Welcome back for another episode. We start off looking at the papers published over the past few weeks. We discuss everything from stem cells for ALS, pluripotency viruses, and what the brain looks like during an orgasm. We then bring on Dr. Raja Kittappa, a stem cell scientist who has recently decided to leave science and run for congress. Finally Raj and Yosif tell some funny stories about their time spent in Europe. To find out more information on how you can help Raj get to congress and fight for the scientists, visit his website: http://www.rajforcongress2014.com/ Enjoy!
