Description
Dr Shane is joined in the studio by Dr Ray, Dr Linden and Dr Susi, who share some science news about microsleep in penguins, the resilience of redwood trees after bushfires and dolphins detecting electric signals to hunt prey. They are joined in the studio by Dr Susan Christo, a Postdoc in Dr Laura’s lab at the Doherty Institute, talking about their recent publication in the journal Science. Their research looks at T cells in the skin and how they can distinguish between problematic T cells that can cause autoimmune disease and protective T cells, which we need for our immune system. Finally, Dr Susi shines some light on the amazing properties of bats and how their long lifespan and adapted immune system could hold the solution to a lot of viral disease humans face.
