Join me (a scientist) and my co-host (your friendly neighbourhood science enthusiast) as we dive into the world of STEM. The format: We find something science-y (an article, a video, whatever) that we find interesting and talk about it.
Today we are talking about all things primates! Join us as we chat about the evolution of our ancestors and relatives.
