His work ranges from studying the process by which embryos form to how life evolved into all the different types of animals on Earth. In this interview, Nate learns how Charles Darwin and Alfred Wallace arrived at one of the most influential and important ideas in history – Evolution.
Dianna Cowern is better known as Physics Girl on youtube. And her videos are filled with amazing experiments that you can try at home. Dianna joins Nate to talk about Albert Einstein, Sir Isaac Newton and everyday physics. They try to figure out how these two physicists came up with so many fascinating equations. Along the way, Nate tells Dianna about an equation of his own that he has been working on.
We just moved and my dad needed some time to setup the podcast studio at our new house. While he was doing that, I was playing in my new backyard! But now we’re back with a new episode of The Show About Science. Today on the podcast, Corinne Kendall joins me to talk about vultures. Corinne oversees all of the research done on zoo animals at the North Carolina Zoo and she also does international conservation work focused on education and anti-poaching efforts in Africa. These scavenging birds of prey are amazing, so get prepared to learn a whole bunch of cool vulture facts.
The Domestic Nuclear Detection Office is a small department within Homeland Security with a big mission to protect the public from nuclear terrorism. DNDO is composed of scientists, military, former law enforcement, and policy analysts and their work requires a lot of science! In this episode, Nate talks to the Director of DNDO, Dr. Huban Gowadia, about radiation, radioactive bananas, Albert Einstein and how scientists solve crimes.
If you’ve ever wanted to know how to catch an alligator, this is the podcast you’ve been waiting for. In this episode of The Show About Science, Nate talks to Adam Rosenblatt, a Postdoctoral Associate at Yale University and alligator expert. Adam’s research focuses on the ecological roles of top predators and the impacts of climate change on predator-prey interactions and ecosystem dynamics.
There’s two very exciting days in the month of April. One is my birthday and the other is Earth Day. So in honor of Earth Day later this month, I interviewed my friend Rick Zultner from Terracycle. Terracycle is developing new ways to recycle more than just paper, glass, plastic and aluminum. In this episode, Rick talks about how recycling works, the benefits of composting and answers the question “what is a nurdle?”. Happy Earth Day from The Show About Science!
This is the 13th episode of The Show About Science, and people with triskaidekaphobia might be afraid to listen. Triskaidekaphobia is an extreme superstition regarding the number 13. In this episode, I talk to Stuart Vyse, a behavioral scientist, teacher, and writer. Stuart explains the science behind superstitions and phobias – so don’t be afraid to press play. A big big thanks to my Mom for recording this episode. “Triskaidekaphobia” by Jimmy Sutton’s Four Charms is available at http://www.histylerecords.com/four-charms/
In this episode of The Show About Science, Nate talks to Stephanie Findlay about bats. You’ll be amazed at how little you know about these amazing nocturnal creatures. Stephanie is a masters student at the University of Calgary studying bat biology under Dr. Robert Barclay. Ebola, the evolution of bats, vampire bats, dog sized bats – this episode has it all. Get ready to dig into some serious bat biology!
