Are You Smarter Than A Newitz Kid?

In this episode of You Represent Science, Dr. Deb Newitz welcomes three very special guests, her children Ryan, Payton, and Dylan, for a lively conversation that puts years of family medical lessons to the test. Through a fast paced quiz filled with friendly competition and plenty of laughs, they revisit the health advice they grew up hearing and reveal just how much of it has stayed with them.

As the game unfolds, the discussion expands far beyond trivia. Together, they explore topics including nutrition, exercise, influenza, Lyme disease, celiac disease, supplements, social media, and the importance of recognizing that many illnesses don't always present with textbook symptoms. Dr. Deb also shares why she believes questioning assumptions, looking beyond standard guidelines, and paying close attention to patient experiences are essential parts of good medicine.

Blending humor, family stories, and thoughtful medical discussion, this episode offers a unique look at how scientific thinking can shape everyday decisions both inside and outside the doctor's office. It's an engaging reminder that some of our most valuable lessons don't just come from classrooms or clinics. Sometimes they begin around the family dinner table.
