Our apologies on the lack of video this week, we made a mistake during recording and forgot to record video!
Kyle and Emily address a question that has haunted romantic partners for years--but this divisive worm conversation leads them to a much more fruitful discussion on the word fissiparous.
Lovers of zoology, biology, and even microbiology, this is the episode for you. Our hosts discuss everything from nuclear fission, to how cells clone themselves, to the regeneration of all those worms we split in half as children…We all did that, right?
Kyle also takes the opportunity to answer some vital questions about animals of the sea. Like, is it starfish or sea star? Will a whole starfish regrow from just a fragment? And what exactly defines a fish? That last one, it turns out, is a topic Emily’s been DYIN’ to cover.
Join us every week as we explore the fascinating origins and meanings of words, uncovering the hidden stories behind language and how it evolves over time, for language enthusiasts and etymology buffs alike.
