On this podcast, we discuss current events in science, including recent outbreaks of polio in the Ukraine and Legionnaire’s disease in California and Illinois. We also cover recent research linking high-fat diets with a change in the gut microbiome and obesity-linked inflammation, as well as the role that leptin plays in the rewarding effects of exercise. Tune in to hear our discussion on the release of an open-access journal that will publish ideas as well as data and results, and other exciting research on influenza infection.
