The Science of Team Science with Dr. Jeni Cross
03/08/21 • 52 min
The best solutions to a problem are discovered when scientists from a variety of backgrounds work together, each one providing a perspective that the other doesn't have.
Dr. Jeni Cross, a community sociologist, teaches us about the science of team science: why humans work better in teams and how research benefits from a transdisciplinary approach. We learn how teams of people foster innovation, how they communicate effectively with each other, what their relationships are like, and basically, what makes for a good team.
Notes:
How can we improve the creativity and performance of research teams? Read this blog by Dr. Cross and Dr. Hannah Love.
Campus Connections is a mentoring program that pairs CSU students with local youth.

Healthy Muscle Aging with Dr. Karyn Hamilton
Dr. Karyn Hamilton, a Health and Exercise Science professor and Associate Director here at the Center, talks to us about musculoskeletal aging and the ways that muscles, bones, tendons and cartilage all change as we get older. We discuss how the hallmarks of aging play a role in muscle dysfunction and how lab methods are used to study cellular stress responses in the musculoskeletal system.

Hormonal Programming with Dr. Stuart Tobet
Dr. Stuart Tobet’s research has shown that there are cellular events that happen within sensitive periods of development, such as the prenatal stage or infancy, in which hormones have the potential to cause permanent changes in anatomy and physiology into adulthood. In this episode, we learn about the importance of environment in influencing our health, and that humans are the end product of a complex cascade of hormones, signals, genes, and more held inside of us.
