March 30, 2024 09:15 - 1 hour - 101 MBHave you ever thought about how knowledge, sometimes thought of as facts, get from the scientists, to journalists, to the articles and videos on your screen? Turns out there is a pipeline taking science discoveries from the lab to the news media. This pathway is a useful and well-used system but it is not without problems. Information can be distorted as it is translated and passed on and the fact checks you might assume are present sometimes aren't. My guest Elisa Nelissen is a Ph.D. rese...

February 22, 2024 09:45 - 1 hour - 95.8 MBAnts and other eusocial insects have taken group living to the extreme and while we may not think of these animals as representative of human societies studying the fundementals of the evolution of and consequences of social living using ants makes a lot of sense.

Episode 91 - An Honest Look Back At Pandemic Communication
October 27, 2023 09:45 - 57 minutes - 78.9 MBSome recent episodes have really got me thinking about science communication and our responsibility as citizens to be informed.

This episode is my attempt ...
Episode 90 - Understanding Public Attitudes Toward Science
October 03, 2023 09:15 - 1 hour - 106 MBResponsible members of society should have some understanding of science. Hot take? I don’t think so. Decisions on personal and public health require some knowledge and look no further than debates surrounding the application and use of things like AI and gene editing technology. Citizens should have and use their voice to speak on these topics. And this is why science communication exists as a volunteer activity for many academics and as a career for people like me. Unfortunately, the very ...

August 17, 2023 08:45 - 1 hour - 107 MBPsychedelics receive a lot of positive press regarding their potential as tools for introspection, therapy, and lifestyle or health improvements.

Episode 87 - Moving Beyond A Psychedelic Experience
June 30, 2023 09:45 - 55 minutes - 76.2 MBEvery other month it seems there is some news coming out regarding psychedelic assisted therapy.

February 22, 2023 09:45 - 39 minutes - 53.7 MBWe’ve all seen The Last of Us right? The hit franchise is based on the real life Cordyceps fungus, but did you know the fungus doesn’t take over the brain? The true mechanism behind the zombie fungus is perhaps more terrifying. Also, there is actually a more compelling example of zombie parasites that receives shockingly little attention.

Episode 83 - Patent Law and Psychedelics
January 31, 2023 09:45 - 1 hour - 97 MBPatent law is not front of mind for most people with an interest in psychedelics it is an important story to follow.
