Dr. Kurt Schwenk
hydrodictyon.eeb.uconn.edu/eeb...
It was a pretty incredible gift to be able to work with Kurt on this episode. His work spans decades and it took multiple tries to understand it in a way that could be put together in a narrative. I am very grateful for all of his time, warmth and generosity. I had to leave many, many wonderful pieces of research and factoids out due to time constraints but I would urge any of you that are interested to dive deeper into his work.
His colleagues Dr. William G. Ryerson, Ms. Amanda E. Hewes and
Ms. Sara Horwitz contributed a great deal to some of the research that I mentioned.
Dr. Margaret Rubega (rubegalab.uconn.edu/) deserves thanks for introducing me to Kurt in the first place.

[@neuralmute]

From now on I am going to demand that my colleagues address me as Brain Witch and Apothecary of Happiness! I'm pretty sure that at least one of them will adopt the title as well. We may even start wearing pointy hats to the office. Because we are serious adults, of course.

"As you can see, there is, indeed, a significant gap [of humor] at about 370 sec (6:43). This might not bother you at all, which is totally fine."

It's hilarious.
