Sci Guys: Recent Episodes

The Sci Guys

Sci Guys is a podcast all about the weird and unbelievable ways that scientists learn about the world around us. Each week, Corry (@notcorry) tells the story of a particularly strange scientific study while his friends Jamp (@jampkin) and Luke (@lukecutforth) do their best to derail the conversation with questions, jokes, and whatever nonsense they can think of.

Bullying is a strangely accepted part of life; no matter how much schools (and workplaces) do to avoid it, bullies still manage to torment their victims. This week we take a look at the science to find out what makes a bully & whether there are any tactics to tackle this persistent problem

Psychiatric hospitals & mental asylums often receive a bad rap in fiction, but is there any truth to that? This week we dive into the crazy history and science of psych wards!

CORRECTION
We mentioned that one can be admitted to a psychiatric ward via showing up at the ward itself, without prior referral.
This is very much not the case (as detailed in #1 of our references & further reading). In the UK one should speak to a GP, psychiatrist, or another healthcare specialist for a referral to inpatient psychiatric care.

Apologies for the error! We make an effort to an accurate & reliable source of information, and while sometimes we make mistakes, we are always open to corrections.

If you spot any points that need correcting, head to sciguys.co.uk/corrections

Finding fossils frequently for financial funding was Mary Anning’s sole source of income for most of her life, but she didn’t just find and sell fossils - she was one of the most accomplished palaeontologists of her time. Unfortunately she was also a woman, more specifically a woman from a lower class background, which meant that she did not receive the formal recognition she deserved in her lifetime.

Way back in the 1940s a man, Bertold Wiesner, started a fertility clinic with his wife and helped in the conception 1500 children.

He had a slightly more hands on approach than most, because he used his own sperm to conceive 600 of those kids. We have Rachel Kiki on to talk about this as they are Wiesner’s grandchild!

We also go into the invention of artificial insemination and IVF

Othniel Marsh and Edward Cope were not only mortal enemies, but also two of the most prolific palaeontologists of all time!

Do rats go to heaven? The answer is yes, but it’s not as nice as you might think!

Corry tells the story of John B Calhoun, a man who ran massive, years long experiments on rats and mice to really see what made them tick. Turns out rats and humans aren’t as different as we expected.

Do vaccines cause autism? That’s just one of the questions we’re debating this week. We get into the scientific roots of the Antivax movement, and figure out whether it’s really that dangerous to choose to leave a child unvaccinated.

Whether you believe in vaccinations or not, there’s something for you in this episode. Have a listen, and hopefully you’ll learn something about both sides of this debate.
