Episode Details

The growing understanding of electricity over the past 200 years has dramatically changed our understanding of the universe, including, you might say, the universe inside our bodies.  I had the pleasure of speaking on our podcast, AMSEcast, with Sally Adee, author of We Are Electric: Inside the 200 Year Hunt for Our Body's Bioelectric Code, and What the Future Holds.  In this fascinating book, Sally explores the ways our bioelectrical makeup is central to our lives.  Still, our understanding of the electricity in our bodies, and how the nervous system works, are relatively recent discoveries.
