Does A Butterfly Remember Being A Caterpillar?

We’ve a very special episode coming up next week in which we’ll be answering your sometimes ingenious, more often than not bizarre, questions. We’ve had a huge response to this and the fact of the matter is that we just couldn’t fit all of the questions into next week’s show. One of the questions we couldn’t fit in was actually one of our favourites. There was just too much in it to only spend a few minutes at it so we’ve decided to do a full feature interview on it this week. And so Professor of Biology from Georgetown University; Martha Weiss joined us to answer the question “Does a butterfly remember being a caterpillar?"
