Transcribe →Role Reversal
Apr 27, 202000:49:45Tap to summarizeAfter 6 years, 116 pages, and 29,379 words- I was officially made Sadie Witkowski, PhD! I thought the appropriate way to celebrate such a momentous occasion was to flip the show on its head so that I can share a bit about the work I've conducted throughout grad school.

Transcribe →Sustainable Sipping
Mar 31, 202000:33:51Tap to summarizeOlea Morris studies ecovillages, places where people try to live off-the-grid in the most sustainable way they can. Olea focuses specifically on how humans in these villages interact with the animals that share their space.

Transcribe →Tipsy or Tripping?
Mar 17, 202000:56:10Tap to summarizeWe all have that friend who is convinced CBD is a true panacea, but has no scientific evidence to back it up. Well, let me introduce you to a memory researcher who has moved into clinical research focusing on CBD, psilocybin, and other trippy drugs. Manoj Doss walks us through some of his research and what we do (or don't) know about different substances.

Transcribe →Statistically sloshed
Mar 2, 202000:40:04Tap to summarizeTurns out knowing a person for a few years doesn't necessarily mean you know what they do. I knew Sarah was in the department of statistics, but I had no idea how far-reaching her work is! If you're interested in education research, experimental design, and giving back to your community- Sarah Peko-Spicer is your girl!

Transcribe →Cold Beers and Cool Water Make For Happy Corals (and Coral Scientists)
Feb 11, 202000:39:57Tap to summarizeI can't help but be jealous of Chris Wall's field research. For his PhD, he got to live in Hawaii and snorkel/scuba through the reefs as 'research.' Granted, studying coral means contending with climate change in a very direct way.

Transcribe →Fashion Film Framboise
Jan 28, 202000:36:03Tap to summarizeAcademic research is all about digging deeply into a topic, often in an area that is actually the synthesis of several topics. Today's guest, Bianka, fits this interdisciplinary model to a T. She studies the intersection of movement, fashion, and film.

Dec 18, 201900:46:38Tap to summarizeHappy holidays! I recorded this episode with colleague and friend, Andrew Hall, just after our department party.
