Dr. Jodi Rowley is a biologist with a focus on amphibian diversity, ecology and conservation.
Jodi and her team have discovered a multitude of amphibian species never before known to science and have gone to the most extreme lengths to find them.
I found this conversation to be absolutely fascinating. We talk about:
- trekking into remote Cambodian rainforests during monsoon season
- getting attacked by leeches in the jungle
- benefits amphibians bring to humans and ecosystems
- why they are being lost at an unprecedented rate
- and how we may be able to help
Please check out and support Jodi’s work:

Cardiac Cowboys
The heart was always off-limits to surgeons. Cutting into it spelled instant death for the patient. That is, until a ragtag group of doctors scattered across the Midwest and Texas decided to throw out the rule book. Working in makeshift laboratories and home garages, using medical devices made from scavenged machine parts and beer tubes, these men and women invented the field of open heart surgery. Odds are, someone you know is alive because of them. So why has history left them behind? Presented by Chris Pine, CARDIAC COWBOYS tells the gripping true story behind the birth of heart surgery, and the young, Greatest Generation doctors who made it happen. For years, they competed and feuded, racing to be the first, the best, and the most prolific. Some appeared on the cover of Time Magazine, operated on kings and advised presidents. Others ended up disgraced, penniless, and convicted of felonies. Together, they ignited a revolution in medicine, and changed the world.
