Ep. 91 Regeneration Part 2: Decapitating Sea Slugs

38 minutes

Last week we talked about hydra and planarians, which you can slice and dice into little bits and all the bits will regrow into new little jabronis! But they're pretty distant from us on the evolutionary tree, so how about we get a little closer! This week, we talk about sea slugs and zebrafish, two aquatic critters with pretty impressive regenerative abilities!
