The podcast explores interesting and unusual questions about our brain and experiences, such as the possibility of creating new senses for humans. The hosts also discuss the postponement of their live show due to Covid concerns.
Ants resemble bees in their social structure, and there are plenty of ant species where the workers can lay unfertilized male eggs to raise a generation of males that can mate with a queen that the workers produce. Ants get fed with a protein-rich diet, which makes them grow much larger than other ants.
Ants are magnificently good at digging tunnels and chambers that maintain and reinforce force chains underground, resulting in subterranean ant colonies that can hold up for decades.
The Argentinian ants have a super colony in Europe that runs along the coast for 3,700 miles, and when they need to reproduce, they grow wings and have mid-air sex. The worker ants control and raise the new generation of ants.
Leaf-cutter ants cultivate fungus and provide them with leaves to eat. In return, the fungus provides ants with food and antibiotics to prevent them from getting infected.
Ants use pheromones to communicate with each other, whether it's to signal danger or food. These scents are picked up through their antennas and help ants to work together as a cohesive unit.
The ants are shipped at a certain temperature, so they stay alive.
Join Rosie O'Donnell in her podcast as she explores the relationship between our brains and our experiences by tackling unusual questions like whether we can create new senses for humans.
