Cnidariology (CORAL) Encore with Shayle Matsuda
6/17/20261 hr 22 min
Will changing your sunscreen save coral reefs? What even IS a coral? Where do they grow and what do they eat and why are they so pretty? Is it reefs or reeves? The wonderful and charming coral biologist and cnidariologist Shayle Matsuda takes time out of his busy schedule during a coral spawning event to chat about how magical and beautiful coral can be and why reef health is important. Also: whether or not "Finding Nemo" got coral right, making transitions during grad school, and how to pursue your ambitions while being bravely authentic. He'll quickly become your favorite cnidariologist.
Catch up with Dr. Shayle Matsuda’s work at the Shedd Aquarium’s Center for Conservation and Research

Oh, hey, it's 2026. This is Ally. I'm in the American Southwest. I'm in New Mexico. This is my 49th out of 50 states I visited. You're thinking, which one's next? Which th- which is the final one? West Virginia. I got a crayfish guy that I'm gonna go out there to see eventually. Anyway, I'm in New Mexico. I'm interviewing a skunk expert that I have been waiting to meet for over six years. I'm meeting him in about an hour. I'm wearing black and white striped socks. I'm so nervous. My palms are sweating. I knew I was getting married for about six months before I got married. Wedding day jitters. Now imagine six years of waiting to meet a skunk expert. Can you believe it? Imagine how I'm feeling. Nervous, I'm shaking, I hope I say the right thing. Jarrett's coming with me. We're gonna talk skunks. But because I'm in New Mexico, I'm hopping around. Uh, we are giving you this encore episode of one that I love, love, love. This was absolutely a joy to record. It was a beautiful setting. Wonderful
