Guest: Jose Franco, Recipient of DACA, BYU graduate The clock is ticking on the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals program – or DACA. It will expire under President Trump’s order in six months, unless Congress acts to protect the 800,000 undocumented young people who are currently able to work and study in the US without fear of deportation because of DACA. I’m joined in studio by one of those young people.

Internal Clocks Keep Us HealthySep 27, 201718mGuest: Carrie Partch, PhD, Professor of Biochemistry, University of California, Santa Cruz The problem with jet lag is not just that you’re tired, it’s that, no matter how tired you are, your body won’t sleep when it’s nighttime. Your internal clock is all messed up. And that’s not just a metaphor. Almost every cell in your body has a timing mechanism – a clock – with the ability to affect your sleep, your weight and even how well medicine works for you.
