Explore the hidden world of nematodes. These tiny—less than one millimeter long—organisms are everywhere in the soil, some as plant parasites, others as pest predators. With 57 billion nematodes in the soil for each human standing on it, turns out their importance in genetic research and biomedicine is immense.

Join us as we delve into this fascinating field and tap into the excitement and humor of nematologists on the cutting edge of discovery.

Guests:
