This episode unpacks the fascinating world of protists, from the bioluminescent dinoflagellates in marine ecosystems to disease-causing excavates like Giardia. You'll discover their ecological impact, including carbon fixation by phytoplankton and limestone-creating foraminiferans, alongside their evolutionary importance across 1.4 billion years of Earth's history.
