    Flights not Feelings: Exocytosis and Breast cancer

    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.  https://www.scientistswholift.com

    Birds & the Bees

    On this episode (@hood_naturalist) and I talk about biodiversity, birds and bars from her hit single ‘Count’.  I learn a lot about bird ecology and migration, some of the factors that negatively impacting wild life (spoiler alert: humans ruin stuff), and the things we can do to try to minimize our impact on the planet, how birds prepare their summer bodies, our fellow animal inhabitants and the environment.  I also get the answer to the question we’ve all been asking ourselves “WHY THE HELL DO MOSQUITOES EVEN EXIST, THEY DO NO GOOD?”, “Why geese are mean when we see them?” and if zoos are just animal prisons (spoiler: they’re not anymore, they do good work)   Here are some ways you too can support conservation efforts:    Also turns out your views from the tall apartment building may be killing birds: learn more (https://www.allaboutbirds.org/why-birds-hit-windows-and-how-you-can-help-prevent-it/)   The Greening youth foundation:  (gyfoundation.org)   National Audubon Society  (Action.audubon.org)
