A new episode of Alberta Unbound! And it's a great one - my conversation with Calgary-based Sudanese-Canadian stand up Faris Hytiaa. I recently discovered his comedy - and it is so fresh and funny and unexpected, as is his whole life story. We did this interview a bit differently, and interwove some of his material with our questions. If you're not already a fan - well, you have a great comedian to discover. But our conversation covered everything from the politics of Sudan, to the politics of Alberta, to the meaning of community and identity. This really is a very special episode. https://podcasts.apple.com/ca/podcast/home-and-laughing-with-faris-hytiaa/id1511810939?i=1000736616034 #Calgary #Alberta #yyc #Sudan #abpoli #AlbertaUnbound #SenateofCanada #Lethbridge #ULethbridge #CBC

Trying out Mastodon for the first time. I am a #biologist at #ulethbridge interested in #birds and their #brains. Our lab works mainly with #grouse, #hawks and #pigeons, but also work with other labs on #parrots, #woodpeckers and #songbirds. I also have interests in #paleontology of #birds, #evolution of brains and #animalbehavior, and #domestication. I often post about my #labrador and #munsterlander, #birding and #hiking.
