Russell Foster, Head of the Nuffield Laboratory of Ophthalmology, shares his research on how light regulates our lives as vertebrates.
Our eyes' exposure to light has a special relationship with our sleeping and waking patterns. While initially thought to be an internal master clock, this is no longer considered to be true.
Many factors can determine whether an individual is a night owl or an early bird. However, while everyone is unique, there are significant benefits to morning light exposure, and it can even help "reset" your circadian rhythm.

You've surely asked yourself the age-old question: what factors influence my weight? Well, there are many approaches to that question, and it's getting harder to distinguish between the accurate and false information available. Fortunately, there are scientists who are seeking answers by going back to basics and investigating inherent biological mechanisms within other animals.
Returning to the podcast is Dr. Richard J. Johnson, a professor of medicine at the University of Colorado, as well as a physician, researcher, and author. Dr. Johnson recently released a new book entitled "Nature Wants You To Be Fat". This publication is for people who are interested in the science behind why we gain weight – and how to prevent it.

As you age, you lose stem cells. Scientists have found that collecting younger samples of these cells can be effective for future medical treatment. Being your own stem cell donor can come with a plethora of benefits, and many researchers believe that you will thank yourself later for thinking ahead.
Joining us on this podcast is Steven Clausnitzer. Steven is the CEO and co-founder of Forever Labs, an adult stem cell banking and storage company. Forever Labs uses an outpatient procedure to harvest adult Mesenchymal stem cells for prospective medical treatments down the road.
In this episode, you will hear Steven address topics such as:

Andrew Rypel, an associate professor and Peter B. Moyle & California Trout Chair, shares his efforts to preserve the freshwater environments of California.
Many species rely on the unique environments offered in the California landscape. One of the most prominent wildlife groups is freshwater fish, which has faced conservation challenges for much of recent history.
With a booming population and agriculture industry, conservation efforts may not be as effective as many would like. However, with an improving understanding of these freshwater environments, population reduction may be slowed, and the unique groups of fish that rely on such bodies can continue to be protected.

The sensory and navigational abilities of migratory birds are a staggering phenomenon. As birds continue to complete successful voyages spanning thousands of miles, scientists have many questions about how they are able to do so with such accuracy and precision.
Dr. Henrik Mouritsen is a Visiting Professor in the Department of Chemistry as well as a permanent Full Professor at the Department of Biology and Environmental Sciences, University of Oldenburg, Germany. As an individual that has been particularly interested in birds from a young age, Dr. Mouritsen has been researching the behavior of these animals for years. In particular, he is curious about how they utilize the earth's magnetic field for navigation.

Orlin Velev and Nathan Crook of NC State University share their interdisciplinary work to begin offering solutions to the problem of microplastics and nanoparticles in the environment.
Microplastics in the ocean have been causing issues for the environment far beyond what we understood in recent history. However, a solution is challenging to find since the problem cannot only be approached from one discipline.
Through the combination of efforts from various fields, new solutions are being tested and implemented in multiple environments. However, the ocean presents a unique problem since so many factors play a role in the degradation of plastics.

Cassandra Leah Quave, an associate professor in the department of dermatology at Emery University, shares her quest for nature's next medicines.
Nature has offered treatments and medicines since ancient times. However, with increasingly resilient bacteria, viruses, and other conditions, new solutions need to be found.
These solutions may come in the form of new solutions found in nature for biofilm-related infections and highly drug-resistant conditions. The possible impact of anti-biofilm technology has tremendous potential, especially in quorum sensing and other stubborn conditions.

Elodie Passeport, an Associate Professor at the University of Toronto, shares her work attempting to understand microplastics and how to break chemical bonds to combat their effect better.
Microplastics are one of the most significant threats in the contamination of natural environments around the world. However, they are tricky to combat, so new solutions with a diminished impact on the treated environment are being developed.
By implementing passive water treatment practices, a solution to the problem can be found through natural means. This is crucial since treating the problem while avoiding impacting the environment being treated is the key to successfully saving it.
