Summary
"The Stephen Fry of Belgium", Lieven Scheire, joins Dan to talk about the weirdness of the insect world, why chickens have a vendetta against mice and how evolution is evolving.
Lieven Scheire is a Belgian comedian, physicist and science communicator on stage and on TV, in both Dutch and English. Lieven is the face and founder of âNerdlandâ, a popular brand in which he, alongside a group of geeky friends, brings science and technology closer to the broader public. He's also a prolific author, and has a new book called 'AI', a beginner's guide to the magic, possibilities and limitations of the Artificial Intelligence revolution.
