Oh, hi! It's that French fry that fell under the driver's side seat three days ago and you can't

decide if you want to eat it or not. Maybe? I don't know. Alliword, back with another episode of

Smologies or Small Alligies. Get it? Small Alligies. So this is our six small alligies episode. And if

you're looking for any of the previous small alligies, you'll find them in this feed or at alliword.com

slash small alligies. But what is a small alligie? This is a great question. So, small alligies are

quicker, kid and work and in-law and classroom friendly edits of our full alligies episodes and they

clock in around 20 minutes. So all the good stuff but with less of a commitment, it's perfect for

those of you that are returning to the office and have a short commute. Maybe you're on a holiday

and a cake decorated like a full moon. So in 2019, I had a Wolfenut party and I had gift wrap socks

around the house. It was lit. It was the best 10 out of 10. Okay. So today's episode is on loop

analogy or the study of wolves and the word comes from the Latin loopus meaning wolf. But if you

ask loop analogous what their job title is, they will probably refer to themselves as a wolf biologist.

But let's be honest, loop analogous, the sounds way way cooler, much more regal. So today's loop

analogous is an associate professor of evolutionary genomics and epigenetics at Princeton University

where she runs the Von Holt lab of ecology and evolutionary biology. She got her bachelor's degree

in psychology from Eckerd University, her masters from NYU in biology and got her PhD
