Beyond the Lab

In this episode, we meet Dr. Elaine Fuchs, a Head of Lab at The Rockefeller University whose research explores how stem cells communicate, and how failures to communicate contribute to inflammation, aging, and cancer. Beyond the lab, we learn about Dr. Fuchs' previous jobs counting snails and driving mail trucks, her encounters with two presidents and a pope, and how being a scientist starts with being curious.
