The latest episode of Nature’s Briefing Chat explores the emerging field of pet longevity and asks whether scientific research could help dogs live longer. The discussion is linked to Nature’s report on the growing interest in applying longevity research to pets.
The episode also considers a separate question about teaching: whether it is wrong for a researcher not to care about what students think of their classes. The topic follows a Nature article titled “What students think about my teaching doesn’t matter. Am I wrong?”
The episode is available through the Nature Podcast on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, YouTube Music and other podcast applications. An RSS feed is also available. Nature published the item online on 30 October 2026.
