A 60-ton wake up call

by • 1 Comment

This time, I want to play for you the first episode of another podcast that I host and co-produce called the Podcast of Life.

It’s for a group called the Encyclopedia of Life, which is an online, evolving encyclopedia of every species on the planet.

Each episode of the podcast features a different marine organism, and you can find out more online.

The Encyclopedia of Life was born when biologist E.O. Wilson said, "Imagine an electronic page for each species of organism on Earth..."
