Last month, I told a story for the podcast Story Collider about visiting an ancient city in central Turkey. It’s about the mystery of why people living 9,000 years ago buried their dead underneath their beds — and the mystery of my father’s recent death. If you’ve got a spare 10 minutes, give it a listen.

If you liked this, you should listen to more Story Collider podcasts! Each episode features a personal story about science.
