"No mum my job in science engagement is a real job and I definitely have a career plan in mind, now if you'll excuse me I've just received an email from a colleague that looks important"

Sometimes there comes a beautiful reminder of why I love this channel. 😂

 

Thanks Jules. You’ve made my day.

Hi folks, hope all's well. First time caller, long-time listener etc.

 

My name's Jules. I am involved in communicating zoological science and I occasionally make mobile apps for science communication. I know a few people on this list are involved in communicating zoological science so I wanted to flag up a free resource that launched yesterday.

 

You are all probably aware how much penis bias there is in popular discussions and media pieces about animal reproductive genitalia. To counter this, the evolutionary biologist Professor Patricia Brennan (she of duck penis / vagina fame among other things) and I have made a free VR resource for Android phones (using Google Cardboard). It's available through Google Play here. It'd suit museums, talks, schools and science-themed get-togethers.

 

If you are a science communicator and you are doing any shows about animal reproductive anatomy and want to offer audience participation please feel free to use this app as a way to convey that female reproductive anatomy is subjected to just as interesting evolutionary craziness as all those penises we know and love.

 

Have a lovely day, Jules - www.juleshoward.co.uk
