27 分钟Hey listeners, Rachel here.
It's been a year since I started hosting Science Quickly,
and because of that, I have a quick favor to ask.
We would love to get your feedback on how Science Quickly has been doing and how you might like to see us evolve.
That's why we're putting out a listener survey.
If you complete it this month, you'll be eligible to win some awesome Scientific American swag.
You can find the survey at sciencequickly.com slash survey,
or we'll also have that link in our show notes.
It would mean a lot to us if you took a few minutes to complete the survey.
We promise it won't take too much of your time.
Again, you can find the survey at sciencequickly.com.
Thanks in advance for letting us know your thoughts.
For Scientific American Science Quickly, I'm Rachel Feltman.
Our guest today is Martin Picard,
an associate professor of behavioral medicine at Columbia University.
He's here to tell us all about our mitochondria,
what they do for us, and how they can even talk to each other.
If you like to watch your pods instead of just listening,
you can check out a video version of my conversation with Martin over on our YouTube page.
Plus, you'll get to see some of the aligning mitochondria we're about to talk about in action.
