    This Week in Science: The Viral Cause of Multiple Sclerosis

    We're back briefly in between seasons with a new segment, This Week in Science! And this week, Sienna tells Amr and Alastair about a super exciting new paper that has made a huge impact in the field of multiple sclerosis. Listen in to find out why we now think Epstein-Barr virus may be the underlying cause of the disease!   https://linktr.ee/notyetadr   Edited by: Alastair   Questions or Suggestions?

    This Week in Science: Planting the Seeds of Doubt

    Back again with another commentary on science news, but this one is a doozy! Science Magazine published an article investigating what looks like at best poor data management, and at worst....well we'll let you decide! Let's just say, the field of DNA barcoding and determination of plants in nutrient supplements is going under the microscope. Tune in to the science tea now and let us know your thoughts!   https://linktr.ee/notyetadr   Edited by: Alastair   Questions or Suggestions? Email us at phd32b@gmail.com

  5. EPISODE 3

    Episode 3 - Bonding

    This week, Alastair had his "ion" some interesting research that is changing the way we describe chemical bonding. From the difference between covalent and hydrogen bonds, as well as the role of electronegativity, this research is a major shift in how we think about (and teach!) bonding. (Don't worry, there is only minimal discussion of quantum mechanical calculations and density functional theory!)   https://linktr.ee/notyetadr   Edited by: Alastair   Questions or Suggestions?

    This Week in Science: Automated Carbon Bonding

    We have descended into the realm of organic chemistry where electron orbitals wander. This week Amr walks us through a newly published article in Nature describing a new way to automate making small molecule therapeutics! In an effort to make organic synthesis of molecules more accessible and automated, scientists have developed a directed 'lego' block method to build the small molecules of your dreams.   https://linktr.ee/notyetadr Edited by: Sienna Questions or Suggestions?

  7. EPISODE 4

    Episode 4 - Cells Re:Fate

    This week, our new host Amr is rethinking his choices and considering wiping the slate clean. Amr teaches us about the epigenome and how it guys our cell's trajectories and fates. He also tells about how aging effects our epigenome and describes a recently published work on how we can wipe out these age-related changes and give our cells a new chance at life!   https://linktr.ee/notyetadr   Edited by: Alastair   Questions or Suggestions?

  8. EPISODE 4 BONUS

    This Week in Science: Who’s that bacterium!?

    Something big this way comes... and it is a new species of bacteria! Thiomargarita magnifica is recently identified bacteria that lives in mangrove swamps. It's remarkable for many reasons, but perhaps most notably the fact that specimens up to 2 cm long have been found, large enough to be visible to the naked eye! We hope you enjoy learning about it as much as we did.   https://linktr.ee/notyetadr   Edited by: Amr   Questions or Suggestions? Email us at phd32b@gmail.com
