Summary
Today I'm at The University of Tennessee, Knoxville speaking with Kimberly Sheldon all about dung beetles!
Kim studies the patterns and processes that determine the distribution of species and use this information to predict impacts of anthropogenic change on species and ecological communities.

| 0:00.0 | Hello, everybody. Welcome to the show. We're talking about Dung Beedles today. It's a real fun one |
| 0:06.1 | I am in my car recording a little intro. I'm on a nine hour drive from Huntsville, Alabama to |
| 0:15.8 | Bentonville, Arkansas before heading to |
| 0:20.7 | Tulsa, then Wichita, then Santa Fe, and |
| 0:24.6 | and adding some dates. It looks like an L.A. I'll have my first |
| 0:31.5 | trial run of adding visuals to my show for my warm-up |
| 0:37.3 | show at Area 15 in Vegas, the residency. You can find out more at area15.com. If you want to keep |
| 0:47.7 | up to date with all of the new warm-up shows I'm announcing, which is going to be mostly around |
| 0:54.0 | the New England area, go to ShaneMoss.com, join my email list, and we've been |
| 1:00.3 | blessed and out some updates as new cities come in. So check that out, and yeah, this is a fun |
| 1:08.9 | episode. This is with the University of Tennessee Knoxville Nimbios program. This is |
| 1:21.7 | so Nimbios is the National Institute of Mathematical and Biological |
| 1:28.4 | Science, and I've been really fortunate to be working with them and the One Health Initiative |
| 1:37.7 | there as well because it's a cool way that we're able to see all of the interdisciplinary |
| 1:44.0 | approach that is happening just in one university. We had just people that are |
| 1:54.7 | right next to each other, right across the hall or whatever their offices are. |
| 2:04.4 | All in one department there's topics like mass extinction and dung beetles and |
| 2:12.0 | using mathematics to understand pandemics and things like that. So it's a really cool way to see |
| 2:21.8 | the how all of these topics fit together and seemingly unrelated things all mesh together |
| 2:32.0 | and this crazy existence. So I think you're really going to enjoy this episode. |
| 2:42.6 | Super fun. Quick note, we had a little audio issue right at the end. Just the last minute or two |
| 2:49.8 | our mics went out and so there's captured off the camera instead. I am hoping to do a lot more |
