Send us a text

Get ready to unlock the secrets of muscle aging and discover how it can be reversed in our latest episode! Join me, your host, as I dive into a fascinating study centered around the enzyme 15 hydroxyprostaglandin dehydrogenase (15 PGDH or Gerozine) and its role in muscle regeneration. Learn how blocking this enzyme restored muscle mass in aging mice, and what implications this breakthrough could have for human muscle aging.
We also look at the science of having dogs in the classroom!
But that's not all - we also have two amazing guests, scientists Dr. Bayer and Juniper, who will take us on a journey through their unique areas of study in marine biology, ecology, and mathematics. Plus, we'll explore their self-published book on disabilities in STEM and how storytelling can foster community support. Don't miss this episode packed with scientific discoveries, personal stories, and a few surprises along the way!
