Episode notes

The hardest thing about what I was doing was working in an environment where I really regularly had to deal with people. It'd be like people constantly coming up to you in whatever job you're doing being like, hey, what are you doing? Can you explain to me? And then the best was when I'd be like, oh, I'm doing this field study on crows, but you know what, my birds, they're here, I gotta take data. You can sort of exceed the carrying capacity of your neighborhood and it can be consequential.

Crows have funerals? CROWS HAVE FUNERALS. The inky black bird with the big brain warns and maybe mourns around their fallen friends and Dr. Kaeli Swift is here to tell us all about it. As an avid wildlife researcher and corvid specialist, she's observed death behaviors that will shock you to your bones and ruffle your hackles -- while somehow also making you cry about peanuts. Also: so much inspiration to keep being yourself and to work hard toward what you love. She is a hero.
