Meet Pgh’s Viral TikTok Snail-fluencer

Tim Pearce doesn’t really think about being a social media sensation—he is too busy thinking about snails! Section head and curator of the Carnegie Museum of Natural History’s mollusk department joins us to talk about how he got started studying nature's underdogs, why our warm winter might make them particularly rambunctious, and what it is like to go viral (online).  And Picklesburgh has been nominated AGAIN for Best Specialty Food Festival by USA Today’s 10Best Reader’s Choice Travel awards, and voting will be open until March 20th.  Want some more Pittsburgh news?
