Join host Erika Ruiz for an informative discussion with Dr. Craig Heller on this episode of The Endless Pursuit - Equitable Science and Medicine podcast. Dr. Heller, a distinguished biologist at Stanford University, leads pioneering research in sleep and circadian rhythms, focusing on their impact on learning and memory in Down syndrome. His innovations in human temperature regulation have transformed understanding and led to advancements in rapid post-anesthesia rewarming techniques and heat exchange technologies.
In this episode, we explore Dr. Heller's extensive research on human temperature regulation, sleep, circadian rhythms, and learning disabilities, particularly in Down syndrome. We highlight the interconnectedness of his work, from innovative heat extraction technologies to the neurobiology of sleep. Dr. Heller also shares his advocacy for post-secondary education for individuals with neurodevelopmental disorders, ultimately highlighting how we can all contribute to creating equitable opportunities that empower individuals with these disorders.
