Episode: UnDisciplined: The Microbiologist And The Marine Fisheries Ecologist
Pub date: 2019-08-20

This week on UnDisiplined, we’re joined for the second time by Karen Lloyd, whose work is helping us understand the relationship between microbes, carbon, and the deep Earth. We’ll also be joined by Marcus Drymon of Mississippi State University, a marine fisheries ecologist whose recent work has been getting a lot of attention.

Episode: UnDisciplined: The Aquatic Ecologist And The Biological Engineer
Pub date: 2019-10-20

This week on UnDisciplined, we’re talking about risk and, as we like to do, we’re coming to that idea from two very different directions. One of our guests studies aquatic predators, like sharks, in an effort to better understand their role in the global ecosystem. The other creates transgenic organisms, like goats with spider genes, in an effort to build new knowledge and solve old problems.

Episode: UnDisciplined: The Computational Pedagogist And The Undead Philosopher

This week on UnDisciplined, we’re talking about math education and … zombies? If those two things seem like they don’t have anything to do with each other, well, that’s the idea. On our show, we bring together researchers from vastly different areas of study, and we ask them to build connections. And that takes … brains. Get it?

This week on UnDisciplined, we’re talking about two ideas that fly in the face of conventional thought. One of our guests will tell us about the creatures in our gut — bacteria. The other will talk about an idea in many of our heads about how fake news impacts the political process.

This week on UnDisciplined, we’re talking to a researcher who’s demonstrated that some insects may actually benefit from pesticides. Then, we’ll chat with a string theorist who is uncoupling ideas about the universe faster than you can say “Nikulin involution.”

What if aging wasn’t inevtiable? What if being 90 felt pretty much the same as being 40, just with a few extra decades of life experience? And what if the science that gets us to that point in human history wasn’t the subject of speculative fiction — what if it was real?

This week on UnDisciplined, we’re talking about movement. Our first guest is a scientist whose research is helping us understand the ways the world’s largest animal moves its body. Our second guest is a researcher whose recent studies uncover the ways animals are moved as part of complex global trafficking networks. Frank Fish is a professor of biology and the head of the Liquid Life Lab at West Chester University in Pennsylvania. Emily Miller works at the Monterey Bay Aquarium in California,

Episode pub date: 2019-07-31

Usually on UnDisciplined, we bring together two scientists to build interdisciplinary connections — but one of the research efforts we’re talking about is already really interdisciplinary. So this week, we’re going rogue. We’re going to talk about the intersection of human nature and technology. Joining us by phone from the North Carolina Institute for Climate Studies is Scott Stevens . He was the first author on a recent paper for the bulletin of the American Meteorological Society that adds a
