Microfluid Devices, Sweet-Toothed Cockroaches, and Frog Disease

Having defeated the flu, Dr Shane is back with Dr Ray, Dr Stacey, Dr Jen and Dr Graci to learn that cockroaches are evolving to be less interested in sugar; mice are able to have their dopamine levels read through an implantable device; and dogs can detect covid with remarkable accuracy. Dr Jaclyn Pearson from the Hudson Institute of Medical Research joins the show to talk about the evolution of antimicrobial resistant bacteria; and Mikaeylah Davidson, PhD candidate with Melbourne Uni’s Faculty of Veterinary and Agriculture Sciences, explains her work with frogs and the deadliest wildlife disease every recorded: chytridiomycosis.
