How the Humanities is Shaping Biology Studies - Heatherlee Leary

Tony, Stew, and Heatherlee are discussing her research on urban trees and ecosystems in relation to wildlife conservation, which is a tie to both STEM and the Humanities. Her research focuses on the impact of urbanization on ecosystems, and the role of bats as pollinators and insectivores. She also discusses the importance of preserving the Sonoran Desert as it is known and experienced by humans, as it contains both deeply historical and cultural ties.

This field of wildlife conservation is not just about science, but also about understanding the cultural and historical context of the environment and how it relates to human desires. This connection between STEM and Humanities is important in understanding and addressing the complex issues surrounding wildlife conservation.
