Spex Speaks Science

It has only been in the last century that the contributions of women in science, engineering, technology and mathematics have been recognized. The first Nobel prize awarded to woman occurred in 1903. For hundreds of years women have contributed to science without the same accolades and laurels given their male counterparts.

In this podcast, we will take a look at some of the historical women in science and take a closer look at their lives and discoveries.

The highest amounts of chocolate sales in the US are for Valentine’s Day (and the second highest sales are for the bargain hunters on February 15th!). Worldwide there are over $400 million dollars of chocolate sales for Valentine’s Day. The chocolate we consume is part of a long process heavily dependent on chemistry. From the harvest to the consumption, chemistry plays a role in how chocolate is formed, feels, smells, tastes and is perceived.

In this podcast, we look at the art and chemistry of chocolate.

Pesticides are now a daily part of our world, from the anti-bacterial soaps we use to the commercial pesticides that are applied to our food. Despite the fact that the chemical age of pesticides has just skyrocketed in the last decade, the use of pesticides has been thousands of years in development.

In this podcast, we look at the development of modern pesticides and how those pesticides are function as pest management. We will examine the function, targets and operation of chemical pesticides and their uses in modern pest control.
