It is what we think we know already that often prevents us from learning. (Claude Bernard)
Timing of Vaccinations
2 minutes
With a new flu season upon us, vaccination is a timely topic. Recent research suggests that the time of day at which we receive our vaccination may influence it's effectiveness. At midday, CD8 T cells may respond more strongly than at other times of day.

Neurons That Erase Memory
5.5 minutes
New evidence suggests that there is a population of neurons that actively erase old, unimportant memories during REM sleep. Hopefully, your memories of past episodes of this podcast will be preserved (as well as the date of my birthday).

Vaping
5 minutes
Vaping is a timely topic, considering the emergence of vaping-induced lung injury and other vaping-related conditions. Discussing the news about vaping, which is frequently updated, is appropriate in the A&P course. Following the story over the course of a year may helps students better understand human science.
