Did larger brains help modern-day birds avoid mass extinction? Hear from evolutionary biology experts Julia Clarke and Chris Torres and ask them your questions. --- Because of the pandemic, our show is currently pre-recorded, so the #SciFri​​ team have not able to take our audience's calls. We miss having listeners' voices on our radio program. We still want to hear from folks on our VoxPop app, but we're also experimenting with something new—we’re inviting our listeners to join us live for select recordings for #ScienceFriday​​ on the radio! The event was recorded on Tuesday, August 24, 2021. The segment airs on the radio and our podcast on Friday, August 27, 2021. If you'd like to join future live Zoom call-ins to get your questions on the air with us, sign up for updates at https://www.sciencefriday.com/articles/join-live-recording-online/.
