Lefteris asks science

Greetings fellow humans. This week in quarantine I ask questions to Dr. Samantha Montano about disaster management. Trying to find out, how do people deal with catastrophes, disaster and... global pandemics.

And we're back with another interview this week. This time I had questions about humanities and social science. Specifically i called Prof. Anjeline De Dios and we talked about cultural geography; geographies of cultural labour; creative and cultural industries; and a bit of Filipino history. 

A different episode before we continue with more interviews.  Using my work during the PhD I go through the steps of the scientific method, An important step in the understanding of how scientists work. Knowing this will help the cross referencing of news and a better understanding as to why you shouldn't say "It's just a theory" 

In this episode I meet Dr. Angela Tam who wants to create robot physicians. We talk about her work in the use of machine learning to identify patients that will develop Alzheimer's disease in the next 3 years based on MRI and their cognitive tests.

In this episode,  I rang a nuclear physicist to answer all the questions I had after watching the series Chernobyl.  What is nuclear power? What's the problem with using it? Can we do something to solve the problems? Dr. Thanos Stamatopoulos helps me answer all these questions.

In this episode we had a coffee with neuroscientist Dr. Joanes Grandjean  and we discussed about depression, Alzheimer's disease and how his work helps us understand how the brain works.
