Podcast: The Black Goat (LS 42 · TOP 2% what is this?)
Episode: Talk the Talk
Pub date: 2019-10-30

Academics give a lot of talks. Job talks, conference talks, colloquium talks, brownbag talks, pub talks. In this episode we talk about talks. How do you approach different audiences and formats? How do you manage a format or audience where interrupting with questions is the norm? How, and how much, do you prepare for different kinds of talks? How do you handle nerves when the stakes feel high? We share some of our own observations and experiences about giving academic presentations. Plus: We answer a letter about how “alt-acs” are perceived within academia.

The Black Goat is hosted by Sanjay Srivastava, Alexa Tullett, and Simine Vazire.

Podcast: Big Picture Science (LS 58 · TOP 0.5% what is this?)
Episode: For Good Measure
Pub date: 2019-09-09

The reign of Le Grand K has come to an end. After 130 years, this hunk of metal sitting in a Parisian vault will no longer define the kilogram. The new kilogram mass will be defined by Planck’s constant, joining three other units for redefinition by fundamental constants.  But as we measure with increasing precision – from cesium atomic clocks to gravitational wave detectors able to measure spacetime distortions to 1/1000th the width of a proton – is something fundamental lost along the way?  Meanwhile, the BiPiSci team accepts the banana-measurement challenge.

Guests:

• Jon Pratt – Mechanical engineer and engineer and Chief of the Quantum Measurement Division of the Physical Measurement Laboratory (PML) at the National Institute of Standards and Technology
• Wolfgang Ketterle – Physicist at MIT, Nobel Laureate
• Simon Winchester – Author of “The Perfectionists: How Precision Engineers Created the Modern World”

Episode: 42: Productivity and the Color Green
Pub date: 2020-09-08

https://www.usefulscience.org/podcast/42

More people are working from home than ever before. These lifestyle changes can meaningfully impact productivity, stress, and mental health. For example, researchers found that merely thinking that your employer expects you to monitor work email during nonwork hours can ramp up anxiety and harm romantic relationships.

Show Notes

• Pressure to answer work emails during non-work hours negatively affected employees’ health, and decreased the relationship satisfaction of both the employee and their significant other.
• Briefly looking at the color green before working on a creative task (such as coming up with unusual uses for common objects) increased creativity.

Podcast: The Story Collider (LS 58 · TOP 0.5% what is this?)
Episode: Saving Dad: Stories about fathers who needed a helping hand
Pub date: 2020-06-19

This week we present two stories about people who sprung to action to help a dad.

Part 1: To cheer up her ailing father, Victoria Ruiz decides to smuggle a turtle into his hospital room.

Part 2: Stacey Bader Curry finally meets a nice guy — the only catch is, he needs a liver.

Dr. Victoria Ruiz is an Assistant Professor in Biology at St. Francis College and Adjunct Assistant Professor at NYU Langone medical center. She obtained her PhD in Pathobiology from Brown University, and she completed her postdoctoral work at New York University Langone Medical Center. Her primary research focuses on the effects of environmental perturbations of microbial communities on host immunity. In addition to research, she is passionate about increasing equity and inclusion in STEM and developing new and innovative pedagogical strategies to improve learning outcomes for undergraduate students interested in pursuing STEM fields.

Stacey Bader Curry has a BA in art history and political science from Rutgers University. Naturally, she began her career by selling laboratory equipment at Weill Cornell Medical College. She now sells apartments but can still get you a good deal on a centrifuge. Stacey is also a writer and storyteller and has appeared on PBS’ Stories From the Stage, Yum’s the Word with Mo Rocca, and has won several Moth slams, including a Grand Slam. Stacey lives in Manhattan with her four children, husband, a dog named Pip, and cases of powder-free nitrile gloves.

Episode: When Ignorance is Bliss – Emily Ho
Pub date: 2020-06-09

Why do some of us choose to remain ignorant of information that – though perhaps unpleasant – could help us make better informed decisions in the future?
