Show Notes

This episode was a struggle-and-a-half to get into the world. It was one of the first we recorded remotely because of COVID19 and I (Trace. Me, I did it!) lost the first TWO versions we did due to technical glitches. I'm so happy to bring you Amy's episode about the wonders of the Upside Down Jellyfish! It's a story of mutualism, stinging globs, algae, and the divers who finally studied them.
