What Happens When You Donate Your Body to Science
Notes de l’épisode
Halloween is almost here! And we are leaning in. This episode, host Dr. Samantha Yammine goes all in on fear, death, and rebirth to celebrate spooky season. First, she looks into a new study that sheds light on how our brains interpret threats that lead to a fear response.
Then, she speaks with the co-founder of the Institute of Human Anatomy, Jonathan Bennion. They talk about what we can learn from bodies that have been donated to science and what it’s like to run a private cadaver lab. And finally, Sam explores research on an animal that doesn’t just regenerate itself, it ages backwards while doing so.
