Alhamdulilah, Eid Mubarak

How was Ramadan for you?

British comedian Dara O'Briain had a standup bit about how a lot of panel discussions include someone we know is an expert in a field with proven scientific fact (like the Earth is round) and then there is someone shoehorned in that espouses a totally nonsensical view (the Earth is flat) for the sake of fairness. I've noticed you sometimes do this on your show and I wanted to know why you give non-experts the same platform as actual experts to discuss meaningful topics?

Nick, did Rob do a lot of impressions while you two were working together? If so, which one was your favorite?

Both Beta Amyloid and Amylin are two of a handful of proteins that share a similar capacity to form toxic oligomeric species. While Beta Amyloid is associated with Alzheimer's, Amylin is associated with Type II DM. Studies have shown a high comorbidity of Alzheimer's and Type II DM and Amylin deposits have been found colocalized in the brain tissue of Alzheimer's patients. Do you believe that Amylin oligomers may promote the development of Beta Amyloid oligomers?
