In this episode we interview Daniel Kuebler about his research on the relation between diet and seizures in flies and how it applies to humans. (Radlicz, C., Chamber, A., Olis, E., and Kuebler, D (2019) The addition of a lipid-rich dietary supplement eliminates seizure-like activity and paralysis in the Drosophila Bang sensitive mutants. Epilepsy Research, 155: 106153. doi.org/10.1016/j.eplepsyres.2019.106153 ) We discuss the paper, how they made the discovery, and doing research with students.
