    66: What is a Species & What is UK Voting?
    Jul 18 2024
    It's a word we say all the time but... what IS a species? How has it been used in the past, and could the different answers all be right? And how does voting work in the UK? It starts with voting for knights, and could hopefully end in the future with something even better.Images we Talk About:Ella's Zoom MoustacheTimestamps:(00:00:00) Intro(00:04:23) What is a Species?(01:01:54) UK Voting(01:50:46) OutroSupport us with a Max Fun Membership!Join our Discord!We also learn about: Jenny Lec, the definition we know is wrong, has anyone taken my title On The Origin of Species?

Let's make learning fun!

I love this so much! Every episode features a science and miscellaneous topic. I find myself completely invested. There is a feel of chatting with your buddies. The science is accessible even if you don't have background knowledge. My degree is in a science field(geology) and the topics related to my degree are still enriching and offer insight. 5/5 give it a try.
