First, a moment of silence for George Floyd and all the other Black lives lost to police brutality, racial injustice, and white supremacy. We need to stay angry, make change, and vote for people who will hold these murderers accountable. It is important that we do not forget.

Better Than Human stands in solidarity with the Black community and the protesters who are challenging systemic racism and inequality. If you are as outraged by racism as we are, but not sure how to help, these are some good places to donate to:

Then onto Turritopsis dohrnii, the Immortal Jellyfish. Is it really immortal? Depends on your definition of immortal. Jennifer and Amber argue their definitions, and just like the ketchup on eggs argument, cannot agree. Most jellyfish species have a fixed life-span, which varies by species from hours to months. Turritopsis dohrnii is the only jellyfish known to have developed the ability to return to its infant from, and then start it's life over again indefinitely through transdifferentiation.  Listen and learn about this interesting species, and it's implications for science. 

Note: Jellyfish ARE animals (says Jennifer), and the movie talked about near the end of the episode is "In Time."
