Science In Progress

In today’s episode I chat with Manuel Lequerica, a PhD candidate at the University of Sydney.  We talk about the fascinating aspects of urban ecology including light pollution, human connection with nature and plant/insect interactions.  We also have fun discussions about what it’s like to follow different passions for research and why it’s OK to be fascinated by lots of different things.  Thanks to Manuel for this episode!! Also, thank you Alejandra Echeverri for introducing us.  If you haven’t listened to the episode I recorded with Ale, you should! (It’s episode number 13).   This is our lab website but it is terribly out of date (sorry!). I am also part of this research group, which focuses more on insect behaviour. You can find us on facebook as The Hochuli Lab and Invertebrate Behaviour and Ecology Lab, respectively.    My two papers about urban ecology are under review, so I can’t really share them. Anyhow, I do have a blog (which covers a lot of ground, but is also a bit out of date). My Twitter
