Welcome to Season 2, which we are calling Sharing Science! In this episode we meet with Ashley Moseley, who is not only a member of our IE team, but the author of a new children's book on jaguars! Inspired by her work with jaguar education and conservation projects between IE and the Belize Zoo, Ashley set out to build a children's book to bring the science of jaguars to kids! The result is Nacho House Cat, and in this episode Ashley explains her inspiration and hopes for this fun-filled science-based book about why Jaguars belong in the jungle, not your home!

This past spring we took five McNair scholars from Talladega College to Belize to complete their senior research projects in terrestrial turtle monitoring, analyzing the biodiversity of the the rainforest using camera traps, and freshwater macroinvertebrates.

For this episode, we reinvited Dr. Andy Coleman, Chair of the Biology Department at Talladega, to talk about these students, what they learned from their experiences in Belize, and his ideas for the 2025 McNair trip.

Have you ever wondered what happens when the territories of humans and jaguars collide? As you will see, it usually doesn't turn out well for the jaguar.
So in this episode, we are meeting with Jamal Andrewin-Bohn, Conservation Director at the Belize Zoo and Tropical Education Center, and zookeeper Jose Valdez to talk about the details of the Human Jaguar Conflict Program at the Zoo, a project that has given over 25 animals a second chance at survival over the years.

We will also be talking about a joint campaign between the Zoo and IE, called #Habitats4Jags that is working to establish a new facility at the Zoo to assist these zookeepers in the care of these amazing animals.

In our second episode of what we are calling our Partner Season, we are featuring Dr. Andy Coleman, Chair of the Biology Department at Talladega College in Alabama, and more importantly, an individual who shares our passion for making educational experiences available to everyone. Last year, Andy partnered with IE to bring two McNair Scholar students from Talladega to Belize for the opportunity to work on the capstone research projects needed to complete their degrees. The experience was phenomenal, for both the students and us here at IE!

In this episode we hear from Andy, and the students, as to why programs like this are important, and why this year he is returning with an additional five scholars.

Each founder has a unique story, but here you will witness the common threads of inspiration and a love of nature.
