This was our first remote recording, as the podcast was conducted on-site in the SSMV. You may notice echoes in the beginning of the podcast, but stick with it as it does not persist throughout!
Many thanks to Dr. Grigor for hosting us!\\xa0 The picture above doesn\'t do the aquarium justice.\\xa0 It\'s really a sight to behold and is changing all the time- a terrific experience for the lucky students at the SSMV!
