Longer Pregnancy & Genetics Changes; BioInk Printing Skin; Nuances in reading Studies; Coronavirus is Local...
Episode description
In this episode, I cover a broad range of topics from pregnancy length and its affect on children's genetics, as well as a new technology that makes printing skin a new therapy possible. Finally, I answer a question/concern a commenter had over why scientists waste their time with "obvious questions".
