About this episode

The episode explores galactic gas outflows and the search for broadly neutralizing antibodies against HIV.

This week on Tiny Show and Tell Us, a listener introduces us to "FARTs" — a silly acronym for galactic gas outflows — and sends us down a rabbit hole of dying stars and recycled cosmic gas in the early universe. Then we discuss the decades-long search for broadly neutralizing antibodies (bNAbs) that can target many HIV strains at once. One bNAb that looks promising is in clinical trials right now!  We need your stories — they're what make these bonus episodes possible!
