    As a chemist and a hobby potter, I was so excited to hear Maya say the word "vitrification." I explain what it means to people that are buying my pottery but this was the first time I've heard someone else use it in any other context.

    Hold on. Whats the source on the 20 minutes to die when naked at 32 degrees? I tried to google this and did not see anything to support this idea. In fact there have been studies that you will die in 15 to 45 minutes of exposure to 32.5 degree water. Maybe that is what you meant but that makes a huge huge difference.

    Episode idea! Worlds highest,

    Or you could just do bird that flys the highest or animals that live in the tallest trees. But I think the drugs one is more fun.

    Tardigrade under a microscope are SOOO CUTTEEE!!! I did something very similar to what Connor described in one of my class, I highly suggest anyone to try! Just make sure you put your sample back where you found it! I makes me want to do it again with my own microscope! AND thank you for the wood frog!!! Love herps!! you explained it so well. I never understood why a frozen frog was so special, but now I understand! As a diabetic, I love these frog so much more now!!! A leaderboard would be a good idea!

    Bro I’m floridian so I’m always fascinated by cold tolerant things because I wore my aunts old Alaskan parkas anytime it ran below 90 F (around 32 c) my husband called me an Argonian or lizard 🦎 before we started dating because cold intolerance. My aunt working as an entomologist in Alaska I was constantly fascinated by the various insects that functioned in the article circle. Her roommate was an indigenous and studied livestock and local wildlife so she work with a lot of native species and my aunts boyfriend at the time was an Ichthyologist and the roommates girlfriend was a botanist. It kind of wasn’t really that surprising to me that I grew up idolizing stem program students 😅 they lived very interesting lives to me but also to grow up only seeing snow once it was so bizarre to me that their warm summer temperatures when things reproduce and flourish would be our cool fall to winter temperatures at times when things are dying and resting. It was a strange concept as someone who spent so much time outside and I guess the ebb and flow the idea it being so drastically different would be crazy. Her stories of it being so cold they can’t use plumbing and have to use outhouses and have to conserve their water🪠 while I’m literally wading water to get to school and just understand that some of my neighbors will have to sleep at my house because their home will flood the rainy season is bizarre.
    It’s just neat I guess how diverse the planet is!

    Fun fact (as a lifelong Alaskan): some of the lower 48 states get colder than the lower half of Alaska during the winter and summers regularly get up to 75 F during the summer. Maybe I'm just used to it, but I don't think it's that bad :)

    SOOO… I know that this (wonderful) podcast is still relatively new BUT I was wondering if, provided that they’re all comfortable with it of course, we could _possibly_ look forward to a couple future guest episodes that each feature one of other ladies of Alveus discussing their favorite animals and/or species that they’re best versed in/most knowledgeable of?!
    So, I’m thinking: Kayla - birds/hawks, Lindsay - marine life/sharks, Sruti - canines/wolves/dogs, & Ella - different terrains and/or bugs/animals that are *extremely* closely related to rocks/grass/trees/etc. Now, my suggestions are _solely_ based on information that I’ve picked up on here and there via livestreams and VODS, but obviously we would LOVE to hear the girls talk in-depth about whatever animals they want to!
    I do realize that this happening is quite the long shot, so I def won’t be holding my breath!! LOL. But I’m pretty sure that I can speak for the vast majority of Alveus fans and supporters by saying that these episodes would be HELLA enjoyable!! 🥰
    Also, whether we ever get episodes like these are not, thank you guys sooo much for the dope as hell podcast that you already provide us with!! You guys are the bestest!! 😍
