Season 2 Episode 13: Sisters forever!

Excerpt: Sisters talk about periods, and Liz gets on the other side of the mic.

Summary: I had a lot of fun with this one – my sister, Liz Lerner, asked if she could interview me for the kickoff episode for season 2. We talk birth, babies, and obviously periods, including the time I thought I had gotten my period in fifth grade, but hadn’t. Liz is the one of my inspirations for this podcast, and is the person behind the scenes who makes it all sound so good. I’m so glad you finally have the chance to meet her and hear her lovely radio voice. If you live on the Cape in Massachusetts, you’ll be hearing more of her next year! I’ll be the sister bragging on Twitter when there are more details to share.

Liz is an accomplished TV personality, award-winning documentary filmmaker, freelance journalist, and all around great sister. You’ll find her going on insane trail runs, chasing her meatballs (AKA her two children), or making great videos on Cape Cod.

PERIOD Episode 12: Listen with your grandma

Excerpt: I talk to Dr. Molly Fox about why grandmas are cool, and you should listen to this episode with her.

Summary: Thank you so much to the hundreds and hundreds of you who have been listening to this podcast! This has been a great first season and I look forward to many more.

For this last episode of season one, I am please to get to introduce Dr. Molly Fox. Dr. Fox is an Assistant Professor of Biological Anthropology at UCLA. Her research focuses on maternal and grandmaternal transgenerational transmission of genes, phenotypes, life-history patterns, and disease risk within the frameworks of evolutionary and developmental biology. She is interested in the acute and long-term effects of pregnancy and lactation on women’s physiology and disease etiology, and how the life experiences of mothers may become biologically embedding in ways that influence fetal and infant developmental trajectories.

Most of our focus today will be on grandmothers, the evolution of menopause, and the evolution of humans’ long post-menopausal lifespan. It’s the holidays, so if you are with family, I’d really encourage you to listen to this one with the mothers, aunts, grandmothers, nieces, or daughters in your life.
