Joy Reidenberg: Weird whales
In her talk, “Why Whales are Weird,” energetic, articulate anatomist Joy Reidenberg presented an amazing array of fact about the beloved mammal (Whales evolved from deer-like creatures! Their spinal movement is more like galloping in the water! They don’t actually spout water! They have mustaches!). She took us through the story of evolution using whales as a model, explaining that evolution is the process to mediate resilience and thus, survival.
Great viewing if you have a spare 25 minutes! Very interesting lecture by the passionate Joy Reidenberg. If you haven’t watched Inside Nature’s Giants with which she is involved I would also highly recommend the series.
