Some weeks it's zombie ants, some weeks it's kinky squid sex;  this week, it's kinky squid sex with Ben Wegener.  If you're looking for a conversation that veers wildly between technical aspects of sexual selection and questionable beauty products, we've got what you're looking for.  (Warning: this episode's audio is a little NSFW).

ZOMBIES!  WANT YOUR BRAI…*ahem*. In this episode we chat with David Hughes (@zombieantguy): entomologist, parasitologist, and high-flying consultant to Hollywood and video games!  Come hear about behaviour-controlling fungi in ants, World War Z, and The Last of Us.  If you like better science in pop culture, David’s your guy.

Christie Wilcox (@NerdyChristie) comes on to school us on lionfish with liver damage and why scientists should use social media.  Come for the invasive species, stay for the social media smackdown!

If you want to hear about cobra venom in your eye and tramping around the jungles like a *real* biologist, then Phil Torres is your man and this is your episode!  Plus, the behind-the-scenes story of the Donald Trump caterpillar.  Don't miss this one!
