This week on Brains and Bourbon, we talk immunology with Mary Cavanagh, who explains how specialized cells recognizes self v. non-self to keep the body safe, and how loss of that recognition can lead to a whole host of problems. Dr. Cavanagh is a postdoc in Jorg Goronzy’s lab here at Stanford. "Brains and Bourbon" is a show about cocktails and neuroscience. Each week, we invite a neuroscientist to discuss the process and motivation behind their science, and to share their favorite cocktail with us. You have a brain and you like to drink, so come sit down and have a drink with us.
