Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Dr. Iswar Hariharan: Fruit Flies, Regeneration, and the Future of Medicine
Q: You mentioned that most genes in fruit flies end up stopping growth.
The focus has been on genes whose normal function is to arrest growth, because mutating these tends to reveal excess growth phenotypes, and this approach has helped map growth-control networks relevant to human biology and cancer.
Dr. Zackary Graham: Crayfish, Crawfish & Crawdads
Q: How did you get started researching crayfish?
I was a typical kid who liked catching animals and eventually found my passion through a biology class in college.
Dr. Zackary Graham: Crayfish, Crawfish & Crawdads
Q: How do you collect a crayfish that's 10 feet underground?
You can dig them out or use methods like plunging to stimulate them to come to the surface.
Dr. Zackary Graham: Crayfish, Crawfish & Crawdads
Q: Why study crawfish? Like, why are they so important?
They have an interesting evolutionary story to tell and are ecologically important as they play crucial roles in their environments.
Dr. Zackary Graham: Crayfish, Crawfish & Crawdads
Q: So what is the difference between a crayfish and a lobster?
Crayfish are all freshwater species, while clawed lobsters and reef lobsters are marine saltwater species.
