  • So fun!

    I am a mid-career medical executive (psychiatry background). What a fun way to explore questions I never learned in medical school, and refresh my basic internal medicine knowledge at the same time. A course always feels like a “chore” — but this podcast is fresh and fun.

    Love the podcast music- it makes me smile and want to dance and be jolly 😊.. but I also love how you guys present information. I love that you admit you don’t know everything… and you all seem to have a great chemistry and are funny which makes learning that much more fun.

  • Great shows

    I love how you guys come up with answers on why we do do the things we do. So often there are things we do because that is what we were taught but we don’t understand the why. Like in this last episode on steroids and edema in the brain.

[Archive] Tusks and Tumor Suppressors
Q: Why haven't more species done this to prevent cancer, and should we be crispering TP53 into the genome of humans?
The answer is complex; while some big animals like whales have evolved similar mechanisms, knocking in TP53 can negatively affect fertility and organ size in models, suggesting there are trade-offs with gene editing.
