Description
Ever pause your millionth watch-through of your favorite version of Star Trek to wonder, "How is Klingon blood pink?" or, "Would hologram lungs even work?" or even, "Wait, do Ferengi ears fall off?!" Hosts Kelley (she/her), a marine biologist, and Eryn (they/them), a huge Star Trek fan, share the conversations they were already having at their house about the physiology of Star Trek aliens.
