Bonus Episode – The 12 Days of DUML

by |Published

The Duke University Marine Lab hosts a holiday party in early December, and students are encouraged to think about performing a skit, or song, or dance. Mostly, they don’t. Classes are still in session, exams are coming up, they are contemplating moving back to main campus after a semester at the lab. It’s a busy time. But in 2023 the undergraduates took up the challenge. Let by Sage Hirschfeld and Nicole Masarova, and assisted by Lara Breithaupt and Emme Ayers, the students wrote and performed “The 12 days of DUML.”  Check out the videos of the live performance (of the song and a line dance) below.  We liked the song so much, we got Sage and Nicole to perform and record it separately as well.  Enjoy!

Episode 27 – Science in the Sargasso Sea

In this episode, Lisa Campbell shares a story of sailing, science, and Sargassum. Based on a 3-day research cruise to the Sargasso Sea, the story  was originally developed during a workshop with The Story Collider, a non-profit organization that “helps people of all walks of life — from scientists to doctors to patients to engineers to teachers to firefighters — tell their true, personal stories about science.”  Not only did the workshop inspire this particular story, it motivated Lisa to think about podcasting as something she might do.
