from Frivolous Science · host Frivolous Science
Dr. William Ja uses fruit flies to study food comas. Do flies get sleepy after eating? Do we? Why is that even worth knowing? And what do flies and Lamborghini's have in common? Dr. Ja discusses his research, the unknown purpose of food comas, and how what we eat might affect our sleep (and vice versa)!Creator & Host: Houda KhaledMusic by Blue Dot Sessions (www.sessions.blue)Link to paper: https://elifesciences.org/articles/19334Full transcript at: https://frivolousscience.substack.com/
