Welcome back to The Information Entropy Podcast! This week the boys finish their exploration of extinction, managing to stay much more on topic! The boys start by contemplating the Hantavirus outbreak in relation to previous circumstances before quickly recapping what classifies as extinction. They turn to the topic of conservation strategies and how they can help and how sometimes they might be misaligned. Mitch explores the leading causes of extinction while Tom reinforces the biological mechanisms at play within a declining population.
