- Sciographies – Episode 21 – David Barclay, Oceanographer Thu, Nov 05, 2020
In the last Sciographies episode of the year, Dalhousie University pharmacology student
Gracious Kashéké tackles hosting duties to interview David Barclay for a change. When Dr.
Barclay isn’t moonlighting as the host of Sciographies, he’s an associate professor in Dal’s
Department of Oceanography and a Canada Research Chair in Ocean Technology Systems (Tier
II).Having grown up in Victoria, B.C., Dr. Barclay spent many childhood vacations sailing along the
West Coast. But it was actually a gig as a student researcher and a lifelong fascination with
sound, music, and recording that led Dr. Barclay down a career path in physical oceanography
and underwater acoustics.Now Dr. Barclay runs the Dalhousie Noise Lab where his team designs technology that can
withstand harsh conditions to record sound waves from the ocean’s surface all the way down
to its deepest trenches. His technology is an essential tool in the fields of naval defence, naval
communication, and marine biology.Guest host Kashéké sits down with Dr. Barclay to talk about his upbringing, creative side, and
research (including that popular scientific paper on noise in the ocean at the beginning of the
pandemic).Sciographies is brought to you by Dalhousie University’s Faculty of Science and campus-
community radio station CKDU 88.1 FM in Halifax, Nova Scotia.—

In this episode, we interview Dr. Sophia Stone. She’s a molecular biologist and professor in the
Department of Biology at Dalhousie University.Thanks to mentorship from strong female influences and unwavering commitment throughout
her life, Dr. Sophia Stone built a career in science that can help society answer critical questions
about the future of food security. Her research explores the fundamental principles that explain
how plants respond to their environments and cope with changes. It’s an area of research
that’s especially important today because producing enough food to feed the growing global
population in the face of climate change is an urgent problem in need of solutions.Host David Barclay sits down with Dr. Sophia Stone to talk about her experience immigrating
from Jamaica to Canada, her career path and research, and her passion for increasing diversity
in STEM fields.Sciographies is brought to you by Dalhousie University’s Faculty of Science and campus-

- Sciographies – Episode 19 – Tess Cyrus, Economist Thu, Oct 22, 2020
In this episode, we interview Dr. Tess Cyrus. She’s an economist and associate professor with
Dalhousie’s Department of Economics.Dr. Cyrus grew up in sunny California, just a stone’s throw away from Disneyland. As a self-
proclaimed bookworm, she spent hours on end reading anything she could get her hands on.
That natural curiosity sparked her desire to escape the American dream and experience life
outside of the United States. She got her chance in university, when she studied abroad for a
year in Scotland. While there, she had the opportunity to travel throughout Europe to witness
other cultures and ways of life — and that’s when she discovered a passion for international
economics.Today, Dr. Cyrus is an associate professor in the Department of Economics and her research
focuses on understanding the forces that bring people together. She studies international trade
and bilateral trade flows with an emphasis on how culture plays a role in these processes.
As an educator, she’s also interested in designing and improving the economics curriculum. Her
commitment to putting her best foot forward for students has been recognized with
Dalhousie’s Faculty of Science Award for Excellence in Teaching.In this episode of Sciographies, Dr. Cyrus talks to host David Barclay about what it was like to
grow up in a storied place like Southern California, why economics was the subject that
captured her interest (after a short stint in chemistry), and some of her most recent studies on
international trade and economics education.Sciographies is brought to you by Dalhousie University’s Faculty of Science and campus-
