Summary
In this episode of STEMcast, we join Simon Daoust to discuss the intersection of ecology, evolution, and medicine. We hear about everything from mind-controlling parasites to sustainable ecosystem design, and explore questions like “will there ever be a cure to cancer?”, or “why are Homo Sapiens the only human-like species to have avoided extinction?”. Dr. Daoust’s broad expertise provides for a thrilling and humorous deep-dive into all of these.
