Doctor Who and the Science of Regeneration Panel

Regeneration is a key plot device in Doctor Who, but it’s also a fascinating window into human biological potential. This panel of experts explores medical advances like stem cell research, prosthetics, and other real-world regeneration science and imagines exciting possibilities for human adaptation. We’ll analyze the many regenerations of Doctor Who and probe the limits of human biology, identity, and transformation. Panelists include Mark Glassy, Ph.D. (cancer research scientist, pharmaceutical drug inventor, sci-fi collector), Stacy Watnick, Ph.D. (clinical and consulting psychologist, co-host of Free the Squee podcast), and Ewa Farrelly, M.D. (family practice physician, Bad Medicine podcast panelist). Moderated by Ronald Coleman, Ph.D. (stem cell biologist, author, pop culture advisor).
