Brian Taylor shares his research on magnetoreception. Animals like birds and sea turtles use magnetoreception to use the Earth's magnetic field for navigation, but it's not a sense that's well understood. Brian uses animal magnetoreception to engineer new ways to navigate the globe. Even cooler, he also takes hypotheses for how magnetoreception works in animals and uses computational simulations to digitally test them. Check out this episode to hear more about Brian's research and learn more about this little known sensory ability.
