Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

The Story Behind Find That Lizard - A Conversation with Dr. McGee
Q: Why is increasing diversity in conservation and science important, from your perspective?
Diversity expands access and perspectives, helping more people engage with nature and contribute to conservation, while also addressing historic barriers that have kept underrepresented groups from entering the field.
Cheetahs - Part 2: The Unexpected Science and Art of Connecting with Wildlife
Q: So how does saving a cheetah help someone here in the United States?
Saving cheetahs helps by preserving healthy ecosystems that provide clean water, air, and biodiversity, which ultimately benefits people everywhere, including those in the United States, by maintaining ecological services and inspiring conservation actions that cross borders.
Can Nature Reconnect Us In a Time of Loneliness and Division: The Heart of 'In Our Nature'
Q: What did you find surprising during the filmmaking process, particularly around kids' relationship with screens and nature?
Parker notes unexpected shifts in younger generations who, once exposed to nature and hands-on activities like urban gardening, recognize the meaning and purpose of nature beyond screen time, underscoring the film's message about accessible nature for all ages.
Can Nature Reconnect Us In a Time of Loneliness and Division: The Heart of 'In Our Nature'
Q: Why was it important to tell this story through three different places, and what was the drive behind making a 60-minute film?
James Parker explains that the film aims to highlight individual human stories across Chicago, Kentucky, and San Antonio to reveal how nature-based education acts as a community bridge, while addressing disconnection and partisan divides. The format allows a nuanced look at local solutions rather than a single narrative.
An Artichokes with Legs? An Anteater with Scales?Nope - It's a Pangolin!
Q: What is a pangolin, and how are they different from anteaters or other similar animals?
Pangolins are a distinct group of scale-covered mammals whose closest relatives trace back to carnivores; they are not anteaters or birds, and their unique scales, insectivorous diet, and behavior set them apart.
