Hi! We're Eva and Maria, two greek undergratuate biology students, and this is Biocause, a science podcast full of things we just learned, fun facts and pleanty of "WTF" moments... all leading to that satisfying "ohh that makes sense now" point. Sure, you could study biology from a book... but why not listen to it instead? Let's learn biology in a funnier and easier way, so the next time you catch yourself asking "why is biology so stupid?", you can join the club and say "well because... Biocause!" This podcast is going to be offered in Greek but you never know... we might switch it up 😉

    Ready, Set, Divide!

    3... 2... 1... Divide! Ever wondered how a single cell knows exactly when it's time to grow, copy its DNA, and split into two? In this episode, we're taking you on a fast-paced journey through the cell cycle, breaking down every phase—from G1 to M—without the confusing textbook jargon. Expect easy explanations, plenty of biology, and a few "wait... that's actually so cool!" moments along the way. And, as always, we've got a few fun biology facts and a quick look at what's new in the world of bioscience. Whether you're studying for an exam, refreshing your biology knowledge, or just love learning how life works, this episode proves that cell division is anything but boring.

    How to Human: Laugh Damn It!

    A new chapter of Biocause begins with a simple question: what if laughter is one of the most human things we do? In this first episode of How to Human, we dive into the biology of laughter and explore what happens inside our brains and bodies when we find something funny. Along the way, we'll discover why laughter is contagious, how it strengthens social bonds, and what it reveals about who we are as a species. After all, laughter may be more than entertainment... Ιt may be part of what makes us human.

    R.I.P.: Mission Self-Distruct

    Imagine your cell having a self-destruct button… and actually using it! This episode is all about apoptosis - the process where cells literally decide it’s their time to die. We’re breaking down how apoptosis actually helps keep the body healthy, why it’s essential for life and what happens when this mechanism stops working properly. From cancer to everyday cell renewal, this tiny biological process has way more main character energy than you’d expect! Tiny cells, huge drama, and biology that comes straight out of a mission impossible movie!

    Inherited Stories: The Thalassaimia Talk

    Thalassaimia: A word so common, and yet so misunderstood… In this episode we break down what Thalassaimia really is, how genetics play a huge role and how modern treatments are changing lives. From symptoms and blood transfusions to gene therapy and the importance of awareness, we’re talking about science, health and real life - without the boring lecture vibes

    CRB: Caffeine Rebooted Brain

    In today’s episode, we dive deep—down to the molecular level—into what coffee really contains beyond that familiar boost of energy. We explore the chemistry behind every sip and uncover the compounds that make coffee so unique. What exactly is caffeine, and how does it affect the brain? What role do antioxidants play, and why are they considered beneficial? And what gives coffee its distinctive aroma and flavor at a molecular level? We break down key components like caffeine, chlorogenic acids, lipids, and carbohydrates, explaining in simple terms how each one interacts with the human body—from energy and focus to digestion and metabolism. If you drink coffee every day (so… probably yes 😄), this episode will make you see it in a whole new way!

    Climb, Water!

    We’re back with another episode! Have you ever wondered how water moves from roots to leaves against gravity? Nope, plants don’t defy physics, they actually rely on it. In this episode, we explore water potential and break down one of nature’s most remarkable systems.

    Chaos

    Welcome to the first episode of biocause ✨️ Meet Maria & Eva, 2 chaotic biology students, who also happen to be your hosts! This week's episode is about scattering, a physical phenomenon, which terrorizes a lot of biological scientists. In this episode we learn what scattering is in a fun way, but also how we use it in biology experiments and how to avoid its plague...
