    Science Needs Creativity
    Jun 10 2026

    Science and art have always intersected but are still thought of as separate and opposing disciplines. This week, to talk about how the two concepts converge and how they benefit one another, host Dr. Samantha Yammine is joined by interdisciplinary artist Kindra Crick. Sam also investigates a very interesting finding about a previously unseen remora behavior as well as a study that looks into why there are so few cases of cancer in the heart.

    Copy, Paste, Clone: What it Takes to Bring Back the Past
    Jun 3 2026

    For a subject that won the Nobel Prize in 2012 and could be considered a scientific miracle, we surprisingly don’t hear a lot about cloning today. This episode, Dr. Vilceu Bordignon joins Dr. Samantha Yammine to give us an update on where we are with the science of cloning and how that technology is moving forward. Sam also looks into some new studies that explain why some old houses feel haunted and a surprisingly eco-friendly way to deal with termites.

  • What Out-of-Body Experiences Reveal About Consciousness

    What Out-of-Body Experiences Reveal About Consciousness
    May 27 2026

    It might sound like a sci-fi concept, but out-of-body experiences are surprisingly common, affecting up to 20% of the population. To explore what happens when our sense of self detaches from our physical form, we are joined by neuroscientist Dr. Marina Weiler, who challenges the traditional view that the brain creates the mind. Before that, Sam investigates the evolutionary mystery of why true crabs walk sideways, and later, a new study reveals how a popular Korean skincare ingredient could become a powerful ally in the fight against antibiotic resistance.

Love the chemistry between friends Calli and Nate whom are the hosts, Also, them going over and discussing current science topics.

While due to format, they don't go in depth on the topics, it is a great way to get enough about new topics to decide if you want to find out more.

Much more entertaining and enjoyable than trying to go alone to find interesting science topics!

It's almost like you're just sitting down with friends and discussing the topics.

Quick way to find out about new things in science
