Episode notes

Next week's episode features a venomous toxicology episode with real life toxicologist Rebecca. Have you been stung? Yes. Like a lot. Maybe half a dozen times. How bad is it? So it depends on the species. There are stinging nettles. They do not, they, I would not ever recommend grabbing a stinging nettle. And afterwards, I've heard this pee thing and I just don't know if it's true, but I want to try it. It does not work.

What even *is* a jellyfish?! How do they eat? What are they made of? Can we eat them? Your new favorite Medusologist, Dr. Rebecca Helm, is a ray of human sunshine in the depths of the deep sea. Truly one of the finest biology conversations you may ever hear. Get ready for PacMan ghosts, pet jellyfish, the biggest and smallest jellies, new band names, live medusas, secret formulas to incite jellyfish puberty, and the lengths that she will go to to see a jelly bloom. And next week, your ears will fill with Toxinology as we explore jellyfish VENOM. Duck into the Polyp Parlor; this is a duo not to be missed.
