Channel: Body Banter Podcast
Date: 2023-01-18

Before you listen, be aware that this episode contains brief discussion of sudden infant death syndrome. 

To continue this month’s discussion about comparative anatomy of the head and neck, Jeff Laitman joins us this week to *talk* about the larynx and what makes our voice box different from other primates’. Professor Laitman takes us on a journey, starting with the inspiration to pursue a lifetime of anatomical inquiry originating from a troupe of mischievous monkeys, all the way to the wonder of how our own bodies change through different stages of life. 

Professor Laitman is Past-President of the American Association of Anatomy and is Distinguished Professor of the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai in New York.
