Immune System Quiz- Eileen Yakscoe
The Larrikin Podcast
In today's podcast, I quiz my sister 'Daniel Danielson' aka Eileen Yakscoe about things I learned from Phillip Dettmer's book. I recently read the best science book I've ever read: 'Immune' by Phillip Dettmer. Its explanations are based on first principles that open the door to thinking about the immune system in a new way. His passion for the subject started at a young age. Phillip was a fuck-up as a kid. He was pulled out of school in Germany, and placed in 'loser school.'

info_outlineThe intersection between botany and medicine ft. Dr. Aidan Kaye
Bark of the willow tree is turned into Aspirin. Bark of the Cinchona Tree is turned into Quinine- the anti-malarial drug you enjoy in your average gin and tonic. Tonic water is sugar mixed with cinchona bark. But British colonizers liked to get drunk while they medicated themselves from the parasites spread by the mosquitoes of India.
The main premise of the episode is that bugs eat plants and die BECAUSE they are small. But a certain arthropod used to be GIGANTIC. 400 million years ago, scorpions used to be three feet long. And like all scorpions, they glow under UV light. I for one welcome out glowing scorpion overlords. But our atmosphere needs A LOT more oxygen to bring them back. Plant a tree. Listen to our episode about planting trees to learn more.
Pour yourself a nice G&T and enjoy.
