SKRAPS is your podcast where we, on your behalf explore the stories of sparks of scientific brilliance in science and innovation. SKRAPS is the word sparks spelt backwards and also a play on the idea that ideas are written on back of a napkin or scraps of paper. We explore stories of people in science, while elaborating on the scientific details so that experts and non-experts can relate to science better in today's whimsical world that acts to spread mis-information.

    And then came the microelectrode...!

    How do we even know what constitutes the heart beat? What was the reason for all those abnormal rhythms of the heart? Why does it happen? The answer lies in the small, cylindrical glass tube called the micropipetter, which was used to create a microelectrode. Here it is, on how the microelectrode changed the face of cardiology. SKRAPS is your podcast, where we on your behalf explores unsaid, underappreciated and sometimes, untold stories of sparks of brilliance in science, technology and innovation.

    R.I.P ... CDC's Epidemic Intelligence Service

    This story was inspired by the post on X by Dr. Farsad Mostashari. Center for Disease Control has been at the forefront of many of the alerts (true and false) and now it's officially gone... This is a sombre take on what has happened.

  4. Sympathetically, Un-sympathetic

    Sympathetically, Un-sympathetic

    This is conclusion of the mini-series! In this episode, we uncover the question, is the "cholinergic anti-inflammatory reflex" nerves entirely vagal? The answer is not so straightforward. Building on good work by Davide Martelli and Robin McAllen, we uncover crucial role of the efferent arm of the reflex to "also" be sympathetic. And at the end, we also talk about the importance of understanding the referral and implantation pathway and why we remain muted in the ability of neuromodulation for immune-inflammation to be uptaken widely anytime soon.

  5. The Inflammation

    The Inflammation

    With the set up of how vagus signalling was deduced by careful and meticulous experiments of Linda Watkins, who built on some amazing results from Hugo Besedovsky, we turn our attention to how the hypothesis moved from tackling acute inflammatory models (e.g. Sepsis) to chronic inflammatory models and disease conditions like Rheumatoid Arthritis. We are joined by Tony Arnold, ex-CEO of SetPoint Medical and Dr. Paul-Peter Tak who pioneered the clinical trials in Rheumatoid Arthritis and Inflammatory Bowel Disease. Also, we cover some shocking moral plaigiarism from Feinstein Institute and Dr. Kevin Tracey in managing their public image. We now know that he was not the single pioneer of the transition to Arthritis and IBD trials as the news media claims or potrays him to be. It actually had many people's hand, especially Paul-Peter Tak's.

  6. Las Vagus, Baby!!

    Las Vagus, Baby!!

    What happens in the vagus, stays in vagus?? Not with us at SKRAPS. “Science Is a Team Sport” If we truly mean this - I mean, really and truly mean that science is a group effort and not the effort of one person, let’s really dive in to this and embrace our opportunities to set the record straight. And I mean let’s start right now!  As we endeavor to understand The Wanderer, we must also strive to understand the contributors - and not just the marquee names. We hope to shed light on the nerve, the possibilities, the history, and all of the major players - not just a solo artist. After all, as we near the end of another American football season, I think we can appreciate that Joe Montana was better because of Jerry Rice - Troy Aikman thrived with Michael Irvin, and Tom Brady is the GOAT because of his myriad weapons. Let’s be true to our intent to make science a team sport and go beyond the lip service.

    Trailer - The Inflammatory Wanderer

    Can you tell me the last time that you know of that we eulogised and attributed even the most difficult concepts to a single eureka moment?  Was it yesterday?  Was it last week? Was it last month?  We have this image of a human jumping out of a bathtub and running naked, shedding your rica or an apple falling from a tree or in the case of psychedelic medicine, the famous bicycle trip of Albert Hoffman. If you think you love this romanticised version, let me break this idea for you.
