Welcome to Exploring the Bio-edge!

In this episode, Robin chats with Dr Milewski about the kidney. These tiny beans together demand 25% of the heart's freshly pumped blood (that's an average of 1.25 litres every minute at rest!). Milewski questions the disconnect between the energy requirement of the kidneys and its supposed function; providing lateral ideas for why this disconnect might exist.
