<p><span> It never occurred to me that the human body and a coral reef have a lot in common--until I spoke to <a href="http://phage.sdsu.edu/" target="_blank">Forest Rohwer</a> for this podcast. Rohwer is a microbiologist at San Diego State University, and he studies how microbes make coral reefs ...
In this podcast, I talk to Susan Golden, the co-director of the Center for Chronobiology at the University of California at San Diego.
We talked about Golden's research into time--in particular, how living things know what time it is. While you may have heard of our own "body clock" that tracks the ...
