So Many from One? - Dr. Matthew Herron, Georgia Tech

This week’s episode is with Dr. Matthew Herron, professor of
Evolutionary Biology at Georgia Tech university. He found us
through a series of articles on our blog about the emergence of
multicellularity, and joined us for an excellent conversation on
the topic. Over the course of the hour we covered all kinds of
topics, from what the biology of Volvocine algae can tell us
about our own multicelled nature, to more philosophical subjects
like the emergence of life on earth, the value of careful
speculation, and the way that basic science encourages us to
pursue pure curiosity, simply for the sake of knowing what’s
possible.
