    Studying plasma and why it matters in physics

    Plasma scientists investigate ionized gases and how they interact with various materials. University of Arizona mathematics professor Lise-Marie Imbert-Gerard is studying how waves of energy travel through plasma. The findings could help scientists improve nuclear fusion technology.Lise-Marie Imbert-Gerard spoke with Leslie Tolbert, Ph. D Regents professor emerita in Neuroscience at the University of Arizona.

    How the science of aging fits into preventing disease

    Many causes of death share the same common factor, the onset of advancing age. University of Arizona biologist George Sutphin describes how our understanding of aging could transform medicine in the future. He will be the first speaker in this year's College of Science free lecture series at Centennial Hall. George Sutphin spoke with Tim Swindle, professor emeritus in Planetary Science at the University of Arizona.

    The importance of gut health

    We often hear about feelings that come from our gut. Researchers led by University of Arizona physiologist Maya Kaelberer are working to understand how our gut and brain communicate. Their studies could lead to new strategies for addressing diet-related diseases and more. Maya Kaelberer spoke to Leslie Tolbert, Ph. D Regent's professor emerita in Neuroscience at the University of Arizona.

    Selling the importance of climate science

    The Trump administration is moving to dismantle some of the world's leading climate and weather research institutions. It's the latest result in the politicization of climate science. University of Arizona Environmental Science professor Kathy Jacobs explains how explaining climate science has turned increasingly difficult over the past several years. Kathy Jacobs spoke with Leslie Tolbert, Ph. D. Regent's professor in Neuroscience at the University of Arizona.
