Fascinating LIVESTREAM TONIGHT!
Doctors by Nature: How Ants, Apes and Other Animals Heal Themselves -- and what we can learn from them.
Jaap de Roode, Samuel Candler Dobbs Professor of Biology at Emory University, joins Maryn McKenna for the FINAL EPISODE of the Health Storytelling LIVE Author Q&A Spring 2025 Season to speak about his fascinating new book, Doctors by Nature: How Ants, Apes and Other Animals Heal Themselves and his belief that animals possess medicinal knowledge that we can use to improve our own health. De Roode runs a research lab, and teaches courses on biology, evolution, and infectious diseases. He is also the director of the Infectious Diseases Across Scales Training Program, which trains graduate students in the study and control of infectious disease. Most of de Roode’s research focuses on monarch butterflies and their parasites. Following his research that showed that monarchs can use toxic milkweed as medicine, he wrote his new book.
As always you may ask LIVE questions during the Q&A.
