173 – A Moment-a for the Placenta (with Sonya Kouthouridis)

How many temporary organs can you name...? If the answer isn't "one," then you have plenty to learn from our special guest Sonya Kouthouridis, a graduate researcher from McMaster University working on placental stem cell research. We discuss the female reproductive system, placental mammals, stem cells, and of course, the miracle of birth. Later, take a quiz called "Trust Me, I'm *NOT* a Doctor!" . . . [Music: 1) Donna Lynne Champlin, Crazy Ex-Girlfriend, "The Miracle of Birth," 2018, written by Adam Schlesinger, Jack Dolgen, Rachel Bloom, Aline Brosh McKenna; 2) Frau Holle, “Ascending Souls,” 2017.
