Big Picture Science - Let’s Take a Paws
Humans aren’t the only animals stressed-out by social distancing. Narwhals send out echolocation clicks to locate their buddies and ease their loneliness. And a plant about to be chomped by a caterpillar knows that the world can be a scary place.
In this episode, from dogs to narwhals to plants, we put aside human-centric stories to find out how other living creatures map their world, deal with stress, and communicate.
Guests:
- Alexandra Horowitz – Dog cognition researcher, Barnard College, and author of "Being A Dog: Following the Dog Into a World of Smell.”
- Susanna Blackwell – Bio-acoustician with Greeneridge Sciences
- Simon Gilroy – Professor of botany, University of Wisconsin, Madison
