    TMA: Kidney Stones, Formation and Treatment

    Thanks for tuning in to TMA - Tell Me About! In this episode, Sufal, and Marvin talk about big beans and stones. AKA their way of describing the Kidney and all about kidney stones (nephrolithiasis or urolithiasis). Marvin and Sufal both dig into the nitty-gritty details of how minerals form together throughout the urinary tract to become stones, the risk factors, how to treat it, and of course the usual banter surrounding their conversations. This special episode is actually also designed to be used as a seminar teaching for their enrollment in "Animal Physiology and Homeostasis". Listen to the beginning of the episode for more on that. Additionally, the links below will lead you to the slides/visual presentation that was made alongside this podcast for your viewing pleasure. Tune in to learn more about the condition that affects 12% of the population in the world, especially if you are a caucasian, male, who consumes a lot of salt (all of which increase the risk of forming one).

    TMA: Death, Aging, and Enhancement Part 2

    Thanks for tuning in to TMA - Tell Me About! This is part 2 of 2 on this topic. In the second part of this episode, Sufal, and Marvin talk about the last 2 topics, Aging, and Enhancement, and how we expect them to develop in the future. Listen in to Marvin and Sufal answer questions on various topics related to aging, such as worsening mental conditions, bodily functions, telomerase and genetics, memory, societal interactions with immortal beings. As well as the dreams of science fiction where you may find yourself deciding to replace your flimsy human arm with an upgraded mechanical one like Sufal has in the Cover image of this episode.  Listen in and ponder answers to questions yourself such as whether you would like to live at the age of 25 till your timely death, or even integrate a futuristic processor to help your brain connect to information on the internet rather than rely on your own memory. Quote of the episode: "If you live forever, a relationship for 20 years is a fling" Disclaimer: Sufal, and Marvin are not professionals on the topic of death, if you have thoughts and feelings that may be uneasy and contemplating suicide please consult a professional or call the number below for more resources.

    TMA: Death, Aging, and Enhancement

    Thanks for tuning in to TMA - Tell Me About!  This is part 1 of 2 on this topic. In this episode, Sufal, and Marvin talk about the big unknown. No not space (that would be pretty cool), but Death, Aging, and Enhancement. Marvin takes the lead and asks questions leading to discussions about perceptions on death, theories, concepts, and much more. They discuss the COVID-19 pandemic's effect on mental states and the rise in death numbers and thoughts of death, saving parents and family members' lives over your own, death as a tool for motivation, pain, the afterlife.  Come and ponder the answers to these topics and their questions yourself as the TMA team gets into the topic of thought most of us try to ignore. Listen in to a usually dreadful topic as your favourite hosts bring humour, provoke their own thoughts, imagine how it would be like to live forever and discuss aspects of Death, Aging, and Enhancement in this 2-parter episode. Quote of the episode: "Did you just learn about death now?? Sorry Sufal, it's real" Disclaimer: Sufal, and Marvin are not professionals on the topic of death, if you have thoughts and feelings that may be uneasy and contemplating suicide please consult a professional or call the number below for more resources.
