Queerly Natural Ilana & Sage

- Ciência
Queerly Natural is a science-based exploration into the diversity of sexuality, sex, and gender in the natural world. Join three young biologists as they chat about the huge array of LGBTQIA+ diversity among animals, plants, fungi and more. People may tell you that being queer is unnatural, but we’re here to show you that it queerly is. Join us each month as we make tons of terrible puns and generally have a nerdy good time. Check out our website or Patreon for more details.
