Welcome to SciShow Tangents Rewind! Each week, we’ll be bringing you an old episode of the show, in original airing order. Whether you’re listening through for the first time or rediscovering old favorites, there’s something for everyone! Enjoy!
We’re joined by evolutionary biologist and science communicator Dr. Sally LePage to talk all about parasites! How did we deal with them before modern medicine? Are there any parasites bigger than their hosts? And is parasite-ception a thing!?
Original Airdate: December 25, 2018
