Episode notes

There are ways you can scale that up, and lots of labs have. There's other experiments that we take videos of because we want to know nature of their motility. Or for example, if theire swimming and liquid, there's really nice wade where you take videos of them, and then you can analyze what's the shape of their behavior actually. So far a we have these. And hopeful we've all done some of the intellectual work together, right? Right? Often nd that selets the grad student in charge of that experiment, or the phost nock, or something like that.

Aging -- everybody does it, very few people actually do something about it. Coleen Murphy is an exception. In her laboratory at Princeton, she and her team study aging in the famous C. Elegans roundworm, with an eye to extending its lifespan as well as figuring out exactly what processes take place when we age. In this episode we contemplate what scientists have learned about aging, and the prospects for ameliorating its effects -- or curing it altogether? -- even in human beings. Coleen Murphy received her Ph.D. in biochemistry from Stanford University, and is currently Professor in the Department of Molecular Biology and the Lewis-Sigler Institute of Integrative Genomics at Princeton.
