A Slight Digression: Invertebrates
Invertebrates. Gutless, spineless\u2013 but perhaps under-appreciated invertebrates. We probably don\u2019t spend enough time thinking about that other category of organisms on earth, so on this episode we\u2019re going to spend some time with maybe the most overlooked group of Eukaryotes: Fungi. As it turns out, there are (at least) five MIND BLOWING facts about fungi that we all need to know. We\u2019ll then travel to Southeastern Alaska to study the changing forest community. A wave of climate-driven ecological change is sweeping across the region, and we\u2019ll learn about what this means for forests and the people who live there. Finally on today\u2019s show we leave the invertebrates and debut a new segment that we\u2019re calling Convos with Kau (as in coversation with Kaustubh Thirmulai, PhD candidate in paleoclimate at UT-Austin).\nLearn more about your ad choices.
