| Description: | Includes descriptive metadata provided by producer in MP3 file: "Snacks 4 the Brain! - Podcasts - Snacks 33 -- Randy Reiserer." Scott Merrick talks to Randall "Randy" Reiserer, a post-doctoral fellow at the Vanderbilt Medical Center who is an evolutionary biologist and biological behavioralist. He is investigating the behavior of mice in a search for a cure for Alzheimer's disease. Reiserer also presents interactive videoconferences for the Vanderbilt Center for Science Outreach. Among other topics, Merrick and Reiserer discuss a recent fossil find in the Canadian Arctic, Tiktaalik roseae, which looks like a cross between a fish and a tetradpod (four-legged animal) and appears to provide evidence about the moment when fishes ventured onto land. They also talk about the controversy over the teaching of evolution in schools. |
