Hibernation w/ Frank van Breukelen

Here We Are

Jul 31 2023 • 1 hr 6 mins

This episode comes from a conversation with the Director of Life Sciences here at the University of Nevada, Las Vegas.


His research focuses on hibernation! Why do animals do it? What's the difference between say... torpor and taking a nap? Could humans ever hibernate?


Plus, we get to dive into some other fascinating research about fish species, specifically, the very cute pupfish, which somehow live in the desert!
