Listen "Starfish⭐️"
Episode Synopsis
Please welcome to the fireside Hugh Carter (@Hugh_Carter_), a PhD student examining the biogeography of starfish at University College London. He is also the curator of echinoderms at the Natural History Museum London - and so was ready to chat all things starfish-adjacent (e.g., google the brittle star, for a real shock!). We discussed the ups and down of academic research, "brooding" methods in starfish, and what happens to starfish when they get too hot (a clue: it is not pretty). As always: stay curious, stay cozy. N.B. Near the beginning of the recording, we share an Instagram video from the comedian Patrick Spicer, instagram handle: @patrickspicer. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
