  • Allen Hurlbert Wants You To Contribute To Citizen Science

    Allen Hurlbert Wants You To Contribute To Citizen Science
    2024/05/04
    In this episode, I catch up with one of the smartest guys I knew at Amherst College, Professor Allen Hurlbert. Many of Allen's college classmates will remember him for his fondness for birds. While that interest has flowered into a successful and prolific teaching career, birds provide just one input into the focal point of his research today: building an understanding of the processes that shape global patterns of biodiversity and how those patterns are being impacted by global change. For the last several years, he also has spearheaded a citizen science project that invites all of us to track, record, and share information on the insects we find in our own backyards. It works a lot like birdwatching and can be just as fun and important for the advancement of our understanding of biodiversity. In this episode, you'll learn: All about Allen's citizen science project, Caterpillars Count, and just how easy and fun it can be to participate The ways in which climate change may produce winners, losers, and species that are likely to adapt Why overall bird populations have declined over the last several decades What attracted him to the study of biodiversity in the first place The Amherst College classmates he'd like me to interview next To contact Allen, email him at ahhurlbert@gmail.com. You also can learn about Caterpillars Count at https://caterpillarscount.unc.edu/.

  • President Michael Elliott On Coming Back To Amherst And Building A Strong Community

    President Michael Elliott On Coming Back To Amherst And Building A Strong Community
    2024/04/27
    When Michael Elliott attended Amherst College, he never imagined he'd one day become its president. But now that he has the job, he brings a perspective that the office hasn't seen since the last time an Amherst graduate held that office (in 1983). Like animals that can detect light in the infrared spectrum, President Elliott's student and alumni experience enables him to see things others may miss. As Amherst Reunion 2024 approaches, I thought, who better to talk about coming back to campus and how to make the most out of the brief time we'll have? In this interview, which I recorded live with about 25 of my classmates attending virtually, you'll learn: What a day-in-the-life as Amherst College president is like The aspects of Amherst that have changed the most, as well as those that haven't changed much over the last 30 years Amherst's "secret sauce"... ...And how much I miss chicken pucks Why building a strong community at Amherst is one of President Elliott's top priorities - and how alumni can help Recommendations on how to get the most out of coming back to campus, including options for families with children His answers to alumni attendee questions, including how he thinks about attracting and nurturing diverse talent through Amherst and beyond, and how campus life amid the war in Gaza fares in comparison to colleges and universities that have made headlines If you'd like to learn more about President Elliott or get in touch, email him at president@amherst.edu, follow him on Instagram (@amherst_president), or watch his interview series, Between 2 Mammoths (https://www.amherst.edu/about/president-college-leadership/president/between2mammoths).

  • Neda Sharghi’s Brother Was Taken By Iran. Here’s How She Fought Successfully To Bring Him Home.

    Neda Sharghi’s Brother Was Taken By Iran. Here’s How She Fought Successfully To Bring Him Home.
    2024/03/17
    In 2018, Emad Sharghi, an American citizen, was wrongfully detained and given a 10 year prison term by Iran while he was visiting family. His crime? Simply being American. It took more than five hard years to win his release. Neda Sharghi, Emad's sister and my Amherst College classmate, has advocated tirelessly for Emad and all Americans wrongfully held abroad through high profile media appearances and meetings with US government officials, urging them to have the political courage they need to bring American detainees home alive. In this episode, she details: How Emad is doing today The terrifying moment she learned of his having been taken captive The stages that families of the wrongfully detained often go through as they come to grips with the unimaginable The playbook she recommends to help win their release, including governmental and private resources that aid these efforts (see links below) The Amherst College friends who supported her through this ordeal How the US government's policy and resourcing toward hostage negotiation has evolved following the execution of American journalist James Foley by ISIS in 2014 How others can support families trying to win the release of Americans wrongfully held abroad by hostile governments or terrorist organizations The conversation covers lighter topics, as well, including Neda's fond memories of Amherst College, her decision to pause her career to be a full-time mom, and the Amherst classmates she'd like me to interview next. If you, your family, or friends have a loved one who is being wrongfully detained, here are the resources Neda recommends: The Office of the Special Presidential Envoy for Hostage Affairs (https://www.state.gov/bureaus-offices/secretary-of-state/special-presidential-envoy-for-hostage-affairs/) Bring Our Families Home (https://www.bringourfamilieshome.org/) The James W. Foley Legacy Foundation (https://jamesfoleyfoundation.org/) Post-Isolation Support Activities (operated by the Department of Defense, as described here: https://www.c6f.navy.mil/Press-Room/News/Article/1845496/post-isolation-support-activities/) The official Hostages and Wrongful Detainees Flag for use in your social media (Hostages and Wrongful Detainees Flag.jpeg)
