells us a story on this year Black History Month of his late night epiphany on the interconnectedness of ourselves to the world around us and that the beauty of this Earth is a rarity worth protecting.
In their own words: Tyus Williams is a third-year Ph.D. Candidate and NSF fellow at the University of California, Berkeley in the Schell lab and Brashares Lab studying carnivore ecology and spatial ecology. Currently, he’s studying how the ecological impacts from free-roaming domestic cats in the East Bay region might be facilitated by urban environments. Utilizing research techniques such as camera trapping and analyzing behavioral patterns, Tyus is interested in revealing how human-dominated landscapes may indirectly mediate collision within wildlife communities. In 2022, upon entering graduate school, he debuted with his first book alongside Macmillan publishing titled ‘A Day in the Life: Big Cats’, which received a Kirkus star review, and placed within the ‘Best Picture Books of 2022 for the Animal Lovers’ book list. Lastly, Tyus is also a passionate science communicator, firmly believing that people cannot fully harness the intellectual merits of science without engaging the public in an inclusive effort.

Resisting Late Stage EcoFascism:
1.) Get involved locally. There are environment, climate change issues that are impacting your community. Get involved on the local, grassroots level.
2.) Don’t get discouraged. Get informed, know the facts (and yes, there is such a thing as factual information) and don’t lose your resolve.
