Ep. 17 - Emily, Meg, and Laura - 6/5/18

Lab Talk with Laura

On this episode we chat with recent graduate Emily Agnello and Dr. Meg Stratton of the Stratton Lab in the Biochemistry Dept. at UMass. They study a protein in the brain, CaMKII, that is critical for memory. While scientists know that CaMKII affects memory, they don't yet know exactly how or why... and that's what the Stratton Lab wants to figure out. Comedian Laura Patrick, founding member of the improv troupe The Ha Ha's joins as co-host.
