Devil face cancer (DFTD)

On today’s episode we’re joined by Dr. Thomas Merritt, the head of the Merritt Lab at Laurentian University Department of Chemistry & Biochemistry to talk about Tasmanian devil facial tumor disease. Dive into the genetics of the disease decimating the devil population, with pit stops along the way discussing transmissible cancer in clams and dogs, immortal parasitic cell lines, and more. Fair warning, today's episode does briefly talk about porcupine sex toys and animal copulation.
