Oh, hey, it's your internet dad who just learned how to mute her mic on Zoom,

alleyboard.

Oh, get ready for penguins.

Oh, I loved this one.

The full version is linked in the show notes in case you have more time and you're in an

environment where you can listen to swear words but this is smologies and

smallgies are shorter episodes and they're also edited to be safe for all

ages so enjoy this gee-rated version of a classic episode.

Let's get to some penguins. Let's get them in your ears, in your brains, in your hearts,

penguinology, it's a real thing, and this ologist identified on the BBC as a penguinologist.

Ugh! And who better to call it that than one of the world's foremost penguin experts.

He's legit.

Penguinology is thus legit.

So he is a research fellow at Oxford University's

Zoological Department.

He spent well over a decade working and studying and very gently spying on

penguins and heads up Penguinwatch.org where you yourself can go and see wonderful

penguins in remote regions on planet Earth.

You can join 11,000 volunteers who help scientists including him count penguins just

by looking at pictures of penguins and just putting a dot on the penguins.

It's so good. And quick audio note, if you hear any click-it-clacking, that is just the keyboard in my shared home office with Jarrett, so just consider it like an ASMR treat.

Okay, great. Okay, so we talked about what it's like working on the ends of the earth and how cold it is, and what exactly is a penguin and how do they stay warm
