A podcast exploring introduced and invasive species around the world, discussing the ecology as well as challenges and solutions surrounding invasive species in their non-native habitats.

Exploring Yourself

Exploring Yourself
Season 2 finale special!An ecologist might tell you that even though we often put things into neat little categories, everything is actually on a spectrum. A conservationist might tell you that social justice is environmental justice.  And a wise person might tell you that if you don't first feel good with your environment and yourself, you will never have the energy or drive to be able to really put your best into anything you do, whether it is research, engineering, writing, art... and everything in between. With that in mind,  we invited Wynter Appleford, founder of The (Trans)cribe, and their partner Aiden, to chat with us about their project on Gender Ecology, and how one can use naturalist methods to explore ourselves, focusing on gender and where we feel like we fit on this spectrum. Enjoy!For new listeners, our podcast is “Serious about research, and less serious about delivery”...Please note we do not do a lot of editing and what some might consider “offensive language” comes up from time to time in our episodes, so we hope you can sit back, learn something, and have a laugh with us! The Anthropo Scene is an independent project by young ecologists who are passionate about sharing interesting information surrounding the complicated story of introduced and invasive species around the world.
