Fatherhood With The Honorable Kevin Holmes

In today's podcast, I quiz my sister 'Daniel Danielson' aka Eileen Yakscoe about things I learned from Phillip Dettmer's book.

I recently read the best science book I've ever read: 'Immune' by Phillip Dettmer. Its explanations are based on first principles that open the door to thinking about the immune system in a new way. His passion for the subject started at a young age.

Phillip was a fuck-up as a kid. He was pulled out of school in Germany, and placed in 'loser school.' There, he found a teacher who was strict, but a great explainer of worldly phenomena. She had him hooked by her explanation of the butterfly effect (as any kid would be with a good enough teacher). After this experience, he entered adulthood with a love of science, and spent the last 10 years writing this book about the immune system.

My co-host, Eileen Yakscoe, studies Animal Science at the Delaware Valley University. Her understanding of animals sheds light on our immune system as well as other animals' bodily processes. She attributes her stories at the end of the episode from the teachings of Dr Shedlauskas.

Thanks for listening.

I said adenoviruses enter the cell's nucleus- this isn't true. My mistake. But time is short, so I just posted it anyway cause I like to hear Aidan's song and it doesn't make much sense without our conversation

you don't have to watch movies anymore, we'll definitely watch them and then tell you how they went. this episode was inspired by sarah black and ben flores

Our brains finished evolving 50,000 years ago and we are stuck this way.

Are we stuck in our ways?

Are we frozen in time, like my mistake in this episode of saying "menstruation" instead of "menopause?"

Jake is optimistic that we may be less stuck than we think.
