Kate Yandell

Picture
Kate Yandell's life goal is to understand how the world works. If anyone can summarize her interests in a more focused way, please let her know. Her past pursuits include studying marine worms, making cheese, and comparing translations of Beowulf. She enjoys singing in choirs and frequently startles people with strange vocalizations while walking the streets of New York. She is excited to lend her (speaking) voice to the radio!

Cells, Zombie Insects, Laughter and Disgust

This week, the Doppler Effect has a true grab bag. We travel from a history of the word cell, to the world of zombie insects, to the reason we laugh, and then the reason we kvetch. Bonus, you get to meet four new producers:Kelly Slivka, Kate Yandell, Miriam Kramer and Jon Zrake.
