PODCAST
 
In the first of a two-part series for From the Crows’ Nest, host Ken Miller goes back to basics with John Mazluff, Professor of Wildlife Science at the University of Washington and "Gifts of the Crow" and "In the Company of Crows and Ravens." They discuss why members of the EMSO community are called crows, and why is the moniker so key to understanding our mission and identity?
 
 
On a recent episode of From the Crows' Nest, host Ken Miller was joined by David Coyle, a 20-year Air Force veteran and CEO of Disruptive EW Machines (DEWM), to discuss why the future of EW training requires a fundamental shift away from scripted scenarios against known threats toward preparing warfighters to react to constantly evolving spectrum environments.
