I know we can’t travel right now but we discuss how vesicles can travel inside the cell and outside the cell and catch flight not feelings and what vesicular transport can teach us about breast cancer, and some insight on what metastasizing cancer cells look for when they travel to new niche environments and what your iPhone4 v iPhone11 have in common with a super resolution microscope. We also commiserate over wild questions in a candidacy exam.  https://www.scientistswholift.com

Flights not Feelings: Exocytosis and Breast cancer

On this episode I talk to three of the people behind #BlackBirdersWeek Alexi (@Alhendiify), Rhi (@rhiannon_kirton) and Juita @juitamartinez about their respective faves and we celebrate Black naturalists and all the forms they come in. So if you think a person that has touched a grizzly bear is kick ass, or someone with 100+ bats is awesome or someone that loves Dinosaur Floofs (or as I like to call them Flying Muppets) is incredible these are three for you. M     aybe you wanted to know why your cat goes crazy at 3a for no reason or you enjoy slandering white tail deer and nutria this is the episode for you.  @Alhendiify @rhiannon_kirton IG:rhi_kirton   @juitamartinez on IG and twitter @BlackAFinSTEM 

Naughty by Nature: Baternities, pelicanologists and meese.

On this episode we (@Tasia1409 and I) talk about my love for gin, stem cell research and how they’ve revolutionized our understanding of disease and organs,  neurodegenerative diseases organoids which are mini organs and I get an opportunity to slander toddlers who are poorly coordinated and steal snacks. We also discuss what it is like being a Black scientist in the EU and her experiences as a graduate student as well as her joint initiative ViSTEM_Africa to increase visibility of African scientists”   Here are the links mentioned during the show:    Twitter: Tasia1409 IG: Mudiwa1409 LinkedIN: Nathasia Muwanigwa FB: Nathasia Muwanigwa ViSTEM_Africa visibilitystemafrica.com Vagina Bible by jen gunter Why I’m no longer talking to white people race 

Out My Mind: Brain Organoids and Parkinson's Disease

On this episode I talk to host of youtube’s Flyy Science (twitter: flyyscience1 | flyyscience@gmail.com) about the vaginal microbiota, microbiomes in general and how antibiotics influence micro biomes and how they bounce back. I bring back the age old debate of which is the superior model organism yeast v bacteria. We also talk about some tips for reading primary literature.  To find more scientists:  #scicomm #sciencetwitter #BlackandSTEM Stay safe, stay healthy, stay sane!

All Eyes On Me: Glaucoma and How It Works

On this episode I talk to @Afro_Herper about her field work, #FindThatLizard and some tips on how to win, why crocodiles aren’t just giant lizards and I am amazed by legless lizards not being just snakes. We also talk about how lizards communicate and their communities and how they use dropping it like it’s hot to evade predators.   Programs mentioned: https://mcnairscholars.com    https://www.nsf.gov/funding/pgm_summ.jsp?pims_id=13646    Interested in herpetology? https://tucsonherpsociety.org https://parcplace.org

Miss Itty Bitty Liz(ard): Lizard Lounges and Bearded Dragon Bars

On this episode (@hood_naturalist) and I talk about biodiversity, birds and bars from her hit single ‘Count’.  I learn a lot about bird ecology and migration, some of the factors that negatively impacting wild life (spoiler alert: humans ruin stuff), and the things we can do to try to minimize our impact on the planet, how birds prepare their summer bodies, our fellow animal inhabitants and the environment.  I also get the answer to the question we’ve all been asking ourselves “WHY THE HELL DO MOSQUITOES EVEN EXIST, THEY DO NO GOOD?”, “Why geese are mean when we see them?” and if zoos are just animal prisons (spoiler: they’re not anymore, they do good work)   Here are some ways you too can support conservation efforts:    Also turns out your views from the tall apartment building may be killing birds: learn more (https://www.allaboutbirds.org/why-birds-hit-windows-and-how-you-can-help-prevent-it/)   The Greening youth foundation:  (gyfoundation.org)   National Audubon Society  (Action.audubon.org)

On this I episode I talk to a neuroscientist about a special type of cell in the nervous system called glia. We specifically talk about glia in the peripheral nervous system: what we know about them, what we don't know and the work our guest is doing to learn more. We also talk at length about conferences (some pro tips from a SFN and ABRCMS attendee), grant funding (from a NSF GRFP awardee) and about diversity in STEM.
