D&I Podcast Ep. 14 - Inclusion can happen now and here‘s how

Aaron Bunch (co-host) emphasizes that inclusion can happen now—in an instant—with genuine positive communication directed at someone who has a different identity than you. A person feeling included really comes down to an individual having a sense of belonging and value within a group of people. Over the past year as hosts of the Fisheries Diversity and Inclusion Podcast have interviewed guests, significant themes have emerged in context to “inclusion.”
We challenge you to use inclusion principles into your daily routine and set the following goals with people who are not like you: (1) find commonality through daily chats and do more listening than talking, (2) become a mentor, whether its formal or informal, (3) build meaningful relationships, and (4) be willing to be inclusive out loud as an ally.

149 – The Role of Habitat: ‘Why Do Communities Differ between Seagrass and Macroalgae Habitats?‘ with Adam Searles

This week Hannah catches up with fellow University of Florida Ph.D. student, Adam Searles. A fourth generation Floridian from Brevard County, he decided to study marine ecology to solve the environmental issues plaguing the Indian River Lagoon system. Adam shares his dissertation research identifying the mechanisms driving community-level differences between seagrass and macroalgae-dominated habitats with major implications for fisheries ecology. So far, his work includes studies on competition between native sheepshead populations and a poleward expanding competitor and seagrass and macroalgae fish and invertebrate monitoring. 
Main Point: Be kind and remember that nothing does just one thing.
