What the Fish?
The What the Fish? biweekly podcast series dives into various topics surrounding the biodiversity of fishes, including discussions on their general biology, ecology, and evolution. Join us as the fish nerds (Beth Sanzenbacher, Eric Ahlgren, Leo Smith, and Matthew Davis) banter, debate, quip, and explore fishy subject matters that range from the ponds and streams near your home to the deepest recesses of the ocean. Please follow us on Twitter and tweet us your fishy questions @FM_WhatTheFish or email us at whatthefish@fieldmuseum.org.
