Joy Reidenberg: Weird Whale

Joy Reidenberg

Joy Reidenberg, a fast-talking, energetic anatomist captivated the PopTech audience with her talk, “Why Whales are Weird.” 

With one amazing fact after the next (Whales evolved from deer-like creatures! Their spinal movement is more like galloping in the water! They don’t actually spout water! They have mustaches!), she took us through the story of evolution using whales as a model.

Joy explained that evolution is the process to mediate resilience and thus, survival.
