Episode 30: Fayth Tan on Regeneration and Queer Identity

For our first Pride Month episode, we're joined by biologist Fayth Tan, whose work focuses on regeneration. We talk about what the heck regeneration really is, why we see it in some organisms and not others, the lies told to us by pop culture, and our most beautiful "is it gay if it's in space?" yet. 

Follow Fayth on Twitter @faythtan or check out their lab at Caltech, the Goentoro Lab.
