Host Kevin Patton previews the newly revised HAPS Learning Outcomes for A&P, discussing the goals of the revision and samples a few of the changes. Why is noon a good time to get your flu shot? Are there neurons that actively erase memories? Vaping: why A&P teachers need to keep up with the news.

Timing of Vaccinations
2 minutes
With a new flu season upon us, vaccination is a timely topic. Recent research suggests that the time of day at which we receive our vaccination may influence it's effectiveness. At midday, CD8 T cells may respond more strongly than at other times of day.
Immune cells called T cells multiply after vaccination in the middle of the day. (journal news article) my-ap.us/2LOv2tN The circadian clock of CD8 T cells modulates their early response to vaccination and the rhythmicity of related signaling pathways (journal research article) my-ap.us/2OkPGTY Australia Just Had a Bad Flu Season.

Neurons That Erase Memory
5.5 minutes
New evidence suggests that there is a population of neurons that actively erase old, unimportant memories during REM sleep. Hopefully, your memories of past episodes of this podcast will be preserved (as well as the date of my birthday).

Vaping
5 minutes
Vaping is a timely topic, considering the emergence of vaping-induced lung injury and other vaping-related conditions. Discussing the news about vaping, which is frequently updated, is appropriate in the A&P course. Following the story over the course of a year may helps students better understand human science.
