Episode notes

i'll not have regrets, as long as i can work with people and organisms that never let me down when it comes to sumthin. I once found a small sand oller that had picked out of the sediment some weird star shaped things that were about sand grain,. And i didn't know what they were, but the person sitting next me happened to know that it was a species of foramniferon. That is one of the delights. So there are links to a bunch of stuff we talked about, and morton fo on, the wonderful rich moy, is at the link in the show notes.

The hedgehogs of the sea: echinoids are spiky, spiny, pokey, be-toothed, venomous, mysterious, gorgeous evolutionary marvels. And Dr. Rich Mooi of the California Academy of Arts & Sciences is one of their biggest champions. Come stroll through the offices for a face-to-face encounter with this infectious expert. We talk sand dollars, uni, doves of peace, fire urchins, kelp forests, tiny hats, butt placement, foot eyes and how to find your niche, even if it’s miles below the surface on a rotting log.
