Dr Cat dives with Laura Geißler into the sea. They shed some light on life in the ocean: from sea creatures, to coral and their microbial allies, and the glow of bioluminescence in an episode that is both illuminating and mind-glowing. Laura investigates the diversity of microbes that live with corals in the hopes of understanding how to better support coral in a changing climate – is some form of kombucha or probiotics the answer?

This episode originally aired on 26th November, 2024.
