In today's episode, we will look at the story of Alexandra Morton, a whale researcher whose career took an unexpected turn when the whales all left. Join Clara and Emily on a journey up to British Columbia and learn about what might be causing the collapse of the wild salmon stocks. We explore the life story of a woman who persevered and made tremendous strides in research.

Emily takes Clara on a trip down memory lane to her first job in the field of biology... chopping up deer. In this week's episode, we learn the relationship between a meningeal nematode, moose, deer, and gastropods in mainland Nova Scotia.
