The podcast where we discuss real science with real researchers, but with one important difference: the research in question takes place in Middle Earth. Ever since Earth biologists were welcomed into Middle Earth, we've been breaking new biological ground, and finding out more and more about the wildlife and biomes of Middle Earth, and learning a little about our own world in the process. Now, join ecologists Dani Crowley and Sam Perrin as they talk to scientists from all over our world, who are currently at the forefront of research in Middle Earth.

Crabs in the Time of Cholera with Thea Gayatri Fennell

This week we’re joined by Thea Gayatri Fennell, a genomicist whose team was recently called into the town of Dale to investigate the outbreak of a water-borne illness. We learn how one goes about tracing the cause of an outbreak, applying biological solutions to magical problems, and how to fight a giant spider-crab.
