Wolf Trainers

We are joined by special guests Dr. Andre Bulla and Oscar Turcios who share their continued adventure training wolves on a reserve. We invited them on after a conference presentation in which they described their experiences testing for concept learning in wolves, learning about wolves, and traveling during pandemic. It all started with a bottle of bourbon. Listen in to hear their story about training wolves.

Motivational Interviewing
Motivational Interviewing

Turns out the method of persuasion we have all grown to love being on the receiving end of, condescending lectures and rhetorical questions, might not be the most effective way of connecting with someone and helping them change their mind. Motivational interviewing is not only a non-combative counseling style, it is also a strategy for being a good listener. You have probably heard something about it, so listen in to get the bigger picture.

132 | The Ghosts of Limbs Past: Phantom Limb Pain | Why We Do What We Do

WARNING! In this episode, we discuss topics that involve severe harm to humans and animals. If this is a sensitive issue for you, consider skipping this episode. For the most part, we made attempts to avoid the description of actual physical violence. Instead, we explore what phantom limb pain is and some of the hypotheses around why we have it. Have you ever wondered whether people born without limbs would feel phantom limb pain? Or where the pain is located in the missing body part? We describe the research on how common this experience is and what researchers believe they understand about why people experience pain in missing body parts after those body parts are no longer there, sometimes long after they are gone!
