  • United States Medicine in the 1800s; Zoonotic Origin of Viruses

    Hey everyone, in this episode, I'll be going into a bit of history on how the United States handled their medical practices in the 1800s by comparison to Europe. I talk about the impact Johns Hopkins University had on the entire medical field in the United States, and then I discuss a bit on zoonotic viruses (viruses that jump from animals to humans).

  • Spices on Food that fight Cardiovascular Disease & Inflammation; Pain Perception in the Brain

    In this episode, we'll be going into a bit of research on pain perception mediated by a particular area of the brain that wasn't pegged as one related to pain. Beyond that, do spices on food reduce inflammation and cardiovascular disease? If so, which ones?

  • How much does being Overweight INCREASE Risk of Severe CoVID-19 symptoms? Why are Fit people Dying?

    In this episode, I go into two reviews discussing some of the data surrounding being overweight or obese and how much it increases risk of serious issues when dealing with CoVID-19. Also, why are fit people struggling with this infection, and what are some of the presented reasons/mechanisms?

  • Understanding Microbes and How Fungi impact Us, ft. Alex Soare

    In this episode, I had the absolute pleasure of having yet another smart scientist on the podcast. Alex Soare is on to discuss a bit of basic immunology and microbiology for the first half of the podcast, then we dive into fungi and her expertise on mucormycosis. I hope this proves as informative as I found it (considering I knew nothing about fungi).

  • How do Muscles convert Mechanical Force to Molecular signals? Well, its Confusing.

    In this episode, I'll (attempt) walk us through two papers that have tried to answer how our muscles convert mechanical force/stimulus into a molecular signal that produce change. It's definitely not concrete and you will have to bear with me, but we're slowly getting to an answer.

  • Transhumanism: Uploading our Consciousness for the Future, ft. Neuroscientist Garrett Bunce

    Hi everyone, this is a really special episode, because I had the absolute pleasure of having a super smart friend of mine come on the podcast to discuss a topic he's quite passionate about and on which knows a wealth of information. In this podcast, I discuss the topic of "Transhumanism" with Garrett Bunce. Transhumanism is moored in the idea of traveling consciousness beyond our current existence - can we "upload" our consciousness to a machine and continue our existence? If so, what hurdles are in the way and where are we in the process so far? Garrett takes it away - I hope you enjoy!
