Octavio Cruces Guaderrama, currently a University of Amsterdam MSc Biological Sciences researcher, runs the “Decolonizing Biosciences” podcast. In his podcasts Octavio brings together colonialism and biology, and aims to understand how colonialism has shaped – and still shapes – biological sciences, by discussing issues such as the misuse of medicine in the colonies, parachute science, and the nature/culture dichotomy.
In his current mini-series he is covering the “History of Amazonia”, with support from the Volkert van der Willigen Fund of the University of Amsterdam. You can listen to the fist Amazonian episode by clicking the link below, and check out his podcast feed here for earlier, and future, episodes.
