World of Grumpy Mutant Bony Crabs

Moiya is joined by lung scientist/cancer researcher Em Costa to imagine a world that is annoying, but not dangerous to its inhabitants. They end up creating a crabby species who need to be near each other, but complain about it all the time.  

HOSTED by Dr. Moiya McTier (@GoAstroMo), astrophysicist and folklorist
