In response to the ongoing pandemic, we are producing a short, no-frills daily podcast series: “Social Insect Distancing”. For today’s episode, we chatted with guest Dr. Andrew Burkhardt, a Submillimeter Array Postdoctoral Fellow in the Center for Astrophysics at Harvard and the Smithsonian. We hope that learning a little about ants will provide cross-species comfort for anxious human readers!
