After nourishment, shelter, and companionship, stories are the thing we need most in the world. (Philip Pullman)

1 | Measles and Immune Amnesia

8.5 minutes
Measles (MV) is very contagious and can be deadly, even though some cases are mild to moderate. However, it can also "erase" some or all of our immune memory!
  • Measles and Immune Amnesia (article from American Society for Microbiology) my-ap.us/2F0Chew
  • Watch: The tricks that make measles so infectious (video you can use in your class) my-ap.us/2EWugar
  • Notes
    • In this segment, the necessary step of memory cells producing effector cells (that engage pathogens) in subsequent exposures to the "remembered" pathogen is glossed over for simplicity of discussion.
    • Presumably, the "live" attenuated MV used in vaccination triggers formation of memory cells against MV without causing the full-blown infection that impairs immune memory of other pathogens.

3 | Bone Growth Update

4 minutes
How we understand growth of a long bone at the epiphyseal plate may be changing a bit. Check out the audio and the links below to find out more.
  • New mechanism of bone growth discovered (summary article) my-ap.us/2EYEdEc
  • A radical switch in clonality reveals a stem cell niche in the epiphyseal growth plate. (journal article in Nature) my-ap.us/2F2cwKy

5 | The Wallenda Model of Homeostasis

26 minutes
Multiple models of homeostasis may be needed for students to fully understand the important core concept of homeostasis. Here, Kevin describes an analogy he uses—a person on a highwire. Listen to why he calls this model The Wallenda Model and find out how he uses it to better understand homeostasis.
    • The Wallendas are a family of highwire artists famous for very high/long "sky walks" and human pyramids on the wire
      • Karl Wallenda, the most famous of the clan, died from a fall off the wire during a sky walk
      • The famous 7-person pyramid was also marred by a tragic fall
    • Elements of The Wallenda Model
      • Variable: position of body
      • Set point: directly over the wire
      • Sensors: nerve receptors (eyes, inner ears, muscle stretch receptors, etc.)
      • Integrator: brain
      • Effectors: skeletal muscles
    • Where to send students:

A few years ago, the city council of Monza, Italy, barred pet owners from keeping goldfish in curved bowls... saying that it is cruel to keep a fish in a bowl with curved sides because, gazing out, the fish would have a distorted view of reality. But how do we know we have the true, undistorted picture of reality? (Stephen Hawking)

1 | Poll Results: Addressing Professors

10.5 minutes

 

How Our Students Address Us | Semi-Identical Twins | Papers & Feedback | Episode 44 discussed how we prefer our students to address us. Do we prefer first names? Last names? Professor? Doctor?
Here are the results of our brief Twitter poll (twitter.com/theAPprofessor/status/1129902305262874625)

7 | Fishbowl Model of Homeostasis

12.5 minute
Multiple models of homeostasis may be needed for students to fully understand the important core concept of homeostasis. Kevin uses the typical thermostat model (feedback loop or engineered control system) along with several other models. Here, he describes the fishbowl model of homeostasis.

  • Optional equipment for demonstration/storytelling
  • A physiologist's view of homeostasis (article in Advances in Physiological Education related to the HAPS workshop I mentioned, this paper proposes a particular way to represent homeostasis in a diagram) my-ap.us/2HSJL5b
  • BONUS: The TAPP APP has a sample handout you can use with your students (app only)
