tap tap🎙is this thing on? WE'RE BAAAAAACK! With our final episode of SEASON 2! Ok so, you've done it--you've gone on gotten that #tenuretrack assistant TO THE professorship--now what? Listen to @steph_spera and @loopdlupien reflect on their journeys over the last couple of years through the academy. It’s not all rosy, but we also have the freedom to record a podcast at work LOL!
HOLD STILL! 📸 This week on @_howwegothere_ , @steph_spera and @loopdlupien talk with their friend @jtkerby . Jeff Kerby is an award-winning natural history photographer (and scientist!) who photographed his first feature story for @natgeo in 2017 on gelada monkeys, and just this past month, they named one of his photos (of a monkey... giving birth #nsfw) one of the 100 Best Photos from this Century. N.B.D. Listen! Share! Follow him on instagram! Do it!
This week on #HowWeGotHere @steph_spera and @loopdlupien chat with @groundwork_usa urban planner 🌳👯♀️🏢🌳 Cate Mingoya! Apparently urban planners just... do it all. Cate works with communities to improve their #environmental, #economic, and #social conditions, increase the likelihood of upward mobility, and improve health and overall quality of life. N. B. D.
New episode for your holiday travels! This week we talk to composer-performer @bencosgrovemusic whose music explores themes of #landscape, #place, and #environment.
.
Ben has collaborated with groups ranging from rock bands to research scientists, and held residencies and fellowships with institutions including @nationalparkservice , @u.s.forestservice , and @nasa .
.
The gang talks piano lessons, flutist v floutist debate, and not being deterred when your college declines your proposal for an interdisciplinary major... what the heck, man.
On this episode of How We Got Here, we speak with Aja Barber (@ajabarber )—writer, stylist, consultant, activist—whose work deals with the intersection of #sustainability, #fashion, #colonialism, #feminism, and more. WHEW!
.
Aja tells us all about how she's found herself with a job that didn’t even exist just 10 years ago, and how dads are the kings of slow fashion (but also gender norms and social pressures UGH!).
.
Check out her NEW BOOK "Consumed" to continue this journey with Aja!
Scientist turned #policy maker… ahh, yes, we can all dream! This week we talk to the many-a-hat-wearing @cassy_ashley , who works for the state of Maine in the Governor’s Office of Policy Innovation and… the Future. So cool. Cassy is the Senior Science Analyst and Climate Council Coordinator (CCC for those in the know), where she uses her science background to form policy and organize a huge group of volunteers.
Listen to Cassy tell us all about her early love for the ocean, including the time she touched a SHARK 🐬, her journey to the governor’s office, and her cats @tavi.and.max . We talk a lot about cats. As per usual.
We're going to release our next episode tomorrow featuring @tavi.and.max and their owner @cassy_ashley ! Stay tuned for a fun interview about Cassy's #climate policy work for the state of Maine! Meow.
👩🌾👩🌾👩🌾 How ‘bout them apples! This week, we sit down with farmHER (yes, so sorry) @fieldstonefarmer of Field Stone Farm in lovely Northfield, Vermont. We talk about favorite vegetables 🥕, favorite flowers 🌺, and how Hannah became a climate-friendly farmer who utilizes regenerative, no-till practices to generate healthy soil. Her journey involves driving all over the country and interviewing people doing sustainable things. She maybe chatted with a cult leader. Maybe.
