Ajay and Tarka are research associates at the Center for Molecular Dynamics Nepal. We hosted them at the UC Davis One Health Institute for two weeks of training on processes related to the PREDICT Project. Our conversation touches on how they pursued their careers, what they've learned at the OHI, and how they've enjoyed their stay in California.

New music from Gorillaz, Jesca Hoop (happy birthday to her, by the way), and Brother Ali, as well as some older tunes from The Beatles, Primus, Franz Ferdinand and more. Also, a questionable decision for the first song by Love Anover.

On today’s episode of “That’s Life” Lois Richter interviews Julie Cotton, Volunteer and Outreach Coordinator for the California Raptor Center (CRC), which is located on the UC Davis campus and works in collaboration with the UC Davis School of Veterinary Medicine. The objectives of the CRC are many: from educational outreach to rehabilitating wild raptors back to health for re-release.  Additionally, the CRC provides a sanctuary for injured birds who cannot return to the wild, which affords the opportunity for the public to interact and learn about these majestic creatures. Speaking of raptors—what are they? The term conjures up Jurassic Park for many but Julie explains it was bogarted by producers to refer to dinosaurs—but the term actually refers to birds who hunt with their feet, specifically.
