Kelley and Eryn try their hand at staying on topic discussing hand morphology: hand hugs, aye-ayes, octopus stuff (are you surprised?), new perspectives on old Trek, and accidental pickpocketing at the bank.

BREATHING: How could hologram lungs do anything?
1 RecommendationsKelley and Eryn get a snootful of some of the most salient aspects of breathing in Star Trek: cheating at sports, hints for healthful living, butt breathing, the most interesting man in the world, and the rapture of the sea.
Thanks again to Seán Ferrick and Seo Hurley (@CloneStarPod) and Jeff Akin (@SFLApodcast) for including us in the #TrekForUkraine fundraiser! The recording of our conversation is in part 2, available on CloneStar’s YouTube channel.

Next Episode
PARASITES: Is that actually supposed to be an eel?
1 RecommendationsKelley and Eryn try--and, trigger warning, fail--not to get too gross talking about parasites: zombie ants, why pregnant people can’t change the kitty litter, what is or is not an eel, LeVar Burton’s eyedrops, and the beginning of their debate over whether the Borg are symbionts or parasites. (It’s not over! Resistance is futile!)
Also, if you wish your job was more like a Starfleet commission, please do check out the Starfleet Leadership Academy podcast to learn how! Jeff has some wonderful insights for how anyone can apply the lessons of great Star Trek leaders into their own lives. We really appreciate his takes on how we can all do better.
Lots of Kelley’s info was sourced from this review paper about parasite mind control: https://www.frontiersin.org/articles/10.3389/fpsyg.2018.00572/full
