Collagen with Emma McCarthy

from Handmade

Anna Ploszajski talks to doctoral researcher Emma McCarthy about the material central to her research, collagen. We talk about how it can be used to make 3D scaffolds to grow new organs and skin, and where it sometimes comes from (rat tails, gross!). Anna briefly gets sidetracked talking about jellyfish, and then it’s back on track to debunk myths surrounding collagen’s use in diet and beauty products. Follow Emma on Twitter at @Emma_McCarthy4.
