The Researchers Translating Whale Language

from Curiosity Weekly

Understanding animal communication has always seemed out of reach, but as technology advances, it might be more possible than ever before. Project CETI is an organization aimed at translating the language of sperm whales. This episode, Dr. Samantha Yammine is joined by Dr. David Gruber– the founder and CEO of Project CETI– to discuss how and why his team is translating whale conversations. Before that, Sam looks into the discovery of a new octopus species and later, she explores a new study that describes a new treatment for lowering cholesterol.   Link to Show Notes HERE  Follow Curiosity Weekly on your favorite podcast app to get smarter with Dr. Samantha Yammine — for free!
