Kennedy, Paul (host). Howell, Tom (producer). Luksic, Nicola (producer). Canadian Broadcasting Corporation (Added Author). Host: Kennedy, Paul. (Cast).

Summary: There are about 50,000 PhD candidates in Canada. Most of them toil away for years in relative obscurity. This is the debut of an occasional series which tries to turn their research into an hour of radio. In this inaugural episode, producers Tom Howell and Nicola Luksic follow the work of PhD student Myriam Nafte, who studies the circulation and use of human remains in Western society. And they find unexpected connections between the living and the dead.
