HIV and Pregnancy, Rare Earth Metals, and Mitochondrial Autism

Welcome to the Double X Science podcast for Friday, March 15, 2013 with hosts Adrienne Roehrich, chemistry editor, and Emily Willingham, editor-in-chief. We discuss the five posts of the week, with special emphasis on Laura Newman's post 'HIV+ doesn't mean you can't have children.' We also discuss the posts at Double X Science Jr, highlighting Rare Earth Metals. We wrap up with a brief discussion about a study using an African Sleeping Sickness medication to treat mitochondrial autism shown in a mice study.
