Episode Description

The state of Louisiana hosts one of the world's largest repositories of ornithological knowledge, the Louisiana State University Museum of Natural History. With nearly 200,000 bird specimens, including important collections from the tropical Americas, this institution informs a lot of what we know about bird taxonomy in this hemisphere. Dr Nick Mason is the curator of that collection, and he joins us to talk about the fascinating work done at this place and what museums are doing to make sure bird science stays on a sound footing into the future.

Also, the ABA's live What's This Bird program is breaking ground in online phenology... sort of.

Reparadigmed Podcast Nick Paine, Matt Westlake We think Jesus of Nazareth is the king of the land and of humanity. We also think the Bible is a gift from God that gives us wisdom for being human. We aim to “reparadigm” our modern theological and ethical systems to conform to originalist readings of the Bible that honor its ancient Jewish context. Because the Bible is patently NOT a rulebook of universal moral principles but is rather an anthology recounting the grand narrative of human restoration, we think that its wisdom, though antiquated, has binding significance for our present contexts. American Evangelical theology often finds itself adrift from the Bible's ancient contextual moorings, and the bad fruit of modern, western readings continues to become evident in the church and in culture. Evidence of this bad fruit includes all forms of nationalism, exploitative economic and social systems, and consumeristic disregard for God's good creation. This sad commentary has led, not surprisingly, to a widespread rethinking of Christi How to Win at Duplicate Bridge Inception Point Ai Episode 1: Introduction to Duplicate Bridge Introduction Quick intro to the podcast.
