About Behind Our Science

Behind Our Science Podcast aims to close the gap in understanding the complex mechanisms driving disease formation and engage the general public and research advocates. We will engage the public by explaining the latest exciting biomedical innovations in simple terms free from jargon and emphasize the importance of supporting continued research in the biomedical sciences. We will explain the importance of how understanding fundamental mechanisms driving diseases provides a solid foundation for breakthroughs in scientific research.https://asippathways.com/behind-our-science/

   Episode 38.1(Mini Episode)—The Biological Cost of Trauma. Dr. Eric Kendle, El Paso VA Chief of Staff

   We spent two episodes tracing trauma all the way down to the cell — misfolded proteins, hijacked reward circuits, and an alarm system stuck in the "on" position. But a discovery on a lab bench doesn't heal anyone on its own. Someone has to build the system that turns that science into care. In this mini-episode, we meet that someone. Before the finale of our 3-part mini-series, we sit down with Dr. Eric Kendle, Chief of Staff of the El Paso VA Health Care System — and few people alive are bet...

   Episode 37-The Biological Cost of Trauma. The Cell's War 2 of 3

   We talk about trauma like it lives in the mind. But what if it lives in the cell — in misfolding proteins, hijacked reward circuits, and an alarm system that never learned to shut off? In Episode 1, we followed the human cost of trauma. In Episode 2, we follow that weight all the way down to where it actually lives: inside the brain, inside the neuron, inside the cell. Two questions drive this episode: Does severe stress physically change the brain? And how does trauma wire the brain for ad...

   Episode 36-The Biological Cost of Trauma. The Human Cost-Episode 1 of 3

   The Biology of Trauma — Episode 1 of 3 We talk about trauma like it's a wound to the soul. But what if it has a price tag? And what if you're already paying it without knowing? $458 billion. That's what our society spends every year managing the ripple effects of childhood adversity alone. A $14,000 hospital bill for a single crisis. A 15% pay cut over a decade after a workplace injury. $450,000 in wealth that survivors of childhood trauma never get to build. Trauma is a thief — it doesn't ju...
