Ask Science Dude http://asksciencedude.info Sat, 31 Mar 2012 22:54:28 +0000 en hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3.1 no Podcast Episode 23 : When Scientists Do Experiments on Themselves http://asksciencedude.info/podcast-episode-23-when-scientists-do-experiments-on-themselves http://asksciencedude.info/podcast-episode-23-when-scientists-do-experiments-on-themselves#comments Fri, 03 Jun 2011 01:17:57 +0000 Angry Hippie http://asksciencedude.info/?p=205 In this episode, Sinead and the Angry Hippie discuss a famous essay by JBS Haldane, who was a really important mathematician and biologist and who did many – some would say too many – experiments on himself. The essay, ‘On being one’s own rabbit’ takes us and our listeners on a journey of discovery as we explore Haldane and others who have done experiments on themselves through the ages. Our discussion winds its way from Santorio Santorio, the man who suggested that scientists should do experiments to test their hypotheses, down to the Bellybutton Biodiversity Project and the bacteria that cover our bodies (or more specifically, those that inhabit our bellybuttons)! As always, we hope that you enjoy this creative and informative look at science as much as we did putting it together.

We even air our grievances with the Bones crew for having a character on their show recently called Science Dude?!? There is even some ranty goodness as Sinead discusses a paper that we recently published that called out those ‘lazy’ scientists working to cure diseases like cancer for not working seven days a week! It’s a fun and laugh filled dialog on our side for sure, one that we hope is contagious.

There’s a nice national carbon calculator for the UK

Ig Nobels:

Bat fellatio!

Slime mold eats Tokyo!


Where’s the Passion?
