The OurBio podcast:

  • Each episode is a conversation with someone in our community whose professional work in some aspect of science, agriculture, medicine or anthropology can deepen our understanding about how our natural heritage has shaped our regional culture.

Other OurBio projects:

  • Visit here to learn about the documentary film in development about DeafBlind Cajuns.

  • Visit here to learn about the ongoing Bird Mortality Study conducted since Spring 2017 by volunteers in BIOL 111 lecture for science majors. Here is a link to the longitudinal database that students produced and maintain.
  • Visit here to visit the longitudinal Campus Habitats database that BIOL113 lab students began contributing data to in Spring 2018. They query these data to address research questions about ecology right here on the UL Lafayette campus. Visit Billeaud Hall outside Room 113 to see their team research posters.

And sometimes, we just get lucky videos
