Have you ever wanted to see through the eyes of an animal? Science writer Ed Yong encourages us to explore beyond the limits of human senses to discover how animals perceive the world around them. We’ll learn how turtles track magnetic fields, what exactly dolphins can sense with their echolocation, and why giant squid need such enormous eyes. In our discussion, we’ll examine the incredible ways that marine animals in particular are adapted to their unique environment.
