My friend Dr. Cecilia Dahlsjö stops by to discuss her research in Ecology, Invertebrates and some incredible stories from her travels. From the Peruvian rain forests to the Savannah of Kenya, Dr. Dahlsjö has been in some incredible and tense situations! We also discuss some of my favorite creatures including Earthworms, Dung Beetles, Termites, Horseflies and Mosquitos! We also discuss the most dangerous animal on earth, Humans, more specifically police all over the world. This is a informative and hilarious conversation with a wonderful human being!
