What do a glowing forest discovery, a metallic blue spider on the edge of extinction, and a bacterium quietly reshaping disease prevention all have in common? They are all on today's episode. Nathan takes you through six stories spanning conservation, cutting-edge biomimicry, and some genuinely surprising science, including a tree that figured out how to fight back against insects without ever throwing a single punch. If you think you know what the arthropod world has to offer, this episode might change your mind.
