Ep. 31 - Tricia, Suzanne, and Ang

Dr. Tricia Serio (Biochemistry and Molecular Biology at UMass Amherst) and Dr. Suzanne Sindi (Applied Mathematics at UC Merced) explain their collaborative research into prion diseases using lab experiments with yeast colonies and mathematical simulations. They explain how prion diseases form and are transmitted, why they are incurable, and how their work aims to tackle that problem. They also talk about their unique collaboration as a biologist and mathematician and how these two fields have come together in recent decades. Comedian and teacher Ang Buxton joins as co-host.
