In Part 2, Sondra Eger reaches out to the Apoqnmatulti’k Project to learn how their collaborative research project embodies Etuaptmumk, also referred to as Two Eyed Seeing. She hears stories and lessons from project partners Darren Porter, Alanna Syliboy, Dr. Shelley Denny and Skyler Jeddore who are all working to gather data and information that can contribute towards informing protection measures for culturally significant species. The episode reflects on Phase 1 of the project in the Bay of Fundy and the Bras d’Or Lake and concludes with the news that the project was recently awarded with funding to continue to expand and include new study species.

With permission for Ocean Tracking Network and Apoqnmatulti’k project team, this episode is based on pre-recorded material from a previous webinar as well as interviews and subsequent commentary. The original webinar can be viewed here: https://youtu.be/OctP9jXixTs?si=ajA2EpXUQ3TnrPhW

Part 1 follows Sondra Eger as she learns about Etuaptmumk, also referred to as Two-Eyed Seeing, from different perspectives. This episode features Brady Reid and Ivan White who share stories and personal experiences surrounding Etuaptmumk. All of the participants in this episode have connections with academia and therefore anecdotes and examples are heavily biased towards this context.

This episode inspires one to self-reflect on how we build relationships and how we each have our own unique positionalities that influence our lives and work. We encourage you to explore the resources below.

Welcome to Pubcasts. This episode is called: PubCasts - putting voice in scholarly work and science communication.

This latest entry in our series of Pubcasts, audio-book style recordings of peer reviewed scientific research, is an article about PubCasts! We talk about why they are a valuable format for scholars interested in science communication and knowledge mobilization, our own experiences in creating and making PubCasts, and some basic information for scholars who want to try out PubCasting for their own work.

Pubcasts are hosted by the Conservation of Change Lab (www.conservationofchange.org) as a part of Coastal Routes Radio, and are an ongoing project to experiment with science communication and making research more accessible and digestible to both scientific and general audiences. We were inspired to start Pubcasts via our own love of podcasts, demystifying science and the role of researchers in science, and the power of the human voice.

We hope you enjoy. You can find more Pubcasts from the Coastal Routes project at www.coastalroutes.org/pubcasts.

The best way to protect whales is to keep ships and other human activities away from them, but we have to know where they are in order to avoid them. Traditionally this has meant watching for whales from the surface, which is time consuming and ineffective especially for deep diving species of whales. The solution may be to use another sense: sound rather than sight. The same acoustic detection techniques developed to detect the submarines are now being used to listen underwater for unique whale calls. Scientists and researchers with the Department of National Defence’s science and technology organization, Defence Research and Development Canada, are working with Fisheries and Oceans Canada, Transport Canada, Dalhousie University and industry partners in this collaborative effort to protect whales. The goal is to use the underwater sound data in an app with a simple interface that will alert red or green on areas to avoid on a map in order to protect whales.

This project has received permitting from DFO and Government of Nunavut along with obtaining animal ethics approval from Dalhousie.

Welcome to Pubcasts. This episode is called: How academic podcasting can change academia and its relationship with society: A conversation and guide.

This latest entry in our series of Pubcasts, audio-book style recordings of peer reviewed scientific research, is an article about podcasting in academia and the ways in which the author's (all podcast makers themselves) have found value in integrating podcasting into their own scholarly work.

Pubcasts are hosted by the Conservation of Change Lab (www.conservationofchange.org) as a part of Coastal Routes Radio, and are an ongoing project to experiment with science communication and making research more accessible and digestible to both scientific and general audiences.
