Northern Latitudes

Northern Latitudes is a podcast about what happens when we slow down long enough to really pay attention to the landscapes we live in, move through, and depend on. Hosted by Bill Ault, the show explores the intersection of nature, science, culture, and from across Canada and beyond. Conversations range from ecology and conservation to health, history, outdoor adventure, and the quieter human stories that connect us. At its core, Northern Latitudes is curious and grounded. It’s about thoughtful conversations with people who spend their lives asking good questions — scientists, authors, researchers, photographers, filmmakers, and advocates who help us see familiar places in new ways. Episodes often return to a few recurring themes: Our relationship with the natural world How science and lived experience inform each other What it means to live well Why place still matters in an increasingly digital world</l

  <p>SMALL WINGS, OLD BONES Northern Latitudes — Episode Show Notes</p><p>There's a thread connecting this episode that isn't obvious at first. One conversation is about something very much alive — small, social, and in trouble. The other is about something long gone, found frozen in rock on a high Arctic island. But both stories ask the same kind of question: what does an animal's fate tell us about the world it inhabited, and the one we're building now?</p><p>Part One: The Science of Bees with Noria Morfin, Assistant Professor, Department of Entomology, University of Manitoba</p><p>The...
