It's time for another episode, this time from our new podcast studio, aka, our new back porch! After traipsing for truffles, we go back to all things nature and explore the incredible acrobatic and speed demons, the falcons. Join Marvin and Gabrielle to learn more about these incredibly specialized birds of prey, falconry, and the bioinspirations and biomimicry that lead to jumps in technology by studying these amazing raptors.
Here's some more information about falcons, raptor centers, and more:
