Tonight we had a special interview with Dr. Sheila Jaswal and Allison Randy-Cofie ‘19 of Amherst College who shared their experiences with a new initiative called Humans in STEM. Dr. Jaswal of the department of Chemistry and Megan Lyster, Asst Dir, Innovation & Experiential Learning Programs at the Center for Community Engagement have developed a curriculum aimed at exploring how students and faculty can better serve the full human experience of learning in STEM fields. The course aims to develop ways to increase diversity and support traditionally underserved student populations in STEM fields. A similar course has been developed at Yale University and will hopefully spread out to institutions throughout the country.

This show is dedicated to the memory of my little black cat, Meara, who passed on Friday afternoon. Tonight we’re talking animal stories. First off, a beluga who has learned to mimic or even potentially communicate with dolphins. Bees turn out to sometimes have a left or right handed preference. And life was lonely and dangerous for male mammoths. We then take a quick look at whether or not the dimetrodon that we all know and love has been depicted with the correct leg stance. We’ll then go back to living animals to talk about a new form of predation called kleptopredation and discuss the weird way in which shrews survive the harsh conditions of winter and also talk about a fish that can repair the damage to its brain from freezing in winter. Then we’ll talk about how baby bats learn to talk and how that might apply to humans. And finally, we take a moment to remember another great animal, Laika, the first animal to enter low earth orbit.

Tonight we're talking about scary stories for the Halloween season. First we'll talk about whether you should really be taking that Vitamin B supplement, point out an actual evil of Monsanto and DuPont and talk about Capitalism vs. Science. We'll discuss just how much we can tell from a new study on German insects and then dive into two stories about blood and finish up with a description of the "gates of hell" in Turkmenistan and the tale of two local witches! Stay safe this Halloween! Science Responsibly!

This week we start out with a few announcements. After that we start the night by revisiting a story from last week and find that Viking script may not have been found on ribbons from a burial site - This is a great lesson in skepticism and confirmation bias. Next I give my opinion on the case against the Bladensburg Peace Cross. Then we have a couple of stories related to evolution, talk about a breakthrough in finding some of the missing matter in the universe, take a second to talk about the fact that scientists can now prove that alligators occasionally eat sharks, discuss dogs facial expressions in response to human notice, and lament the latest attack on basic science by Rand Paul.

Tonight we start with a soapbox reflection on prison workers and then on to science with a look at the Nocebo effect, potential mushroom bodies in Mantis Shrimp, salty Australian birds, calm some fears about the Yellowstone super volcano, and then return to a favorite subject- archeology with two stories: a newly deciphered text describing a mysterious people that may or may not be authentic and a new discovery of Arabic script on several Viking grave garments.

Special interview with Patricia O'Hara and Richard Blatchly, co-authors (with Zeynep Delen) of The Chemical Story of Olive Oil: From Grove to Table. We talk about the origin and production of olive oil, how to choose a good oil with special attention to reading the label, and the health benefits of regular consumption. Pat and Rich share their stories of traveling the world and getting to the heart of this chemical gem that has been prized by humans for thousands of years.
