Talking Real Science with Yelena Akelina

This episode of #ShareScience features Yelena Akelina, DVM, MS, a Research Scientist and the Co-Director/Instructor in Clinical Microsurgery at the Microsurgery Research and Training Lab at Columbia University. She has been educating microvascular surgeons and medical personnel from all over the US and abroad since 1996 and is passionate about teaching surgeons to perform surgery on very small (1mm diameter) vessels and nerves under the microscope to enable them to perform similar surgical procedures in the clinic, and ultimately save lives.
