Episode description as stored
To most people, the rat is vile and villainous. But not to everyone! We hear from a scientist who befriended rats and another who worked with them in the lab — and from the animator who made one the hero of a Pixar blockbuster. (Part three of a  three-part series , “Sympathy for the Rat.”)   SOURCES: Bethany Brookshire , author of Pests: How Humans Create Animal Villains Jan Pinkava, creator and co-writer of "Ratatouille," and director of the Animation Institute at the Film Academy Baden-Württemberg. Julia Zichello, evolutionary biologist at Hunter College.   RESOURCES: " Weekend Column: Rat’s End, or, How a Rat Dies, " by Julia Zichello (West Side Rag, 2024).
