    S2S5: Glondo and Agaves - Bryan MacNeill

    Bryan MacNeill didn't used to be a plant guy. "They don't move," he said. "How dumb are they?" he asked. But after a field botany course, he learned to love our little green friends. In this episode, Louis and Meghan talk about that journey as well as Bryan's experience as a extra in Dolphin Tale 2, his unfortunate pocket dial to his university's IT department, and his stories about Glondo the gnome lawyer.

    S2E4: Antarctica and Overwatch - Nick Roberts

    Nick Roberts has been all over the globe, from the San Juan Islands in the Pacific Northwest to the Azores in the Atlantic. They just returned from a research expedition to the bottom of the world and they're excited to tell us all about it. Nothing comes close to the Antarctic experience--except possibly Taco Bell Crunch Wraps and/or throwing a scholarship game in a college-level gaming tournament.

    S2E1: Geology and Gambits - Andrew Osborne

    We are back for season two! We're kicking it off with Andrew Osborne, a hydrogeology student at the University of South Carolina. He's a man of many hobbies and interests such as swimming, chess, and eating chocolate chip cookies--all of which have taught him valuable lessons. He's also Louis's childhood best friend, so we might be a bit biased when we say we're excited to have him for our season two opener.

    S1E13: Aliens and Grasslands - Tom Franzem

    On this episode of Yakademia, we are excited to talk to Tom Franzem, a PhD student at the University of Alabama. In his undergraduate degree, Tom spent a summer catching insects because it was a way to pass the time, but quickly fell in love and now works with insects in grasslands full-time. On the side, he loves reading about alien and UFO conspiracy theories from the 60s and 70s and we even take a crack at creating our own conspiracy theory about wind, only for a tornado to touch down near Louis only minutes later...

    S1E12: Fermenting and Flukes - Charlayna Cammarata

    This week we talk to Charlayna Cammarata, a PhD student at Texas A&M University. From her upbringing in rural Missouri, she has hunted, fished, and foraged for food her whole life. We get down into the details about fermentation, food preservation, how cooking can bring people together, and why local culture is an important thing to factor in when deciding on a job. After all of that, we discuss the dark side of food: parasites! Watch out turtles of Texas, you have something lurking in your bloodstreams.
