As much as I try to keep my science life separate from my music life, they sometimes bleed into one another. For my last show of the semester, my guest Barrett Klein helped me bring together SCIENCE and music on KVRX AUSTIN.
We filled the first hour of the show with insect trivia, cultural entomology tidbits, and music made from insect acoustics. Barrett gave a lecture about sleep in honeybees that night at Science Under the Stars, a free and open-to-the-public lecture series of The University of Texas at Austin. Check out Barrett’s website for some of what we talked about on the show.
The second hour of the show was filled with rock ‘n’ roll.
Special thanks to Eben Gering for rocking at insect trivia.
