Radiolab
Caterpillar RoadshowA couple years ago, an entomologist named Martha Weiss got a letter from a little boy in Japan saying he wanted to replicate a famous study of hers. Radiolab covered that original study on an episode called “Goo and You,” and in addition to revealing some fascinating secrets of insect life, it also raises big questions about memory, permanence and transformation. The letter Weiss received about building on this study set in motion a series of spectacular events that advance her original science and show how science works when a 12-year-old boy is the one doing it. Weiss’ daughter, reporter Annie Rosenthal, captured all of it and turned it into a beautiful audio story called "Caterpillar Roadshow."
