Jumping into #Scitember (@neuro_melody) with a fun podcast episode that's all about the science in your favorite #scifi books, games, and RPGs! Join me, @James_Reed3 of @SciNightPod, and Maura Lydon for this nerdy adventure! spotifyanchor-web.app.link/e…
What does your brain have in common with water, earthquakes, and maybe even society itself? Tune in to learn about criticality, an idea from physics that could explain how the brain is able to take in so much information and even why we need sleep!

Last April the All of Us group made a splash for using the UMAP algorithm to group genomes of their study participants by race. Here I talk with
@KordingLab, Will Lima & @BankOnJake
about what UMAP is and whether/when scientists should use it.
You can read the All of Us paper and the original UMAP paper on the In Plain English website: inplainenglishpod.org/2024/1…
And see for yourself how UMAP works here: koerding.github.io/umap-web-…
TOMORROW In Plain English is resurrecting the debate about the All of Us project and their use of UMAP, an algorithm that reduces complex data to 2D. Join us to learn why this mathematical model sparked discourse, & how scientists can better analyze & communicate large data sets.

I hope reviewer 3 appreciates that I am coming into lab at 3:30am today to get a critical revision experiment time point 😴
open.spotify.com/episode/6KA… In the 50s, babies born a month early struggled to breathe. Now viability is 26 weeks. How did this happen? Listen to Dr. Dr. Abada recount how her grandfather helped discover a treatment that reduced infant mortality &helped premature infants breathe.
You won't want to miss this story of family, scientific curiosity, and perseverance. More information here: inplainenglishpod.org/2024/1…
Hey y'all. I know we're all feeling a lot after the election, so I wanted to share a small clip of this week's upcoming episode to give everyone a bit of hope and positivity. I hope you take a listen, and I'll see you on Tuesday with the full interview. Take care of each other <3
It was so fun to record this podcast with Will! We cover so much about scientific #rigor, how to evaluate and improve our #SciComm efforts, and how to combat disinformation posing as science. Check it out!
New Episode of the ReproducibiliTea Podcast!
Will Ngiam is joined by Jamie Moffa, a doctoral student in systems neuroscience. Jamie has been thinking and working in the science communication space, especially via the @PlainEnglishSci podcast.

Do police target Black drivers for traffic stops? Finding an answer is more difficult than you'd think! Listen to this episode of In Plain English to learn how some economists have tried to approach this problem.

Earlier this summer at #NAPainSchool, I interviewed @JessicaMerlinMD about her career path, her research in chronic pain of #HIV patients, & her current passion of providing palliative care in addiction treatment. @PainResForum @IASPpain @NAPainSchool

Reproducing experiments ensures accurate results. @KordingLab of @pennbioeng cofounded @comm4rigor to tackle the "reproducibility crisis." Supported by the NIH, C4R creates materials on rigorous research. Hear Kording on the @PlainEnglishSci podcast: bit.ly/3xSt9ap

If you have ever wondered whether top-down standards for success aren't the whole story, you're not alone! Listen to @kss_phd kick butt at our live recording with @PlainEnglishSci!

We had a great time hearing @arjunrajlab think about the complex relationships between incentives and solutions at our recording of Rigor in Plain English with @PlainEnglishSci!

This has actually happened and is now out.
A few things.
First, don’t expect fireworks here, this is a very science focused episode not a brawl between @hubermanlab and myself. This was an opportunity to utilize his platform to accurately convey the state of cannabis science.
New Huberman Lab podcast out now:
CANNABIS: EFFECTS ON HEALTH & RISKS w/guest @canna_brain
•THC, CBD Biology
•Cannabis & Psychosis
•Is THC addictive?
•Are Strain Differences Real or Placebo?
•Appetite, Hormones
•Dosage Control: Inhaled vs Edible
