February 18, 2021 The Science of Genetic Dominance
Mike PhD and Kevin PhD are back to discuss genetic dominance in the womb and why some predispositions can be predicted and/or verified while others cannot. As science continues to progress, will the accuracy of quantifiable predictions sharpen?
Samantha and her husband are expecting their first child this summer and it wasn't even halfway through their first trimester when they realized the experience of becoming a parent is nothing like they imagined. Endless screenings, tests, judgmental opinions from doctors, nurses and friends and essentially no resource for support. Fed up with being guilt tripped and scared, Samantha turned to the Scientists at WYSP to discuss what was actually going on with her body and her baby and quickly realized that the word "fault" should be struck from the vocabulary of any expectant parent.

January 18, 2021 Parenting: We’re not the only ones!
The response to our last episode has been overwhelming...In a good way and in a not so good way. It seems we aren’t the only ones who find Mommy Shaming and Parenting rife with negativity and a “holier than thou” tone. So what do we do when we’re not sure if it’s a rash or an allergic reaction? Should we crumble if the number one recommended bottle causes gas? And how should we share pregnancy news with a mixed bag of friends and family? Samantha has some ideas of how to get answers, be fair and not totally lose your mind and hopefully they’ll help you as well. Follow @imnachogirlfriend and @_wheniknew_ on Instagram and join us at www.wysp.us for more information.
