Ep. 185 How to Make a Drug Pt 2: Libraries and Design
21 Aug 2023
00:58:55
On this second episode about drug discovery, we discuss small molecule drug libraries and the challenges behind rational design! Don't know what that means? Tune in to find out!
Hey everyone! Today's episode is about getting into the nitty gritty of drug discovery. We often benefit from the research and development that goes into the creation of drugs we use to treat illnesses without really understanding what goes into that process. In this first part, we will discuss how you conceptually begin the process.
Ep. 175 The Norfolk Southern Environmental Trainwreck
27 Mar 2023
00:43:10
In February, a train was partially derailed while carrying a number of chemicals. The subsequent attempt at containment resulted in the release of many thousands of gallons of these chemicals. What were those chemicals? What are the risks involved in their release?
Ep. 89 Fusion Power Part 2 -- Even More 30 Years Away?!
22 Mar 2021
00:48:08
Last episode we discussed the basics of plasma, fusion power, and a design called the tokamak. This week we dive into some of the dark horse fusion power plant designs that are hoping to reach the power in -- power out breakeven point faster than ITER and the other tokamaks, designs like the stellarator, z-pinch, and more!
Featuring a promo for Play Comics Podcast, a pod about comic book universes and games based off them!

15 Mar 2021
00:52:24
Fusion power has been just beyond the horizon for 60 years -- when are we going to get there?! Join us as we learn the fundamentals of how fusion power works! In this part 1, we also discuss a specific fusion plant design, the tokamak! Next time we'll discuss some other designs.
Featuring a promo for The Jury Room Podcast!
Ep. 87 Endometriosis
08 Mar 2021
00:50:13
Coincidentally, March is Endometriosis Awareness Month! Maybe up to 10% of women ages 15-50 have endometriosis (over 170 million people worldwide), with a staggering array of potential symptoms (and a variety of severities). Due to its complexity and our long history of sexism in science and medicine, endometriosis is something we still have a lot to learn about, but we cover a lot of what we do know in this week's episode, so that you can know it too!
*Special Note* This episode contains a trailer for an upcoming series of episodes on the True Crime podcast Riddle Me That -- the trailer contains mentions of pretty disturbing stuff, so we want listeners to be aware that it is there -- it is in the episode from the 17:00 to 19:30 minute mark.
Wine! A fermented fruit drink that now has a mind bogglingly large market with bigtime cultural impact. But is wine actually as complex as winemakers and sommeliers say? Is there a scientific basis to whatever 'terrior' is? What are organic and biodynamic wines? Sulfites?! SULFITES!?
Aside from the trailer mentioned above, this episode also features a promo for Talking Bugs, an interview podcast with entomologists!

Last episode we discussed the history of antibiotics and alluded to RESISTANCE, the ability of bacteria to adapt to antibiotics to the point where the drugs aren't effective anymore. This is a huge, global problem, one that requires changes in policy and individual behavior, but all that other stuff is for some other time -- we're going to talk about the science of antibiotic resistance and what sorts of things scientists are cooking up to try to fight back!

Tens of thousands of organs are transplanted each year in the US alone, but this big number of transplantations still falls short of the need: many people remain on the waitlist for organs and a number of people pass away while waiting for an organ. This week, Nathan and Sean discuss some of the near-future options for the supply side of the organ situation. What is xenotransplantation? How can we reduce the odds of rejection while increasing supply of useable organs? Find out this week!

Our first episode ever was about the microbiome, all the little bacteria and fungi and other folks living on and inside of us. While maybe you might not have heard of the microbiome, you've probably heard of stuff that is *supposed* to help the microbiome -- things like prebiotics and probiotics, which are often advertised as good for your gut health. Is that real? What is the science there?

It is probably going to be a while before we can *totally* stop using things like jet fuel and diesel, but they are both non-renewable *and* leave a carbon footprint. WHAT'RE WE GONNA DO?
Biofuels could help! Depending on how they're made, they could end up being carbon neutral, or have a smaller footprint than regular fuel. On top of that, they'll be renewable! But how do they work? Do we have biofuels already in our gas tanks?

In the European Union alone over 9 million tons of cheese are consumed every year. 9 MILLION TONS! And hey, per capita the United States is second place behind EU denizens, consuming a mere 37 pounds of cheese per person per year. Anyway, what is cheese? How is it made? Why does milk have nanoparticles in it? All this and more on this first episode of a two parter on cheese! I know, I can't believe we had to cut an episode on cheese in two.

Solar? Only good during the daytime. Wind?! What about the BIRDS!? How about a renewable energy source deep beneath our feet, Geothermal Power! Tongue-in-cheek dissing on other power sources aside, geothermal is a kind of renewable energy that hasn't been discussed in the public eye as much as solar and wind, even though it has successfully been powering homes in the US and abroad for decades. Can this power source be deployed in areas outside of geothermal hot spots? How does it make electricity from ground-hotness? Find out in this episode!

Ep. 69 Gut Ulcers! (And Stress?)
02 Nov 2020
00:42:52
This episode is about peptic ulcers, the ulcers of your stomach and duodenum. For a long time they were considered to be linked to stress, but that idea fell a little out of favor when H. pylori bacteria were discovered as a major causative agent for gastritis. But in more recent years, stress and its connection to peptic ulcers are making a bit of a comeback!

While science and medicine have come a long way over the centuries, there are still illnesses that cannot be explained -- and many of them are autoinflammatory disorders. Many people all over the world have been inflicted with these disorders with no clear cause.
But recently, scientists were able to find a mutation that can help explain what some of these people are going through, a mutation that led to the identification of an autoinflammatory disorder now known as VEXAS. Tune in to learn more!
Hi Everyone, hope you are all staying safe during this pandemic. For our 50th full episode, we are continuing our series on the long intertwining history of race, racism, and science.

Hi Everyone, hope you are all staying safe during this pandemic. The murder of Black people like Breonna Taylor and George Floyd has led to a lot of discussion here at Petri Dish about what we could do with our platform.
