Joining the podcast today is Peter Hore, a Professor of Chemistry at the University of Oxford. Peter researches a very peculiar topic: the navigational abilities of night migratory songbirds. In this episode, he educates us on how birds navigate using magnetic sensing – highlighting their innate biophysical mechanisms.

By listening in you can learn about:

1) What magnetoreception is, and how birds utilize it for navigation.
2) Peter’s research on photosynthetic energy.
3) The various senses that birds use to help them navigate their surroundings.
4) How birds are interacting with Earth’s magnetic field.

What makes the magnetic sensibilities of birds so astounding? Click play to find out!
