Episode 19: Queer Fungi

We at Across the Cline and SciComm@UCR, would like to respectfully acknowledge and recognize our responsibility to the original and current caretakers of the land, water, and air on which we record this podcast: the Cahuilla, Tongva, Luiseño, and Serrano peoples and all of their ancestors and descendants, past, present, and future. This place is home to many Indigenous peoples from all over the world, including our colleagues, guests, and community, and we are grateful to have the opportunity to live and work on these homelands.


Fungi are queer guys! This month, we are joined by Frances Cannon, an interdisciplinary writer, artist, educator and Mellon Science and Nature Writing Fellow at Kenyon College, and Patty Kaishian, the curator of mycology at the New York State Museum, to talk about what it means to be queer and how does it show up in science. When do the boxes or categories break down? How do we queer research?
