All about saliva.
What's in it?
What does it do?
Did you know, Pat, there's bits of your immune system in saliva to fight germs in your mouth, you know?
So kissing and all that, what happens?
Yeah, you exchange germs, as you know, through saliva.
It's actually quite interesting, the science of saliva.
There's stuff in saliva that promotes wound repair.
So that's why we lick our wounds through evolution.
Yeah, that's where it comes from.
And it turns out they found peptides in the saliva that promote wound repair.
Good morning, Pat.
You've had a busy week.
I have.
I've had four days of science in Dublin.
We had a visit from the European Research Council, which is Europe's biggest funder of basic science.
Two and a half billion budget a year, by the way.
And I'm on the council.
I'm a representative for Ireland.
And I invited them to Dublin because of the presidency, which starts next week.
