Episode 3: Dr. Elaine Fuchs

In this episode, we meet Dr. Elaine Fuchs, a Head of Lab at The Rockefeller University whose research explores how stem cells communicate, and how failures to communicate contribute to inflammation, aging, and cancer. Beyond the lab, we learn about Dr. Fuchs' previous jobs counting snails and driving mail trucks, her encounters with two presidents and a pope, and how being a scientist starts with being curious.

Beyond the Lab is produced by RockEDU Science Outreach and was recorded during the 2024 Summer Science Research Program (SSRP). To learn more, visit rockefeller.edu/outreach.
