Cnidariology (CORAL) with Shayle Matsuda
b'Will changing your sunscreen save coral reefs? What even IS a coral? Where do they grow and what do they eat and why are they so pretty? Is it reefs or reeves? The wonderful and charming coral biologist and cnidariologist Shayle Matsuda of the Hawaii Institute of Marine Biology/UH M\\u0101noa takes time out of his busy schedule during a coral spawning event to chat about how magical and beautiful coral can be and why reef health is important. Also: whether or not "Finding Nemo" got coral right, making transitions during grad school, and how to pursue your ambitions while being bravely authentic. He\'ll quickly become you favorite cnidariologist.\\n\\nFollow Shayle Matsuda on Twitter @wrong_whale\\n\\nDonations went to paepaeoheeia.org and pointfoundation.org \\n\\nShayle\'s blog post about coral spawning\\n\\nSponsor links: linkedin.com/ologies, kiwi.com/ologies, calm.com/ologies\\n\\nBecome a patron of Ologies for as little as a buck a month:\\xa0www.Patreon.com/ologies\\n\\nOlogiesMerch.com\\xa0has hats, shirts, pins, totes!\\n\\nFollow\\xa0twitter.com/ologies\\xa0or\\xa0instagram.com/ologies\\n\\nFollow\\xa0twitter.com/AlieWard\\xa0or\\xa0instagram.com/AlieWard\\n\\nSound editing by\\xa0Jarrett Sleeper\\xa0of\\xa0MindJam Media\\xa0&\\xa0Steven Ray Morris\\n\\nTheme song by Nick Thorburn\\n\\n\\n\\n\\n\\n\\n\\nSupport the show: http://Patreon.com/ologies'
