Are You Smarter than a Bird Grader?
Welcome back, normal friends! Have you ever wondered how scientists assess intelligence? Ever wondered what "intelligence" actually means? Join us in Season 2 for more reminders that science rarely has a single definitive answer for anything! Intelligence testing may only tell you how good an animal (or person) is at taking the test!
