A triweekly podcast from the internationally tolerated biologist and writer Aaron Agostini. Every third week I harass someone I know and they are not allowed to leave because the doors are LOCKED.

    Liz "Lizard" Maxwell

    Supplemental Figures | Ep. 6: Liz In a loose, comedic studio chat, the host welcomes British guest Liz Maxwell and riffs on names (Liz vs “Lizard”), niche Bible baby names, and a “Standard Deviation” would-you-rather (blind vs colorblind) that spirals into a mistaken Helen Keller/Anne Frank bit and discussion of misattributed quotes. They joke about cocaine pollution affecting fish behavior, guns and accidents, TSA scans, smuggled weed, and TSA mistaking bath bombs/powders. Liz shares current joys and struggles including Pokémon Go (favorite Litten), gym injuries, and how science has worsened her anxiety and social skills, balanced by creative hobbies. The episode includes rapid-fire “Peer Review” accept/reject items and ends with “Supplemental Figures,” where Liz cites a waiter who applauded her finishing a huge meal, and the host cites a kind bus driver who helped them get home amid fear of bats, before plugging an “I love women” sticker and contact info.

    Leah's Thoughts on Getting Hit By a Car

    Supplemental Figures | Ep. 5: Leah Leah is a real human person who exists and does research in the same department as everyone in the world, and yet, she has no last name. Leah is a beautiful person inside and out (do not tell her I said that), a ray of sunshine that brings distruction and spilled molasses in her wake. We do eat on camera, DO NOT be weird about it. One day we will both live out or dreams of becoming codependent landlords. MWAH 💋💋💋💕 Kraft Paper Stickers: Buy a sticker to fund the Myki fare for my next guest.

    Maddy Grupper and Therapy and Dragons

    Supplemental Figures | Ep. 4: Maddy Grupper The greatest bond in this world is being from New Jersey. I met Maddy on a back alley on a Tuesday, where she threw so much money at me, so quickly (she's buff), that I had no choice but to finish my sweet baby rays barbecue sunchips and sally up for an adventure. We talk about PhDs, Dreams, lack of dreams, the criplling fear of dying alone, 9/11, Journaling, Therapy, and of course, Dragons. We also spot three (3) rainbows.

    Trish Koh Speaks the Truth

    Supplemental Figures | Ep. 3: Trish Koh Trish Koh has been nothing but kind to me, and all I do is harass her within an inch of her life. She has the smile of a sunny day, the heart of a river, and a head of hair that makes you say: "woah". In this episode, we discuss animal ethics, talking to children in public, and marriage equality (briefly). Trish does not describe herself as a natural performer, but I firmly believe she couldn't be more wrong. Kraft Paper Stickers: Buy a sticker to fund the Myki fare for my next guest.

    Rules of Engagement

    Welcome to Supplemental Figures, a conversational interview series where we trade the rigid objectivity of academia for the fleeting beauty of the people behind the data. In a research paper, "supplemental figures" are the extra pieces of information deemed non-critical for the main text, yet essential to include. This podcast addresses a gap I noticed while competing in the University of Melbourne 3MT Grand Finals: science often scrubs the "human" element away until researchers are unrecognizable. Hosted by Aaron Agostini ---- a PhD researcher in the School of Biosciences, writer, and former haunted Christmas store employee ---- this show is an invitation to be silly, fun, and unsupervised. Each episode features researchers and creatives discussing their personal lives and support networks (their own supplemental figures) rather than just their raw results. Expect deep dives into the irrational, absurd, and full of a third thing. This is a space where being statistically insignificant is finally a good thing. 🩸✍️ buy a sticker here: https://ko-fi.com/s/4514bcff95 linktree: https://linktr.ee/supplementalfigures
