Can Fish Sing? Find Out at Duke on iTunes U

The Nicholas School of the Environment and Earth Sciences at Duke University provides succinct and thorough 60-Minutes-like environmental news features on iTunes U and has its own website at Earthfile.org.

Produced and reported by Ann Kellan, an Emmy-nominated news anchor, the reports provide professional insight into eclectic topics that are under-reported in mainstream news media, making Earthfile The Daily Galaxy’s Hot iTunes U pick. Today’s topic: Singing Fish.

Kellan interviews Andrew J. Reid, the Rachel Carson Associate Professor of Marine Conservation Biology and Director of Graduate Studies at Duke University’s Marine Science and Conservation program. Professor Reid gives an educational and informative explanation of the topic and provides its implications in a quick 1 minute and 38 second conversation.

So, can fish sing?  “You bet they can, and many are as vocal as songbirds,” begins Kellan.
