In Episode 12, Bug, Crystal, Morgan, Tom and I talk about why the Strepsiptera are rubbish, censorship!, the public conversation about science and whether we can blog our science as it happens, and academic ... CV ... size.  Not only was this Crystal's first live podcast, but Tom was kind of drunk.  Audio is definitely NSFW.  

In this episode I'm joined by Lauren, Tom, Morgan, Michael and Bug Girl as we talk with Professor Mike Siva-Jothy of the University of Sheffeild.  We cover traumatic insemination in bedbugs, tiny glass-blown genitalia, and the triumphant return of pubic lice! 

In this series of clips shot at the Entomological Society of America 2012 conference, Morgan and Crystal interview a series of special guests (including a quick cameo from friends of the show @TheBugChicks!).

In episode 9 we're joined by the Bug Chicks (thebugchicks.com).  Tom, Rafael, and I chat with Jessica and Kristie about everything from teaching about bugs to driving in East Africa with no brakes.  

I'm joined by Lauren, Morgan, Rafael, and guest Sam Evans to chat about science goblins, anti-intellectualism, Master's degrees, the things we write on grants and the joys of working in a call centre.

Professor Rob Brooks (@Brooks_Rob), a behavioural ecologist studying sexual reproduction at the University of New South Wales, joins Rafael, Morgan, Tom, Michael, Lauren, and I for an interview about his book (Sex, Genes, and Rock'n'Roll), and evolution in general.  In a departure from our usual format, there was a minimum of chaos.  Also, our new cohost Lauren (@PygmyLoris) joins us for the first time!  Due to mic issues we don't hear much from her, but look for her to be a big part of things in episodes to come.

Rafael, Morgan, Michael, and Bug join me to talk about the international differences in graduate programs, unsafe drinking practices, feathered dinosaurs, and questionable deliveries through the mail.  Note:  *definitely* NSFW.

Morgan, Rafael, and I discuss the Evolutionary Biology Journal Club, the ISBE (International Society for Behavioral Ecology) conference this summer in Sweden, and creationism in a science outreach event.

Tom and Rafael return with a report of the happenings at the Evolution 2012 conference, and we welcome our cohost Bug Girl for the first time!  (Plus, a shocking on-air proposal!)

I discuss tiny flies and the ins-and-outs of insect systematics with co-host Morgan Jackson while half our our team is at Evolution 2012.  

Your hosts Rafael Maia, Morgan Jackson, and Steven Hamblin discuss poor George the tortoise, sperm competition, and the horror of mathematics in biology papers.

On the first episode of Breaking Bio your hosts Tom Houslay, Rafael Maia, and Steven Hamblin discuss grad school, insect sex, and communicating your science.
