  • Really good news

    This podcast is so informative about the good things that are happening. With so much emphasis on the hopeless, I feel overwhelmed. So glad to turn attention to really wonderful activities people are doing to mitigate years of neglect and ignorance.

  • Great!

    One of the most informative, educational podcasts I’ve listened to - and kudos to Rolex for recognizing and awarding these vital scientists. (Anyone who says there are too many ads must not listen to other podcasts, which can have 5 minutes of ads at a time. And, it’s a podcast about the environmental work of Rolex.) I’d love for these segments to continue, to put a spotlight on the thousands of scientists doing everyone’s part for a healthy world. Great job.

    Great beginning to a new season!! T... more
