How do our bodies build our bodies? What does a stem cell look like? How do they know what to do? What diseases could stem cells cure? And why is Canada such a hot place for research? Dr. Samantha Yammine – known by many as Science Sam – is a stem cell biologist and science communicator and takes us back to the discovery of stem cells, chats ethical questions, spotting scams, cloning, gene-edited babies, helping your body heal faster and what advancements are being made, albeit by slowly growing in a dish. Visit Dr. Samantha Yammine’s <a href="https://www.samanthayammine.com/">website</a>, <a href="https://www.samanthayammine.com/links/">links</a> and follow her on <a href="https://www.instagram.com/science.sam/">Instagram</a>, <a href="https://twitter.com/heysciencesam">Twitter</a> and <a href="https://www.tiktok.com/@science.sam">TikTok</a>Donations went to <a href="https://www.closerlookatstemcells.org/">A Closer Look at Stem Cells</a> and <a href="https://marshap.org/donate/">The Marsha P.
