This episode's guest is Kevin McAvoy, an aquarium biologist at a major public aquarium and the one of the hosts of the Radioactive Spider-Pod, a comedy show that looks at the 1990s animated Spider-Man series. We talk about what an aquarium biologist is, some of the science and work needed to build and maintain an aquarium's exhibits, as well as the importance of communicating this science to the public.
David Latchman is a freelance science writer and host of this podcast. He runs the Science vs. Hollywood blog (sciencevshollywood.com) where he explores the portrayal of science in television shows and movies.
