    Coffee & Geography 6x02 Omar Regalado Fernandez (Mexico) Decolonising Paleobiology, Citizen Science
    Feb 21 2026
    In this rich and eye‑opening conversation, Mexican paleobiologist Omar Regalado Fernández joins Kit Marie to explore how paleontology has been shaped by colonial legacies — and how the field can move toward justice. Omar shares how growing up in the Cuautitlán-Pachuca Valley (with its unexpected Cornish connections!), studying in London, and now working in Germany have shaped his identity as a global citizen. They discuss the difference between paleontology and paleobiology, the mythologised history of the Bone Wars, and how scientific institutions often retell “great man” narratives that hide violence and exclude other ways of knowing. The episode also explores: • Why renaming species (like poinsettia) is more than cosmetic • Why Western science treats Indigenous knowledge as “folklore” • How colonialism functions like an “eldritch horror” • The shift toward qualitative and community‑rooted science • Routes into paleontology for neurodivergent young people • Museums, citizen science, and making science accessible Connect with Omar via Bluesky: https://bsky.app/profile/mathchaos.bsky.social and LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/omar-rafael-regalado-fernandez/ Links for further exploration: 🔗 Natural History Museum (UK) – Citizen Science Projects: https://www.nhm.ac.uk/take-part/citizen-science.html 🔗 Senckenberg Natural History Museum (Frankfurt): https://museumfrankfurt.senckenberg.de/en/ 🔗 The Bone Wars: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bone_Wars 🔗 Our past creates our present: a brief overview of racism and colonialism in Western paleontology: https://www.cambridge.org/core/journals/paleobiology/article/our-past-creates-our-present-a-brief-overview-of-racism-and-colonialism-in-western-paleontology/79248D87425C01E9D388DA2EFED92866 🔗 Poinsettia/Cuetlaxōchitl: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Poinsettia 🔗 UNAM – National Autonomous University of Mexico: https://www.unam.mx 🔗 500 Queer Scientists: https://500queerscientists.com/ #CoffeeGeogPod #Paleobiology #DecolonisingScience #STEM #ColonialHistory #Taxonomy #IndigenousKnowledge #CitizenScience #GeographyPodcast #Mexico #Germany #UKScience #GlobalIdentity

    Coffee & Geography 6x01 Gadfly Stratton (Canada) Invasive species, EDIA, Warhammer
    Feb 7 2026
    Season 6 opens with a rich, engaging conversation with environmental researcher and EDIA advocate Gadfly Stratton, joining Kit Marie from Sault Ste. Marie, Ontario. Gadfly explores how their work on aquatic invasive species intersects with equity, diversity, inclusion and accessibility, showing why inclusive science produces better research, better engagement, and stronger community outcomes. They explain how invasive species management relies on trust, representation, and public participation — and why the Great Lakes are a fascinating case study in ecology, policy, and human behaviour. The conversation also dives into: 🌎 Place identity (Toronto, Halifax, Northern Ontario) 🌊 Sea lamprey, goldfish invasions, and citizen science ♿ Why accessibility must be part of EDI 🧠 Science denialism & the dangers of exclusion 🐶 Boots & Muffin 🎮 1200+ hours of Warhammer 40K Rogue Trader ✨ And the joy of learning from different lived experiences Find Gadfly at inclusivescience.ca and on Bluesky at https://bsky.app/profile/inclusivescience.ca Links for further exploration: 🔗 Great Lakes Fishery Commission – Sea Lamprey Control: https://www.glfc.org 🔗 USGS Non‑Native Aquatic Species (NAS) Database: https://nas.er.usgs.gov 🔗 Environment & Climate Change Canada – Aquatic Invasive Species: https://www.dfo-mpo.gc.ca/species-especes/ais-eae/index-eng.html 🔗 Inclusive Science (Gadfly’s website): https://inclusivescience.ca 🔗 Warhammer 40,000 Rogue Trader: https://roguetrader.owlcat.games
