Hey! New episode (and coronavirus free!) on the adaptive immune system! These are the cells that pump out antibodies, coordinate immune responses, and have memory so you can fight off diseases faster the second time around. Also featured is a note on immune system complexity, complex networks, and emergent properties!
Trigger warning -- we mention the word 'suicide' in the context of cells telling other cells to undergo programmed cell death! If that doesn't sound like your cup of tea, please check out some of our other episodes! Stay safe out there everyone!
Featuring a promo for @ContrivancePod (Previously known as Snark Tank Pod). Check them out on twitter or at contrivancepod.com.
