Iowa City’s annual Darwin Day is an opportunity for scientists to share their knowledge and research with each other and the public. This year it comes at a moment when funding for a lot of scientific research is at risk. Host Charity Nebbe speaks with evolutionary biologists about how they’re standing up for science and moving forward in the face of uncertainty – and what we can all learn from frogs.
Then Nebbe talks with one of only two college-employed scientific glassblowers in the state, Benjamin Revis of the University of Iowa.
The conversation with Revis was originally produced in August 2023.
Guests:
- Tyrone Hayes, Judy Chandler Webb Distinguished Chair for Innovative Teaching and Research, professor, Department of Integrative Biology, University of California, Berkely
- Maurine Neiman, biology professor, University of Iowa
- Benjamin Revis, scientific glassblower, UI Department of Chemistry
