038 - Deep-sea jellies with George Matsumoto

Episode 38 Published 2 years, 10 months ago

Description

The Professor is back on land and Dr Thom is back from Squid Christmas, what a better time to talk about the squishiest of deep sea critters? We talk with George Matsumoto from MBARI all about gelatinous deep sea species. How do we study them? How on earth can we preserve them or even capture their fragile bodies? Plus, we find out exactly what that curious little blue spiky blob was.
