He is also the curator of echinoderms at the Natural History Museum London - and so was ready to chat all things starfish-adjacent (e.g., google the brittle star, for a real shock!). We discussed the ups and down of academic research, &quot;brooding&quot; methods in starfish, and what happens to starfish when they get too hot (a clue: it is not pretty).  As always: stay curious, stay cozy. <br/><br/>N.B. Near the beginning of the recording, we share an Instagram video from the comedian Patrick Spicer, instagram handle: @patrickspicer. </p>","author_name":"Clare V. Church"}
