10. Getting sassy on social media with the Washington State DNR, w/ Rachel Terlep Pod of Orcas

This episode is about social media at the intersection of science, nature, conservation, and nonprofit work. More specifically it’s about Twitter, Instagram and Facebook, and a state agency that has leveraged social media beautifully as a way to get their word out. Our guest is Rachel Terlep, Social Media Manager for the Washington State Department of Natural Resources (Twitter / Instagram / Facebook). Note: We had this conversation about four hours before Twitter entered a state of crazy flux on November 17, 2022. Here are some DNR hits: 


“Live, laugh, lay eggs and die.” (on salmon spawning) 
“Every time you leave dog poop on the trail you’re denying trash cans essential nutrients to fatten up for winter. Heartbreaking.”
“Resect our lands or catch these hands.”
Here's the Snicker's bar post I reference in the episode.
