NOTE THAT EVENT IS ON THURSDAY

Join Dr Ewan St John Smith where he will take you into the world of the unusual physiology of the naked mole-rat, an animal that is cold-blooded, lives for 30+ years, is resistant to cancer and is also eusocial! By identifying molecules and circuits that underlie aspects of their “odd” physiology, results from such work will lead to a greater understanding of how “normal” physiology works in other mammals including humans.

Cambridge Cafe Scientifique events aim to provide a relaxed opportunity to discuss the science that is changing our lives, with the scientists themselves. A short informal talk is given by a scientist who is an expert on the topic to give background and to set the scene, and this is followed by questions and discussion. Cambridge Cafe Scientifique is sponsored by the Medical Research Council. Talks are free and refreshments are provided.

This talk is part of the Cambridge Café Scientifique series.
