The Ecology and Evolution of Pokémon

Blair is "the Zoologist" and sitting animal expert who co-hosts the weekly science news podcast, This Week in Science. Her husband Brian is a nursing student and avid gamer of all types (video, board, card, role-playing, etc), and their friend Jesse is a podcast host, writer, and "your teacher's favorite teacher" who is also a games enthusiast. Together, we will explore the worlds of Pokemon, Zelda, Horizon, Dune, Lord of the Rings, Dungeons and Dragons, and whatever else we fancy to discuss the real world inspiration for the fantastical creatures you can find in your favorite fiction. 

Find Blair Bazdarich talking animal news at www.twis.org, Jesse McGrath discussing what makes life "very quite lit" on Jesse and Wilder's Guide to Life wherever you find your podcasts or on X, and Brian Pagano if you wake up in a Bay Area Emergency Room - he will be pleased as punch to help get you back on your feet.
