The Coffee & Science Podcast

Fats are cool, why do they matter?Get your cells on ;)

Hello everyone,This week is Karolina's interlude week. I will talk about mental health and how it personally impacted me over the last few years.Thanks for listening.

Ever wanted to know what cells eat? How do they survive? Where do they get the energy to keep things moving?Over the next three episodes, I will be covering the primary three sources of food that cells use. This will include sugars, fats, and proteins. Join me this week as I talk about sugars and how cells use them to do other things.Happy Monday, everyone,Lina

Hello friends,We are onto episode #6 of the coffee and science podcast. We're picking up right where we left off last week, Robert Brown!!Come listen to this episode and finish up with the timeline of discoveries that got us here, our time.Thank you for your support!Lina

Hello & welcome to another episode of the coffee and science podcast!This week we're talking more about cells, specifically, the cell theory and the history of how it came to be. What we know about cells is closely tied to the improvements of the microscope. This episode covers the history of the first microscopes and the scientists that were the first ones to describe various cells.Part 2 is coming next week! In the meantime, check out the visuals to this episode at https://linktr.ee/coffeeandsciencepodcast !P.S. Make sure to listen until the very end to hear some bloopers.Thank you for joining me,Karolina

Hello friends,I'm back once again! As before, interludes are more informal podcasts where I blabber about one thing or another.This week I wanted to talk about why I've been missing and my plans for the podcast.Make sure to listen to the very end for special brain fart moments.Thanks for listening,Lina

I am a firm believer that studying is a form of art. However, it took me about two years to nail down and adjust what worked best for me. In this episode, I will talk about the Pomodoro technique and note-taking with friends, which has helped me better my grades and have more free time to do things for myself and my mental health. Speaking of studying and free time, I thought it would be great to split the previous episode and the detailed version by two weeks. This will ensure that enough time has passed before your memory is triggered once again.Make sure to follow @thecoffeeandsciencepodcast on Instagram for next week's episode and the additional visuals. Happy Monday,Karolina

Transcription is the process that makes mRNA from DNA, further allowing the translation to take place. In this episode, I talk about the three stages of transcription in prokaryotes and describe the machinery directing the transcription.Go to @thecoffeeandscience podcast on Instagram for visual aidsThank you for tuning in,Happy to teach you!Karolina

Look at her, uploading two episodes this week!Today's episode is a little more informal & I talk through the reason behind the Coffee & Science podcast. Come on, press play, and listen to me rumble about my experience with science.

Hello & welcome to ep. 3,Today we're talking about an overview of the central dogma, DNA, RNA, proteins, transcription, and translation. I have provided a few examples of the DNA and its structure by utilizing basketballs as a reference. Learn about DNA and how it becomes a functional protein within your body. In addition, there are visuals uploaded to the @thecoffeeandscience Instagram page & will aid you in understanding this week's content. "Those are cute genes" ... "You are cute genes."Thanks for tuning in, Karolina References for this episode: The Genetic Code | Boundless Biology. (n.d.).
