Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Mic Droplet: Invasion Of The Joro Spiders!
Q: What is the risk to native ecosystems of the Joro spider spreading?
As generalist predators, Joro spiders may compete with native predators, especially other spiders, for food and places to build webs or hunt. They also prey on brown marmorated stink bugs, an invasive species.
Mic Droplet: Invasion Of The Joro Spiders!
Q: So why are they so prolific?
They are large, conspicuous spiders that are easy to encounter, are spreading, and disperse when young by ballooning on silk. Shipping containers may also help them travel.
A First-class Freshwater Filmmaker (feat. Jeremy Monroe)
Q: What technological advances have changed FI's filmmaking since 2003?
Key advances include the move from heavy underwater video cameras to compact mirrorless cameras, the rise of drones for landscape context, and accessible editing tools. These technologies have broadened both the quality and scope of FI's storytelling while making filmmaking more feasible and collaborative.
A First-class Freshwater Filmmaker (feat. Jeremy Monroe)
Q: How did Jeremy get into filmmaking and how did it intersect with his science interests?
Jeremy describes growing up fishing near Denver, studying fishery biology in college, and then discovering underwater photography and storytelling. He leveraged this shift toward visual storytelling to pursue FI's mission, combining his aquatic ecology background with documentary filmmaking to illuminate freshwater ecosystems.
An Alliance Worth Shell-ebrating
Q: Why are turtles globally in trouble and what can we do about it?
Humans are the primary threat—direct harvesting, illegal trade, habitat loss, and disease—so conservation actions must be multifaceted, including surveys, protection of habitats, anti-poaching efforts, and connecting people to the science and importance of turtles.
