Part 5: Martin's Final Cut “I know that look.” Trina said as she stepped in close to Martin. She placed her hands on his shoulders and he quivered in terror as she spoke soothingly to him, “Plenty of boys give me that same look at the clinic every day. I’m going to tell you exactly what I tell them.” It took all of Martin’s courage to look into Trina’s face. To his relief, there was not a trace of malice in Trina’s countenance as she continued, “I’m a clinician here to help you.” He watched her eyes shift slightly over his shoulder and knew she was looking at Brittany ...

Scientific discovery is often a collaborative experience. But for a group of men in the early 1800s studying birds of North America, it was a messy and chaotic effort to identify and write about many different species as possible, all while trying to outdo each other. Naturalist Kenn Kaufman writes about what John James Audubon and his peers discovered (and what they missed) and how it impacts our understanding of the world today. His book is called, The Birds That Audubon Missed, and Kaufman joins us to discuss.This episode is guest-hosted by Kousha Navidar
