Did you know that the tongue can smell? Kevin gives an update on new research.

You ever see me in my classic, reliable, sporty (really old) gray sport coat at a HAPS conference? If not, then maybe you haven't seen me at a HAPS conference within the last 20 or so years. Or any conference, for that matter. Having nearly lost it after the 2019 HAPS conference, I use my bad experience with a dry cleaner to more fully realize the importance of good customer-service skills when dealing with students.

The Human Anatomy & Physiology Society (HAPS) is a sponsor of this podcast. You can help appreciate their support by clicking the link below and checking out the many resources and benefits found there. There are a bunch of 1-day regional workshops scattered all over the continent. There's probably one near you coming up this year (or next)!

The current flurry of cellular and molecular research on brains is largely carried out in mice, with the assumption that it will inform us about human brains. Is that valid? How far does it go? Kevin cites a recent report that furthers our understanding of this comparison.

Yeah, another update on making new neurons in adult brains. This time, we find some evidence that "rogue" T cells may attack stem cells in the brain, specifically in the subventricular zone (SVZ), thus slowing the rate of making new neurons.

While participating in a gigantic conference for podcasters, Kevin learned some things about the need for transparency. In this segment, he cites some principles of being up front about financial relationships. Then he explains the story behind the financial relationships in this podcast.
Okay, a buck or two goes to funding this podcast. But don't you
really NEED some hip-logo gear from The A&P Professor? Be
stylish for the new academic season with your own hip mug for
A&P professors! Or a shirt! Or all kinds of swag. my-ap.us/2lnFsGd

The Master of Science in Human Anatomy & Physiology Instruction—the MS-HAPI—is a graduate program for A&P teachers. 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 power up your teaching. Kevin Patton is a faculty member in this program. Check it out!

Yeah, nearly everything I learn—about anything, really—I find a way to apply it to my teaching. In a previous segment, I explained some things I learned about transparency in podcasting. In this segment, I apply those principles to my teaching.
