Fruit flies love the metaverse

Science is Fun is finally back after a long hiatus. Where have we been? I’ve been doing science now that the pandemic slow-down has lifted. So much science to do, so little time!

I’ve got an exciting line-up for the next few weeks - a mini-season of shows. I hope you enjoy it and stay subscribed to the show for when our next full season launches.

This week I welcome Dr. Yvette Fisher to the show. Yvette is a neuroscientist at the University of California, Berkeley. She does wild experiments, including putting fruit flies into virtual reality simulations to study how their brains work. I hope you’ll enjoy our chat as much as I did!
