A chef for a fly
Update: 2025-08-01
Description
“Bloomington is known in the science world--if you say Bloomington, people think fruit flies.”
This week on our show, we tap into the Earth Eats archive, for one of my very favorite stories. It’s about our visit to the kitchen of a science building on the campus of Indiana University, where they prepare food for a tiny organism that supports genetic research around the globe. This one is from 2020, so you’ll hear some mention of the global pandemic. This is a strange one–but fascinating.
