Episode 24 begins as usual with the science round up and where we discuss a range of topics including babies learn fear from distressed moms, spider silk for stem cells, making sugars for stem cell differentiation, Stem Cells Inc in hot water, and Schizophrenic patients lose brain volume. We then bring on the show Dr. Marco Seandel from Weill Cornell Medical College to talk about his latest paper published in Stem Cell Reports, where they use sperm stem cells to uncover novel info about mutations in aged male sperm. We then rant about post-doctoral salaries. Enjoy!
