Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Sea Scallop Research with Kyle Brennan
Q: What's currently your... Maybe mortality rate is a good metric to see if you have success with any of the probiotics that you've been testing.
One candidate performed well through the tests. Brennan says it may help larvae take up nutrients, grow faster, and pass through a vulnerable stage, while another candidate stopped disease but also prevented larvae from feeding.
Sea Scallop Research with Kyle Brennan
Q: So you now work with sea scallops. And what does your research entail?
Brennan's research tests probiotics that could improve sea scallop larvae survival and growth in hatcheries, helping provide seed to farmers.
Going Batty: Myths, Misconceptions and Maine’s Bats
Q: Bat myths and misconceptions—what should people know?
Bats are not blind; they eat mosquitoes and other insects, and vampire-bat myths are false; rabies risk exists but is low and bats typically die quickly if sick, making handling dangerous but avoidable with proper caution.
Going Batty: Myths, Misconceptions and Maine’s Bats
Q: What can folks do to help out with bats?
Install bat houses, use simple, DIY bat-house designs, and employ humane, gradual relocation strategies that move bats away from homes while keeping them on the property; education and low-cost interventions are valued over expensive fixes.
Going Batty: Myths, Misconceptions and Maine’s Bats
Q: What is your favorite kind of bat?
The little brown bat (Myotis lucifugus) is the speaker's favorite, a species studied during grad school, with a focus on its behavior and roosting in various environments.
