In each new season, the bioscience team at azcentral.com examines a new element of scientific research to show you what it means for how we live today.
Season one is all about “weird science.” You’ll find fish that swim in the desert, tiny insects in cage matches and robots that talk to plants. It all sounds pretty strange.
But behind some of their weirdest scientific experiments, researchers are learning some things that are life-and-death serious. The changing climate, the future of degenerative neurological diseases, the future of human life itself ... some of it might someday depend on these weird cases.

Our DNA can help tell a story about our past, present, and future through genetic testing, and that testing is becoming much more common.
Solio Felix came into the emergency room last June with what he thought was heat stroke or a heart attack. This is when a nurse told him that he'd be a perfect candidate for a genetic testing study.
He and his wife have no family history of cardiovascular disease, but this doesn't mean that they aren't at risk or that they didn't pass something along to their teenage daughter.
Through genetic testing done in Arizona, they were able to find out their risk level and prepare for the future.
But what is genetic testing, and how is it improving doctors' advice and treatment plans?
This episode marks the start of the second season of our podcast The Lab at azcentral, where we dive into science stories that affect everyday life.
