President Brian Sandoval takes listeners around the globe during his conversation with Dr. Sudeep Chandra, a professor of limnology, and Dr. Zeb Hogan, a research associate professor of biology. As friends and colleagues for 20-plus years, Chandra and Hogan have worked together to protect bodies of water and fish species in places such as Mongolia, Cambodia, Russia and Lake Tahoe.
This extended episode looks at Hogan and Chandra’s work with the Wonders of the Mekong Project, an international collaboration based out of the University’s Global Water Center to research, educate and advise on water and biodiversity issues in the Mekong River basin in Cambodia. Sandoval, Chandra and Hogan also recount the January 2023 visit to Cambodia by Sandoval and other University faculty to build connections between the University and the Cambodian government, the benefits of the new University of Nevada, Reno Lake Tahoe location for research and policy development, and the popular National Geographic television show “Monster Fish,” with an in-person exhibit now open at The Terry Lee Wells Nevada Discovery Museum.
