Episode 68: Superorganisms
2021/08/12
Large groups of related organisms occasionally behave in ways similar to single multicellular organisms. This phenomenon is especially prevalent in insects, especially in the order Hymenoptera. If this order is ever split it will be unable to wear white at its wedding. The fearsome threesome of Michael, Marschal and Jon tackle this phenomenon as well as some current science news.

Nothing tastes as good as being fit feels, except for candy, ice cream, butter, steak, onion rings, french fries, beer, bacon, pie, cake, bagels with cream cheese, empanadas, tortas, grilled cheese sandwiches, french toast, pancakes, marmalade, chili, cheesecake, lard, milk, etc.  The Nature Boy crew tackles some popular methods for dropping that quarantine weight and generally has a lovely time together in this thrilling episode!

Digestible science from informed people!
This podcast is hosted by 3 PhD students from UC Riverside, but does not have the condescending tone of most scientist-hosted podcasts. I love science...
★☆☆☆☆

Much room to improve
Quality sound recording and editing would be a good first step.
