Last week, I posted about the release of the 2007 IUCN Red List and FOX News Radio's Holly Hickman called to find out more. I explained why we need to consider the Red List as a wake up call because what happens to other lifeforms will have tremendous implications for us. Dwindling biodiversity will not only alter our consumption patterns, but may lead to the spread of disease, lack of pollination, access to medicine, human health, and trophic cascades. This short - but surprisingly comprehensive piece - aired Saturday.

We both sound like we're on 'roids! Lovely compression rates. Anyway, Sheril actually did the interview while on her way to her brother's wedding. Yup. Here she's got this major event to focus on, and she STILL takes a generous chunk of time to spread the word on extinction rates, ocean acidification, and the interconnectedness of it all. And she's just as eloquent and impassioned and funny as she comes across on the blog. Science is lucky to have her.
Listened to your interview, and I'm particularly impressed after reading the first comment.
