Everyone's favorite alien scientists, Quinn and Micky, meet up with author Mary Ellen Hannibal to learn how regular humans can participate in science in a non-professional capacity. Ms. Hannibal is a treasure trove of information about citizen science, and has dedicated many years of her life to salving the rivalry between humans and nature. This conversation also explores the relationship of individuals to the whole, birth and death, and the role of theory and story in science.
