Episode: UnDisciplined: The Tropical Ecologist And The Microbiologist
Episode pub date: 2019-05-24

This week on UnDisciplined, we’re talking about scientific puzzles. For instance, why is it that hundreds of tree species can exist within a single acre of rainforest, but the same species is almost never found next to itself? Or, here’s another one: Why is it that individual animals from the same species — dogs, for instance — can exhibit such tremendously different traits when it comes to aggressiveness?

Episode: UnDisciplined: The Paleontologist And The Atmospheric Scientist
Episode pub date: 2019-08-09

For more than a year now, we’ve been bringing together researchers from different disciplines in our never-ending search to build interdisciplinary connections. That’s a lot of researchers, who are all doing a lot of really fascinating work — but we haven’t had a paleontologist on our program yet. So today, that’s going to change. Joining us today is Javier Luque , a postdoctoral fellow in the department of geology and geophysics at Yale University. He was the leader of an international team of

Episode: UnDisciplined: The Climate Scientist And The Cancer Biologist
Episode pub date: 2019-06-07

This week on UnDisciplined, we’re talking to researchers on two sides of a huge scientific challenge. Our first guest researches climate — that means she only has one test subject to work with: the Earth. Our second guest studies cancer, which presents differently in humans and other organisms. That means she has endless test subjects.

Episode: UnDisciplined: The Cognitive Anthropologist And The Research Surgeon
Episode pub date: 2019-05-03

Our world often seems to be really divided, particularly across cultures in which everyone seems to play by different rules. But today we’re going to hear from a researcher who believes there are actually seven universal moral rules that have been embraced by pretty much every society. Then, we’ll chat with a pediatric surgeon who has identified a significant warning sign for patients who may have difficulty with addiction if they’re prescribed painkillers after surgery. Joining us from the

Episode pub date: 2019-04-05

This week on UnDisciplined, we’re talking about some pretty scary things. First, we’re going to chat about the way global warming is impacting the world’s fisheries and — spoiler alert — it isn’t good. Then, we’re going to talk about what happens when small vertebrates go to war with really big invertebrates and — another spolier alert — it’s the stuff of nightmares. Joining us from the University of California at Santa Barbara is Chris Free , who was part of a team of researchers whose recent
