Professor Carl Spandler joins WONDER podcast to walk us through the lightest metal of all - lithium! We dive head first into Carl's world of critical minerals, from crystals the size of cars to manipulated markets and the 'science fights' behind the genesis of lithium ore deposits. Enjoy with us these explorations of the geological cycle of metal on Earth... soon enough these stories will take WONDER deep into space and the beginning of time itself...

Carl joins us from the ⁠⁠⁠ARC Critical Resources for the Future⁠⁠, who made this episode of Wonder possible!
