Description
In a special holiday podcast from the American Physiological Society, Perry Barboza, Institute of Arctic Biology at the University of Alaska in Fairbanks, and Lisa Leon, U.S. Army Research Institute of Environmental Medicine in Natick, Massachusetts, explain how a reindeer’s physiology allows survival during frigid winters with little food. They also look at how humans adapt to extremes of heat and cold, and then they give us some pointers on how to help Santa, Rudolph and the gang as they circumnavigate the globe. This is a free audio podcast from the American Physiological Society. Discussion questions, related research, and other teaching resources are available on the site. Less
