The December 5th show featured a conversation originally recorded and aired in Fall 2019. I spoke with Leslie Harris, a polychaete specialist based at the Natural History Museum of Los Angeles County. Leslie has an infectious enthusiasm for all things polychaete, and we spoke about their diversity of life history and form, some of the challenges around really understanding the distribution and diversity of species in the eastern Pacific Ocean, and her interest in finding collaborators to work with in Southeast Alaska.
