Today's episode is a conversation I had with Dan Cortes  who is an Associate research scientist in the Pera Lab at The Jackson Laboratory. Dan is originally from Mexico City, and he holds both an MD and a PhD; his research is focused on genetics, and he has a particular interest in exploring strokes.

Dan was a 5 Minute Genius™ speaker for the 2023 Maine Science Festival; you can watch his talk on our YouTube Channel: https://youtu.be/77fDkYJTjHY

Our conversation was recorded in June 2023.
