Meet the Experts - Lara Souza, plant ecologist
Priscilla Crawford, conservation biologist with the Oklahoma Biological Survey, and Angelina Stancampiano, Oklahoma State Park Senior Naturalist, co-host this podcast, an extension of our BioBlitz! Oklahoma events.  Now we can celebrate Oklahoma's biodiversity with you all year round!  In this "Meet the Expert" Episode, Priscilla chats with Dr. Lara Souza, her colleague and the director of the Oklahoma Biological Survey.  As a plant ecologist she works on global change research at the University of Oklahoma.  Join us as we talk about what she loves about being a researcher and professor at OU and leader of the biological survey.   We recorded our conversation at the end of the fall semester of 2020, so some of our references are slightly dated. We are working on new episodes of "Meet the Experts," "Ask the Experts," and "Join the Experts."  We are also going to start highlighting Oklahoma State Parks to inspire you to visit and explore these amazing natural areas.    You can stay up to date on our Facebook page – BioBlitz!

Meet the Experts - Zach DuFran, moth expert
In this "Meet the Expert" Episode, BioBlitz! OK co-coordinator, Priscilla Crawford, chats with Zach DuFran who has been our moth expert for the past couple years at BioBlitz! OK.  Zach is our first podcast guest that is one of our amateur experts – meaning his day job is something totally different from biology!  The term amateur in no way negatively reflects his expertise.  In fact, he has become one of the most knowledgeable moth biologists in the state.  Join us as we talk about his self-taught journey to learning all about moths and seeing nearly 1000 moth species in Oklahoma.  You can follow Zach @zdufran on Instagram, iNaturalist, or Flickr.  We highly encourage you to attend one of his public moth nights when it warms up again! You can stay up to date on BioBlitz!
