Description

Have you ever wondered what secrets lurk in the basement of a natural history museum?

Most of the specimen are not on display, but are an invaluable resource for researchers. But what exactly can we learn from natural history collections? What stories do the specimens tell us? In this podcast, I talk to the people working in collections, and explore some of the amazing and surprising science they discovered.
