Today’s guest is Dr. Elsie Shogren! Elsie is an evolutionary biologist who studies how sexual and natural selection interact to shape the evolution of behaviors and traits, including intricate dancing repertoires in birds. We also got to chat about Elsie’s musical interests, including fiddle playing, family jam sessions, contra dancing, and a deep love of melody.
Check out Elsie’s playlist here, where you can find her recommendations for ‘Supplementary Songs’ and ‘Extended Plays’: Apple Music and Spotify
