I am pleased to welcome back the most enthusiastic guest I've had, Barrett Klein, along with first time guest, Lyric Bartholomay. We discuss genetically modified flies, what could cause some people to be more attractive to mosquitoes and other buggers, and why you should save bugs from your shower drain!
Entomologist, Barrett Klein is an Associate Professor of Biology at the University of Wisconsin - La Crosse.
Lyric Bartholomay is a vector biologist from the University of Wisconsin–Madison.

Stand-up comedian, adventurer and science enthusiast Shane Mauss has been interviewing scientists each week since 2014.
Originally from La Crosse, Wisconsin this former factory worker skipped college to become a comedian. His stand up has been on Comedy Central, Conan, Kimmel, Showtime, and Epix https://bit.ly/shaneTV . In the age of podcasting, more people might be familiar with him as a guest on Trussell, Holmes, Kreischer, Vaughn, Maron, or Rogan https://bit.ly/shaneguest.

Compelled to talk about bigger ideas, he now travels to universities around the world (when there isn't a pandemic) to interview researchers on a journey to learn what makes us who we are...as well as a bunch of other random stuff you never imagined you would care about.
Favorite topics include: psychology, biology, evolution, cognitive biases, behavioral economics, mating, animal behavior, neuroscience, entheogens and consciousness.
