I know we can’t travel right now but we discuss how vesicles can travel inside the cell and outside the cell and catch flight not feelings and what vesicular transport can teach us about breast cancer, and some insight on what metastasizing cancer cells look for when they travel to new niche environments and what your iPhone4 v iPhone11 have in common with a super resolution microscope. We also commiserate over wild questions in a candidacy exam.

On this episode I talk to three of the people behind #BlackBirdersWeek Alexi (@Alhendiify), Rhi (@rhiannon_kirton) and Juita @juitamartinez about their respective faves and we celebrate Black naturalists and all the forms they come in. So if you think a person that has touched a grizzly bear is kick ass, or someone with 100+ bats is awesome or someone that loves Dinosaur Floofs (or as I like to call them Flying Muppets) is incredible these are three for you. M     aybe you wanted to know why your cat goes crazy at 3a for no reason or you enjoy slandering white tail deer and nutria this is the episode for you.

On this episode we (@Tasia1409 and I) talk about my love for gin, stem cell research and how they’ve revolutionized our understanding of disease and organs,  neurodegenerative diseases organoids which are mini organs and I get an opportunity to slander toddlers who are poorly coordinated and steal snacks. We also discuss what it is like being a Black scientist in the EU and her experiences as a graduate student as well as her joint initiative ViSTEM_Africa to increase visibility of African scientists”

On this episode I talk to Amanda, a recently minted PhD grad, who studies glaucoma. We learn about the anatomy of the eye, how glaucoma works, the different types of glaucoma, some risks factors for glaucoma and the symptoms of glaucoma. We also get in the weeds of her work on understanding one of the mechanisms of glaucoma. We talk about the NSF REU congrats to the recent NSF GRFP winners!

On this episode I talk to @Afro_Herper about her field work, #FindThatLizard and some tips on how to win, why crocodiles aren’t just giant lizards and I am amazed by legless lizards not being just snakes. We also talk about how lizards communicate and their communities and how they use dropping it like it’s hot to evade predators.
