Episode notes

The chapter delves into the guest's job that blends art and science, focusing on traditional drawing methods and the importance of accurate science communication. It also touches on the unique capabilities of dolphins in the Navy's Marine Mammal Fleet and discusses how biomimicry influences automotive design. Additionally, the speaker shares personal challenges and rewards in their work in anatomy.

Ever poked at roadkill? Watched videos of whales exploding? Drooled over a curio cabinet full of claws & bones? Peered into a jar with a pickled toad? Then this one is for you. Whether you’ve heard it before or are new to this classic ep, you’re sure to be delighted by this Ologist’s storytelling. Arguably the world's most famous comparative anatomist (and pretty-much-also functional morphologist) Dr. Joy Reidenberg pulls up a chair at Mt. Sinai Hospital to talk about her fascinating backstory, exploding whales, taxidermied chipmunks, dead toadfish, animal's weird anatomy and its function and how it might help human health. She is absolutely amazing and you will become obsessed with her work.
