We're working to bring you more episodes of Veritalk very soon. In the meantime, we've got a Halloween treat for all of our listeners. Just when you thought it was safe to go back in the water, it's our third episode about Monsters!
Why isn’t King Kong scaling the Empire State Building right now? Should we worry about Godzilla rising from the depths of the Pacific Ocean? Shane Campbell-Staton, co-host of the podcast The Biology of Superheroes and Harvard PhD ’15 in Organismic and Evolutionary Biology, talks about our favorite movie monsters, and some of the biological processes that could make them come to life.
