Bird Pinkerton

I think we're done.

Okay.

Thank you for doing this.

This episode was reported and produced by me, Bird Pinkerton.

It was edited by Brian Resnick and Catherine Wells, as well as Meredith Hodnot, who runs the show.

We had sound design and mixing from Christian Ayala, music from Noam Hassenfeld, Serena Solon checked our fax, and Mandy Nguyen.

It's just really lovely to have nearby.

I want to say a special thank you this episode to Leigh Nelson, who sent so many articles that just really helped orient me and deepen my knowledge here.

So if you want to read more about microchimera and autoimmune disorders, look up her body of research.

I would also recommend the article that Amy Boddy co-authored in Bio Essays in 2015.
