Why A﹠P Faculty Need to Become Students | TAPP 117

Sure, we're all life-long learners. But taking an actual college course from time to time throughout our teaching career can have unexpected benefits. Olfactory adaptation helps a lot when visiting the zoo, of course, but how does it really work? Researchers have found some new answers. Did you know that cerebrospinal fluid affects the process of memory? It does and we'll find out how. 00:00 | Introduction 00:43 | Olfactory Adaptation 06:23 | Sponsored by AAA 07:06 | CSF and Cognitive Decline 10:57 | Sponsored by HAPI 11:47 | Enrolling as a Student in a Course 21:33 | Sponsored by HAPS 22:24 | Lessons from Being a Student 36:03 | Staying Connected ★ If you cannot see or activate the audio player, go to: theAPprofessor.org/podcast-episode-117.html 🏅 Apply for your credential (badge/certificate) for listening to this episode: theAPprofessor.org/podcast-episode-117.html/#badge ❓ Please take the anonymous survey: theAPprofessor.org/survey ☝️ Questions & Feedback: 1-833-LION-DEN (1-833-546-6336) ✔️ Follow The A&P Professor on Twitter, Facebook, Blogger, Revue, Tumblr, or Instagram! @theAPprofessor 📰 Get the thrice-weekly TAPP Science & Education Updates theAPprofessor.org/updates Education is not preparation for life; education is life itself. (John Dewey)   Olfactory Adaptation 6.5 minutes We know that olfactory adaptation reduces perception of an persistent odor so that we can monitor our environment for new odors. But how does it work? This segments reveals some of those mysteries. ★ Olfactory Neurons Adapt to the Surrounding Environment (brief article explaining the new research) AandP.info/nxt ★ Transcriptional adaptation of olfactory sensory neurons to GPCR identity and activity (research article in Nature Communications) AandP.info/unm   Sponsored by AAA 40 seconds A searchable transcript for this episode, as well as the captioned audiogram of this episode, are sponsored by the American Association for Anatomy (AAA) at anatomy.org.

As we age our CSF factors decline and put us at risk of memory loss. New research shows that restoring those factors can reverse memory decline.

A combination of science courses (enough to qualify you to teach at the college level) and courses in contemporary instructional practice, this program helps you be your best in both on-campus and remote teaching. Kevin Patton is a faculty member in this program at Northeast College of Health Sciences.

Being mindful of the student experience—intentionally avoiding a focus on using our "teacher lens" —can help immerse us in being a student for a change. Besides helping us avoid burnout, there are other benefits. ★ Burnout!
