129: Top Science Stories of 2025

Welcome back to Birds of a Feather Talk Together—and welcome to our first new episode of 2026! After wrapping up our deep dive into ducks, we’re kicking off the new year by doing something a little different: each of us brings a favorite science story from 2025 to the table, along with a look ahead at what we’re most excited about in 2026. Join John Bates, Shannon Hackett, RJ Pole, and Amanda Pole for a wide-ranging conversation. We talk about juncos, robots in science, and how new research is shaping the way we study birds and understand the natural world. This episode also features a meaningful and candid update from Shannon on her cochlear implant surgery—how hearing restoration technology has impacted her daily life, her work as a scientist, and the way she experiences sound in her every day life. If you’re a cochlear implant recipient, hearing-aid user, audiology professional, or someone interested in accessibility in science, this conversation offers a personal and insightful perspective you won’t want to miss. As always, there’s plenty of bird talk, thoughtful science discussion, and a sense of curiosity about where the next year will take us—both personally and professionally. #BirdsOfAFeatherTalkTogether #BirdScience #Ornithology #SciencePodcast #BirdPodcast #BirdResearch #Juncos #NatureScience #ScienceCommunication #AccessibleScience #CochlearImplant #HearingRestoration #Audiology #DisabilityInSTEM #RobotsInScience #ScienceAndTechnology #NaturalWorld #ScientistsTalking #2025Science #ScienceIn2026
