Summary

My guest today is Andrew McCracken, a current PhD student at the University of Vermont. Andrew is on a quest along with his fellow marine biologists to discover possible answers to a pending crisis for these fragile creatures known as starfish - or more accurately, sea stars. I wanted to begin by hearing his thoughts on why this ancient creature has held such fascination for people all over the world.
