Cockroaches are not well liked. They have become symbols of dillapidation and decay. In this episode, we will see what we can learn about cockroaches, when we give ourselves permission to be fascinated by them. Tom speaks with Professor Dominic Evangelista, a cockroach expert to learn more about these (perhaps) misunderstood creatures. In this episode, we also speak about EntoPOC, a fantastic initiative which Dominic is a part of, striving to provide people of colour with access to scientific societies, going some way to redressing inequalities that exist within the scientific community.
