University of California - Berkeley
July 1, 2014 (Hosted by Ben Cohn, Austin Chou, and Kirsten Sanford (Dr. Kiki))
Ever wonder how male spiders communicate their love songs? How they sing and dance? This is the last episode in our three-part series from Sound Off, our live show on the science of sound. Dr. Kiki from This Week in Science interviews Erin Brandt (Elias lab at UC Berkeley) about her research on the vibratory communication of jumping spiders.
Make sure to check out this article about Erin Brandt’s work, written by our friends over at the Berkeley Science Review (video included!)
