Mutant cells in the esophagus, and protecting farmers from dangerous pesticide exposure
As you age, your cells divide over and over again, leading to minute changes in their genomes. New research reveals that in the lining of the esophagus, mutant cells run rampant, fighting for dominance over normal cells. But they do this without causing any detectable damage or cancer. Host Sarah Crespi talks to Phil Jones, a professor of cancer development at the University of Cambridge in the United Kingdom, about what these genome changes can tell us about aging and cancer, and how some of the mutations might be good for you. Most Western farmers apply their pesticides using drones and machinery, but in less developed c...

Dean Burnett, author of "Happy Brain" (BS 149)
Dean Burnett (Click to play interview)
Dr. Dean Burnett from Cardiff Wales enjoys sharing neuroscience with his unique sense of humor. In his first book Idiot Brain: What Your Head Is Really Up, he debunked several myths about the power of the human brain. In his new book Happy Brain: Where Happiness Comes From, and Why Burnett takes us beyond oversimplifications, such as “dopamine causes happiness,” and explores the complex role that things like humor and fame play in our lives. This is an episode for listeners of all backgrounds.

Encore interview with Eve Marder (BS 148)
Eve Marder as drawn by B Marder
Last month (BS 147) I discussed Charlotte Nassim's wonderful biography of pioneering neuroscientist Dr Eve Marder, so this month I am sharing the interview I did with her back in 2009. I originally learned of Dr. Marder's work when I went to Neuroscience 2008, the annual meeting of the Society for Neuroscience. At that time Dr. Marder was serving as the president of SfN so we talk a bit about that during our conversation. We also talk about what it was like for her as a member of the first large cohort of women entering science. Everything in this interview ...

Eve Marder's Life in Neuroscience (BS147)
Charlotte Nassim's new book Lessons from the Lobster: Eve Marder's Work in Neuroscience describes the intellectual journey of one of neuroscientists true pioneers. Not only has Dr. Marder been part of the field since its early days, but she has consistently done paradigm shifting work. Although Nassim never mentions the Nobel Prize, I suspect that many readers will come away convinced that Marder deserves that award.In BS 147 I provide an overview of Marder's career based on Nassim's meticulous research. The emphasis is on Marder's key contributions including those related to neuromodulation, the dynamic clamp technique, a...
