Episode 7: The Frog Prince[ss] – Interview with Ph.D Candidate Alina Nguyen What The Sh*t
-
- Salud y forma física
As promised this weeks episode is an interview of one of my graduate student instructors (or GSI) from UC Berkeley. Alina studies mating behaviors in frogs and how chemicals that run off into their environment change not only their behavior but their physiology changing males to female frogs.
Since I know some of my listeners like to just get into the details of research I've added time stamps to topics so you can skip ahead or backtrack to different topics.
Topics include:
• Alina the early years (00:02:02)
• How she got into graduate school (00:20:13)
• Alina's research with frogs and mating behavior (00:47:33)
• A brief chat about my interest in research (1:19:11)
• Why nuns are more likely to get breast cancer (1:27:48)
• Fun shit fact (1:33:08)
If you have any questions for myself or for Alina drop a voice note at anchor.com, a comment or DM on instagram or send me a question on the website.

I talk about the lumpsucker fish, this is not the correct fish name. The fish in question is the “hagfish.”
00:12:40
I mention the women that did the x-rays to get the DNA helix structure, her name is Rosalind Franklin.
00:47:41
I incorrectly say Tyrell, the name of the professor that runs Alina's lab is Tyrone Hayes.
