Dr. Peter Rogers grew up milking cows and building barns. This provided him the transferable skills necessary for a smooth transition into academic research. Three years of genetics research led to six years of immunology research, which led to a PhD from Auburn University. That led to three and half years of instructional design research at Tufts University School of Medicine.

His expertise includes biomedical sciences & technology, social determinants of health, bovine birthing, training & development, and cognitive psychology. He’s taught dozens of university courses, ranging from Principles of Biology to Advanced Medical Immunology. He is currently co-writing a book with his father, George Rogers, called How to Correctly Hold a Flashlight: A Disagreement in Academic and Agricultural Perspectives.

testosterone
The recipe for a perfect date night: a rom-com, a bowl of popcorn, and a syringe of testosterone — at least for gerbils, anyway.
hiv vaccine
HIV mutates rapidly, which has made the development of a vaccine an enormous challenge for decades. Finally, we might have one.
When we feel sick, it's not just the pathogen to blame. Our brain cranks up the temperature, and the neurons responsible finally have been found.

The antibodies elicited by the "S2 vaccine" not only neutralize COVID's multiple strains but also coronaviruses that cause the common cold.

A clever neuroscience experiment shows that the "other-race effect" is likely due to a lack of experience and perceptual expertise rather than racism.
When scientists tested this hydrogel on mice, they had cleaner teeth than most humans.
Let's hope that squid don't evolve lungs and legs, or humanity might be in real trouble.
When it comes to vetting people for friendship, body odor seems to be a decisive factor.
For over three decades, toxic proteins were believed to cause Alzheimer’s disease. However, recent studies suggest it might be metabolic reprogramming.
Music and sounds only seem to reduce pain in mice when played at a specific volume.
adhd alzheimer's disease
Noradrenaline-targeting drugs, including blood pressure, depression, and ADHD meds, improve Alzheimer's disease symptoms.
mosquitoes
The good news is that it can be countered with acne medication.
Wearable technology can help increase lifespan by changing what we know about our dietary needs and creating new ways to exercise.
angry hamsters
For 40 years, scientists thought a specific gene was linked to aggression in hamsters. Removing it, however, had violent consequences.
weed strain
There are almost no standards governing the cannabis industry. Your favorite weed strain may contain unpleasant surprises.
The plant-like sea creatures contain a molecule that improves memory, learning, and even hair quality, according to a new study in mice.
gene editing alcoholism
An experiment in rats suggests that gene editing may be a treatment for anxiety and alcoholism in adults who were exposed to binge-drinking in their adolescence.
