The Smell of Hell

Throughout human history, there’s been one element we’ve always associated with death. Just the smell of it is an alarm bell that says, “something here is dangerous.” But what if our noses have been wrong all along? In this episode of our series Viscera: Gripping Tales of the Human Body, we take you to a live performance in Boston where we reveal how this much-maligned element might be better understood as the smell of life. LATERAL CUTS: Want to see a Viscera show? Join us for Radiolab Presents: Viscera, live in New York City on Thursday, November 5th. All about the sometimes freaky world of organ transplants, with special guest Mary Roach discussing her upcoming book, Replaceable You: Adventures in Human Anatomy.

Episode 180 - Håkon Reisvang - Roten til samfunnskonflikten

Kan AI kan fungere som et personlig speil, der hvert menneske får hjelp til å forstå sine egne motivasjoner, oppdage blindsoner og korrigere sine egne perspektiver? Kan dette verktøyet bistå oss i å løse samfunnskonflikten; - å kunne få motsetningene til å samarbeide gjennom sannhet fremfor makt? Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Nobelshow

Programleder Kristopher Schau og kjemiker og vitenskapsformidler Alexander Sandtorv forklarer årets vinnere av Nobelprisene i medisin eller fysiologi, fysikk og kjemi og de mer komiske Ig Nobelprisene som går til forskning som først får deg til å le - dernest å tenke. Bli med inn i Målstova på Nasjonalbiblioteket for å høre om alt fra optogenetikk (en teknikk som lar forskere aktivere eller deaktivere spesifikke nerveceller i hjernen ved hjelp av lys), nøytrinoer fra det dype kosmos som fanges langt nede i isen på Sørpolen og om molekyler som er speilbilder av hverandre (som høyrehånd og venstrehånd) og hvordan forskere har klart å skape kjemiske reaksjoner som bare fører til den ene formen - noe som er veldig nyttig i produksjon av legemidler. Og Ig Nobel-prisene? De handler om alt fra nesesnyting, næringsrik melk fra kakerlakker, optimale urinaler og sveitsiske folk og forskere som har undersøkt jordhelsen ved å grave ned 1000 underbukser. (00:00) – Introduksjon: Velkommen til Nysgjerrige Norge og årets Nobelpriser (02:16) – Introduksjon til Ig Nobel-prisene (02:56) – Ig Nobel i biomekanikk: Den nye definisjonen av kyssing (04:43 ) – Ig Nobel i økonomi: Overklassens uetiske oppførsel (07:25) – Nobelprisen i medisin eller fysiologi: Oppdagelsen av optogenetikk (19:15) – Ig Nobel i medisin: Aerodynamisk studie av nesesnyting (22:39) – Ig Nobel i teknologi: «Nekroprinting» med myggsnabler (25:34) – Ig Nobel i fysikk: Det optimale, sprutfrie urinalet (29:34) – Nobelprisen i fysikk: IceCube-observatoriet og astrofysiske nøytrinoer (39:51) – Ig Nobel i folkehelse/lukt: Hvordan babyer versus tenåringer lukter (41:30) – Ig Nobel i fred: Hvorfor vi verdsetter ondsinnede venner mot felles fiender (42:45) – Ig Nobel i biologi: Hva som får giftige slanger til å bite (45:58) – Nobelprisen i kjemi: Asymmetrisk organisk syntese og kirale molekyler (1:00:12) – Ig Nobel i kjemi: Kakelakkmelk som energikilde (1:02:10) – Ig Nobel i jordvitenskap: Nedgravde truser og jordhelse Nysgjerrige Norge er en serie fra Norges Forskningsråd.

The First Britons - Tim Minchin, Prof Chris Stringer and Dr Selina Brace

The Infinite Monkey Cage returns for a brand-new series, with Professor Adam Rutherford and comedian Jessica Fostekew swinging into the cage as guest presenters. In this first episode, they find out who were the very first people to land on the British Isles… if they even were Isles at all. Joined by anthropologist Professor Chris Stringer, geneticist Dr Selina Brace and comedian Tim Minchin, they learn that our British ancestors got to hang out with hippopotamuses, uncover what ancient DNA can tell us about man’s earliest best friends, and discover that some Homo sapiens became more than just friends with our Neanderthal cousins... The panel also gets to the bottom of some of the most pressing scientific debates: like if Cheddar Man was really a looker and whether the Brits have always had bad teeth. Producer: Mel Brown A BBC Studios Production

Ask Me Anything | October 2026

Welcome to the October 2026 Ask Me Anything episode of Mindscape! These monthly excursions are funded by Patreon supporters (who are also the ones asking the questions). We take questions asked by Patreons, whittle them down to a more manageable number -- based primarily on whether I have anything interesting to say about them, not whether the questions themselves are good -- and sometimes group them together if they are about a similar topic. Enjoy! Blog post with show notes, AMA questions, and transcript: https://preposterousuniverse.com/podcast/2026/10/12/ama-october-2026/ Listen or watch Rolex Planet Visionaries wherever you get your podcasts. #ad Upgrade to a TP-Link WiFi Mesh System -- use code MINDSCAPE10 at https://us.store.tp-link.com. #ad

Medicine Through the Ages 🩺🏺 | The Strange History of Ancient Healing | Boring History for Sleep

Long before modern hospitals, antibiotics, and advanced surgery, people had their own ways of understanding illness and treating the human body. Some remedies were surprisingly practical, while others were based on beliefs about spirits, humors, magic, and the unseen forces behind disease. This episode travels through the history of medicine, exploring how ancient physicians, healers, herbalists, and surgeons tried to diagnose illness and restore health. From Egyptian remedies and Mesopotamian healers to Greek physicians, Roman medicine, and medieval traditions, each era added new ideas to humanity’s growing understanding of the body. What did ancient people believe caused disease? How were injuries treated without modern technology? Which remedies actually worked, and which only reflected the medical knowledge of their time? Settle in for a journey through centuries of strange theories, forgotten treatments, remarkable discoveries, and the long human search for a better understanding of medicine. Boring History for Sleep — Soft stories about the strange journey of healing.
