In this episode, Nick interviews with Joe Langan, a PhD candidate and a Population and Ecosystem Dynamics Fellow in the National Marine Fisheries Service-Sea Grant Joint Fellowship at the University of Rhode Island. We chat about a whole bunch projects that Joe has been a part of or is currently working on, including understanding the decline of Winter Flounder, forecasting biomass of New England groundfish, Atlantic Cod: climate deniers?, and spatial sex-segregation in Summer Flounder. Joe is a wealth of information on the fisheries in Narragansett Bay and I hope that you all enjoy this episode as much as I did!
Main Message: Don't just use statistics, learn statistics!

This week Julie talks with Jem Baldisimo, a native of the Philippines, who is studying the change in genetic diversity in species that are collected from Philippine reefs as a part of the aquarium trade. She is comparing contemporary diversity to the diversity observed over 100 years ago when the Smithsonian sent an expedition to study the reefs.
