Texas Beach Ecology, with HMNS Malacology/Marine Invertebrate Curator Tina Petway & Asst. Mar Carranza

In this episode of the HMNS Beyond Bones Podcast, HMNS' "Mental Curator" Johnny Hemberger joins our Curator of Malacology and Marine Invertebrates, Tina Petway, and her protege, Malacology Collections Assistant, Mar Carranza, for an insightful on-location discussion about this fascinating ecological wonderland just minutes from Houston, Texas at the San Luis Pass.
