Description
Hello and welcome to the dawning of a new era!
It's officially 3rd year! It's Lexx Education - the more comedy than science comedy science podcast where comedian Laura Lexx tries to learn science from her patient yet despairing non-comedian brother Ron!
To celebrate the podcast turning 2 years old (without missing a single episode if we might be permitted to toot our own trumpets for a red hot minute) we invited friend of the podcast Bec Hill on to the show to discuss her favourite part of science... teeth!
Ron talks us through mammalian teeth and how mammals have the most specific and interesting teeth in evolution, while Laura sends us on a wild journey through some of the best and grossest teeth in the wider animal kingdom. We hope you love this very special episode celebrating all things daft about Lexx Education and teeth!
Hello and welcome to not just another episode of Lexx Education, but a special guest episode!
Today, we celebrate two years of Lexx Education with a fantastic guest, the brilliant Bec Hill! Join Laura, Ron, and Bec as they dive into the fascinating world of teeth. From the evolution of mammalian teeth to the bizarre and wonderful dental structures found in the animal kingdom, this episode is packed with intriguing facts and hilarious banter.
Laura shares some of the most peculiar teeth in the animal world, including the crab eater seal, dragonfish, sheepshead fish, and the parrotfish. Meanwhile, Ron provides insight into the unique dentition of mammals and the evolutionary history of teeth.
Bec Hill, an avid teeth enthusiast, brings her own quirky perspective and shares her experiences with dental work and her passion for collecting teeth. The trio also discuss the lamprey eel, sea urchins, the cookie-cutter shark, and the extinct helicoprion, among others.
It's an episode filled with laughter, learning, and a deep appreciation for the wonders of nature's dental designs. So, sit back, relax, and enjoy this special anniversary edition of Lexx Education!
