The Denver Museum of Nature and Science recently made an exciting announcement: A new species of cave-dwelling in the foothills outside Boulder. Researchers named it 鈥� a nod to the city of Boulder 鈥� and say the only place on the planet where you鈥檒l find it is in just two caves near the Boulder Flatirons.
We reached out to David Steinmann, the research associate with the Museum of Nature and Science who found the new species. We thought he鈥檇 want to talk about his once-in-a-lifetime discovery. Instead, he told us that for him, it wasn鈥檛 a once-in-a-lifetime event at all. In fact, he kind of specializes in hunting for new species, and thinks he鈥檚 found at least fifty of them. He attributes that to his family's lifelong love of exploring caves to search for tiny creatures.
Steinmann joined host Erin O鈥橳oole to talk about his unusual work... and what exactly a pseudoscorpion is.
