Dr. Sean Jackewicz is a Lieutenant in the US Navy and currently works as a physician at Walter Reed in Washington D.C.

As you'll hear in this episode, Sean had a very unorthodox way of getting into the world of medicine and went to several schools to become a Physician, where he also won awards for his scientific research. He also joined the US Navy and currently hold the rank of Lieutenant O3.

We talk about his passion for science, his upbringing, living in Savannah, and what led him to his current job. We also discuss among many other things....cloning mammoths, de-extinction, space travel, CRISPR, and medicine in space. I will have Sean on again to discuss the cloning of dogs!
