Ep. 46 Science of Sick

Listen Later

What actually happens when you get infected with something? What are the steps your body goes through to protect you? Why do so many illnesses have "flu-like" symptoms? Find out this week as Sean and Nathan dive into the SCIENCE OF SICK(ness)!

We recorded this episode a while ago, so it does not make reference to current (US) events. We here at Petri Dish support protesters and the cause they represent -- an end to racial discrimination against Black people, an end to police brutality, and a restructuring of the USA to a more equitable and equal society. Black lives matter! Thank you everyone, for listening.

Featuring a promo for Jolly Green Scientists, an upcoming science podcast! Check out the hosts on twitter @SixLeggedAggie and @Planthropology_
