I said, Jerry, would you mind if I looked at what they are? And he said, sure, go for it. And I asked Jerry (ph), who was running the lab. Yeah, I love - visual things, I think, is what interests me in general. I've actually done bar mitzvahs and weddings. Why? Well, on the side, I'm a photographer. HARVEY KLIMAN: And they wanted me to take a picture of the gradient. And they were chopping up the placenta and homogenizing the placenta.īECCA BRESSLER: And these other scientists in the lab ended up with this thing called a gradient, where the different kinds of cells in the placenta were sort of separated out. HARVEY KLIMAN: And in the lab, there was somebody else who was working on the placenta. HARVEY KLIMAN: And I'm now a resident at University of Pennsylvania. Presumably, it wasn't because you got pregnant.īECCA BRESSLER: So about 40 years ago, Harvey's just gotten out of medical school. HEATHER RADKE: I'm interested in how you got interested in the placenta. HARVEY KLIMAN: Kristen (ph), I think we need another cabinet. HARVEY KLIMAN: We're sort of running out of room.īECCA BRESSLER. HARVEY KLIMAN: MD-Ph.D., physician scientist at Yale University.īECCA BRESSLER: Where he has a cabinet of placentas. I literally had no idea what it did, what its purpose was. HEATHER RADKE: So it's actually grown by the fetus, which means that every single one of us has had a placenta.
HARVEY KLIMAN: The placenta belongs to the embryo, to the fetus, to the baby. LULU MILLER: I mean, OK, I was pregnant, and I think I thought it was just, like, extra lining on my uterus. MOLLY WEBSTER: I definitely thought balloon baby was inside of. HEATHER RADKE: I think I thought a thing a lot of people think, which is that the baby grows inside the placenta. It's an afterthought that no one thinks about. HARVEY KLIMAN: It's called the afterbirth for a reason. HEATHER RADKE: I had heard of the placenta before, but I really didn't know anything about it. HARVEY KLIMAN: Whole placentas, pieces of placentas. HEATHER RADKE: And that organ is the placenta. HARVEY KLIMAN: Here is our cabinet of placentas. HEATHER RADKE: But then all of a sudden during pregnancy. HARVEY KLIMAN: So this is the main hospital. HEATHER RADKE: Your whole life, you've got your heart, your lungs, your bone, your skin, your eyes, et cetera. You grow an entirely new organ.īECCA BRESSLER: (Vocalizing). And one of the very first things I discovered was that when you're pregnant, you don't just grow a baby. But I'll just say, the more I learn about it, the more I realize how little I know and maybe, like, how little anyone knows about pregnancy. And, you know, pregnancy is this thing, at least for me, where I was like, I know about that, you know? I took, like, 14 years of sex ed in my public high school. HEATHER RADKE: Yeah, I'm not even on staff. LULU MILLER: And it comes to us from our contributing editor, Heather Radke. MOLLY WEBSTER: A thing that we've all had at some point. HEATHER RADKE: But also, like, blood sausage bread. MOLLY WEBSTER: We have a story about a thing. MOLLY WEBSTER: A round a loaf of homemade bread. MOLLY WEBSTER: It does look like a loaf of bread. You're listening (laughter).īECCA BRESSLER: It's like red velvet bread. Some people say that suicide is the cowards way out, far from it its possibly the bravest thing in the world, There is a Cary Grant film the title of which escapes me for now but the idea behind the film is a man finds himself in a situation where he thinks the world and the people he most cares about would be better off without him, an Angel gives him the chance to see the world as if he never existed, the empty lives of the people he had never touched, if only we could all see the difference each and everyone of us makes to the world and the people in it no matter how smaller part we think we play.UNIDENTIFIED ANNOUNCER: Listener-supported WNYC studios.
This songs tells us that everybody hurts sometime, like the tears from a clown, comedians are said to be some of the saddest people in the world hiding there pain by making other people laugh, they use the laughter they create to deflect there inner pain. Why did this happen, why did they do it, why didn’t they come to me, the answer being the same reason when were feeling down we keep it to ourselves, it’s a private hurt that no one else has ever felt and that no one could understand. General CommentThis songs reminds me of how little we know about the people around us until its to late, at some time in our lives someone we know, care about or love will die, some may even kill them selves, its only then we ask ourselves WHY.
