In this episode, we sit down with Dr. Samuel Miller, Postdoctoral Research Associate and Senior Scientist at Oklahoma State University’s Elshahed Laboratory and Microbiomics and Culturomics Core Facility. A specialist in culturomics, Dr. Miller focuses on isolating and characterizing strict anaerobes and advancing microbial taxonomy and systematics. His current work zeroes in on gut-associated bacteria, using both cultivation-based and molecular approaches to investigate taxa that remain uncultivated in humans and other mammals.
Hit play to learn about:
-
The key differences between anaerobic and aerobic bacteria.
-
What happens to anaerobes when they are exposed to oxygen.
-
How bacteria can be useful for humans.
Ready to discover how Dr. Miller and the MCCF are advancing microbiome science and unlocking the mysteries of gut bacteria? Buckle in to dive inside the world of culturomics and anaerobes – where groundbreaking research is reshaping how we understand health, ecology, and the microbial universe….

Cardiac Cowboys
The heart was always off-limits to surgeons. Cutting into it spelled instant death for the patient. That is, until a ragtag group of doctors scattered across the Midwest and Texas decided to throw out the rule book. Working in makeshift laboratories and home garages, using medical devices made from scavenged machine parts and beer tubes, these men and women invented the field of open heart surgery. Odds are, someone you know is alive because of them. So why has history left them behind? Presented by Chris Pine, CARDIAC COWBOYS tells the gripping true story behind the birth of heart surgery, and the young, Greatest Generation doctors who made it happen. For years, they competed and feuded, racing to be the first, the best, and the most prolific. Some appeared on the cover of Time Magazine, operated on kings and advised presidents. Others ended up disgraced, penniless, and convicted of felonies. Together, they ignited a revolution in medicine, and changed the world.
