SciCafe: The Future of Our Oceans with Jeremy Jackson

The worlds’ oceans have changed dramatically in the 50+ years that marine ecologist Jeremy Jackson has been studying them. Overfishing, pollution, and climate change have converted once-thriving ecosystems like coral reefs and mangrove forests into slime-covered wastelands. But Dr. Jackson has shed his former nickname of ”Dr. Doom” and now focuses on the remarkable resilience of the oceans–if only humans can give them time and space to recover. This SciCafe took place at the Museum on June 5, 2019.

SciCafe: Why Dinosaurs Matter with Diego Pol

The Titanosaur, Patagotitan mayorum, is the largest-known dinosaur to ever walk the Earth—weighing more than 10 African elephants. How did it get so big? How did it dominate the prehistoric landscape for millions of years? And what can this extinct animal teach us about our own future on this planet? Join paleontologist Diego Pol as he explores these questions and recounts his journey leading the team that discovered the Museum’s Titanosaur. This SciCafe took place at the Museum on May 1, 2019.

I believe this podcast has way too many episodes on theoretical, abstract topics in space or other worlds and not enough on the most important aspects of science in the here and now: Earth and its biome. We need to understand our precious home and how to keep it for as long as possible before imagining other “frontiers.”
