Winging It! From Curiosity to a Scientific Fact

  • Résumé

  • We’re going to be a different kind of science podcast. Most science podcasts are about finished science—refined, cleaned up, and previously published in peer-reviewed literature. In this one, we will start with curiosity and work towards scientific discovery and publication at the end. Darwin began his discoveries with a voyage around the world on the HMS Beagle. He observed. He reported his observations. And born out of his unrelenting curiosity made THE most important discovery in the last two centuries—Evolution through natural selection (move over Einstein, you were bested).

    This is also about birds. About listening to birds. About finding how birds live. So join us. Let’s get curious, and then let’s get full-on sciency. We are going to have fun.

    Chasing the Dawn Chorus
    Apr 13 2025

    In this episode my four students Abby, Danny, Kaleb, and Pieter talk about their recordings of the Dawn Chorus, and what we dug up from the scientific primary literature. The bottom line is very little is understood about why birds around the world sing together at dawn. We explore several hypotheses, and explore why science matters.

    We also have Danny on site at Lytle Nature Preserve studying birds. A report from the field is always fun.
