Wild Connection Interviews Halmos Environmental Faculty
Hoch researches barnacles in the lab.
This September, Halmos College environmental faculty member J. Matthew Hoch, Ph.D. was interviewed by Jennifer Verdolin’s “Wild Connection” Podcast. This podcast focuses on relationships and family dynamics of the animal kingdom and how that can apply to people.
Hoch spoke about his research on his current research: genital evolution and reproduction in fish and barnacles.
Verdolin is the author of two popular nonfiction science books, “Wild Connection: What Animal Courtship and Mating Tell Us About Human Relationships” and “Raised by Animals: The Surprising New Science of Animal Family Dynamics.” She draws on animal behavior to reveal how much we can learn from other species to improve our relationships, families, and lives. Her writing has appeared in Scientific American, Slate Magazine, The Washington Post, and National Geographic.
