Termites, the Answer to Environmental Challenges?

Midday on WNYC | Sep 10, 2018

Author Lisa Margonelli discusses her book Underbug: An Obsessive Tale of Termites and Technology. Margonelli explains how termites collectively outweigh humans ten to one and consume $40 billion worth of valuable property each year, but how they can also teach us valuable lessons about power, technology, historical trauma, and the limits of human cognition.

Guest hosted by Duarte Geraldino.
