Return of the Flesh-Eaters

“Yikes! If you’ve heard anything about screwworm outbreaks in North America this week and don’t know what a screwworm is (I didn’t), this Radiolab episode is a great resource to learn more. From the episode description: Today, screwworms have been gone so long that none of us in North America even remember them. But now, they’re coming back. And they’re forcing us to ask: in an era of climate change and rapid mass extinction— should we kill off a species on purpose? I loooove the sound design of Radiolab! I’ll listen to any topic they cover, even episodes about gross bugs, just because I know they’ll make it interesting.”
