Dog Years Decoded: A Journey into Animal Aging
Have you ever wondered why different animals grow and age at different rates? Why do dogs mature faster and live only a fraction of our lifetimes? How would biology do that? CSHL Professor Chris Hammell will spend some time explaining how he uses simple model organisms to determine how the clock of life works.
