We explore the basic as well as the complex by having lesson plans, conversations with friends and other scientists, breaking down the peer-reviewed literature, and even going on walks and sharing thoughts. I want to share my passion for life on Earth with you, and challenge ourselves to learn about, connect to, and love the natural world in what some are calling a post-natural age. Join me, Brit Garner, to explore the amazing living systems on Earth and the mechanics that drive them. <video> Nurse Sharks and Other Strange Names Description: On this episode of Nature League, Brit investigates how the nurse shark and other species got their intriguing English names.

Description

On Nature League, we explore the biology and ecology of life on Earth together and ask questions that inspire us to marvel at all things wild.

We explore the basic as well as the complex by having lesson plans, conversations with friends and other scientists, breaking down the peer-reviewed literature, and even going on walks and sharing thoughts.

I want to share my passion for life on Earth with you, and challenge ourselves to learn about, connect to, and love the natural world in what some are calling a post-natural age.

Join me, Brit Garner, to explore the amazing living systems on Earth and the mechanics that drive them.
