Season 6 Episode 6: Neutrino-Hunting Trees, and the Auditory Secrets of Fish with Dr. Allison Coffin

Send us Fan Mail

Imagine trekking to witness an awe-inspiring eclipse and stumbling upon a radical idea that trees might just be the next big thing in neutrino detection. That's exactly the kind of unexpected twist you'll find in our latest podcast adventure.

Our guest, neuroscientist Dr. Allison Coffin, joins us to shed light on the remarkable similarities between fish and human auditory systems and their implications for treating human hearing loss. We'll explore the regenerative prowess of our underwater counterparts and the tantalizing possibility of harnessing this power to revolutionize human health.

As we segue from discussing the sensory wonders of the deep to reflecting on the bonds we share with our terrestrial companions, this episode takes an emotional turn. From the heartfelt tale of Polaris, the once-feral tabby cat, to the touching stories of pet love and loss that resonate with all animal lovers, we celebrate the creatures that touch our lives.

And, as a nod to our generous Paw Pack supporters, we express our gratitude for enabling us to share these stories of science, nature, and the indelible connections that weave them together.
