Disco Clams

Live from the 2015 Bay Area Science Festival, this episode features UC Berkeley's Lindsey Dougherty, a marine biologist who studies disco clams, which light up underwater. Lindsey's trying to figure out why and how these clams act like underwater disco balls. Trying to guess what she studies and learning why it's important are comedians W. Kamau Bell (CNN's "United Shades of America), Kurt Braunohler (Comedy Central), and Emmy Blotnick (@Midnight). Hosted by Chris Duffy. Produced by Pretty Good Friends.
