Hello dear listener, here it comes the second part of a story about the fact that, at Xmas time, people, especially those usually inclined to generosity, donate less often and less money to charity than the rest of the year. And the reason of that is explained here (nope dude, it's not something related to the Grinch, nor to bad eggnog hangovers, and yes, it's quite absurd to publish the second part of a Xmas episode closer to Valentine's day than to Christmas itself...).

Here's the script: https://www.sciencemug.com/2020/01/of-charity-experimental-economics.html

Ciaz&enjoy!

Oh hallo dear listener, this is the first episode of the "Weird patent series", a space, as the name suggests, dedicated to the most absurd things you humans have patented, invented, thought. An episode like this will be published every once in a while. In this very one, I'm telling you not one, but two patents filed to cover the invention of a diaper for birds. Yeah, you read it right, you're not hallucinating. Aren't you humans something?

Hello dear listener, here we go with a delicious story about environment, food and... bugs. Basically: "wanna help saving the world? Eat bugs!". Ahhh, who doesn't dream a juicy meal worm burger? Can you see a future when there is a new giant, in the business of fast food: McCricket? Well, apparently someone can, more or less.

But, hey, jokes aside, there's solid science on the plate (uh, pun!).

Hallo dear listener, today October 21st, in 1833, Alfred Nobel is born. He's famous 'cause, in the XIX the century, he was the guy everybody wanted at their parties since he was a blast, had always explosive pieces of gossip and told hilarious cracking jokes. Oh, he's also the dude who invented dynamite. And he who created a prize you may have heard of. Here the script of the episode about Nobel's life, inventions and prize: https://www.sciencemug.com/2019/10/happy-birthday-alfred-nobel-aka-mr.html

Ooh hello dear listener, in this episode I'll tell you the 3d and final part of the story about three scientists who put at sleep the legend according to which there are 10 bugs in/on humans for each human cell. You'll get to know how the story ends (no spoiler here) and why those three researchers decided to investigate this particular topic instead something else, like, well, the physics behind a certain president haircut... The script (plus the micro-interview to one of the researchers, Dr. Fuchs) is here: https://www.sciencemug.com/2016/07/bacteria-vs-human-cells-1-to-1-final.html Ciao!

Ooooh, hello dear listener, this is the story of Aspirin's creation! It's a mix of chemistry, mystery, history, suspense, a guilty butler with a beaker in the laboratory, Nazism, smuggled drugs aaaaaand the usual nonsense coming from the dumb pseudo-brain of this podcast. Enjoy! (Ok, ok, the butler was too much... But the rest is there!)
