CONSERVATION CAST E.29 with Dr. Sebastian Alejandro Echeverri for Xerces Society for Invertebrates
During this episode of the Conservation Cast, Maya spoke with Dr. Sebastian Alejandro Echeverri, a science communicator with a Ph.D. in visual ecology who studies spiders and other arachnids. The two discussed Sebastian’s journey as a grad student and how he fell in love with spiders. Sebastian discussed commonly held myths about spiders, arachnophobia, and his research about the complex relationship between spiders’ eyes and how they use color, shape, and movement to communicate. The donations from the podcast were directed at Xerces Society for Invertebrate Conservation, an international nonprofit that protects the natural world through the conservation of invertebrates and their habitats.
