Last summer, something monumental happened. One of Uncuffed's founding producers, Greg Eskridge, came home after more than 30 years in prison. In this episode we’ll bring you back to that emotional day last summer when he walked out of the San Quentin gates, free at last. Our work in prisons is supported by the California Arts Council, the California Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation, independent foundations, and donations from listeners like you.

1 Enabling your best self - Professional development in science 25:49
25:49 बाद में चलाएं बाद में चलाएं सूचियाँ पसंद पसंद25:49
बाद में चलाएं बाद में चलाएं सूचियाँ पसंद पसंदIf you work in science then you are already highly skilled – very highly skilled. That doesn't necessarily mean there is no room to develop yourself though. It could be that you want to prepare for the next career move, brush-up on the latest technique or even concentrate on 'soft' skills. Whatever it might be, there will always be a demand for highly skilled individuals - and the good news is that if you want to develop yourself, you are not alone. But where to start - well, there is no better place than professional bodies and learned societies. So, to get to the bottom of what is on offer and how to go about all this I spoke to Jessica Evans and Katie Dryden-Holt from the Royal Society of Chemistry. We touch on why you should be thinking of continuing your professional development, how to get help and why technicians especially should be afforded every opportunity to take advantage of CPD.

1 Medicinal rollercoasters and life-saving bras - It's the Ig Nobel Prizes with Marc Abrahams 19:27

बाद में चलाएं बाद में चलाएं सूचियाँ पसंद पसंदI spoke to Marc Abrahams , founder of the barmy-but-brilliant Ig Nobel Prizes – which every year honour discoveries which make people laugh and then think. But don't confuse this with simply poking fun at science - it's clear that Marc ultimately cares deeply about tweaking the publics interest in science, medicine and technology. He just thinks that using humour is the best way to do this... and who could disagree? With former prize winners including the inventor of a bra that turns into a face mask, the team behind work on why wombats do square poo, the medic who figured out which rollercoasters are best for dislodging kidney stones and many, many more – he is clearly on to something. We spoke, among other things, about the prize itself, why it is important, why science is taught wrongly and why surprise is key to all this.…

I managed to interrupt her busy training schedule – she is due to launch for NASA expedition 64 in a few weeks – to talk space microbiomes, growing cells in microgravity and, well, lots of other fan-boy space questions!…

बाद में चलाएं बाद में चलाएं सूचियाँ पसंद पसंदSocial distancing is still the main way we have of fending off Covid-19. It has been hard and very costly to the economy, but amazingly we are not the only creatures to do this. I spoke to Disease Ecologist Dr Julia Buck , Assistant Professor at the University of North Carolina Wilmington, about the idea that however unnatural social distancing may feel to people, it is very much a part of the natural world. But the way in which animals do this is really fascinating. We also spoke about the instincts within us that lead to social aversions... instincts we would mainly feel as disgust. Julia has published her work on this in Science here . We also touched on the controversial topic of the link between biodiversity and disease risk.…

Its only a bloomin' party episode! And what makes a party really tick? Why music and alcohol of course... Good thing then that in this episode I am joined by a cognitive neuroscientist come musician who thinks he has found the capacity to detect rhythm in non-human mammals AND a scientific equipment supplier who claim their kit can make gin so good, it'll knock your socks off... Dr Alexandre Celma-Miralles is a researcher at Aarhus University in Denmark deeply interested in how the human brain integrates many different types of stimuli to recognise and react to rhythm. In an effort to find out how deep in our evolution rhythm can be tracked, he decided to find out if rats recognise auditory input using melody or rhythm. And he did it using a rather familiar tune... His paper on this is here: https://link.springer.com/article/10.3758/s13423-020-01739-2 Duncan Rowe is the product manager for the Milestone range of equipment for the lab supply company Analytix . He tells us how the company found itself using equipment designed largely for sample-preparation to make gin. But is it any good? There is only one way to find out, so have a listen to find out exactly how drunk I get by the end of the podcast...…

बाद में चलाएं बाद में चलाएं सूचियाँ पसंद पसंदSomething of a double-header for you in this episode. I spoke to a physicist who managed to create an incredibly rare and exotic state of matter from her living room during lockdown, AND a geneticist who thinks she can strike medical gold using hibernating animals. Dr Amruta Gadge is a research fellow at the University of Sussex based at the Quantum Systems and Devices Laboratory. She decided not to let lockdown stand in the way of groundbreaking physics as she managed to create a Bose-Einstein Condensate (BEC) - considered to be the fifth state of matter. We spoke about how this was even possible, what a BEC is, if we can make any use of it and we got briefly lost in quantum weirdness... Dr Katie Grabek is a medical geneticist and computational biologist and is one of the 3 female founders of Fauna Bio. She is an expert in hibernation - which, I was surprised to learn is an incredibly hazardous thing for animals to go through. They have evolved protective mechanisms to stave off heart attacks, metabolic problems and many other issues. So, wonders Katie, can we learn how they do that and use that knowledge to make human medicines?…

बाद में चलाएं बाद में चलाएं सूचियाँ पसंद पसंदThere is, of course, so much coverage of Covid-19 at the moment I wasn't sure if it was worth yet another conversation... boy, was I wrong. The brilliant Dr Sarah Pitt - Virologist at the University of Brighton and Chief Virology Examiner at the Institute of Biomedical Science – has so much to say on our response to this. The testing, the vaccine, the immune response and the biology of the virus itself - this was one of the more eye-opening conversations I have had in 15 years of science journalism. Have we got track and trace all wrong? Will the virus evolve to be more benign over time? Has the PCR testing been reliable? Will there ever be a vaccine? I'd definitely suggest listening to the whole thing, but if you want to skip to a point of interest quickly there is a time stamp of the topics we cover below. Time stamp: Dr Sarah Pitt interview starts - 5.30 Our immune response - 8.30 Setting up testing superlabs - 10.50 Is regional difference in diagnosis down to different PCR tests? - 13.00 Has this damaged sciences' reputation? - 16.00 Track and trace, have we got it wrong? - 19.00 Vaccines - how long will it take? - 20.25 Is coronavirus now endemic in humans? - 23.20 Will it evolve to be less deadly? - 25.00 Links: Do you know what happens to your sample IBMS videos Dr Sarah Pitt's article about SARS-Cov2 and influenza virus…
