The Maurer Power Hour

In this second part of my time spent with Conrad, we discuss some fun conversation starters we love to use, the Olympics, and my chronic dehydration.

In this episode, I am joined by long-time friend Conrad Li. We talk about the pursuits of high paying jobs and how the Disney movie WALL-E may be a very real future. 

Dr. Herrick studies behavioral ecology and herpetology, and is particularly interested in social behavior and interspecific interactions; spatial and acoustic interactions between breeding ranid frogs. In this episode, we talk about some of the research she has done concerning bullfrogs and green frogs as well as some basics of biology.  

This episode with Mac was so fun to do. We talked about his journey from being an avid Star Trek fan and how that experience lead him into the amazing world of Shakespeare. Mac talks about his experiences of reading Shakespeare, watching Shakespeare, and even acting out Shakesperian plays. He decided to start his own Shakespearian company which is called "Elsewhere Shakespeare" and is based out of Richmond, Virginia. Mac's story is super cool and I encourage you to hear it from the man himself.

Frank is pursuing his Ph.D. at the University of Connecticut. He is passionate about the functional morphology of birds and mammals. Frank is a super cool guy with an awesome story. In this episode, we talk about how Frank got interested in birds, his work experiences, and his road to UConn.
