Intro

On this week’s episode, Mookie shares with the world the story of Margaret Howell Lovatt, a female researcher who pushed the boundaries of love between humans and dolphins, while Erica tells a heart transplant that almost wasn’t.

Dolphin Love

When Margaret Howell Lovatt was a young dolphin researcher, she expected to learn about language acquisition of dolphins. But she learned a lot more than that! And if you ever meet her in person, maybe don’t shake her hand?

Helicopter Crashed Heart

A heart transplant almost wasn’t when a helicopter carrying a donor heart crashed on the landing pad of a California hospital. The heart made it out of the crashed helicopter but that wasn’t the end of it’s journey!
