News Bites are monthly episodes where Danielle and Jeff break down important topics surrounding the field of biomedical research (and some unrelated topics).
In this News Bite edition, Jeff and Danielle discuss:
- Monogamous prairie voles - Happy Valentine's day!
- How freezing hibernating frogs might one day save humanity
- A discussion about the FDA Modernization Act
- February is American Heart Awareness month, so of course we talk about new research to repair scar tissue in the heart
