And if you’ve never checked out Ali Ward’s ‘Ologies’ podcast, have a listen. Great show.

I tried it, but I’m not a fan of her interview style. Still, it’s great for entomologists to get good press.

Neat story!

I haven’t met Ali, but I did meet Lila a few years ago, she sat down for an interview and also helped set up interviews with other members of the Community Science dept at NHMLA. She and the rest of the dept are really cool. Lila’s also one of the founders and leaders of the City Nature Challenge.

Perhaps people who have an eye for the small, hidden things in the natural world, like insects, have a similar attentiveness for that same spark in other people, even if they are depressed and weighing on ‘bigger’ issues.
