B cells, P waves and sound rage
Manage episode 421005998 series 3229525
How do you amplify an immune response, analyse an earthquake or explain your irrational rage at people’s mouth noise? This week Dr Shane, Dr Susi, Dr Ray and Dr Graci dive in and discuss the latest technology for direct air capture carbon management, printable and eco-friendly sensors that can be ‘imperceptive-ly printed’ for use as continuous health monitors, and misophonia: a new diagnosis of decreased tolerance to specific sounds (yes, 80% are linked to the mouth or nose). Dr Ali Dvorscek (School of Translational Medicine, Monash University) joins the show to speak about B cells: the clever cells that generate antibodies by recognising their target antigens. Plus, Adam Pascale (Chief Scientist at the Seismology Research Centre) explains why nowhere in the world is immune from the pressures of tectonic plates moving. It turns out Australia has loads of earthquakes, they’re just smaller than in some other parts of the world. Phew.
