Episode Synopsis

Dr Sergio Bertazzo talks about his research in Mineralomics, the study of minerals that form in the body and how they relate to disease. He talks about how imaging these minerals with an electron microscope can give us new insights into the causes of some very common diseases. We also discuss his foray into the Jurassic World as he recalls the time he found dinosaur blood in a fossil.
