    • Science

We're working to bring you more episodes of Veritalk very soon. In the meantime, we've got an episode slithering around the podcast studio. Take a listen to our second episode about Monsters.

Some monsters live inside us. PhD candidate in Biological Sciences in Public Health Maddy McFarland studies Trypanosoma cruzi, a parasite that transforms its shape to sneak inside our cells and makes us sick. The scariest part: Our cells can’t signal that they’re infected until it’s too late.
