SciShow: How Studying Elephant Seals Could Treat Heart Attacks

Teacher or professor: SciShow
Subject: Science
Content of the Lesson: Generally, when you think of carbon monoxide, nothing good comes to mind. And that’s… pretty reasonable. But elephant seals show us how we might be able to use carbon monoxide as an effective therapy for heart attacks and stroke. Hosted by: Michael Aranda SciShow has a spinoff podcast!
