You (Don't) Know Where You Are

If someone asked you to point to yourself, where would you point? Your chest? Your head? Somewhere just behind your eyes? Where are you? In this episode, Professor Hannah Fry and VSauce’s Michael Stevens explore how the brain maps and understands out location, from the inner ear fluid that tells us which way is up, to the grid and place cells that build a kind of internal GPS. But how do London taxi drivers rewire their brains to memorise entire cities when the rest of us can’t? How does language change the way we orient in space? And what happens when your senses disagree about your where in the world you are? Moving from avalanches and virtual reality to ancient philosophy and modern neuroscience, Hannah and Michael move from how to find ourselves on a map to how locating the “self” inside the body may be one of the deepest mysteries in science. Why did Aristotle believe the self lived in the heart instead of the head? If we’re asked to find the self where do we point? What does it mean to say that you are somewhere…at all? ------------------- For more information about Cancer Research UK, their research, breakthroughs and how you can support them, visit ⁠⁠https://cancerresearchuk.org/restisscience⁠⁠.

How Big Is A Piece Of Chocolate?

At what exact chemical ratio does our beloved chocolate devolve into a mere structure of fats and sugars? How far can you dilute chocolate before its fundamental identity vanishes? And what could a comically tiny novelty stool possibly reveal about Michael Stevens? Unlike a block of pure iron or a vial of chlorine, chocolate is not one single substance but a complex and heterogeneous mixture we all take for granted. Hannah and Michael explore the chemistry and nutritional boundaries of this everyday treat. Where does the stool come in? You'll have to listen to find out. ------------------- For more information about Cancer Research UK, their research, breakthroughs and how you can support them, visit ⁠⁠https://cancerresearchuk.org/restisscience⁠⁠ Cancer Research UK is a registered charity in England and Wales (1089464), Scotland (SC041666), the Isle of Man (1103) and Jersey (247).

Tropical birds’ ‘silent spring,’ and mapping people’s brains during surgery

First up on the podcast, producer Meagan Cantwell talks to Contributing Correspondent Warren Cornwall about his visit to Brazil, where he observed firsthand what it takes for researchers to understand why bird populations in the Amazon and beyond are shrinking. Next on the show, Raouf Belkhir, an M.D.-Ph.D. student at the University of Pittsburgh School of Medicine and Carnegie Mellon University, joins host Sarah Crespi to discuss his Science Advances paper on a newly refined way to map awake patients’ brains during neurosurgery.

Peripheral vasopressors

In this episode, Dr. Sergio Zanotti discusses the administration of vasopressor agents through peripheral intravenous lines (or what we refer to as “peripheral vasopressors”). He is joined by Dr. Elizabeth Munroe, a practicing pulmonary/critical care physician and an Assistant Professor of Pulmonary and Critical Care at Intermountain Health in Salt Lake City, Utah. Her research interests include evidence-based resuscitation practices in early sepsis and septic shock, vasopressor administration practices, peripheral vasopressor use, and clinical trials, particularly novel, pragmatic clinical trial designs.

Black Box

In this episode, first aired in 2014, we examine three very different kinds of black boxes—spaces where we know what’s going in, we know what’s coming out, but can’t see what happens in-between. From the darkest parts of metamorphosis to a sixty-year-old secret among magicians, and the nature of consciousness itself, we shine some light on three questions. But for each, we contend with an answerless space, leaving just enough room for the mystery and magic, always wondering what’s inside the Black Box. EPISODE CREDITS: Reported by Tim Howard and Molly Webster Produced by Tim Howard and Molly Webster EPISODE CITATIONS: Radio Show: ABC's Keep Them Guessing (https://tinyurl.com/9r9zmftr)LATERAL CUTS: Last year we shared a story on our feed about butterfly researcher Dr. Martha Weiss, and how she befriended a little boy on the other side of the world who wanted to do his own caterpillar memory study. Martha’s daughter Annie Rosenthal captured the whole adventure on tape and produced a gorgeous audio feature, “Caterpillar Roadshow,” which was first published in the audio magazine Signal Hill.

Jules Michelet, l’historien qui voulait ressusciter le peuple

Dans cet épisode, découvrez Jules Michelet, l’historien qui voulait ressusciter le peuple. Contrairement à Ranke, partisan d’une histoire froide et objective, Michelet considère l’histoire comme un acte de vie et cherche à redonner voix aux oubliés, aux silencieux, au peuple français. À travers son travail dans les archives, il fait revivre le passé et met le peuple au cœur du récit historique, l’humanisant et lui donnant une dimension épique. Son approche, mêlant science, poésie et engagement, bouscule les conventions et annonce l’école des Annales. L’épisode questionne ainsi le rôle de l’historien, entre rigueur et émotion, et souligne l’héritage d’un écrivain qui a transformé la manière de raconter l’histoire. Mots-clés: Jules Michelet Histoire Peuple Archives Révolution française Historiographie Léopold von Ranke Engagement École des Annales Podcast France Émotion Méthode historique Romantisme Écrivain

Liar, Liar, Gut on Fire: Wellness’s Obsession with Inflammation

In this episode, Jess welcomes Dr. Liz Marnik and Dr. Irini Hadjisavva to explore the multifaceted nature of inflammation and its impact on health. The scientists distinguish between beneficial and harmful inflammatory responses while addressing the challenges of accurately measuring inflammation in clinical settings. They examine common misconceptions surrounding gut health, including the pitfalls of direct-to-consumer microbiome tests and the myth of leaky gut syndrome. The conversation also addresses dietary approaches to supporting gut health and discusses the concerning rise in colorectal cancer rates among younger adults. Throughout the episode, the experts emphasize evidence-based approaches to understanding inflammation while concluding with an encouraging message about the importance of community support in navigating complex health challenges.
