TESTED: A Surprising History of Women's Sports is a series produced by CBC, NPR's Embedded, and Bucket of Eels. The series is hosted by Rose Eveleth (they/them).
Through history and the ongoing cases of current athletes, TESTED explores the surprising story of who gets to compete in the women's category of sports.
The TESTED website contains episode transcripts and links for further reading
Queerly Natural is a science-based podcast about the diversity of sexuality, sex, and gender in the natural world. Join three queer biologists as they chat about the huge array of LGBTQIA+ diversity among animals, plants, fungi, and more.
Episodes are released the first Wednesday of every month. The website contains episode transcripts and timestamps for topics.
Cory Silverberg is a sex educator and the author of “What Makes a Baby”, “Sex is a Funny Word”, and the new book “You Know, Sex” which is for children 10+. Cory spoke in this interview about teaching and learning about sex as it relates to not only reproduction, but also pleasure, power, and identity. These are valuable ideas for science educators looking to put their teachings about sex in context with students’ whole lives.
In this episode, Ologies podcast host Alie Ward interviews genderqueer researcher Dr. Daniel Pfau. Dr. Pfau talks extensively about gender in biology, including queer behavior in animals, how hormones influence the brain, the variation of gender expression, how a strict gender binary is harmful to entire populations, hormone replacement therapy, and hormones in sports. The episode page includes streaming for Parts 1 and 2, as well as a transcript and show notes.
The hosts of Lab Out Loud Podcast were very interested to hear from Sam and Lewis about our science-specific strategies for gender inclusion. Thanks, Brian and Dale, for having us on the show!
Host Molly Woodstock and guest host Z Griffler hosted Sam on their award-winning podcast Gender Reveal. Thanks, Molly and Z, for having us on the show and for funding the grant to support our work!
In this week’s episode, guest host Z Griffler (they/them) speaks with Gender Reveal grant winner Sam Long (he/him), a high school biology teacher working to make science classes more diverse, accurate and inclusive. Topics include:
- What most high school biology classes get wrong
- Becoming the first trans astronaut
- Queering curriculums (through animal mating rituals)
- How being gay could help a population(!)
- Finding trans Nemo?!?
Jon Moscow and Amy Halpern-Laff host a podcast called Ethical Schools Podcast, and they recently spoke with us about gender inclusivity in biology curriculum. Thanks, Jon and Amy, for hosting us and elevating this developing area of education. And thanks for having helpful timestamps and transcripts of all your episodes.
We speak with high school science teachers and trans men, Sam Long and Lewis Maday-Travis, who have developed resources and trainings to help biology teachers develop gender-inclusive curricula. Science tells us that sexual and gender diversity is both normal and positive.
Peter Hostrawser hosts a podcast called Disrupt Education, and recently spoke with us about growing a gender-inclusive biology curriculum. Thanks Peter, for hosting us and for helping spread the word about our developing work. ● Visit Peter’s website at https://www.disrupteducation.co to see more of his work in education.
Sam Long (he/him) and River Suh (they/them or he/him) are science teachers in Colorado and San Francisco respectively. They have a unique focus on gender-inclusive biology content. This means teaching topics like genetics, reproduction, and evolution in ways that affirm rather than omit or marginalize LGBTQ+ identities. The are a part of a group with one other trans science teacher who have been doing this work in their classrooms for many years. Recently they began training other teachers and publishing essays, and compiling web resources (in progress) on this topic. They are experts in this emerging area of education. River and Sam talk about the need for diverse and accurate biology curriculum, how it benefits all students, and how it looks in practice.
