Hype-othesis

We’re back! This episode is about sickness in the brain. We talk about why you want to stay in bed when you’re sick, how inflammation can be involved in mood disorders and how Covid-19 can affect your brain.

In this episode, we're joined by a very special guest, Miruna! We talk about glycosylation (adding sugars to molecules) and its role in the microbiome, immunology and cancer.

This week we talk about the circadian rhythm, our natural body clock! We discuss how it works, the impact it has on our mood and health and why we should spend more time in the sun to keep our clocks in time!(Apologies for the clicking noise that's sometimes present when Cillian speaks in this episode!).

Lace up those Docs, plop a big beret on your head and don a toga because we're talking about philosophy (of science to be exact). In this episode we talk about the philosophy of science with our very first guest Matthew!!! What is science? Can we trust scientific theories? Is science a social construct?

This week we talk about cancer: what it is, how it evolves and how we can treat it.

In this episode Amandine talks about how gene expression is controlled at many different levels in the cell. Gene expression is highly regulated in cells to make sure genes are only expressed when and where they're needed to keep everything running smoothly... and so that you don't grow a brain in your leg

Adjuvants: what are they and why is Cillian obsessed with them? They are particularly important in cancer vaccines and vaccines against some of the more complex pathogens, but that’s just the beginning!

This week we talk about some of the techniques used in cell biology! Ever wonder how that discovery was made? Maybe now you'll know (or maybe not lol). We talk about mutagenesis studies, microscopy, the famous PCR, flow cytometry and ELISA!

This week we talk about co-evolution including the evolution of the immune system, pollination and bats (which are even cooler than you think 🦇)
