crisscrossing Science Episode 052: It\u27s Still Good to Be the Queen

In episode 012 of crisscrossing Science, Chris Gaiser (professor of biology at Linfield College) and Mike Crosser (professor of physics at Linfield College) invited Chad Tillberg (professor of biology at Linfield College) into the studio to discuss eusocial animals: bees, ants, wasps, and naked mole-rats. Each of these animal groups lives in a nest and has distinct classes of individuals, from workers to queens. Because Tillberg will be joining the crisscrossing Science team as a new co-host while Chris Gaiser is on sabbatical, Crosser recorded a new introduction so listeners can revisit the start of it all.
