Ever poked at roadkill? Watched videos of whales exploding? Drooled over a curio cabinet full of claws & bones? Peered into a jar with a pickled toad? Then this one is for you. Whether you’ve heard it before or are new to this classic ep, you’re sure to be delighted by this Ologist’s storytelling. Arguably the world's most famous comparative anatomist (and pretty-much-also functional morphologist) Dr. Joy Reidenberg pulls up a chair at Mt. Sinai Hospital to talk about her fascinating backstory, exploding whales, taxidermied chipmunks, dead toadfish, animal's weird anatomy and its function and how it might help human health. She is absolutely amazing and you will become obsessed with her work.Dr. Joy Reidenberg on <a href="https://twitter.com/joyreidenberg" target="_blank">X</a> & <a href="https://www.facebook.com/ReidenbergTV/" target="_blank"> Facebook</a>Browse her publications on <a href="https://www.researchgate.net/profile/Joy-Reidenberg" target="_blank">ResearchGate</a><a href="https://www.alieward.com/ologies/functionalmorphologyencore">More episode sources & links</a><a href="https://alieward.com/smologies">Smologies (short, classroom-safe) episodes</a>Other episodes you may enjoy: <a href="https://www.alieward.com/ologies/evolutionary-biology">Evolutionary Biology (DARWINISM)</a>, <a href="https://www.alieward.com/ologies/veterinarybiology">Veterinary Biology (CRITTER FIXING)</a>, <a href="https://www.alieward.com/ologies/nassology">Nassology (TAXIDERMY)</a>, <a href="https://www.alieward.com/ologies/roadecology">Road Ecology (ROAD KILL)</a>, <a href="https://www.alieward.com/ologies/acousticecology">Acoustic Ecology (NATURE RECORDINGS)</a>, <a href="https://www.alieward.com/ologies/procyonology">Procyonology (RACCOONS)</a>, <a href="https://www.alieward.com/ologies/lemurology">Lemurology (LEMURS)</a>, <a href="https://www.alieward.com/ologies/delphinology">Delphinology (DOLPHINS)</a>, <a href="https://www.alieward.com/ologies/ichthyology">Ichthyology (FISHES)</a>, <a href="https://www.alieward.com/ologies/mammalogy">Mammalogy (MAMMALS)</a>, <a href="https://www.alieward.com/ologies/2017/11/7/ornithology-with-james-maley">Ornithology (BIRDS) </a><a href="https://alieward.com/ologies-sponsors">Sponsors of Ologies</a><a href="https://alieward.com/ologies-extras">Transcripts and bleeped episodes</a><a href="https://www.patreon.com/ologies" target="_blank">Become a patron of Ologies</a> for as little as a buck a month<a href="https://www.ologiesmerch.com/" target="_blank">OlogiesMerch.com</a> has hats, shirts, hoodies, totes!Follow @Ologies on <a href="https://www.instagram.com/ologies" target="_blank">Instagram</a> and <a href="https://twitter.com/ologies" target="_blank">X</a>Follow @AlieWard on <a href="https://www.instagram.com/alieward" target="_blank">Instagram</a> and <a href="https://www.twitter.com/alieward" target="_blank">X</a>Editing by Mercedes Maitland of <a href="http://maitlandaudio.com/" target="_blank">Maitland Audio Productions</a> and <a href="https://twitter.com/stevenRayMorris" target="_blank">Steven Ray Morris</a>Managing Director: Susan HaleScheduling producer: Noel DilworthTranscripts by Aveline Malek and The WordaryWebsite by <a href="https://www.kellyrdwyer.com/photo" target="_blank">Kelly R.
