Across the Cline

What do you think of when you hear the word “conservation?” In this episode, we’re joined by Annika Rose-Person, a PhD candidate in the Department of Evolution, Ecology, and Organismal Biology at UCR and Anisha Gupta, a PhD student in the Department of Art Conservation at the University of Delaware. Together, we’ll explore what conservation means in the worlds of biology and art as well as how society has shaped practices and what’s in store for the future of conservation in these fields.

What do the worlds of bird courtship and Cambodian classical dance have in common? Today, we are joined by Ayala Berger, a PhD candidate in the Department of Evolution, Ecology, and Organismal Biology at UCR who is researching hummingbird courtship, and Ryan Boun, a Cambodian dancer. As we explore this cline, we’ll uncover what beauty and complexity mean to both our guests and chat about how song and dance as means for communication have changed and continue to do so over time. Some examples of Cambodian classical dance suggested by Ryan: Shan-type Peacock Dance Stylized Social Dance A very formalized dance that is sanctioned and has very little personal expression in how the couples move Courtship displays of Costa’s and Anna’s hummingbirds, the species that Ayala studies: Costa’s Hummingbird Anna’s Hummingbird Learn more about the students producing this podcast and their science communication efforts by following us on Twitter and Instagram (@SciCommUCR) and visiting our website Intro and outro music was "Traveling in your mind" by Loyalty Freak Music.
