Ep. 46 Science of Sick
06/01/20 • 46 min
What actually happens when you get infected with something? What are the steps your body goes through to protect you? Why do so many illnesses have "flu-like" symptoms? Find out this week as Sean and Nathan dive into the SCIENCE OF SICK(ness)!
We recorded this episode a while ago, so it does not make reference to current (US) events. We here at Petri Dish support protesters and the cause they represent -- an end to racial discrimination against Black people, an end to police brutality, and a restructuring of the USA to a more equitable and equal society. Black lives matter! Thank you everyone, for listening.
Featuring a promo for Jolly Green Scientists, an upcoming science podcast! Check out the hosts on twitter @SixLeggedAggie and @Planthropology_
