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.

pancreatic cancer
If future studies prove it to be successful, this technique for the early detection of pancreatic cancer could save thousands of lives.
mutations random
Mutations that confer malaria resistance occur more frequently in people who live in regions where the disease is endemic.
More than 200 years ago, scientists tried to figure out how bats navigate in the dark (or without eyes). This set in motion a series of events that led to the development of ultrasound as a form of psychotherapy.
