Episode 1: Count Down to the Apocalypse?

Several recent news reports have pointed to something terrifying: insect numbers are in catastrophic decline, with some even calling it an “insectageddon.” And while some scientists question these claims, most agree that the demise of these tiny creatures would be the end of us. In the inaugural episode of Insects and the Apocalypse, we explore the fundamental question: how does one even count insects? We then meet a team of scientists working in a small island rainforest who may have stumbled upon the answer.

Science for people who don't like science

or understand it. Grossly simplified, click-bait-y (a thing the author decries, but uses continuously) and over produced. Too much repetition and not enough substance. Each episode is very short and you learn very little, if anything. Background sounds are too loud in the mix and should have not been left at such a high volume that the people are difficult to hear. Pass.
