Welcome to the Scientifically Sound! I'm Ralph from the South. It's the host that does the most and I don't mean to boast. This is my scientific journey coming to the creative forefront. You may find that a scientific discovery could be inspired by a hit song of an amazing musician. Or maybe a musician was reading up on some academic journals to find their new melody. Whatever the case may be, we have science, we have music, put them together and let's use it. Follow us on Instagram @scientificallysound

O-X-Y-T-O-C-I-N #happyvalentinesday
You know we had to bring some R&B into the mix this Valentine's Day!
Rexxy Pendergrass and I decided to lay down some vocals in honor of the hormone, oxytocin. So lovely, don't you agree.
Here's to more #neuroscience research on the role of this cool neuropeptide.

H.A.P.P.Y Radio(waves)
Video to Episode: https://youtu.be/QomjXhg0fN8?feature=shared
After a year of changes, Rex and I decide to have a talk and do something new.
Welcome to Scientifically Sound! Where I, Ralph from the South, along with my "roommate", Rex the Lab Tech, kick back and bring science into the creative spaces of music, storytelling, and art. Think of us as your fellow goofballs giving you science news and stories that are fun and informative.
This episode, we dive in to the hit "H.A.P.P.Y Radio" by Edwin Starr and how radio waves are transmitted and received in a radio broadcast.

Episode 12: Santa Claus is coming to Sound! feat. Lauren Girouard-Hallam
Happy Holidays, fellow listeners! Lauren Girouard-Hallam joins me on the show as we discuss Santa's powers based on the holiday hit famously recorded by Gene Autry "Up on the Housetop" in the scope of psychology of children's belief in them. And of course, we have some fun as we tease out what kind of scientist(s) would Santa Claus would be! More information about Lauren below.
Lauren Girouard-Hallam, MA, MS, (she/her) is a fourth year doctoral candidate at the University of Louisville in Kentucky. She earned her Bachelor of Science in Neuroscience and her Bachelor of Arts in Theatre from Furman University in 2017 and then moved to New York City to pursue her Master of Arts in Drama Therapy, an arts-based applied counseling degree, which she earned from NYU in 2019. She also earned a Master of Science in Experimental Psychology from U of L in 2021. Her current research investigates how 3-12 year old children think about and learn from novel technologies from Siri and Alexa to search engines and the internet at large. Lauren can also be found teaching labs for graduate level statistics courses, serving as chair for the American Psychological Association’s Science Student Council, and co-running Louisville Kentucky’s chapter of R-Ladies, a community initiative designed to bring coding skill-building opportunities to gender minority individuals inside and outside of the academy. Lauren is also this year’s ComSciCon National Flagship Conference Programming Committee & Logistics Committee liaison. When not engaging in scholarship, Lauren is most at home when curled up with her Belgian shepherd mix Molly, her wife Madison, and an excellent art-house horror film.

Episode 10: Stellar and Scary feat. Sumeet Kulkarni and Huei Sears
Sumeet Kulkarni is a 6th-yr. PhD student studying gravitational waves at the University of Mississippi. Sumeet uses really smart code written by others to evolve binary black holes forward and backward in time, and apply it to whole populations of black holes to figure out if we can detect signatures of them precessing like a spinning top. He is also involved with education and outreach efforts with the LIGO collaboration, primarily to develop web apps that can use gravitational-wave research to teach simple physics concepts. He has written for Astrobites in the past couple of years, and recently completed the AAAS mass media fellowship with the LA Times.
Huei Sears is a fifth-year physics PhD candidate at Northwestern University. She studies the properties of long-duration gamma-ray burst host-galaxies at high-redshift -- i.e. the oldest galaxies that host the brightest and most energetic explosions in our Universe. Huei also is an active member of the Astrobites collaboration where she serves on the Administrative, DEI, and Hiring committees in-addition to co-managing their social media accounts. A fun fact about Huei is that she is a massive Taylor Swift fan and loves to sing.

Episode 9: Oh September, Do You Remember? feat Daniela Mesa and Haley Stubbs
Welcome Back, Welcome Back, Welcome Back!
Daniela Mesa and Haley Stubbs come back to the Sound one mo' time! We catch up on what they've been up to since their last appearance, try and create a science awards show, and discuss the hit "September" by Earth Wind and Fire. What we decided to do is look into what happened on September 21st from a scientific point of view! You'll laugh, you'll learn, you'll probably find out more stuff about us that you can laugh about.
Haley Stubbs is a 6th year PhD candidate in the Quantitative and Chemical Biology Program at Vanderbilt University under the direction of Tina Iverson. Her interests lie in using X-Ray Crystallography to study GPCR interactions. Daniela Mesa Sanchez is a 6th year PhD candidate in the Department of Chemistry at Purdue University under the direction of Julia Laskin. Her interests lie in mobility spectrometry-mass spectrometry and the applications of nano-DESI MS imaging.
