Worms, regeneration powers, and immortality — Amelie Raz — MIT Museum Talks
MIT Museum Talks is an ongoing video series, providing a closer look at objects and ideas through the lens of museum staff and guest speakers. Here, postdoctoral researcher Amelie Raz talks about regeneration and germ cell immortality, connecting the powers of worms to the powers of X-Men’s Wolverine.
This talk was originally offered during Girls Day, March 13, 2021, when we looked at Icky Science. This video has been edited and condensed from that longer presentation. Offered twice a year, Girls Day celebrates women who are exploring, researching, and innovating in fields of science, technology, engineering, and math (STEM).
